No SHAM. A sailor coming off his cruise
with his pocket full Of prize money, admired
the Admiral's velvet waistcoat so much, that
nothing could satisfy him until he had one
made for himself of the, very same stuff
He accordingly enquired for the Admiral's
tailor. of whom he went to bespeak his
waistcoat. The tailor, after having taken
his measure, asked him what he should
make the back of. "Why of the same
stuff to he sure!" quoth Jack. IT'S not
usual, quoth the tailor, to make the back of
those rich waistcoats of the same stuff with
the front the Admiral had the back of his
made of common cloth. "No matter for
that, (says jack make mine ALL velvet I'll
have no sham about me-" Soon after when
Jack had got his waistcoat on, he met the
Admiral in the street; but instead of taking
off his hat flor which he felt himself too
great he held his coat lappets up with one
hand, and with the other he clapped his
back" No sham here, Admiral no sham
about me stem and stern both alike, by
Jings!"

saw two clouds at morning,
Hinged with the rising sun,
And In the dawn they hoated on,
And mingled into one;
thought that morning cloud was blest,
III moved so sweetly to the west
saw two summer currents
Flow smoothly to their meeting,
And join their course with silent force,
In peace each other greeting;
Calm was their course through banks of
green,
While dipping eddies play'd between.
such be your gentle motion,
Til lfe's last pulse shall beat,
Like summers beam, and summers stream,
Float on in joy, to meet
calm sea, where storms shall cease
q purer sky, where all is peace.

MY FUTURE LOT.

know, that now the stormy wave
OEtime is urging me along,
No JOIN the tenants of the grave,
And mingle in the. countless thronr
OF those, whose homefs where the lucid ray
Has never shone, save on their burial day.
But whether this cold form shall rest
Beneath some peaceful church-yard willow,
Or whether DER my silent breast,
Shall sound the dashings of the billow,
Is all unknown,-nor would seek to know
What heaven has wisely hid from all below.
And whether, in its early prime,
My sun of; life shall sink in night,
Or far adown the sky of time,
Pour its dim beams of trembling lipht.
Is not for me to know, till death reveals
The many mysteries which life conceals.
And whether those, who love me now
Shall weep around my dying bed,
Or, one by one, successive bow
!, Beneath the stroke of death, till shed,
Drop after drop, are all affections tears,
Remains to be revealed by future years.
! know, that while linger here,
If longer life to me be given,
These eyes will SIZED full many tear,
This heart with many'a grief be riven :
10 float upon smooth and stormless sea,
l know, is not the life assigned for me-.
But when or where those woes will rise
10 cloud the days that hasten on
Whether upon MY evening skies,
Or ere the glow of life is gone,
| cannot tell enough for me to know,
Gnerring wisdom marks my lot below.
Enough for me to know, that while
The storms of time around me roll,
Or natures soft and gentle smile
Sheds its sweet influence DER my sonl
There is hand that leads the wanderer on,
Even from ifes earliest hour till it's last sun has
shone.
And when the voice of death shall call
With its deep. thrilling tones for me,
And round me the funereal pail
Shall throw its sable drapery,
The hand of God will mark my resting place,
And rule each scene that waits around my clos
ing days. c. A. R.

TIME.

Time has woodworking power,
And changes all beneath the sun,
Vicissitudes through every hour
Through every moment run;
Nor fame, nor wealth, nor pride, nor force,
Can change, arrest, or speed its course.
Time, DER the infant that appears,
In baby hood so sweet to-day,
Shall bring and leave weight of years,
And bear that weight away,
Leaving no traces ON the scene,
Or only this-that he has been
Time shall impress obivion's seal,
On many records of the brave;
And Time hath mysteries to reveal,
Like secrets from the grave,
When men and ages yet unborn,
Antiquity's dark path have worn.
Time will the truest friendship prove;
Changes, confirms, or marks the fall;
Time is the genuine test of love
That knows no change at all
But friendship, generous, pure, sublime,
And love, true love, improves with Time.
Time wings the seasons in their flight
Measures even from Creations birth
Both life and death, and day and night,
AND all things upon Garth
Sun, moon, and stars are set to be,
Times way-may through eternity.
Time brings the increase of the world,
Fills up each chasm made by death;
And while from life are millions hurled,
Gives other millions breath;
Kindles aspiring manhood's fires,
And quells the vigor of its sres.
Time through the gayest breast may fling
A poisen'd, barb'd, unerring dart
Time may extract Affections sting,
Fen from the saddest heart;
Pour balm into wounds at length,
And clothe the spirit with new strength.
Time will impair the youth if young,
If old, will soon by age decay;
On Time all hopes, all fears are hung,
o, then be wise to-day,
For time, which changed all things before,
Thy state shall fix to change no more.

In reviewing life of seventy years, the question naturally arises, how much ofthatfe has been happyl It is answered without a computation: and how wide ly does the amount differ, from what the antcipations of youth had led to expect! Childhood and youth
 manhood and old age, though they may each have their charms and endearments are nevertheless de- void of happness The ofchildhood the little sports and unresraned gaiey Ofthat careless period
 had indeed charm to which submitted with un- feigned pleasure. But even these short lived phan- toms ofhapPiness were not unaIloyed. Innumerable difficulties often encircled in my thOughtless derngs; triing disappointments continually re-
 curing and, in short, nothing satisfying. Youth, that period when the young mind seizes with eager ness on the countless occasions which alurngly pro-
 mise exquisite happiness: when the imagination, un- fetered by experience fOndy pictures to itself of hlssful enjoyment in unruRied prosperity; and
