My Mother.

My mothers birthday comes again!
Ine'er forget the day.
Though living quietly at home,
Or roaming far away.
But at this mornings dawn, OH Time,
Who trundIes round the spheres,
Whispered 70 me " Your mother, boy,
Has lived just fifty years"
Two years ago, I sang to one
You found upon the sea-
And since 1 sent some lines 20 her
Who's younger, next, than me.
Tho, dull and not to rhyning given,
Tho mingIins ink with tears,
lis right to try a verse for you,
Whost lived for fly years.
One half a century seems long,
And We expect 20 see
In one who's dwelt So long below,
A feebler one than thee.
Although white hairs among The black,
Your head to me endears,
never saw so few in one
Who'd lived for fifty years.
Your step IS quite elastic still
Eiyaeious is your eye
The wrinkles we cannot perceive
Until We come close by
And brighter IS your smile than mine.
lis seldom Time careers
On one fond face and leaves so few
Bad marks in fifty years.
When you appeared, your parents were
So glad no tongue can say
And yet twas solemn when they thought,
"A charge TO keep had they.
How foDly beat their hearts for thee!
Alternate hopes ami fears
perhaps twill live for fifty days
Perhaps for fifty years
And God these guardians still has spared
Their sands are well nigh run
But yet, I trust well meet again
Grand parents, mother, SON;
not, kind friends, beyond a doubt,
VIII take Us on our biers,
To sleep with those we love, before
Another nifty years
How OFTEN have / heard you say
And otener have you thought
$50 hong I've lived, and not performed
The half u what 1 ought"
And yet one item thus, upon
The Book Of Lh. aPpearz
slime spent instuctng heather minds
Ten out Of hfy years"
My careless ways have onen caused
Your very heart to bleed
50 And yet my aim has ever been,
)ther's voice to heed.

RUNoRED PLAN To AssA3sINArE NAPoLEoN.-Ihere
is q current report. says the London Star, that the
Emperor has been fred AZ by a soldier Of his body

racy. The story goes that % men, armed with

gene, when the Emperor was 70 be passing. II one
failed in carrying out his object, the second was to
have made an attempt &c accomplish it; and If the
second failed, the third was to have taken his place,
and so till one Of the fifteen had succeeded.
Another Paris letter says Since the discovery Of
the Boulevard Prince Eugene plot, which every day
assumes larger proportions As facts creep out, the
police service at COmpiegne has been tripled. The
most minute precautions have been taken. The IA
nous Corsican guard. which il always abo1t the En-
peror's person, in plain clothes. is divided into three
sections, and watches day and night without inter-
mission. The Emperor has been advised to resume
the coat of mail under his shirt, which he left Oft
wearing in 1859, on account of the great discomfort
of il. In spite of all the efforts made TO throw q veil
over the real state of things, the guests are aware
that the palace is swarming with spies, and there Is
in consequence much less gaiety in the Court society
than there was last year.
