•'Let nfross the river, and rest in the
shade olthe trees/’—Dyiug Words of
Stonewallackson.
A hero at Christian lay dying .
The friids in his chamber were hushed,
To his fat but calm breathing replying
Loir soi from their bosom that gushed.
Already i seemed with the angels,
So brigtly his pale features shone ;
They werehowing him—holy evangels—
Their hme, which would soon bo hi own
Thus, ere* was silent forever.
The laswords be uttered were these :
“Let u»c*»s,’’ said the hero, “toe river,
And retin the shade of the treer”
O’er field,freely fought mem’ry hovered,
He of the shade and the breeze ;
But visiotby angels discovered
Suggest'd the stream and the trees.
Though thnking of duties still, even
While dawing his last feeble breath,
Yet he epole of the life* trees of heaven
Beheld oer the river cf death.
Seeing lieaen—his home heoce forever,
With anjel-companions like these—
“ Let us erss,’’ said the hero, “the river.
And restin shade of the tree*.
Then follov his n ble example,
Till life »and its conflicts are o er ;
And like lis your reward shall be ample
When treading eternity’s shore.
Like him, all the wise and good, knowing
The i sue i« anguish or bliss.
Seek for peace in that blest world by doing
Tb# warfare of duty iu this.
D-ath’s cold and dark current can never
Have terrors for spirits like these ;

A gentleman wbo resides in Wilkvs coun
ty, and who was returning borne from Au
gusta on Thursday last entirely lost the
power of ipeech, soon after the train left
Augusta. We heard him attempting to
talk, soon after he got on the train, and 'in
a few moments he could not articulate a
word ! He was in the possession of all hie
othei faculties, but his lips were literally
sealed His distress was very touching;
wrote replies to questions addressed him by
th" pissengers, und tried to bear up under
the terrible visitation. He said he had been
on a spree. He hoped it was only a spe
cies of delirium, and would wear off with
rest and sleep. He said be bad once been
partially deprived of his spe cb before, for
a short time, in Virginia. His case attract
ed much attention among the passengers
several of whom knew him and were satis
fied that he was not using deception. .
His case was a mo«t forcible illustration
of the summary and terible manner in which
nature sometimes punishes a violation of
her laws; —Athens Banner.
A Chinese God Factory.
A Chines* god factory was visited by
the Rev. Mr. Allen, a Methodist missions,
ry and when he expressed his a tonii-bm-.nt
at the fsmilarity with which the workmen
in clay, treated the gods ar.d goddessess of
war. wealth, thunder, water, fire, mercy
and revenge, they, with the utmost santroid
repl ed that they were yet powerless, being
destitute of the ling or spirit, Those de
signed for toys, therefore are never endow
ed with that living spirit, m>r are the other*
until they are installed as reiging divini
ties At that time, however, they are po»-
sessed of the ling, by means of a small bol e
in tha center of the back, if they be dimin
utive : or a large, oblong one in the more
eugust, in which there are deposited pearls
gems, or some of the more precious metals,
as gold and silv. rof various estimations
Tb* bole is then closed and sealed, the god
perfected and henceforlh worshiped, *s well
by his maker* as those who are ignorant of
his origin. The tael will *l*o assist us to
account at least in part for the inconclastic
fury of the rebels. They wer* to despoil
and destroy them, not so much because
they loved the idols, but becsu** they loTed
the gold his back contained more.

Ooar.se black hair and dark si in

with a tendency to sexuality.—
Fine hair and dark skin indirale
strength of character, along with
purity and goodness. Stiff, straight
black hair and beard indicate a
coarse, strong, rigid, straight-for

hair, signifies the combination of
exquisite sensibilities with great
strength of character. Flat, cling

but extremely constant character.
Harsh, upright hair is the sign of
a reticent and sour spirit; a 3tub
born and harsh character. Coarse
red hair and whiskers indicate
powerful animal passions, togetbor
with a corresponding strength of
character. Auburn hair with flor

order of sentiment and intensity

the highest capacity for enjoyment

smooth and glossy hair denote

The New Bonnet.
A tor Gov. Gilmer, of Georgia,
returned from office, he went to lr*
old home in Lexingtou. He had a
penchant for old irons, such as
plough-shares, old carriage irons,
grindstone cranks, old shovels, and
the odds and' ends of plantation
tools. Attending the sales of es"
:ates, he accumulated an ox-cart
load or two o such stuff, which he
dumped down in a corner o his
yard uear bis dwelling, very much
to the annoyance o!‘his wite. The
pile kept increasing. She deter-,
mined to make away wit” it and
one dav (sheriffs sale day) scut it
to the court yard (with the knowN
edge of the sheriff, who loved a
joke.) to be sold to the highest bid
der Governor Gilmot that morn"
ing rode out of town a mi If o> iw y o,

was proceeding wiih his sal s-
Catching the eye of the Govo no ,
who was looking O’, he pointed
out to him the lot of old iren and
requested him to make a lid for
them- 1 Good,’’ said Governor GiN
mer, “I will; I have some pieces at
home that will match I
bid ten dollars for them.’ ‘‘Ton
dollars! ten dollars!'' repeated tbo
sheriff—(nobody bids more) “ I bey
are yours, Governor.' Delighted
with the purchase, he paid ten dol"
lars and left them in the yard tor
utnre movement. The sheriff paid
the ten dollars to Mrs. Gilmer. In
! a few days she bought a handsome
‘bonnot, aud the .overnor, admir
ling it very much, said: “Aly dear,
i where did you get that pretty bon"
net? It is beautiful and becomes
you.” “Doa’t it husband, don’t
it! I bought it with the tea dol

But time cured the chagrin, and

’! to join in the laugh at his expense
I over this little incident.
