ABOVE my head. In graceful curves,
fhebirtis are gaily wIne1ngs
Inc fragrance Ola Thousand flowers
With sweets the air Is filing.
Mud song birds from their lenfv bowers
Their sweetest notes are trilling.
Among my locks the summer winds
Are WantOnly careSsing,
And everything see and hear
seems only love expressing.
The golden sunbeanls over all
Resplendently are streaming,
Aud birds ana flower and grass and tree
With happy life are teeming-
The sky bends down above NY head
It's light around me falling;
The tWittering birds and ruStling bough,
Seem TO each other calling.
Ger crested hills and pcarI-gray rocks
The golden shafts are slamting,
Illuming leafy dell and aisle
Through all the Masters planting.
The air is full OF odorous sweets,
The air is full OF humming,
As though ten thousand angel WINS
Ipan the air were drumming.
Ac;'C5ss the sky bright tinted shapes
Are gently, slowly sailing.
Like silver boats on a golden see,
Almost within our mailing.
A sweet content fills all my heart
And lifts il up in blessing,
As standing here my wife and /,
No single word expressing,
The glory Of this sweet June day
Fails like a revelation,
Affirming every tender thought

The Nashville American!

This faithful and unwavering advocate OF
Democratic principles, views the result of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive TO every sin
cere lover of his country and its institu-
tions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. IL Will be the province OF
The American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and To give the
people such information as viii lead them
to correct conclusions. The facts II viii give
will be without bias, upon which It's read
ers can form their own opinions. Time and
the recurrence of popular elections, show
that a very large portion of the voters OF the
Union act from the impulse Of the moment,
rather than from settled convictions In re-
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for the use OF
public Journals 10 obtain juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American will cndcavor with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American Will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State and National,
and will strive TO deserve what II already
enjoys, the name OF being the best news

politics or location.

Jones gave the old fellow a receipt

through the Office and critically ex-

said Jones, and off came the head.

tinued, clock up the forms and

went down, aid the paper came

read to the crowd. 1t ran as fol-

The New York San says, in regard
to the value of corn cobs for feeding
purposes, that they are not worth the
cost of grinding. Analysis shows that
they contain considerable nutritive mat
ter. but 1t is doubtful if the stomach of
animals can extract it from such hard
woody materials as corn cobs. They
may help to fill up and distend the
stomach and intestines, and that is all,
Those who keep sheep should
place salt in some place accessible daily
to the sheep. 1t is said that in Spain,
whenever sheep are kept in the neigh
borhood of rock salt hills or sea salt,
and have access to it, they thrive bet
ter than in other situations, and in
France the same thing is found to exist
in the neighborhood of the coast and
the salt works of the north; sheep give
more and better wool and the mutton is
more highly esteemed than that from
other localities.
