Miss Mary's Jaunty BIae Hat,
AND WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHED.

My friend Kelly was walking down the
street last autumn, in brown study on
some abstrusc subject, his vision horizon
tai and vacant, his step rapid and careless,
when just as he forded one of the cross
streets, and lifted one foot to place it upon
the curbstone, q big but cowardly yellow
dog came sweeping along followed by a
black one Of the same species The speci-
men, oblivious Of all things but the object
Of pursuit, as every dog should be on such
an occasion, and possibly under the control
Of bis own momentum, struck Kelly's per-
pendicplar leg while the other was walking,
and knocked it out from under him. NY
friend went down instanter. His glossy
beaver bounced upon the pavement and
continued its journey, while bis shawl
struck against shopman's window like q
paper pellet on the wall.
Kelly gathered himself together, pick
ing himself up, and looked after the dog
who had done the mischief, expecting to
find him hove to- 10 canine dismay at the
accident be had caused, but to bis utter
establishment the animal seemed as regard
less Of his equilibrium as Of any other
trivial matter, and was making after the
aforesaid yellow dog at rs great . speed as
though be bad not tripped over the best
fellow in town. q
While my friend was down 4 clear,
musical, girsisl laugh had rung upon the
open air, It was evidently spontaneous.
80 charmingly musical, was 50 suddenly
checked and had withal SO good cause
that Kelly could hardly be angry Or dis
concerted.

Loss OF FINE-ToOTH CoMB-An
English Methodist preacher, who spoke in
meeting out West, told the following
story: cit is but little while since [ was
travelling along one Of our great rivers
surrounded by the deep forest. Istopped
at rude shanty by the low river side; and
there | found a poor family in gre-a-a-t
afhiction-ah! They were all sick; their
children were shivering and starving; their
heads frowsy and dirty; and 1 was inform
ed by the mother that they had lost their
fine tooth consb-ah! They was ignorant of
the go-ospel, and didn't seem to care about
it'ither; for when / reasoned with 'em the
woman was all the time lamenting the
loss of her fne-tooth comb-ah! Have
youia Bible in your cabin?' said / to her.
Yes theer it is on the catch all, printing
to narrow shelf over the smoky fire place,
but we don't read into il; ha' mt read any

the corner, and reached up and took

Floating away, like the fountains spray
Der the snow-white plume of a maiden,
The smoke wreaths rise to the star-lit skies
With blissful fragrance laden
Then smoke away till golden ray
Lights up the dawn of tomorrow,
For cheerful cigar like shield will bar
The blows of care and sorrow
The leaf burns bright like the gems of light
That fash in the braids of beauty.
IL nerves each heart for the heroes part
On the battle plain of duty.
CHoRUs-Then smoke away, &c.
In the thoughtful gloom of a darkened room
Sits the child of song and duty,
But his heart is light, for his pipe beams bright
And his dreams are all of glory.
CHoRus-Then smoke away, &c.
BY the blazing FIRE sits the grey-haired SIRE
And infant arms surround him,
And he smiles on all in that quaint old hall,
While the smoke-curls float around him.
CHoRUs-Then smoke away, &c.
In the forest grand of our native land
When the savage conflicts ended,
The 'spipe of peace brought sweet release
From toll and terror blended.
CHoRUs-Then smoke away, &c.
The dark.eyed train ofthe maids of Spain
Meath the arbor-shades trip lightly,
And Q cleaning cigar, like neighbor star,
10 the clasp Of their lips beams brightly.
CHoRUs--Then smoke away, &c.
II warns the soul, like the blushing bowl
With its rose-red burden streaming,
And browns i. in bliss, like the first warm kiss
From the lips with love-buds teeming.
Then smoke away till a golden ray
s Lights up the dawn ofto-morrow,
For cheerful cigar like shield will bar
The blows Of care and sorrow. "
