THE TIME TO MARRY.

af t4H The would-be wise this council give t Let loves fond passion cool The man who early weds will live
 To think himself fool. The ealing chain that frets his limb, a Wears deeper day by day; Experience little teaches him
 Who gives theHheart it's way. He wisely weds who weddeth late,
 A thrifty. unimpassioned mate. When wrinkled oaks shall twining cling, With tendrils like the vine; When ravens, like the liDnent, sing
 With melody divine;s When honey drops from wither'd d leaves. And not from summer flowers; When winter brings us golden sheayes,
 And snow drifts sunny hours; When truth abused makes falsehood right Go, whitening, wed and find delight. The trembling notes young birds awake, Rise ssweetly into tune, As April buds expanding make
 The fiowery wreath of June; So love begun in life's young day,
 Natures with manhood's prime Defes the canker of decay,
 And stronger grows with time. o, early quatf loves nuptial wine,
 And all that's best in life is thine.

THE CEIILD'S APPEAL.

 Remember us poor children, The dreary winter comes; And when you hear his angry voice, Within your happy homes, Think on the orphan little ones, The homeless and the poor:- And may the chillness of his breath Ne'er enter at your door Remember us, poor children,
 When round your joyous hearth The voices of your darling babes, Are mingled in the mirth; - When from the bright and cheerful fire, The rays are dancing fair. Upon the roses of their cheeks, That never have known care. Remember us, poor children, Our cheeks are pale and thin; And early traces there appear, Of sorrow more than sin; The brightness of our beaming eyes, Is often dimmed with tears; Though life with Us is in it's spring, 4 The winter blights our yearsi Remember us, poor children;
 Our garments, scant and thin, let every sharp and bitter blast Oficy winter it.! Our frozen feet, through storm and snow Bleed faltering as they tread, We have no shoes, no clothes to warm, And oft, alas, no bread. Remember us, poor childreB,-
 You little ones, and dear, Who smile upon your father knee, Oh. wipe the orphan s tear. Remember us, poor children; The gifts you will have given, Will beremembered by the LAMB, Our FATHER in yon HEAVEN.

ROMANCE AND PORK AND BEANS = There are some people who appear to have nosentiment about them. This was practically illustrated couple days ago. A young friend of ours has a nice little wife, and is briskly at house keeping, but is notoriously forgetful about attending to the numerous little provisionary orders, just as necessary for happy household as love itself for people with well filled stomachs are always more inclined to love than the hungry and cold, no matterif romance and roast beef are incompatible in books. We'll, the other morning, af- ter receiving strict iniunctions not to forget this and that little trihe, and especially some 'smeat for dinner,'' 2 our friend grew sentimental with the parting endearments.
