OF MYSELF.

| live an odd and dreamy life:
I've quiet joys ard pensive times:
partly live by "keeping books
And partly live by writing rhymes.
And Ihayc friends, and they are quaint:
Some are alive and some are dead;
And some are books and some are birds,
And some are breezes over head.
loved in youth-most people do:
loved heart that thrilled my own;
Some mountain streams together blend,
And some, God made to flow alone
know not why we never we'd
courted as most lovers do
We walked in churchyards moonlight nights,
And we read Petrarch through end through.
She married Then her husband died.
She married-ah, heaven how many times!
And TO yesl married, too,
Some mournful measuresin my rhymes.
And so my inner world rolled on,
And twilight flecked it here and there
aud bits of sunshine nitted in,
To cheat the shadows OF despair.
My heart seems empty oftentimes
vilt once o'eriow ed like flowers in June:
What matters though our hearts be void
They're cups that must be broken soon
Andyet not empty all this life
uGod never made worthless thing
The linnet twitt'ring in the fern
The dcw-drops in the eve Of Spring
Have uses more than we may know:
The wind has meanings solemn, grand;
Then back, dim Doubt This summer sun
Doth touch me like gentle hand.
And will live in simple faith
That life hath ends cannot see
cannot guess what note or scale
am in this worlds harmony.

"MODERN PROFANITY"

Under this head, the New York Day Book
has some severe and sensible comments up
ON the improperly of young men resorting
to the steps and vestibules of churches on
Sunday, to gaze at ladies as they go to and
from their places of worship. We fully
agree with the Day Book in condemning
such practice, and the still more imperti-
nent and unjustifable habit of passing audi
bic remarks upon ladies, particularly if un-
attended by any friend who would shield
them from insult or punish puppyism. But
we should like to know the Day BOOK
opinion of the practice of young men gazing
at young ladies inside church. Ii 1t Is

is wrong inside, and should be given up how
many young men, Tor young women either,

HONORABLE OLD AGE"

This gls. the title of a Sermon, a copy of
which is now before US, preached at the fu-
neral of Capt. Benjamin Sheppard, in the Be-
cond Presbyterian Church of this city, by
Rev. M. D Hoge.
We haveread with great pleasure this beau
tiful, eloquent and touching production. The
text is Proverbs xvi, 31-"The hoary head is
a crown of glory, if it be found in the way OF
righteousness" The sermon contains high
ly interesting sketch of the useful and virtu
Gus career of its subject. : 1t is onesof the
best of DIR. Hoge's productions, and is dis
tinpuished in an eminent degree by that

THE BENE PLANT.

From recent statements it would appear that
this plant is of great value, both for culin.
airy and medicinal purposes. The Washing
ton Union gives an abs tract of its uses, as
obtained for publication in the agricultural
report of the patent Office, now in press. 1t
was introduced into the Southern States by
the negroes from Africa. In Egypt it is
much cultivated for feeding horses, and for
culinary purposes. In Georgia the negroes
boil handful of the seeds with their allow
ance of corn. 1t is said that probably no
plant yields larger proportion of oil, which
DIR. Cooper, of Philadelphia, has pronounced
equal to the finest. 1t is siso declared to be
worthy of cultivation in the Northern and
Middle States, principally as q medicinal
plant. A gentleman gives an account of its
virtues which should recommend it to the
attention of all. He says -" 1t requires to
be sown early in April, at distance of
about foot apart. A few leaves of the
plant when green, plunged few times in
tumbier OF water, make it quite thin Jelly,
without taste or color, which children affiict
90 with the summer complaint will drink
freely, and 1t is said to be the best remedy
ever discovered. 1t has been supposed that
the lives of three hundred children wera
saved by it last summer in Baltimore. and
know the efficacy of it by experience in M,
own family" This plant will throw ON, .
great profusion of leaves by breaking off
the top when it is about half grown.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

Various W omen's Rights Conventions have
been held of late, but our Northern con-
temporaries complain that it was the same old
story in all, with the same old dramatas per
sone over again. The Women's Movem ent
according to all reliable authority, is headed
mostly by single females of venerable age,
and of very inconsiderable personal attrac-
tons. The strong minded women appear to be
all mind and no body. Any of them might
have set for the portrait of Miss Miggs in
Barnaby Ridge. The cause will never sue.
coed with such leaders. If the Women g
Convention were composed of young, pretty
frolicsome damsels, the other sex would at
tend in great numbers, and perhaps might be
cow erted from the error of their ways.
