THE OLD nOHESTEAD.
BT I.KOLA.
I've eoine once more my chlldliood'B home,
To ramlde o'er thy grand old hills;
To breathe the perfume of the flowers,
That bloom bcsldo the sparkling rills.
How cherished oaoh familiar spot
Yon shadowy vale and moss-wove grot.
No sun has ever shone so clear
As that sweet Hellwood, shining here !
The sylvan meadow sloping down
Towards the fern-encircled spring,
W here oft I quailed the crystal fount,
Ami made of oaken boughs aswing.
Each distant Held of emerald hue,
Each winding walk, each stretching vie
All tell n tale of childhood days,
Their sunny dreams, their mirthful play
t >!». tell me, murmuring waters low.
Where arc the irfends of other years;
Who smiled with us at festive hoard
And wept with us the mourner s tears?
One by one their forms depart.
Leaving here an aching heart.
.Some are living o'er the wave,
Others sleeping In the grave !
in yonder grave our loved ones lie,
Where oft as evening shinleH decllno,
'Tisswept ’mid fragrant flowers to kneol
The widow's and the orphan's shrine.
Ah, here, methinks no tearful storm
< )r evil spirit, e'er could harm.
Then wonder not that all is here,
So sacred to my heart, so dear.
And must the Cypress ever wave,
I air Bcllwood, o’er these cherished haunts,
Shall wildwood nyrnpli and minstrel fay
llencath the hawthorne no more dance ?
Shall the harp that hung amid thy bowers
Hive birth no more a peaceful strain,
And sadness linger o'er the flowers
That gayly bloom on hill and plain?
What though tho Fates had sadly flung
O'er all t hese scenes a shade of woe,
And blood-stained hand have torn away
The halcyon joys of Long Ago.
Tho" mellowed is the light that falls
O’er latticed porch and pictured walla,
Thou art still beautlinl to me,
No other spot so dear as tiiec !
'Twas here the summer roses bloomed
First on my childhood's wondering sight;
'Twas hero my soul was taught to love
The good, the beautiful, the bright;
Arid time can never fade away
The glittering hues of life’s young day,
Nor grid, or pleasure from me hear
The memory of my Mother's prayer !

COUSIN SALLY DILLARD. j
A STOSS' THAT MUST NOT DIB
“ Cousin Bally Dillard” was written by
Hamilton C. Jones, of North Carolina,
nearly half a century ago, and the public
can enjoy a hearty laugh over its exquisite
ridiculousness at least once a year, It
purports to be a report of the testimony
of a witness in a case before one of the
courts of that State, and is as follows ;
A beardless disciple of Themis rises and
thus addresses the court: “ May it please
your worship and you gentlemen of the
jury, since it has been my fortune (good
or bad, I will not say,) to exercise in le
gal disquisition, it Las never befallen rue
to be obliged to prosecute so direfuUy
marked an assault. A more willful, vio
lent and dangerous battery, and finally a
more diabolical breach of the peace, has
seldom ever happened in a civilized coun
try, and I dare say it seldom ha3 been
your duty to pass npon one so shocking to
benevolent feelings as this which took
place over at Capt. Rice’s in this county;
but you will hear from the witnesses.”
The witnesses being sworn, two or three
were examined and deposed: One said
that he heard the noise, but did not see
the fight; another that he saw the row,
but did not know who struck first, another
that he was very drunk and couldn't say
much about the skrimmage.
Lawyer Chops.—l am sorry, gentlemen,
to have occupied your time with the stu
pidity of the witnesses examined. It arises,
gentlemen, altogether from a misappre
hension on my part. Had I known as 1
do, that I had a witness who was acquain
ted with all the circumstances of the case,
and who was aide to make himself under
stood to the eonrt and jury, I should not
have trespassed so long on your patience.
Come forward, Mr. Harris and be sworn.
Bo forward comes the witness, a fat,
cliuffy old man, a “leetle” corned, and
took his oath with an air.
Chops.—Harris, we wish you to tell us
about the riot that happened the other day
at Captain Rice’s, and as a good deal of
time has already been wasted in circumlo-
cution, wo wish you to bo compenduoiis,
at tho same time as explicit as possible.
Harris—Adzackly, (giving the lawyer a
a knowing wink, at the same time clearing
his throat) Capt. Rice he gin a treat, and
cousin Bally Dillard she comes over to my
house and axed me if my wife she moutn't
go? I told cousin Bally Dillard my wife
was poorly being as now she had a touch
of rheumatism in the hip, and the big
swamp was up in the road, there having
been a great deal of rain lately, but how
soever, as it was she, cousin Bally Dillard,
my wife she mout go. Well cousin Sally
Dillard then axed me if Mose he moutn’t
go? I told cousin Bally Dillard that he
was the foreman of the crap, and the crap
was smartly in the grass, but howsoever,
as it was she, cousin Bally Dillard, Mose
he mout go.
Chops.—ln tho name of common sense,
Mr. Harris, what do you mean by this rig
marole?
Witness.—-Capt. llice he gin a treat, and
cousin Bally Dillard, she came over to my
house and axed me if my wife she moutn’t
go? and I told cousin Bally Dillard—
Chops.—Stop if you please; we don’t
want to hear about your cousiu Sally Dil
lard or your wife; tell us about the fight
at Rice’s.
Witness.—Well, I will sir, if you will
let me.
Chops.—Well, sir, go on.
Witness.—Well sir, Captain Rico he gin
ujreat, and cousin Bally Dillard slio came
over to my house and axed me if my wife
slie moun t go—
Chops.-—Here it is again. Witness
please to stop.
Witness—Well, sir, what do you want?
Chops —We want to know about the
fight, and you must not proceed in lliis
impertinent story. Do you know anything
about the matter before the court ?
Witness—To be sure I do.
Chops—Well, go ou then, and tell it,
and nothing else.
Witness —Well, Capt. Rice, he gin a
treat —
Chops—Thu; is intolerable. May it
please the court, I move that the prisoner
be committed for contempt. He seems to
be trifling with the court.
Court —Witness, you are before a court of
justice, and unless you behave yourself iu
a more becoming manner you will he sent
to jail; so begin and tell me what you
know about the fight at Rice’s.
Witness —Well, gentlemen, Capt. ltice
he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillard-
Court—(After deliberating.) Mr. At
torney, the court is of the opinion that
we may save time by letting the witness
fro on in hin own way. Proeond, \Tr.
Harris, with your story, but stick to tlie
point.
Witness—Yes, gentlemen. Well, Capt.
Rice, he gin a treat, and cousin Bally Dil
lard come over to our house and axed me
if my wife she moutn’t go ? I told cousin
Bally Dillard that my wife she was poorly,
being as how she had the rheumatics in
her hip ; and the big swamp was up; how
soever, as it was she, cousin Saliy Dillard,
my wife sho mout go. Well, cousin Bally
Dillard then axed me if Mose ho moutn’t
go. I told cousiu Sally Dillard as how
Mose was the foreman of the crap, and
the crap was smartly in grass, but how
soever, as it was sho, cousin Bally Dillard,
Mose he mout go. So they goes ou to
gether, Mose, my wife and cousin Bally
Dillard, and they come to tho big swamp,
and it was up as I was telling yon; lint
being as how there was a big iog across
the lug swamp, cousin Sally Dillard and
Mose, like genteel folks, they walked the
log, but my wife, like a darned fool,
hoisted her coats and waded through.
Chops—Heavens and earth, this is bad;
but go ou.
Witness— Well, that’s all I know about
the fight.
