OLD WOOD TO BURN.

Old wood 10 burn !-hcw down the Highest trunk
On ANeghanean ridges, seen afar
"A monarch crowned with his imperial star
Against the crimson where the sun has sunk
The sharp axe glittering In his kingly heart
Sends echo ringing through the golden woods
And then a crashing fall like bursting foods
When roar the surges and great mountains part
The dim year wanes-l see an indoor sight
Bright faces gathered round blazing fire
Al Yule or Pentecost when rising higher
The frolic-mir,h draws giadness from the light
OF that old oak that towering once SO vast
Laughed al tho storm, and whistled at the blast

OLD BOOKS TO READ.

Reach from their dusty places Of repose
A Virgil's lay or "Livy's pictured psge,"
The varied lore of an Augustan sge-
What visions panoramic they disclose!
With Ger attentive faculties we hear
The wandering ministrelsy Of Solos bard
Poor houseless tenant Of life ill-starred-
Or catch the minster-m ofthe seer
Chanting of Paradise land all our wo."
Then with the Christian pilgrims for our guide
We safely pass the dark and bridge-less tide
To Bsulah's land where fow'rets ever blow,
OF Shakspeares heroes trace the storisd line,
Or weigh the mercies Of the book divine

Old friends to love true soul bound TO true soul
With olden memories, and traces dear
Ofthe dead past, claiming the happy tear
That still at sight Of each will fondly roll
Old frisnds! No sycophants Of yesterday,
With smiles and protestatons never done,
Bright summsr-Aies true "lovers Of the SUM-
And all who bask beneath the golden ray.
Old friends! who on the battle field of life,
When closed the sered hosts in stormy fight,
Have raised the buckler Friendship strong ard bright
And borne US bleeding from the mortal strife
Who heart-whole, pure In faith written friend
In life and death true, unto the end! K. E.

OLD WINE TO DRINK.

Yes! All the goblet high with generous wine,
As sparkling as the draughts Of ancient Massic
Or old Falernian made by Horace classic,
Brought from the sunny valleys OF ths Rhine,
And throwing off their daughters brilliant gances-
just as the diamond, long obscured from sight,
With all the raysit last absorbed is bright,
This wine, as O or the festal board IL dances
Gives back the flashes from the bealnng eye
OF the brown vineyard beauty. our meeting:
Fill up to friends kind, cordial greeting,
And though DEFENDERS winds may rustic by
And lead the howlings of the furious storm
Our faces kinde and our hearts are warm.
