LIFE.

We are born I'VE laugh /; we weep;
We love; we droop; we die!
All! wherefore do we laugh, or weep
Why do we live or die
Who knows that secret tdeepf
Alas, not II
Why doth the violet spring
Unseen by human eye7
Why do the radiant seasons bring
Sweet thoughts that quickly ay.
Why do our fond hearts cling
To things that die
We tol,-through pain and wrong.
We fight and ay;
Welove we loose; and then, ere long.
Stone dead we lie.
o Life! is all thy song,
Endure-and die

Spend the sultry hour OF play,
While the nymphs and swans courting,
Seated on the new made hay.

While the vivid lightning flies
Fastening TO the nearest cover,
Clasp their hands before their eyes

Seated on the shady grass

THE SOLDIER FRIENDS.

The two friends parted at city by the rolling OF
the majestic Ohio. They were both enlisted under
the banner of their country.
One mounted his charger, and sped on to the will
derness of Arkansas. Brave was The soldler-boy,
and high were his attanments in the learning OF
college. On and on he rode his soul rejoiced IN
the brosd luxuriance Of Mississippi's vale. The
gallant courser bounded on with the leetness of an
Arab and the buoyant soldier urged his speed as he
neared his post.
| But who is he that lies upon the ground in pur-
pie gore The flush of life has scarcely faded, and
the boysh grasp yet to hold The reins OF the
bounding steed. The seed has rushed on, and Is
hidden in the thick corpse. The fortress of Gibson
is near, but what avais it that friends within
hail? The child of the sword is low for ever; the
Short thick sob alone issues from his lips the llyd
eye-bals roll in their sockets, but the sense, that
high gift to man, the soul is gone. The frame is
sfening, while the heart is yet warm, The coura-
geous in mind, the gentle in soul, has left the
Of his friends repose for the bosom of his
mother.
In the brightest city of Atlantic America, at
desk, is his companion in arms and friendship And
as he writes, he stops and leans his head upon his
hand and the unwilling tears blot his letter. He
has written of his friend that is os and thus the
words on the page:
Sleep, youthful soldier Though the body sum-
bers the Arkansas solitary bank, thou wilt long
live in the hearts of thy comrades
Upon a couch, in a darkened room, lay him that
had wept the death of his friend, and by his side
was creature of beauty and love. She was the
bride of his YOUTH and few the months that had
passed since she had twined her life with his. The
tolls of war had wasted his form, and for him was
there return of life. He murmured in whispered
accents, as he asked song from lips that he
loved and though upon her breast she pressed her
small fingers if to keep the heart from breaking,
her voice warbed on the of the dying, with the
clear notes of the bird of melody. The music
not of earth, and these the few words that met
mine ear:
BY thine hour of dark despair,
BY thine agony of prayer
BY thy triumph DER the grave,
BY the power from death to save

| The song was hushed at a breath-the wasted
nerves sprang to the embrace of death, and both
friends gone. But the shrek of young-g girl
widowhood rang thro' the soul till its vibrations were
agonizlng.

party of about 100 young gentlemen and ladies,
belonging to Sudbury, assembled for a Ball at a
public house in that town, when young men
from birmingham came to the same house in a
sleigh and intruded themselves into the Hall, and
becoming rude and noisy, were ordered by the
managers to leave the room, which they did,
but soon returned armed with heavy clubs and
commenced general assault upon the compa-

company, the fairer portion flying in all direc-

After bloody battle of thirty minutes, in
which the principal Musician received a blow
which has probably manned him for life, the orr

seeking their safety by jumping from the win
