To q FREUD on his Marriage

How shall a man fore doom to lone estate,
Untimely old, irreverently gray,
Much like patch of dusky snow in May,
Dead sleeping in a hollow, all too lste,-
How shall SO poor thing congratulate
The blest completion Of patent wooing
Or how commend younger man for doing
What ne'er to do hath been his fault or fate?
There is fable that once did read,
Ofs bad angel that was some way good,
And therefore on the brink of heaven he stood,
Looking each way, and no way could proceed;
Till at last he purged away his sin
By loving all the joy he saw within.

Home Association.
By JAMEs y. NoBBs.
The Home Of my youth,
l say of q truth,
Is coupled with incidents pleasant;
My thoughts as they ope
Are mingled with hope,
For blessings in future, and present.
While viewing the hills,
And still murm'ring rills,
The farm, and its still fertile meadow,
The cot near the wildwood
dwelt in my childhood,
The time since my youth seems shadow.
But near this dear cot
Is an ever loved spot
In my infaptils hours twas my home
That cot is displaced;-
Time has not dsfaced
Its mem'rys from mind, as roam.
The rock where l played
Where hours have stayed,
Is ever at memory's shrine;
Those pleasures enjoyed
Shall ne'er be alloyed
With scenes that are later Of mine.
The school house il still
By that lovely rill;-
Some teachers now rest meath the sod =
Some school-mates have letf,
And some we're bereft
They're gone to be judged by their God.
But casting my eye,
A few espy
That yet in this vale" still remain;
Iplainly can see
How changed they be
But nothing shall break friendships chain.
The church-yard's spot
Twill ne'er be forgot,
A MOTHER. and friends are at rest;
Their mem'ry is sweet
But pleasures complete
trust is their lot with the blest.
Now whether roam,
Or live at my home,
These mem'rys will still be entwined
Around my lone heart,
And may they ne'er part,
But live, and remain thus combined.
