ALONE.
BY C. C. cox.

ALoNE-upon the wide, wide world!
It's hard to dwell alone,
To catch no look of human love,
To list no gentle lone;
But wander through life's busy crowd,
''Lone as the corpse within it's shroud."
Alone-'tis hard to sit and weep
In some untlodden shade,
Der all the wrecks of life and Joy
A few brief years have made;
To trace the links Of that bright chain,
Which time will ne'er unite again.
Alone-'tis deeper griefto dream
Of those we love in youth,
And feel though time has changed US not
The hearts are lost to truth,
To wake, alas too late to find,
Their vows have passed US to the wind.
Alone-'tis agony for one.
Of spirit proud and strong,
10 feel life's pulses ebbing fast,
Before the worlds cold wrong;
And sternly hide each pang of fate,
That leaves the heart SO desolate.
Alone--'tis sometimes sweet to mark
The green and quiet spot,
Where we may sleep when life is DER,
BY all the world forgot
With none to bless our churchyard hours,
But leaves and birds and summer flowers.

APPAREL.-E1cess in apparel Is q
costly folly. The mere trimmings Of the
vain world would clothe all the naked
ones. Choose your clothes by your own
eyes, and not another's; the more plain
and simple, the better. Let them be
formed neatly but not Enthusiastically; foy
use and decency, and not for pride and
vanity; if you are clean and warm, 1t Is
sufficient. More than these rob the poor
and please the wanton. 1t is said Of the
true church. the kings daughter is all
glorious within let our care therefore be
Of our minds more than our bodies, if we
would be OF her communion. Weakness
and modesty are the rich and beautiful
attire of the soul. The palmer the dress.
the more perspicuously and sPlendidly
their beauty shines.

LUCKY DREAM.-The forms of small
shot used by sporssmen are exactly spher-
ical. The manner In which this advan.
tage is secured, is ingenious. II is said
that Mr.. Watt, native Of Bristol. and
a plumber by trade, had dream,in which
be saw the whole continuance. A person
appeared before him on the top Of high
tower; with sieve in one hand, and a
ladle OF melted lead in the other; this
was poured into the sieve, which he shook
violently and the liquid metal fell III drops,
like rain to the floor Of the tower. but in
its fall had recovered its solified state -
The imaginary person then descended
from the tower and examined some ofthe
shot, aud among them Watt saw several
tina, were not either perfectly round or
had tails to them. To separate these
from the others, the man removed the shot
to an inclined plane. Those that we're
round ran down the plane, while those
that were misshaped wriggled over the
side. A perfect separation was thus eff.
fected. This was lucky dream for Watt,
as he sold his patent for 100000, and a
similar method is s.ill employed by manu-
facturers.
