THE PREssMAN.
Pull up my boys, turn quick the roance,
And let the work begin,
The world is pressing on without,
And we must press within.
And we who guide the public mind,
HayeinAuence Gar and wide,
And all our deeds are good, although
The Devil's at our side.
Let Hy the .frisket now, my boys,
Who are more proud than weF
While wait th1 anxious crowd without,
The force of po,oer we see.
So pull away--nono are 80 great
AS they who run the car;
And who have dignity like those
Who practice at the bar.
And you who turn the roller there,
Be quick you inky man!
Old time is rolling on himself,
So beat him If you can.
Be careful of the light and shade,
Nor let the sheet grow pale,
Be careful Of tho mo oiky looks
OF every head and tail.
Though high in office is our stand,
And pi-ous is our case,
We should not cast biur on those
Who fill lower place.
The gaping world is fcd by us,
Who retail knowledge here,
BY feeding them we feed ourselves
Nor deem our fare too dear.
Pull up my boys! turn quick the roance,
And thus the chdce we II join,
We have deposites in the oaah,
Our draDers full of qaoM.
And who should more gentcey cuf'
A figure and dash'
Yet sometimes we who press so much,
Ourselves are pressed for cash!

PARTING SONG.
BY ELIZA COOK

BY ELIZA COOK.
Come, let us part with lightsomc heart,
Nor breathe one chlding sigh,
To think that wings of rainbow plume
so soon should learn to fly.
We scarcely like the chimes to strike,
Thu. tell of Pleasures flight,
But Friendships chain, when served thus
Is sure 10 re-unte.
Then why not we as merry be,
Though this song be the last,
Believing other homes will come
AS bright as those just past
The wild birds song is loud and long,
But the sweetest and the best,
L..sghiatlea aa-ha leaves he-bough,
To seek his lonely nest.
The SUMS rich ray shines through the day.
But flashes deer still
While darting forth his farewelray
Behind the western hill.
Then why not we as merry be,
In this parting straln,
For, like the bird and sun, we Il come
With Joy and warmth again.
The moments fed, like vlolets dead,
Shall never loose their power;
For greatfu perfume ever marks
The memory's withered flower.
The sailors lay, in peaceful bay,
With gladstone mirth rings out;
But when the heavy anchors weighed,
He gives as blithe shout.
Then why not we as merry be,
In this our parting strain,
And trust as gallant sailors do,
To make the port again!

WEARY OF THE WORLD.

I've wandered forth in this calm hour OF twilight,
To breathe the fragrance of the balmy air;
To 81. beneath the graceful dropping willow,
And list the streamlet softly murtnuring there.
It is the hour to gentle memories sacred,
And soft as murmurs DER the deep blue sea;
Or the sweet whispers of some wandering spirit,
Come Thoughts of Joy departed unto me.
They are bright visitants, for I am weary
Of the dull quiet of this plodding world;
And like the dove returned from DER The waters,
My soul must slumber with her pinions furled.
There was an hour when naiure's calm, pure beauty
Conld still the iumult of the troubled soul;
| would recall it, bu, my hopes have faded,
And DER ihelr ruins darkened pillows roll.
And thoughts come DER me of my sunny childhood
When every passing hour was iuil Of gIee;
when moments, like the gently dropping waters,
Fell rs TO sounds of nature's melody.
And there wore eyes that met my own in brightness
when childhood melted into calmer youth;
Voices whose accents thrilled with jov and %g'adness
And brenthed but words of forvor and of truth.
Those DAYS have passed IS doth the gliding river;
Those eyes are closed in deaths long sleep 10 rest;
The hearts are pulsolcss IN heir silent %s'umber,
The turf DER each gentle bosom prest.
Few years have passed, and vet the breath of sorrow
Hath dimncd the lns,re Of life'> parted hours;
The sky is dark. and lhorns and mildcw gather
Their blighting presence in the fairest bowers.
Tho young in years. my heart hath lost is greenness,
lis trust in human faith and truth is DER;
In VAIN | garnet M each true affection,
The weary spirit still will sigh for more.
If in communion with my own bright d~rcnmings,
Ny spirits wings for once NAV he unfurled
When truth returns I sink again in darkness,
and murmur, I am weary Of the world ENMA.

ATTACHMENT OF A DOG TO A CHiLp.-
A near n~eighbor of mine, about six months
since, had a lille boy about four years old
who had a spaniel Of which he was found
One day during the absence of the father,
the child was taken i'll with the Group ;. the
mother was alarmed, and it so happened that
her servants were away and she had no one
TO send for a physician. The poor woman
was in great tribulation, for in spite of all her
efforts the child grew worse. In about an
hour after The child was taken il, her fathers
carriage stopped al the door, and her moth
er made her appearances. Her fathers house
was about two miles distant. The grand
mother said that Carlo, the sick child's dog,
came running into the house despatched
with, and flew about so strangely. that she
knew something must he the matter with
Billy, her grandson and she came TO see
what II was" Until lhen the mother of the
child did not notice the absence of the dog
from the room, for the boy was PLAYING with
him when he was taken sick. The child re-
manned i'll for three or four days and then
died; during the time, the dog never left the
bedside; he watched by the corpse until it
was buried, and then took possession of the
little boys chair, which lie would ALLOW no

Every day he absented himself three or four
hours; and the father one day going to look

"And, tn .refore, we will remember you, Hen.
RY CLAY, while the memory Of the glorious or
the sense of the good remains in us, with a
grateful and admiring affection, which shalI
strengthen with our strength, and shall not de.
cay with our decline. We will remember you
in all our future trials and reverses, as him
whose name hnnored defeat and gave 1t a glory
which victory could not have brought. We viii
remember YOU when patriotic hope rallies again
to successful contest with the agencies of cor.
ruption and ruin for we will never know a trl-
umph which you DO not share in life, whose glo.
~ does not accrue to you in death. We will
remember you while the national peace and
prosperity continues; and when the war clnuds
now darkening and muttering over the horizon,
have risen to overcast the clear and placid sky
yet above us, and have burst over the whole
land, the people will remember you too and all
will remember YOU when the blood hounds so
long baying on our track, and the wolves now
bowling around the fold, shall have rent the
prey, where the v~ultures are already screaming
for the off4l. We will remember you, whenev.
or we meet again in the mighty gatherings OF
the faithful and in the social circle, and in the
happiness of our homes. We will remember you
through life, and we will not forget you at the
gates of death,-ihus everywhere and at all
times, in our most sacred and solemn moments,
aud in our purest thoughts, gratefully cherish
inr your name and deeds, and, as now and here,
invoking blessings on you and yours forever.
