BACON AND GREENS.
From the Petersburg Democrat.

have lived long enough to be rarely mistaken,
And bore my full share of ife's changeabe scenes,
Bui my woes have been solaced by good greens and
bacon,
And my joys have been doubled by bacon and green's.
What thriI Of remembrance cen now they awaken,
OF chadhoods gay morning and youths merry
scenes,
When one day we had greens and plaeful Of bacon,
And the next we had bacon and platefu Of greens.
All! well remember when sad and forsaken,
Heart-wrung by the scorn of miss in her teens,
How rush'd from her sight to my loved green's and
bacon,
And forgot my despair over bacon and green's
When the banks refused specie and credit was shaken,
shared in the wreck and was ruin'd in means;
Ny friends all declared had not saved my bacon,
Bot / lyed-for | still had my bacon and greens.
O! there : charm in this dish, rightly taken,
That from custards and jellies an epicure weans;
Stick your fork in the at-wap greens round the
bacou,
And you'll vow there is nothing like bacon and
greens.
II some fairy grant OF three wishes would make
go worthless as !, and so laden with sins,
I'd wish all the greens in the word-then the bacon
And then wish for little more bacon and green's.
POSTSCRIPT.
return TO confess that for once I'm mistaken,
A. much as I've known Of the world and its scenes,
There thing that's equal TO bnth greens and bacon,
And that is a dish Of good bacon and greens.

upon our hearts. Ten summers had shone
" on her head, and every year had added to
her beauty and sweetness, and strengthened
the golden link that bound her to our hearts.
But cloud gathered over us that was to
deepen until itlid her from our eyes. The
destroyer came, and all her childish beauty
withered at histouch. Darhly and heavily the
shadowsof night settled upon her, and she was
sone--and now as sit down at the anniver-
sary of her death. how fresh and distinct come
back the memories Of that angel sister. Here

cious relics of the departed. ] hear her voice
rising i'll some familiar song, or ringing eut its
sweet and clear tones in the exuberance of
her mirth and joy. During all her painful
though brief illness, she had cheerfully taken
the medicine from our hands. 1t was enough
for US to tell her it was for her good--she
took it without InurInur and thanked us for
il; and when the sad hour of parting came,
seemed to hear that voice saying, the cup that

Ii is the Lord-the Lord reigns, and in the
very hour Of need, the breaking heart gave
in us enthusiastically will be done. That dar-
ling sister passed away with a smile as though
some sweet vision of heaven were opening npon
her. All was over Her fright eyes closed
upon the scenes of earth to opsn amid the
glories OF better Land The music Of her
voice was bushed to our ears, that it might
minsle with the melodies of Heaven. We
saw her dressed for the grave. She looked as
though she hsdlain down to sleep, tired out
with play-her hands folded on her breast
a smile still playing upon her lips. We laid
her down gently in her grave by the side of
her younger sister, who had already been three
years among the Angels. We left her in that
peaceful rest where the rain ard the dew fall,
and the flowers bloom and fade. The scene
is still before me and everything around US
brings back her loved inageto my mind. She
is gone and we miss her ever more. Not
