Who worked hard at his trade,
But had a household to support
That squandered all he made.

/ look threadbare and rough;
I've tried to get myself suit,
But can't save up enough"
Says l, "My friend, how much have you?
I'll tell you where to go
To get suit that's sound and cheap
At SMITH, BROS. d CO."
He took what little he had saved,
And went to Smith & Brothers,
And there he got handsome suit,
For half he paid to others.
Now he is home, he looks:.so we'll,
And the respect is such,
That when they take their daily meals
They don't eat half so much.
And now he finds on Saturday night,
With all their wants supplied,
That he has money left to spend
And some to lay aside.
His good success, with cheerful smile.

Over the Way.

Gone in her childlike purity
Out from the golden day;
fading away in the light so sweet
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
& Over the silent way.
Over the bosom tenderly
- The pearl white hands are pressed;
Iheiashes lie on her cheek so thin
Where the softest blush of the rose hath been
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed to rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was so fragile that love sent down,
from his heavenly gems that soft, bright crown
To shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Frozen on her silent lips
By the farewell kiss of her dewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death,
like the last fair bud of faded wreath,
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bough-
Doyou miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
Ta its velvet lips with the essence wet,
In Orient crimson glow?
Rosebud-under your shady leaf
m Hid from the sunny day
Dovou miss the glance of the eye so bright,
Whose blue was heaven to your timid sight?
1t beaming now in a world of light,
Over the starry way.
Hearts-where the darling head hath lain,
Held by loves shiuing ray
Doyou know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land?
Oh, size waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

MISCELLANY.

TEARS AT WEDDINGs.-It is surprising how
infectious tears are at wedding. First OF all
the bride cries because she's going to be mar
ried and then, of course, the brides maids
cry, perhaps because they are not; the fond
mamma cries because she'll l-l-losc her d-dar-
ling; and then the fond papa cries because nc
thinks it's proper; and then all the ladies cry
because ladies, as rule, will never miss
chance of crying; but we never knew the
grOomsmen to cry.
