EPIeRAas.--An epigram should never
be extended to eight lines. Four lines
ought to be the ne plus altra--if only two
SO much the better. Here is one uttered
by an old gentleman, whose daughter A
rabella importu1ed him for money
"Dear Bell, to gain money, sure silence is pest
For DUN bells are fitsest to open the chest"
Another, on a lady wearing the min
iature Of an unworthy person around her
neck
".Whatl hang from the neck Of lady !
cries Bill,
Were ever such folly and impudence known
Asto hanging, indeed, he may hang where he
will.
But as 10 the neck let il be BY bis own ,,
Another by Dr.. Dcnner, sent with a
couple Of ducks to q. patient.
"Pve despatched, dear Madam, this scrap Of a
letter,
To say that Miss Blank is very much better
Aregular doctor no longer she lacks:
And therefore I've sent her couple Of
quacks."
Another by disconsolale husband up
on the death Of bis wife.
. Two bones from my body have taken trip,
I've buried my rib, and got ndof my Hyp."
And the other, BY the friend ofo gem
tleman'who was cxpectlngthe decease Of
+. bis.
Bfuiua, unmoved, heard how. his Portia fell
Should Jacks wife die, he would behave al
well"

BY J. PIERPoNT.
Was Il the chime ola tiny bell,
That came so sweet to my dreaming. ear
Lake the silvc ry tones of fairy's shell
That be winds on the beach, SO mellow and
clear.
When thevinds and the waves. lie together
And the Moon and the Fairy are watching the
deep,
She dispensing her silvery light,
And he, his notes as silyery quite,
While the boatman listens and ships his oar,
To catch the music that comesfrom the shore!
Hark benotes, on my ear that play,
Areset to words las they float, they say,
Passing away passing awayp
But no; it was net a fairy's shell,
Blown on the beach, so mellow and clear;
Nor was Il the tongue Of silver bell,
Striking the hour, that filed my ear,
As lay in my dream ;-yet was tia chime
That told Of The flow Of the stream of time.
For beautiful clock from the ceiling hung, =
And plump little girl for pendulum swung,
Gas you've sometimes seen, in little ring
That hangs IN his cage, Canary bird swing)
And she he'd 10 her bosom abudding bouquet,
And, a. she enjoyed it, she seemed to say,
"Passing'awayr passing awayl"
q, how bright were the wheels, thattold
OF the lapse Of time as they moved round
slow
And the hands, as they swept Ger the. dial Of
gold,
Seemed to pointto the girl below.
And 10 she had changed: in a few short hours
Her bouquet bad become garland OF flowers,
That she held in her outstretched hands, and
flung
This way and that, as she, danciE4, swung
In the fulness Of grace and Of womanly pride,
That told me she soon was to be bride -
Yet then, when expecting Der happiest day,
In the same sweet voice Iheard her saw,
/" Passing away! passing wayl"
While Igazed at that fair ones cheek, shade
Ofthought, or care. stole softly over,
Like that bya cloud in a.sammer's day made,
Looking down on a field Of blossomng clo-
The rose yet lay ON her cheek, but It's flush
Had something lost of its brilliant blush
And the light IN her eye, and thelight on the
wheels,
That marched so calmly round above her,
Was little dimmed, las when Evening steals
Upon Moons hot face.--Yet one couldn't
but love her,
FOR she looked like mother whose first babe
lay
Rocked on her breast as she swung al day -
And she seemed in the same silver tone to say
passing away passing away ;"
While yet looked whata change there cam
Iler eye was quonched, and her cheek wa
wan
Stepping and stated was her withered frame
Yet, Just as busily, swung she on
The garland beneath her bad fallen to dust;
The wheels above her were eaten with rust
The hands, that over the dial swept,
Grew crooked and furnished. but on they kel
And still there came that silver tone
From the shriveIled lips Of the toothless crol
(Let me never forget till my dying day
The tone or burden other lay,--)
Passing away passing away ;"
