GOOD ADVICE.

BIZ A QUAINT OLD POET.
Ye who would save your features florid
1.-the limbs, bright eyes, unwrinkled forehead
From ages devastation horrid,
Adopt this plan
Twill make in climates cold or torrid,
A hale old man.
Avoid in youth, luxurious diet:
Restrain the passions lawless riot
Devoted to domestic quiet,
Be wisely gay
So shall ye, spite Of ages fat,
Resist decay.
Seek not 10 &ammon's worship pleasure,
But seek your richest, deares, treasure,
In books ~friends, music, polished leisure;
The mind, noe sense,
Make the sole scale by which you measure
Your opulence.
This is the %solace, this the science,
L,fe's purest, sweetest, best appliance,
That disappoints not mans reliance,
Whate'er his state,
But challenges with calm defiance,
Fame, fortune, fate.

A SCENE AT THE ST. LOUIS FAIR.

The St. Louis correspondent Of the Chicago
Fress furnishes the following:
The most exciting incident, Of the Fair was the
grand run away, turnover, and smash-up among
the fast men who were showing off their horses
and sulkies in the ring Thursday afternoon
About twenty-five horses and sulkies we're flying
round the ring, ia the presence Of ten or twelve
thousand persons, when one driver ran into the

E E OF KINDNESS.

Suppose the little cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, "I'm such a tim flower
I'd better not grow up?"
How many q weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant smell;
How man y a little child would grieve
To lose it from the delli
Suppose the glistening dew-drop
Upon the grass should say,
"Whar can a little drop dot
I'd better roll away"
The blade on which it rested
Before the day was done,
Without y drop to moisten it
Would wither in the sun.
Suppose the little breezes
Upon the summer day,
Should think themselves too small 70 cool
! The traveller on his way,
, Who would not miss the smallest
And suftess ones that blow,
And think they make . great mistake
T If they were talking sol
How many deeds Of kindness
A little child may do,
Although il has so little strength
And little wisdom tool
1t wants a loving spirit
Much more than strength. to prove
How many things q child may do
For others by it's love.

Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy-strsngth came, Johni
And sturdy grew each limb.
lie brought US to the yellow Geld,
To share the toll with him;
But he went foremost in the swatb,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the pillow that heaves the soil,
Or ships that steer the main.
Nov we must lead the van, John
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it. John. you know.

When neigbLors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf Of grain.
Her lips were cherry red. Johni
Her cheeks were round and fai-.
And like a ripened peach they swelled
Against her wavy hair; j.. .-rm.
Her step fell lightly as the loaf
From of the summer tree, '
And all day busy ut the wheel
She sang to you and me. ~

And ever more our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But this is long agone. John
And we are what we ore,
And little heed we, day by day.
Her fading cheek and hair.
And when beneath Der faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
IT'S then, John, we the most shall feel
We had no friend like her
Sure there can DO no harm, John!
Thus speaking softly Ger
The blessed names of those, ere long
Shall welcome us no more.
Nay hide it not, for why sbould'st thou
An honest tear disown?

MURDER IN CHICAGo.-The scarlet era, as
the newspapers dubbed the period in which
half a dozen murderers were confined in the
Cook county Jail is over. The last of that
number has been tried and acquitted -
Jumpertz the basest and guiltiest man of
them all, has no further fear that his neck
will be stretched by the rope which ought
long ago to have relieved him of his miser-
able life. Murder in Chicago is elevated to
the dignity of a safe, if not an honorable
crime. 1t may be dangerous for an Irish
man, drunk with whisky, and maddened by
jealous rage, to stamp life out of his wife,
Such a poor devil, arrested before sober
