est-torn

But there's a lighthouse for the soul
That beacons to a stormless home ;
It safely guides through roughest tides ;
It shines, it saves ! " Thy Kingdom come !

To gaze upon the lov'd in death
To mark the clos

g beamless eye,
To press dear lips and find no breath—

This—this is life's worst agony

But God, too merciful, too wise -
To leave the lorn one in despair,

Whispers, while snatching those we prize.
"My Kingdom come!" Ye'll meet themthere

As bold as an eagle—as mild as a dove ;
As true as the moon—as fickle as love.
As proud as a peacock—as round as a pea ;
As blythe as a lark—as brisk as a bee.
As light as a feather—as sure as a gun ;
As green as a leek—as brown as a bun.
As rich as a Jew—as warm as a toast;
As cross as two sticks—as deaf as a post.
As sharp as a needle—as strong as an ox ;

As grave as a judge
As old as the hills-
As still as the gray

—as strait as a dart

as swift as a hart

As solid as marble—as firm as a rock;
As soft as a plum—as thick as a block.
As pale as a lily—as blind as a bat ;
As white as a shirt—as black as my hat.
As yellow as gold—as red as a cherry ;
As wet as the river—as brown as a berry.
As plain as a pikestaff—as big as a house;
As flat as the table—as sleek as a mouse.
As tall as the steeple—as round as a cheese ;
As broad as 'tis long—aslong as you please.

The contents of this number are similar to what has al-
ready appeared in Ilentley. We find in it the account of the
dinner at Mrs. Fay's ; the coroner's inquest on the apothe-
ary M‘Garry ; and Handy's taking refuge in his mother's
All these circumstances are told in an inimitable
style, perfectly original, and lively in the extreme. The il-
lustrations are excellent : the figure of Oonah in the first is
sweetly sketched. This publication will take a firm hold

upon the public favon

commences with a story called " The Miser's Daughter,"
with two illustrations. We are glad to find Mr. Tupper a
contributor. His work entitled " Proverbial Philosophy "

one of the cleverest and most imaginative books of the day.
