TWO YEARS Old.
BY C. S. PERcIvAL.

Playing on the carpet near me,
Is a little cherub girl;
And her presence, much fear me,
Sets my senses in whirl;
For a book is open lying
Full Of grave phiIosoph, ing,
And own I'm vainly trying
There my thoughts to hold;
But, IN spite Of my essaying,
They will ever more be stray,ngl
10 that chernb near the playing
Only two years old.
With her hair so long and 1axen,
And her sunny eyes SO blue,
And her cheeks so plump and waxen--
She /. charming 10 the view,
Then her voice, to all who hear it
BTeihes a sweet, enhancing spirit;
O! to be forever near il
j. Joy untold;
For 'tis ever sWeetly telling
To NY heart, With rapture swelling,
OF affection inly dwelling
OILY Two years old.
With new delight Ton hearing
All her sweet attempts at words,
In their melody endearing-
Swee'er far than any birds;
And the musical inistaking
Which her baby lips are making,
For nv heart charm is waking,
Firmer in its hold
Than the charm so rich an glowing,
From the Romans lips o'erf1oMing;
Then she gives look so knowing!
Only two years old.
Now her ripe nnd honey'd kisses,
NHone)'h, ripe Tor me a'one.)
Thrill my soul with varied b'isses,
Venus na,pr vel has known.
When her twining aims are round me,
All domestic Joy hath crowned ne,
And ierveni spell hath bound me
Never 10 grow cold.
O! there's NOT. this side OF Aidenn,
Aught with loyeliness so laden,
As my little chernb maiden,
Only two years old.

THE REVENGE OF THE RIcH MAN.-Tho
written directions of John Med ,nogh to his
executors form, we understand, very in
teresiing record nf the Impressions aud OK
perienccs Of a verv singular hut acute and
observing man. This document ahnunds
in observations upon the vices and fDllies Of
his fellow men, and inrulcaics the necessi-
ty Of cultivatine higher feeling of Justice
and philanthropy among men. lie cen.
snres strongly the hostility and prejudice
nf the poor against the rich, aud gives sew.
eraI instances in which this feeling was ex.
cited against him in suits tried before j'vies.
He refers particularly to one case, in which
he brought suit ngainst a rich widow lady,
whose husbands notes he AlcD nneh) had
cashed ia his lifetime to assist ,hrt husband
nut ot snme embarrassment. The wid"w
refused 10 pay the noies, and McDon"gh
brought suit. The case came before a jury,
and the lawyer OF the defendant, WIN had
no legal defence against the note, appealed
to tho prejudices Of the jury, and invoked
them to pr.hect the pW'r widow and her
orphan children against 'he exacsinns II
the avaricinns millionaire, J.bn McDonneh.
The appeal was but too successful. The
inrv returned verdict fnr nbnnt ten pr
cent on 'he face Of the note "and thssa.S
exclaims Mr.. McDnnoeh, awas 1deprived
Of my just dues because BY perseverance,
and industry had accumulated wealth."
"But," he adds, .s.hese Jurors, in thus per.
mitting mo to he robbed. little knew that
thew were rnhbing themselves and their
children" And ~ il has prused, and the
old man has had bis revenge.
