In a miserable cottage at the bottom Of

were alike powerless.
A poor old miser, much poorer than these
shivering children, though he had heaps of
money at home, drew his ragged cloak about

You have but one life to live, and it is i'm
measurably important that you do not make
a mistake. Tonight begin carefully. Fix

FARMING FOR YOUNG MEN.-If q young
man wants to engage in a business that will
insure him, in middle life, the greatest amount
of leisure time, there is nothing more sure
than farming. Ifhe has al independent turn
of mind, let him be g farmer. If he wants
to engage in a healthy occupation, let him
till the land. In short, if he would be indie
pendent, let him get a spot of earth. KeeE
within his means to shun the lawyers; b.
honest to have a clear conscience improve
the soil, so as to leave the world better thar
he found it; and chen if he cannot live hap

THE BEAUTIFUL.
Twas beautiful, the loving smile
That played around her lovely mouth,
It awoke in my heart sweet memories
OF sunset ewes in the far'oH South.
Twas beautiful, heF downy cheek
Wearing a crimson, mantling blush
As from her harp the melting tones
OF low, sweet music did softly gush.
Twas beautiful, her high white brow
With its wreath Of simple flowers;
SO spiritually pure, SO calm, yet it told
Too plain of long sad hours.
Twas beautiful, the ftful fash
or her deeply dark mild Oye;
A sigh arose from heart when I thought
That the beautiful must die.
1t was angelic, her low voice
Murmuring words of peace so mild,
The young paused to catch the import
And the aged heard, and smiled.
'Twas beautiful, her snowy hand,
Pointing towards tho azure sky;
Heaven Is her home-now I know
The Beautiful will never die.

Come to Me in Dreams.

Come, como in bright dr. ans at the twilight hours,
When the crystal dews kiss the opening fow'rs;
When the moon unveils her lovely face
And bright worlds CLEAN in ethereal space
Oh come in bright dreams when the day Is Ger,
And wen wander away to some radiant shore.
Our spirits will ride on the Eephyrs froe,
10 some fairy isle in the deep blue sea,
Where music comes from the impid wave,
And light gondOlas smoothly lave
Yes, come when the weary calmly rest
Unmarried by care, on lord Morpheus breast.
VIII Gull the flowers 10 that dream. land fair,
ana weave q wreath for thy sunny hair;
Choice rubiss I'll seek-and the diamonds 9lov
shall proudly CLEAN on my fair ones brow
Inen come, love, come when the brightest CLEANS,
And our spirits win roam through the land os

A Song by "sBKro !" written whilst the authors
and little girl Ida" were crossing the ocean
in 1858.
AIR" Jamis's on The Stormy Sea-"
] hear a voice sweedy singing,
In my cars tho tones are ringing,
Whilst my soul is fondly clinging
To sweet hopes kept bright and free:
And while yet the voice doth linger
Still methinks 1 hear the singer
Gently warbling " l will bring her
Ida's coming home to thee"
Angels seem around me stealing,
Brighter days to me revealing,
Gently to my heart appealing
With sweet notes Of melody
"Bow not like the weeping willow,
Not ~ tears bedew thy pillow,
Lov'd ones now arc on the billow-
Ida's coming home to thee"
Oh these words my soul are thrilling,
And my eyes with tears are filing,
For ere long, il God is wiling,
Ny dear lovd ones 1 shall see:
Then let sorrow haunt me never,
Grief no more two true hearts sever,
But my song be flowing ever
Idas coming home TO me.
Many times in Fancy's dreaming,
When my mind with thought was teeainr,
have seen her by me-seeming
Like an angel pure and free
Soon these fancios will be over,
1 shall see my little Rover,
And true angels round us hover,
Singing-"Ida's come to thee"

On a dswy summe eve,
When the myriad stars of light,
Besmed with srubescent rays,
Sparkling in the robe Of night;
When the moon Der orgies held
In her dreamy palace hall,
And the silv'ry, changeful clouds
Loved the planets TO enthrallj
strayed a maidon wondrous fair
Fair as Eve in Paradise
And the tinge upon her cheek,
And her jet and sparkling eyes
Told that in Ter soul was built,
To the shrine Of Cupid's darts
Precious as Kalburga's throne
Affairs reared from others hearts.
BY the midnight lamp there tOiled
One whose brow was vexed with care,
And while bending Ger his task,
Struggling In his earnest prayer
To the hckle goddess, Fame,
Suddenly there rose to view,
Msm'riss, ~fancies, bright as stars,
And the maiden, whom he knew
Prayed to Heavens silded dome
For his brilippt true success,
sweotly beanint 6h his page,
To his memrfes gained access.
While this rare and radiant maiden
Thus with thought was deeply ladenj
While the student thus was dwelling,
And TIL emotions fast we're swellingj
From his mothers tender breast
sprang the careless and caressed-
While his nectar he was quafing-
freely, sprightly, loudly laughing,
God Of tender love, and hearts,
Giver kind of pleasant smarts.
Seated on a comets crest,
Gaily he unswung his bow,
And the silv'ry note that rung,
Was tho death note Of the foe.
Years had passed and she was fair,
And the student gained q prize
True, the prize Of Science rare
But a dearer, sweeter one.
Buried meath q rosy bower,
Whore the jasmine and the lily,
And tho fragrant lotus flower,
Sprinkled by the tears of even;
Pecped a cottage sweet and coy,
Where the honeysuckle loved to
Worship all her fair aud rosy
Sisters of the floral kindred.
Wilmot Cottage how like Alden
Are the scenes that cluster round thee
And how fragrant are the laden
BreeEes blowing from the ocean.
But the happiest of the happy
Here shall dwell together loving,
While some angel Casa Wappy,
Be the " guardian tie" of life.
