THE DYING GIRL. My mother, look not on me now, With that sad, earnest eye; Blame me not, mother blame not thou My heart's last wish to die. I cannot wrestle with the strife 1 once had heart to bear; And it' I yield a youthful strife. Full hath it been of eare. Nay, weep not ! on my brow is set The age of grief not tears; lis furrows thou mayest mildly wet. But ne'er wash out with tear. And couldst thou see my weary heart. Too weary cv'n to sigh. 0 ! mother, mother, thou wonldst start. And say 'twere best to die. I know 'tis summer on the earth. I hear a pleasant tune Of waters, in their charming mirth, 1 feel the breath of June. The roses through thy lattice look, The bee sails singing by. Tlie peasant takes his pruning hook, Yet. mother, let me die ! There's nothing in this time of flowers, That hath a voice for me; The whispering leaves, the sunny hours, The younff. the glad, the free. There's nothing but thy own deep love, And that will live on high; ThM' mother, when my heart's above, Kind mother ! let me die.

Tears. There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power. They speak more eloquently- than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, of unspeakable love. If there were wanting any argument to prove that man is mortal, I would
look for it m the strong convulsive emotions cf
the breast when the soul has been deeply agitated; when thc fountains of feeling are rising, and tears are gushing forth in crystal streams. Oh, speak not harshly of the stricken one weeping in silence! IJieak not the solemnity
by rude laughter or intrusive footsteps. De
spise not woman's tears they are what make her an angel. Scoff not if tho stern heart is sometimes melted to tears of sympathy; they are what help to elevate him above the brute. I love to see tears of affection. They arc painful tokens, but still most holy. There is a pleasure in tears, an awful pleasure! If there were none on earth to shed a tear forme, I should be loth to live, and if no one might weep over my grave, I could never die in peace. Dr. Johnson.

where the steam had no injurious effect. He states that several persons jumped overboard, and that one of them as drowned. The boat immediately settled in the water until her hull rested on the bottom of the river. In the centre and forward part of the boat there was a fearful destruction of life and limb. Some of those on board were blown high in the air and fell on shore, in the water, and on the boats ly ing nearby. Others were crushed with
thc sp;intered timbers; others scalded with the
steam; while those below the decks, not havin"
time to escape, were either suffocated by the steam cr drowned when the boat sunk. When we reached the scene of desolation we found a large number of persons, among whom were several physicians, busily engaged in endeavoring to nss:st the injured, and carrying away those who were dead or dying. So great was thc confusion that prevailed, and so little was known as to the number and names of the persons on board, that no complete account could be obtained.

butter, or any kind of fresh crease, that 13 not

cloth should be torn into stripes before puttinc

fully applied, so as to perfectly cover all the
burnt part. No other application is required
until the patient is well, except to apply fresh

All Manner of Travelling. A traveller
writinii from Illinois, states that in getting to
the place of his destination, he experienced all kinds of po-aheaditiveness. In the first place,
he took a steamboat in the second the rail
road the third a mail coach the fourth rode on horseback the fifth went six miles on foot to Terre-H ante and was finally rode out the villasre on a rail. He says he don't know which
to prefer out of the six: but thinks the latter
method is unquestionably the cheapest, though
its accommodations are the most wreicneu.
From thc K. ( Trim.) Itrsrittcr, of April. 6. A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. Urntal murder and incendiarism in Cocke County, Xetrport. One of the most horrid outrages that it has ever, been our lot to record, was perpetrated in the neighboring county of Cocke, about six or seven miles from the town of Newport, just before daybreak on thc morning of Wednesday, the 30lh ult. The particulars, as they have reached us, are briefly as follows. A negro boy named Bill, owned by Mr John Thomas, armed with a
large axe, proceeded to the chamber where his master and mistress were sleeping, and attacked and mamrled them in a most shocking
manner.cuttintrthe arm & breast of the woman
iiul breaking the arm of the man in two places,
md inflicting numerousother wounds, of which
l oth, it is thought will die. He then dclibe-
ratelys ct fire to the dwelling hoe.se, stable, and all theoutbuildincs.
A near neighbor, named Benson, alarmed,
bv the noise and thc burning buildings, was
hastening to thc house, when Bill met him and despatched him with the axe which he still re
tained posres: ion cf cul'JThi head and thrar his biHi!t into thc burning lam!
By this time a considerable number of the
neighbors had assembled. Bill, however, suc
ceeded in keeping them all at bay ith his axe, until a gun was procured, m hen be was shot
and thus disabled from fiti thur resistance. He was then seized and bound, and taken to New
port where he was lodged in jail. Our correspondent informs us that this same blood thirsty villain was owned a short time since by a Mr. Wyley, of Blount county, and while in his possession murdered a fellow serant by cutting oil" his head. He was brought to trial at the time but was acquitted 011 the plea ol insanity. Thank Heaven, such horrible deeds are of unfrequcnt occurrence in East Tennessee. "We loam from another source that both Mr. Thomas and his wife have since died of their horrible wounds.

Fatal Accident. Thc son of Mr. Franklin Booe, living in this county, was killed on last Monday, w hile assisting his Father to roll saw logs upon his wagon.
