week, was disposed, while at church
on Sunday, 10 refresh himself by a
snooze. He had kept awake TIL the
preacher had progressed some in his
sermon, when he fell into a sound
sleep, and dreaming in his soporlfc

voice, "NIort! more Mort!" The cf-

Tradition If old Isues.-Among
the unpublished anecdotes of Revolu-
tionary times, we have often heard the
following: Mathew Lyon was a mem
Der of the old Congress, and of course
strongly opposed TO kings and kaisers.
When the question Of a national coin
was started, Mr.. Lyon objected to the
eagle because he was the hing of birds,
and therefore unsuitable for republic.
Judge Thatcher, who was always char
acterized by good natured mirthfulness,
replied, that perhaps il would be well
10 take the goose for our emblem /; for
that animal had nothing majestic in her
department, nor could her high rank
among birds occasion any offence /;
moreover, the goslings would be a very
convenient stamp on the tenpenny
pieces and fppenny bits. This caused
a great deal of fun, so offensive to Mr..
Lyon. that he challenged his facetious
opponent. What arrangement will
you maker inquired the man who
carried the challenge. "NOne at all, }"
replied Judge Thatcher. "Why. are
you willing to be called a coward ?'-
"Yes, because am a coward; and he
knew it very well, or he never would
have challenged me-" This turned
the laugh upon Lyon, who wisely con-
cuded there was no use in trying TO
fight with man who fired nothing but
jokes.
Another member of Congress pro-
posed to abolish the use of the English
language in the newly settled colonies,
because it was used by a monarchy
The Greek, he thought, would be far
more appropriate for republic : he
therefore proposed to have schools
generally established to teach the peo-
pie the language of Phocion and Plato.
Another member replied, by proposing
much shrewder plan. He said as
the learning of Greek was an incon-
venient process for a whole people, he
would recommend to conquer the
British, take their language away from
them, and make them learn Greek.

MAN WAS NOT MADE TO MOURN

THERE is voice which haunts me still,
Where or on earth be;
In lonely vale, on lofty hill,
And on the distant sea-
l hear it i'll the silent night,
And at the break OF morn:
And aye it crieth-dark or light
Man was not made 10 mourn
In ev'ry stream that seaward flows
That voice salutcs mine ear
In every wind that round me blows
Its thrilling notes hear;
in ev'ry sound OF Natures heart,
The cheerful or forlorn,
This ever bears the better part
Man was not made TO mourn
The sun that glads the summer noon.
The light that blesseth all.
The myriad stars, the quiet moon.
The showers from Heaven that fall
The flowers which in our meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorII---
AL all, in their own fashion show
Man was not made to mourn
All Nature cries aloud-but man
Regards not Natures voice;
Perverteth her benignant plan
Her workmanship destroys
From her fair book the brightest page
With impious hand has torn.
Yet still she cries, from age TO age.
Man was not made to mourn
o gentlest mother MAJ thy child
Ere long thy lesson read
Embrace thy prccepts, loving. mild
Thy fratcrnizing creed:
Then shall the blessed end be known
For which he has been born;
And all shall feel from zone to zone.
Nun was not made to mourn
