WHAT A NosE.-Not many years ago, in
the village of Eatonton, Georgia, man
made his appearance and stopped at tav-
ern. He had a most remarkable-nose
which almost entirely monopolized his en-
tire face-red, Roman, enormous. The CLAN
ces cast at it, and the remarks made about
it, had rendered its owner somewhat sensi-
tive upon the subject. A half grownnegr boy
was summoned by the proprietor 10 carry
his baggage to his room. Cuffee was much
taken with the nose. AS he came out Of the
room unable TO contain himself any longer,
he exclaimed, "Golly, what nosew Our
taveller overheard. him. and went to his
master with demand for his punishment
Cuffee was called up, and, at the suggestion
of some bystanders, was let off on condition
that he would apologize TO the offended
gentleman. This he very readily agreed to
do. Walking to the room where our travel
Ter was, and touching his hat and humbly
bowing lie said, "Massa, you ain't got nc

SUMNER AND WINTER.

Ah! those were very pleasant days,
The days we spent together,
Come back through memory's golden haze,
Or cloudless summer weather!
That NAV deem I've saved at least
Some fragrants from my lile's scattered least.
We wandered past the shallow stream,
And through the new mown hay:
Each hour was like some glorious dream
From Paradise astray.
The scent of roses on the air
Seemed part of life, which was SO fair.
We roamed amid the thick green wood
Through the cool, pleasant trees;
Aud ah! this world seemed very good,
With-all its memories.
1 never saw the moon so bright
AS through the boughs that summer night.
And now hear the bitter rain,
Sweep from the angry heaven
As blindly 'gainst the window pane
The withered leaves are driven;
Then faint and lorn the moon appears
And dim, like one who smiles through tears.
That ghostly moons uncertain light
Flung DER the guant, bare trees
The starless sorrow of the night
The wailing OF the breeze:
Ali me it was another earth
Where summer reigned in light and mirlh.
And love so pleasant, although brief,
Was made for summer days,
Departing ere the falling leaf,
And autumn's mellow rays;
Nor does il seem so very strange
That we, like all things else, should change.
Our dream has vanished as 1t came;
Some hours Of care it snatched;
Perchance we played dangerous game,
But well the players matched;
Without reproach in either heart,
We clasp cold hands, and so we part.

TO MY LITTLE DAUGHTER.
BY C. ID. STEWART.

Soft be thy pillow my darling,
That bears thee in sumber 10 night;
Sweet be thy dreams, till the morning
Wakes thee 10 fairer delight:
My precious, my innocent darling,
My loving, my beautiful one,
God keep thee from sickness and sorrow,
Till llfe's little journey is done.
What were the light of the morrow,
II thou should'st not waken again
What but cloud and a tempest,
And sadness and anguish, and pain?
The curls OH thy brow are our sunshine /;
The light of thine eye is our Joy;
The smile on thy lip brings us gladness,
And pleasure unmixed with alloy.
Surely the angels my darling,
Will watch thee in waking and sleep,
And God in his infinite goodness,
The way of thy footsteps will keep;
Tenderly, lovingly, bending,
Shield her, good angels, 10 night,
Sweet be her slumber, till morning
Wakes her to dearer delight.
