POE r r. Y
TIME AND THE MAIDEN.

A little girl rock'd in a fairy boat,
By the waves of the river of life afoat,
And her goldsn tresses and laughter gay
Floated back on the breeze as she sped away;
And she gaily cried to the poatman gray,
ply faster your tardy oars, pray,
And bear me away from this blossoming wood
To the beautiful island of maidenhood.'
The maiden's isle has been reached and passed
Still on and beyond is her fond gaze cast,
AS she cries again to the boatman gray,
''Ply faster your tardy oars. pray,
For my lover is waiting by yonder shore,
With gilded bark and golden oar;
Love sits at the helm to cheer and guide,
And he waiteth for me, his chosen BRIDE"
Oh, love. what beautiful freight hast thou!
The bark is laden from stem to prov,
And the mother gazes with loving pride
On her mate. and the dear ones who throng her
side;
Yet still she cries to the boatmnn gray,
"Ply faster your tardy oars, I pray,
For Wealth, and Fame, and Honor await
My loved ones when they shall reach mans
estate"
And now the river is deep and wide,
And branches flow from its either side,
And the children, to man, and womanhood
grown,
And launching forth In boats Of their own,
And the mother cries, with q sudden fear,
''0h. tarry, gray boatman, yet longer here;
Why hurry on with such speed, pray?.
ou are bearing my loved ones all away"'
Again she rocks in boat alone,
And her heart keeps time to The waves love
moan,
AS she feebly cries. to the boatman gray,
"Ply faster your tardy oars, pray,
For the dear ones have gone my from living
care,
They have drifted out on the sea so fair,
And long to be with them and part no more,
On the tireless waves d the golden Shore"

THE BEAvE AT HOME.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ.

The maid who binds the warriors sash
With smiles that well her pain dissembles
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart is torn asunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle!
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses.
Then breathes few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field Of honor!

THE BOOKS OF TIE BIBLE,

In Genesis the world was made;
In Exodus the march was told;
Leviticus contains the law;
In Numbers are the tribes enrolled.
In Deuteronomy again
We're urged to keep Gods law alone;
And these five books of Moses make
The Oldest writings that are known.
Brave Joshua to Canaan leads;
In Judges oft the Jews rebel;
We read Of David's name in Ruth
And First and Second Samuel.
In First and Second Kings we read
How bad the Hebrew state became;
In First and Second Chronicles
Another history of the same.
In Ezra captive Jews return,
And Nehemiah builds the wall;
Queen Esther saves her race from death.
These books "historical" we call.
In Job we read of patient faiths
The Psalms are David's songs of praise:
The Proverbs are to make us wise;
Ecclesiastes next portrays
How fleeting earthly pleasures are;
The Song Of Solomon is all:
About the love of Christ; and these
Five books devotional" we call.
Isaiah tells Of Christ to come,
While jeremiah tells of woe,
And in his Lamentations mourns
The Holy City's overthrow.
Ezekiel speaks Of mysteries,
And Daniel foretells Kings Of old:
Hosea calls men to repent;
In Joel blessings are foretold.
Amos tells of wrath; and Edom
Obadiah's sent to warn
While Jonah shows that Christ should die,
And Micah where He Should be born.
In Nahum Ninevah is seen;
In Habakkuk Chaldea's guilt;
In Zephaniah Judah's sins;
In Haggai the Temple built.
Zachariah speaks Of Christ,
And Malachi, OF John, His sign.
The prophets number seventeen,
And all the books are thirty-nine.
Matthew. Mark, and Luke, and John,
Tell what Christ did in every place;
Acts show what the Apostles did,
And Romans how we're saved by grace.
Corinthians instructs the church,
Galatians shows us faith alone.
Ephesians true love; and in
Philippians Gods grace Is shown.
Colossians tells US more of Christ,
And Thessalonians at the end;
In Timothy and Titus both
Are rules for pastors to attend,
Philemon Christian friendship shows;
Then Hebrews clearly tells us how all
The Jewish law prefgured Christ;
And those epistles are by Paul.
James shows that faith by works must live,
And Peter urges steadfastness,
While John exhorts to Christian love,
For those who have it God will bless.
Jude shows the end of evil men,
And Revelation tells of heaven.
This ends the whole New Testament,
And all the books are twenty-seven.

The writer paid visit to another new en-
terprise that has quietly sprung up in the vi
cinity of Knoxville within the last fortnight.
We refer to the new planning mill of j. Rose
d Co.. situated next to the south end of the
new river bridge. The mill has commenced
work, but will require much work yet to
complete the plans which are laid
out for convenience of doing the work.
The machinery is of home manufacture,
being made by the Knoxville Furnace and
Machine Co. The saw is said to be the
thinest, sixty inch plate, ever sold in Knox
vile; it runs very quietly and cuts ten
thousand feet of lumber per day. A small
steam pump near the river forces the water
into large tank above the mill so that water
can play on any part of the yard, should a
fire demand it. Being level with the bridge
there is no hard pull to get out with lumber
for our market; and a telephone con-
nection, in process of building, viii make
this yard one of the most convenient for
the city This is the fourth mill owned by
this firm of enterprising young men, and
we hope to see them on the summit of sue
cess, landmarks for rising generations.
The company own good tract of land
and have fine supply of logs. The office
being erected is in position commanding
| the whole yard and affording char ming
view of the river and hills beyond

Our lockwood Letter.

RoCKwooD, Tenn, March 9Th, 1882.
Mr.. EDIroR: March marched in with
three very warm, pleasant days, followed by
rains and cool weather. The grass, wheat and
rye look green, and peach trees are in bloom.
Cattle now obtain half their living in the
range, from grass and buds. Farmers and
gardeners are busy, and all seem to feel that
we have been very kindly dealt with by hay
ing such mild winter and early spring.
Thanks to kind providence none have
really suffered in our midst. The Roane
Iron Company gives employment to nearly
all who seek it, and this, together with the
steam brick works of Squires d Co., and
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, makes
suffering unnecessary. Of course l allude
to suffering from want of necessaries of life.
Many of our people are very improvideht,
never looking forward to rainy day, day
of sickness or distress, but spending freely
as fast as earned. One of our greatest
curses is drug store whisky, where the dis
titled damnation is sold under a ply sicians
prescription only. And under the laws of
Tennessee, what constitutes a physician?
Does it require study? Does it require good
moral character? Does it require anything
No it requires just nothing. ANY man,
with or without preliminary training, can,
if he choose, proclaim himself a doctor, and
write prescriptions, issue medicines, and
perform, to the best of his ability. any or
all of the functions of a physician and sur
geon, without aay fear of the law or the
consequences attendant upon NAL practice.
| 1t would be well for the new crop of solons
who expect to infest the State house, next
winter, to give this some attention.
Our public roads are in horrible condi-
ton, but this does not prevent the candi-
dates for the coming election from visiting
! their dear friends. W.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

There's no use in arguing the question of
the potency of some substances for especial
service in emergencies. They will do all
they promise, and more, if judiciously used.
The following from Mr.. P. Murphy, of No.
l Fire Station; Ottawa, Ca ada, bears upon
the point stated above. Mr. Murphy says;
I had occasion to use st. Jacobs Oil recent
ly, and must say that it is the best Liniment
1 ever saw used / caught cold from getting
wet at fire, and it settled in my shoulder
and down my back to my hip. 1 suffered
great deal from the pain. / was advised
to try st. Jecobs Oil / did SO, and after
the fourth application 1 was entirely free
from pain. i cannot speak too highly of it,
and advise others to use it.

The second bridge over Coal Creek, on
the new connection by way of the Ohio d.
vision of the E. T., Va. 4 Ga Railroad, is
now completed. 1t is situated about three
miles beyond Careyville, the terminus of
the old road The first bridge, which was
completed some weeks since, is about two
miles from CareyYille, and one mile from
the last bridge. Both are substantial iron
structures, of the most improved plans.
The constructing engineer, Major r. c.
McCalIa, and his force, were out yesterday
to test the second bridge; Just completed,
taking two of the heaviest engines for that
purpose force of hands has been at
work since Monday, laying track on the
connection byond the bridges, and it is eI-
pected that within few days the track will
be laid for distance of five miles, to
Buckeye, where a station will be estab-
lshed, and to which point the Careyville
train will likely run. -
