And now, to thee, lair village, dear nursling of the hills, The pleasant walks, ’mid shady groves, and ripiing crystal rills, Thy gardens sweet, and orchards rare, and birds that sweetly sing. And nature's erery behhson, an offering I would bring. Old Cassville, in thy early days, the Indian of the wood, Amid thy tall and stately oaks, in buckskin garments stood ; By nature, they were savages, but ’iw'as not by their hands—• Dear Cassville stands a monument of far more savage hands. Thou wert a place of quietude and sweet do mos.ic joys, Outstanding on the noble hills, were schools for girls and boys ; And no mean paltroon trained the thoughts, but sages true and sound— Taught the young idea how to shoot, in science most profound. Nor were they strict to bind the feet, Or hands, when tasks were done; But to the mill, or to the cave, or to thy banks Tworun, Full many a happy happy day, your.g men and maidens fair, Have whiled the fleeting hours away, ir. joyous passtime there. And on that blessed holy day, when the church going bell. Resounding o’er the echoing hills, and through the fertile dells, And thronging groups came wending on, adown each crowded street, To mingle in the solemn prayer, or join in praises sweet. And when the man of God arose, to bless the waiting crowd, And when to God, high over all, in humble prayer, he bowed In holy trust and godly fear, the waiting mass stood still, To hear the holy lessons taught, and learn their Master’s will. E’en thus it was in bygone days, when hopes ttefe bright and fair; But now the lyre has changed its note, the minstrel changed his air, The wind in whispering murmurs creep around the ruined walls; And owls and hats their vigils keep, amid those blackened halls. Sweet village, crowned with happiness, ere war, with blighting hand. Spread desolation dark and drear, athwart our lovely land ; Ere Sherman, with his Godless bands, of mixed and mingled breed, With wanton avarice, sword and brand, swept mountain, moor and mead. But hark ! from every mountain top, the trum pet note is heard } And springing from each cave and nook, with sword and pistol gird, Come stalwart men, and youths, and boys, all ready for the fray— And to he found at honor’s post, when came the fearful day. But oh! amid the clang of arms, and din of battle strife, llow many of those noble ones have passed away from life I For in each battle, lost or won, did Georgia take her part, As many orphan tears now tell, and widowed broken hearts. And thou, fair daughter of the hills, hath seen the foeman stand Amid thy streets, and pleasant walks, with reeking sword in hard; And thou Lath seer, thy homesteads laid in ashes at thy feet— The angels too, have marked the deed, and wait the vengeance meet. How oft., when winters dreary blast is sweeping o’er (he plain, I think of one bright happy home, shut in from storm and rain, And of the rose cheeked happy band, of chil dren as they go From house to house, to swell the crowd and frolic in the snow. But, what now are those happy homes the towering chimneys show — Outstanding monuments of shame, amid the trackless snow; And where, oh ! where, that gleesome band 1 as leaves of autumn, they Have scattered; some to distant lands, and some have passed away» Sad desolation marks the spot; but still as semble there A few— to share each other’s toil, or join in mutual cheer; Nor will they, as the years roll round, forget the appointed day, To strew with flowers, those warrior’s graves, from loved ones far away. And will you, as you strew them wide, save each a little flower For one lone grave we stood beside, in Au tumn’s twilight hour— That hour, so fraught with loneliness, ere night her curtains spread, YS’e laid our warrior down to rest, among the sleeping dead. Dear Armour, thou wert first of many Southern braves. Who, in that sacred burial ground, have filled their soldier graves i And though dread war and battle clang have rent the quivering a : r, Theu still has slept, as sweetly on, as though no foe were near. And Avhen the quiet evening spreads its stilly influence round, How sweet to linger out the day, upon the sa cred ground ; To close the eyes to dying earth, and look be yond the tomb— The joyous hope of meeting there, robs death of haif its gloom. Rut, Cassville, thou art what has been, and never more may be ; But be thy future what it will, my heart still clings to thee. ggy-A witty gentleman speaking of a friend who was prostrate by illness, remarked, that “he could hardly recov er, since his constitution was all gone.” •*Tf his constitution is all gone,” said a bystander, “1 do notsee how he lives at all.” “Oh*” responded *tlie wag, “lie lives on the hv-laws.” Drugs, Medicines, Chemicals, Pat.

It was night; silence reigned. Sud denly the SchulMopftr fancied he heard the tiny mallet which he used morning and evening to call the faithful to pray er* rising and falling in measured cadence. ‘That noise will not let me sleep,’ said he to his daughter, who also heard the siight tapping. ‘Some one m t he street must he and ving,’ said the girl, shuddering ; and suddenly she exclaimed, terrified : -Sckmah Is rael; it must be the rabbi !’ Just then the hammer was motionless; but without someone loudly knocked at the window, and a voire was heard shouting: ‘Awake! awake sand call the people to the synagogue ; thillim must be said, for the rabbi is dying !’ The silence of the night was broken by the three well-known raps that were heard at each door, and the daughter of the Schulk/opfcr trembled in everv limb as she heard her father’s steps sonorous ou the hard pavement as he hastily paccod front lIUUSt 1 f(? lIOIISP. When the s.itiml of the last rap died away, she thought: ‘Now the rabbi has expired !’ and she shed bitter tears. Rut the recital of l/iillim still held back the soul of the rabbi, though the shades of death that hovered around him were not dispelled. Towards dawn he was sinking fast, and his disciples were loud in their lamenta tions. They took wax and a wick ; measured the dying man, and then made a huge waxen taper of his height. This taper was wrapped in a shroud and carried to the cemetery, where it was lowered into a new-made grave. For all that, it seemed as though the same measurement were finally to be used to determine the size of the rabbi’s coffin. ‘Cheat Clod ! great God !■’ cried the disciples, ‘what shall we do to prevent his death ?’ ‘Come, let usgatMfr in years lor him, said one of them ? ‘perhaps our Father will hearken to our prayers.’ Then one of the youths went from house to house, carrying a paper on which the inmates were to write the number of years, months, or weeks of their own life whieh they would give towards lengthening that of the rabbi. The Schdklopfer's daughter was stand" ing at her door just as the young man passed by with his paper. ‘And you’ said he to the lass, ‘what will you give towards the rabbi’s days?’ ‘My life ! my whole life !’ sobbed the gh'l, ‘Shall it be wtitten thus?’ ‘Yes ; write, write !’ And the young man put down the words as they fell from her lips. From that moment the rabbi grew convalescent and soon recovered. On the morrow the corpse of a maiden was laid in the cemetery ; it was that of the Sdiulklopfer s daughter. The young girl had hesitated but lit tle when called upon to leave this earth, and the labbi knew not how to erase his own name from the book of life.— When in the early stages ot recovery he was overjoyed and in good spirits. Fie long he grew mournful and pallor blanched his cheek. None were aware of the cause of his darkening sadness. Nor was it known that, at the midnight hour, when the rabbi was seated at his desk studying the Gemara that lay open before him, be heard, rising from be low, a gently chanted song ; and that, whenever he opened the window, he held a maiden whose icy, death like smile shone through the veil of dark ness. ‘Now,’ thought the rabbi, -now she might be free and gladsome as the bird that flutters in mid air!’ And, amid the gloom, hot tears dampened the pages of the tome. Once, towards midnight, loud cries of anguish resounded from without— strange exclamations, such as are wrenched from a mortal by physical suflering. And, a few mnutes having elapsed, he heard the wailing of a new born child. ‘Curse upon me!’ exclaimed the rabbi, ‘’tis 1 robbed her of this joy!’ And every night he heard the w tiling of the child, ever and anon interrupted by a heavenly cradle-song; and the chant made him weep and weep again. Six times heard he the cries of pain ; then 3ounded the wail of the infant; and then the cradle-song once mare, and a pause. Again was a hymn of joy waft ed on the midnight breeze, as the rabbi thought: ‘Now her first child stands in the house of prayer and reads his portion and ’tis 1 that robbed her of her pride !’ Silense reigned again. Some years rolled away and once more the glad chauts resounded. The rabbi murmur ed. ‘Now she would have led a daughter tinder the nuptial canopy. Curse upon me, that robbed her of her joys !’ When the voice was heard again, there sounded neither laments nor sobs, but never a rapturous song. And the rabbi thought : She would have been a happy mother had I not destroyed her happiness!’ Thus did the rabbi live the life of the maiden. He would have given much to have hearkened, tl but once, to some NO. 44. bitter plaints in lieti of mirh hymns of bliss. He might ibeu have known that she would have learned the bit terness of earthly misfortune. But his prayer was never grant* and and he whis pered, drenching the Gemara with his tears ; ‘What! would she have been so hap py !’ And then belonged for death, for the vision made life hideous. Act death came not at his bidding, and he grew decrepid. The aged of the community were buried long before he, and tin* very beings whom in their childhood In* had blessed, came to him sad and n\r firm, shaking their crutches at Death, but dying away at last, lint he, he could not die ! ‘When will the hour strike,maiden- ? be often exclaimed ; ‘how long wuuJitet thou live ?’ A length, at midnight, a cry of agony awakened the slumberiog echoes ‘She is no more,’ said the rabbi, ‘God’s name he praised !' And when the gray dawn put to flight the shadows of darkness, his disci'pl-es found him, with head pillowed on tins Ciutuuu, ueact : Tfiat wicked Home'Journal says faJ'sn lips, made of pink Indiarubber, which are attached to thin lips in a manner which defies detection, and which give* a pietty pouting appearance to the mouth, are much wont by the New Ymti ladies. — Exc.
