ANOTHER WHEELBARRow-A BucHANAs

ANOTHER WHEELBARRow-A BUCHANAN
GIRL LOST BARREL OF SHAvINas.-Some
time ago, girl who lives in one of the best
and richest families in this city, made wa
ger of a barrel of sbavings with certain man
who does the chief grooming of. horses at o
certain stable, that Buchanan would carry
New Hampshire. Last evening, without Civ
ing him previous intimation, she wheeled
with her own hands, on wheelbafrow, the
barrel Of shavngs to his own door, about an
eighth of mile. If the public had known
of the event, doubtless the Amoskeag Vete-
ians, the City Guards and the whole fire
department, "without distinction of party
would have turned out to receive the girl
with barrel of shavings, a Ia State Street,
when Poore came with his apples. Noble
girl! If Ben Perley Poore should be govern
or of Massachusetts because of his pluck in
paying his bet, this girl ought to be the wife
of James Buchanan, and live In the White
House.--[ Manchester Mirror.

The star is not extinguished when it sets
Upon tho dull horizon; hut IL goes
To shine in other skies. then ro-appear
In ours, as fresh us when II arose.
The river is not lost, when ore the rock
IL pours its flood into the abyss below;
Its scattered ferces re-geathered from the shock,
1t hastens onward with yet fuller dow.
The bright sun dies not when the shadowing orb.
or the eclipslng moon obscures its ray
Still is shining on; and soon to us
Will bu.st uadmd d into tho JOY ofday.
The lily dies not, both flowers and leaf
Fade and are strewd upon the chill sad ground
Gone down for shelter 10 its mothers earth.
Twill rise, re-bloom, ard shed its fragrance

The dew drop dies not when it leaves the flower.
And presses upward to the beam OF morn;
II does but hide itself in light on high,
To its loved flowers at twilight To return,

So in the quiet Joy OF kindly trust,
We bid each parting saint brief farwell:
Weeping. yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping of the cell.
Softly within that peaceful rsoting place
We place their weared limbs; and bid the clay
Press lightly on them, till the night by past,
Aud the far east give note ofcomng day
The day Of re-appe airing howits speeds
He who Is true ami faithful speaks the word,
Then shall we ever ne with those we love-
Than shall we be forever with the Lord
The shout is heard the archangers voice goes
forth:
The trumphet sounds; the dead awake and sing;
The living put on glory; glad band,
They hasted up to meet their coming King.
Short death and darkness Endless life ami light
Short dimming-endless shinein in your sphere,
Where all is incorupiible and pure
The joy without the pain, the smile without the
