MORNING AND EVENING.
ny JANE GRAY.


On the shore Of dim and misty sea,
With broad green field before him,
Stood childish form, in the early morn,
With the blue sky banging DER him;
And his heart leaped forth 10 the glad green
earth,
Like fountain TO freedom springing;
For blossoming trees waved there in the
breeze,
And birds ii the boughs were singing.
But a voice from behind fell on his ear;
aThough bright the sunshine DER thee,
o, child, beware OF the lurking snare
That lies in the path before thee !'
And the youth went forth TO the Field of
Life,
With high souls firm endeavor;
But the warning word in the morning heard
In his heart was treasured ever.
Years were gone-and an old man stood
On the verge of swelling ocean,
And the foamy spray on his locks OF gray
Was tossed by the wild commotion
The MORN was past-and the glorious NOON ;
AT The TWILIGHT HOUR we find him,
With lis shadows dim encircling him
And the Field of Life behind him.
But he looked not back-his eyes were fixed
On the misty sea before him
For he knew If the sun OF life was gone
Heavens starlight still was o'er him.
So he gazed with a calm, untroubled brow,
Till the mist grew an angels pinion,
And it bore him away 10 brighter day
In the spirits high dominion

a chance he said-"Now, friends, I'LL tell
you little story. Once the divl offered NJ
gentleman large sum of money, if he
would commit one of the three crimes. and
might have his choice-to get drunk, com.
init adultery, or murder AM faith he chose
TO get drunk, just what the divil wanted him
to, for after he got drunk, he committed the
other crimes without the asking" This was
perfect clincher, and the discussion ended.

BY c. II. WILEY, OF NORTH CAROLINA.

For nearly six thousand years the world
was without one pure patriot /; for nearly six
thousand years our race had been making
progress before it produced soldier with
out ambition, staiesm an without guile, a
ruler who preferred 10 live under equal laws
rather than be the law himself.
He had been looked for: through the long
years Of injustice and misrule, Of fraud and
force, his expected coming shed hope in
the hearts Of men. And often it seemed
that he had come but they who ran 10
meet him and laid offerings at his feet were
smote with iron rods and delivered into bon
dage,
Sill this hope gathered strength, and the
race advanced in the attributes of him who
came 10 redeem it from its fallen estate.

(But the first one on the docket,)
OF man who stood with brick in his hat,
And his hand in his breeches pocket.

And mut.ered single d----n,
Then aung out doleful lay
Twas the drunkard's song of the dram
tDram dram dram!

Dram dram dram
Till I've almost lost my sight
For my eyes are running-red--
And my hats without crown;

And my boots are all run down;
My boots are all run dowa,
And am run down too -

And drink this grocery dry"
But the rain was falling fast,
And the wind was getting cold,
So he laid HIM down at last,
With his story half untold.
Next morn he was seen lying fiat,
And o, l think twas sin
This man we lett with brick in his hat,
Was found too dead to skin

And think you'll acknowledge the corn,n
That am good at telling the truth.

for burns.
when about 5 years of age, woman
told me if ever got burned, to plunge the

have frequently been benefited by her ad-
vice. When burned with hot iron, at
once immerse the burned part in cold wa

looking in contrary direction, took hold
Of the anvil cutter with my right-hand
thumb and finger, when the small piece OF
iron | had cut off stuck to the end of my
finger; | shook it of, and at once dipped
my hand in cold water and held il there
for about one minute, after which | dipped
it in spirits of turpentine and Pnton cloth

Ballad of the Canal.

We were crowded in the cabin,
Not soul had room TO sleep;
1t was midnight on the waters,
And the banks were very steep.
'Tis fearful thing when sleeping
To be startled by the shock,
And to hear the rafting trumpet
Thunder, Coming to a lock -
So we shuddcred there in silence,
For the stoutest berth was shook,
While the wooden gates were opened
And the mate talked with the cook.
As thus we lay in darkness,
Each one wishing we were there,
We are through ~ the captain shouted,
And he sat down on a chair.
And his little daughter whispered,
Thinking that he ought to know,
Isn't travelling by canal boats,
Just as safe as it is Slow
Then he kissed the little maiden,
And with better cheer we spoke,
And we trotted into Pittsburgh
When the morn looked thro' the smoke
