SELECTED POETRY.
OUR OWN FIRESIDE,

OUR OWN FIRESIDE.
Dear in the morn's soft blowing gale,
Is budding May;
Sweet in the wild rose perfum'd vale
The scented hay!
Dear is the early evening star
The lovers guide;
But dearer still, and sweeter far,
Our own freside!
Dear is the linnet's lovely song,
That cheers the grove;
Sweet is the breeze that watts along
The sight of love.
Dear to the sailors heart the call
Ofland deserted;
But all more dear, more sweet than all,
Our own fireside!

SONG.

o, ask me not why thus weep,
may not tell thee why:
The fountain oft is dark and deep
That gushes from the eye.
1t should rot be, hear thee say,
While thou art by my side =
AS if the heart could ere be gay
Of one so soon bride
1t is not grief that brings the tear,
Nor dread of coming woe;
But, o, It's something which fear
No mortal long may know.
For when hear that tone of love-
Unlike all earthly sound,-
1t seems like music from above,
That lifts me from the ground.
And yot know saaat I'm of earth,
Where all that lived must die.
And these my tears but owe their birth
To bliss for earth too aaigh.

a'IN HoRN."- The origin of this
saying is thus answered: 'In olden
times before glasses were introduced, it
was the custom to drink out of horns
William the Conqueror had one that
held quart. When he drank out of
it he usually pledged his guests s'in a
horn," and no one could leave the ia
BILE without doing the same thing
Hence the origin.'

iron accordingly, though he may know
it to be utterly impracticable. We had

first lieutenant, for fun, told the black
smith to take it to the anvil and put a
new handspring in it--Hearing the
puff of the bellows and the click Of the
hammer, went forward, where found
the old watch taken TO pieces, and the
worthy representative of Vulcan beat
