The Pilgrim Fathers.

The breaking waves dashed high
On stern and rock-bound coast.
And the woods against the stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed;
And the heavy night hung dark,
The hills and waters DER;
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.
They, the true-hearted, came,
Not with the roll Of stirring drum,
Or the trumpet that sings of fame
Not as the flying come,
In silence and IN fear;
They shook the depths of the deserts gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm they sang,
And the stars heard, and the sea;
And the sounding aisles Of the dim woods rang
TO the anthem Of the free:
The ocean eagle scared
From MS nest by the white waves foam,
And the rocking pines Of the forest roared =
This was their welcome homo.
What sought they thus afar;
Bright jewels, bright jewels, bright jewels of
the mine,
The wealth of seas, the spoils Of war;
They sought faiths pure shrine
Ay, call 1t holy ground,-
The spot where first they trod
They have left unstaned what there they
found,
Freedom to worship God

Power of Imagination.

A few years since, Elijah Barnes, Of
Pennsy Iyania, killed raulesnake in his
field without any injury TO himself, and
Immediately after put On his sons waist
coat, both bcingof one color. Herelurncd
to his house, and on attempting to button
his waistcoat, he found to his aslonishment
that il was much too small. His imagua-
ton was now wrought to a high pitch,
and he instantly conceived The idea that he
had been bitten imperceptlbIy by the snake,
and was thus swollen by It's poison. He
grew suddenly very i'll, and took his bed.
Rhe family, in great alarm and confusion,
summoned three physicians, and the usual
remedies were prescribed and admins
tered. The patient, however, grew worse
every minute, until at length his son came
home with his fathers waistcoat dangling
about him. The mystery was soon un-
folded, and the patient being relieved from
his imaginary aPprehensions, dismissed
his physicians and was restored to health.

An EnfaiIible Cure.

WrE.-'O, Doctor, if you could only
cure my poor dear Augustus, | should be
so thankful. Two or three times a week
he is attacked with these horrible verti-
goes, accompanied by weakness of the
knees, and slight wandering of the mind,
indicated by his calling dear papa, who is
deacon you know, a jolly old brick
PATIENT,-' Don't suppose, old Ippecac,
that I'm drunk little bricky, that's all. ;
DoCToR.-' These peculiar cases of
vertigo are very prevalent, ma'am, and
very obstinate, and change of climate is
the only remedy. | recommend there
fore, a removal to the State of Maine,
where the salubrity of the atmosphere
alone will at once eradicate the disease
