POE r II Y
For the Pamela STAR.
Drifting with the Tide.


One dreamy summers evening,
With Nellie by my side
Our boat adown Pearl river,
Was drifting with the tide
The waters parted softly
From the languid moving Prov,
And rippled into wsyelcts
Bright as curs on Nclie.s brow
The sky was bright aud truthful
In It's promise to the morn,
And had spread bed of azure
For the cyc-star to be born.
Tie clouds were flushing crimson
With the loye-thought they had won,
And the dreams Of passion stolen
From the slowly setting sun.
The mir was soft and balmy,
And the fairy fingered breeze
Dropd zephyrs cool upon our brows
From out the willow trees
Tie swans were floating softly
On the rivers quiyering breast,
Like white-wingcd ships Of ocean
When they furl their sails to rest.
The lilies mid the rushcs,
We're playing hide and seek,
But they bent their heads in homage
To the rose on Nellie's cheek.
And the murmur Of tile water,
As into my heart II stole
Made song Of gentle rythm
To the lore-thoughis In my soul
OH loved this gentle maiden
And, though worshipped from afir,
Since the days Of early boyhood,
She had been my guiding star
Was !, the hour, So dreamy,
The beauty OF the scene,
The fragrant breath Of lilie.,
Or the water IS silver sheen,
That rolled the stone Of silence
From the loye-founi in my soul,
And sent it, gushing wildly,
To my lips, beyond control
know not, and AK not;
This, and only, | know
She listened to my story,
Told in broken accents low.
Oh twas sweet to watch the roses
To the lilies giving chase,
Til they bioomcd with loves own lriuu
on her iowncast bashful face.
oh twas swcc, to watch the maiden
Seeking yainly then to hide
Her bosom tender hcaving,
While drifting with the tide.
On twas swect to watch fiir Nellie
teigning anger fcigning pride.
As her hand by mine was captured.
While We drincd with the tide.
In vain, with maiden eoyncV,
Did she seek TO p0ut and chidc-
A kt'i hy me was stolen,
As we dri1ed with the tide.
And now, with love and joyouness
With Nellie for my bride,
Our boat adown life river
l. drifting with the tide.

The SHELL ON THE SHoRE.-I had turned
over the wet pebbles and the damp weeds, ard
sought with naked feet amongst the waves for
some bright shell or colored stone to carry
home; but 1 could find none. Tired out
had lain down on a pile Of stone to rest and
to watch the waves unroll themselves on the
waiting sands. [ needed not the tide, but
let it go and come with out notice.
After long interval than | dare tell, con-
sidering / was without boots or stockings,
and my coat damp with the spary of the last
tide, woke from my dream and renewed my
search of prize, and sure enough there was a
shell glistening and cleaning, colored like a
sunlit crystal, just dropped from the white
fingers of some daring wave. l did not hurry
to possess myself of it, but sat still admiring.
l was sure could reach it at any moment
with my stick, and who was near on this
lonely beach ere I could get it? Splash
splash, and uprolled huge wave, Kissing and
hurrying, rattling the stone, wctting my feet
and the shell, where is it? Hooked around,
I followed the recedjng water; dripping sea-
grass and creamy clots Of forth only remained
to meet me; the shell-the beautiful shell
was gone Old Neptune had altered his
mind and got back his pearl.
A little loss this, but uttering lofty lesson,
never to lose an opportunity of taking every
gift of mercy or needfulness the tide Of time
may bring us; if unused-neglected-
wave that it brought will soon take away.

My Wife, NY Cat and Me.

Let winter come with chilling look
And strip the summer bower,
He cannot rob me OF my Book,
Or Phisosophic hour.
Yes let him come with aspect chill,
The leaves strip from the tree,
Theirs three that can be happy still.
My wife, my cat and me.
The storm may bowl; the snow may fall,
The frost may glitter bright,
heed them not whilst on the wall,
Yhe hearth FIRE shows its light
Nor care how the wind may blow,
If from dun I'm free;
For little will suffice you know,
My wife, my cat and me:
The fool may pleasure take in wealth,
covet not his pelt,
He's richer who's a mind and health,
who does not fear himself
How sweet to hope for brighter days,
Though they shall never be,
While warm we sit before the blaze,
My wife, my cat and me.
And when old age with silent pace,
Strews DER our heads his SHOWS,
Ploughs burrows deep upon the face,
And steals the full blown rose.
How sweet twill be when death shall come,
To know that then we three,
Shall sleep together in one tomb,

received here from Thaddeus Stevens, in
which he declares his intention to urge upon
Congress, as soon as itmeets in November, two
great measures essential to the safety of the
country. The first is a general impeachment
law, defining offences upon which an officer
may be impeached, and expressly declaring
that no officer shall continue to exercise
powers of his Office during his trial. The
second law which Mr.. Stevens intends to urge

have power to prohibit citizens of the United
