A mighty realm il the Land Of Dreams,
With sleeps that hang in the twilight sky,
And weltering oceans and trailing streams,
That CLEAN where the dusky valleys lie.
But over its shadowy border flow
Sweet rays from the world Of endlesss morn,
And the nearer mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearer fields are born.
The souls of the happy dead repair, slsnd,
From their bowers Of light TO that bordering
And walk in the fainter glory there,
With the souls Of the living, hand in hand.
One calm sweet smile in that shadowy sphere,
From eyes that open on earth no more
One warning word from a voice once dear
- How they rise in the memory Ger and Ger!
Par of from those hills that shine with day,
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The Land Of Dreams goes stretching away
To DINNER mountains and darker wales.
There lie the chambers Of guilty delight,
There walk the spectres Of guilty fear,
And soft, low voices that float through the night,
Are whispering sin in the helpless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girIhOOd's opening flower,
Scarce weaned from the love of childish play
The tears on whose cheeks are but the shower
That freshens the early blooms Of May!
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and Joyous CLEANS,
And know, by thy moving lips, that now
Thy spirit strays in the Land Of Dreams.
Light-hearted maiden, oh, heed thy feet.
On keep where that beam Of Paradise falls;
And only wander where thou may'st meet
The blessed ones from is shining walls.
SO shalt thou come from the Land Of Dreams,
With love and peace TO this world Of strife;
And the light that over that border streams
Shall leon the path Of thy daily life.

A Matrimonial Advertiser.

A story was told me, with an assurance
that it was literally true, Of gentleman
who, being in want oil wife, advertised for
one, and, at the place and time appointed,
was met by lady. Their stations in life
entitled them to be so called, and the gen.
tleman, as well ms the lady, was in earnest.
He, however, unluckily, seemed to be Of
the same opinion as King Pedro was with
regard to his wife, Queen Mary OF ARA
gon, that she was not so handsome as she
might be good, so the meeting ended in their
mutual disappointment. C'Hlebs sdver-
Used second time, appointing different
square for the place Of meeting, and vary
ing the words OF the advertisement. He
met the same lady-they recognized each
other--could not choose bet smile at the
recognition, and perhaps neither Of them
could choose but sigh. You will antici-
pate the event. The perseyering bachelor
tried his lot third time in the newspapers,
and ar tie third place of appointment he
met the equally persevering spinster. At
this meeting neither could help laughing.
They began to converse in good humor, and
the conversation became so agreeable on
both sides, and the circumstances appeared
so remarkable, that thu, third interview led
to marriage, and the marriage proved a
happy one.-The Doctor. -
