RACK BONE.

To dress and sit and walk genteely,
To bow with easy grace,
To speak in accents soft and mealy,
To wear a studied face
These and goadly gifts and grace,
Are well enough | own;
But what we want in this soft age
Is bone, backbone.
A heart to feel, a mind to think,
Despite each base control,
Atongue to speak, a hand to work,
The purpose of the soul
By these and other goodly tokens
1t may be surely known
If this or that, with his booy,
Has bone, backbone.
Give me a man that's all a man,
Who stands up straight and strong,
Who loves the plain and simple right,
And will not yield to wrong;
Who deals with firm, untrembling hand,

tory to leaping into bed. and upon looking
at his couch, found the bed clothes had been
stolen With that resignation for which the
profession is celebrated, he walked off to a

A HARD HIr-The hardest hit at dane.
ing that we have heard Of Of late land we
have heard of some hard ones,) is said to
have occurred with an old brother, who was
addressed by lady advocate Of dancing
in a style something like this. "Well, MIR.
H.-with all your objections to dancing
you will be obliged to admit that it is not
half 80 bad as to be in another room at an
evening party drinking or playing cards, or
perhaps slandering their neighbors."
"I do candidly confess as you say that
il is not half as bad as either of these, and
if the members of your church are obliged
to drink, gamble, slander their neighbors, or
dance, say by all means dance, or which
is still better, stay at home. As for ours
we are not obliged to do either.--S. w.
