good poetry.

Thou dear, old rambling, charming
town!
I am in love whh thee;
Aad so I wake my harp to sicg
Thy BASMlese witchery!
What is the secret of thy power?
And what thy magic spall
That I, though absent in the flesh, ,
Should on thy mem'ry dwell
I scarce can tell. I only know
That in thee s strangely blent
All that is fair ef old or new,
Quaint New Berne on the Tren!
On thy broad streams like mimio seas
The proad ahtps ocme ens' go.
While fishing smack sand pleasure craft
Rock idly to aad fro.
The bouse and tree are standing jet.
That sheltered Washington, '
Aad many a legend speak they, of
The Nation's royal son.
The impress of an hundred jears
Is left upon thy form ;
And thou hast felt the vengeful might
Of war's barbaric storm!
In early days the Indian's "whoop"
Rang through thy ureen retreats;
And hot, ensanguint-d ttrrents flowed
Like wate.r in iby streets!
InWooithou wert baptised, New Berne!
For by the ravage band
Fell one by one as wind-swept leavnx
The little eettler bind!
Reminders of those dayn thus art
In every nook and glen;
And thine entablatures are 'graved
With deeds of gallant men!
Ib "God's own Acre" rest they now
The brave, historio dead
And marbles rear their slender shafts
Above each honored head!
Butthough the Past doth claim ibee itill
Bold Innovation, too,
Bids thee arouse, and fain would make
A paradox pf you!
So wedded are the two, that thou
Dost rub thy sleepy eyes
The while thou art unto thyself
A source of grave surprise.
Ob! if to me so blest a lot
By heaven bad been sent.
I'd dream, and dream my life away
In New Berne on tub Trent!

Bland Jones, in her 27th year.
It was indeed sacttosee one so young
taken from a loving husband and fond
parents, but the bereaved ones are com
forted with tne assuranoe that "their
loss was her gain. " All that a skillful
Dhvsioian and lovinir hands could do
was done, but the decree bad gone
forth v the messenger sent and the call
made for her to come up higher. As
gentle as a summer, breeze, the spirit
bid the body adieu, ami was waited
Intd the haven of rest. Thus the first
link ws taken from the family ehain
of loved ones, to make heaven, if possi
ble, more attractive to those that are
left.
The aching and suffering body is at
rest, and the soul rejoicing oyer the
victory won.

The hearts bleed. r sorrow with ho sye

husband jnd parents, loving brothers
and sisterSwdo not rebel against God,
nor question- His providenoe, but be
reconciled and say "not my will, but
thine, O Lord, be done," and the cloud
