The Old Folks Room.

The old man sat by the chimney side
His face wrinkled and wan,
And he lean'd both hands on his stout oak cane
As if all his work was done.
His coat was of good old fashioned gray,
The pockets were deep and wide
Where his "specs' and his steel tobacco-boI
Lay snugly by his side.
The old man likes to stir the fire,
So near him the tongs were kept:
Sometimes he unused as he gazed on the Goals,
Sometimes he sat and slept
What saw he in the embers there!
All pictures of other years;
And now and then awakened smiles,
But oftener started tears.
His good wife sat on the other side,
In a high-ta:ked, flag-seat chair
see meath the pile of her muslin cap,
The sheen of her silvery hair
There's happy look on her aged face,
As she busily knits for him,
And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped,
For grandmother's eyes are dim.
Their children come and read the news,
To pass the time each day !;
How it stirs the blood in the old mans heart,
To hear of the world away.
'Tis a homely scene, told you so,
But pleasant it is to view;
At least thought it so myself,
And sketchcd it down for you.
BE kind unto the old, my friend,
They're worn with this worlds strife,
Though brayely once perchance they fought
The stern, fierce battle of life.
They taught your youthful feet to climb
Upward life's rugged steep;
Then let us gently lead them down
To where the weary sleep.

Curious, though, that we should both

Curious, though, that we should both
fall in it.
They pushed on again for the melons.
Presently they caught by the cords,
and headlong they went into heap of
briars and thistles, and the like, which
had been placed there for their express
accommodation.
Such a getting up STAIRS muttered
one.
'Nettles and thistles, how they prick,
exclaimed the other.
They now determined to go on more
cautiously. AT length they arrived at
the patch.
How thick they are. Joe, come here.
There are more than dozen fat ones
right here.'
And down they sat in the midst of
them, and seemed to conclude that they
were amply rewarded for all their mis-
haps.
Here, Joe,' said Ned, take this
melon; isn't it rouser? Slash into it. ,
1T cuts tremendous hard, Ned. Ned,
it's SQUASH
No it isn't, / tell you. It's new
kind. Old Swipes sent to Rhode Island
for the seed LAST spring.
'Well, then, all I've go to say, is that
the old fellow got sucked in-that's all.
'I'm going to gouge into this water
melon; halloo! there goes half a dollar.
I've broke my knife. If / didn't know
that was a watermelon, should say it
was pumpkin. Fact is, believe it
is pumpkin
What the boys did besides, while the
1owner went to the stable and unmuzzled
the dog, and let him into the garden,
he couldn't say; that they took long
steps, the onion and the fower-bed
revealed in the morning.
They had paid pretty dearly for the
whistle. They had not tasted single
melon; got scratched, and tore their
clothes; were as wet as drowned rats,
and half scared out of their wits at the
ravenous dog, and the apprehensions of
being discovered.
The next night, the owner Of the
melon patch invited all the boys of the
village, including Ned and Joe, to a
feast of melons, on the principle OF
returning good for evil" This sircum-
stance changed the boys opinion OF
Old Swipes, and his melons We're never
disturbed again.

Echoes.

Hark through Natures vast cathedral
Blended echoes ever rise;
Swelling in a mighty anthem
To its over-arching skies.
Every bird that sings in summer,
Every honey -ladened bee,
Every squirrel in the forest,
Every cricket on the tree,
Every housekeeping fountain,
Every softly murmuring rill.
Every dark and foaming torrent,
Every water guided mill,
Every rain-drop on the house-top.
Every beetles noisy drone,
Every football on the pavement,
Wakes an echo of its own.
Sobs of woe and songs of gladness,
Each responsive find;
Words of love and words of anger,
Leave their echoes far behind
Every great and noble action
Is re-echoed Ger and DER;
Life itself is but an echo
Of the lives that were before.
