derer and the murderer of the whole

POET RY.


THE OLD HOME.
o little house lost in the heart of the llndens.
What would not give to behold you once
more!
To inhale once again the sweet breath of your
roses,
And the starry clematis that climbed round
your door
To see the neat windows thrown wide to the
sunshine;
The porch where we sat at the close Of the
day,
Where the weary foot trav'ler was welcome to
rest him,
And the beggar was ever sent empty away.
The wainscoted walls, and the low RATED CELL
To hear the loud tick of the clock on the
stair;
And to kiss the dear face bending over the
That always was laid by my grandfathers
chair!
o bright little garden beside the plantation,
Where the tall fleur-de-lis their blue banners
unfurled,
And the lawn was alive with thrushes and
blackbirds,
would you were all I had known of the
world
My sweet pink pea clusters! My rare honey
suckle!
My prim polyanthuses all of a row!
In garden of dreams Iashall pass and caress
you,
But your beautiful selves are forever laid
low;
For your walls little house, long ago have
been levelled;
Alien feet your smooth borders, o garden,
have trod;
And those whom loved are at rest from their
labors,
Reposing in peace, on the tosom of God

FRIED SHAD.-Cut the shad across
into rather large pieces, and if the fish
is very thick split each piece through
the middle; season with salt, pepper,
dredge with flour and fry in hot lard
Turn the pieces of fish frequently that
they may not burn. The roe should
also be seasoned nicely and fried. Serve
sauce t0rtore with fried shad. Bass
may be fried in the same way.

DEATH FROM A SPLINTER.-A little
boy about five years of age, the child of
DR.. S. w. Dickinson, fell few days ago
and stuck splinter in his leg just above
the knee. It was thought that the
scratch was an Insignificant one, but on
Sunday symptoms of lock jaw made
their appearance, and it was then dis
covered that the splinter was still in the
little fellows leg. 1t was removed by
his ather, but the child grew steadily
worse, and, though he received all the
medical aid of his father, assisted by
Drs Apperson, Baker, and Pendleton,
he died ;on Monday night Louisa
