PHILOSOPHY OF SPORT.

Fall lightly their forehead, Time, strew roses on
their way.
The young in heart however DID, that prize the pres
ent day,
And, wiser than the pompous proud are wise enough
to play.
ike to see a man forget his blood is growing cold
And leap, or swim, gather flowers oblivious of his
gold;
And mix with children in their sport nor think that
he is old.
love to see the man of care take pleasure in toy;
love to see him ride and tread the grass with
joy,
Or hunt the flying cricket ball, as lusty as boy.
All sports that spare the humblest pan-that neither
main nor kill
That lead US to the quiet field, to the wholesome
hill
Are duties which the poor of heart relgiously fulfil
The road of life is hard enough bestrewn with Stag
and thorn;
would not mock the simplest JOY that made it less
forlorn,
But fill its evening path with flowers as fresh as those
of morn.
Give us but health and peace of mind whate'er our
cline clan
Wen take delight in simple things, nor deem that
sports unman;
And let the proud who fly no kites despise us, as
they can!

The GooD TINE CoMING.-The Boston Post
says, ''the good time coming" is not very
remote. A new journal, published at Prov
idence, 4. l., called ''The Una" and devoted
to the elevation of woman" contains q
very bold and ingenious "Apology for Aspa-
sia," the celebrated Greek Courtesan,
Probably an essay in extenuation Of the
conduct of Herodias-or poem in praise
of Jezebel-or a eulogy on Deliah-or
vindication of Potiphar's wife! With such
exemplars as Aspasia and other ssstrong
minded ladies of history, the elevation of
woman is sure thing. We wish we could
say as much for the elevation of men. The
writer of the apology" subscribes herself
Cfsa woman, of course) by the hard name of
''lron"-so that, after all, the article may
be merely iron ic. We should hope SO.

THE OLD PAUPER.
BY FANNY FERN.

she smoothed the old mans grey locks, and
placed little basket in his hand; mind

and the streets are so crowded. If you

"Never fear," said the old man, taking
his staff from the corner I" 1 shall be back

close air of the heated school-room, flushed
with delight at their temporary emancipa-
tion, and were trying the strength of their
respective lungs in way that made the old
mans deafness very questionable af1iction.
The overtasked seamstress in her shabby
little bonnet, looked On hopelessly at the
moving panorama. She had hecome habit
uated to brick pavements and Babel sounds
AN aching side, weary eyes and dull
dead weight at her heart, as she creeps from
her daily task, home to her gloomy attic, to
look at the patch of the blue sky from her
roof window. Now and then blade of
grass that had forced it's way through the
brick payements, brings to her mind the
fragrant bayfield,, and sunny meadow, and
dim old woods Of her country home; and
she wonders do the little wild-fo still
grow in their favorite nook, and if the little
brook where she bathed her feet, goes bab

silver in the clear moonbeams, and if her
old father sat in the honeysuckle porch for
the wind to lift the silver hairs from his
heated temples, and if her little brother and
sister sat under the old shady oak making
tea-sets Of acorns.

the little semastress disappears around the
corner with the crown.

dragging the old man, covered with dust
and blood to the side walk, jumped on his
coach box, cracked his whip, and thanked

turned to his cigar, that accidents always
seemed to happen nowadays to people from
whom one couldn't get fee. Itwas case
he didn't feel called upon to notice; his net
was spread for golden fish.
Yes, as the coachman said, "he was an
old beggar, for whom nobody cared."-
Nobody but sweet young girl, whose heart
was fresh as Eden, who never stopped to
inquire whether those grey hairs belonged
to pauper, as she raised his dropping
head with her acknowledgement hand, and
wiped the dust and gore from those aged
lips.
1t was useluss- is dead. Never mind,
she was only poor beggar-nobody cares;"
nobody but poor Leta, who has no other
friend in the wide world, now those aged
eyes are closed She knews that nobody
cares, when she throws herself over that
dead body, and weeps such bitter tears.
She knows that nobody cares, when the
rough man comes with the poor-house
hearse, and handles the coffin so carelessly.
She knows nobody cares, when she follows
it on foot in the livery Of broken heart,
or when she sits there by the grave, and
prays in her fresh youth to die.
A gentle arm is thrown around her neck
the bright young stranger has found her.
On the same kind breast where the fathers
