with pleasure, or throb with pain, without
quick response from mine. | am the centre of
its little world its very life depends on my faith
full care. 1t is my sweet duty to deck those dim
pied limbs, to poise that tiny, trembling foot:
yet stay Ny duty ends not here! Asoul looks
forth from those blue eyes! Anundying spirit,
that shall plume its wing for ccaseless fight,
guided by my erring hand
The hot blood of anger may rot poison the
fount whence it draws its life, or the hasty
words escape my lips, in that pure presence
WayWard, passionate, Iepulsive-how shall J.
approach il, but with blush upon my gpiris
and silent prayer.
Oh, ceaseless sentinel, slumber not at thy
post of its trusting innocents!
Oh, reckless sower CT the seed, let rot tho

Conductors Of the press, in popular govern
ments, occupy place i'll the social and political
system Of the very highest consequence They
wear the character Of public instructors. Their
daily labor bears directly on the intelligence the
morals. the taste and the public spirit of the
country. Not only are they Journalists, record
ing political occurrences, but they discuss prin-
ciples. they comment on measures, they can
vas5 characters; they hold a power over tho
reputation, the feelings, the happiness of indi-
viduals The public ear is always open to their
addresses, the public sympathy easily made ro-
sponsive to their sentiments 1t is indeed, sir,
distinction of high honor that theirs Is tho
only profession express protected and guarded
by constitutional enactments. Their employ
ment scars so high in It's ralconsequcnccs-
it is so intimately connected with the public
happiness, that It's security is provided for By
the fundamental law. While it acts in man
ner worthy OF this distinction, the press is .
fountain of light and source of eladdening
warmth. 1t instructs the public mind and AM
mates the spirit Of patriotism. Its loud voice
suppresses everything which would raise itself
against the public liberty, and It's blasting re-
b1ske causes incipient despotism toperish in the
bud. "-DdnieI Webster.

Sadness.

There is mysterious feeling that frequently
passes like cloud over the spirit 1t comes
upon the so9l Ia the busy hustle Of life, in the
social circle, in the calm and silent retreat of
solitude. It's power is alike supreme over the
weak and the iron hearted. At one time it is
caused by a single thought across the mind
Again sound will come booming across the
ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the
death-knell overshadowing all the bright hopes
scribe it, and yet who has not felt It's bewider-
ing influence? Still it is delicious sort of ser
low, and like cloud dimming the sunshine of
the river, although casting momentary shade
Of gloom, it enhances the beauty Of returning
brightness.

Farewell, Sweet Mountain Home.


Farewell, farewell, sweet mountain home
How fondly clings my heart to you
Reluctantly my footsteps roam
And tearfully / say adieu.
Farewell, thou tiny, laughing rilli
No more upon thy banks I'll stray;
Thou wilt be gay and happy still
WI hen l, alas am far away.
The birds will come again next spring
And seek once more their favorite tres;
Again their songs Of praise they'll sing,
But ah ! they will not sing for me.
The spring will call my flowers out
That slumber now beneath the snow,
The breeze will watt the scent about
But not for me, for / must go.
The running rose beside the door,
That learned so gracefully to climb,
I'll see its bushes never more
No more its tender branch entwine
No more II see at close of day,
The round red sun go down to rest,
And hide his golden head away
Upon yon lofty mountains breast.
How have loved this happy glen.
Have loved the mountains tall and blue
Here Nature was my only friend,
But never friend was half so true.
She never failed her gifts to bring
With gratitude my heart to move,
She gave her floral offering,
And bade her birds to sing of love
From haunts of men removed afar
All things appeared more pure and true
More brightly beamed each radiant star
From out heaven of fairer blue.
Thus two sweet years in this dear home
1t has been mine in peace to dwell.
But fortune once more bids me roam
Sweet spot, forever fare-thee-well,

And the school-house hard by, where we got
many thump,
And the tall and slender teacher, good old jim
my F.,
Who taught US there from Baker unto the ssRuze
Of Three;
And the many noisy boys, and all the pretty
girls:
There was bright-eyed Fanny, with her long
brown curls,
And her fair and pretty sisters. Betsey and Nan
For whom sure many a school-boy entertained a
X. fancy;
And others [ might name to thee,
But, alas! fond memory faileth me.
Among the boys let these suffice:
Mat j., with slouch hat, clothes not nice
Jim D., with his big head and face.
Ben b., a regular scape grace,
Bill t. a fabler rich and rare,
With whom none other could compare
And can't you recall our good old teacher
With round breasted coat just like preacher?
Don't you remember, at twelve by the sun,
When he cried, "close boobs." the morn's work
was done,
Then stood at his DESK and read the good book,
And kneeling, prayed with so fervent look?
Have you not often thought, in those long past
days,
The girls had brighter eyes, the boys funnier
ways,
That Lewis creek was deeper not so much rill,
And the sun shone brighter than now on CARRIER 5
Hill?
Ah Fred, those happy days are past forever !
Ween
The like by you and me will never more be seen.
