"For the first five years of profess

81 had to row against the wind, and
stream and tide" "And what did you
do 2" was our question. "Dol" re-
piled he, edo! why, rowed on to be
sure" And he did row on, and to
good purpose, too, until he came to the
sea, took favorable breeZes and brought
his voyage to most favorable termi-
nation, leaving behind him a most en-
viable reputation for wealth and wis
dom, impressing the stamp of his Wig
orous mind and excellent character

which he lived, and obtaining az I'M

WANTS OF THE AGES

1t is a mans destiny still to be
longing for something, and the
qualification of one set of wishes
but prepares the unsatistied soul
for tire conception of another
The child of a year wants little
but food and sleep, and no sooner
is he supplied with sufficient al
lowance ofeitlfer OF those excellent
things, than he begins whimper-
ing, OF yelling it may be, for the
other. At three, the young ur-
chin becomes enamored Of sugar.
plums, apple-pies and contection-
ary. AT six his imagination runs
upon kites, marbles, and play time.
At ten the boy wants to leave
school and have nothing to do but
90 bird-nesting and blackberry
hunting. At fifteen he wants a
beard, a watch, and a pair of Well
ington boots. At twenty he
wishes TO cut a figure and rides
horses; sometimes his thirst for
display breaks out in dandyism,
and sometimes in poetry he wants
sadly to be in love, and takes it
for granted all the ladies are dying
for him. The young man of twen-
ty-fve wants a wife; and at thirty
he longs to be single again.
From thirty to forty he wants to
be rich, and thinks more of making
money than spending it. AT fifty
he wants excellent dinners and
capital wine. and a nap in the af-
teFnoon. The respectable old
gentleman of sixty wants to retire
from business with a snug inde-
pendence of three or four hundred
thousand, to marry his daughters,
set up his sons, and live in the
country; and then for the rest of
his life he wants to be young
again.--PoRTFoLIo.

Gentlemen, there was time when,
[ blush to say it, | too was bachelor

could hardly expect to find. Every

WOULD NOT BID FAREWELL.

| would not wish to bid farewell
To earth, so fair and bright,
When fingers round my soul the spell
Ofbearty, soft and light
And when 90 many joys are thrown
From pleasures shining hand;
Like pearls, from anGol-fngers strcwn,
Along lifc's beaten strand.
| would not wish to fade away,
Like flowers of earthly cline,
When pleasant is the passing day,
And sweet the summer time;
And when around me Friendship smiles,
And gales blow smooth and free,
To bear my bark to golden isles,
Upon life's sunny sea.
| would not wish to yield my breath,
And see my bright hopes fade,
And crumble, at the toach of death,
Into eternal shade
To be but like fading flower,
Or like a star of light,
Falling from heaven in midnight hour,
Forever down to night.
And yet, at last, must come time,
Made up of long farewells,
When on the soul will steal the chime
Of heavens vesper bells.
Then would sail out from life's sea,
When all around grows dark;
And welcome would the passage be,
Though in DEATHS silent bark.

The broken ties of happier days,
How often do they seem
TO come before eur mental gaze
Like a remembered dream;
Around us each discovered Chain
In sparkling ruin lies,
And earthly hand shall ne'er again
Unite those broken ties.
The parents of our youthful home,
Tho kindred that we loved,
Far from our arms perchancc may roam,
To desert seas removed;
Or we have watched their parting breath
And closed their weary eyes,
And sighed to think how sadly death
Can sever human ties.
The friends. the loved ones of our youth,
They too have gone, or changed
Or worse than all, their love and truth
Are darkened and estrangcd.
They meet us in a glittering throng
With cold averted eyes;
And wonder that we weep tnelr wrong
And mourn our broken ties.
Oh. who in such a world as this
Gould bear bis lot of pain,
D.I not one radiant hope Of bliss
Uncioudcd yet remain
That hope the sovereign Lord has given,
Who rcigns above the skies
Hope that unitcs our souls to heaven
BY Faiths enduring ties.
Each care, each i'll of mortal birth
Is sent in pitying love
TO lift the lingering heart from earth
And speed its fight above;
And every pang that wrings the breast,
And every Joy that dies,
Tells us to seek e Purer rest,
And trust to holier tics.

The true woman, for whose
ambition a husbands love and her
children's alteration are sufficient,
who applies her military instincts
to the discipline of her household,
and whose legislative faculties ex-
ercise themselves in making laws
for her nurse whose intellect has
field enough for her in commun-
ion with her husband, and whose
heart asks no other hOnors than
his love and admiration woman
who does not think it a weakness
to attend to her toilet and who
does not disdain to be beautiful,
who believes in the virtue of glossy
hair and well-ftting gowns, and
who eschews rents and ravelled
edges, slipshod shoes and audacious
make-ups; a woman who speaks
low, and does not speak much;
who is patient and gentle, and in
tellectual and industrious; who
loves more than she reasons, and
yet does not love blindly; who
never scolds and rarely argues,
but adjusts with a smile; such a
woman is the wife we have all
dreamed of once in our lives, and
is the mother we still worship in
