CAMILLE,
Stay by me, Armand, shall need you only
Tonight Tomorrow shall not be here;
An mei the place had been so sad and lonely.
But that knew you, Armand, were SO near.
/ dreamt this morning of the summer pleasant
We passed together, in the sweet last year;
And how the village dame and kindly peasant
Came to our cottage with their homely cheer.
Castor and were running down the valley,
And you were dancing, Armand, with Nichette
And then you all sang out so musically,
Camille! Camille! we shall be happy yeti"
And so thought, and smiled, and felt as ever;
But then the dream changed, Armand, and yoy
said,
"Camille, Camille, we shall be happy never"
And awoke, from dreaming you were dead!
And am dying, Armand, am dying!
have no fears, but even wish to die;
II you will sometimes come where am lying,
And promise sometime by my side to lie.
Stay by me, Armand, shall need you only
Tonight !-to-morrow shall not be here;
All me the place had been so sad and lonely,
but that knew you, Armand, were so near.
THE BABY.
Another little wave
Upon the sea of life;
Another soul to save,
Amid the toll and strife.
Two more little feet
To walk the dusty road
To choose where two paths meet
The narrow and the broad
Two more little hands
To work for good or i'll
Two more sparkling eyes,
Another mind and will
Another heart to love,
Receiving love again;
And so the baby came,
A thing of JOY and pain.

Epidemic Of Novel Reading.
An able essayest says, of the present

An able essayest says, Of the present
day -
"Theatres and spectacles are less
frequented than they used to be,
whilst the habit of reading has become
universal. These causes increase the
popularity and the influence Of novels,
and, measured by these Standards,
their Importance must be considered
very great. The majority of those
who read for amusement, read novels.
The number Of young people who take
from them nearly all their notions of
live is very considerable They are
widely used for the diffusion of opin-
ions. In one shape or another, they
enter into the education of us ALL
They constitute very nearly the whole
of the book education of the unen-
ergetic and listless."
Aud an Ohio agricultural paper
thus apostieally delivers itself -
The world is flooded with novels !!
Novels are published, novels are sold,
novels arc puffed, novels are read
No less than three different novels
were Loticed favorably in a recent
number of the New York Observer =
What can be done stay this desolating
scourge, issuing from the pit, so long
as religious editors advertise and puff
novels and romances foolish, nonsen-
sical, sicklv, sentimental love-tales,
poisoning the whole community The
time was when ministers, editors. and
tract societies, raised the warning
voice against this crying evil; but
that day, seemingly, is gone gone +!
Ministers and ministers wives write
novels-read novels; religions editors
write novels, puff novels, read novels.
Centre-tables are loaded, pressed down,
with serpents on serpents. even his
sing serpents, poisonous, with fiery,
forked tongues, stinging to death whole
families-whole neighborhoods. The
earth groans, mountains are in labor.
Lord, help, o help; send us help =!
rend the heavens, come down, o
Most High that the mountains may
flow down at thy presence. as when
the melting fire burneth. Woe to
thee that spoileth. and thoH vast not
spoiled Woe to the rebellious chill
dren, saith the Lord, that take council
but not of me. !"
