C. LANGSTON. I had a dream which was not nit a dream —Byrom. 1 Within a mansion grand and stately I beheld a maiden fair, An.l tlu> softly streaming lamnliirht • Play’d upon her golden hair. j Xow her eyes were looking downward With a lustre all their own, J And her voice was sweetly mingled With the harp string’s mellow tone. Not alone was she thus sitting Like a Peri from the sea, For a youth stood close beside tier, , List’ningto the melody. lie was here but as a stranger Who had come awhile to dwell, But ere long, a helpless victim, ’Neath the Archer’s dart he fell. i Now his eyes were flx’d intently On the beauty of her face, Where the Houris tried to ravish Witli the magic of their grace. His parted lips with rapture quiver’d, I And his cheek’s hue went and came, | As her dulcet music thrill’d him With love’s silent, binning flame. Yet he breath’d no loving whisper,— I For his love sought no return, But, in fearless peace and gladness, Let the spark, enkindled, burn. Often did they walk together Down the lanes and up the hills, List’ning to the twilight vespers Os the birds and murmuring rills. Near by ran a crystal river, And a down it would they glide, While their voices, softly blended I With the gently rippling tide. i Long I watch’d the pair tints passing Weeks and monl lis of life’s young day, Till his soul had clasp'd her image So it could not fade away. I Tho’ lie lov’d with true devotion, All his vows were vain to move; — | To another had the maiden Breath’d her timid pledge of love. When the mournful truth was told him, I Anguish filled Ids bosom then; j Wretched, hopeless, and despairing, Far he fled from haunts of men. i Liv’d a lone, forsaken hermit, From the busy world conceal’d; | All affection's limpid fountains In his bosom had congeal’d. | But the maiden wed the other, And her roseate future smiled; I Infant lips soon eall’d her, mother, And her sorrows all beguil’d. J Thus her lot was like an Eden, Where no hitter words were spoken; | But while she was lov’d and happy, One true, manly heart was broken. j Once again I look’d, but vanish’d Were the objects of my theme; And I woke with bosom grateful That it had been all a dream. Yet I thought how many a story Could this simple dream relate: Blighted hopes and tearful partings By ttie stern decrees of fate. All ! there’s many a heart thus broken, J Many a tale of grief unsung; Many an anguish never spoken, From the quivering heart strings wrung. Many a hidden spring of sorrow, Many a tear drop never shed; Many a bosom that, unheeded, Has in silent anguish bled. —^ How to get sick.

Died at her home in Cr.attooga | county, Georgia, August 23d, 1880, 1 Mrs. I. 11. Satterfield, wife of E. II j Satterfield, aged 73 years and 17 j days. She was horn near Ashvilie, j Buncombe county N. C. in the year 1807, moved to Habersham county, Georgia, in 1824, professed religion in 1826, joined the Baptist church, | and lived a faithful and much be* j loved member of the same until she j Was called by an allwise God to a I liome prepared for those who die i in Christ. She was the subject of much bodi j !v suffering for the past two years. J from dropsy of the chest, hut bore ! her afflictions with great. Christian ! fortitude, and she spent her last | days with a soul longing to he dis ! solved of this flesh, sod to lie borne away to the paradise of God. She was married in hei 24th year, j and was the mother of nine cliild | ren, four girls and five h ijs. She j moved to Chattooga county in the 1 year 1834, and has here been es j teemed by all who knew her. She | leaves behind her a husband well stricken in years, with children and grandchildren and many friends to j mourn her loss; for we can hut re i gret to give up one so pleasant and | lovable, though it be the will of a j kind Providence to call her away. We tender to the bereaved ones I our heartfelt sympliathy; may they j ever follow th» example set forth i by such an esteemed mother. A Fkiend. Dot tings From Subligna. Editor Messenger : It was my pleasure to attend the I camp meeting at Concord, on lust j Sabbath. There was an immense I crowd present The presiding El der preached at 11 o'clock. The! sermon was a doctrinal one, and ■ abounded in foot incontrovertible, j it was well received by the Imr e crowd present and doubtless much j good was effected. Rev. J. E. B. Lewis preached at 3 o’clock, his ef fort was replete with wisdom, and instructions to parents in regard to training their children, he showed ! conclusively that the earliest itn- ; pressions were the most lasting and that they were under many obliga tions to train them for the Lord.
