Oh, thou great head ofearth and heaven,
Who dost the bowling tempest ride,

Be thou the Printers friendly guide,
When ere thy azure book expands,

The pork of thy eternal hands;
Great sovereign of eternal light.
With Heavens effulgont type. serene
The beautious rainbow's cheering ray,
Imprint upon his soul the scene,
That opens in celestial day.
And when his earthly Wondering form,
Ia locked in deaths close icy chase,
Oh! saw his spirit ffsm the storm
That hurls the vicious from thy face.
And oh. when thy last trump shall sound,
And bid the slumbering dust arise,
May he be in the columns found
That form the pages of the skies.

Alas! How Soon tho Heart FOrscts
BY C. C. EASTMAN.
Alas. how soon the heart forgets
It's deepest, widest pain:
Tho tear an hour the eye-lid vets
And all is joy again;
Still rushes on the tide ofmcn,
As though the past had nevor been.
A year, one year is scarcely gone,
Since, in the yellow fall,
We heaped the frozen clay upon
The dearest of them all;
And now. alas. as 'twere a dream,
The memory of that doth SEEM.
She was our life but yester morn,
And BY her tombstone now,
We sing and plant the yellow corn,
And drive the %furrcwing plough,
As gay as if beneath that stone
We're sleeping one we'd never known.

The Parsons DOT

The following, though an old story.
will not be less amusing:
The Rev. Nj. F., of Con.
necticut, was a whole souled and OBJ
liging a He would deny his
neighbors nothing in the way of &C.
cemmodation, which in conscience
they could ask. But as a sort of off.
set, it was limited that he claimed a
return in the good graces of certain
Of the wives and daughters, sisters,
and so forth, of his much obliginr
n%eighbors. Whether common report
belied the parson or not, the result
was the same, and many a high Joke
both sly and open, was passed off at
his expense.
A young man, neighbor of his.
wishing to appear in boots on a Ger.
tain occasion. and having none of his
own, went to ask the loan of the par
sons. ayes, JOEL" said the good
natured man, "you may have the
boots, but you must remember to re-
turn them soon."
"Sartainly," returned Joel, "I'l
fetch them home right away, as soon
as ever FIN done with 'em, and that'lI
be tomorrow evening, if nothing
happens"
The Parson looked out for his boots
on the morrow, but they did not come.
1t was the same the next day, and
the day after, and so on for three
weeks. In all the time Joel did not
show his face. and the bootless par
son began to lose all patience; when
one day meeting the delinquent with
a boot in each hand he exclaimed:
swell, young man, you are a pref
ty fellow, are you not?"
"Why, SC the gals say" replied
Joel showing his teeth.
"You forgot to bring home my
boots as you promised"
20, no, | didn't forget; Mr.. F.;
| sot out the very next day evening,
to fetch 'en home-But jest as | got
agin the read that leads to Deacon
Thompson's-you know the Deacon
has got some plaguy pretty daughters
well just as | got agin the road,
your boots wouldn't move an inch
iurder, and was obliged to stop and
talk along with the gals awhile, till
by'm by it got to be so late thinks |,
/ won't carry the boots homo to-
night"
"WelI, what hindered you from
bringing them home the next eve
ning9"
"Why, the next evening, | sot out
with 'em again, and with a good deal
Of whippin and sPurin got 'em past
the road that leads to the Deacon's
and now thinks |, III get along well
enough. Well, and so it turned out,
until | came to the lane that turns
down to Col. Woodcock's; and there
as true as I'm alive, the boots stopped
and they wouldn't bulge q
step till I'd gone and talked with Ruth
Woodcock awhile. So it got to be
too late again that evening"
"But that don't account for the
whole three weeks"
"No; but I'll tell you how it was.
The very next evening | determined
the boots should go home whether or
no. So | sot out to fetch 'em away
round Gross lots, SO as not to pass the
road, nor the Curnal's lane.
Well, this project worked amazing
well. The two greatest difficulties
was got over, and now, thinks /, I'll
lake the high road again, but plague
AXE the boots, as came opposite the
Smiths they would stop again.
