To Jos tlyn.

When the morning hullclujahs
Shake the .o,dcn-ce i, mned skies.
And from each bright flower censor,
OLor Breathing songs arise;
When the wild birds upward carol
t'Ieaves the slitterins waves of air
Like wing of molten silver
Josclyn, knccl for me in prayer
When the gorgeous frontcd sunset
On the battlcmcncd hills,
Plants the banners Of his spIendors
Blowing out in fiery thrills
When the awful ranks Of midnight
10 the chanting of the sea
Move in slow maj site marches
Sweetest Jose:yn, dream Of me.
When the blue-birds fill the meadows
With living joy AL day.
And the orphan buds of April
Crimson in the crown Of May,
From the fullness of thy nature
Wells Of Immortality
With Il Poets inspiration,
IrlEk. in memory Of me.
When the queen June. to her bosom,
Gathers up her blossoms sweet
When the roses crown her forehead.
And the harvcss kiss her feet;
When the brooks shout--glory glory.
And the woodlands answer-praisc
And the rivers roll, devotion.
rraycrful, think of me always
And when Autumn from his forehead
Pushes back his purple locks.
And the sea-ward winds pipe shrilly
On the hoary-fronted rocks;
When the rcd leaves wildly driftcd
Where the summer lights have been
Crimson-linc the drowsy hollows-
Think of me, oh Josclyn
And when Der the northland hill-tsps
Bleak the wintry tcmpcsts blow,
Till the trailing rosc-vines SILVER
In Il shr0ud of whitest snow
Sigh not for the vanished splcnlor-
For the beauties lost and gone
Only think of me, and whisper:
I'm my heart the spring lives on. ~
And, oh Josclyn! At the last
When the laboring timc is past
When the harvest sheaycs are bound
And the rcapcrs lily-crowned;
Up the path by Angles trod-
Ger the solemn hills of Col
Ihro the diamond gates of day
We shall swcctly take over way.

The Rising Generation.

1t was said by somebody--John Neal, we
believe--for he is always uttering quaint
things frcm that huge package of brains,
planted on his shoulders--that there were
no boys and glrls now days, but that they
sprung out Of their mothers orms into men
and ,somen. We confess that odd as the
idea is, there seems to be little too much
truth in it. The boys are eager to reach
manhood, which they are apt to think con-
sists in smoking segars, chewing tobacco,
drinking toddies, and uttering blasphemous
words as sweet morsels from off their
tongues. a
The girls are equally eager to attain the
glories Of womanhood which consists In
wearing elegant dresses, spinning street
yarns, going TO parties, and shall we say
it'--trying with all their might to get has'
bands! Wen let the last expression stand
though we incur therereby the risk of hav.
ing our ears we'll boxed.
So the one class are ever in a hurry to
cast off their jackets for long tailed coats,
and their candy for segars; and the other to
step out Of their caterpillar chrysaiis of pan.
talets and short dresses, into the full blown
butterfly beauty of womanhood.
How often do we witness in our every
day observation the evidence of this state
of affairs. Girls, however, as genera
thing have many redeeming traits whici
cannot be met with in boys. TRere is !
greater degree Of shyness or bashfulness
in them: while boys sre more bold and dar,

for their disorderly conduct, and straight

cherish the notion that they are really mel
