The ArEOsy.

10 the emerald meadows,
Below leafy hill,
A child had launched his navy
OF lilies on the rill
A precious little argosy,
Those lilies fresh and white
AS on the dancing wave they rode,
He shouted with delight.
lie watched their dainty beauty,
As they gaily hOated on,
Now toying round the velvet banks
And rocking in the sun;
And then, like silver arrows,
In waves of winter light
And flashing down the fOamy fall,
And shooting out Of sight.
The birds sung paans Ger him,
The sky was fragrant still,
Bright butterflies sailed round his ships,
Soft winds crept round the hill
His loose locks floating in the sun,
He wsrbles with the stream,
For life there in the meadows,
Had the glory of dream.
Beside mighty river
Where it meets the sounding main,
An old man saw his stately ships
Floating off to sea again.
Winds nesting in their great white wings
And rainbows arched each PROV,
With streaming banners on they speed;
Why clouds his furrowed brow
The old man sits and pOnders
When night winds vex the sea,
And booming pillows pain his ear
With awful prophesy.
Alas his treasures bring no JOY,
His sleep is not repose-
Like the deep rush of the river,
His restless being flows.
His stately ships return no more,
He bends beneath his care,
But still looks out upon the deep
To see if they are there;
His brain grows faint with thinking,
For thoughts like spectreS rise,
Till the soothing hand Of sldmber
Softly shuts his aching eyes.
He sports now by the streamlet,
In the meadows green and wide;
lie sees his ships of lilies
On the sunny ripples glide;
The soft breeze wantons with his hair,
His heart beats blithe and free
But hush no breath-a shoreless main
Bears on life's argosy.-N T. b. Post.

METHoDIsM IN THE UNITED STATEs.-The Ed.
itor of the Zion's Herald takes the following
view OF the progress Of Meteodism in this coun,
try. He says
American Methodism is not yet century
old. In the incredibly short space of eighty
seven years, it has built four thousand two hun.
dred and twenty churches, (which is a little
less than one for every week of her existence, J
at a cost of fourteen millions seven hundred
and thirty thousand five hundred and seventy
one dollars. 1t has also erected and endowed
its colleges and numerous academies with large
sums. 1t has built innumerable parsonages,
and supplied itself with Church and Sabbath
School literature. Now, most Of these church
es, having been newly erected, rebuilt, or re-
modelled, and most of these vast OUTLAWS hav-
ing been made within the last quarter of CEN
tury, we think it no exaggeration to estimate
the expenditures of Methodsm in the United
States for some purposes, at an average very
little short of one million of dollars per annum
for the last twenty-five years; in addition to
that, it has paid for the support of its ministry"

A PRAcTIcAL JoKE.-The only practical joke
in which Mr. Barham was ever personally en-
gagged was as a boy at Canterbury, when, with
schoolfellow, now gallant major "famed fol

sembly, the latter held up penny tart, and
said solemnly: Whoever speaks first shall

A boy was caught in the act of stealing dried
berries in front of store the other day, and
was locked up in dark closet by the grocer.
Then the boy commenced begging most pathet-
icay to be released, and after using all the per-
suasion that his young imagination could in
vent proposed :-"Now, if you'll let me out,
and send for my daddy, he'll pay you for the
berries, and lick me besides" This appeal
was too much for the grocery man to stand out
against. --

New USE FOR BEDBUGs.- The N. York. Sun
day Atlas announces that discovery of the ut
most Importance 10 wine drinkers has been
made by Mr.. Struggles, maker of port and
champagne wine in New Jersey. The Lancas-
ter Express, from which we derive our facts,
states that the rapid consumption Of cockroach-
es used to give the nutty and peculiarly pquant
flavor to wine, had made it difficult to find a
sufficient supply. In this dilemma the wine
maker conceived the happy idea that bedbugs
might be used as a substitute. He tried the
experiment, and the result was far more salts
factory than he had anticipated. 1t was found
that quart of bedbugs contained as much of
the flavoring principle as three pints or more of
the roaches-and that the former have but lit
tie of that narcotic, Or sleep producing effect,
which is attributed to the latter. Contracts
have been made with some of the fashionable
boarding house keepers in Philadelphia and N.
York for ample supply of this new article of
traffic. 1t is thought the boarders will be some
what pleased with the intelligence.
