I AM DYING. The following beautiful poem we copy from the Memphis'Bulletin. It-is rarely we find such contributions in the columns of a newspaper. It is sweetly, beautifully sad: -Raise my pillow, husband, dearest? ? Faint and fainter conies my breath; . And these shadows stealing slowly, Must, I know, be those of death. . Sit down close beside me,, darling, Let me clasp your warm, strong hand, . Yours that ever"has sustained me, To the borders of this land. ! For your God and mine?our Father Then-.shall ever lead me on? . While upon a throne eternal, ' Sits his loved and holy Son; - I've bad visions and been dreaming O'er the past of joy and pain,. Year by yearPve wandered backward, Till I was a child again. Dreams of girlhood and the moment When I stood your'wife and bride. How my heart thrilled with Love's triumph, . In tiat hour of .woman's pride. Dreams of thee.and alltheearth-chords Firmly twined ^bout my heart? Oh ! the bitter, burning anguish . When I first knew that we must part. It has passed?and God bas promised All thy footsteps to attend! He that's more than friend or brother, He'll be witlTyou to the end. There's no shadow o'er .the portals, Leading to my heavenly home? .;' Christ has promised life immortal, And 'tis He that bids me come. When life's trials waft around thee, ? And its.chilling billows swell Thou'ltthauk Heaven that! amsparedthen, &: - Tkov'lt then feel that 'lall is well." Bring our. boys un to my bedside; My last blessing let them keeper But they're sleeping?do not wake them; They'll learn soon enough to Weep. Tell them often of their mother, ; Kiss them for me when they wake; ?L?ad them gently in life's pathway, Love tb em doubly for my sake. Clasp my hand still closer, darling, F? vTtus, .the last night of my life, ?. For tormorrowl shall nerer Answerwhen ybu call me "wife." Fare thee well," my noble husband, Faint not 'neath the chastening rod; Throw your strong arm 'round our children; Keep them close to thee and God. THE PAST ETERNITY;, BY PEKKY X.IRKE WHITE. Oh, it is fearful, on the.midnight couch, When the rude iTrahingwted3-forget to rave, And the pale moon, that through the case? ment high Surveys the sleepless m user, stamps the hour Of utter 8ilence-7-.it is fearful then To steer the mind, in deadly, sdlitude,' . Up the vague' stream of probability: To wind the mighty secrets of the. ?past, And tum tie key of Time. Oh, who can strive; . ? To comprehend the vast, the awful truth, j Of the eternity that hath gone byt ' ? i r And not recoil from the dismaying sense! Of human impotence ? The life of man . Is summed In birth days and in sepulchres: But the Eternal God had no beginning * ' He hatb no end.

We stand aghast, when we reflect that Time Knew no commencement?that heap .age on age, . . r: - And million upon million without end, ' And we shall never span the void of days That were, and are not but in retrospect. The Past is an unfathomable depth, Beyond the span of thought; ?tas- an elapse . Which hath no mensuration, but hath been/ Forever and forever., Not so Dull as he Looked. A He was a stupid darkey; anybody could Bee that, and as he walked into a Vicks burg grocery: store,, some.of 'the-idlers .Tf iihat congregated in that neighborhood determined to play a joke.on bim. ; He' walked up to: the landlord and asked bim ^. for work?anything, no matter what it ?f.' was, so long as it paid a living. . The landlord bad no work, but referred'him to Bill Dobbins, who sat on a chair near, by, with bis feet, perched on a. barrel. Bill had the reputation of being a terri? ble wag, and as .the darkey approached him, the boys crowded round to see the fun. "Bos3, I'm hard op; can't you give me a job ?" .asked the-negro, Bill looked up, winked at (he boys, and replied: ? ' "Yes, I think I can j if you'll feed yourself and furnish the stock, I'll get. ? you to do some plowing for me." Bill laughed *at this witty sally, the. boys laughed, and the landlord roared, Bill being one of his best customers. ? The darkey scratched his head, appeared to reflect a minute, and then remarked: "I can't do that, boss. I had a propo? sition just like that this morning, and as j the other, man came first, I think he ought to bab the preference." "What was it?" inquired Bill.. "Well," says the darkey, "I asked ?:| man for work this morning, and he says: 'If you'll furnish the lines and the bait, HI give you half -the fish you ketch.'" Says Bill: "I believe that put? the drinks on me!" ? . And they drank. . _> *?i He Came baok.--^C?vernor Dural, of Florida, was the son of a poor Vir f'nian, a stern, strong, taciturn man., he. boy. was a huge youth* of fifteen. At the cabin fire, at bed-time, according to the custom of putting on a back log, the old man said, between the whiffs of his silent pipe : * :? "Tab,-go out and bring in that gum , back-log, aud put it on the fire." Tab went out and surveyed the lbg. He knew it was of no use explaining that it was too heavy, nor: prudent for him to return without having it on his ... shoulder. His little sister, passing, was not surprised that he requested her to bring out the gun and powder horn, as a possum or coon might have passed, or the brother might have, seen bear signs. She brought the, gun and Tab started. He found the way through the woods into Kentucky, in 1791. After an ab _ sence of eighteen years he was elected to Congress. A man of immense size and strength, he started for Washington, go? ing by the. way of his old home, to see the folks who had long since given him up for dead. Entering the little cabin door near bed time, he saw the identical S>nm log. He shouldered it, pulled the atch-string, and with his load stood be? fore the old man, pipe in mouth, as quiet as usual. * ' . "Here is the gum back log) father." "Well, you've been a long time getting it. Put it on the fire and go to bed, was the reply. Anecdote op the War.?I have heard an old war story, and, by the way, it is one lof the best of them. i had it from a former officer' under Stonewall Jackson: On one of our marches in the-early spring, when a chilling rain had been falling for days, and the slash was al , most waist deep, our command, utterly wretched and broken down, was strug? gling along as best it could ander such circumstances. Worn out myself, I crept into a fence-corner to rest awhile. Pre? sently I saw a solitary straggler coming slowly up the road. He seemed almost exhausted?his shoes were gone, and his j . feet cat and bleeding. I was struck with his appearance, for through all his weary wretchedness shone the indomitable spirit of the Southern .soldier?the man, who would be found at his post, or else dead in the attempt to reach.it.- I watched him closely, and as he dragged himself slowly past I heard him mutter to him? self: . "Bless me if I ever love another counV General News. ?

The First National Thanksgiving was observed Thursday, February 19, 1795, the proclamation having been is? sued by President Washington, and dated Philadelphia, January 1, 1795. It was issoed to 4,000,000 of people, while the recent'proclamation issued t>y President Hayes reached 44,000,000. ?A son of Senator Gordon was mar? ried at Atlanta, Ga., last Tuesday, to 'Miss Carrie Williams, of Columbus, Ga. A local-paper says the affair was one of the most stylish known in Atlanta for years. The ceremony was performed by ?J&ihop Beckwitb, of the Protestant Epis? copal Church, and after a wedding break? fast the.newly married couple left for Washington. . ; - ?Trenton, January. l?.^-Goverrior McClellan was inaugurated to-day in the presence of a crowd of about 20,000 per? sons. In the course of his inaugural ad? dress he said: I trust gentleman that yoq will agree with me in gladly accepting the fisting settlement of the Southern question as final, and in insist? ing that no selfish interest of individuals as mistaken policy of party shall be al? lowed to revive a subject which honor and interest alike require to be buried forever among the dead issues of the irrevocable past. -r-. The message of Gov, Nicholls, of , Louisiana, delivered on Thursday, is de? voted principally to State.finances.' Re? ferring to Kellogg's admission to the Senate, he says: "I cannot close .without entering my solemn protest against the recent action of a majority of the United States Senate, under the, forms of the constitution, in refusing to Louisiana the representation in that body to which she was entitled by rejecting the claim to a seat therein of Hon. Henry M. Spofibrd, who was elected, by you in accordance with the constitution and laws of the State and of the .United States, with an exceptional unanimity." ? The Grand Duke Nicholas, com roander-in-chief of the* European army of invasion in Turkey, is stern, a marti? net in discipline, and reckless of the lives of his soldiers. Some time since the Moscow nobles, in an address on the state of the Empire, which, after much difficulty, they managed .to ket into-the hands of the Emperor, asked- his recall, and openly charged hifn with incapacity. ;On hearing of it, and that the Czar had taken it into consideration, the.'Grand Duke warded off the blow by declaring that he. would blow his brains out if he ?ras removed from the. army. This, and I the victory at Plevna, put an end to it. ! ?We are emphatically in the age of I profanity, and it seems to us that we are on the topmost current. One cannot go { on the street anywhere -with*out having his ears offended with the vilest words, and his reverence shocked by the most profane use of sacred names. Nor does it come from the old or middle aged alone, fqr it is a fact that the younger portion of the community are most pro? ficient in degrading language. Boys have an idea that it is smart to swear;, that it makes them manly, bat there never was a greater mistake in the world. .Men, even those who swear themselves, are disgusted with profanity in a toung man, because they know how, of all bad habits, this clings the most closely and increases with years. It is the most in? sidious of habits, growing on one so in? visibly, that almost before one is aware he becomes an accomplished curser. ? The expenses of Plymouth Church are so large ? that it is difficult to figure out how they are to be met with the re? duced sum realized by the sale of pews last week, and it is apprehended that the society may have eifner to raise* money in some new way or to cut down salaries. Mr. Beechftr gets $20,000, Pastor Halliday $3,500, Seston Weld $3000, his assistant $800, Henry Camp, for the music, $5,000 this year, a reduced sum, and the mis? sions cost about $12,000. These figures, which are approximated correct, make a total of $44,300 for current expenses, to be met out of the $3&,929 realized by the sale of the pews.; The cost of heating, lighting ana cleaning the church, which is large, is not included in the estimated expenses. Last- year, the trustees had $48,420 from the pew rents, and even then they were forced to make redac? tions. Jf. . ? Probably thelargest landholder in America is ex-Governor Coburn, of Maine. Incredible as it may seem, he is the owner of not less than 693,000 acres, divided tip as follows: Maine,450,000 acres ; Canada, 135,000 ; Wisconsin, 35, 000; Michigan, 20,000; Minnesota, 18, 000; Dakota, 35,000. His latest pur? chases is that of the tract in Dakota, and was taken of the Northern Pacific Rail? road in lieu of stock, in which road he invested some 500,000. His agent, Mr. Whipple, has just returned from the West, where he has been to look after Mr. Coburn's interests and see about the last purchase. He reports the land in Dakota as among the finest held by the Governor. He says it is well adapted to growing, cereals, and fine crops or wheat ave been harvested in the vicinity the present season. The Governor is said to be besieged with beggars of both high and. low standing, and hardly a.day passes bat he receives letters asking aid to help build seminaries, churches and charitable institutions. He is reported as giving away upward of $100,000 per annum. Mr. Coburn is' probably worth $6,000,000 ? King Humbert has issued the fol? lowing proclamation: "Italians?The greatest misfortune has suddenly befallen us. Victor Emmanuel, the founder of the Kingdom of Italy,' and its unity, has. been taken from as. I received his last, sigh, which was for the nation; his last wishes, which were for the.happiness.of his people. His voice, which will always resound in my heart, bids me vanquish sorrow, ,and indicates my duty at this moment. There is only one consolation possible?namely, to .show ourselves worthy of him. I, by following in his footsteps, and you, by remaining by those civic virtues, by the aid of which he ac? complished the difficult task of render? ing Italy great and united. I shall be mindful of his grand example of devo? tion to country, love of progress, and faith in the liberal institutions which are the pride of my honse. My sole ambi tioh will be to deserve the love of my people. Italians, your first King is dead. His successor will prove to you that iu stitutions do not die. Let as unite in this hoar of great sorrow; let us strength? en that concord which has always been the s'aivation of Italy." What made George Washington; Laugh.?A cheerful view of Washing? ton is given in a story once told by Mrs. Madison to a little girl, who now repeats it in LippincoWs Magazine : "One day in Philadelphia," said Mrs. Dolly Madison, "I was sitting in my par? lor with a very dear friend, Mrs. R. B. Lee, when in^ walked Payne Todd (her. son)*dressed up in my bed gown. While we were laughing at the figure be cut, the servant threw open the door and an? nounced General and Mrs. Washington. What to do with that dreadful boy I didn't know. He could not face the President in that garb.' Neither could he leave the room without meeting them, for the door they were entering was the only one. I made him crawl quickly under , a low, broad settee on which I was sitting. I had just time to arrange the drapery when the Washingtons en? tered. After , the courtly greeting, and the usual compliments of the season, there came from under the settee a heavy sigh, which evidently attracted the Gen? eral's notice. However, I only talked and laughed a little louder, hoping to divert his attention, when?oh, me! ? there came an outcry and a kick chat could not be ignored. So I stooped down and dragged Payne out by the leg.- Gen. Washington's dignity left him for once. Laugh I Why, he fairly roared! He nearly went into convulsions.- The sight of that boy in that gown, all so unex? pected, coming wrong end first from un? der my seat?it was too much." Cast a Line for Yourself.?A young man stood listlessly watching some people fishing on a bridge. He was poor and dejected. At last approaching a basket filled with wholesome fish, he sighed: ? . "If, now, I had these I would!be hap? py. I could sell them at a fair price, and buy me food and lodgings." "I will give yo*i just as many,'and just as good fish," said the owner, who had chanced .to overh'ear hjs words, "if you will do me a trifling favor." "And what is that?" asked the other. '-'Only attend this line till I come back;. I wish to go on a short errand." The proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long, that the young man began to be irnpatieut. Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped greedily at the baited hook, and the young man lost all his depression in the excitement of pull? ing them i?; and, when the owner of the line returned, he had caught a large .number. Counting out from them as many as weje in the basket, and present-' ing tbem to the young man, said : "I fulfill my promise from the* fish you .have caught, to teach you whenever you see others earning what you need, to .waste no time in fruitless wishing, but .cast a line for yourself." Instructions to a Jury.?Speaking of Courts, reminds us of a funny instruc? tion said to have been given by a Judge to a jury in?well, we won't say in what State. It runs this wayj "If the iury believe froni'the*evidence that the plaintiff and the defendant were partners in' the grocery, and that the plaintiff bought out the defendant and gave his 'note for the interest, and the defendant paid for the note by delivering the plaintiff a cow, which he warranted 'not breachy,' and the warranty was bro? ken by reason of the breachiness of the cow, and the plaintiff drove her back and tendered her to the defendant, but the defendant refused'to receive her, and the plaintiff took her home again, and puUa heavy yoke or. poke upon her, to prevent her from jumping the fence, and the cow, in attempting to jump the fence, by reason of the poke or yoke, broke her neck and died, and if the jury further believe that the* defendant's interest in the grocery was not worth anything, the plaintiffs note was worthless, and the cow good for n?thiug, either for milk or beef, or for'green hide,' then the jury must find out for themselves how they will decide the case?for the court, if she understands herself, and she'thinks she do, don't know how such a cussed case should be decided." An Important Claim.?Wesley A. Black, Esq., of South Carolina, has lately addressed a letter to Governor Hampton which may lead to important practical benefit to the State, and which furnishes another illustration of the utter incom-. petency and worthlessness of our ex Representative, that hoary headed old sinner) A. S. Wallace. Mr. Black states that when his brother, the late James A. Blactff was Comptroller General of this State, there were claims against the gen err.! government for sums advanced for the public defence, amounting to two hundred i?nd fifty thousand -dollars. These included a claim of ten thousand dollars for equipping and transporting the Palmetto regiment during the Mex? ican war; a bill was introduced into Con? gress just before secession to adjust and pay these claims, and failed to. pass both houses before .the State seceeded. Mr. Black says that he turned the papers re? lating to these claims over to Governor Scott, who gave them to Wallace, then a member of Congress from this District. Of course f his was the end of them at that time. We trust that they will be resurrected, and that immediate steps Will be taken to procure the payment of this just debt due the State with interest. ? He bought a'guitar and practiced for six long, weary months. But at the end of that time a smile of joy lit up his wan and weary face, and his brow'grew " radiant with joy as he inspected the corns on the thumb of his right hand. The hour-was JLO p. m., and he wandered through the stilly night to the boarding house where she lived, and directly under that window which had, been so often sJmctified by her presence, he commenced to toot: (Twang, twang, bim.} "I wan? dered b-i-i the brookside, (kling, clang, boo,) I wandered b-i-i the mill"?and the sash was gently raised with a crash, and a deep bass voice yelled out: "I vish as you fall into your brook off your brook side and trown yourself in dose mill, odor I plow my vxssil and call a politeidiener." It was cruel of her to have changed her room without letting him know. ? The following record of great snow? storms in Connecticut is of interest: Last winter.the first snow-storm occurred No? vember 29, and gave good sleighing for forty-five days in succession. On De? cember, 28,1873, the snow fell twenty two inches deep on a level; also January 19,1867, the snow fell twenty-four inches deep in** Hartford. January 15, 16, and 17,1816, there, was a terrible snow-storm, the snow Jailing four feet deep. On February 19, 20, 21, 1801, the snow, fell five feet deep. The winter of 1741-'42 was famous throughout New England for deep snow and intense cold weather, the first deep snow falling'on the 18th. of November, giving sleighing which lasted until the 20th of April. In February, 1717, occurred the greatest snow-storm ever known in Connecticut, the snow falling ten feet deep on a level. ? Never cast aside your friends- if by any possibility you can re'tain them. We are the weakest of spendthrifts if, we let one. drop off through inattention, or let one push away another, or if we bold aloof from one through petty- jealousy or heedless Slight or roughness. Would you throw away a diamond because it pricked you ? One good friend is not to be weighed against the jewels of the earth. If there is coolness or unkind ness between us, let us come face to face and have it out. Quick, before the love grows cold! Life is too short to quarrel in, or to carry black thoughts of friends. It is easy to l?se a friend, but a new one will not come for calling, nor make up for the old one. ?

The story is told, and it is said to be entirely true, that at the recent dedi? cation of a Baptist Church in this coun? ty, the ceremony of immersion was per? formed for the first time in that church I by a well known Babtist minister of this city. When he had entered the water, and while waiting for the candidate,' the minister suggested that somebody sing an appropriate hymn. One of the deacons who stood near .by heard the suggestion, and without thinking, struck up the familiar hymn, ''Pull for the shore." The hymn- proved' to be so suggestive that neither the minister nor congregation could refrain from an audible smile for ?ome time, and the ceremony had to be postponed until the preacher could recov? er his gravity. ? A man from Honey Lake saw a railroad for the- first time in his life the other day at Reno.

"No, I can't pay you!" exclaimed j he; "sure's I stand here, i haven't got a cent of money to my name 1" And bringing down his hand on the side of 1 his leg, by way of emphasis, he all unin? tentionally awoke the echo of the slum? bering dimes, quarters, and half-dollars in his trousers pocket.
