A WORLD OF LOVE AT HOME.
by J. ]. REYNOLDS.

The earth has treasures fair and bright.
Deep buried in her caves;
And ocean hideth many gem
With his blue curling waves;
Yet not within her bosom dark,
Or meath the dashing foam,
Lies there treasure cqualing
A world of love at home.
True, sterling happiness and Joy
Are not with gold allied;
Nor can it yield q pleasure like y, .. ...

A sure relief to hearts that droop -... ....
Meath sorrows heavy wing,
Though care and trouble may be mine.
AS down life's path roam
I'll heed them not while still have
Aworld of love at home.

The Land Slide at TROY.

Theloss occasioned by the land slide, which
has buried ST. Peters College, is estimated
at about 81 900. 1t is yet undecided whether
the Directors of the Institution will remove
the earth, repair the breakages and complete
the building, or abandon it altogether but
probably the latter course will be adopted.
The loss falls upon the projectors and those
who have made donations.
The cause of the avalanche is said to have
been spring of water which percolates the
hill, and which it is thought penetrated be-
tween the clay and the layer Of gravel above
it. The former was thus made slippery, and
the latter, left without adequate support, gave
way.-Albany Jour.

THE PALM AND THE PINE.

When Peter led the First Crusade,
A NorSeman wooed an Arab maid.
He loved her 1.-the and palmy grace,
Aud the dark beauty of her face;
She loved his cheek, so ruddy fair,
His sunny eyes and yellow hair.
He ca!led-she left her fathers tent;
She followed wheresOe'r he went. -
She left the palms of Palestine
To sit beneath the Norland pine
She sang the musky Orient strains
Where Winter swept the sunny plains.
There natures met like night and morn
What time the morning star is born.
The child that from their meeting grew,
Hung like that star between the two
The glossy night his mother shed
From her long hair was on his head:
But in its shade they saw arise
The morning of his fathers eyes,
Beneath the Orient's tawny stain
Wandered the Norman $ crimson vein;
Beneath the Northern force was seen
The Arab sense, alert and keen.
His were the Vikings sinewy hands,
The archIng foot of Eastern lands. a.,
And in his soul conflicting strove
Northern indifference, Southern love;
The chastity of temperate blood,
lmpetuous passions fiery flood:
ihc oS'tiSu i"itii tuae hothiHy Strikes,
The jealousy a breath awakes;
The planning reasons sober gaze,
And Fancy's meteoric blaze "-' .''
And stronger, as he grew to man,
The coutradIcting natures ram
As mingled streams from IEtna flow,
One born of fire, and one of snow.
And one impelled, and one withheld,
And one obeyed, and one rebelled.
One gave him force, the other fire;
This self control, and that desire.
One filled his heart with fierce unrest;
With peace serene the other blessed. "
He knew the depth and knew the height,
Tine bounds of darkness and of light;
And who these far extremes have seen,
Must needs know all that lies between.
SO with untaught, instructive art.
He read the myriad natured heart.
He met the men Of many land;
They gave their souls into his hand;
And none of them was long unknown;
The hardest lesson was his own
But how he lived and where and when,
1t matters not to other men,
For, as a fountain disappears,
To gush again in later years,
SO nature lost again may rise
After the lapse of centuries,-
May track the hidden course of blood
Through many generations flood,
Till, on some unsupported field,
Th" latent lineage is revealed.
The hearts that met in Palestine,
And mingled meath the Norand pine,
Still beat with doubled pulse'in mine.

Close Voting.

From the returns of the New Hampshire
election, reported in the Concord Statesman,
we find that in "a instances the Republican
and Democratic candidates had exactly the
number of votes cast at the election in 1853,
by the same party. In 40 instances the party
vote was within one of that cast in the previ-
Gus year. In 90 cases it was within two; in
% cases within three; in 81 cases within
four; 25 cases within five; 26 cases within
six; IA instances within seven; II cases
within eight and in II cases within nine
votes of the last election-making 245 instan-
ces in all where there was not ten votes diff
ference between the two .years.-B Boston
