In all its pain and pleasure—
And oft mine own gdes baek to thee;
Its last and dearest treasure;
'Tis mine to gaze on stormy setts;
And tiew its wreck of glory there,-
And thine to - feel life'ermorning breeze
Unmixed with ail its chill despatt.

The world which hath bereft me;
And dream awhile that joys will come
As bright as those that left me!
And tliell , some wounded bird will stray
From memory's track of withered flowers,
To flutter o'er my future way,
And sing the dirge of holier hours.
The day that died on yonder height
Shall life - again to-morrow— •
But when the heart goes down in night,.
It finds 71 morn from sorrow;
The frown of night, the smile of dawn,
Will vainly gloom or gild the sky—
cTis'always night when thou art gobs,
'Tie ever day when thou art nigh.
Thou May'st not feel that I have loved
As man no ttrore may love thee—
Until the vows of men have proved;
Vain as the clouds above thee;
But doWn the butial vale of years
My words will rise with memiiics rife,
Like _ rave-stones wet with napless tearer,
Which cannot call the dead to life.

Sweet Sabbath Eve, thy peaceful hourg,-
A re fading fast away,
The deepening shades of twilight soon.,

Unmixed with anxious care,
So peacefilfe and serene, it seems
The breath of Italy prayer. .
Oh fitting hour of sweet repose,
The soul from fetters free
Is deaf to cafe% and only lists,

Sweet foretaste of celestial bliss,
Emblem of promised rest,
Thy holy charm doth emanate,
From mansions of the blest.

The Liverpool journals give further partic

ship London, (built of ifon,) in the Bay of
Biscay, and the loss of 210- lives. The ves

of the London,
informed the passengers th at the steamer was
sinking, and that they must prepare for the
worst is thus described:
The whole of the passengers and crew
gathered, as with one consent, in the chief
saloon, and having been calmly told by Cap
tain Martin that there w_as_no_hope-lek a
remarkable — apirit of resignation came over
them, at once. there was no . screaming .or
n
shrieking by women or men, o rushing on
deck or frantic . cries. All calmly resorted to
the saloon, where Rev. Mr. Draper, one of
the passengers prayed aloud, and exhorted
the unhappy creatures by whom he was sur
rounded. Dismay was present to every heart,
but disorder to none. Mothers were' weep
ing sadly over the little ones about, with
them, to be engulphed, and the children ig
norant of their coming death, were pitifully
inquiring the cause of so much woe. Friends
were taking leave of friends, as if preparing
for a long journey; others were crouched
down with Bibles in their hands, endeavor
' 6 to-snatch-consolation-from-passages — lo c ,
known or long neglected. incredible, we
are told, was the composure which, under
such eiretturstartoes f reined around. Ca "
tain Martin stationed' himself in the poop,
going occasionally forward or into the sa
loon; but to none could he offei a word of
comfort by telling them that their safety was
even probable. He soinea now and then for
a few moments in the public devotions, but
Iris place to the last was on the deck.
Abotit two o'clock in the afternoon, the
water-gaining fast on the ship and no signs
of the storm subsiding being 'apparent, a
small band of men determined to trust them
selves to the mercy of the waves in a boat
rather than go•down without a struggle.—
Leaving the saloon, therefore, they got out
and lowered away the port cutter, into which
sixteen of the crew and three of the passen
gers succeeded in getting and in launching
her clear of the ship. These nineteen men
shouted for the captain to come with them,
but with that heroic courage which was his
chief characteristic, he declined to go with
them, saying : 'No, I will go down with the
passengers; but I wish you God speed and
safe to land.' The boat then pulled away,
tossing about helplessly on the crest of the
gigantic waves. Scarcely- had they gone
eighty yards, or been f ive minutes off the
deck, when the fine steamer,went down stern
foremost with her crew of human beings,
from whom one confused cry of helpless ter
ror arose, and all was silent forever.

At the opening of the Fisk Free Schools
for colored permits in Nashville, recently,
Governor Brownlow was one of the speakers.
The following Is an extract of his speech:
'But allow me, through friendship, to ad
vise you, my colored friends, for your good,
both young and old. Avail yourselves of all
occasions to learn to read the word - of God.
and then study it close and practice its holy
precepts. In all your intercourse in life, be
mild and prudent, and give no offens3 to your
former owners by either 'words or deeds.—
To you who are teachers, white teachers from
the North, male and female, be prudent, and
give no unnecessary offense to even rebels,
for they already hate you with a perfect ha.

draw his bayonets from this city, this color

more, if the Federal bayonets were all with
drawn from this State, a rebel mob would
drive me and this Legislature out of Nash

functionaries, and secret agents, may make
their flying visits through the South and re
tarn and report the South all right, all re
constructed, and all accepting the results of
the war.—Those of you who are green e

me for saying I don't believe one word of it.
The South is still rebellious, and the people
of this city and State, to a great extent, are
displeased with what you are doing now.—
Why, if the Saviour of men were to descend

A Word for Newspapers.
We clip the fellowing article from an ox.
change. It is true and we commend it to
every man who bas an interest where he rd
sides s
Nothing is more common than to hear
folks talk of what they pay for newspapers
for advertising &c., as so much given in
charity.
Newspapers by enhancing the value of
property in their neighborhood, and giving,
the localities in which they are published a
reputation abroad, benefit all such, particu
larly if they are merchants or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly of the mea•
ger sum they pay for their support. Be
sides, every public spirited citizen has a lau
dable pride in having, a paper of which he is
not ashamed, even if' he should pick it up in
New York or Washington.
A good looking thriving sheet helps to
sell property, gives character to the locality,
and in all respects is a desirable public con
venience.. If from any cause, the matter in
the local or editorial celumns should not be
quite up to your standard, do not cast it a
side and pronounce it of no account, until
you are satisfied that there has been no more
labor bestowed upon it , than has been paid
for. If you want a good readable sheet it must
not be supported in a spirit of' charity, eith
er, but because you fool a necessity to sup
port it. The local press is the "power •that
moves the people."
Manly courage, fortudo and self-denial,
will triumph over the greatest ills. The
storm will soon blow over, and the sun of•
prosperity again blazein the heavens with
cheerful effulgence; and then those wholiave
heldsout with indomitable .firmness, will be
prepared to reap theadvantages of the new
order of things, A stout heart will keep
the body vigorous, the health good, and
chase Away the blues;" while despondency
will wreck not only forturbut mind and
body also. All that the luckiest of us get
in the world is o u r—keeping.—our food,
clothes and living—at the best, and what

Popular Fallacies
That out door exercise before breakfast is
healthful. It is never so. And, from the
very nature of things is hurtful, especially
to persons of poor health; although the very
vigorous may practice it with impunity.—
In winter the body is easily chilled through
aria through unless the stomach has been for
-tifie-crwi th► a — good — warm — breakfastand - in
warm weather, miasmatic and malarious gas
es and emanations speedily act upon the
empty and weak stomach in a way to vitiate
the circulation, and in* ce fever and ague,
diarfhwa, and dymenteiy.. Entire families,
who have arranged 'to eat breakfast before
leaving the house and to take supper before
sundown,' have had a complete exemption
from fever and ague, while the whole com
munity around them was suffering from it
from having neglected these precautions.
That whatever lessens cough is "good"
for it, 'and, if persevered in, will cure it.—
On the, contrary, all coughs are soonest cur
ed by promoting and increasing them, be-,
cause nature endeavors by the cough to help
bring up'the phlegm and yellow matter which
is in the lungs, as the lungs cannot heal
while that matter is there. And as it can
not be got rid of without coughing, the more
coughing there is the 'sooner it is got rid of
—the sooner are the lungs cleared out for
the fuller and freer reception of .pure
which is their natural food. The only rem
edies which can do any good in coughs are
such as loosen the phlegm,, and thus less
cough is required to bring it up. These re
medies are warmth, outdoor' exercise, and
anything which slightly nauseates.
The old Methodist circuit riders were very
plain, blunt, earnest men. Many years ago
old Brother 1:1-, was preachinn. ° in the
Methodist Church in our villiage . One of
his auditors, a very worthy young man, had
purchased a music-box and placed it in his
coat-pocket just as he started for church..--
Unfortunately the instrument was not in
good order, and would sometim'es stop before
it run down, and then a alight jar would set
it -
going again.
Old Brother was preaching a
way, in no very low, tone of voice, when. our
musical friend struck his coat-tail against
the seat as he changed position, and away
started the mnsic;hox, grinding out'that un
methodistic tune "Pop goes the weasel."—
Its owner, nearly mortified to death, clutch
ed his coat-tail with both hands, and tried
"to choke it into Silence. , .Finding he could
not atop it, by any means, he rushed for the
door. The old preacher not comprehending
the situation, yelled' after him, "Young man,
you'll make another kind of music in anoth
er world if you don't repent.

IEATEI OF Tint I `OLDEST
---,The, oldest inhabitant'of this part of the
country, and probably : the ()iciest person in
Pennsylvania, died on Sunday morning, the
24th. of December, , Bork

rather Patty Barefoot, as she was familiarly
known for the last three quarters of a centu
ry. She was bbrn in Amity township, Berke
Co., on the 15th of February, 175 g, and at
the time of her decease was one hundred and
Biz years, nine months and nine days old.—
Thanaufes of her parents were, Ratnuel and
can Bareroot , two of the early settlers of
Amity township. In the church register of
the Morlattin Episcopal Church at Bought:-
villa, we find a record ofPatty's - baptism, by
Rev Alekander Murray, an English Mission
. ry, and at the time pastor of the congrega
tions there. The baptism took place on the
nth of September, 1778, when she was in.
her 20th year.—Pothrown Ledger.
THE Loss or THE) SOUL —What—if it be
lawful to indulge such a thought—what
would be the funeral obsequies of a lost soul?
Whereshall_we find_the tears St to be wept
at such a spectacle? or could we realize the
calamity in all its extent, what tokens, of
commiseration and concern would be deemed
equal to the. occasion? Would it suffice for
the sun to veil his light, and the moon her
brightness? to cover the ocean with mourn
ing, and the. heavens with sackcloth? Or,
were the whole fabric of nature to become
animated and vocal, would it be possible for
her to utter a groan too deep, or a cry too
piercing to express the magnitude and ex
tent of such u catastrophe—Robert Hall.,
LITTLE Turwas.—Springs are lit tie things ,
but they are sources of . large streams; a helm
is a little thing, but it governs the - course of
a ship; a bridle-bit is a little thing, but ace
its use and powers; nails and pegs 'are little
things, but they hold the parts of large build
ings together; a word, a look, a smile,
frown, are all little things. but powerful for
good or evil. Think of this, and mind the
little things. Pay that little debt; it is a
promise, redeem it—it is a shilling, hand it
over; you know not what important• events
hang upon it. Keep your word sacredly....
keep it to children; they Will mark it sooner
thm any One else; airrthe 'effects will prob.
ably be as lasting.• as life.• • Mind the little
things. , .
MONEY.—Meo Work 'for it, fight for it,
beg for itpsteal for it, starve for it, and die
for it. , And all the while, from.. the cradle
to the rave, nature.aud God are thundering
in our ears the solemn question—" What
shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" This mad
ness for money is the strongest and lowest of
the passions; it is' the insatiate Moloch of
the human heart, before whose remorseless
altar all the finer attributes .of humanity are
sacrificed. It makes merchandise of all that
blamed in human affections, and even traf
fics •in the awful solemnities of the eternal.
SHUT !out MOVTH.—We heard a lid, in
anger, use this expression to another, • It
was not very bad adviee;though given some.
what roughly.
When we hear some of our mincing miss
es singing, pow away np ; and now away down,
tossing,their beads acid rolling their eyes, we
think, well, miss,. if, you knew what 'folks
thought - Of you,'you'd shut your mouth. '
We have seewmany men ruined because
they did not knowhow.to shut their. ,mouth
when tempted to say 'Yes' to a bad business.
When we see a man standing before• the
bar just ready to drink, We think, Ah ! my
fiue fellow, if, you would but keep your
Mouth shut before that bar, you will, byend
by, :find yourself before a Bar where. it will
be shut' tight:enough.
}Vile? ,Wo hear a fine lady 'molding till
every reonirings, or tattling from house to
house, or seandal•mongering, we think, Ah,
young lady, with all your sohoolina you
never learned to shut your mouth.-7;lenry
