Of our native bards' who, perhaps, never before

rather hard fling in the last stanza and th'
widows, too, in the ninth, but it is sensible ant
fair-dealing 'pome' in the main. 1t has charac
ter but we will let the poet speak for himself il
his laudable effort to give justice to every man
Here it is: .. .... ..f,..- ..-
Come hear all ye people, what have to say,
And bear with me now, let me say what may;
I'm going to tell you the truth, II I can, -ns
Andtry to give justice to every man.
The farmers, Think have had too much to bear .
They make all we eat and part Of our wear;
And yet, they're charged with not giving good weight
hxyfh ha
Take gentlemen, too, who keep public hall
Their table Is ready whenever we call
We've nothing to do but to eat what we will,
And after we eat, to settle our bill.
The merchant has goods enough and to spare;
with linen and broadcloth he'll make us look gay,
And take our cash our credit for pay.
The magistrate, too, I'll help II can;
Before bis tribunal the guilty must stand
He's sworn by the law which he holds In his hand,
To administer justice to every man.
And there Is the man who Is everybodys waiter
He's sent by the people to the Legislature;
He's there every session for this very cause,
To manage our business and make our laws
Then there Ia the lawyer who pleads at the bar;
When court comes round, he's sure to be there
We think he's man Of very good sense,
For he stands up and pleads In our defence.
About the old widower, now must say,
II he wants to marry I'm sure he may -.
If he by his love lady can win,
Wen give him a chance to marry again.
And also, the widow, she's certain to choose
To marry again,-and who can refuse p
Wen give her her choice, and think with the rest
That married life Is surely the best. -.-
The school.teschers Life is ono full of pain;
He should for his learning some honor obtain

He ought to be found good gold, when he's tried.
And there Is the tailor, among all the rest .....
He'll make you coat and, also q vest;
He'll have them to ft you so trim and so nice,
You'll like him so well asst pay him the price,
The shoemaker too, must not be passed;
Wen give him some leather, an awl and last;
He'll wax at his end till he wakes hot,
Andpeg In till he pegs out, for such Is bis lot.
So, life Is a riddle like that Of the Sphinx,
And each his own Gdidus, just as he thinks
All others will help you to LIVE, II you try, 90. -
And the kind.hearted doctor VIII help you to DIE
We love to see bonnie lsssie'-a child
girl who is just budding into all the sweetness
and beauty Of her teens still child in man
ners and sentiment. We wish her to breathe
the fresh air, sport in the sunshine, and gathel
wild flowers by the wild brook, making glac
music as it dances on. We wish her to enjoy
all means for maturing and perfecting he'
loveliness, and for inbaling the spirit Of happi
ness from nature. The rainbow cannot gree
the eye of child without imprinting mort
delicate tint on its cheeks, and sufnsing new
born gladness over its soul. So it is with al
nature: exercise of body leads to the object
exercise of mind comprehends it; exercise o.
soul enjoys it-and these mature.
BAYARD TAYLOR, on the question, why there
is so much beauty in Poland, says:
"Because, there, girls do not jump from infan'
cy to young ladyhood. They are not sent from
the cradle to the paror, to Dress to sit still and
look pretty. No, they are treated as children
should be- During childhood, which extends
through period of several years, they are plain.

and play in the open air. They are not loaded

with countless frills and superabundant founces,

they rendered delicate or dyspeptic by 'continu-
ally stufing candies and sweet cakes, as are the
majority of the American children. Plain, sim

are the secrets Of beauty in after
