The MEN WHO WOULD RULE.-Co Considering
the almost countless numbers of ofice-seekers
now-a-days, the following story, though old, is
not out of place:
A number of politicians, all of whom were
seeking Office under government, were seated
on tavern porch talking, when an old topper
named john D, person who is very loqua-
eious when corned, but exactly the opposite
when sober, said that II the company had no OBJ
jections, be would tell them story They told
him to fire away, whereupon he spoke as fol-
lows:
A certain King-I don't recollect his name
had philosopher upon whose Judgment he
always depended. Now it so happened that
one day the King took it into his head to 60
hunting, and after summoning his mobiles aud
making the necessary preparations, he sum-
moned the philosopher aud asked him if it
would rain. The philosopher told him it would
not, and he aud his mobiles departed. While
journeyng along they met q countryman,
mounted on a jackass. He advised them to re-
turn;-for, said he, it certainly will rain. They
smiled contemptuously ON him and passed on.
Before they had gone many miles, however,
they had reason to regret not having taken the
rustic's advice. as a heavy shower coming up,
they were dreDched to the skin. When they
lad returned to the palace, the King repri-
handed the philosopher severely.
met countryman, said be, and he knows

great deal more than you, for be told me it
would rain, whereas yeu told me II would not.
The King theo gave him bis walking papers
and sent for the countryman, who soon made
his appearance. :.
Tell me, said the King, how you knew 1t
would rain.
/ didn't know It. said the rustic, my jackass
told me.
And how, pray, did be tell yOui asked She
King.
BY pricking up bis ears, your Majesty, re-
turned the rustic.
The King sent the rustic away, and procured
the old jackass Of him he placed him-the jack
ass-in the Office the philosopher had filled.
And here, said Jack, looking awful wise, Ia
where the King made very great mistake.
How SO inquired his auditors, looking very
much interested.
why, ever since that time, said Jack, with a
grin on his phiz eUsry jGcsass '0dnts an office!

The hopes gone by, the hopes that made
A golden path to other years:
Ere vet our hearts had known shade,
Or life had lost what life endears:
The bounding heart, the spirits play,
The thought that seemed on wings to fly
We ask in vain-ah. where are theyf
The days, the dreams, the hopes gone by
The brightness and the bloom have fed,
And fife seems cold as winter snow:
For some are changed, and some are dead,
That knew and loved us long ago
Those golden visions come no more,
As once they came when hope was high;
Yet dear till life's last pulse is o'er,

THE RAINY DAY.

The day Is cold, and dark, and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
Nv life is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
Ny thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick In the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart, and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all:
into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
