A PROFESSIONAL SCAR.
BY AN OLD LAWYER.

Your kind letter, Henry, came duly to
hand, and you will be surprised TO learn
that careless question of yours will draw
forth enough to cover sheet: what
caused the scar on my temple?'
1t is a professional scnr, Harry; one
that have carried ever since my eari-

rived at tolerable old age, and have
many, many intimate friends, it IS most
singular fact that you are the first person
that inquired into its origin. I can tell
you all about it., but must avoid names

in the incident are yet living, and l am

THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE.

Hard by the broad and dusty street,
Where naples throw acoOling shade,
And frequent tread of playful feet,
A bare and beaten way was made;
The school house staudeth, old and rude,
And there score of years hath stood.
The windows curtainless and bare,
Are marred with many broken pane,
Until the shrill autumnal air,
Or wintry blast, beat through again;
And the rude benches and the walls
Are rough with uncouth cuts and scrawls.
The rill that babbles sparkling by,
Has not free unbroken flow;
Its floods, quaint, mimic mills supply,
And infant navies Ger it 60;
And where it slumbers still and wide,
The boys in winter skate and slide.
And passing by the half-ope'd door,
You hear the teacher, loud and clear,
Pouring his precepts evermore
Into the young and listless ear.
Patience and hope his tolls attend,
And to his heart their sunshine lend.
A plain, contented man is he,
He burns no incense mean to fame;
'Tis his alike unmoved to be,
Midst kindling flattcry or blame:
A husbandman in minds rich soil,
He deems it proud to delve and toll.
He loves to gaze on coming years,
And watch those buoyant spirits climb
Frail creatures of his cares and fears
High up the fame-paved mount of Time,
And thinks right hopefully to share
Their triumphs and their honors there.
Now at the golden wane Of day,
O'erioyed to hail their labors Ger,
The little legions wild for play,
Burst forth with frolic and nproar,
While down their mirth's Lotahrian tide,
All thoughts of books and !essous glide.
Dearer than all earth's kingly halls
Thou, rough old school house, art to me;
Thy time e-browned sides and crumbling walls
Hoard many precious memory
Of that far past, when life was new,
Seasons were days, and dreams were true.
Not in high, pompous courts of State,
Proud freedoms land, thy hopes enshrine
But where for life's great combat wait
Truths armies, radiant and divine.
Times mightiest destinies are wrought
Where thy young, potent soul is taught.
