TO Mss A. 8. T., who had been weeping.
Thsu hAd'st been weeping, Annie, dear
Tor in Thy calm, mild eye,
saw the moisture of q tear,
Where nRught bat joy should lie.
Thou hadst been 9Seping, Annie, dear
For on thy blooming cheek,
saw the traces Of . tear,
Which hidden grief bespeak.
Thou HAD'sr RKEN weeping, Annie, dear
For from thy heAving breast,
The deep-drAwn sigh fell on my ear,
Although bat half expressed,
Why should yOu weep, sweet Annie, dear,
Or feel the painful smart
That from the bright eye wrings the tear,
Or sorrow from the hearth
why does the dow-drop deck the rose,
Or trickle down It's stem
TO bless the soil in whi.h it grows,
And gid the pSrfumsd gem.
The tear that rssta in bsauty's eye,
Or steals Ger keauty's face,
Waters the heart where buried lie
The seeds. Of heavenly grace.
Please weep ne mere thy tears Q dart
More deadly than thy smile:
Your tears would pin, then break my heart
While smiles can but beguile.
FELIX.

A QUARTER OF AN Hour WITH A BAD
Book. About twenty-five years ago, |
formed . most intimate acquaintance with
. young man of fine education and comman-
ding talents, and we soen became bosom
friends. One morning, after school, at a
street corner, he handed me a book, which
he said be could loan me only for one quar-
ter Of an hour. We stood at the corner
for \ few moments, while l looked at the
obscene pictures, and read q few pages in
the polluting volume. / handed it back
to him, and never saw it again /; but the
poison took efect-@the sin left its mark
l cannot erase the effect of the impure
thoughts which in that short quarter of ar
hour that vile book lodged in my heart
and which, may God forgive me, l harbor
ed there. l can and do pray against TIT
sin, and / trust, BY Gods grace, yet to con
quer it. But it is 3 thorn in my flesh, ant
still causes me great bitterness and an
guish.
Young men, as q lover of your souls,
tell you in all sincerity that there is moth
ipg which l would not willingly give t
have the veil Of oblivion east over th
scenes and sentiments of the corrupt 70
ume, which still haunt me like spectre
during my private devotion, in the san
tuary, and at the communion table. o.
what sad work did that quarter of an no,
make upon a human soul. Young me-
beware of bad books, and beware also
evil companions.
Ny early friend, after well nigh accol
plishing my ruin, became a dissoluts ma
imbibed infdel sentiment, and at last, a
