Star was fitted out with sundry muslins, the

DAYS uNroaaorrEN. A SONG FOR -

DAYS UNFoRGorrEN. A SONG FOB -------.
BY WILLIAM ". EAST.
How dear to me those days we spent
In walking, riding, reading, loving;
No thought nor deed, we need repent,
Nor one remembrance is reproving:
The fields we're sere, the forests, too,
The prattliug brooks were drear and lonely;
Yet nature wore for me hue, s s...
Which earth has known in Eden only. -
The books we read oil pleased-but one*
With rapture made my heart.strings quiver;
1t praised, in Milburn's richest tone,
The hero Of the Yadkin river.t
He loved the dark and bloody ground;'t
The wild notes, o'er its wind-harp sweeping;
Its deer, that fed his gun and hound;
Its torrents, from the mountains leaping.
And when his comrades fell beneath
The lynx-eyed' Indians suaky arrow,
Alone he eyed the face of Death,
With nerves no scene Of blood could harrow:
Alone he trod the the desert deep,
By Nature unto nature given;
And, like the wild-stag, climbed the steep,
Glad in the freedom, caught from heaven.S
With such a life, and only THEE
To keep my star Of hope from setting,
How halcyon.sweet my days would be-
No future wished, no past regretting!
And if, by Times ungentle blight, a.
Earth's fragile joys should fade and witheA
We'd live in loves and natures light,
And Heaven would sweetly WOO us thither.

A SHREwD IDIOT. well known idiot,
jamie Fraser, belonging TO- the parish of
Lunan, in Forfarshire, quite surprised peo.
pie sometimes by his replies. The congre-
cation of his parish church had for some
time distressed the minister by their habit
of sleeping in church. He had often en-
deavored to impress them with sense of
the impropriety Of such conduct: and one
day when jamie was sitting in the front
gallery wide awake, and many were slnm.
bering around him, the clergyman endeav-
ored to awaken the attention Of his hear
ers by stating the fact, saying: tYou see
even Jamie Frazer, the idiot, does not fall
asleep as SO many ofyou are doing jamie,
not liking, perhaps, to be thus designated,
coolly replied: sAn' I hadna' been an idiot,
I wad ha' besntsleepin', too. -, *

Patiently toiing
Wearily on
Over life's battle path
Thus has she gone,
Bearing the sleaves Of her g'eanings below,
To the bright land where no tears ever flow
Round her were gathered
Tie friends Of her life;
Fondly they held her
While passing from strife;
And their presence lent light to the earth
weary eyes,
And cleered the dark way 20 her home in the

Soft be thy football
Near her low grave;
Soft as the music
Her lovely tones gave;
Soft as the spirit-songs bearing her on,
Tread lightly-gently-fo thus she has gone.
