exposed, from the sturdy blows which ratified

fray, induced him to raise himself in his coffin
and open his eyes; but no sooner did he be-
hold the frightful enemy of souls, than he
leaped from the coffin, and prepared to fee.
At the sight Of corpse in flight, the two

The young lady, accompanied ty the wit

the three knights, who dared hardly raise their

THE DYING BOYS REQUEST.

Come closer, closer, sister dear,
can't see thee now;
Ny eye is dull, my sight is drear,
Sister. is this death upon my brow1
Hark, TO notes SO soft and grand,
They fill me with delight;
They sweep along the airy strand,
Like beauty on the light.
Thy hand to me, kind mother, dear,
Thy touch so soft, give me again;
Thy gentle voice, SO sweet, mother dear,
Oh let me hear It's mellow strain,
For soon your darling will no more
Listen to your tones of love;
5ooE he'll sing Gods praises o'er,
In nobler strain above.
Weep not for me. when am gone,
Parents dear, kind sister, brother;
Then a brighter day will dawn,
And I'll oe happy with another;
One who has watched over me,
With more than parental love;
One who will watch over thee,
And guide thee to a world above.
Oh, be gentle, heed His teachings,
If you would be happy here;
And whom time and care are over,
Have home in higher sphere
Think l am there, and it may prove,
A beacon hope to guide you on
Through life, as on you move
Ger its thorny path-when L am gone

ssCAN'r AFFORD Ir.''-A short time ago we
were under the necessity Of making apurciIase
of some potatoes, when We accidentally met a
farmer coming into town with load. We
asked him the prce-it suited US and we told
him we would take two Or three bags, as we
wanted some for planting. They were un-
loaded and we paid him, at the same time
asked him if he took a newspaper, TO which
he replied that he got ssone from Philadel-
piiia' VIC ''a-a him that he ought to take a
county paper, particularly the Journal as it
would be TO his interest. He responded by
saying that be sscould not afford it, The fact
is he did not know the price of potatoes in
town, and if he sold the whole load at the same
price he sold to US, he must have lost enough
on his potatoes to pay for county paper three
or four years. We don't wish to make any fur
ther comments as the facts arc plain.-La,r-
