tiOn of Affairs Improving.
LYNCHBURG, Nov. 21.-LOcal papers
in the counties visited with the fatal
scOurge make only brief mention of its
ravages, but further information shows
that the former reports were not exagger-
ated. The GaysOnville, Wise county,
Times says that $50 deaths have occurred
in that county. The disease spreads over
a considerable section, but is worse in
Wise, Lee, Buchanan and Dickinson
counties. Rains have fallen there in the
last two days. The water supply, which
was very foul and which was supposed to
have been the cause of the trouble, has
been replenished and the disease is re-
porte d to be abating. Physicians describe
it as acute typhoid dysentery.

DcGr,E.
Old Serpent Time has cast some rings
Whose rattle gives no Warming
Since You and I, two happy things,
PLAYED here in LIES young morning.
| SIT beneath the self same boughs,
And there the stones-they grow here still
Ofwhich we built our baby-house
Under this Bcech-tree ON the hill.
Yonder the old brook gldes along
Where we padded our stick canoe
Singing. singing the same old song
Thst enticod our stocking and shoe
And there the sycamore, tall and snl-o,
Whose coveted balls hung up so high
We thought if We could climb Its height
We'd write our names upon the SKY.
The dear old pond where the ducks still swim
With is nurmur like mermaids steps,
Where the wheeling swallows still dip and skim
Through the beautiful heavens within is
depths.
Oar sheep that used TO nibblc and crop,
All me how precisely looked like those,
And the red cows there upon thai slope
Might be the very self same cows
As young as then sweet nature looks
Bcncath this tender morning sky;
The trees the hills, the stream, the rocks
There nothing changed but you and !.
We've turned another hilltop now,
Bat not at childhood's rampant race,
Beneath Times heavy cross we bow
At Womau's sober, chasseaed pace.
Our girlhoods plans are scattered-scat,ered
Like pebble stones beneath our tree,
Our airy castles roughly shattered
BY stern blasts of reality.
The Flcdgelings of our Hopes frs VOWS
Have left no feather in their track
Like to the nests in these old bOuslE,
Departed birds come no more back.
And yet Life hath . glorious charm;
4 Past so sacred 10 the SOUL
\ Present grand, and full and calm,
4 Future best, aye, bcs; Of oil.
From this Lite-sammit we discern
A hill crowned with perennial day,
Where childhoods radiance lost and gone
Blooms back again like flowers IN May.
Within the boughs that fringe that river
No empty nest-liopc's Spring birds Town,
And with those stones we build forever,
And every stone " prcScious stone
And so, dear Y. let's keep in heart
rs young and fresh as Nature docs;
Like her wcll then defy Times dart
And cheat Old Age out of his years.
For we'll the soul may bloom with bliss,
And gush In yernal laughter,
To own SD fair world Is this
And such a grand Hereafter

Hog Law.

Portugal following the example of
France and Germany has entered
upon policy of prohibition against
American pork. Probably we might
retaIiate by prohibiting the importa-
ton of cork, of which we take $780,
600 worth annually. But this, it
seems to us, is biting ones nose off
to spite Of their face. We do not
look upon this prohibition as an un-
mixed evil. If it would only cause
our Legislators to reflect upon the inn
portance of our agricultural interests
and establish proper means of en-
couraging and protecting agriculture
as much as manufactures, prohibit
ton will do far more good than can
be estimated.
Exports of hog products have al
most entirely ceased, owing to rise
of prices i'm our local markets and to
the reduction in stock at Chicago,
there being in pork 27,367 barrels
less, in lard S,500,00 pounds less
than during the corresponding month
last year. Continental markets are
well supplied with lard, however, as
there are in stock at the five princi-
pal ports 45, 500 tierces, as against
80, 900 tierces same period last year.
Hogs have advanced ten cents per
hundred weight at Chicago, land aver
age s6.29 per hundred weight

ONE DAY.

How sweet the blue sky beamed one day
How softly sighed the breeze,
/ seem to hear its whispers sway
These same old willow trees;
/ seem to see the golden gleam
OF sunlight clusping shade,
And catch the ripple ofthe stream
That wanders through the glade.
One day what was the song in sang
So softly IN my ear?
"One day, one day." it seems to say
''Yoa were not lonely here!''
The trees stood round us two, one day
All me, the years are old),
And all the sunlight seemed to stray
Ia foods of molten gold;
And life for us was only love,
And neve- love before;
look at those blue vaults above,
And wonder why you swore
One lay. to love me as you iOv'd
For ever. everInOre;
One day, one day, those false vows say,
All! trust in vows no more
One day-it was so long ago
Yet Irememher still;
Bnt how the leaves sweep tn and fro.
Aud nu;unin's breath is chill.
And never CLEAN of golden light
Falls ON my weary face
The face you thought so glad and bright
In all its maiden grace.
One day. one day, my love that was,
My love that ne 'er shall he,
For all the love had for you,
You had no love for mel
