All things perish save Virtue.
mn THOMAS POWER.

"Swcei morn-so cool, so calm so bright,
The bridal Of the earth and sky,
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight, ..
For thou must die
sweet rose--whosc fragrance now | crave,
To glad my sense and JOY mine eyes,
Thy root is ever in IFS grave,
And thou must die
Sweet springs So full Of shine and showers,
|, nskes the weary spirit sigh,
To think, with all Thy herbs and n,wers,
Tha, thou must die.
Sweet mnsc--e'en the lovely song
Which from my harp in window high
Is floating on the hre, ~ along,
E'cn thou must die.
And all the bright and clustering train
OF stars that stud the deep blue sky
Must they all perish-none remain
To glad the eye !
And Wales, and fields, and rushing streams,
And mountains that invade the sky,
Are .hey as baseless "a our dreams
And must they die
And ali that's beautiful and fair
On Natures face-lovc's melody,
That makes sweet music Of the air,
All--all must die
And man, frsil form Of sense'ess clay.
Tho now his g,nce is proud and high,
Perchaace upon this passing day
He too may die
But the bright soul that, shrined within
The Quenchess ligh, in mortal form
Tho dmm'd by misery and sin,
Defcs the worm.
When all the stars shall fade away.
And suns in their own blaze expire,
And usckless comets cease 10 stray
With wandring fire.
The soul shall ever live, nor know
The lapse OF time, but dwell on high,
And share--in endless joy or woe
Eternity"

Counterpart OF Napoleon.

Any traveller who may have been in Italy in
the spring OF 1919, must have heard of the
celebrated Mujor of the Royal Sandman Life
Guard, who bore so strong resemblance TO the
great Napoleon, as to excite the wonder Of all
those who had seen the emperor. At that
time was on visit TO the city Of Genoa. ]
recollect that one evening vas at the Cafe du
Grand Cairo with party OF friends, when we
observed an officer in the costume of the guards
reading at table. We were struck with the
resemblance which he bore to all the bus,s and
portraits of the emperor which we had seen
In the midst OF our conjcctures on the subject,
an old French officer, decorated with the or
der OF the Legion of Honor, observing the sur
prise depicted in our countcnances, very polite
ly joined our party, and said 81 can easily
imagine, gentlemen, the subject Of your present
astouisllment. That officer is one of the great
est wonders in Europe, and as much like Napo-
leon as if he were his twin brother. Indeed,
some persons here go SO far as TO repeat, that
both the emperor aud his prototype are from
the same parent stock, which may be the case,
as the Major is a native OF Corsica, and about
Napoleon's age. | assure you," continued the
French officer, ''that ! was near the emperor

the enthusiasm of the French officer rose to
such pitch, that all the visitors of the cafe
were staring at us. The next evening went
to the opera TO hear the celebrated Madam
Catalina, and to have a peep at the cX-empress
Maria Louisa, and her father, whose visit mad
been announced. We had not long been seat

joining box. He was standing up, his arms
folded in the manner Of Napoleon, and like
him he wore green coat buttoned up close to
the neck and decorated with two or three or
dcrS, which he had won in the Italian wars, and
above all, the ncverto be forgotten little cooked
hat Soon after the empress entered, accom-
panied bya brilliant suite but presently the
audience were thrown into amazement by some
confusion in the royal box Maria Louisa had
caught glimpse of the counterfeit present

fusion and astonshment were exhibited in the
most palpablc manner. The King Of Sardinio

How TO KEEP VILLAGE Cow.-Transpant
sugar beets fifteen inches apart like cabbages,
but with more care, in every spot or space you
can spare in your lot or garden. lfthe land is
worked well and early, they will tend them
selves after two or three light hoeings, and
grow large enough to make mess each with
the addition of a quart of shorts, seasoned with
ground oil cake. Here is sugar, gluten starch,
and oleaginous matter to boot. With such
slops, COW needs nothing but little straw.

New RAIL ROAD INvESrIoS--A patent has
been taken out at Paris by NJ. Il. Wroughton,
a private gentleman in London, for various i'm
portant Improvements in railway travelling.
In the first place, he has coach SO construct

as to occasion no unpeasantness to the tra-
weller, and comparatively little friction to the
rails. Secondly, he has new break of such

vented a beautiful piece of machinery, by
which the conductor of the first carriage can at
any part of the road ascertain the precise rate
of speed at which the train is travelling, and
so prepare himself for the action ofthe break
or spring as TO avoid all danger to the pas
sengers from the negligence or imprudence OF

We hate some persons, because we do not
know them and we will not know them, be.
cause we hate them. The friendships that sue,
ceed to such connexions are usually firm, ior
those qualities must be sterling that could not
only gain our hearts, but conquer our prejudces,
But the misfortune is, that we carry those pre-
judces into things far more serious than our
friendships. There are truths which some men
dcspisc, because uEey have not examined and
which they will not examine, because they dc.

where this kind Of prejudice was overcome by
a miracle ; but the age of miracles is past,
while that Of prendice remains.
