THE Toll OF LIFE

How remedy the toll Of life
The constant care--the gnawing strife =
The daily wear and tear of heart
The spirit SORROWS deadly dart!
How keep the soul from sinking down,
Beneath earth's muddy waves to drown
Its high affinities to lose
Its origin iofget--abuse
Its higher destiny--its end
To overlook, and downward
In view, instead of ever upl
The mind should rise far over all,
Would sink it down beneath earth's thrall;
The head high in the heavens rise,
And breathe the air of purer skies,
While yet below the feet may tread,
And through Iife's may tracks may lead,
The heart should draw down from above
Some CLEANS of brighter light aud love,
Which DER darkest scenes of woe,
Ofdreary want or care may throw
Some cheering warmth--a sunny glow.
By interest the thoughts to engage .
By study of the s;oried page
The painters, scu,p,or's finer art
Whate'er may move or warm the heart
BY music, poetry andp prayer,
We help the loads of life to bear;
Welift the soul above the i'll,
Which else its energies might kill.

CHEESE VERSUS CAxxoN SHOT. The greatest ami
hilation that we have heard of lately, used by
the celebrated Commodore Coe, of the Montevidean

of the Buenos Ayrean service, fired every shot from
his lockers.
"What shall we do, srl" asked his first Lieutenant;
'weve not single shot aboard-round, grape canis-
ter, and double headed, are all gone"
Powder gone, ehl" asked Coe
''No sir-got lots of that yet"

for desert at dinner to-day, do you remember itl"
said Coe
Il ought to-I broke the carving knife in trying TO
cut it, sir"
"Are there any more aboard!n
About two dozen-we took 'em from a droger'
"Will they go into the Is pounders!''
"By thunder Commodore, but that's the idea
Ill try EN- cried the first huff
And in few minutes the fire Of the old Santa Ma
ria Goes ship) which had ceased entirely, re-
opened, and Admiral Brown found more shot flying
over his head. DIRECTLY one of them struck the main
mast and did So shattered and flew in every d.
rection. .--
"What the devil is that which the enemy is f.
rirgl" asked Brown--but nobody could tell.
Directly another one came in through port and
killed two men who stood near hn then striking the
opposite bulwark, burst into flinders -.
by Jove, this is too much this is some new fan
gled paixhan or olherI don't like em at all cried
Brown and then as four or five more OF them came
slap through his sails. he gave the order to fill away
and actually backed out Of the fight receiving part
ing broadside of Dutch cheese.
This is an actual fact, our informant was the first
Lieutenant ofCoe's ship.-Arist0crdtic MoH
