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.

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 signify great power of character, 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 ward character. Fine dark brown hair, signifies the combination of exquisite sensibilities with great strength of character. Flat, cling ing, straight hair, a melancholy 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 id couutenance. denote the highest order of sentiment and intensity of feeling, purity of character, with the highest capacity for enjoyment or suffering. Straight, even, smooth and glossy hair denote strength, harmony, evenness oi character, hearty affections, a clear head, and superior talents Fine, ! silky, supple hair is the mark of a ide'icate and sensitive temperament, and speak in favor of the mind and character of the owner.

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.

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 lars von paid for your own old ; iron trash !” The Governor wili ' ed—lie was sold by his own wife.
