Little Children.


l think them the poetry Of the world-the
fresh flowers of our hearths and homes-little
conjurors, with their natural magic evoking by
their spells what delights and enriches all
ranks, and cqualizcs the different classes of So
ciety. Often as they bring with them ankle
ties and cares, and live to occasion sorrow and
grief, we should get on very badly with out
them. Only think-if there was never any
thing anywhere to be seen but grown-up men
and women, how we should long for the sight
of a little child Every infant comes into the
world IKE cologatod prophet, the harbinger
and herald of good tidings, whose Office it is

Cory o'Lanus on New Years

Eighteen sixty-fvc is about to be gathered
to his ancestors.
Twelve months have elapsed since last New
Years day, and most of us are year older.
7empus .5nga.
Otherwise, Time flies.
Time is an ancient gentleman, not addicted
to patronizng the barber, and gifted with .
pair of wings.
He is equipped with scythc, which gives
him an agricultural aspect, also with an hour
glass, an instrument once used to boil eggs BY.
His outfit is rather out of date.
He ought to buy moving machine, patent
chronometcr, and travel by railroad.
In the latter contingency the possibility Of
killing Time would be satisfactorily tested.
l don't suppose Time will adopt these sug-
gestions; he probably hasn't time to listen to
them.
The velocity of Time depends somewhat on
circumstances.
If you have a-note out, and don't exactly
know where you are going to borrow the money
to meet it, Time does seem in great hurry.
If you happen to be serving out term IN
the Penitentiary, Time appears to take it pro-
voxingly easy.
When / was boy and having my young
idea taught how to shoot at public school No
81, it was inculcated into my youthful mind.
that Time was a valuable institution, and not
to be trifled with.
Time is supposed to have been born about
six thousand years ago, on a New Years day
in the morning

Retrospection.

An Oldham sat by the Gotta &c fire,
And he watched his chidren. play;
And tear stole down his cheek,
But he wiped it not aways
For his thoughts had wandered back again
To the scenes of other years..
And his spirit had found glad relicf
In the falling of his tears.
Again he PLAYED on the dear old hearth,
And he heard a mothers voice,
And the gentle tone fell on his ears,
And thew made his heart rejoice; !
Again he Joined in the blind mans bun,
And the game of hide and seek,
And heard his little sisters voice,
So gentle, soft and meek.
Then in the shade, by The woodland dell,
Or sat with his picture book.
Or wandered n seek some wild birds nest,
That hung DER the ripplng brook.
Till, tired and weary OF boyhood's play,
He turned to his home again
Bv the rustic stiie and the broken bridge,
And the shady old green lane.
And-thus 'hc old NAH sat aud mused.
While the tears fell down his cheek,
But happier hour it was 10 him
Than the old mans tongue could speak.
Yethe knew twas but pleasant dream
That too soon had passed Ger
That his eyes were dim and his locks we're grey,
And he could be young no more.

POETICAL.
Life Leayss.


The following poem is touchingly beautiful
Many an eye will be dimmcd by tear as it reads
these lines, and the thoughts go wandering away
to memory's wildwood"
The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates,
And a single star in the clopdlnss blue
For the rising moon in silence waits
While the winds that sigh to the lauguid hours
A lullaby breath o'er the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half dream,
| pass through the realms Long Ago;
While faces peer with many smile
From the bowers of Memory's magical isle.
There are iovs and sunshine. sorrows AMI tears
That check the path of life's April hours,
And longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreaths with the fairest flowers;
There are friendships guileless-love' as bright
Aud pure as the stars in the halls Of night.
There are ashen memories. bitter pain,
And buried hopes and a broken VOW,
And an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea-breeze tanning pallid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions Wild
And the fierce desire TO stand in the van
OftnG battle of life-and the heart OF the child
Is crushed in the breast OF the struggling man;
But short are the regrets and few are the tears,
That fall at the tomb of the banished years.
There is quiet, and peace and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And truth unquestioning, far above q 4
The passionate dreamings of ardent youth;
And kisses of children on lips and check,
And the parents bliss which no word can speak
There are loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds, and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze;
And we mourn for pressure of tender lips,
And the light ofeyes darkened in deaths eclipse
And thus, as the glow Of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the'earth is cast,
| gaze, meath those beautiful summer skies,
At the pictures thathand in the hall ofthe past;
Oh, Sorrow and JOY, chant mingled lay s
When to memorys wildwood we wander away

Az HoSEsT LiFE.-The poor Iittance OF
seventy years is not worth being william for.
What matter if your neighbor lies in spleh-
did tomb? Sleep you with innocence. Look
behind you through the track Of time. A vast
desert lies open in retrospect; weary with years
and sorrow, they sink from the walks Of man.
You are to leave them where they fall and
you must go little further, and you will find
eternal rest. Whatever you may have to en-
counter between the cradle and the grave, every
moment big with events, which come not in
succession but bursting forcibly from reveal
ing and unknown cause, fly over this orb with
diversified influence.

THE WIDow's sMITE.-Covetous people often
seek to shelter themselves behind the widows
mite, and give paltry sum to the benevolent
objects under color of her contribution. The
following incident has moral for all such:
A gentleman called upon wealthy friend
for a contribution.
-''Yes, suppose must give my mite said
the rich man.
..You mean the widows mite, suppose, re-
piled the other.
"To be sure do"
The gentleman continued: 81 will be salts
fed with half as much as she gave. How
much are you woith7'
..seventy thousand dollars" he answered.
"Give me check, then for thirty-ive thou
sand that viii be half as much as she gave
all she had"

" oman as Seen in the West.

/ western paper thus afectionate-izes:
a pretty woman is one of the institutions
of the country-an angel in dry goods and glo-
ry. She makes sunshine, blue sky, and hap
pinass wherever she goes. Her path is one Of
delicious roses, perfume and beauty. Sheis a
SWEET poem written in rare curls and choice
calico, and good principles. Men stand up be-
fore her as so many admiration points, to melt
int cream and then butter. Her words float
around the ear like music, birds of Paradise, or
the eperfumeS-of the Sabbath bells. Without
her society would lose its truest attraction, the
church its frmest reliance, and young men the
YER best comforterS and company. Her infu-
enc and generosity restrain the viscious and
Strengthen the fainthearted Wherever you
fnd the virtuous woman, you also find fireside
boquets, clean clothes, order, good-living, gen
tie hearts, music, light and modern institutions
generally She lis the flower of humanity, and
her aspirations is the breath of heaven"
