THE OLD SEXTON.

On marble slab in the church. yard old.
Stitch the sexton gray.
At mid If night. IA the oden year
Is signing its life awaT
Pale and cold from the halfhid moon
Falleth gentle beam,
PLAYING along his frosted locks
With a glttering silver CLEAN.
Little he recks the clingng damp,
AS he bows in silent PRAYER;
Nor the wind that springs with Il lonely chill
From the dead entOmbed there.
He 6leepeth nOw-On a Sculptured urn
He resteth his weary head.
While noseless round him gather
All Of his angel dead.
Little ones buried in olden time,
Risen from out the mould,
Brushing across his silver locks
Ringlets Of Slken gold
One Of a fair and angel form
Bendeih over INN low;
He ,milcih. for in his dreaming,
He claspeth her fundly now.
Madge. with her tresses Of sunny tint,
Brow Of heavenly snow,
Who died Sin-broken and scorned of all,
Weary long years ago.
Madge, who had died on his heavng breast,
Penitent, sobbing the while
Now. in Gods Heaven Of Holy Love,
Shriven Of all her guile.
Softly she pillows the old mans head
On her bosom of driven snow.
Whispering tales of the 0lden time,
Of the buried long ago
Faint from the tall cathedral spire,
Cometh a feeble shout
Heavily now are the brazen bells
Ringing the old year out.
Gently his dream is fading away.
The little ones all have flown;
Yet not for YEARLY passing yeur
Is he left upon earth alone.
The bells that are ringing the old year out,
Toll for the sexton dead.
Living upon the marble cold,
Where be powed his weary head.

And the wind is rungh with sob and with =
Tonight upon gable and tree,

And the white rose in iu'l blow.

In the costly shrOwd Of an opal cloud,

All. al! too freshly real;
The soft snbdurd eclipse,
Hand ~ hand, aud heart IN heart
And the thrill Of the welded lips;
ThcS,. tender n.rmnIieS, how they Hp-h
Pale cheek and brow aghn,
And naughty lip. and burning heart,

For woman the calm and the pain.

II will still cnnR on t. love that is gone
With the warmth Of its first embrace.
Oh. It's well for the careless spirit
To weave the web OF rhyme,
Aud prison the idle memories
That float on the breath If time;
But better for many an aching heart,
If ever it might be SO.

And the dreams Of long ago

Somebody says that young lady should al
ways ask the four following questions before
accepting the hand of any young man:
Is he honorable!
Is he kind of heart?
Can he support me comfortably?
Does he take paper and pay in advance:
Our devil suggests the idea that the lady
should also ask Is he single, and does he i'm
bibuate the ardent?

Men have very little reason to reproach
women with talkativencss. We have seldom
or ever happened to be in Promscuous society
in which the men did not assume the privi-
le.c not only Of leading the conversation, but
Of taking ali the talk to themselves; and young
ladies' will sit for hours listening to stupid dis
cussions without uttering word, and without
learning any other lesson Of wisdom than that
which they practice, of saying nothing

fAttro WINDow BdSDs. - IL is a tex,
frequently quoted that "a Prophet is
not without honor save in his own coun
try but ia the case of the invention here
in noticed, We have an instance wherein
theinvcntor is neither without profit" nor
honor ia his own country Among the best
Of our practical mechanics and, in, fact
among all classes OF our citizens the "Mc-
tallic Window Blind stakes at first
sight. In "patent" vocabulary the in
vention thus described Said improve
ment consists in the arrangement or com.
bination of two metallic plates having
two corresponding slots and spaces; the
outer plate securely fixed in a wood or
iron frame, forming the PANEL Of the
Blind, and the inner plate being move.
able upon the inner surface Of the outer
plate and so adapted to it, that by means
OF Thumb-screw, Eccentric or other
simple device at the bottom or side of the
blind, it may be easily raised or lowered,
thus admitting or excluding the light at
pleasure.
The cost OF manufacturing these blinds
with wooden frames viii be about ten
cents per foot less than the common
wood blind and the frc-proof metallic
framed blind can be manufactured at
about the same price as the wooden arti-
Gle. AS will be seen on examination,
they are light, easily regulated, not la
die to get out Of order, and in point Of
lo1ls have decidedly the advantage of
the common blind.
The invention applies as well to inside
rs to outside blinds, and may be used with
either cloth, wire gauze or perforated tin
screens for mosquito bar; very neat
pattern for which has been shown us.
The inventor, DIR. GEo. \. LArHRoP,
Of this City, has sold half interest in
the Patentto b. BRowN Esq. alsoa resident
here. TO all outsiders with whom they
may have occasion to enter into business
arrangements, we take pleasure in intro
dacing them both, as gentlemen Of the
highest responsibility at home, fair, can
did, honorable men, aud the worst we
wish them is that they may makca for
tune out of the invention; which we have
no doubt they viii.
