TEN YEARS AGO.


Thy cheek of rose is blooming yet
Though sometimes stained by secret tears
But where, oh where's the spirits glow,
That shown through ail-ten years ago
!, too, am chaneed-I scarce know why
Can feel each tagging pulse decay;
And youth, and health and visions high,
Melt like wreath of snow away.
Time cannot sure have wrought the ILL
Though worn in this worlds sick'ning strife.
In soul and form, linger still
In the first summer month of life
Yet journey on my path below.
Oh how unlike--ten years ago
Blu, icUk not thus-I would not give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share,
To bid those joyou, hours revive
When all around me seemed SO fair
We've wanderd on in sunny weather.
when winds were low, and flowers in bloom
Aud hand in hand have kept together,
And still will keep, mid storm and gloom;
Endeared by ties We could not know
When life was young-ten years ago!
Has fortune frown'd Her frowns were vain,
For hearts like ours she could not chill.
Have friends proved false7 Their love might
wane,
But ours grew fonder, frmer still
Twin barks on this worlds changing wave,
Steadfast 10 calms, in tempests tried
In concert still our fate we'll brave,
Together cleave lfes flful tide
,b,t A.
Youths first wild drcams--ten years ago
Have we not knelt beside his bed
And watched cur first born blossom die 7
Hoped, till the shade or hope had fed,
And wept, till feelings fount was dry7
Was il not sweet, in that dark hour,
To think, mid mutual tears and sishs,
Our bud has left its earthly bower,
And burst to bloom in Paradise
What, to that ,hcughr, chat soothed that woe,
Were heartess joys-teu years ago1
Yes, it is sweet, when heaven is bright.
To share its sunny beams with thee;
But sweeter far, mid clouds and blight,
To have thee near to weep with me.
Then dry those tears-tho' something changd
From what we were in early youth
Time, that hath hopes and friends estranged
Hath left us love in all its truth
Sweet feelings we would not forego
For ife's best joys-ten years ago.
PEW TALK AND CHURCH SCANDAL.
That tall young fellows here to day!
wonder what's his namei
Ills eyes are fixed upon our pew
Do look at Sally Dame.
Who is that lady dressed in grcenf
X can't be Mrs. Lcech;
There's Mrs. Jones with Deacon Giles,
Iwonder if he'll preach
Lend me your fan. i, is so warm
We both will sit to prayers;
Mourning becomes the widow Ames-
How Mary's bonnet fares.
Do look a, Nancy Slsper's veil;
It's full breadth tso wide;
Iwonder if Susannah Ayres
Appears to-day as bride
Lord what voice Jane Rice mas got'
OH how that organ roars!
I'm glad we've left the singers seats
How hard MISS johnson snores.
What ugly shaws are those in font1
Did you observe Ann Widi
Her new straw bonnet's trimm'd with black
lguess she's los, child.
I'm half asleep-that Mr. Jones,
His sermons are so long;
This afternoon we'll stay at homo
And practice that new song.

VALUE OF ADvERTrslNG-Somep publishers says
the author Of the Great Metropolis" are OF opinion
that it were to ircur an unnecessary expenditure Of
money to advertise book which sells without ad-
verising. This is error; for il will always be
found that il book sells well without advertising, II
would have twice the sale if literally advertised.
The sum usually expended by spirited publishers in
London in advertising interesting books, is about
GlO0 (Siii) The best proof Of the beheGcialei
of advertising is 10 be found in he fact, that those
houses which have once begun the pracuce Of liberal
adverlisinc invariably continue il, The amount of
money which some Of the larger houses in London
expend in advertising their works in The course OF
the year, is little short Of G5000 Cover 22O0oO
g-r What do some Of our toriiy-dollar subscribers
think Of this1 These facs apply to all kinds Of bu
siness, and if the "penny wise and pound foolish"
would only throw out little more bait for advers-
ing they would find would contribute toward fill
Ing their Golfer, more rapidly than under the system
of occasional advertising.
