BEAUTIFUL PoEM.-We have seldom seen
more beautiful sentiment than the following

Tell me, ye winged winds
That round my pathway roar,
Do you not know some spot
Where prices are some lower
Some store ''chuck" full of boots,
And pretty boots you know,
Where one can buy all these
At prices very low? ...-
Tho glad winds raised, and in frightful roar,
Did thunder, Sat Thacher's store.
This popular store is in the old Boulton stand
Market street, Sunbury. Don't forget the place.

EVENING BRINGS US HOME.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wilner on the void,
And we % Lord have wandered from Thy fold;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumble, and the rocks
Where the brown lichen, and the fox
Watches the straggler from tho scattered ilocks,
But evening brings US home.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pitiful complaints-O, rest is sweet
When evening brings US home.
We have been wounded by The hunters darts,
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy comiug-when the light departs
And evening brings US home.
The darkness ga.hGrs Through, the s'soTi hp
star
Rises TO guide US. We have wandered far;
Without Thy lamp We know not where We are,
Ateyening brings Us home.
Tha clouds are round US, and the snow-drfts
thicken,
o, thou dear Shepherd, leave US not to sicken
In the waste night-our tardy footsteps quicken,
At evening bring Us home.

Scientifically Obscure.

The late DR.. Wilson, senior Fellow Of
Trinity College, Dublin, though very
grave man himself, was fond Of quizzlng
and puzzling the country folks who came
10 inquire after their relatives and friends
in the college. One day seeing man
standing in the court with a letter in lis
hand, gaping and staring about and not
knowing where to 60, he walked 10 HIN
gravely, and inquired what he wanted.
The man ans svered, "Sir, can you tell
me where | may find DR.. DeInOunt !"
"Yes," said the doctor; "do you see the
building before you ;" "Yes." Then
cruelty this quadrangle and take the d.
aneter of The plot beyond ii, enter the
opening before you, and ascend the lig.
neous grades; then turn 10 your lefI and
you will find him either peiipaIounding in
his cubicle. Dominating in his !ectory, or
corresponding through bis fenssif,.'
The poor man, who understood nothing
of all this, and not remembering one
word bu, the last, said, "snd pray sir,
what is the fenestra ?" To which the
Doctor replied, at is an orifce in an edI'
fee 10 admit luminous particles" "Oh,

walked of more perplexed than before.
