THE DYING MOTHER. BY ALICE CAREY. We wm weeping round her pillow, For we knew tint six- must die; It was night within oiir bosoms It wan night ujkoi the sky. Tliere were seven of ns children, I the oldest one of all ; h I tried to whisper comfort, But the blinding tears would fall On my knees my little brotLer Leaned his aching 1row and vept And my sister's lung black tresses O'er my braving bosom swept. Tli'1 shadow of an awful fear Came o'er me as I trod To lay the burden of our griej" Before the throne of God. "O, be kind to cne another!" Was my mother's pleading prayer, As lier baud lay like a snow-Hake On the baby's golden hair. Then a glory bound her forehead, Like the glory of a crown, And in the silent sea of death The star of life went down. Her latest breath was borne away I'pouthat loving pray, r, And the hand grew heavier, paler, In the baby' golden hair. ifmr, ftSlit, m Smtimtnt. "A litllr Fun, noir unit lUm, Is nlishnl hy At hett of Men." YOUNG LOVERS. One of the queerest wad funi)MsJ tilings t think of in after Ufe, is "BoyijsJ) I-ove." No mount doea a boy tptygin a toh-mMr statue, than he begins to iiaagma IrfMSptf a man, and to nje nivuirh ways Ho casts rirlnlfg glance i tjn- g'rls )ie may meet, becomes a regular tlrnjhjnt sit church or jnecting, ppostf a eaie, carries his head erect, and struts a little in liis walk, l're Hcntlv, and how v.ory soon ! he falls in love yes, "falls-" is the proper word. Iccause it best indi ates his happy, dcdirioiis self nliaseinent. IJe lives now in a fairy region, Homcwlu MJC collateral to the world, and yet, jwme)iow. blandcd inevtrieably with it. He lll fllllWH his liair iritb fragrant oil, scatters essences over his handkerchief, and desper ately shaves, und anoints for a beard. Ho quote poetry in which "love" and "dove," and "heart" and "dart" peculiarly predom inate ; and, as bo plunge deeju-r into the delicious labyrinth, fancies himself filled with the divine afflatus, ami suddenly breaks into a scarlet rash of rhyme. He feeds upon the looks of his beloved; is raised to the seventh heaven if she speaks a pleasant word; is betrayed into the most astonuh ing ccstacies by a smile; and is plunged into the gloomiest regions of misanthropy by a frown. He believes himself the most devoted lover in the world. There never was such another. There never will be. He is the one great idolater. He in the very tvpe of magnanimity and self-nhncgatioti. Wealth ! he despise the grovelling thought. Pover ty, with the adorable beloved, he rapturous ly apostrophize- as the first of all earthly blowings ; und "Love in a Cottage, with ,xvater and a crust ;" is the beau-ideal para dise of dainty delights. He declares to himself, with the most solemn emphasis, that he would go through fire and water ; undertake a pilgrimage to China or Kamitschutka ; swim stoim-tossed oceans; scale impassable mountain, and face legioBs of bayonets, but for one swee t smile from her dear lips. He donts upon a flower sIk has cast away. He cherishes her glove a little worn in the fingers next his heart. He sigh like a locomotive letting off steam. He scrawla her dear name over quires of fbobeap fitting medium for his insanity. He scornfully deprecates the attention of other boys of his own r.e ; cuts X eter Pibbeta dead, beennse he said that the adorable Angelina had carrotty hair; and passed Harry Jlell contemptuously, for dnnng to compare "thut gawky Mary Jane" with bis coaanarablfl Angeline. Happy! happy.' fo.Lish Boy-love ; with its hopes and its fears : ks j.,vs and its sor rows ; jealousies ; its delights; its raptures And its tortures; its ecstatic ryots ant terrible heart-burnings j its solemn ludi orousuess ; and its intensely prosaic ter mination. Anecdote or ran New Chaplain ine hot. uenry t lay Uenu, the present chaplHtn to the United States Senate, wa BOOM years ago a resident of Northwestern Virginia. While preaehing one day at a church situated a few miles from Fairmoant he was annoyed by the inattention of hi: congregation as manifested in turning their heads to see everybody who came in. "Brethren, said he, " it is very ditlieult to preach when thus interrupted. Now do you listen to me, and I will tell you the nam of every man as he enters the church." Of course this remark attracted universal at tention. Presently some one entered : " Brother William Salterfield !" called out the preacher, while that " brother was as tonished beyond measure, and endeavored m vain to gucg what was the matter. An other person came iu "brother Joseph Miller ! bawled the preacher, with a like result ; and so perhaps in other cases. Af ter a while the congregation were amazed at bearing the preacher call out in a loud voice : "A little old man with a blue coat and a white hat on ! don't know who he is ! You may look for yourselves.' Fairmount irgmian. MM Sue Knew what sue was About. A Chinese widow being found tannins the tomb of her deceased husband, and beinir asked the cause of so singular a mode of showing her grief, accounted for it by say ing that he had made her promise not to marry again while the mortar on his tomb remained damp, and as it dried but slowly, she saw no harm in aiding the operation. J m "When I goes shoppiu'," suid an old lady. "I allers asks for what I wauts, and if they have it, and it's suitable, and I feel in clined to buy it. and it's cheap, aud can't bo got at any piece for less. I most always takes it, without chappering about it all day. as most peoplo does."

The fact now being established that a Kail Road is to be constructed immediately connecting Ihe Atlantic ami Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire length of the county, East and West, and in view of the great fertility of our soil, the unusually fine giowth of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the climate, ami the reasonable terms on w hich lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the Union which affords equal inducements to the emigrant from the older States. Ha-'.'iog had some experience in farm ing on the different kinds ot land, and ac quired a general knowledge of them through out the county, and having acquired unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale either of public or private lands, he feels very confident of making it the interest of all persons wishing information, of who may have deter mined to settle i.i f ioiida to call on him.
