Fastidiousness,

There is proverb that "beggars should
not be choosers" The following incident
which occurred lately, goes to show it is mol
always true:
A begcar applied at the house of country
friend of his. somewhere about Christmas
time Tor something to eat. According to the
hospilabIe custom of the neiphborhood, he was
invited into the kitchen and pie placed be-
fore him-Just as The good lady of the house
was about to cut the pie, the fellow looked
up a, her with the greatest assurance in the
world, and said in an inquisilive ,one-"Is il
mnce" Upon the ladies informing him that
it was not. he Indignantly rose. said he did
not care about eating it If It tcan't mince.
This may seem curicature, but think il
likely, for an incident happening a few days
since at my own dwelling, to have actually
occurred. destitute woman called on my
family for something to eat. A few dinner
remnants were put in her basket. apd having
bag or pillow slip in her hands, she was
offered as much corn meal as would fill it,
mo n'aam" was the indignant reply. 81

Since You and I were Young.

I'm standing by the window sill,
Where we have stood of yore;
The button wood is waving still
Its branches near the door;
And near me creeps the wild rose-vine,
On which our wreaths were hung;
Still round the porch its tendrils Irvine
As when we both were young.
The little path that used to lead,
Down by the river shore,
Is overgrown with brier and weed
Not level as before
But there's no change upon the hill
From whence our voices rung;
The violets deck its summit still,
As when we both were young.
And yonder is the old oak tree,
Beneath whose spreading shade,
When our young hearts were light and free
In innocence We played
An over there, the meadow gate,
On which our playmates swung,
Still standing in its rustic state,
As when we both were young.
I see the little moss grown spot,
Beneath the yew- trees shade,
Where early neutrality-suspicious. forgot
In earth's embrace are laid;
The early friends of hope and trust,
Round whom our being chung,
AL slumber in the dust
Since you and were young.

A N e P I T A P n .
By JAMES T. FIELDS.

He was not what the world calls rich,
House and lands had none in store;
But blessed with strength for honest toll,
He neither strove nor asked for more.
His neighbors moved in higher ranks,
And most could far above him shinei
He lived with Health and brave Content,
And water drank instead of wine.
Enough for me-" he said, if here
My tables spread when hunger calls,
And leaves me something for friend
Whose lot than mine still lower falls.
And if the rainy days shall come,
And I've no silver boarded by,
How can want. if Him trust
Who feeds the ravens when they cryi
Around my board place I'll keep
For pallid lips that pine in wo,
And better gifts than l impart
Shall unseen angel hands bestow.''
See where he sleeps who served mankind,
Who watched and wept with weeping eye
Walk round his grave with revereni steps,
For there a more than hero lies
