Remembrance Of Home.

Some crave for honor, some for wealth,
And some for pleasures train;
Hut give to me my boyhnnd days,
Give me my home again;
Give me once mare the scenes of youth
Bring back the ones that's fed;
Give me the hearts bound thrr" in truth
That now nrc 'mnng the dcud
What would care for riches then,
For science deep in lore?
Unto her shrine I nccr would bend
IL had home once more.
II on earth could once again
Bring back those scenes that's past,
That in my heart are deeply lain,
I'D die content at last.
No gaudy seats there would sec,
NnuglIt that is richly rare;
But round that spot Id find for mo
The love that = not elsewhere.
For not on earth can ever man
Find love ~ truly pure,
That links and binds u kindred hand,
Nor will 50 long endure.
'Tis pure and spotlcss MS the snow
That round home doth dwell;
A paradise on earth below,
For those who love ii we'll
Then give me back my home once more,
Give me the scenes that's fed;
Give me the ones, buck here restore,
That lay among the dead.
How TIE Devil I.osr.-A young man
who ar,lcnlly desired wealth, was visited
by his satanic majesty, who tempted him
to promise his soul for eternity, il he
could be supplied in this world with all
tho money he could use. The bargain
was cOncludcd-thc devil to supply the
money, and at last have the soul, unless
the man could spend more money than
the devil could furnish. The man mar
ried-waS eNtravagant in his livinE-built
palaces-spcculatcd wildly-lostAnd gave
away fortunes, and yet his Golfers were
always full. lilo turned politician, and
bribed his way to power and fame, with
out reducing the pile" OF gold. lie be-
came iilibuStrr, and fitted out ships and
armies, hut his banker honorcd all his
drafts. lie went to the Springs" TO live,
and pHycd the usual rates Of interest for
all the money he could borrow; but though
the devil made wry faces when he came
to pay the bills, yet they were all paid
One cXpcdicnt after another failed. The
devil counted the timc-Only two years
that he must wait fr the soul-and
Knocked the efforts oCthc dcspairing man.
One more trial was resolved upon the
man started newspaper. Tho devil
grOwlcd at the end Of tho first quarter,
was savage in six months, melancholy in
nine, and "lcad broke" at the end Of the
year. So the newspaper went down, but
the soul was saved.
The clock struck ten; | seized my hat
and babe good night to all, except the lass

hall; she stood within the portal, and
/ gazcd upon her charms, ard, Oh, long
ed that moment TO clasp her in my arms.
She spoke about the moon and stars
how clear and bright they shOnc; said I
thought the crops would fail unless VIC
had rain soon. Then edged little clo-
ser put my arm around her waist, and
gAzed upon those rosy lips l longcd so
much to taSt. Said !, "My dearest Susy,
Ill never rest contcntcd, il leave to

mentCd." Then up she turned her rosy
mouth, and'cvcry thing was handy; quick
from her lips seized kiss, oh, Yankee
Doodle dandy! Then of for home | star
ted, l could no longer stay; with light
heart aud brccchcs thin, whistlcd all
tho way. Hence learn this truth, &c
bashGul youth, whoScck for welded bliss,
no lass will love until you move her feel
ings with kiss.
Who x tie Man ?-Thc Boston people
