And, lest you presst in your steady denials,

THE FARMER's DAUGHTER AND THE RoBBEP.-
A farmer living few miles from Euston, sent

stores, but could not get her note changed
She had not gone far on her return when a
stranger rode up TO the side Of her horse and ac-
costed her with SO much poteness, that she had
not the slightest suspicion of any evil intention
on his part. After riding mile or two, EN-
ployed in very social conversation, they came
to very retired part Of the road, and the gen.
tleman commanded her to give him the bank
note. 1t was with some difficulty that she could

held the note TO him, sudden puff of wind bl

yards from them. The discourteuus knight
aIghted to overtake it, and the lady whipped
her hors, to get out Of his power, and the other
horse, which had been left standin. by her side,
started off with her His owner fired pistol

Trip Lightly.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
BY dwelling on II long.
Why clasp woes band so tightly?
Why sigh DER blossoms dead?
Why cling to form, uusightly?
Why not seek JOY instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though this day may be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And thea Paily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fed;
Then never be down hearted,
But look for JOY instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,

We've pearls to string of gladness.
On this side of the tomb;
Whilst stars are nightly shining,
And Heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look for JOY instead.
