SELECTED POETRY
FORTUNE ANDLOVE.

oNA CA>h
BY ELIZA COOK.
Let me live without Fortune, if Providence will it.
For joys can be found where small treasure is
shed
Those who bear full cup are most fearful to
spill it,
And oftentimes walk with the narrowest tread;
care not though fate may deny profusion,
If earth will but show me some rays from above;
Tell me not that Gods light is dreamy illusion
could live without Fortune, but not without
Oh! Ills pleasant to know there beings about US
Who tune the most exquisite strings in our heart,
To feel that they would not be happy without us,
And that they in their loneliness sigh when we
part.
Oh there's something divine in the thought that
we cherish
A star-beam within US that shines from above
To know that if all the world gives should perish,
The greatest of Fortune still dwells in our Love!
Oh! It's glory to feel that we live for others,
That selfis not all that we depend on below,
That affection yet links to sisters and brothers,
Whose faith will be constant come veal or come
woe,
bosom,
Meier fear while our spirit is fed by the dove;
Let the despots of Life give Eternity's blossom,
And we'll live without Fortune while favored by

HUMOROUS SCRAPS.

WHEN TO LEAVE OFF DRlNKING.-
When you feel particularly DESTROYS OF
having another glass, leave off; you
have had enough. When you look at
an object and appear to see two, leave
off; you have had too much. When
you knock over your glass, spill your
wine upon the table or are unable to
recollect the words of a song you have
been in the habit Of singing for the last
dozen ofyears, leave the company, you
are getting troublesome. When you
nod in the chair, fall over the hearth
rug, or larch on your neighbours Shout
der, go to bed, you are drunk.

A milliner's apprentice, about to

uniting some error in her department.
She, therefore, consulted a friend as
to the manner in which she should adj
dress this great parsonage; and was told
that, on goin 3 before the duchess, she
must say her grace, and so on. Ac-

being introduced, after very low cour-
