young man, whom we shall call Arthur

He was then about three and twenty
years of age, small, slender and effemi-
nate looking, with light hair, almost
beardless face, and dark blue eyes His
dress, though not exactly fopyish, was
altogether too fine, neat, and precise, to
suit the taste of men who always seemed
prepared for rOughing it in the back
weeds as most of them had done at one
time and other; he was moreover. a stran-
ger from the North, who had perhaps
come there to disply his learning, and
pick up their money, so that from the

PROVERBS.

When the tree is fallen, every man
goeth to ii with his hatchet.
Where men are well used, they will
frequent there.
War makes thieves, and peace hangs
them.
Where the will is ready, the feet are
light.
When the wind is in the eact it is
neither good fer man or beast.
When the good man is from home, the
good wife's table is soon spread,
Who so blind as he that will not see.
Who buys hath need of an hundred
eyes, who sells hath enough of one.
When the cat is away, the mice may
play.
When good cheer is lacking, cur
friends will be packing.
Whatcannot be cured must be endured.
What soberness conceals, drunkenness
reveals.
What the eye sees net, the heart rue'
the heart rues not.
Where every hand Aeecsth, the sheer
go naked.
When the fox breaches, beware Of
your geese.
Where henOr ceaseth, their knowledge
decreaseth.
Who more ready to call her nsishbol
scOId, than the greatest scOld in th'
parish
When the steed is stolen, the stable
door shall be shut.
When all men say are an ass, tits lim'
to bray.
Wha is the true gentleman or noble
man? He whose actions make him so.

FALLING STARS.
Since irSt Chaldea's shepards marked
The Mysteries Of the skies,
And watched the smiling star come fort
The glorious planets rise,
Astronomers have seen with awe
Those wanderers of the night,
That shoot from their appointed sphere,
And vanish out Of sight.
Are they BY some opposing power
From their bright birthpiAes drivsns
Or do they by Wild impulse urged,
Thus madly rush from HeaVenH
VainIy We ask-we can bat sigh,
In fond regret, to know
Their light is lost to realms above,
Nor found in worlds below.
Sadness more deep than this We feel
When warning States decline;
When, mid the consolidated band,
No moro they move and shine;
When, proving FeOreant to the Law
That rules in earth and sky,
They break the sacred bonds ofloVe,
And from their orbits fly.
Spirits Of darkness JOY to see
These glorious lights go out,
And hail falling State or star
With loud, sxultant shout;
But sorrowing angels veil their eyes,
And good men weep and pray,
An from the peace and joy Heaven
These reckless wanderers stray.
