As feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its flight.
/ see the lights of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And feeling of sadness come DER me,
That my heart cannot resist.
j. A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
But resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
"a That shall soothe this restless feeling,
An Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant foot steps echo
Through .he corridors of Time.
= For, like strains Of martial music,
Their mighty t1ioaghts suggest
Lies endless roiland endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gush from his heart
AS showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who. through long days Of labor,
And nights of devoid ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
or wonderful srelodies.
q Such songs have power to quiet
The restless puls of care,
And come like the benediction
hatfollows after prayer.
f Then read from the treasured volume
The poem OF thy choice,
: And lend to the rhyme of the poet,
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that iniest the day
Shall fold their tent like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

| While the honorable body were in eve-
ming session, man brought % them q
subject enveloped in Tag, which upon
cursory examination. being pronounced
"good," was accepted and paid for the
usual price of $50. The students were
promised the cutting UP Of the subject on
the ensuing day, and the body was ac
cordingly placed in the dissecting room.
The next morning, however, during the
lecture, strange sounds were heard in he
room, and cries as of a person suffacating.
The students looked aghast, thoughts Of
ghosts and hobgoblins, of butchered snb-
jects and supernatural appearances
Some of the professors looked dubious
and others turned pale as though they
had seen vision, when it was suddenly
espied that the strong bag which contain
ed their last purch ase of human flesh, was
houndering about on the floor, and from
it was evidently proceeding the sounds
they had heard. which now resolved
themselves into cries of "Murther, muf-
ther! Howly Mother and Blessed Mary.

deliver me! Sure I am living and am
not -Murtheri Murther!''
Selling hold Of the bag, they tore it open
and beheld a genuine son of Erin. more

around with utter astonishment upon the
scene before him. After while, Pat
told them that the last he remembered of
the preceding day was that he was drink.

and when dead drunk he was undoabted-

Such was his fright that poor Pat solemn

professor and students, with hearty laugh

take to his heels.
THE LAST SHILLING.--As an expression
of extreme destitution, the 4'last shilling
is term that has done good service, and
to be cut of with a shilling has been the
most intensified form Of utter wretched-
ness. But the time has come at last when
society itself is on the point Of being res
duced to its last shilling. That respecta-
BILE coin has been banished from circula
ton by act of Congress, and every we'll
disposed personis readyto exclaim Amen
to the decree. It's notmore than twenty
| five years since we were as much annoy
ed and swindled by the old-fashioned pis-
tareen as we have been by the Spanish
shillings. But the pistareens were all
legislated out of existence. and one Of
these coins now is as great curiosity as
Queen Anne's farthing. We hope that
all the Spanish coins will very soon begin
to disappear. and that we shall literally

er year. Collectors of curious coins
would do well to preserve few shillings
