Things That Cost Nothing.

Sunrise and sunset cost us nothing, all
glorious as they are. Colors that are on
ly to be seen in the heavens, and bright,
ness beyond description, are profusely
spread, and we have sight to behold them,
pulses to throb, hearts to beat, and minds
to contemplate with wonder, thankfulness
ard joy. Rising and setting suns are
common place exhibitions, when, were
there only one such exhibition to be wit
messed in century, multiplied millions,
nay, almost half the population of the
globe would behold it with rapture.
We give money and time and labor for
many things of little value, but we never
give either the one or the other for the
cheerful sunbeam and the grateful show
err !; the gray of the morning, tn, twilight
Of evening, the broad blaze Of MONDAY.
and the deep silence and darkness of the
midnight hour! The poorest of the poor

Grand Display.

The BOSTON Post gives the following
account Of the lightning-like evolutions OF
the Flying Artillery
"The distinctive features Of this effec-
tive arm is combined in celebrity and pres
cision of movement on large scale and
nothing like the exercises yesterday were
ever witnessed in Boston While The en-
tire battery were on full gallop, blast
from the trumpeter would bring them to a
sudden halt, and another second would
find every man dismounted, and those
whose duty it was TO attend to it prepar-
ing to fire the pieces. This operation was
timed in two seconds.
After an advance, the performance at
one of the pieces was noted with the fol E,
lowing result:
Numbering, loading and two dischar-
ges only forty-fve seconds. Another
piece after retreat, and forming in line,
gave two discharges, limbering up, and
started within fifty>two seconds; and the
same was done by the whole battery, be-
ing four pieces. But this wonderful eel
Gritty, not being SO generally understood,
was not so universally appreciated as the
wheeling and coming into line on the gall
Top, when change of position was order
ed. The dashing hither and thither, and
the firing like successive flashes Of light
ming, had something terrific in it TO the
unpractised eye. But for the mounting,
and dismoun,ing, and running of the men
to their pieces, it would have seemed to
be the work Of supernatural agency. The
quickness with which the pieces we've
dismounted, the carriage taken to pieces,
and the parts left lying on the ground and
then put together. the guns mounted and
prepared for action, excited no less as
constituent. The operation was per-
formed so suddenly that no one thought
Of timing it. The advances at full gall
lop Of the whole battery, with four horses
to gun, and four more to each casson,
was grand spectacle"

Why do We clasp with such despair
Oh, hands OF Time, the dial's face,
When all the things in earth and air
Are withered with your silent paeei
Why do you tell with doleful tongue
In murmurs from those iron lips,
That hopes have to your accents chung
Which ended with the souls eelipses
Why will We thus remorseless tell
State secrets, like statesman bold,
Or whisper to the reigning belle
That even she is growing old.
In thy unconquerable round
What mighty histories are traced
You saw dusk Egypts monarchs crowned
Their kingdoms from the earth effaced.
But, not relentless, you will bring
The starry flowers to deck the earth,
And rear those infants of the spring
As trophies of your moods of mirth.
Seed-time and harvest, both will come
Old winter with his whtened hair.
And In the farmers rustic home
You'll bring again the vacant chair.
You saw in Eden's purple bloom
The angel TO the mortal fall,
And then you chronicled his doom:
The Meni on the brazen wall.
You saw the earliest planet rise
When light and chaos mingling met;
And you will face the burning skies
When they, for the las; time, have set.
Poor hour, with hands upon thy face
Upon the windy shore of Time;
The Oracle of God we trace
In the reproachcs of thy chime.
Thy finger, when the world was drowned,
Still pointed to the rising food;
You saw with thorns the Saviour crowned,
The sun in sorrow turned to blood:
Der men who filed the world with slaves
Behold the indignant marble rise,
But over guiltless, honored graves
Their ruined trophy scattered lies.
But not content with these, we wait
For wrecks of Empire yet to come,
And when you triumph over fate,
That voice, that voice will not be dumb.

A Little Story likely to be True.
Her face was as fair
As the flowers are,
And her voice like the voice of spring,
And she stepped the earth
Like queen by birth,
A most imperiel thing.
And well she knew
She was beautiful too,
And her face was praised, and her air;
She needed the song
Of the fiatterer's tongue
That greeted her every where.
The honeyed word
Her proud heart stirred.
She yielded her ear to its thrall,
And her virtue waned
As the poison gained,
Till passion o'ermastered all.
In the flower Of youth
She barteTed her truth
For life's reproach and shame,
And contrite tears
May cmbitter her years
But cannot that truth reclaim.
And thou n heaven forgive,
An virtue revive,
And peace in her breast hold reign,
Her sha ne will endure
With a world 50 pgrei
With a never-efacing stain.
For the world 50 just
On its kindred dust
Imposes perpetual ban
If it moves astray
From the perfect way
That is followed by perfect man.
And though years may pass
To their graves, alas
And heaven soothe frailty's woe,
Censorious men
May never again
A commenting smile bestow.
