POETRY.
"Thc Old, Old story"


Summer moonbeams softly playing,
Light the woods of Castle Keep;
AMI tlieeo SEQ maiden straying,
Where the darkest shadow creep.
She is listening purely,
To the woocr at her side;
'Tis the old, old story" surely,
Running on like time and tide.
Maiden fair, oh have care; s,
Vows are mauy---truth is rare. 81
lilo is courtly, she is simple;
Lordly doublet speaks his lot;
She is wearing hood and wimplc-
His the castle, hers the cot
Sweeter far she deems his whisper
Than the night birds d,tlcct trill;
She is smiling-he bcguiling---
'Tis the cold, old story" still.
Maiden fair, oh have care;
Vows arc many--truthi rare
The autumn sun is quickly going
Behind the woods of Castle Keep;
The air is chill, the night wind blowing,
And there l see maidon weep.
Her checks arc whito, her brow is aching
The "old, old story" sad and brief;
Ofhoart betrayed, and left, nigh breaking
In mute despair and lonely grief.
Maidens fair, oh have u care;
Vows are many-truth is rare.

Hard of Hearing--A Love story.

"A young Jonathan once courted the
daughter of an old man that lived down
East, but, forsooth, was more capricious
than limited in hearing, as the sequel Will
show:
1t was a stormy night in the ides of
March, if Imistako not, when lightning
and loud peals of thunder answered thun,

of asking the old man S permission to marry
"Sal." jonathan resolved to "pop it" to
the old man nextduy. Night passed and on
the dawn of another day the old man wis
found in his barn lot feeding his pigs, and
Jonathan resolved to ask for Sal.
Scarce had Il minute elapsed, after Jona-
than made his resolution, ere he bid the
old man "good morning" Now Jonathmis
heart heat now he scratohcd his head,
and ever and anon gave birth to a pensive
yawn-J onathan declared he'd as lief take
"thirty-one straps" as to ask the cold
man )" but said he aloud to himself, how
ever, here goes it; faint heart never won
u fair girl, and addressed the old man thus
| say, old man want to marry your
daughter"
You want to borrow my halter, l

Jonathan putting his mouth close to the
old mans ear, and spe king in deafening
tone, "Pvc five hundlyd pounds of mon

Old man stepping back as if greatly

all the neighborhood has use for"
Jonathan not yet the victim of despair
and putting his mouth to the old man ear,

BY this time the old lady came up and
observing Jonathan's unfortunatcluck, she
put her mouth to the old mans car and
screamed out like wounded Yahoo.

"Why daddy you don't understand

Giles got cold and TIE itch, ch What's

the old man aimed a blow at Jonathan's
head with his cane, but happily for Jona-
than he lodged it. Nor did the rage of
the old man stop at this, but with angry
countennnce he made after Jonathan, who
took to his heels; nor did Jonathan's luck
stop here. He did not go far from the old
man, who run him tight race, before JON

That never bascly bends tho knee,
That will not bear feathers weight
OF slavery's Chain, for small or great
That truly speaks from God within,
That never makes a league with sin,
That snaps the fettors dcspots make, ,
And loves the truth for. its own sake,
That worships God, and him alone, =
And bows no more than at His throne;
That trembles at no tyranPs nod,
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or ban;
This is the soul that makes man.
