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.” Y^r anted!

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. For further particulars send for circulars Jan.SO lmo • QUANO. ’ GECX E.

C , Feb. 7,1865. ’ General Orders. > 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.
