GOOD-NIGIIT.

Goodnight thou hsty, setting sun
Within whose golden car
The noisy day exhausted lies,
And catches with his dropping eyes
The glimpse OF many u star,
Through dstsnt shadows gathering dun.
Goodnight thou day so nearly spent,
Whose banner towards the west.
Rctires along the evening hills,
While voices OF u thousand rillS
Invite the world TO rest.
Where night has pitched her starry tent.
Good night! yc care, that yexed my mind
Throughout the troubled dsyi
Your voices no longer hear
Your coming steps no more fear;
Like dreams now haste away,
Nor leave memory behind.
Goodnight yo sorrows keen and deep.
My bleeding heart forsake;
With all your tortures now hcgoncl
And leave me till the morrow dawn;
Nor como in dreams. to wake
My soul from out its talmy sleep.
Goodnight ye burning thoughts OF fame
That struggle towards the stars;
Amid the silent midnight hours,
Come not, though wreathed with brightest 0owers
Though borne on radiant cars
That mount the skies on wheels of flame
Good night all human hate and scorn--
pass beyond your sway;
For now, amid the shades of night
That hide the busy world from sight,
take my quiet way
Through blissful regions towards the morn
Goodnight to every worldly fate;
Now shut is evenings door,
Uplift your wings, Ae angel dreams,
Aud watt me to those starry streams
That fash on beauty's shore,
Beyond the mystic Golden Gate.

COOPERATION OF Tue WIFE,--There is much
good sense aud truth in the remark of a modern
author, that no man ever prospered in the world
without the cooperation of his wife. If she
untes in mutual endeavors or rewards his labor
with an endaarinS smile, with what confidence
will he resort to his merchandise or his farm, fly
over lanls, sail over saas, meet difficulty aud en-
counter danger, if he knows that he is not
spending his stengh in vain, but that his labor
will be rewarded BY the sweets of home Soil
tude and disappointment enter the history OF
every mans life and he has not half provided
for his voyage, who finds but an associate for
happy hours, while for months Of darkness an
distress no sympathzing partner is prepOrcl.
