SATURDAY NIGHT.

Saturday night Alone sit
In musing mood before the fire
A pleasant look the burner lit
What more could studious man desirsY
A moment since my merry girls
Went bounding forth in childish glee-
Those langhing eyes, those Ioguish curls
Oh they are worth the world to nae.
fney climbed and clamored for the kiss
The sood-nigh. kiss that all must share,
The silent seal Of household bliss,
Before the whispered, evening prayer
Cine ''NoE | lay me down to sleepy
SO softly and SO meekly said
May angels guardian watches kesp
Around my dArlings' peaceful bed.
Life, With my pets. Is sunny morn
For them each day new glories gisw-
For them new buds Of bliss are born,
Blue skies, for them, arch all below;
They wake with gladness In their eyes
They feel ne oars-they know no ILL.,
Each morning brings some sweet surprise.
Which dreams, Of night, make sweeter still
Ny prayers are with them while they sleep
Ny prayers 60 with them while they wake
They are the jewels which keep
And cherish for my Gear cps's sake;
I es, deubly dear they seem to me,
Now, nothefless in tender years,
And thoughts oftheir futurisy
Bring sometimes smiles and sometimes tears
Acr less beloved the form that stood,
KH PsnHt~a ~at~-~~.s -a4n 80 ~s-~at,
Jast biashing into womanhood,
ny eldest daughter, grave and fair;
EsE wave Of life with softest glide,
Was sunht, till one cloud Of woe,
With spreading margin, far and wide,
o'eTshadowsd ali that lay below.
And hs-the boy that bears ny name,
So fall Of pranks and mirthful lore
see so much 80 Praise-to blame
know not which he needs the more,
Ills scorn Of study, love Of fun,
His reckless, rowing, Esyward will,
Leaves patience sometimes quite undone,
And yeti love the yoHpger still.

principal thoroughfares for the transpor-

draft made upon her machinery during
the past few weeks.-The supplies for
the army both East and West. have found
their way to the two points of destination
over this road. The company in order
to meet the heavy increase in its Freight
business, have been compelled to add ma
ny extra trains to the number already in.

the business of this road, believing thai
it not only merits public confidence. bu
that it is, as it will soon be known to b.
the most direct route between the Eas
