Tail Holt Better than no Holt.

The following laughable affair is from a
book entitled Fishers River Scenes and
characters. This incident is located in
North Carolina. 1t is the story of a man
named Oliver Stanley, who was taken cap.
tive by the sInjins.' After some conside-
ration, they put him into an empty oil bar
rel, and headed him up, leaving the bung-
hole open that he might be longer dying

OH, BURY ME NOT.

BYJ. C. MARLBOROUGH.
Oh, bury me not in the dark old woods,
Where the sunbeans never shine
Where mingle the mists of the mountain flood
With the dew of the dismal pine.
Bury me deep in some grave yard
I have loved In life so well;
Where the winds may come to my spirit free,
And the sound of the church bell swell.
Oh, bury me not in the surging sea,
Where the tempest RACES loud,
And the storm rideth o'ermy breast
On his chariot Of cloud;
Where the solemn chauht Of the ocean wave,
And the wailing night winds cry,
Come mourning o'er my lonely grave
Where the mermaids sit and sing.
Oh, bury me notify the rolling sea,
Where the storm kissed pillows heave
Responsive to the tempest's gee,
Where ocean spirits in darkness wave.
The sea-weed shroud for oceans dead,
Where flaps the hungry sea birds wings,
Above the drowning sailors head,
And tempest fends his requiem sing.
But carry me far in the old grave yard
have loved In life so well,
Where my friends one by one have gone,
There bury me deep with them:
Then shall there be one left
That viii plant sprig DER my head,
Meath the shades of Its nesting boush,
There let Inc sleep in my grave.

The Blind BoY.

The other day, l went to see little blind
boy The scarlet fever settled in his eyes,
and for many months he has not seen at all.
He used to be sprightly little fellow, up
on the run everywhere. "Well, my dear
boy" l. said, "this is hard for you, is it
not?" He did not answer for a minute,
then he said, 81 don't know as ought to
say hard; God knows best )" but his lip
quivered, and little tear stole down his
cheek
eyes, my child, you have kind heaven
ly Father, who loves you and feels for you
more even than your mother does" ri
know ii, sir" said the little boy, "aud it
comforts me-" 81 wish Jesus was here to
cure Frank" said his little sister: "Jesus
cured a good many blind men when he was
on earth, and I am most sure he would cure
Frank" "Well," said I, "he will open
little Franks eyes to see what a good Sa-
yiour he is He will show him that
blinded heart is worse than a blind eye,
and he will wash his heart in his own blood,
aud cure it, and make him see and enjoy
beautiful heavenly things, so that he may
sit here and be thousand times happier
than many children who are running about"
ri can't help wishing he could see," said
Lizzie. 81 dare say" said 1, "but hope
you don't make Frank discontented -
"Frank isn't discontented," said Lizzie,
earnestly; "he loves God! And love sets
everything right, and makes its own sun
shine; does it not Frank?" "I don't feel
cross uow," said the blind boy, meekly;
"when I'm alone, pray, and sing my Sab
bath-sehool hymns, and sing, and sing, and
Gods in the room, and it feels light, and
-aud-I forget I'm blind at all ?" and
sweet light stole over his pale features as
he spoke it was heavenly light was sure.
l went to pity and comfort him, but found
God had gone before me. The great God
who has thousand worlds to take care of
did not overlook him, but with his heart of
love came and turned his mourning into joy,
his darkness into light, and made him in
his misfortunes as happy as a child can be.
Oh God can do more and better for US
than we can ask or think.
