There is a Land.

There is land, a land of love,
Where sorrow all is Ger,
And all the bubbles earth can swell
Burst e'er they reach the shore;
'Tis bright, for all the bright are there,
IT'S pure, for all are pure;
IT'S happy, for the glooms of earth
Are gone to come no more.
There is land, land of flowers,
And all the flowers are fair;
But thou art Queen of all the flowers,
The fairest of the fair;
And o! if pure, bright happiness
Creates Heaven above,
Then, lady, make Heaven below,
And call that Heaven love.
/ see an Eden in those eyes,
Thy smile makes earth rejoice,
And not nightingale on earth,
Makes music like thy voice;
l love thee, yet fear that if
Thou to my care vert given,
The angels bright would envy me
And steal my flower for Heaven.

The sons of Ethiop rove abroad, tie
neighb ors' dogs are yelling; and yet
thou sailest on thy course; no tales

gaze upon thy face with hands locked
in each other, and while thy beauties
bright they trace It's vain their VOWS

There is story told Of a Scottish
clergyman of some note, who was one
day walking through the streets Of
Edingburg, dressed in his rough
country clothes, when young lady,
the leader of a group OF fashionable
bellies, surveyed him through her
quizzing glass rather more curiously
than he thought consistent with the
female delicacy. Seeming suddenly
to recollect her, be walked up to her
briskly, and seizing her by the hand
with the familiarity of an old acquain.
tance, accsted her with:
''My dear Mary, how do you do?
How did you leave your worthy
father and venerable MOTHER those
poor but honest people? and when did
you come to town.
All this was expressed With the
and energy of an old familiar
friend, and with an air little SAVIOR
ing of superiority.
The astonished fair one, who had
not time to withdraw her hand, said,
with. not a little alarm,
''You are mistaken, sir."
"Whatf'h h. replied, 'is it possible,
my dear, that you do not knog mel
''Indeed / do not, sir"
@Neither dol yos.' said the par
son. 'sGood morning, madam =
And making ceremonious bow, he
walked slowly away.
The young woman was perfectly
cured thereafter of quizzing strangers
iD the street.

What though the world looks drearily.
When thou art far away?
What though my steps go weariIy
Through all the long, long day?
There is home where tears are dry,
Where is no thought OF care
How sweet the consolation is
FL meet my darling therel
This is my solace while alone
That you and shall meet
Where all the faithful to the endo
In joy, each other greet.

All! yes, my hopes declare,
Together We shall tread its courts
I'll meet my darling there.

A NOVEL DoDGE. new dodge

A NOVEL DoDGE. new dodge
has been recently adopted by hotel
thieves. Some Of the adroit thievs
put up at hotels. and duriug the day
while gents are absent from their
rooms, they take the screws out oi
the hasp Of the bolt Of the door
aud insert in lieu thereof, wooden
plugs. After the guest locks and
bolts the door, he retires in apparent
safety, but When asleep, a jimmy will
turn the key, and a gentle push will
shove out the plugs; and the thief en-.
ters. Hotel proprletors and travellers
should carefully watch this new and
ingenious manner of thieving.

of education, in legislation, and in the forms of
political administration, and they continued to
differ in these respects when they voluntarily
allowed themselves to carry on the war of the

enthral the United Colonies from foreign rule,
which had proved to be oppressive, and TO sep
arate permanently from the mother country.
The political result was the foundation of the
Federal Republic of the free white men Of the /
colonies, constituted as they were in distinct
