THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

Oh. the old, cid clock, Of the household stock,
Was the brightest thing and neatest;
It's hands though old. had touch Of gold,
And its chime rang still the sweetest
Twas a monitor, too, though its words were few
Yet they lived, though nations altered;
And its voice, still strong, warned old and young
When the voice OF friendship faltered!-
Tick, tick, il said, quick, quick, to bed;
For ten I've given warning
20. up-and go--or else, VOC know,
You'll never rise soon il the morning.
4 friendly voice was that old, old clock,
A. it stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the time. with merry chime,
The wintry hours beguiling:--
But cross old voice was that tiresone clock
As it called at daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray, Ger the misty way
And the early air blew coldly!-
Tick, tick. it said; quick, out of bed,
For five I've given warning;
You Il never have health, you II never get wealth
Unless you re up soon in the morning,
Still hourly the sound goes round and round,
With tune that ceases never;
While tears are she'd for the bright days fed,
And the old friends lost forever!
Its heart beat on-though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger;
It's hands still move--though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer!
Tick. tick, it said-tO the churchyard bed:
The Grave hath given warning:
Up-up--and rise to the angel skies
And enter heavenly morning!

commands had not been executed.
IL thought said the master. you
were requested to get out that cargo this
morning.
"'It is all done.' said the young man.
and here is the account of it,
"He never looked behind him from
that moment-never! His character was
fixed; confidence was established; he was
found to be the man to do the thing with
promptness. He very soon came to be
one that could not be spared; he was as
necessary to the firm as any of the part
ners. He was religious man. and went
through life of great benevolence, and
at his death was able to leave his children
an ample fortune. He was not smoke 10
