The following beautiful ballad of the Sabbath Is a literal description of the cus toms which prevail In the rural districts of the North of Ireland and in the Low lands of Scotland. The author is not known, though the poem is very general ly circulated and often recited by the jieasantry of Ulster. We transcribe it from a Belfast paper. KEMXISCENCES OP THE SABBATH DAT. I remember, I remember when Sabbath morning rose. We changed, for garments neat and clean, our soiled week-day clothes: And yet no gaudy finery, nor brooch, nor jewel rare. But hands and faces polished bright, and smoothly parted hair. ’Twas not the decking of the head, my father used to say, But careful clothing of the heart, that graced that holy day; ’Twas not the bonnes nor the dress—and I believed it true— But those were very simple times, and I was simple too. I remember, I remember the parlour where we met. Its papered walls, its polished floor, and mantel black as jet; ’Twas there we raised our morning hymn, melodious, sweet and clear. And joined in prayer with that loved voice, which wo no more may hear. Our moruing sacrifice thus made, then to tlie house of God How solemnly, and silently, and cheerfully we trod! I see e’en now its low thatched root, it3 floor of trodden clay, And our old pastor’s time-worn face, and wig of sliver gray. I remember, I remember how hushed and mute wo were t While he led our spirits up to God, in heart felt melting prayer; To grace his action of his voice, no studied charm was lent— Pure, fervent, glowing from the heart, so to the heart it went. Then came the sermon, long and quaint, but full of Gospel truth; Ah me! I was no judge of that, for I was then a youth. But I have heard my father say—and well my father knew— In it was meat for full-grown men, and milk for children too. I remember, I remember, as 'twere but yes terday. The Psalms in Rouse’s version sung, a rude but lovely lay. Nor yet, though fashion’s hand has tried to train my wayward ear, Can I find ought in modern verse so holy or so dear. And well do I remember, too, the old pre centor’s face, As he read out and sung the line with pa triarchal grace; Though rudely rustic was the sound, I’m sure that God was praised. When David’s words, to David's tune, five hundred voices raised. I remember, I remember the morning ser mon done— An hour of intermission came—we wander ed in the sun; How hoary farmers sat them down upon the daisy sod. And talked of bounteous Nature’s stores, and Nature’s bounteous God; And matrons talked, as matrons will, of sickness and of health. Of births, and deaths, and marriages, and poverty and wealth: And youths and maidens stole apart, within tne shady grove, And whispered, neath its spreading boughs, perchance some tale of love, I remember, I remember how, in the church yard lone, I’ve stolen away and set me down beside the rude grave-stone, Or read the names of those who slept be neath the clay-cold clod. And thoughts of spirits glittering bright before the throne of .God; Or where the little rivulet danced sport ively and bright, Receiving on its limpid breast the sun’s meridian light. I’ve wandered forth, and thought IT hearts wore pure like this sweet stream How fair to Heaven they might reflect Heaven’s uncreated beam. I remember, I remember the second sermon o’er— We turned our faces once again to our pa t-maldoor; Aid roun l the well-filled, ample board sat ±4O .uiuetaut guest, For exercise gave appetite, and loved ones shared the feast; Then, ore the sunset hour arrived, as wo were wont to do. The Catachism’s well-conned page we said it through and through; And childhood’s faltering tongue was heard to lisp the holy word. And older voices read aloud the message of the Lord. Away back in those days of yore, perhaps the fault was mine, I used to think the Sabbath day, dear Lord, was wholly thine; When it behooved to keep the heart, and bridle fast the tongue; But these were very simplej.times, and I was very young. The world hath grown much older since these sunbright Sabbath days— The world has grown much older since, and she has changed her ways; Some say that she has wiser grown; ah, mel it may be true That wisdom comes by length of years, but so does dotage too. Oh! happy, happy years of truth—how beautiful, how fair, To memory’s retrospective eye, your trod den pathways are! The thorns forgot, remembered still the fragrance and the flowers; The loved companions of my youth, and sunny Sabbath hours. And onward, onward, onward still, succes sive Sabbaths come, As guides to lead us on the ro id to our eternal home; Or, like the visioned ladder once to slum bering Jacob given, From Heaven descending to the earth, lead back from earth to heaven. Genius and Its Trials. [Baltimore Sun.] The calamities of genius are notori ous. A long list of renowned names was once published exemplifying this truth, but perhaps there is no more powerful illustration than is afforded by the life of Michael Angelo, the im mortal sculptor of Moses, David, Day and Night; the painter of the Sistine Chapel and the Last Judgment—the architect of St. Peter’s. Italians of Florence held a commemorative festi val last month in honor of her greatest name. Anew life of this remarkable man—sculptor, painter, architect and poet—has lately been written by Aure lio Gotti. This work has been com posed by the aid of hundreds of letters hitherto locked from the world in the ehests of the Buonarrotti family.— The life is a revelation of sorrows and trials akin to those flames of affliction in which the great na tures of the world are so often tried and refined. The story of his troubles with careless Popes and malicious and en vious artists has been often told, but this is a tale of an unworthy family whom Angelo helped and fed and pain fully held up against their own inertia and evil. Father nor brothers thought of him except as he supplied them with money, stinting himself meanwhile so that, when he was busy on the statue of Pope Julius 11., he slept with his workmen, four in a bed. His father was old and perhaps childish, but his brothers were ineffably mean. They would complain of him to their father, and theu the old man would reprove him. He sent to a brother a fine dag ger to present to Filippo Strozzi, and the mercenary fellow instead sold it to Filippo. The saddest letters are two, one in bitter reproof to his youngest brother, who had apparently long been treating his father badly, and had final ly gone so far as to strike him; the other of infinite tenderness to the old father, comforting him, and telling him of plans for their future together. This brother, disregarding the appeal to reform at home, went straightway to the West Indies —it was then in 1508— and was heard from no more for forty years. Then, Michael Angelo being i seventy-three years old, he suffered re- I morse at thought of his brother’s un- Jblest death, far off, aud wrought anx [ iously to know if he had confessed and received the sacraments. When he was answered he wrote thus : “ You write that, also Giovansimone has uot had all that the church or duius, yet that he repented sincerely, and this, if it be true, suffices for his salvation. I have suffered bitterly, be cause I hoped that, old as I am, I ' should have seen him before his or my death. But it has pleased God thus. Patience.” Patience 1 The talisman for all the trials of humanity, from which it seems that the great are no more exempt x than the small, and which are perhaps l essential to the cleansing and discip- I line of human nature. 1 Ristori made SIO,OOO in one week in ft* Australia. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS, DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN DICE, NAUSEA, SICK HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS. It is eminently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a d< >llar in time, and doctors’ bills. After Forty Years' trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons < f the highest character and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend It as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomaeh, Bad Taste in tiie Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain in the Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and Forebodings of Evil, all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the dis ease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness, and DEATH will eusuo. IF you feel Dull, Drowsy Debili tated, have frequent Headache, Mouth Tastes baaly, poor appetite and Tongue Coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or ‘ Biliousness,” and nothing will cure you so speediiy and permanently. *‘l have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant rem edy in my life.”—H.

I can safely recommend it to the world as the best medicine I have ever used for that class of diseases it purports to cure.”—H. F. Thig pen. President of City Bank. “Simmons’ Liver Regulator has proved a good and efficacious medicine.”—C. A. Nut ting. Di'uggists. “We have been acquainted with Dr. Sim mons’ Liver Medicine for more than twen ty years, and know it to be the best Liver Regulator offered to the public.”—M. R. Lyon and H. L. Lyon, Bellefontaine, Ga. “I was cured by Simmons’ Liver Regula tor, after having suffered several years with Chilis and Fever.”—li. F. Anderson.

They com manded the admiration of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a fine head enveloped in grey hair and whiskers I—very few. AYe all love admira tion, and nothing in our appearance is more calculated to secure it than pretty hair. If old ago, sickness or sorrow has robbed you of it, you can regain it by the use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye.

Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit received by the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its won derful power in curing deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered dreadfully with a cough, attended wh h great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Ex pectorant, and it gave almost immediate relief. I took six bottles, and am now per fectly restored. It is about five months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it ana heartily recommend it to all who have,lung or throat disease. Very respectfully, Mrs. A. M.

The Bible refers to it and says: “Were an angel to come down from heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the cause of much injury. We are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and so far is it indulged, that it often leads to misanthropy. This is particularly applicable to the vir tues of many truly valuable remedial agents, however strong they may be en dorsed. Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence, Constipation of the Bowels or General De bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Livek Pills, write to him and he will furnish you with hundreds of certificates from the most reliable men and women in the coun try, who have been cured by them, of whom you can make direct inquiry. It will cost you but a postage stamp. The proprietor solicits the investigation of all who need a trulv valuable medicine. THE AIKEN TRIBUNE, An Independent Family Newspaper.

C„ April 14, 1873. f The Kilson Machine Company, LoweU, Maas.: Gentlemen, f hove been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, lor m >re th' n two years past, at the Cotton Mill of the Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, wo have not weighed a pound of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet wo have had a remarkable regularity of numbers. Tho staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding aud cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secu-ty against fire. Yours, &c.. M. F.
