LOVE.

Love 1 will tell what it is to love:
1t is to build with human thoughts shrine
Where hope sits brooding like beauteous
dove:
Where time seems young, and Life thing
divine,
All tastes. all pleasures, all desires combine
To- consecrate this sanctuary of bliss.
Above, the skies in shroudless beauty shine,
Around the streams their fowery margins
kiss.
And if there is heaven, on earth, that heav-
en- is surely this !
Yes, this is love. the steadfast and the true
The immortal glory which can never set
The best, the brightest boon that heart eer
knew,
Of all life's sweets, the sweetest yet
Oh ! who but can recall the eve when first
they met,
To breathe in some green walk their first
young vow;
While summer flowers with twilight dews
were wet,
And winds sighed soft around the noun
ta:n's brow,
And all was rapture then, which is but MEM
ory now.

THE FLIGHT OF TIME.

Another year another year
The unceasing rush of time sweeps on,
Whelme' IN its surges disappear
Mans hopes and fears forever gone.
y, no forbear that idle tale
The hour demands another strain,
Demands high thoughts that cannot quail,
And strength to conquer and retain.
lis midnight-from the dark blue sky,
The stars, which now look down on earth,
Have seen ten thousand centuries fly,
And given to countless changes birth.
AID when the pyramids shall fall,
And, moldering, mix as dust in air,
The dwellers on this altered ball
May still behold them glorious there.
Shine on! shine on . with you 1 tread
The march of ages, orbs of light!
A last eclipse o'er you may spread
10 me, to me, there comes no night.
o, what concerns it him whose way
Lies upward to the immortal dead,
That few hairs are turning gray,
Or ore more year of life has fed.
Swift years ! but teach me how to bear,
To feel and act with strength and skill,
To reason wisely, nobly dare,
And speed your courses as ye will.
When life's meridian and tolls are done.
How calm, how rich the twilight glow!
The morning twilight of sun
Which shines not here on things below.
But sorrow, sickness, death, the pain
To leave, or lose, children, friends!
What then-shall we not meet again
Where parting comes not, sorrow endss
The fondness of "a parents care,
The changeless trust which woman gives,
The smile of childhood-it is there
That all we love in them still live.
Press onward through. each varying hour;
Let no weak fears thy course delay;
Immortal being feel thy power,
Pursue thy bright and endless way.

A WOMAN'S KISS.

Throughout the reign of childhood's years
Its tender woes, its transient tears,
Which mar its smiling bliss;
o! what is that so sweetly found,
A soothing balm for every wound
1t is-a woman's kiss,
A woman's kiss! O, sweeter far
Than mornings sun, or evenings star.
Or ought the tongue e'er tells;
1t gladdens more than mornings light,
Or that endearing ray at night,
And every gloom dispels.
A woman's tender kiss. impressed.
Can charm to peace the savage breast
Of one so loved, so fair;
Those smiles, on seraph pinions bright,
Upon the lips again will light,
And sweetly frolic there.
And when few years are passed away,
And manhood first has learned to stray,
To seek false pleasures sweet;
A woman's kiss, so kind and true,
Is last to bid fond adieu.
And first at home to greet.

WESTERN SIMpLICITY.-Western SIM
plicity--not greenness, but genuine
candor and character to be seen in
the following incident, furnished some
time since by Western writer:
In a wild Western neighborhood,
where the sound of the church going
bell had never been heard, notice was
given that the Rev Mr.. A, a distin-
guished Presbyterian divine, would
preach on certain day.
After the service had begun, raw
boned hunter, with rifle in hand and all
the accoutrements of the chase about
him, entered and took the only vacant
seat-a nail keg without either head.
The current of the preachers thoughts
led him into description of heaven and
its inhabitants. With great power he
had drawn picture of the habitation
of the blessed, and was assi5 ming each
of the patriarchs, prophets and apostles
bis appropriate place. His Calvanistic
tendencies led him to reserve the Apos-
tie Paul for his climax. With his eye
fixed upon the highest point, and with
an upward gesture that seemed to be di-
rected to the loftiest attitude of the
heavenly places, he said:
"And where, my brethren, shall we
seat the great Apostle of the Gentiles ?
where, say, shall we place the Apostle
Paul p
Then pausiDs, to give the magma
ton time to reach the elevation design
ed for the Apostle, he fixed his eyes
upon our hero of the rife He, there
fore. thinking the address personal, rose
instantly, and then replied:
"If he can't do no better he can take
my seat"
1t is needless to say that that climax
was never reached.

MIR. Cough on Habit.

John B. Cough once lectured on the
subject of "Habit.'' There is hardly
fault peculiar to poor human nature

the satire which he exercises so power

audience the habit of civility. He said

possibly exercise How very exacting,

extent to which their civility was taxed.

"No, sir; it is the express train"
"Don't the express train stop there?"
"No sir, it goes past"
