THE CONSUMPTIVE. 



No, never more — my setting sun 



Plath sunk his evening rays : 

 And this poor heart is nearly done 



With hope of better days. 

 I feel it in my elay cold hand, 



The hard and fast expiring breath ; 

 For now, so near the tomb I stand, 



1 breathe the dulling airs of death. 



No, never more — it all is vain — 



But O, how Memory leans 

 To see, and liear, and foel again 



Its youth-inspiring scenes ! 

 And deep the sigh that memory heaves. 



When, one by one, they all are fled, 

 As autumn gales, on yellow leaves. 



That winter on their woodland bed. 



No, never more — I may not view 



The summer vale and hill. 

 The glorious heaven, the ocean's blue. 



The forest, dark and still — 

 The evening's beauty, once so dear. 



That hears the glowing thoughts above, 

 When nature seems to lireathe and liear 



The voiceless eloquence of love. 



No, never more — when prisoners wait 



The death-call to their doom. 

 And see, beyond their dungeon gate. 



The scaifold and the tomb. 

 On the fair earth and sun-bright heaven, 



Their gaze how fervently they cast ! 

 So death to life a charm hath given, 



And mode it loveliest at the last. 



No, never more — and now, farewell ! 



The bitter v.'ord is said ; 

 And soon above my green-roofed cell 



The careless foot will tread. 

 My heart hath found its rest above. 



The cares of earth are passing by ; 

 And O, it is a voice of love. 



That whispers — It is time to die ! 



A PIG 



Is a much abused animal. Every untliinking boy 

 worries — and every urchin throws brickbats at 

 them — but tliey go througli the world and put up" 

 with everything with the most cotnmendablo 

 philosopliy. The gourmand, who boasts of his 

 fine taste, and devours pates, omelettes, sauces, 

 and a thousand kinds of meats, is not a whit 

 more luxurious tlian a pig who lies in the mud 

 and water of a long summer's day, and grunts at 

 everyone who goes by him. A pig is like a poli- 

 tician. There is no liole so narrow or so dirty 

 that lie will not creep through, squealing lustily 

 all the while, to get a mouthful of corn from tlie 

 public crib. They live in filth, and it is a second 

 nature to them, and there is another jioint of re- 

 semblance. There is no animal that makes so 

 luucli noise at a trivial mishap — and none that 

 gets over it and goes off quietly, so quickly as a 

 pig. The whole business of their lives is to get 

 fat — and therein they resemble an aldermau. 

 They are more obstinate than a Dutchman, more 

 perverse than a mule — and yet there is a laconic 

 brevity about them in which they have the ad- 

 vantage of editors who write long articles to let 

 the people know that they are on the fence. 



Reader, did you ever drive a pig to market ? If 

 you did, you must have observed how the little 

 squealer ran from side to side of the road, like an 



editor accommodating himself to the humors of 

 his jiatrons. All at once, he would dodge you, 

 and run back with all his might — and if you had 

 a cord to his neck, it was always about your 

 legs. 



Almost every animal in the world goes out of 

 it more decently than a |)ig. He makes as much 

 noise about it as if his life was worth something 

 — and squeals like yengeance till the last minute 

 of his mortal existence. ]u this he is inconsis- 

 tent, for he loses the character of a philosopher, 

 which he has hitherto sujijiorted. He docs in- 

 deed " screw up his courage to the sticking point," 

 but there it fails him. We could never explain 

 to ourselves why a pig should be so terrified at 

 the thoughtsof death. It cannot be that his con- 

 science troubles him, and forces him to set up so 

 dolorous a lamentation. It is as liard to get him 

 to die, as to put truth into the mouth of certain 

 editors. Pigs are true re])ublicans. They under- 

 stand liberty and equality to perfection — they 

 have their rights, and they defend them. They 

 sleep after a true republican fashion — and if one 

 of their brethren undertakes to disturb them of a 

 cold night, they make as woful an outcry as did 

 a neighbor of ours when he lost a "fat job." A 

 pig's whole life is like a farce, and ends in his 

 being hung up by the heels with a stick in his 

 mouth, subject to the orders of the kitchen cabi- 

 net. — Arkansas Advocate. 



Matoaca Manufactdring Company. — We 

 had the pleasure, a few days since, of visiting the 

 works of this Company, situated on the north 

 hank of the .Appomattox, about four miles from 

 Petersburgh, and were no less gratified by the 

 beauty and substantial apppearance of the build- 

 ings than surprised at the expedition with which 

 they have been erected. They consist of two 

 cottop mills, 3 stories high, a machine shop and 

 sizing house, built of granite of a superior qual- 

 ity, obtained from a quarry on the Company's 

 land. The principal mill is 118 feet long by 44 

 feet wide ; the other 90 feet long by 40 feet wide. 

 They will contain about 4000 spindles and 170 

 looms, a large portion of which have been set up 

 and ready for use. 



In addition to these buildings, the Companv 

 have erected a granite house for a store, and 

 fifteen or twenty frame tenements, as residences 

 for the workmen, each to contain two families: 

 and preparations have been made to erect as many 

 more as the establishment may require. When 

 the whole shall be completed, and the mills in 

 full operation, it is estimated that Matoaca wid 

 contain between 400 and 500 inhabitants. It had 

 already assumed tlie appearance of a village, and 

 will, in a short time vie with any manufacturing 

 establishment in the country for beauty of situa- 

 tion, the substantial construction of its buildings, 

 and the care and attention bestowed on the com- 

 fortable accommodation of the workmen. 



It is expected to put the works in operation 

 early in the next month, and we understand that 

 it is the intention of the Company to manufac- 

 ture all the cotton spun in their mills into cloth. 



Matoaca furnishes another gratifying evidence 

 of the enterprise of our fellow citizens, and of 

 the increasing prosperity of Petersburgh. We 

 have now (in addition to the several well known 

 flour mills) five cotton, and two cottou seed oil 

 mills; and there remains a large unemployed 

 water power on the Appomattox. — Pet. Int.
