H We have a friend who is some
what noted practical joker. residing in a
pleasant country residence near the ocean.
Some time since he had visit from his and
our friend, Professor, of poetic mem
DRY. The professor is a keen trout fisher
man, and seeing large pond at some
distance from r. residence inquired
"Can you fish for outin that ponds'
80, yes" said R., .'as we'll as not"
Possible? Where's your rod?"
81 have none. I'm no fisherman.-
But if you want to try, we'll go over to s.,
and get a tackle, and You may try your
hand at it tomorrow"
1t was thereupon agreed TO do SO, and
the day was passed by the worthy professor
in preparations for angling. The next
morning early, R. drove with him over to
the pond, and he whipped it all round, to
windwaEd and leeward, and finally waded
in up to his waist, and threw his flies moss
skillully, but never raised fin. Al
length, as the sun grew lntolerabiy hot, he
turned to r., who lay under tree solacing
himself with book and, cigar, and ex-
claimed. Il don't believe there's trout
in your pond"
81 don't know that there is, replied R..
imperturbably.
"Why you told me there was
80, no." said R.. very leisurely turning
over and lighting another cigar, "yor
asked me if you could fish for trout here
and said you could as well as not. I've
seen folks doit often; but 1 never knew o
one being caught here
The result might be anticipated. r
walked home, and the professor drove the
horses; nor did r. venture within reach o

Joyous wandered o'er,
And felt it happiness to think
OF others joys in store.
There was green and shady bower.

Or mused the hours away
And there my youthful heart first felt
The pleasing pains that tspring
From loves all-conquering influence,
mat gentle memories bring.

That decks the tulips leaf;
The opening Of the rose-bud's lips;
SO beautiful, and brief!
Yes-Nature in her matchless skill

Though wears, with sorrows coronal,
Have crowned my faded brow!
Ny boyhood's hours 10, where are ye,
Gone-mingled with the past!
Lies river onward sweeps away
Nothing on earth shall last!
Youth withers in the passing gale.
Loves ties are broken too,
And life at last presents the mind
But little sweet or newt H4E
That cot is there-the trees are green,
And Nature smiles as then;
But D, my heart is whitening fast,
Never to bloom again. ~
The loved companions of my youth

Only one friend my spirit knows

Are gone--and, silent in the grave
Alone, wait the call.
