MY AIN COUNTREE.
Tne following exquisite poem appeared in the
New York Observer. It may also be found in
the Lyra Ccelestis, recently published by Gould
& Lincoln. The lady author has shown skill to
touch the delicate chords of religious thought and
feeling:
I’m far frae my haxne, an’ I’m weary aften
whiles •
For the langed-for hame-bringmg, and my
Father’s welcome smiles;
141 ne’er be fu' content until my een do see
The gowden gates o’ Heaven, an’ my ain coun
tree.
The earth is flecked wi’ flowers, mony-tinted,
fresh and gay.
The birdies warbled blithely, for my Father made
themsae:
But these sights an’ these soun’s will as naething
be to me
When I hear the angels singing in my ain coun
tree.
I’ve His gude word o’ promise, that some glad
some day the King
To His ain royal palace His banished aneswill
bring;
Wi’ een an’ wi’ hearts running ower we shall
see
The King in His beauty, in our ain countree.
My sins hae been money, an’ my sorrows hae
been sair.
But there they’ll never vex me nor be remember
ed mair;
Bis oluid hath made me white, His hand shall
dry mine ee\
When He brings me hame at last to my ain
countree.
Like a bairn to its mither, a wee birdie to its
nest,
I wad fain be ganging noo unto my Saviour’s
breast;
For He gathers in His besom witless, worthless
lambs like me,
An’ carries them Himsel’ to His ain countree.
He’s faithfu’ that hath promised; He’ll surely
come again;
He’ll keep His tryst wi’ me, at what hour I dinna
ken ;
But he bids me still to watch, an’ready aye to be,
Po gang at any moment to my ain countree.
So I’na watching aye, an’ singing o’ my hanie as
I wait
For the sounding o’ His footfa’ this side the
k € vden gate,
God gie His grace to ilka ane wha listen noo to
me, ,
That we a’ may gang in gladness to our ain
countree.
PARTING DAY.
The sunset burns, the hamlet spire'
Gleams grandly, sheathed in evening fire.
The river rolletn red.
The flowers are drenched in floating haze,
The churchyard brightens, and old days
Seem smiling on the dead.
From pendent boughs, like drops of gold,
The peaches hang; the mansion old,
From out its nest of green,
joyful through its golden eyes
Back on the sunset*burnished skies
A smile o’er all the soene.
The running child, whose wavy hair f
Takes from the sunset’s level glare h
A purer, brighter tinge, *
Bolls on the grass; the evening star
Above yon streak of cloudy bar
Hangs on Day’s purple fringe.
When latest sunshine slanting falls,
Above the ivied orchaid walls,
The tall tree-shadows lean,
In waving lines of shade, that nod
Like dusky streams across the road.
With banks of light between.
The streams are gilt, the towering vane
Stands burnished; and the cottage pane
Seems melting in the sun;
The last lark wavers down the skv,
The husky crow slides careless by
The golden day is done.
An old lady, not remarkable for the
clearness of her idea?, describing a fine
summer evening, said : “It was a beauti
ful bright night; the moon made every
thing as light as a feather.”
‘■Jim, I believe Sambo has got no
truth in him.” “You don’t knew; dere’s
more truth in dat nigger dan all de rest
on de plantation.” “How do you make
dat ?” “Why, he neber lets any out.”

THE AMERICAN HAY AND COTTON
PKE66 CO. MANUFACTORY.
Corner of Grove and North Third ete ,
• Jersey City.
OFFICE,
No. 113 Wall-st., New York.
GOVE’S PATENT.
The attention of all parties interested in the
pressing or compressing of Hay, Cotton, Hkmp,
Wool, Raos, Hops, or any other article required to
be baled for Transportation, Storage or Consump
tion, is respectfully solicited, to the PORTABLE
or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by
this Company, under the superintendence of the
Patentee, Mr. John H. Gove
The Press is very simple in its construction, re
quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, and
can be operated by any known power, s ich as
Steam, Water, Horse or Hand. In using Horse
power but one horse is required, the Press being
so mechanically constructed on a well-known
principle that. the power increases in a greater
ratio than the increasing resistance.
The advantages of this Press over all others
are as follows, viz;
Ist. It can press 20 per cent, more material in
a given space.
2d. It can do the work in 33 per ceni.less time.
3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power.
4th. It turns out the best shaped bale for hand
ling or rolling.
sth. The Press will last a life-time, the work
ing parts being built of the best of iron, and not
liable to get out of order.
The ordinary work of this machine will press
in one operation (after once filling the box of the
No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 45(fibs, weight in
IPP“Two Minutes.
Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of
Hay a day.
Four men without the aid of a horse, or any
power except that contained in the '"’ress, can
turn out a bale of hay 27 inches square by 46 inch
es long, weighing 460 lbs , or 23 1-2 lbs. to the cu
bic foot.
No toggle joints, screws, cog-wheels, beaters
or rollers used in this Press.
, n^ e attention of Cotton factors and planters,
Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially called to
this Press, destined as it is to work a complete
revolution in the now slow, clumsy and exnen
sive method of baling. ‘ *
The Company will dispose of Town, County or
bi.ate rights (reserving to themselves only the
nghc to manufacture) on reasonable terms.
Mr. N. D. Fisher is the authorized Traveling
Agent for the Company in the Eastern and
die States.

No. 14. j
The Major General Commanding bein<p com
pelled by wounds to relinquish, for tue present,
the. command of the Department, takes this op
portunity to express to the officers and men of
the Coast Division, under Brigadier General John
P. Hatch, his approbation of their good conduct
quring the operations on the line of the Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad, since November
last. . *
At the battle of Honey Hill, on November 30th,
although unsuccessful in the attempt to drive the
enemy from his forts, the Division still maintain
ed the fight with unwavering steadiness during
the day, and-retired from the field after nightM
in good order and nnpursued. Their losses attest
alike their courage and discipline.
At Dveeaux’ Neck, near the Coosawhatchie
turnpike, on December 6th, the advance, in num
ber much inferioi to the opposing force, met the
rebels in an open field, and drove them from the
ground, captured one flag, forced them to seek
safety in flight, leaving their dead and wounded
in our hands, and thus occupied a position from
which the Railroad was under the easy fire of
pur guns.
On December 9th the skirmish line forced its
way to within a few yards of the Railroad and
the forts which guarded it, remaining there
under a most galling fire until an opening had
been cut through the woods between our bat
teries and the road, and thus perfected the work
so gallantly begun upon the 6th.
The Division has obeyed all orders promptly
and cheerfully, and since its co-operative move
ments with General Sherman’s Army, has vig
ilantly watched the enemy at its front, has •
promptly seized each fortified position upon the
first indication of a proposed, withdrawal on the
part of the rebels, and has thus inspired the
Commanding General with the belief that it will
continue to do faithfully and well the work allot
ted to it in the great campaign which is being
prosecuted in South Carolina.
To Brigadier Generals Hatch and Potter, who
have commanded this force, and to all the gallant
officers and men under them, the Mjsjor General
Commanding tenders his thanks for the past,
and his earnest wishes for their continued suc
cess.
