The bloody work was done,
And samuel at his cottage door

And By hi.", sitting on stool
Ills liite AIindchild, William Poole -
They saw tn dead with gashly wounds
And limbs burnt oS. bone by;
An tn I'D SaEri a., shook his head,

Nv no fell ia the great victory"
"NOw tell Inc what twas all about"
Young William Poole he cries,
While looking in his graz" IS face
With wonder waiting eyes
Now tell Ine all about the war,
And what they killed the Irish for!''
''They were Know Meetings." Samuel cried
''WhO put them all to route
But whst they shot and burned them for,
/ could not well ma Ike out,
But MAJOR Blrbee said - ouoth he
That EaS glorious gtctory."
The Dutch and Irish lived in peace
o. silvery stream hard by;
The Hirdoos burnt tn ir dwellings down
And they were forced TO Nv;
20 WIN thsir wives and children fed,
Nor had they where TO rest their head -
With FIRE and guns the city round
Was wasted far and wide
And MANY an Irish mother then
And new born baby di d:

Quoth Samuel's little son.
"Nay, nay nv little bow" said he

And CGysHnSS said: Americans

BEAUTIFUL EXrRACT.-When the summer
OF youth Is slowly wasting away on the night
fail OF age, and the shadow of the past be-
comes deeper aud deeper, and life wears to
Its close, 1t Is pleasant to look through the
vista Of tlnie upon the SOrrows and felicities of
our earliest years. If we have 4 home to
shelter, and hearts to rejoice with us, and
fneads have been gathered together around
our htSsldes, then the rough place of wayfar-
inS will have been worn and smoothed away.
IN the twilight of life while, the MANY spots
we have passed through, will grow brighter
anu more beautiful. Happy, indeed, are they
whose Intercourse with the world has not
changed the tone of their holier feelings, or
broken those musical chords of the heart,
whose vibrations are So melodious, so tender
and touching in the evening of age
