substance Of truth, Why is it that the beauty
of our females fade so soon? Or, to 90 at
once to the real issue, for beauty is only per

as | can for dozen. Send em up. If you
haven't any paper, get up and name the friend

At this stage Of the proceeding, a stalwart
man of six feet and half in his stockings, a
notorious Gnbeliever, and confirmed wag to
boot, rose in the midst OF the congregation. a
mark for all, and midst the winks and becks
and smiles of the auditory, said "Mr. Bu-
chard, | want you to pray for jim Thompson" I"
The reverend petitioner saw, from the ex-
cltement produced in the the audience, that
Oziel was "hard case"

For nature then in silence sleeps,
And silence broods DER land and sea;
Oh. in that STILL mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams | start
To find thee but a fancy flower.
Thou cherished idol of my heart,
Thou hast each dream and thought Of mine
Have in turn one thought Of thine?
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whate 'cr may be my fortune here;

Only one boon, gentle tear;

And may the beams of peace and love

Farewell my dreams are still with thee,
Hast thou one tender thought of me-
Ny joys like summer birds may fly,
Ny hopes like summer blooms depart,
Bat there's one flower that cannot die

Farewell farewell. my far-off friend!
Between Us broad, blue rivers flow,
