For the Register
HOME AT LAST!

Home at last, home at last,
From a foreign shore
And oh! it fills my soul with Joy
To know my trials o'er
There dropped parting tear
To speak the last farewell
But now I'm with my Saviour God
And all at last is well
Home at last, Sc.
Happy hearts, happy hearts
With mine now shout in joy,
And oh let Jesus dying love
Our sweetest notes employ.
And while eternal ages roll
Be this our ceaseless strain
Worthy art thou Of highest praise
The Lamb for sinners slain.
Home at last, sc.
Holy hope, holy JOY
Linger round my soul,
For oh each coming age to me
New bliss shall still unfold.
Then come to me, my friends below
To taste the joys above,
And feast your longing souls upon
The banquet of Gods love.
Home at last, &c.

A Cure for COGuetry.

Kate Selden was buXum country lass,
fair, stout and rosy. With all these al
fractions it may be imagined that she was
the belle of the village, the object of ad~
miration to a dozen or more rustic
SWANS.
OF course Kate was conscious Of her
power-it did not take her long TO learn
ihat-and coquetry came by intuition.
Among her admirers was one-Wll-
liam Barclay by name-to whom Kate
secretly gave preference. But she was
not going to Weld her consent at once
not at all. So, in the true spirit of CO.
quetrv, she would now vouchsale smile
which set his heart to beating faster, and
anon put on look of GOODNESS which FL
I led him with despair.
William got heartily tired of his treat
II ent and determined TO bring matters to
conclusion.
Now Kate said he; as they sat to-
gether one summer afternoon in the kItch-
en- where Kate was engaged in the inter
esting employment of pairing apples for a
pudding to be served up the next day,
Kate, Why can't you tell me at once
whether you like me or not, and whether
you will marry me 2
Good gracious how should know
never thought Of the subject
We'll at any rate, can you tell whether
there is anybody yoa like better
Let me think-welI, may be so, and
may be not. couldn't precisely say.
What do apples fetch bushel 2
20, confound it, why can't you answer
my question:" ,
because you hav'nt answered mine
well, two dollars. Now
Have you got the brindle COW you used
to have last spring "
yes, but
is she as good for milk as she used to
be p
Pretty near. But Kate
How warm it is. DO you like apple
Ipudding"
Yes, but like you better, and can't
live without you. That's the long and
the short of il, so if you won't marry me,
Just say so, and I'll 90 and jump into the
we'll at once. There won't be any use in
living
Don't talk so foolishly.'
But mean so. I'll wait five minutes
and if on don't say yes in that time, I'll
lump into the well, and you'll have the
satisfaction of knowing that died lor
yOn.'
Kate didn't believe this in the least,
so she continued to tease him. At the
end of the time mentioned, William rose
with a sigh, and saying, Farewell, for
ever hurried out.
Arrived at the brink of the well, he
pushed in a heavy log which lay beside it.
Kate heard the splash and rushed out to
the well. Wiiiam was nowhere to be seen.
%, William said she, wildly, the wo-
man triumphing over the coquette, 'comc
to me once more, and | will marry you,
indeed | will
On hearing these words, William step
ped forward from behind the house where
he had stationed himself, and claimed the
fuIfmcnt of the promise.
Kate objected that it was obtained on
false pretence, but finally consented TO rat
ify it.
Moral lovers who are on the point Of
sacrificing themselves upon the alter OF
affection, are requested to consider
whether a log of wood would not prove
more agreeable and equally eflicaciou
substitute.

What isn't Fair.

The Philadelphia Ledger says, it isn't
fair to ride in three cent omnibus and
hand the driver a gold dollar TO change,
when silver is at premium.
1t isn't fair to let your servants wash
the windows and pavements of your
house just at that hour in the morning
when every body is going to business.
1t isn't fair to practice on a musical
instrument, especially trombone, until
one or two o'clock at night, particularly
when somebody is sick next door.
II Iisn't fair to have champagne party,
and then to furnish your guests with
cheap, bad article, which makes most Of
them sick the next day..
Iisn't fair to charge fourteen or eigh-
teen dollars week Tor board, at the sea-
shore, and put into the bills extras never
called for making the weekly cost twen-
ty-fve Or thirty dollars.
Ii isn't fair 10 ask gentleman TO ac-
company you TO fair, in order that you
may compel him either 10 buy what you
don't want, or seem rude to lady.
Ii isn't fair TO depend on an acquaint-
ance for newspaper or book, which
you loan TO your friends, till it is worn
out and unfit to return.
1t isn't fair TO think that these remarks
are hits at your neighbors, which ought
to make them ashamed of themselves, but
that none apply to you.
