COurting by Daylight.

al don't see why people cannot do
their counting by daylight, thereby saving
an expense Of lights, fuel and forenoon
maps. "A Breakfast Table Talk.
Whew! preach that doctrine until
your head is gray, and you are as tooth
less as a newborn babe, and still young
folks will set up until the stars grow
tired of watching, and the ROSTERS begin
to crow.
There is a sort of fascination in it, a
positive denial to the contrary, notwith-
standing. An indescrible, undeniable
charm-charm in being the sole occu-
pant of front parlor, with nothing to
modest or make afraid; the sofa drawn
up before the shining CRATE, and the lamp
regulated to steady blaze that will not
eclipse the brightness Of the eyes, or
made particularly pleasing by hearing
the last pair of household feet take a
bedtime departure for the upper cham
bers, and feeling that the everswinging
parlor door Will remain closed until one
of the parties concerned choose to open
it.
Talk of counting bydaylight! Think of
tanning ones arm by quick, hasty with
drawals from around certain waist at
the incessant ringing of the door-bell, or
seeing the puff combs and cnrls flying in
every direction, by sound of coming
footsteps. Imagine proud lover at the
feet of fair lady, putting forth an eloquent,
long avowal, with extraordinary express
ions fitting over the face; and, lat the same
moment, a puzzled little countenance
peering through the open door, wonder
ing what makes Mr.. N-'pray with his
eyes wide openp Or more disagreeable
still, have mama open the door without
the prelude of rap, Of course, just at the
moment you venture to test the tempera-
ture and sweetness of her daughters lips.
And then what time in the day could
one take? Not in the forenoon, certain
ly, when music teachers and fashionable
callers are in vogue; not in the afternoon
when ones senses are Supplied by eating
Of hearty dinner; not on Sunday
when everybody is expected to go to
church; not in church, with pantom-
imic gestures that set the occupants
of neighboring pews into a broad grin;
bat in the veritable season set in old
primitive days--a time and season for
counting. An hour when you can pinch
Susie's fingers to make her tell who she
likes best; look in Sues hand to see if her
fortune runs with yours, and see what
letter is formed therein; and kiss her
when you please, hug her when you
please; and all this when the old folks are
sleeping when the sound of footsteps are
scattering in the streets, and there is no
one on earth so near Susie as yourself

waste mothers beauty, strength, limbs,
senses, and estates; but her relation as a
mother is as the sun when it goes forth

son may be grey-headed, but her motherly
relation is ever in its flourish. 1t may be
autumn, yes, winter, with a woman, but
with the mother, as mother, it is always
spring. Alas, how little do we Appreciate
mothers tenderness while living! How
needless are we in you tn of all her anx-
ieties and kindness But, when she is
dead and gone-when the cares and cold
ness of the world come whitening to our
heart-when we experience how hard it is
to find true sympathy-how few love us

THE PASS OF DEATH.

1t was narrow pass,
Watered with human tears,
For death had kept the outer gate
Almost six thousand years.
And the ceaseless tread of a worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
Thronging, jostling, hurrying by,
As if they were only born to die.
stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And crown was on his head;
But Death with look of scorn
Arrested him and said,
Gin humber dress must the king draw
near,
For the crown and the purple are useless
here:"
Next came man of wealth;
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold;
But Death, who careth not tor rank,
Careth as little for gold
"Here that scroll cannot allow,
For the gold of the richest is powerless
now"
Another followed fast,
And book was in his hand,
Filled with the flashes of burning thought
That are known in many land
But the child Of genius quailed to hear
Deaths pitiless demand
"Here that book cannot enter with thee,
For the bright flash OF genius is nothing to
me-"
Next came maiden fair,
With that eye so deeply bright,
That stirs within you strange sweet care,
Should you meet on summer night;
But Death ere the gentle maid passed
through,
Snatched away its light
"Beauty is power in the world" he saith,
"But what can it do in the Pass Of DEATH
A youth of sickly mien
Followed in the thoughtful mood,
Whose heart was filled with love to God
And the early brotherhood;
Death felt he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good

must let ii pass to the realms above !

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gid the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
MOreland Il Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.
