We are not informed what State produced

ourselves to make many inquiries concern

There is pathos in this little pDcm as delic-
iously musical the low voice of sympathy in
the hour Of dcsolation.]
o, have you not seen on some morning in June,
When the flowers were in tears and the forests in


tune,
When the billows of dawn broke bright on the air,
On the breast of the brightest, some star clnging


there
Some sentinel star, not ready to set
Forgetting to wanc and watching there yet
How YOU gazed on that vision of beauty awhile
How it wayered till won by the light of Gods


smile;
How it passed through the portals of pearl ike
How it paled as it passed and the morning star
The sky was all bushes and the earth was all


bliss,
And the prayer of your heart, "Bc my ending like


this


SO my beautiful May passed away from Lile's


even;
SO the blush Of her being was blended with


heaven;
So the bird of my bosom Auttered up to the dawn
A window was opcn-my darling was gone
truant from tears, from rrow, and sin
For the angels ON watch took the Wandcrcr in.
But when shall hear TIE new song that she sings
| shall know her again. notwithstanding her wings
By those eyes full of heaven, by the light on he

And the smile she wore here she will surely veal

IRISH SMARrNEss.-Somewherc IN Ne
vada Territory, an Irshman took job
from a minister, of filling up portion
of his grounds with earth Pat was to
receive six dollars day for the benefit
of himself, horse and cart, till the job
was completed, and the parson agreed to
furnish his son to help. Well, Pat tired
the experiment of killing two birds or
more with one stone. He took cellar
to dig in another part OF the town, and
was to receive six dollars day for the
services OF himself, horse and cart in do
ing the Job. But the cream of the joke
was, Pat hired the parsons son out to
the cellar owner at two dollars and hall
a day, and pocketed the money himself
Pat thus had a mighty "fat take;' he
dug the cellar and filled the parsons lo
at the same time, making twelve dollars
a day, and then added two fifty for th'
labor of the sou. If the people don't lie
up on the Yankees now, there's no justic'

PAPER.-The stock Of writing paper in our
town is entirely exhausted. There is not a
sh eet for sale. We have used up all the sup
ply of our editorial office, ami invaded our
stock of law statione ry. At length we have
destroyed all our legal blanks by writing edi-
torals ON their backs and We now use the
yellow ruled leaves, we have torn from an old
ledger Our subscribers who pay us deserve
all this trouble on their account. They stand
by us and we ought to work for them any way,
in this crisis wlen news is so important. But
those who use up our material after that fash
ion, and 'go their way rejoicing" with the
subscription price in their pockets ought to be
ashamed of themselves. That's it.


BY keeping our stock of printing paper
clio sely husbanded, and restricting our edition
only to those who have the grace of God to
pay for it and by not throwing away sheets for
nothing, which those who pay for them may
want hereafter; we will not stop. We have d
good stock on hand, and it will go hard if by
hook or crook we do not manage for more.

We do not know who is the author of
the following sound and excellent ad
vice to parents, but it is worthy to be
read, remembered, and practised in eve
ry family ..a"3J -t


No children ara ever so happy as
those who have been early taught i'm
plicit and immediate obedience to a pa
reut's wishes or will or commands s.
Would that parents more universally
felt that when they suffer their children
to disobey them, they are absolutely
teaching them to sin against God, by
breaking one Of his commandments,
and one to which the promise of long
life is given. No wonder if God, in just
displeasure, remove the child from its
tuition. Remember what a solemn and
Instructive lesson the Holy Book has
given in the history of Eli. e -


There is much danger, from an amia-
BILE wish to crafty child, Of counter
ordering our own orders. If you once
direct child to do thing, however
unpleasant it may be to yourself or the
child, insist with frmness upon immo.
diate and full obedience. There should
be no demur or delay.


Prompt obedience is as lovely in a
child, as its enforcement is diguifed in
parent. The firm and gentle con
straint of tai authority commands
respect, and even inspires reverence and
love in the child toward the parent
Thus, then, if you desire your children
should grow up, cherishing for you pro-
found esteem and affection, insist upon
this hlial duty-the duty Of implicit
Obedience-and commence early TC
begin right is the way to end right.

BY WILLIAM WINTER.
The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.
At tho cottage door the grsndsiro
sits pale in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind at twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him;
A fair young head Is pressed
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
Aud far from over the distance
The falicring echoes come,
OF the flying blast Of trumpet
And the rafting roll Of drum.
Aud the grandsire speaks in a whisper
1.-THE end no man can see
But we give him to MS COUNTRY,
Aud we give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The tose-buds fringe the door,
And over tho grassy orchard


The pnk-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty

The cottage is dark and still;
There's n namooss grave in the battlefield,
And new one under the hill.
And psllid, fearless woman


by the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steady dronc.

THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE
Among the special delights which have
so richly repaid our visit to New Eng
land was the inspection, it was our
privilege to make of DR.. J. G. Aver g.
Co.'S Laboratory, at Lowell Although
we knew by hear-sny, that it was large.
yet we were surprised when we came
into view of its real magnitude, and
still more by the extent and compton
ton of it's truly immense business -
The whole massive structure is In
fact one vast chemical laboratory, in
in which the processes of this wonder
full art are constantly going on. Medi-
co chemical science has found that the
curative properties ofany substance cx-
ist in some one or more of its compo-
nent parts. Thus the remedial effects
of opium are due solely to the morphia
it contains, although this is but one
eighteenth part of its weight the other
seventeen parts are gum, extractive
and inert or offensive matter. DIR. Ay-
er's system separates the medical prop-
critics Of each substance employed, aud
we are here shown the processes by
which the UirtUes Of each remedial agent
are chased through the alembics until
they come out completely pure at last.
These concentrated, purified medical
properties, or virtues, are finally com
bined together to produce the rem idies
which have made themselves a reputa-
ton for unrivaled excellence, all over
the world. Not only does the Doctor
disclaim all secrecy in his art and ex-
plain every process and every particular.
but he maintains that this is the only
process by which the people can be
supplied with the best possible remedies
for the treatment of disease The Form.
ula by which his remedies are made are
published ia the medical Journals and
have been prescn ed to large part Of
the medical Faculty of the United
States, aud arc constantly sent by mail
to such physicians as apply for them.-
