Tis come—ihe hour we so much prize; For at this hour, so calm, so sweet, We are away the Spring to greet Our ride must he beneath the trees, The fragrant pines, where the sea breeze Is whispering, with it’s sad tone, (Caught from the Ocean’s surging moan) Strange stories to the leaves on high, To flowers that bathed in sunshine lie. And to the clusters of the vine, It’s grapes all purpling with rich wine. The birds with songs would cheer us As on the boughs they warble near us, And all the air with music fill, Dork grow the woods, and denser still. Ah! who, near these dark shades, would dream That such bright waters gush and gleam, And with their radiant treasures beam. Near the banks magnolias grow With foliage bright and flowers of snow; The sunbeams pierce the arching shades, And stream through the green arcades, Changing with their magic gleams The clear waters beneath us rolled. From silver to rich burnished gold. Oh! lancy with thy colors gay Come hither, and assist my lay! ! who guide the maze of song, To whom all science and arts belong— But all! why hope the unknowu mute Will deign to list! I cannot choose Between tho nine and memory Who comes, with eager step to me Hosting from Lathean banks away, And she ninst help my feeble lay. On the waves of this great spring Wc glide, our bark a frail slight thing; But little we recked of this when there Amid a scene so wondrous fair; \nd when wc gazed, with wild delight, Down through the waters clear and bright; And saw the fish playing u hide and seek ” With many a glccsorao plunge and leap; While far beneath those waters deep Glittered the rich mosaic floor, Ah! who could dream of danger more? On, on our bark serenely glides While rainbows tremble ’round her sides. Each tree, branch and leaf below With rainbow colors seem to glow; All things in brightest hues arrayed— Now gold, then blue, now light, then shade. Wo seemed suspended in mid air, The wave so clear, the sky so fair— fancy, from the thirst and heat Of the long chase, this cool retreat The red chief ol the forest sought, And when the feast was o’er, ho taught His warriors brave the bow to shoot, Or his great skill, from herb and root, rhe juice to press, for the healing art, Or the rank poison for the dart In days long past the shrill war song Echoed these lonely hanks along, Wakiugthc white crane's answering cries As, startled, to the wood lie Hies. , Then to slake his thirst, came the deer Of graceful form and eye so clear, Then bounding to the woods away He hides him from the solar ray. Now deep silence reigns around; Naught breaks it, save the sound Made I'.y the dipping of the oar Of our light bark, as on wc row. Each heart thrills deeply in this hour, And worships Him whose matchless power Made this bright gem, and set it here; Its beauty these lone wilds to cheer. One, who had heard of this great Spring, Said, (ns did Shjcba to the king. Blazing in purple, gems and gold) To me the half has not been told Yea* language is too weak cold These rainbow beauties to display, Or all their dazzling hues portray. And now to make the scene complete (As fables tell) a mermaid sweet, With snowy arms, and streaming curls Wreathed with sea liowers and white pearls, Should glide this limpid spring along To charm us with her syren song; Perchance the strain may lull to sleep Yon scaly monster of the deep. But wc must go ” tho* loth to leave This spot, where my light rhymes reave. Oh! 1 could forever dwell Near this bright spring and sweet dell; And, tho* the vision fades away, Yet this great Spring, this radiant day Shall hang on memory's walls for aye. Wiiy Siie Planted Roses.—a blacksmith had in his possession, but under mortgage, a house and piece of land. He was oucc fond of the social glass, but was happily induced to joiu tho temperance society. About three months after he observed his wife one morning busily employed planting rose bushes and fruit treea. “ Mary,’* said he, 44 1 have owned this cot for five years, and yet I have never known you before to care to improve and ornament it in this man* ncr.*’ “Indeed, replied the smiling wife, “I had no heart to do it until you gave up drink. I had often thought of it before, hut I was persuaded that should I do it, some strangers would pluck the roses and cat tbe fruit, but now, with God’s help and biessing, this cot will he ours, and we and our children may expect to enjoy the pro duce. We shall pluck tho rose and eat the fruit” Interesting to the Ladies. LATEST STYLES IN SILKS, COLOHS, ETC. Silks for the fall, says Harper’s Ba zar, are soft groe grains of medium flue reps, with brighter lustre than those of last year. The cloth colors now in vogue arc again brought out in deep hues so nearly approaching black that they are well named “ in visibles.” Conspicuous among silk importations are the great qualities of dark blue shades; summer linens, with cashmere, camel’s hair and other fine wool fabrics, have become »o pop ular in these hues that it is prophesied dark blue silk suits will find special fa vor as winter costumes; and, by way of further commendation, merchants say these French blues are equally becoming to blondes and brunetts.— The nowest fancy for arranging BASHES worn with evening dresses is to drape them in a half circle in front, letting them swing low around the edge of the over-skirt apron; they ore thou caught up to the waist on each side and tied in a long loose bow, with hanging ends on the left. Watered ribbon sashes draped in this wav are admired for muslin dresses, and gar lands of flowers arc similarly arranged. Velvet sashes arc rather heavy for this style, but are worn nevertheless. Instead of neckties with rutfs A CRAVAT nOW with very long ends is worn in front, and is preferred to a brooch. This is a simple bow of black velvet ribbon or of colored gros grain ribbon, two inches wide, with ends a yard long hanging straight down in front The black velvet bows are worn with light dresses, while colored bows brighten black costumes. Auotber fancy is to wear a bow of China crape high on tho left side of the ruff instead of in front. Pretty little tri-color clusters of rose buds are worn in the same way on af ternoon dresses, and are especially pretty with black grenadine and white muslin toilettes. Ladies are also wearing tiny bouquets of natural, loose cut flowers stuck in the belt, or else in the bnttonholc of the double- breasted polonaises, precisely as gen tlemen wear their button-hole bou quets. * SHORT UMBRELLAS arc worn stuck iu the belt like a dag- jer, protruding behind and before in an incouvenieut way, not nearly as graceful as the fashion of hanging an umbrella by a chatelaine. This i9, however, a ’part of the “ grasshopper bend,” a summer folly introduced at Saratoga, where the absurd Grecian bend first appeared. A Hundred Tons of Gold Coin. The New York Sun chronicles at length the arrival of four tons of gold coin on Tuesday last, from the Sub’ treasury of San Francisco to the Sub treasury in New York. It was pack ed in twelve iron chests and was guarded by nine armed men. Tho gold consisted of one hundred bags ot double eagles, each containing $20,000 and on its receipt at the Treasury each bag wits emptied and coutcuts weighed. One million of the sum was in coin fresh from the San Francisco mint. The Sun says at the close of the busi ness on Tuesday the balance of gold coin in the Now York Subtreasury was $48,522,04879,—equal in weight to about one hundred tons. In addi tion to this, the same depository con tained ten million dollars in gold bars —8400,000 in silver coin and $32,000,- 000 iu paper currency. There are two treasure chambers on diflerrent sides of the main door in the Subtreasury. Each has walls of mas sive stone eight feet thick, built in two parallel sections. The intermediate space is filled with boxes of chilled iron packed with balls of the same materi al about an inch in diameter. These will turn the most powerful drill ‘ever employed by burglars. The floor is covered with iron plates and solid ma sonry, which extends thirty feet below the surface of the sidewalks. These doors weigh about two and a'half tons each. The chambers arc divided into iron copartments. In tho west side chamber the gold is deposited, each coparlmcnt containing $500,000 when tilled.—The gold is packed in smell canvass bags. The Kind of WosIen to Marry. —Rev. H. Henderson's Louisville Lecture.—The lecture closed with some advice to young men. They must eliminate from their idea of women all her false adornment. Think her a plain dress of muslin—minus her rats and mice, panniers and frizes, seated at the breakfast table. May you succeed in getting a true girl for a wife, full of womanly sweetness, one that will look as well at tbe breakfast table ns when she bewitched you with the arts of toiletto; one who will not demand a carriago when you need a cart; one that will not require a man sion when you have only a cottage to offer; one that will be satisfied with plain dresses when you cannot afford brocades; one that will entertain your friends on a dollar when you cannot afford a banquet; one that will plant flowers in your yard and insist on you white washing the fence; one that will be to you the ornament, pride and magnet of that dearest place on earth —“ Home, sweet home.’* Twenty Thousand Letters Opened. The corruption that pervades every branch of the civil service is becoming monotonous. We would like a change if only for variety’s sake. Among the recent developments are the'system atic and long continued embezzle ments of Brice McLellan, until re cently chief postal clerk between New York and Washington. CoL Forney’s Philadelphia Press—one of the most loyal kind—states that his thefts amount to $40,000. ne stole this con siderable sum, says the Press, in sums ot over $2 or $3 each, from letters Bent by Southern subscribers to Northern publishers. Some 15,000 or 20,000 subscribers to Northern papers and magazines are therefore, notified to remit again if they find that they can- noL get along without such intellectual food. There is nothing very strange in a robbery ot the mails—not by any means; but the vigorous way in which the thief was ferretted out and pun- ishment is what we admire. The Press says 44 he was peached upon by one of his accomplices, who still re tains his place in tho department.”— At the time of Jiis detection -for ho was never arrested—forty letters pur loined from the mails were found in his possession; and yet ho was allowed to resign, and for aught wc kuow, may be biding his time in some other branch of service for another chauco to raise a stake. This is quite in ac cordance with the official spirit of the times. Tue truth compels us to add, however, that there were extra and extenuating circumstances iu his fa vor; he stole the money from Southern people, who have no rights that the truly loil are bound to respect; and secondly, his father had once been an Assistant Postmaster-General. One thief is allowed to resign, but his accomplice still has charge of the Southern mails! Send on your money, gentlemen; the rnaiis are safe. Don’t grumble because your Northern jour nals do uot come, but keep on remit ting until a remittance happens to slip by the thieves, and you arc ouce more made happy by the sight of the dearly loved papers aud magazines.— Atlanta Constitution. Not Heady to Die. The following is no fabrication of an irreverent secular journal, but from the orthodox Memphis Presbyterian: 44 Traveling in his buggy alone, not long ago; in going to one of his ap pointments, ono of our good brethren in the Presbytery of Memphis, over- took a 44 foot pad,” with his carpet bag in his hand. The roads were muddy, and lie was just at tho tiino about entering a miry bottom. With the politeness for which he is noted, he asked the pedestrian, who was an entire Granger, if he would not take a soat*in his buggy until, at least, they had crossed the mud and tho mire.— The invitation was readily accepted, aud the conversation for a time was free and easy, about things ordinary and general. Presently, however, the good brother, with a view to make the conversation profitable, asked the stranger if he was ready to die? Not knowing the character of the person who had invited him to a seat with, and misapprehending his meaning, and suspecting foul play, he waited not to reply, but sprang from the bug gy immediately, and ran for life through slush aud water. The cleri- ical brother, wishing to assure the strauger that he meant no harm, called to him at the top of his voice to stop! But this only hastened speed, and, like a scared hare, he ran until lie got beyond hearing and sight. In his hasty flight he left his carpet sack, which our brother now has iu his pos session, being the richer for his faith fulue»a by the addition ot a coarse shirt, a pair of threadbare trousers, and a little 4i 'backer.” Nothing Like a Trade.—A re turn to the old plan of apprenticing bays is being advocated. The hosts of young men iu every large city who apply for employment and fail to get it, for the reason that they cannot truthfully afliim that they arc educated or specially fitted for any particular busmen, constitute a potent argument in favor of reform. Under the ap prentice system wc should have fewer ignorant mechanics and incompetent business men. A trade is half a man’s fortune. SheCnti Hit Hair. You can aiwaya tell a boy whose mother cuts his hair. Not because the edges of it look ajf it had been chaired off by an absOTf-mindcd horse; but vou tell it by the way he stops on the street and wriggles his shoulders. When a fond mother has to cat her boy’s hair, she is careful to guard against any annoyance and muss by laying a sheet on the carpet It has never yet occurred to her to sit him on a bare floor and put the sheet around his neck. Then she draws the front hair over his eyes, and leaves it there while she cuts that which is at the back. The hair which lies over his cs appears to be surcharged with e electric needles, and that which is silently dropping down under his shirt band appears to be on fire. She has unconciously continued to nush his head forward until his nose p^pteshis breast, and is too busily engaged to no tice the snuffling sound that is becom- dcsirc to blow his nose, but recollects that his handkerchief is in the other room. Then a fly lights on his nose, and docs it so unexpcctdcdly that he involuntarily dodges and catches the point of the shears iu his left ear. At this he commences to cry and wish he was a man. But his mother doesn’t notice him. Shu merely hits him on the other ear to inspire him with con fidence, and goes on with the work. When she is through, she holds his jacket collar back trom his neck, and with her mouth blow s the shprt bits of hair from the to;) of his head down his back. He calls her attention to this fact; but she looks for a new place on his head and hits him there, and asks him why he didu't use his handker chief. Then he takes his awfully dis figured head to the mirror and looks at it. and, young as he is, shudders ns he thinks of wnat the boys on the street will say. The Boy who Wauled to Kuow ••The following is strictly true. A lady coming coining to this State re cently stopped at one of tho Chicago hotels with her little son. The boy was not perfectly satisfied with mat ters and things at the diuncr table, and expressed himself frequently to that effect. The mother Anally rose and remarked, in an undertone, to the youthful offender, 4 * Conic with me up stairs, and I will attcud to your case.” The lad understood at oucc what “at tend to his case” meant, but there was an important matter of detail which lie was painfully anxious to have more fully explained; so, pulling backwards on the hand of his mother, he blubbered out, iu a voice loud enough to be heard over most of the well-tilled dining-room: “ Say, moth er, are you going to take your baud or your slipper?” Tho enthusiasm with which- this brief address was re ceived was unbounded. Poor little fellow, how often have wc wanted to know that same thing ourself? With a brief season of waiting wc gener ally found out, as he undoubtedly did. Fire at Pensacola.—A large fire occurred at Pensacola on the night of the 27th. of August, supposed to be the work of an iuccudiary. Glove Soto, Turton, Myerson, and Joe Col lins, were burned to the ground. Stocks all saved, except Myeraons, which is a total loss, hut covered by in surance. Buildings occupied by (3. L. LcBnron & Son , damaged; they have removed to rooms over Vallett’s con fectionery until repairs arc made. Books, papers, safe and everything saved; slight damage to office fixtures* Fully covered by insurance. Business uninterrupted. The largest clock in the world is in the House of Parlamcnt, London. It has four dials, each 24 feet in diame ter, and every 30 seconds the point ©f the minute-hand move nearly 7 inches. The dock will run eight and a half days, but it only strikes during seven and halfdays. It takes two hours to wind up the striking mechanism. The wheels are of cast-iron. The pendu lum is fifteen feet long and the hour bed 19 eight feet and nine feet m di ameter, and weighs nearly fifteen ton*. The bell hammer alone weighs more than fifteen hundred j»ounds. X.

Metalie Burial Catttt and Metalie Cat- kets. False Steps.—Those Southern editors who are so swift to abuse Mr. Davis for his White Sulphur speech, and so prompt to copy the btutal opin ions of the Northern press had better read the latest effusion of the Xc«r York Times. In that paper it is es sayed to be proved that Mr. Davis is not only a “traitor ’ but a thief. We arc thankful that no one Georgia pa per has yet truckled to the venomous crusade o! Radical policy, in this par ticular.—Constitution. A Green Bay man called a young lady hi* “precious darling litQe honey dew of a booming rosebud,” and then stood a breach qf promise suit before he would marry her. Tekbible Mistake.—An ex change says: A surgeon was called the other day to a house up town to amputate the leg of a woman. He is near-sighted man. and when he reached the house he get into the wrong room, and calmly sawed off the limb of tte servant girl, who was a German, and who had come over two days before. She said nothing until the operation was completed because she thought it was one of the customs of the country which all foreigners bad to submit to before they could be qual ified to remain in a land of liberty. Women in Austria perform the du ties of brick-layers and may be seen carrying hods of morfer and baskets of brick up high ladders. More than that, they dig and wheel barrows of “ bal last” almost as nimbly as the men.— They chop wood, they carry water, they Oder to clean jour boots in tbe streets, and perform many other little offices, which according to our notio&a, do not and should not corae under the denomination of woman’s work. Rowells now American Newspaper Directory reports the existence of 4<j0 religious joutnals in the United State*. ■Forty-seven of these are under control of the Methodists, the largest number in the hands of aDy single denomina tion. Tho Roman Catholics have forty-one; the Baptists thirty-five; the Presbyteriaus twenty-nine; the Epis copalians twenty-one; the Lutherans and reformed Germans fourteen each; the Jews nine and the Congregation al ists eight, A countryman in Savannah observ ed a gang of negroe* at work in the street, each wearing a ball and chain He asked one why that ball wav chained to his leg. “To keep people from stealing it,” said tbe darkey. “Heap of thieves about here.” An Irishman's Will—“I will and bequeath to my beloved wife Bridget all my property, without reserve, and to my eldest eon Patrick one half of the remainder, and to Dennis, my youngest son, the rest: If anything is left it may go to Terence McCarty/ An old bachelor says that giving tbe ballot to woman would not amount to anything practically, because they would keep denying that they were old enough to vote uotil they were too old to take any interest in politic*.
