As the Autumn leaves are falling,
as the fow'rs fade and decay,
So our loved are passing from us,
Out Of darkness unto day;
As the sunsets cleaning amber,
Gives but place 70 Ticher shades,
AZ the birds Of passage leave us,
But TO enter warmer glades;
Thus our treasures hOmewaFd flying,
Gather round Gods altar there,
Leaving e~arth.llfe but TO enter,
On a life more full and fair.
Weep not, then, at their departure,
Let them go from death 70 life,
Ills the debt we owe 10 nature,
Ills but freedom from all strife;
But the hutter Of the heart-beats,
But the closing offs leaf;
But Gods reaper garn'ring up
Full ripe blossoms Of the sheaf,
But the dropping OF the eyellds,
But the gasping Of the breath,
But tho clasping hands with him,
Whom we mOrtals know &c death;
Then the crown Of brigh, immOrtelles,
And the palm leaf In III hands,
Then the welcome angels gives US
When we reach the holy land.

Death Of IHOn. Joseph Regan.

Port Gibson Reyeille,
AT a late hour on Thursday evening,
We received the melancholy inttlli.
geDce Of the death, on Monday night,
Of the Hon. Joseph Regan, OF this
county, An invalid for years, this
painful event was not unexpected, yet
we are never prepared for the fnal
separation, and for giving up those to
whom a lifelong friendship, and the
still dearer attachments Of heart and
home have bound ne. In all the rela-
tons OF life, Capt, Regan was conspic.
uous for his lofty integrity, his rare
intelligence, and for his great useful.
ness as q pu~blic-spirited gentlemen.
He was a native Of this county, and
more than forty years ago he was
known as prominent in all the affairs
OF public concern. Well educated, free
from every vice, aud endowed with an
ample fortune, his early life opened
full Of promise, and he filled the meas
ure Of bis days with honor 10 himself,
and usefulness to the people.
1t is due to u county history, and
10 The memory Of the worthy, that a
record of the lives Of our useful men
should be kept, and in our next issue
we will give a more extended notice of
the life Of the friend whose death has
chilled the hearts of surviving loved
ones, aud left them as wilhered leaves.

The Curse of Americans is Impetuosity.

We cannot do anything moderately. We
don't take time to eat or drink. When the
season Of social gatherings comes on in
winter, we rush from one to another, night
after night, until we become tired out and
the system is run down. In Summer we
fly to the watering places and idle our
time in luxury. No wonder that we be-
come "blaze" in middle life. Then we try
medicines to recuperate, and often resort
to unfortunate stimulation in the vain hope
of wooing back our youthful energies.
Every European sees this. AS things are,
the best remedy, when the physical powers
begin to decline, is the Peruvian Syrup,
which has for many years been used in ex-
actly this direction. 1t is the best tonic
known to man and the least injurious. 1t
restores wasting energies, strengthens the
system against the insidious maladies
which are induced by weakness, and builds
up the system properly and effectively.
Sold by dealers generally.
