more or less fictitious and fallacious glory
resting upon the head of every bride, which
the inchoate husband believes in. Nest
men and women manufacture perfection in

of course. wears away. By the time the
husband has seen his wife cat heartily Of
pork and beans. and, with her hair frizzlel,
and her oldest dress on, full of the enter
prise of overhauling things, he sees that
she belongs to the same race as himself
And she, when her husband gets up cross
in the morning. and undertakes to shave
himself with cold water and 4 dull razor,
while his suspcndcrs danglc at his heels,
begins to see that man is a very prosaic
animal In other words, there Is such Il
thing as honeymoon, of longer or short

the radiance ofthe seventh heaven can net
compare with it. 1t is a very delicious

THE OLD CANOE.
BY EMILY c. PAGE.

Where the rocks are gray, and the shore is steep.
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes all tall aud rank
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
Laws al its moorings the old canoe
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like sea birds wings that the storm hath
Topped,
And crossed on the railing. one o'er one,
Like folded hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silvery screen.
And the solemn owl, with his duh ''toO hoo
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rets slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss ereeps o'er its dull decay
Hiding the mouldering dust away.
Like the hand that plants o'crthe tomb flower
Or the ivy that mantles the fallen tower;
While many blossom of loveliest hue
Springs up o'cr the stern of the old canoe
The eurrentlcss waters are dead and still
But the light winds play with the boat at will
And lazily in and out again.
It fonts the length of its rusty chain
Like the weary march of the hands of time
That meet and part at the nOOntide chime;
And the shore is kissed at each turn anew
By the dripping bow of the old canoe.
O. many time with careless hand
I have pustod it away from the pebbly shrand
And raIdled it down where the stream runs
quick
Where the wIirls are wild and the eddies ar
thick
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two'
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now as lean o'er the erumbikg side
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is craven grown
And the laugh that 1 hear has sobcrer tone
And the hands bent to the light skitf wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things.
But l love to think of the hours that flew,
! As l rocked where the whirls their wild 81 ra,
threw,
E e the blossoms waved or the green grass gre'
O'er the mouldering stern of the old canoe.

PICTURE NUMBER FOUR.

Slavery paints itself again in closing the
gates of knowledge, which are also the shin
ing gates of civilization. Under its plain,
uncquivocal law, the bondman may, at the
unrcstr. ined will of his master, be shut
out from all instruction, while in many
places, incredible to relate, the law itself,
by cumulative provisions, positively forbids
that he shall be taught to read. Ofcoursc,
the slave cannot be allowed to read, for
his soul would then expand in larger air,
while he saw the glory of the North Star,
and also the helping truth that God, who
made iron, never made 4 slave; for he
would then become familiar with the Scrip
lures. with the Decaloguc still sreaking in
the thunders Of Sinai; with that ancient
text. He that stealcth a man and selletll
him, or if be be found in his hands, hC
shall surely be put to DEATH with thai
other text, Masters, give unto your ser
wants that which is just and equal;" with
the great story of the redemption, when th'
Lord raised the slavc-born Moses to deliv
er his chosen people from the house o
bondage; and with that sublime story
where the Saviour died cruel death, tha
all men, without distinction of race, mi Gu
be saved, leaving to mankind command
mcnts which, even without his example
make Slavery impossible. Thus, in Ordc

countries prevented Christian from testl-

PICTURE NUMBER TWO.
Slavery paints itself again in its COM
plete abrogation of marriage, recognized as
a sacrament by the Church, and recogniz-
cd as a contract wherever civilization pre-
walls. Under the law Of Slavery no such
sacrament is respected, and no such con
tract can exist. The ties that may be
formed between slaves arc all subject to the
selfish interests or more selfish lust of the
master, whose license knows no check.
Natural affections which have come togeth-
! er are rudely torn asundcr; nor is this all.
Stripped of every defence, the chastity Of
a whole race is exposed to violence, while
the result is recorded in the tell tale faces
of the children, glowing with their masters
blood, but doomed for their mothers skin

tions. The Senator from Mississippi AIr.

Slavery paints itself again in the appro-
priatiou of all the toll of its victims, exclu-

earnings which the law of nature allows
and civilization secures. The painful in
