p o E r r Y.
Hopes and Fears.

Our hopes are like the wreaths Of foam
That glitter on each shining wave,
When with gushing sound they come,
The white and thirsty beach to lave.
The waters part, the ripples CLEAN
A moment on the silent shore,
And vanish, as the hopes that seem
A moment bright, and are no more.
Seeking for love, for fame, for power,
To the frail threads Of life we cling,
For HoTE will Gull wthered flower,
And tune a harp with broken string,
And hope will shed glimmering ray
OF light on pleasures ruined shrine,
For mouldering columns still look gay,
When sunbeams o'er them shine.
Though severed be loves magic chain,
Still to il broken charms we trust,
And HOPE to mend the links again,
When grief has eaten them with rust.
Frail as the bubbles on the beach
That hope may be--a transient beam,
But reft Of joy, tits sweet to teach
The heart TO hush its grief and dream.
Our hopes are like the flowers that bloom
Upon the mountains verdant side,
That mountains heart burning tomb,
Cleft by the lava's scorching tide.
They spring and flourish, fade and die,
Like human hopes-as frail and fair,
While quenchless fires beneath them lie,
Like human passions hidden there.
Our fears are like the cloud that shed
Their gloom across a summer sky;
When life is fairest, some wild dread
OF grief is ever lowering nigh.
The gloom may pass-the shadows fade,
And the sunlight only seem to reign,
But still there is lingering shade,
A FEAR that clouds will come again.
Where the bright wells Of gladness spring
Hope will the youthful heart decoy.
But fear is lowering there, TO fling
A shadow o'er the path of joy.
A canker-worm within the fruit,
A serpent in the linnet's nest,
A sentry ever grim and mute,
Is fear within the human breast.
a rainbow never spans the sky,
But some dark spirit of the storm,
With sable plume is lowering nigh,
To watch its soft and fairy form.
Hope never chants her angel song,
Or bids US rest beneath the wing,
But fear with all his phantom throng
Is in the distance lowering.
We seek the laurel wreath or fame,
And all her tickle favors trust,
To live--perchance without name,
And find the chaplet turned to dust.
Life wears away, mid smiles and tears
The wedding veal, the funeral toll;
But though o'ershadowed still by fears,
HoPE is the sunlight Of the soul.

The WAY THEY DO THINGS IN CALI.
roRNIA.--The California State Journal
tells how gay young Lothario of that
State won the love of maid in roman
tic vale of the mountains, but the crab
bed old gentleman" refused his permis-
sion to marry her. In this dilemma, the
lover hesitated but for moment; drove
down to his would-be e-father-in-l laws, de-
manded an explanation, and took satisfac-
ton in flogging him, and finally drove
away with the girl he ioyed.

meeting of the New Jersey Historical
Society at Newark, lately, Gov. Price, in
response 10 a toast, made a speech, in
which he related the following anecdote:
"On the day preceding the night on
which General Washington had deter
mined to cross the Delaware and attack
the British in Trenton, an Englishman in
the neighborhood dispatched his son with
a note to General Rahl, to warn him CT
the approaching danger. The General
being deeply absorbed in game of chess
when the note was presented, without
Withdrawing his attention from the game,
thoughtlessly put the note in his vest pock-

Charity.


Night kissed the young rose and it
bent softly to sleep. Stars shone, and
pure dew-drops hung upon its bosom and
watched its sweet slumbers. Morning
came with its dancing breezes and they
whispered to the young rose, and it
awoke joyous and smiling. Lightly it
swung to and fro in all the loyeliness Of
health and youthful innocence. Then
came the ardent sun-god sweeping from
the east and smote the young rose with
its scorching rays and it tainted. Deser-
ted and almost heart-broken, it bent to
the earth in its lovcliness and despair
Now the gentle breeze, which had been
samboling over the sea, pushing on the
home bound bark, sweeping over hill and
dale--by the neat cottage and still brook
turning the old mill, tanning the brow
of disease, and frisking the curls of inno-
cent childhood-came tripping along on
her errand of mercy and love; and when
she saw the young rose, she fastened to
kiss it, and fondly bathed its head in cool
refreshing showers, and the young rose
revived and looked, and smiled in graft
tude to the kind breeze; but she hurried
quickly away for she soon perceived that
delicious fragrance had been poured
upon her wings by the grateful rose; ard
the kind breeze was glad in heart, and
went away singing through the trees
Thus charity, like the breeze, gathers
fragrance from the dropping flowers it
refreshes, and unconsciously reaps re-
ward in the performance of its Office Of
kindness which steals on the heart like
rich perfume, to bless and to cheer.

A Good Hit.

Judge Joseph L. Brown of the Blue
Ridge Circuit is winning laurels for the
manner in which he discharges the duties
of the office.
The good order and decorum that he Sc
cures, give dignity to the court, and great
facilities to the great prosecution of busi-
ness. That there is bit Of waggery in
his composition is evident from the fol
lowing incident:
While hearing case in--eourt,
the attorney stated in his place that he
believed one of the Jurors was intoxica'
ted. The Judge addressing the man al
luded to, said
"Sir, are you drunk"
The juror, straitcning himself up in ,
bold and defiant tone, said

The Evening Hearthstonc.

Gladly now we gather aound it
For the toiling day is' done,
All the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down tAe golden sun;
Shadows lengthen on the pavement
F. Stalk like giants through the gloom.
Wander past the dusty easement
Creep around the fire lit room; s~
Draw thu curtain, close the shutter.
Place the slippers by the fire
Though the rude winds loudly mutter,
What care We for wind-sprites' ire.
What care we for outward seeming,
Fickle fortunes frown or smile,
If around us love is beamingg
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are luafting from life's ehalice
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From those lips we love the best
Oh! the JOY, the bliss Of knowing
There are hearts on which to rest
Hearts that throb With eager glalncss--
Hearts that echo to our own
With which care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnig ght hour;
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearth-stone's dover
Altar Of our ho!icst feelings,
Childhood's weiiremcmbered shrine,
Spirit yearnings, soul revealings,
Wreaths immortal round thee twine.
