the best days of Caude; as follows
How suggestive is the new year OF

fearful TO reflect how many persons rush
into malrimony totally unprepared for the
awful change that awaits them. A man
takes a wife at twenty-one, before he
knows the difference between chip and
Leghorn. We would nu more grant
marriage license to anybody simply be-
cause he is Of age, than license on that
ground only TO practice as an apothecary.
Husbands ought TO be educated. We

Once had an angel sister,
Lovely as Summers dream,
With voice as sweet and gentle
AS The music of stream
All so beautiful and holy,
Was the love-light Of her eyes
Sistor angels must have lent it
From their home within the skies.
Fair and sunny were her tresses,
AS waving tress can be;
Kind in heart and pure in spirit,
None more happy were than she :;
Ever patient, meek and holy,
Lifting up herself to God,
Striving to make others happy,
Whereso'er her footsteps trod.
Her young heart was ever happy
Holding in it something dear,
Some kind word-a CLEAN Of sunshine,
That would never fail to cheer;
But the angels, on their pinions,
From the glory homes afar,
Came and bore her spirit upward,
Where the pure and sinless are
Now love to think her spirit
"Comes to visit me in dreams,n
That it gently hovers o'er me,
Like the shadow over streams.
Well know of all the pictures
That now hang on mem'ry's wall,
That Of my departed sister,
Is the dearest of them all.
