Things that Change.

BY MRS. HENANS.
knowesl thou that seas are sweeping
Where cities once have been!
When The calm wave is sleeping,
Their towers may yet be seen;
Far down below the CLASSY tide
Mans dwellings where his voice hath died.
knowesi thou that focks are feeding
Above The tombs of old,
Which kings, their armies leading,
Have fingered to behold?
A short smooth green sward DER them spread
Is all that marks where heroes bled.
Knowest thou that now the token
OF temples once renowned
Is but pillar broken,
With glass and wall flowers crowned?
And The lone serpent rears her young
Where The triumphant Tyre hath sung?
Well, well, know The story
Of ages past away,
And tho mourn(ul wrecks lha, glory
Has left 10 dull decay,
But thou hast yet a tale 10 learn
More full of warnings sad and stern.
Thy pensive eye but ranges
Ger ruined fame and hall,
Oh! the deep soul has changes
More sorrowful than all.
Talk moi, while these before the throng
OF silence in the place of song
See scorn-where love has perished;
Dislrust-where friendship grew;
Pride-whe.e nature cherished
All tender thoughts and true
And shadows of oblivion thrown
Ger every trace of idol gone.
Weep mol for ,onbs far scattered,
For temples PROSTATE laid
In thine own heart lie shattered
The aItars il had made.
Go, sound lis depths in doubt and fear,
Heap up no more lis treasures here

STORY OF A BEAR.

Many years ago a beautiful little cub bear was
caught by stou, lad near the borders Of Lake
Wnnpseogee, in New Hampshire, carried into
town, and after proper drilling, became the play
fellow of the boys Of the village, and often accom-.
panied them to the school house. After passing a
few months in civilized society, he made his es-
cape into the woods, and after a few years was al
most forgotten. The school house, meantime, had
fallen from the schoolmasters into the schoolmis.
tresses' hands and instead Of large boys learning
10 write and cypher, small boys and girls were
taught in the same place knitting and spelling.
One winters day after mild fall of snow, the
door had been left open by some urchin going out
when, to the unspeakable horror OF the specialized
dame and her threescore hopeful scholars, an C.
normous bear walked in, in the most familiar man
ner in the world, and took seat by the fire
Huddling over the benches as fast as they could
the children crowded about their school mistress
who fled to the farthercst corner Of the room and
there they stood, crying and pushing to escape the
horror of being eaten first The bear sat snuffing
and warming blmself by the fire, showing grea
signs of satisfaction but putting of his meal until
he had warmed himself thoroughly. The screams
Of the children continued, but the school house wa:
far from any other inhabitants, and the bear did
not seem at all embarrassed by the outcry Afel
sitting and turning himself about for some time
Bruin got upon his hind legs, and showing to thu
door, began to take down one by one the hats bon
nets and satches that hung on several rows OF peg
behind il. His memory had not deceived him
for they contained as OF old, the chidren's dinner
and he had arrived before the holidays. Having
satisfied himself with their cheese, bread, pies
doughnuts and apples, Brun smelt at the mistress
desk bu, finding it locked, gave himself SHAKE
of resignation, opened the door and disappeared
The alarm was given, and the amiable creature
was pursued and killed, very much to the regre
ofthe towns people, when il was discovered b,
some marks on his body, that it was their oil
friend and play.llow.
