LOVE IN A PRlN TING OFFICE.
once heard an old Jour remark, that
printing Office was ne place for love-
making, and have since experienced
The truth ofhis observation n-being now
perfectly convinced that the flower Of
dove can never bloom in the midst of
types, stands and printing ink.
~ was my fortune once to sojoarn
for few days in the village Of.
DHaedy opposite the office was pret-
1ywhite cottage. with rose bush clam
bering around the easement, and was
not long in making the discovery that
the aforesaid white cottage with the
rose shaded window, contained a fair
inmate-a flower whose beauty far out
shone the roses that clustered around
the window. She was little blue eyed
saucy looking creature of some sixteen
summers. She was the belle of the vii
iage. Her name was Mary-sweet
poetic Mary. & -
II was beautiful summer morning,
and l,lhad raised the window TO admit
,,hed cool breeze from the Aower-decked
fields, and it was not long before lper-
,ceived that the cottage window was
also hoisted, and that sweet little Mary
was seated nearit busily engaged with
her needle. ! worked but little that
morning. My eyes constantly wan
dared towards The cottage window.

dread to lay down this frail body in its

head on the pillow Of its reposei Why
tremble at this, that in the long sleep
Of the tomb the body shall suffer dis
ease no more. and pain no more, and
hear no more the cries Of want nor
the groans Of distress; and far retired
from the turmoil Of lifes that violence
and change shall pass lightly over il,
and the elements shall beat, and the
storms shall howl unheard around its

Ho! come hither friend and listen,
Would you conquer in the strife.
Let these two words shine aud glistcn
In your course through after life,
Go ahead

Take straight path through the throng,
And while others pause and ponder,
Still move steadily along

But an even measured pace,
Bent 20 one strain and one wholly,
Come out victor in the race

Never loiier bv the way
Let the dusk of evening find Won
Ready for the coming day
Go ahead
Onward, upward still be climbing,
Never let your spirit fail;

Better aloft than in the vale

Though your road be rugged and lonely
Though your step be heavy and slow
