CI5-There is story told of Provincial editor
who, discovering that of his neighbors had hung
himself, would not cut him down, mention the
discovery 70 any one, but kept the body under lock
and key for two whole days. His reason was simple
and sufficient. His paper appeared on Thursday; the
paper of his rival on Wednesday; ''And do you
think, he triumphantly asked, Il was going to say
anything about the suicide, and let that scoundrel

EY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.
Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt
Sweet Alice whose hair so brown,
Who wept with delight when you gave her smile
And trembled with fear at your frown;
In the old church yard in the valley, Ben Bolt,
In a corner obscure and alone,
They fitted slab of granite so gray
And sweet Alice lies under the stone.
Uraer the hickory tree. Ben Bolt
Which stood at the foot Of the hill,
Together we have lain in the MONDAY shade.
And listened to Appleton's MILL
The mill wheel has fallen TO pieces, Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tum6led in
And quiet which orawls round the walls gaze
Has followed the olden din.
Do you mind tine cabin'o logs, Ben Bolt,
At the edge of the painless wood;
And the sycamore tree with its motley limbs
Which nigh by the door step stood;
The cabin to ruin has gone Ben Bolt,
And the tree you would seek in vain,
And where once the lords of the forest waved
Grow grass and golden grain.
And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt,
With the master cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the running brook
Where The children all went to swim.
Grass grows the masters grave Ben Bolt,
The spring OF the brook is dry
And Of all the boys that school mates then,
There only you and /.
There is change in the things loved, Ben Bolt,
They have changed from the old to the new.
/ feel in the love Of my spirit the truth
There never was change in ycu
Twelve months, twenty. have passed, Ben Bolt,
Since first we were friends yet hail,
Thy presence blessing, thy friendship truth

0Grief never sleeps; ii watches continually, like
a jealous husband. All the world groans under its
sway, and it fears that by sleeping its clutch will
become loosened and its prey then escape.

About o'clock on December night when the
thermometer stood in the neighborhood of zero, a
party OF wags hailed farmhouse in very bolster

POETRY.
PRESS ON.

Press ON ! there's no such word as fail
Press swiftly on the goal is near
Ascend the mountain breast the gale
Look upward, onward-never fear
Why should'st thou faint! Heaven smile
above,
Though storm and vapor intervene
That sun shines on, whose name is Love
Serenely DER life's shadowed scene.
Press on, surmount the rocky sleeps
Climb boldly DER the torrents arch
He falls alone who feebly creeps,
He wins who dares the hero march.
Be thou hero let thy might
Tramp on eternal SHOWS its way,
And through the ebon walls of light
Hew down a passage unto day.
Press on! if once and twice thy feet
Slip back and tumble, harder try,
From him who never breads to meet
Danger and death, they're sure to fly
To coward ranks tho bullet speeds,
While on their breasts who never
quail.
Cleans guardian of chivalric deeds,
Bright courage Ike coat of mail.
Press on! if fortune play thee false
To-day, tomorrow she'll be true;
Whom now she sinks she now exalts,
Taking oil gifts and granting new.
The wisdom of the present hour
Makes up for folies past and gone
To weakness strength succeeds, and
power
From frailty sp,ings--press on
Press ON what though upon the ground
Thy love has been poured out like
rain!
That happiness is always found
The sweetest which is born Of pain.
Oft mid the forests deepest glooms
A Aow'r of brightest tint you'll see,
And in the dreariesi desert blooms
A never dying rose for thee.
Therefore press on! and reach the goal,
And gain the prize, and wear the
crown:
Fail not for to the steadfast soul
Come wealth and honor and renown.
To thine own self be true, and keep
Thy mind from sloth, thy heart from
soil
Press on and thou shalt surely reap
An heavenly harvest for thy toll
