"LET ME-"

But thousand temptations beset me;
And I've thought as the dear little rubies you
rais'd,
How delicious 'twould be if-you' d let me.
Then be not so angry for what have done,
Nor say that you've sworn to forget me;
They were buds of temptation too pouting to shun,
And thought that-you could not but let me.
When your lip with whisper came close to my
cheek,
Oh! think how hewitching it met me;
AS plain as the eye Of Venus could speak,
Your eyes seemed to say-you would let me.
Then forgive the transgression and bid me remain,
For in truth if go you'll regret me;
Or oh let me try the tansgressson again,
And Ill do all you wish--will you let me'

PRETTY THOUGHTS.

What is crime? A wre,ched vagabond,
travelling from place to place in fruilless
endeavors to escape from justice, who is
constantly engaged in ho, pursuit; foe to
virtue and happiness though at times the
companion of poor innocence, which is too
often made TO suffer for the guilty.
What is thought? A fountain from which
flows all good and evil intentons-a men
tai fluid, electrical in the force and rapidly
of its movements, silently flowing unseen
within its own secret avenue; yet 1t is the
controlling power of all animated matter,
and the chief handspring of all our actions.
What is happiness A butterfly that
roves from flower to flower in the vast gard
en- Of existence, and which is eagerly pur-
sued by the multitude in the vain hope OF
obtaining the prize; ye! it continually eludes
from their grasp.
Wha, is fashion? A beautiful envelope
for mortality, presenting q gliterng and
polished exterior. the appearance Of which
gives no certain indication of the real value
of what is contained therein.
What is wit? A sparkling beverage tha,
is highly exhilerating and agreeable when
partaken Of at the expense Of others bu,
when used at our own cost it becomes bitter
and unpleasant.
Wha, is knowledge? A key that un-
ravels all mysteries, which unlocks the en-
trance, and discovers new unseen and un.
trodden paths in the hitherto unexplored
field Of science and literature.
Wha, is fear? A frigb,ful substance to
the really guilty, but a vain and harmless
shadow to the conscious, honest, and UPS
right.
What is JOY? The honey Of existence
really beneficial and agreeable when parlak-
en- of in moderation, but highly injurious
when used 10 excess.

HEART WISDOM.

IT'S weak to pine for pleasures past, or scorn
To hoard their leaves still green in memory
Our happiest days, like fralest flowers must die:
The winds that take the blossom, leave the thorn:
To some hard trouble all of us are born.
Blessed the day that's past without sigh;
Blessed day ,rith sighs-if we can dry
The tears of those who have more cause to mourn.
How many hate who might each other love,
Did they but judge those living as if dead
Stretched cold before them with dim stony eyes
Diyiner far than all the stars above
Is one forgiving word in kindness said
One loving look that in the memory lies.

LEARN TO Cook WELL.-The health of
the family depends upon it. We know there
are those who associate luxury, effeminacyy
and all dependent ills, with every attempt
Of the recommended. Bu. we do not be-
lleve that health is promoted by eating raw
carrots or doughty bread-or that, to secure
long life, it is necessary TO turn cannibal.
Nor is it necessary, in order to shun the
errors of which we speak to rush into the
opposite extreme. Good cookery does not
consist in producing the highest seasoned
dishes, nor such as TO foster morbid appe-
.te; but in preparing every dish well, how
ever simple or common it may be. There
are, for instance, families who never eat any
good bread from one century to another,
and have no idea in what i, Consists. Nor
are meats cooked any better within their
precincts. Those l,lle, simple, and healthy
delicacies, which the good housekeeper
knows intuitively how 10 produce, are never
