How swee,ly falls these simple words
Upon the human heart,
When friends long bound by strongest ties
Are doomed by fate TO part
Yon sadly press the hands Of those
Who thus in love caress you,
And soul responsive beats to soul
In breathing out God bless you
"God bles. you" all long months ago,
heard the mournful phrase,
When one whom IN childhood lovet
Wen, from my dreamy gaze.
Now binding tears fall thick and fast,
mourn my long lost treasure.
While echoes Of the heart bring back
The farewell prayer, God bless you
The mother sending forth her boy
To.ssn,es untried and new,
EssVD ma \ studied, stately speech,
Nor GoArmurs out, "adieu."
She ssflS says between her sobs,
Wha er mi.fnrtunes press you,
Como sohy mother--boy, come back;
Then sally sighs, "dod bless you
sCsol bless you !" more Of love expresses
Than volumes without rumber;
Reveal We thus our trust in Hun,
Whose eyclids never slumber,
] ask in parting no long speech,
Drawled ou, in studied measure,
I orly ask the dear old words.
So sweet-so sad-"God bless you!

There are few greater mistakes than
the prevailing disposition among peo-
pie in middling life to bring up their
daughters as fine ladies, neglec,ing
useful knowledge for snowy accom-

Importance is in an inverse ratio to
their true value. With just enough
of fashionable refinement TO disqualify
them for the duties of their proper
station, and render them ridiculous in

ladies fit for? Nothing, but TO be
kept like wax figures in glass case.
Woe to .he man that is linked 10 one

The Builders.
HENRY W. LoNGFBLLow.

All are architects Of Fate.
Working in these walls Of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments Of rhyme.
Nothing useless is. or low;
Each thing in its place is best,
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled:
Our to.days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between
Think not, because no man sees,
Such ihisags will remain unseen.
Insthe elder days OF Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute aud unseen part;
For the gOas see everywhere.
Let MS do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, VIII gods miy dwell,
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls OF Time,
Buoken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they sect to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong aud sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall Tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turerts, where the eye
Sees the world rs one vast plain,
Aud one boundless reach of sky.

Letter from Mississippi.
BRANDON, Miss June IL, 1882


Having a little leisure time this
morning, l beg leave to use some of
your valuable space as q medium Of
communication to my old friends in
your excellent country.
First, | wish to congratulate your
readers on the glowing prospects of
an abundant harvest succeeding the
late terrible deluge. and you, MIR. Edi-
tor, and your good wife on the pre-
cious treasure committed to your trust
by the birth angel which recently
tapped his wings over your dwelling.
Accept my best wishes for your sue
cess in your efforts to train him NJ in
the way that he should 60.
We are very pleasantly situated at
Brandon, and though We are not as
we'll pleased with Mississippi as we
are with Louisiana, we arc willing to
remain, believing that it is our Mas
ter's will that we arc here. This is
indeed pleasant community, and one
of considerable moral, social and in-
tellectual refinement. / do not, how
ever, consider this q very healthy
country. AS in every other part of
Mississippi our people look upon
Louisiana. as o vast burial ground
but cannot see that this country has
any advantage 10 this particular.
Since our arrival here, on the 18th of
March, there has been great deal of
sickness in this and surrounding neigh
borhoods. The physicians have been
busy the greater portion of the time.
and much of the sickness has been fa-
tai. One of the best physicians in
our town told me that between the
months of October and March be bad
treated ten cases of swamp fever near
this place. did not, last fall hear of
this much swamp fever in ten parish
es Of your State. AS for consump-
ton and dyspepsia, there is any
amount of both. AS for crops. with
tie exception Of oats (Which have
yielded bounteously). they are exceed
ingly unpromising, and plar;srs are
considerably discouraged. -
Pciigiously, the outlook is some
what encouraging. On the fourth
Sabbath in May l preached at Pela-
hatchie Il. Il. town. IL miles east
of this place. / was delighted at the
close of each service to see a eoodly
number offer for prayer. On the first
Sunday in June l preached at Fannin,
ten miles north of Brandon. There
were three additions to the church,
two by baptism. Last Sunday !
preached at Brandon. There were
seven additions to the church, three Of
which were by baptism. These | will
baptize tomorrow in the pool in a
beautiful grove below the public
square.
Our educational advantages are
fine. Our female college is doing a
grand work. Day before yesterday,
two young ladies graduated with rare
distinction, and received their diplo-
mas from the hands of bis Excellency,
Gov. Lowrey. For the benefit Of
those who sneer at female education,
aud thiuk that women cannO; make
efficient teachers, l will say that Bran
don Female College is conducted by
a lady, who is an acknowledged edu-
Gator of the highest order. and ber
assistants are all ladies, and finer
teachers are no where to be found.
expect to be at Rayville when the
cars run through, and l can arrange
my business so as to be away FROM

Is iron to go out of fashion, A young
man at Pittsburg proposes to make nails
from Bessemer steel to weigh but half
as much as the iron article, and yet be
so stiff that they can be driven into the

which is said to cut them three times
as fast as the old kind are made.-St.

A black magnetic sand that is found
in abundance in California is by new
process utilized in the manufacture of
cast-steel direct from the sand. Eight
pounds of sand yield five pounds of

inventors expect to revolutionize the
steel trade of the Pacific coast.-Sa9

The successful employment of gas
as fuel for iron manufacture will in
troduce a greater era than did the use
of coal for a similar purpose. A fuel
that can be produced on the spot, as
and when wanted, at less original cost
than any other known, and minus the
added inconvenience, delays and ex-
penses of freightage, possesses advan-
tages with which no other fuel can
compete. The only doubts as to whether
gas can be 50 produced at such low cost
have been dissipated by the successful
introduction of water gas. Few ingred-
tents have greater value with less cost
than the original elem ents.-Iron.
