Passed Away.
~ ,. n. A.

Who hath not heard It In the Autumn's voice,
Whose tongue speaks mutely In the changing treesf
Who hath not felt It in the dying eve,
And heard Il echoed In the passing breezef
Who hath not seen It In the fading flower,
Who hath not read it In the leafs decay,
That thus the things Of earth doomed to perish
Thus the loved Of ear tn must pass awayf
Who hath not watched some starlike hope grow dim,
And sink, at last, behind departed yearsf
Who hath not cherished fondly some great Joy,
To see It slowly melt away In tears
Who hath not felt 1t, when he gazed upon
The aeeting spiendors Of the fading dayr
That thus It is with all the things of earth
The bright and beautiful soon pass away.
The pleasure which went laughing with US once,
And watched to chase away the rising tear;
The smiles that cast their light along the way,
No longer, now, to cheer us on, appear,
But sorrows interlace across the Path,
And shadows fall where sunbeams erst did play
'Tis thus with everything that is Of earth,
And that we love is first to pass away,
Wheresnow are all these pleasures, hopes and Joys
Look down the vista of parted days,a
And rising from tho dark tomb of the Past,
They ghostlke come to meet thy fearful gaze.
But weep not for in yonder falling leaf
There is a speaking symbol which doth say:
I'Soon Memory, no more shall wake the Fast,
And thou too, shalt forever pass away"

Caught In his .Owa Trap.

Once two ministers Of the Gospel wers
conversiug on extemporaneOus preaching:
"Well." said the old divine, wsxl6g warm.
"you are running yourself BY writing your
sermons and readips them of. Your con.
gregstiOn cannot become interested 10 your
preaching; and If you were called upon to
preach Unexpectedly, unless you could get
hold of an old sermon you would be com.
pletely confused ~
The youhg divine used oil bis sloquenes,
bat in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermons expressed his own
thoughts and !fesliogs, and. if called upon,
he could preach extemporsneously.
"As we are Of. the same faith" said the
young minister, "suppose you try n It Sab
bath morning. On ascending the pu pit you
can hand me text from any part Of the Bi.
BILE, and | will convince you that can
preach without having looked at the text be.
fore I stood up. Likewise. must be alInw.
ed the ssme privilege with you. and See who
| will make the best Of It,"
The idea seemed t, delight the old gen.
tIemtn. and it was immediate Iy agreed upon.
The tollywIng Sabbath on mounting the
pupit, the senior brother handed hin a slip
OF paper, on which was written "Ani the
ass opened his .mouth .ond sp,ke;' from
which he preached glorious sGrmon, chain
I ing the attention Of his hearers, and ch I'm.
ing his old riend with el q,encs.
In the terno"n, the ycu7g brother. no
was sitting below the pulpit, hsnded his slip.
After rising and opeoing the Bible. the old
man lnoked sadly sronnd--"Am I not thine
50" PAusinR few minutes, he ran nis
fingers through his hair, Strengthened his
collar, blew his nose like the last trumpet,
and read aloud--"Am l not thine ass !"--
Another pause in viii q deadly silence
reiened. Alter reading the third lime--
"Am not thne ass !"--he looked over the
pu pit at his friend, and 10 a, dole!ul voice,
said--"I think am, brother"

Changes in the Meaning Of
Words.

The following quotations arc taken from
o recent work, entitled "a Select Glossary
of English Words used formerly in senses
diferen! from their present." in which are
traced the changes Of meaning which
many current words have undergone
Climate.-At present the temperature OF
region, but once the reeioo itself.
Corpse. Now only used FOR the body
abandoned by the spirit Of lie, but once 'or
the body oi the living man equally as OF ,he
de:d
Desire. -"'ro desire" is only to lock for
pa,d With longing now : the word has io-'
the setse OF regret or locking tGck upon the
lost bu, still loved.
Haq.-OLe of tie many words which
formerly, applied t. beth sexes, but now re-
susined only to one.
Mcua!ebant Nov, any an'ic fool; but
oD,e finea to the qlGck doctUrd VINO, al
fairs ard .uch places .. resort, having mc~9
I'D On hank Ur bench, from thence pr
claimed the vir,ne OF their drugs.
Ostler. Not formerly, ss now the ser
vont Of TIE i'm, having the care Of !hs
hor.es, but the inn keeper or host ,"host

Shrt,p.-There are now no "shre"s" save
female ones but tho word, like ulsny 9th
ets row restrained to oLe sex, was formerly
applied to bo,h.i
Sonnet.-A "sonnet" now must consist
oftxac,ly fourteen lines, neither more n"
less and those with a fixed arrangement
though admitting certain relaxation, o' th'
1hymes but "soGnet' used often to be Sp
piled 10 any ehort poem, especially OF al
amatory kind.
Steve.-This word has much narrowed it
meaning. Bath, hot,house, any room wher
dir or water were urtifcialIy heated, was
"stcve" once.

smoker OF tobacco.

would here remind the editor the Dem

merely state that we could not expect any

been guilty of so many heinous crimes Of
