The Sleepers.
They are sleeping. Wlionro sleeping ?'
Children wearricd with tlieir play;
For Die atars of night are peeping,
And the sun Ima sunk away.
. As the dew upon the blossoms
Row on their slender stem,
So, as light ns their own bosom,
JRnlmy sleep hnth conquered them.
*. I'hey are sleeping. Who are sleeping ?
Mortals, compassed round with wo ;
Tiyelids wearried out with weeping,
Close for very weakness now :
And that short relief from sorrow,
Ilarrassed nature shall sustain,
'I'llI they wake again to morrow,
Strengthened to contend with pain.
They are sleeping. Who are sleeping ?
Captives in their gl6omy cells ;
Vet sweet dreams are o'er them creeping?
\Vith their many colored spells:
All they love?again they clasp them ;
feel again their long lost Joya ;
ltuttlie haste with which they grasp them.
Kvery fsiry form destioys.
They are sleeping. Who are sleeping ?
.Misers, by their hoarded gold ;
And in fancy now arc heaping
Gems and pearls of price untold ;
( olden chains their limbs encumber,
Diamonds seem before them strewn :
Itut they waken from their slumber,
,\:id tl c sph-miid dream is Mown.
'J'aey arc sleeping. Who arc sleeping ?
i'aiise a moment, softly tread:
Anxious friends are fondly keeping
Vigils oy the sleeper's bed :
Other hopes have all forsaken :
One remains, that slumber keep ;
Speak not, lest the slumherer waken
Prom that sweet, that >a\ing sleep.
'!'!?vv r< sleeping. Who aim s|ecpi.?g 'fhwii

('.am a ooild ot wo and weeping,
7'o the regions of decay.
Safe lbey lest, |he green turf under;

Winer's a ant or summer's thunder,

A LIFE HISTORY.
IIV I.Al'ltA LINCOLN.
A drunkard's wife! 'Ob ! fntu worse
than dextli.' Would tlmt the oii; of el
tii|tieii(e were mine tlinl I might pour
forth, in 'won!* :Iihi bum,' the story of
her wrong* Kven now before my men
tnl vision rise* the image of a f*ir young
girl, whose youth hioI liMppines* was
blighted by the fatal curse of intern per
mice in the being who had promised be
fore God to "love end cherUh" her til!
dentil did them part.
Annie Melville was the d'.lighter of
wealthy parents.
A^hc *?.? not iH-uutiful ; tnit her joqng f?cc
Made up in sweetness w lint It Uck'd in grace.*
Annie ??? high >j> lited nnd wayward
but vvithnl, loving nnd affect o mte, nml
capable of the utmost devotion t>> the oh
ject of her ntfeclion.
With it limn of the right stamp for her
life companion, she would have made a
noble woman. As it was, adverse circum
olaiios called forth the evil as well as the
good of her nature
She had been a petted, an indulged
child ; and her parents had never taught
her the (ftftkull and much.needed lesson
of self control.
Annie met Walter Carlton, ami soon a
mutual love sprang up between them.?
>le addressed her and was accepted, and
jhe maiden thought never was there bliss
like unto hers. Handsome and fascina
ting?gifted w:th talents, which bade
/ail to give him a prominent p'ace among
the great of the land?the young man
seemed well worthy a heart's devotion.
Her father and friend*, while admit
^ing the many nohle qualities of her sub
tor, told Annie plainly that he possessed
one failing, which if not speedily over
pome, would prove the ruin of hinttelf
end nil conneoted w?th him?vix: n fond
p<e?* (i>f ttroi.g drink.
Hut the Wrtrni-lienrU-d nnd impulsive
girl would not listen to no remonstrances.
. I will marry him,' the cried, 'mid by
;nv love nod faith I will rui'g m 1111?).'
Oh ! rmh nnd headstrong youih ! when
will ye profit by the wisdom nnd experi
ence of the aged, who have learned
through bitter (uttering what they would
fain teach you ?
And in spite of repeated warning, Annie
Melville did marry Waiter Carlton.
Alaa ! could she, with prophetic eye, but
have aeen the dismal future, with all its
weight of woe, sooner would she have
cast herself from the highest precipice into
the sea, than have allied her fate with
that of Walter Carlton,
For a time all went w?l|, nnd Walter's
friends hoped that his marriage had ef
fueled a thorough change fpr the better
In hie character. Home six month* after
their union the young couple went to
housekeeping?hitherto they bad resided
will* n<e's father.
When Waller went from among comparative
strangers to the associates of
j years the evil hahil which had been more
i iirtnlv fixed than his wife imagined, again
began to assert its power.
Again and again, would the young
man re'urn home partially intoxicated.?
Annie plead and wept, and endeavored
til mil 111- llllllll. !l? I,I.tumnit UU tt.iuuil.lt> I..
i her husband Soon came a son to them;
i and llie young wiie thought, ''Now cen
tainly Walter will stay more at home,'
and for a brief period he did, evidently
struggling to resist temptation?but
I again he fell ; and 'the last state of that '
i man was worse than the lirst.'
{ The human heart seeks for sympathy
in its sorrows. We feel our burthens lightened
if they be hut shared by some friend j
ly confidante. Thus Annie felt, when in
| the midst of her sore troubles, she turned .
j to her relatives for sympathy and con so
lation. Hut like Jolt's comforter's of old,
they replied : 'You knew that he drank
i before joii inanied him." Ami here per' ;
mil us a lew words not altogether iirelo- I
vant : Often, when a young wife ia made
| happv by soon- failing in the husband of
' her choice ? perhaps such as the one of j
j which we are now treating ? instead of
! meeting with pity and kin I forbearance t
I from thosu to whom she may confide tier
i grief-, how frequently do they say?'You ,
' knew this before you married him ? as j
you have sown, so must you reap.'
When has heedless, Iistmv vr.iilb nar

of their present acts, when influenced bv j
I love ?* Tli.-y believe that with love, all i
i thing* aie poAkiblu, and that their [inner !
I for good in i'lliiiiitable. Kxalled by their
j devotion, they believe themselves imper j
vious to the ("aits of fate, Kro longthough
atieclioii he hold as ever- -these ,
romantic dreams fade away, and the cold, I
, stern reality stares them in the face.? j
; Then, unless upheld hv an arm stronger i
than of liesh, they faint and fall in the
j conllict, an I the Pharisee passes hy on
' the other side, saying - "I have no pity
' for them ? the* did this tiling with their .

so tiio-e infutna'e I you g creation-. >. .

Children were rapidly horn unto An

ed. Not the least among her tronb'es,
was pecuniary dillieuliivs for it is t.otori j
us, that when w man drinks, be scatters
< Itis loo, >y broad cast
Annie bad ere this discovered a fact,
of whicli before her mairiage she had
not boen aware, viz; that fhu was very
, high tiinpered, and at times loir outraged
i feelings caused

And ww it strange ll.al Annie's grief
was not deep nor lasting. for the being
j who had Unbilled I?? r womanhood, and
I by his own MiUdeuds alienated Iter heart? ;
, In tlie society ami n||'Uv.ln u of her i liildren,
she found that happiness which had
been so long denied her
j Relieved lioin the pre*siito of anxiety
and care, Iter face resumed its freshness,
and her form its roundness, and people

selves as candidates for Iter band, but to

in gilliiond risked Iter all upon a single
chance and lost?never more would she

not so extensive as nt first reported by |

The Mill* building, aa liHHabeady heen ! i
i iiottui, full wuli h tremendous crash short
ly after 6 o'clock on Tueeday afternoon. 1
U ?u nb sudden hs it was feisrful. Very
| few, if any of the operate* were aware of i
the impending danger until it emne upon | |
I them in the fell of gigantic walls, ponder i
1 ous flooring*, machinery, and other numerous
contents of the building. It whs
the frightful work of an instant. Two
scenes of wider or more painful contrast
, could not l>e imagined. A mill in full
operation, with several hundred men, women
ami chiliiien quietly performing
their accustomed labor, oil the one side, '
i is illiberal Jed deal ruction, producing de
vastalion and the mutt humble ot death
on the other. Let us bo thankful that
few such scenes over meet the eye or pain j
the heart.
The origin of the catastrophe is vurr I
oiisly slated, but tliat which appears llie j
more probable is a defect in the foiimla
liou wall, (lie mere particularly in lliu up
per or Northern portion. It :* also hint- !
ed that the walls of (ho building were in
suflicient for m> heavy a weight as was i
placed upon them. I ho machinery w ?|
unusually heavy, while the floors were j
immense:)' massive, aud in this respect j
presented a marked contrast in propor 1
tion to the walls and foundation. It is j
not improbable llsut the action of the j
frost on the foundation and walls bad
something to do with it, a warm season
suddenly following a very cold one. As
before hinted, there are numerous reports |
as to the origin of the catastrophe, some j
ol which are reasonable, and others are I
not. Those above mentioned, so far as ;
our inquiries went, are nearest tbe tine i
ones. The,it.cpiest which is to be lield I
will be thorough, and will, no doubt, i
bring out the real facts of the case.

forced Ins way against the smoke

whose voices l:? could hear. Suddenly

men and a woman. He even caught one
of the limn !?v the hand, and hoped to
draw him out, hut the crackling of the

nice of an oflieer, impelled him re'uc j
t titly to desist, and hy a timely retreat
to sav? his own life. Neither of the three \
person* appeared injured at all, and tliev
must have been literally roasted alive. j
It is related hv a gentleman who was j
early on the spot, that at one point o|
the ruins lie distinguished a female voice
crying in distress, and soon another voice j
answtred, 'Is that you, L zzie ? Are you ,

The Mechanic and the Farmer.
'1 lie following is the closing part of an
Adtliess, delivered hefoje tlie Cuinherland
(N. C.) Agticulluial Society, by \V.
\\ . Ilo dell, Km| :
'1 have said, fellow citizens, that agriculture
is the chief pursuit of man ; yet it
! is dependent on, and mdissoluhly cotinec
ted with, the unchaiiic ans. 'iiiev exist

neglect, injure one and you injure the
oilier. ll the farmer feeds us, the me
dinnic clothes us. ll the fanner looks to
he soil for support, ami for susieuaucu
for< titers, he looks, to and labors in it
with the 'mplements the mechanic has
placed in Ins hands. Every ship that
'stills; every fortification that towers
' along the deep; every improvement upon
our r vers. lakes, and seas; every towu
and city that adorns the, sutface of the
world ; every temple dedicated to law,
ait science, and religion ; every telegraph
wire, Hiititlitia'ii g space ; every steam car
uniting the inlertsts and sympathies of
(I"stunt communities ; every telescope
s sc. ping the heavens and bringing other
world* Inigely before our vision; every
iiticroscoj ? reveal.ng the hidden wonders
of the world around us ; every printed
!>. ok, which informs, instructs, de'ighu,
and elevates the mind ; every tabric and
contrivance which contributes to our convenience
or comfort, or which protects us
' from the heat of summer and the cold of
winter, is the diiecl result of mechanical
1 itigeniiiiv. itidustrv, and skill.
L,et no man be ashamed of mechani*
! labor. Some of the greatest. and best
: men that evar griued the earili with
. ' < ir presence, were mechanics. The
