MISCELLANY Old llcmorlt'i. BY M. L. SI. "I have looked with a lingering love on thc fair atar of childhood."-TUPPER. Why ia ruy ?spirit sad to-day? Oh! why these gushing tears? Mv thoughts arc wandering quite away To scenes of other years; And memory, like a captive bird-, Is fluttering in my breast; Her voice its inmost depths have stirred, And woke each silent guest. And one by one past visions throng Like bidden spectres start While dear old memories, hushed too long, Are whispering in my heart; And time and distance--years forgot, I stand once more a child A happy child, upon thc spot Where life first o*er me smiled; And every sceno that childhood loved Is smiling o'er my view, And every spot where childhood roved Is bright before mo, too. Like ola familiar friends, the trees Thc velvet sod beneath Thc deep green shade of clustering leaves, Fanned by the summer's breath; And "mid the trees, their green arms spread, Thc old house scorns to sleep, Calm as the mermaids' coral bed "Neath the still waves of the deep. Sweet spot! few years as yet have flown In sadness o'er my path. Since there, witli many a loving one, I gathered round thy hearth V, hen every eye thal minc could moot With love's dear lustre shone; And every voice mine ear would greet Wit' love's own gentle tone. They speke of grief that tiniewould bring, Of cares that swiftly come; How soon must youth* its requiem sing, Thov aaid, o'er pleasure's tomb, I heeded not those warnings when The world was yet to me So full of joy and hope as then, I thought it could not bc; And day by day I fondly wove Briffbt dreams of future bliss. And fancied coming years would prove As full of joy as this; But few, bow few, since then have past, With many a grief and care; Yet now I feel how true, alas! Those gentle warnings were. Now other forms and stranger feet Are gathered in that home, And stranger hearts and voices meet Around that old hearthstone. The flowers 'replanted gayly bloom To meet another's gaze, Our roses shed their sweet perfume For other lips to praise, The form, tho ever tender voice-. That blessed our early home; Those lips that bade our hearts rejoice Are hushed within the tomb; In lands a thousand miles away He's sleeping with the dead. And thick the tall green grass, they .say. Waves o'er his narrow In d. My heart is sad, oh! memory cease, The dream of youth is o'er: I weep again; peace, memory, peace, For I can bear no more! From thoughts like these ?ny spirit shrinks, Recall them not r.nain: Thou canst not bind the scattered links Of love's dissevered chain, back to my heart the wanderers cast, There let them oversleep. Where thou, "pale guardian of the past," Thy lonely vigils keep! Schedule Spartanbuxg and Union Railroad.

HERRING A- Co.-GENTLEMEN: Though the destruction of tho American Museum has proved a serious loss to my? self and the public. I am happy to verify thc old adage, that "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," and, consequently, congratulate you that your well known safes have again demonstrated their supe? rior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un? usual severity. The safe you made for me sonic time ago was in the office of the Museum, on thc second floor, back part of thc building, and in the hottest of the fire. After twenty-four hours of trial, it was found among the debris, and on opening it this dav has yielded up its contents in very good order- books,papers, policies of insurance, bank bills, all in condition for immediate use, and a noble commentary on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire? proof Safe.
