The Old s xtO m.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

Nigh to grave that was newly made,
Leaned Sex ton old on his earth worn spade;
His work was done, and he paused to wait
The funeral train, at the opening gate.
A relic of by gone days was he,
And his locks were grey as the foamy sea;
And these words came from his lips so thin,
1 gather them in--I gather them in
Gathcr-gather-gather-Ig gather them in.
gather them in-for man and boy,
Year after year Of grief and joy,
I've builded the houses that lie around
In every nook of this burial ground,
Mother and daughter, father and son,
Come to my solitude one by one;
But come they stranger, or come they kin,
I gather them in-I gather them in,
Gather-gather-gath gather them in.
Many are with me, yet I'm alone;
I'm KING OF THE DEAD! and make my
throne
On monument slab Of marble cold,
My sceptre of rule is the spade hold;
Come they from cottage, or come they from
hall,
Mankind are my subjects--aiI-aH-aH!
Let them loiter in pleasure or toilfully spin
gather them in-l gather them in.
gather them in-and their final rest.
Is here, dotcn HERE, in the earth's dark
breast!
And the Sexton ceased, as tho funeral trair
Wound mute o'er that solemn plain;
And said to myself, when time is told
A mightier voice, than that Sexton's old,
will be heard Ger the last trump's dreadful
din,
] gather them in-I gather them in.

[For the Literary Echo.
Memory.

Forms there are, which brightly passing
Through the noisy, busy world,
Leave their image fixed, unfading,
Kindly cheering young and old.
Often as they glide around US,
Seeming spirits, light as air,
Ger our souls there steals a sadness
Thoughts, that once were as pure.
Time has changed US, yet forever
Memory's scroll will still retain
Tokens Of our early pleasures;
Hours we shall not see again.
Eyes that sweetly beamed upon us,
Looking in, and through our own;
Hearts, quick beating, light and joyous,
Softly giving US their tone -
They have passed, like summer breezes,
Gently whispering, soft and low,
Youth will vanish, age steal DER US,
Journeying onward here below.
Strive and work with ceaseless effort;
For each day and hour of life,
Brings us nearer to the moment,
Ending all of earthly strife.

SALLY LYONS
Visit to the Ale House.

This story is founded upon brie1
narrative which met the authors eye in
an English paper
When Sally Lester gave her hand in
marriage to Ralp Lyon, she was deli
cate, timid girl of eighteen, who had
passed the springtime of life happily be-
meath her fathers roof. To her, care,
and anxiety, and trouble, were yet
strangers. The first few years of her
married life passed happily, for Ralph was
one of the kindest of husbands, and suf-
fered his wife to lean upon him so stead
lily, that the native strength of her own
character remained undcveloped.
Ralph Lyon was an industrious me-
chanic, who always had steady work and
good wages. Still he did not seem to
get ahead as some others did, notwith-
standing Sally was frugal wife and did
all her own work, instead of putting bin
to the expense of help in the family.
Of course, this being the case, it was
evident there was leak some where,
but where it was neither Ralph nor his
wife could tell.
"Thomas Jones has bought piece
of ground next to his cottage" said
Ralph, one day to Sally, and says that
next year he hopes to be able to put up
small farmhouse, big enough for them
to live in. He paid sixty dollars for the
lot, and it is at least a quarter of an
acre. He is going to put it all in
garden this spring, and he says be will
raise enough to give him potatoes, and
other vegetables for year to come. 1t
puzzles me to know how he saves mon
ey. He doesn't get any better wages
than do, and his family is quite as
large"
az am sure" returned Sally, who
felt that there was something like re-
