HrRE, in our opinion, is some very reasonabIe |

HERE, in our opinion, is some very reasonable
advice /" Stick to your home newspaper. No
matter If you are poor. None are so poor as the
ignorant, unless it be the depraved, and they too
often 60 together Keep your home paper, tho
il may not be so large or so imposing as some
city weekly; but remember it is the advertiser
of your neighborhood and daily business, and
tells you what is going on around you instead of
thousand miles away. If it is not printed on
as nice paper as the others, pay the subscription
regularly and promptly, and rely upon it the
natural pride of the publisher will prompt him
TO improve it as fast as possible"

Too Late.

Crouch no more by the ivied walls,
Weep no longer over her grave,
Strew no flowers when evening falls
Idly you lost what angels gave!
Sunbeams cover that silent mound,
With warmer hue than your roses red
To-morrows rain will bedew the ground
With purer stream than the tears you shed.
But neither the sweets of the scattered flowers
Nor the morning sunlight's soft command,
Nor all the songs Of the Summer showers,
Can charm her back from that distant land.
Tenderest VOWS are ever too late
She, who is gone, can only know
The cruel sorrow that was her fate,
And the words that were mortal wo
Earth to earth, and vain despair
Nor the gentle spirit has flown away,
And you can never her wrongs repair,
Till you meet again at the Judgment Day.
