Slavery nor involuntary seryitude should

ment Of crime. We, then, under the or
dnance Of 81 are the first bonn in the cause
Of freedom. Yes, Virginians remember
this; that with warm hearts and strong arms
your sons will stand up for Liberty and the
Right; and Ohio, cemented as she is with
the mighty West is irresistible as the arm
les of Israel. Striking for the faith once

No man can tell but lie that loves his

But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with US and dream

We laugh, yet few we shame,
The gentle never
Stay, then, till sorrow dies
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine forever!

The Aims of Life.

II is as true as truth, chat the duties Of
life are more han life itself 10 live COM
prehends far more than the mere eating,
drinking and sleeping Of every day exis-
tence. Gifted, as man is with an active,
inquiring mind; endowed with intellectual
and moral powers; with heart sensitive
and alive to pleasure and 10 sorrowi with
an immortal soul and an after destiny,-the
ends and aims of his existance are certain
ly as lofty as life and enjoyment, which now
so much occupy and engross the thoughts
Of mortal. Shakespeare speaks of "the
touch Of nature" hich makes all men "kin"
uniting them together by a common bond
of brotherhood. So to live as to benefit
the human race, rather than to act as a
bane and an injury Of every one. There is
no doubt that an act of charity or beneYo-
lence done TO another, creates IN the human
bosom a melody sweeter than the diyinest
harmony, and brings a reward far more
precious than the diamonds OF the richest
mines of the wealth of the most golden
mountains. And in pursuing the journey
- life-a rugged and lhOrny pathway,
truly, with few flowers to beaulify and
adorn tit is well to remember that all
have cares, troubles and sorrows which
little kindness may alleviate if not remove.
II is well 10 remember that,

The Old Love.

BY FITzJANEs o'RRIAN.
met her; She was thin and old:
She stopped, and trnd with totterng feet
The hair was gray, that once was gold,
The voice was harsh that once was sweet,
Her hands were dwindled, and her eyes,
Robbed Of the girlish light Of Joy,
Were DIM; felt sad surprise
That had loved her when boy.
But yet a something in her air
Restored me 10 the ysnish'd time,
My heart grew young and seemed to wear
The brightness of my youthful prime,
I took her wiIhered hand in mine
It's touch recalled ghost of joy
| kissed il with revereni sigh,
For | had loved her when boy. .--

"Mach of care
Every human heart must beau"

Every human heart must bear"
and that true benevolence consists not alone
in good wishes. but in active deeds.
The consciousness of having made one
heart happier during the day might well
serve as reward for the performance of a
good action. The promPtings of benevO-
lent nature are pure and lofty, and shed a
tinge of tranquil happiness over the whole
life Of him who possesses it. As the morn
ing dew arises to heaven rich with the fra
GRANGE of the flowers it has refreshed and
frightened, SO true benevolence ascends to
the skies, laden with the blessings of all
those upon whom it has shed one little ray
of warm and genial sunshine.
