ed her gaze upon the old man, and then mp
on her husband. Surely, in that greeting
between the poor man and the rich, there
was none of that c0nstraint which would
have been expected. They met rather as
frenls and neigllbors, What could it
mean
Hark ! the clock strikes twelve! The
old year is gone; a new, a bright winged

Thomas Wilkins took the hand of his
wife within his own. and then drawing from
bis bosom paper. he placed it in her hand
remarliing as he did so:
Lizzie. this is your husbands present
Tor the new year."
The wife took the paper and opened it.
She realized its contents at a glance, but
she could not read it word for word, for the
streaming tears Of wild, frantic joy would
not let her. With a quick, nervous move
mcnt, she placed the priceless pledge next
her bosom and then, with low murmur,
like the gentle Whispering of some Heaven
bound angel. she fell, half fainting, into
her husbands arms.

Five wears have passed since that happy

Not Yet.

Not yet--along the purpling sky
We see the dawning ray;
But leagues of cloudy distance lilo
between US aud the sky.
Not yet the aloe waits serene
Its promised advent hour;
A patient century of green
For one iull, perfect flower!
Not yet--no harvest song is sung,
In the sweet ear of Spring;
Nor hear we, while the blade is young,
The reaper's sickle swing.
Not yet-beforc the crown the cross;
The struggle ere ths-prize;
Before the gain the fearful loss;
The death ere Paradise.

A BIBLICAL REPJTATION.-An old and
valued correspondent, Mr.. Lord, who is
now residing in Illinois. was, a short time
since, travelling from jacksonville to Peo-
ria. in that State. As he was passing q
small hut by the roadside he noticed a shag-
gy-headed boy, of about eight years OF age
with large eyes and no hat, dressed in a
WORKOUT pair ot his fathers trowsers, try
ing to balance himself on the splntered top
of hickory stump.
More for the purpose Of breaking the
monotony of riding all day without speak
ing, than to gain attenuation, Mr.. Lord
rei"ned his horse up to the fence, and cX-
claimed,
My little boy, can you tell me how far
il is to Sangamon bottoms ~

Lord.

Finding he had hold of genius that
could not be pumped. Mr.. Lord turned his
horses head to depart, but in his turn was
now hailed by the boy, who, in comical,
halt-reluctant tone, exclaimed.

Good Night.
Downward sinks the setting sun,
Soft the evening shadows fall;
Light is flying.
Day is dying,
Darkness stealeth over all,
Good night!
Autumn garners in her stores
Poison Of the fading year,
Leaves are dying,
Winds are signing,
Whispering Of the Winter near,
Coed night!
Youth is. s.vanished, manhood wanes,
Age its ior~ard shadow throws;
Day is dying,
Years are flying.
Life runs onward to its close,

Ireland and Poland are among the fair

In spite Of all the predictions that have

matter Of fact very few emigrants from

The reason is perfectly obvious. So
