POETRY.
HEARTH AND HOME.

Out of the noise and out of the strife,
To the hearth so calm and bright,
The men come home to women who walt
In the fresjde happy light.
For hearth and home is the dearest place
To men and women who love;
And when peace is there a blessing
feats
From our Fathers home above.
The tender kiss, and the baby's coe,
Then gladdens the tired heart;
The care and glare of the busy day,
Like wearisome dreams depart.
The souls joy shines in tne loving smile
That welcomes the dear enc home;
Wife's world is in the sheltering walls
In cot or meath palace dome.
Oh, God of love, guard ever such homes,
All over our beautiful land!
Let quiet hearths life's guidance be
To mansions not made with hands.
For hearth and home is the dearest place
To men and women who love;
And when peace is there q blessing
floats
From our Fathers home above.
IS. B. StebbiDs in DemGrest for May.

Babel.

| Remains of the famous Tower of Babel
sUil exist.
Each side of the quadrangular basis
measures two hundred yards in length,
and the bricks of which it is composed
are of the purest white clay, with very
slight brownish tint.
The bricks before baking, were cover
ed with characters traced in clear and
regular style.
The bitumen, which served for cement,
was derived from fountain which still
exists near the tower, and which flows
with such an abundance that it soon
forms a stream, and would invade the
neighboring river did not the natives,
from time to time, set fire to the stream
of bitumen.

Love Cannot Grow Old.

And ripe with cultured dogma, say
That time effects in love breach,
And faith departs as charms decay.

brow,
When color, curve, and grace have hed
Will she be then as dear as now 2
Well, take true women of our lands,
Take men of brave and gentle race!
They know if time endows loves bands
With added and vicarious grace.
! hold that love cannot grow old
His counterfeit presentment may,

Of lineaments beyond decay.
1 know that. though the rush for gain
And press of life make men less fine,
Yet knightliest natures still retain
The legends that make love divine.

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Experience is a dear teacher.
Years know more than books.


Years know more than books.
Difficulties give way to diligence.
Deliberate slowly, execute promptly.
Discreet steps make speedy journeys.
Better be alone than in bad COM any.
Best men are often moulded oul of
faults.
Disinterestedness is the very soul of
virtue.
The sense of death is most in appre-
hension.
A great mind is formed by few great
ideas.
Buyers want a hundred eyes, sellers
none.
Any ruth, faithfully faced, is strength
in itself.
The greatest wealth is contentment
with little.
Habit. if not resisted, soon becomes a
necessity.
There is no power of genius that can
do the work of toll.
To some kind of men their graces
serve them as enemies.
There is no absolute beauty but the
abstract one of perfect goodness.
1t is more honorable to acknowledge
our faults than to boast of our merits.
False modesty is like a door ostenta-
tiously padlocked, but broke at the hinges
Pride is increased by ignorance; those
assume the most who know the least.
There is no knife that cuts so sharply,
and with such poisoned blade, as treach-
cry.
Religion is not a thing of noise and
spasm, but of silent self sacrifice and
quiet growth.
To wish to do without our fellows,
and to be under obligation to no one, is
sure sign of soul void of Sensibility.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A MOST EsTIMABLE
LADY.-Mrs. Carter Berkeley, wife of DR..
Carter Berkeley of this city, died very sud-
denly on Saturday last. During the day
she had been out shopping and in the
evening had been attacked with a very
severe headache from the effects Of which
she suffered so intensely that she retired
to her room. Sometime afterwards the
symptoms became alarming, and physi-
clan was hurriedly sent for. When he
arrived, however, Mrs. Berkeley was dead,
death having resulted, it is thought, from
paralysis of the brain. The distressing
news spread rapidly through the city, and
a universal sympathy was expressed for
the husband and little children of the de-
ceased and her many friends. A peculiar
ly sad circumstance connected with this
sad event. was the absence of DIR. Berke-
ley. He had gone to Norfolk and Old
Point day or two before leaving his fam
lily, as he thought, in perfect health. On
Sunday he received the first intelligence
of his bereavement, and reached home
Monday evening.
Tha deceased was lady of rare attrac-
tions of both mind and person, and gen
eral favorite. She was the daughter of
the late Mr.. VIM. Gilkeson, and sister of
Messrs. M. F. and Jno. Gilkeson of this
county. The funeral took place from the
Episcopal chuRoh on Tuesday evening.

THE OPERA HOUSE should be properly

little difference to the citizens of the town,
lbut it is a matter of no little Importance
THAT they should have a hall that will en-
liable those who attend entertainments to
get the benefit of the performance. The
present acoustics are simply abominable,
and the arrangement of the hall far from
perfect. If these defects can be remedied
the people will not complain. A botched
job, like the former one, will raise howl
that it will require great deal of explana-
ton TO explain.
