NY EARLY HOME,
BY A. W, BELLAw.


Long cherished roof Of tender years,
Sweet stage Of childhoods scene,
Ihail thee with pilgrims tears,
Though years have passed between,
All, weary years they've been to me,
Bot regret their loss;
And ruthless years they've been to Thee,
Dim hid in yelling moss.
see Time peep from every rent,
see il on the door;
The very air is indolent.
Tia, was so spry before.
How of beneath this solemn porch
Have | with pleasure played,
When life held boldly out his torch,
When sunshine knew no shade.
The grass is green upon the lawn,
But falling are the trees;
@, see, ye spirits Of the gone,
Your lives decayed like these
Dear Memory, feast your royal eye,
For bounded is my stay
My hearts deep fountain has grown dry,
And must haste away.
Long cherished roof Of tender years
Ny early home, farewell
] give 10 thee my pilgrim tears
Twas for thee they fell.

now pIscOyERING 4 THIEF.

After Lorenzo Dow had retired to his room,
after hard DAYS travel, in the western part
Of Virginia, number u persons collected in
the bar-room 70 enjoy their usual reyeries,
as was the custom 10 that part Of the coun-
try. At a late hour IN the ni,tt, The alarm
was given that one Of the company had lo.l
his poeket.bO1k and search was proposed.
Whereupon the landlord remarked that Lo.
reno Dow was ID the house, and that IL tie
money was there, he knew that Lorenzo could
find It. The suggestion was instantly receiy-
ed with appreciation, and accordingly Mr..
Dow was aroused from his slumber, and
brought forth to find the money. As he en-
tered the room. his eyes ran through the COM
pany with searching inquiry, but nothing APP
peared that could FIX guilt upon any one. The
loser appeared with countenance expressive
or great concern. and besought Mr.. Dow, for
Heavens SAKE, 10 find the money.
Have any left the company since you
lost your money !" said Mr. Dow.
/" NOne," said the loser, none"
"Then," said Lorenzo, turning to the land
lord, go and bring me large dinner pot !"
This created no little surprise. But as
supernatural powers were universally conce-
deJ, his directions we're unhesitatingly obey
ed. Accordingly tie pot was brought for
ward, ami set 10 the middle Of the room.
Now," said Lerenzo. :" 20 and bring the
old chicken.cock from the fOUst."
This was also done, and at Lorenzo's d.
fections. the cock was placed in the pot, aud
covered over With board or lid.
/" Let the doors now be fastened and the
lights ertinggi.hed. said Mr. Dow, which was
also done.
Now sail be, "eyery person 10 the
room must rub bis h.nls hard against the
pot. and when tie guilty hand touches il
the cock will crOg."
Accordingly, al came forward, and rub.
bed, Or pretended 70 rub against the Dot.
Bot no cock crowed.
Let The candles now be lighted" said
Lorenzo, there Is no guilty person here.
u the man had any money, he must have lost
il some place else. But stop" said Lorenzo,
when all things were prepared, "let Us now
examine the hands"
This was the important part Of his arrange.
ment. For on examination, il was found
that one man had not rubbed against the pot,
Tie others hands being black with tie SCOT
from the pot. was proof Of their innocence.
There" said Lorenzo, pointing TO the
man with clean hands. there is the man
~ho picked your pocket"
The eBlprit, seeing bis detection, at once
