From the New Yorker. ISAAC FITZGERALD SHEPARD. There is a new candidate for the favors of the Niie. Mr. Shepard, we are told, is a prin ter, who, till three years since,was engaged in putting in type the productions of others. He as now a student at Harvard College, Cam bridge. The volume of poems from. which we make the following selection, is just out of press in Boston: THE DEAD. -.-------And hath the memory Of otber days no power upon thy soul? B. B. TATcHre. I love them still-the dead Beneath the grave's dark covert sleeping, Where wild-wood flowers rich sweets are weepn Above their silent bed, So like tdie iifluence memory brings Of friendships, ties unbroken, When heart gave heart pure token, Of unfeigned happiness, The-love-ehained soul indwelling, While heaven-waked thoughts were swelling, - With holy tenderness. Then borne, as on celestial wings, Afar from each dull scene of earth, Each seemed to know a seraph's birth, So deep that pleasure's thrill! What though from men their names have per. ishedli Through changing days their worth I've cher ished: The dead! I love them still! When sighs the twilight's gale, In dulcet tones its music waking, And blends with waves in ripples breaking . Down the wide-spreading dale; Or when the thunder's voice is heard From heaven, in terror speaking, And storm-winds fierce are shrieking From mount and forest far, While temple-spires are crashing, And ocean's surge is lashing The tempest'e furious car, And each around with woe is stirred, In varied tones, a voice I hear, Or soft or loud, or far or near, By sea, by fount, by nIl, From out the spirit-land declaring The lost, the lost, my thoughts are sharing, The dead! I love them still! I crave no monument To tower above where I am resting, E'en though to noble deeds attesting The sculptor's art is lent: No charm where marble columns stand So pure as that which liveth Where faithful memory giveth Sad tears to friendehip paid! I would my name might perish When those whose love I cherish, Shall pass the realms of shade, And meet me in the spirit-land! Save hope of heaven, 'tis all I ask, When fnished is life's varied task, And past each good, each ill, That those who round my couch are bending Shall murmur, mid their prayers ascending, 'Till death, we'll love thee still!' From the Casket. FAR, FAR AWAY. nT C. J. PETERsoN. I love to look on the purple west, In the gorgeous robes of sunset drest; With its crimson pomp and bannered sheen, Like the lordly state of a dying queen; The distant woods with their crowns of old, And the hoary hills, Time's fastness bold ; While zephyrs breathe in their low, soft chimes "We may only tell of the golden climes, And that better land in the realms of day, Far, far away !" I love to stand on the mountain height, In the magic noon of a summer night: White vale and meadow ate fairy ln, * And elves come out on the p ebbly strand. And fays are merry in moon light dell, And earth. witched with a seer-like spell; And low the voice of the sounding sea Seemeth to say in its minstrelsy " We only tell of the realms of day, Far, far away." I love to look on a youn fair face, With the sunny smdle of childhood there, To hear the laugh of its careless glee, Like the gladsome shout of the sumnmer sea For it seems to say as they float along, With mazy dance, and the murmured song, " The land !-the land by the sunset sky, Where tears are not, and we'll no more die, Oh! the old grow young in that realm of day, Far, far away !" There-sarry rivers are murm'ring low, .To deathless flowers that by them blow ; And zephyrs breathe in their lute like tones; And hymn the starn on their golden thrones; The sun sings out; and there is no night ; And myriad ones, in robes of white, Floating along upon azure wings Their ruptures teflon their trembling strings " Oh! let usflay to that realm of day, P~aiw~eplui, ~Far, far away !" There is a certain prettiness in the an D15 wors in this littde song, about litdle things, which is amusing. There was a littde maid, and she wore a litte bonniet, And she had a little finger, with a littde ring upon it; And what's a littde odd, her littdeheart was then In love, but not a littde, with the littde best of men. For the little youth had exercised his flatt'ring little tongue. And down before her little feet his littde knees haddalng, He pressed her little hand, and in her little face And lookeda though his little head had been a. little crazed. Alas! her littde lover did with little warning leave her, And she found him little better than a little gay deceiver; Then in a littde moment, stifling all her littde wishes, She took a litdle jump all above the little fishes. Now all you little maidens whose little loves grow fonder, Upon the littde moral of this little song may ponder; Bieware of little trinkets, little men, and little For yoa ~e know what great things frm litle things may rise.

YOU are respectfully informed that 70 MEETING sTREET.7f@-is my Office. for the exclunsive sale of BRANDRETH'S VEGE TABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. Price twen ty five cents per box, with directionsin English, ren S ish Portuguese and German. The high and universal reputation of the Biantde Pills, renders it unnecessary to com ment largely on their particular virtues. As an anti-bilifus and purgative medicine, they are unequalled by any. Their purifying efiect on the blood is universally allowed-all that have ever used have approved and recommended them. In many cases where the dreadful ravages of ulceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where to all appearance, no human means could save life, have patients by the use ofthese Pills, been restored to good health; the devour iug disease having beencompletely eradicated. In consequence ofthe pleasantness of their operation, they are universally used in every section of this wide extended country where they are made known, and are fast surperseding every other Preparation of professed similar import. Upwards of Fourteen Thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely from their use since the introduction of that into the U. States, thus establishing the fact beyond all doubt, that the Brandre& Pills cure the (appa rently) most opposite diseases, by the one simple act of continually evacuating the bowl els with them, until the disease gives way; therefore, whatever may be said of the THEORY, the UTILITY of the PRACTIcZ is now BEYOND all DOUBT. As Brandreth's Pills cure Scurvy, Costive ness, and its consequences, seasfaring men, and all travellers to foreign regions, should not be without, in order to resoit to them on every occasion of illness. No medicine chest is re quired where they are. N. B,-Time or climate affects them not, provided they are kept dry. Southern gentle men will find this medieine one that will insure health to the people on their estates. Be careful and never purchase Pills of a Druggist, PROFESSING to be Brandreth's Pills. Under 1o cacUxsITaNczs is any one of this class made an Agent. My own established Agents have lavARIABLT an xxoNRAvE Certifi cate, signed B. Brandreth, M. D, in my own hand writing. This is renewed yearly-and when over twelve months old, it no longer guarantees the genuineness of the medicine, it would be well, therefore, for purchasers to carefully examine the Certificate. The seal is not wax, but embossed on the paper with a steel seal. Ifthe genuine medicine is obtained,there is no doubt of its giving perfect satisfaction, and if all who want it are careful to go by the above directions, there is little doubt but they will obtain it. Remember 70 Meeting street, is the only place in Charleston where the genuine medi cine can be obtain, AM at J. Sales, Hamburg and C. A. DOWD,Edgefield 0. H. the only authorised Agents for Edgeficld.
