GOD BLESS YOU.

A reply to Lines, by Nettie, of Savannah. Ga.

BY CAKRIE BULL SINCLAIR,

God bless you, Nettie! darling one,And though we ne'er have met,

There is a stranger heart to-d-

That never will forget!Would I could gaze into your eyo.

And clasp niv hand in thineTogether o'er that soldier grave

Tho sweet spring flower entwine.

Clod bless you for the promise sweot,To bend above the brave,

And twine a laurel wreath for meOn soldier Willie's grave;

' To wreathe within that offeringThe tribute of your tears,

That I may bless you for them allIn weary .after years.

Thank God that Azrael spared in warThe fond heaits that you love!

That you've no soldier grave to dayTo twine fair flowers above!

Thank God that o'er no. dear one's tomb"You weep that bitter tear

That at your hearth there standiJVo loved one's vacant cliairl

That you have met them all again"A still unbroken band;"

Yet not unmindful of the braveWho perished for our land;

You tell nie on Our Willie's gravtYou'll wreathe a garland fair.

And weep lor those who cannot twineLove's holy offering there!

Ood bless you! if the heart could breatheFor thee a fonder prayer;

Or if the lips could breathe a wishMore holy and sincere;

If sweeter words of love and truthThe mortal tongue could frame,

I'd utter all the soul could feelIn blessings on thy name!

God Mens youl they are simple wordsliutoh! how fond and true!

And such my heart will ever breathe,Nettie, my friend, for you;

And dearer "far than honeyed word,This little song of mine;

I know you'll prize the offeringOf-- friendship at your shrine.

I love the skies that smile aboveMy own dear forest home!

. And would that from its silent shadesMy feet might never roam;

But fate is harsh sometimes, you know,Such has it been to me;

And I no more can call my homeThe one that shelters thee.

But ah! that spot will ever beThe dearest to my heart;

And time and change can never rendThese sacred ties apart!

And it would fill my soul indeedWith anguish and with pain,

If I could dream I ne'er would treadThose well known paths again.

And 'tis my wish that If In life"No more those walks I tread,

That I may slumber on her breastWhen I am pale and dead.

Within the shades of Laurel QrovetHow sweetly I could sleep,

If those I love would sometimes stand .

Around my grave and weep!

And oh! if friendly hands will wreatheThe summer blossoms there;

And those 1 love, above the spot,Will drop affection's tear;

Methinks that I could calmly takeThat long and dreamless rest,

With skies I love the best above,And pale flowers on my breast!

So, Nettie, darling, if, some day,You stand beside my tomb,

While all around the summer flowersAre shedding their perfume;

Oh, when above some other graveSweet flowers are wreathed by thee,

Then, Nettie, let your baud entwine4. garland there for me!

Augusta, Ga., April, 1867.

THE RUINS OF TYRE.

All that now remains of the once-celebrat-

city of Tyre, which on oneoccasion was visited by our Savior, andwhere Paul lauded on his way from

- Miletus to Jerusalem" is now, accord-ing to prophecy, a mere "place for thespreading of nets in the sea." It wasthe principal city of Phoenicia, and themost celebrated emporium of the an-cient world.

Tyre is situated on the southeastcoast 5f the Mediterranean, and wasfounded by a colony from Sidon, themost ancient of the Phoenician cities.The date of this event is not certainlyknown but Larcher supposes il to havebeen 1690 years before the Christianera. Ihe prophets Isiah, Jeremiah, andEzekiel, w ho flourished from 700 to 600years before Christ, represent Tyre as acity of unrivaled wealth, whose "mer-chants were princes, and her traffickersthe honorable of the earth." Original-ly the city ivas bnilt on the mainland;but having been besieged for a length-ened period by the Babylonian mon-arch, Nebuchadnezzar, the inhabitantsconveyed themselves and their goodsto an island at a little distance, whereanew city was founded, which enjoyedan increased degree of celebrity andcommercial prosperity. The old citywas on that account, entitled Palastyre,and the other simply Tyre. The newcity continued to flounsh, extendingits colonies and its commerce on allsides, till" it was attacked by Alexanderthe Great. The resistance made by theTyrians to that conqueror showed thatthey had not been enervated by luxury,and that their martial virtues werenowise inferior to" their commercialkill and enterprise. The overthrow

of the Persian Empire was a less diffi-cult task than the capture of this singlecity, which wag not effected till amound had been carried from the mainland to the island on which it was built.The victor had not magnanimity totreat the vanquished as their heroicconduct derserved. In despite, how-ever, of the cruelties inflicted on thecity, she rose again to considerable em-inence. But the foundation of Alexan-dra, a by diverting the commerce thathad formely centered at Tyre into anew channel, gave her an irreparableblow; and she gradually declined, till,consistly with the denunciation of theprophet, her palaces have been leveledwith the dust, and she has become "aplace for the spreading of nets in themidst of the sea."

The commerce and navigation ofTyre probably attained their maximumfrom 650 to 550 years b. c. At that pe-riod the Tyrians wrrr twlijtnrn andmerchants of the civil ?rld; anathey enjoyed an uridr7ed

in maiitime affairs. The proph-et Ezekiel (chap, xxvii) has described,in magnificent terms, the glory of Tyre;and has enumerated several of the mostvaluable productions found in her mar-kets, and the countries whence theywere brought. The fir-tre- of Senir(Hermon), the cedars of Lebanon, theoaks of Kreshan (to country east ofGalilee), the ivory of the Indies, thefine linen of Egypt and the pui Dle andhyacinth of the isles of Elishah (Pel-oponnesus), are specified among thearticles used for her ships. The inhab-itants of Sidon, Arvad (Aradus), Geb-e- l

(Byblos), served her as mariners andcarpenters. Gold, silver, lead, tin,iron, and vessels of brass: 6laves, horses,mules, sheep and goats; pearls, preciousstones, and coral; wheat, balm, honey,oils, spices and gums; wine, wool andsilks; are mentioned as being broughtllltft tbi nni't nf Two Viv coo . rt i

markets by land, from Syria, Arabia.Damascus, Greece, Tarahish, and otherplaces, the exact .cite of which it is dif-ficult to determine.

Such, according to the inspiredwriter, was Tyre, the "Queen of theWaters," before she was besieged byNebuchadnezzar. But as has been al-ready remarked, the result of that siegedid not affect her trade, which was assuccessfully and advantageously car-ried on from the new city as from theold.

Nor were the Phoenicians celebrated

only for their wealth, and the extent oftneir commerce ana navigation, llieirfame and their right to be classedamongst those who have conferred thegreatest betiefits on mankind, rest on astill more unassailable foundation.Antiquity is unanimous in ascribingto them the invention and practice ofall those art, science and contrivancesthat facilitate the prosecution of com-mercial, undertakings. They are heldto be the inventors of arithmetic,weights and measures, of money, ofme art oi keeping accounts, and, nvshort, of everything that belongs to thebusiness of a counting-hous- e. Theywero also famous for the invention ofship-buildi- and navigation; for thediscovery of glass; for their manufac-tories of fine linen and tapestry; fortheir skill in architecture, and in theart of working metals and ivory; andstill more for the incomparable splen-dor and beauty of their purple dye.

But the invention and disseminationof these highly usefu larts form but apart of what the people of Europe oweto theT'lioenichms. It is) not possibleto say in,what degree the religion ofthe Greek was borrowed from theirs;but that it was to a pretty large extent,seems abundantly certain. Hercules,under the nams of Melcarthus, was thetutelar doity of Tyre; and his expedi-tious along the shores of the Meditara-uea- n,

and to the straits connecting itwith the ocean, seem to be merely apoetical representation of tho progressof the Phoenician navigators, who in-

troduced arts and civilization, and es-

tablished the worship of Hercules,wherever they went. The templeerected in honor of the god at Gadeswas long regarded with peculiar ven-eration.

The Greeks were, however, indebtedto the Phoenicians, not merely for.thtsrudiments of civilitation, but for thegreat instruments of its future progress

the gift of letters. No fact in .an-cient history is better established thanthat a knowledge of alphabetic writingwas carried to Greece by Phoenicianadventures, and it may be safely affirm-- 'ed that this was the greatest boon anypeople ever received at the hands ofanother.

The Temple of Solomon owed itscurious workmanship and costly mag-nificence to materials, artisans andwealth drawn from the same source.The principal artificer ef-th- e templewas a native of Tyre, a man "skilled towork in gold, and in silver, in brass, iniron, in stone, and in timber, in purple,in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to grave every manner ofgraving."

When Solomon began to engage innavigation, "Hiram sent in the navy hisservants, shipmen that had knowledgeof the sea, with the servants of ."

Her ships went out on threeyears' voyagas to Tarshish, supposedto be the southwesteren part of Spain.

Much of the island is now naked, "aplace to spread nets upon." The. wes-tern shore is a ledge of rugged rocks,fifteen or tweety feet high, againswhich "the waves of the Mediterraneandash in ceasless surges." This shore isstrewed, from one end to the other,with col umnsof red aiyl gray graniteof various sizes, the only remainingmonument of the splendor of ancientTyre. At the northwest point of theisland, forty or fifty such columns arethrown together iu- - one heap, beneaththe waves.

The downfall and permanent desola-tion of Tyre is one of the most memor-able accomplishment of prophecywhich the annals of the world exhibit.

From Bow Bells.

Let the l"norrlvins: Fear,

A soldier, whose regiment lay in agarrison town in England, was broughtbefore his commanding officer for someoffence. He was an old offender, andhad been often punished. "Here he isagain," said the officer, on his name be-

ing mentioned; "everything flogging,disgrace, imprisonments has been triedwith him."

Whereupon the sergeant stepped for-ward and, apologizing for the libertyhe took, said:

"There is one thing which has neverbeen done with him vet sir."

"What is that, sir?" was the answer."Well, sir, said the sergeant, "he has

never been forgiven.""Forgiven!" exclaimed the Colonel,

surprised at the suggestion.He reflected for a few moments, or-

dered the culprit to be brought in, andasked him what he had to say to thecharge.. "Nothing sir," was the reply, "only Iam sorry for what I have done."

Turning a kind and pitiful look onthe man, who expected nothing elsethan hii punishmeut would be increas-ed with the repetition of his oftence,the colonel addressed him, saying,"Well, we have decided to forgive youl"

The soldier was struck dumb withastonishment; the tears started in hiseyes, and he wept like a child. He washumbled to the dust; he thanked hisofficer and retired; to be the old refrac-tory, incorrigible man? No! he wasanother man from that day forward.He who tells the story had him foryears under his eyes, and a better con-ducted man never wore the Queen'scolors. In him kindness bent onewhom harshness could not break: hewas conquered by mercy, 'and, forgiv-en, ever afterwards feared to offend.

"When I first married my wife," saida fond husband, "I loved her so muchthat I could have eaten her; and now,"he added, with a sigh, "I wish to heavenI had."

In a history of plants, the author no-tices the virtue of hemp thus laconical-ly; "By this cordage ships are guided,bells are rung, and rogues are kept inaw el'

Washington was wont to say, "Becourteous to all, but intimate with few,and let these few be well tried beforeyou give them your confidence."

Pride in a woman destroys all symmetry and grace; and afi'ectation is amore terrible enemy to a fine face thanthe small poi.

Du Dhaillu says that when he remon-strated with the Africans for their in-temperance they replied: "Look at thegorilla; he drinks water.'--'

He who admits that he has a secret tokeep has by so doing revealed one halfof it, and the other will soon follow.
