Little Things.


Two men were at work together one day
in shipyard. They were ,hewing log
of timber to put into ship. 1t was a
small leg, and not worth much. AS they
cut of the chips they saw a worms
little worm about half ao inch long.
"This log is rormy," said one, "sha,l
we put 1t in?"
81 do not know. Yes, think It NAV
60 in. 1t will never be seen, of course"
"Yes; but there may BE- other worms
in it, and these may increase, and iniure
the ship"
"No, l think not. To be sure, it il
not worth much yet | do not wish to lose
it. But come, never mind the worm; we
have seen but one; put it in."
The log was accordingly Put in. The
ship was finished, and, as she was laun-
ched off into the waters, all ready for the
seas, she looked beautiful as the swan
when the breeze rufies his whitc-feather-
ed bosom, as he sits on the waters. She
went to sea and for number OF years did
well. But it was found, on dsant vow
age, she grew weak and rotten. Her tim
oerS were found to be all eaten away by
worms. But the captain thought he
weuid try and get home. He bad great,
costly load of good, in the ship-such AZ
silks, Grape and the like--and great

gathered. The ship for while climbed
up the high waves, and then plunged
down, rolling finely; but then she spratp

men worked at them Gay and wight; but
the water came in faster than thew cosld

A COUNTRY fellow, just come to town,
gaping apout in every shop he came to, at
last came in to an insurance cffice where,
seeing only one man sitting at desk, he
could not imagine what commodity was
sold there, but calling to the clerk, he
said -

The Black Regiment.
BY GEORGE Il. BOXER.

Dark as the clouds of even,
Ranked in the western heaven,
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dread mass, and drifts
Tempest and falling brand
Over a ruined land:-
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eye-balls shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set,
Flashed with a purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
Of the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them that work was sent
For the black regiment.
"Nov," the fag-sergeant cried,
"Though death and hell betide,
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be
Free in this land or Bound
Down, like the whining hound
Bound with red stripes of pain
In our old chains again -
Oh what a shout their went
From the black regiment.
"Charge !" Trump and drum awokc,
Onward the bondmen broke:
Bayonet and sabre stroke
Vainly opposed their rush.
Through the wild battles crush,
With but one thought afush,
Driving their lords like chaff,
IN the guno mouth they laugh;
Or at the slipE cry brands
Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and horse,
Down in their awful course;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel,
All their eyes forward bent
Rushed the black regiment.
"Freedom y their battle cry
"Freedom or leave to die w
All and then meant the word,
Not as with US tbs beard,
Not a mere party-shout:
They gave their spirits oct
Trusted the end to God,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood,
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death.
Praying-alas in vain =
That they might fall again,
SO they could once more see
That burst cf liberty
This was what freedom lent
To the black regiment.
Hundreds on hundreds fell:
But they are resting we'll;
Scourges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong.
Q, to the living few,
Soldiers, be just and true
Hail them as comrades tried;
Fight with them side by side
Never, in field or tent,
