THE WORLDS CHANGES.

The Solemn Shadow that bears in his hands
The conauering Scythe and the Glass Of Sands,
Paused once on his flight when the sunrise shOne
On q warike city's towers Of stone;
And he asked Of a panophed soldier near
"How long has this fortressed city been here?"
And the man looked up, Mans pride on his brow
The city stands here from the ages OF old
And as it was then, and it is now,
So it will endure till the funeral knen ,
OF the world be knolled,
As Eternitys annals shall tell.
And after thousand years were DER,
The Shadow paused DER the spot once more.
And vestige was none Of a city there,
But lakes lay blue, and plains lay bare,
And the marshaed corn stood high and pale,
And Shepherd piped Of love in a vale.
"Howl" spake the Shadow, "can temple and tower
Thus fleet ike mist from the morning hour2"
But the shepherd shook the locks from his brow
"The world is filled with sheep and corn;
Thus was it Of old, thus is it nowi
Thus too, it will be while moon and sun
Rule night and morn,
For nature and life are one,
And after thousand wears were DER,
The Shadow paused DER the spot once more.
And loi irsthe room Of the meadow -lands,
sea foamed far over saffron sands
And flashed in the noOntide bright and dark,
And fisher was casting his net from bark;
"How" maryeIed the Shadow, Where then is the
plain!
And where be the acres Of golden grant"
But the fisher dashed off the salt sprayfrom his brow
"The waters begirdle the earth aRay,
The sea ever rolled as it rOleth nOws
What babblest thou about grain and heldI
By night and day
Man looks for what Ocean yields"
And after thousand years were DER,
The shadow paused over the spot once more.
And the ruddy rays OF the eventide
Were gliding the skirts Of forest wide
The moss on the trees looked old so odl
And valley and hill, the ancient mould
Was rObed in sward, an evergreen cloak
And woodman sung as he felled an oak.
Him asked the Shadow Remembered thou
ANY trace Of a sea where wave those treesF'
But the woodman laughed; Said he, 81 troW,
II Oaks and pines do flourish and ial,
1t is not amid seas;
The earth is one forest all. )" - y
And after thousand years were o'er,
The Shadow paused over the spot once more.
And what saw the Shadow7 A city again,
But peopled with pale mechanical men,
With workhouses filled, and prisons, and marts,
And faces that spake exAminate hearts.
Strange picture and sad was the Shadows thought;
And, turning to one Of the Ghastly, he sought
For a clue in words to the When and the How
OF the ominous change he now beheld; ....
But the man uplifted his care-worn brow
"Changel What was Life ever but Conflict and
Change?
From the ages OF old
Hath aiElictiOn been widening its range"
"EnoughI said the Shadow and passed from the spot
At last it is vanished, the beautiful youth
Of the earth, to return with no Tomorrow.
All changes have chequered MortAlity's lot;
But this is the darkest-for knowledge and Truth
Are but golden gates to the Temple oi SorrOwl

Il Happy RetOrt.-An instance of Irish
READINGS at repartee occurred the other day at
the Capitol, which is too good to be lost.
Certain members of Congress, finding the
debates rather dry in the House, stepped out
to refresh their thirsty spirits at Casarish' re-
feCtOry, which is conveniently contiguous. AS
they passed out, they saw some eight or nine
laborers, harnessed to sled, hauling a stone
about heavy enough for one horse, while one
acting as driver, leisurely walked along side.

seemed 10 present parallel to their own ar

AN IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER ORGAN.--A penny
paper calls us the Corporation organ, tuned regu-
larry at n cost to the city of only $4,000 year,
which is cheap, considering the service rendered"
We believe this is pretty nearly correct. We ad-
yertise for the Corporation at $4,000 year; and
from the amount already advertised, we think it too
cheap, and have some intention Of sending in pc
tition to increase the compensation to five or six
thousand dollars year, the ground that the
great city of New York can afford to pay for its
advertisements good price as the honest and
tidy Irish chambermaids. But we not the Cor
poraton organ alone-we are the organ of the
Irish chambermaids, who pay much better than the
Corporation-we are the organ of auctioneers-we
are the organ Of shipping merchants-we are tho
organ Of those who have to let houses-we are
the organ Of those who want to sell bonds and to
buy bonds-we are the organ, also, Of many Of
those young people who get married; and we are
the organ Of many of those unfortunate beings who
die and have to be buried.
Now, all these different classes, to whom the
organ, pay US much better than the Corporation Of
the great city of New York; therefore, what the
penny paper says-that our services are cheap-is
very true and we have the irresistible impulse to
demand FIVE or six, or seven thousand dollars, for
the services we give in publishing their notices
among our three hundred thousand readers in this
community
