Little Word.

A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere.
A word-a look-has crushed to earth
Full many budding flower,
Which, had smile but owned its birth,
Would bless life's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing
A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear-the thoughts you bring
The heartmay heal or break.

PROUD FLESH.
By JOHN @. BAKE.

Because you flourish in worldly affairs
Don't be naughty, and put on airs,
With insolent pride of stationi
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes.
But learn for the sake of your minds reposI
That wealth's bubble that comes and goes
And that all Proud Flesh, wherever it gro'
Is subject to irritation.

ODE TO COLUMBIA.
Colurnbia's shores are wild and wide,
Columbias hills are high;
And rudely planted isde bysisde,
Her forests meet the eye,
Yet narrow must those shores be made,
And low Columbias hills;
And low her ancient forest laid,
Ere freedom leaves the fields.
For It's the spot where rude and wild,
9he playd her gambois when child
The breeze that waves the mountain pine,
Is fragrant and serene;
And never clearer Sun did shine.
Than lights her vallies greeni
Yet putred must those breezes blow
That sun must set in gore,
Ere footsteps Of foreign foe,
Imprint Columbia's shore.
For Oh! Columbia's sons are FREE,
Their hearts beat high with LIBIRTT.
Though deep and wide her streams that fow'
Impetuous to the tide,
And thick and green her lauTeis grow,
On every rivers side;
But should some transatlantic host,
Pollute her waters fair,
They'll meet them on the rocky coast
And gather lawrels there.
For oh Columbia's sons are brave,
And free as oceans widest wave.
For arming boldest curiassior,
They mines Of sterling worth,
For sword and buckler, spur and spear'
Embowelled in the earth.
And ere Columbia's sons resign
That boon their fathers won,
The polished Ger from every mine
Shall glitter in the sun.
For bright the blade and sharp the spear
Which freedoms sons to battle bear.
Let Britain boast the deeds she snes oone'
Display her trophies bright,
And count her laurels bravely won,
In well contested fight;
Columbia can array band
To wrest that laurel wreath,
With keener eye and steadier hand
To strike the blow of death.
For whether on the land or sea,
Columbia's fight is victory.
Let France in blood through Europe wade
/ And in her frantic mood,
In civil discord draw the blade
To drink her children's blood,
Too dear that skill in arms is bought,
Where kindred lifeblood flows.
Columbia's sons are only taught
To triumph DER their foes.
And then to comfort, sooth, and save,
The feelings Of the conquered brave.
Then let Columbia's eagle SOAR
And bear her banners high,
With thunder in he dexter power
And lightning in her eye;
And when she sees from realms above,
The storms of war have spent,
Descending like meek eyed. dove,
The olive branch present.
Then shall beauty hand divine,
The never whitening wreath entwine.

the evidence before them, it was i'm
possible for the jury to entertain for
one instant the idea that the unfortu-

self. On the other hand, considering
the evidence respecting the phial, her
habit of making use of this dangerous
medicine, and the decided opinion of
the doctor, that her death was caused
by it, it seemed equally clear that they
must attribute her death to this cause.
Their verdict therefore, was that "shc
