DAILY EVENING STAR.
FAR, FAR AWAY

love to look on the purple West,
In the gorgeous robes of sunset drest;
With crimson pomp and hammered sheen,
Like the lordly state of dying Queen;
Inc distant woods, with their crowns Of gold,
And the hoary hills, Times fastness hold.
While zephyrs breathe tn -ir low, soft chimes,
''"e may only tell of the golden climes,
And that better land, in the realms of day,
Far, far away!'
love to stand on the mountain height,
In the magic moon Of a summer night;
While vale and meadow are fairy land,
And elves come out on the pebby strand
And fays are merry in moonlight dell,
And earth is witched with a seer-like spell,
And low the voice of the sounding sea,
Seemeth to say, in its minstrelsy-
"Ne only tell of the realms Of day,
Far, far awayl"
love to look on young face fair,
Vita the sunny smile of childhood there;
10 hear the laugh of its careless glee,
Like the gladsome shout of the summer sea.
For it seems to say, as they float along,
With may dance and the murmured song,
'lhe land!-the land by sunset sky,
Where tears are not, and We'll no more die;
Oh! the old grow young, in that realm Of day,
Far, far away.'
There, starry rivers arc murmu,ing low,
10 deathless flowers that by tn, M blow;
And the zephyrs breathe in their lute-like tones,
And hymn the stars on their golden thrones;
The sun sings out; and there is no light;
And myriad ones, in rob.s Of white,
Floating along upon azure wings,
Their raptures tell on her trt milling strings:
''Oh! let us fly to that realm of day,
Far, far away.'

From the Spirit Of the Times
A YANKEE TRICK ON a HOOsIER.

In quiet little Ohio village, many years
>ago, there was tavern where tie stages
always changed, and the passengers expec-
ted to get breakfast. The landlord of said
house, was noted for his tricks upon tray-
elers, who were allowed to get fairly seat
ed at the table, when the driver would blow
his horn (after taking his horns,) and sing
out, "Stage ready, gentlemen" whereupoa
the passengers were obliged to hurry out
and take their seats, leaving scarcely tas-
ted breakfast behind them, for which, how
ever, they had to fork over fifty cents. One
day when tie stage was approaching the
house of this obliging host, passenger
said that he had often heard Of the land
lords trick, and he was afraid they would
not be able to get any breakfast.
''What ?-how? No breakfast =" exclaim-
cd the rest.
''Exastly SO, gents, and you may as we'll
keep your seat and tim
Don't they expect the passengers to
breakfast? 20
"Oh, yes, they expect you to it, but not
to eat it. I am under the impression that
there is al understanding between the land
lord and the driver, that, fer sundry and
various drinks, etc., the latter starts before
you can scarcely commence eating"
"What Oh airth are you talkin' about?
Fl you cakelate I'm goin to pay four nine
pences for my breakfast and not get the
'valee' ont, you're mistakin' :" said a voice
from the back seat, the owner of which was
one Hezekiah Spaulding-though 'tew hum
they call him 'Hez' for Snort. ''I'm goin'
to get my breakfast here, and not pay nary
red till du'
"Then you'll be left"
"Not as you know Oh, won't
"Well, we'll see," said the other, as the
stage drove up to the door, and the land
lord, ready to ''do the hospitable," says:
'Breakfast just ready, gents. Take wash
gents! Here's water, basins, towels, and
here's soap"
After performing their ablutions, they all
proceeded to the dining room, and COM
menced a fierce onslaught upon the edibles,
though 'Hez' took his time. Scarcely had
they tasted their coffee, when they heard
the unwelcome sound of the horn, nd the
driver exclaim "Stage ready" Up rise
eight grumbling passengers, pay their fifty
cents and take their seats.
"All on board, gents" inquired the
host.
s'One missing" said they.
Proceeding to the dining-room, the host
finds 'Hez' very coolly helping himself to
