Il The Evening Of the Year."

The following exquisite verses are
from Wayside Posies," collection
of original and selected poems edited
by Robert Buchanan:
Now dark and dry is piled the wheat,
The wine-press feels no stained feet,
The white moon shrinks her sickle clear,
and voices of the air repeat,
"It is the evening Of the year"
Why have missed, while men have found?
Men smile that corn and wine abound,
And children eat the ripened ear;
I gaze at them from barren ground
1t is the evening of the year.
20, love! it seems but yesterday,
A child in fresh green fields lay,
And dreamt of thee where skies were clear,
But withered' leaves bcstrew my way;
It's the evening of the year.
30, face that have never seen,
Somewhere on earth with saddened mein
Thou wastest full of sober cheer;
Come where the reaper's foot hath been,
Ut is the evening of the year.
"Come to me, 0 my love, my fate,
Ere all be cold and desolate!
Come! / have sought thee far and near ;
Come lest wither while wait;
1t is the evening of the year."

GY Marriage is to woman
at once the happiest and
saddest event of her life-it is
the promise of future bliss rails
ed on the death of present en-
joyment. She quits her home
and her parents, her compan-
ions, her amusements-every-
thing ON which she has hitherto
depended for comfort, for affec-
ton, for kindness and for pleas
ure. The parents by whose
advice she has been guided |;
the sister to whom she has dar-
ed to impart the embryo
thought and feeling ; the broth
er who has played with her, by
turns the counselor, and the
younger children, to whom she
has hitherto been the mother
and playmate-are all to be
torsaken at one fell stroke
every former tie is loosened-
the spring of action is changed
and she flies with JOY in the UNI
trodden paths before her !;
bouyed up by the confidence of
requitted love, she bids a fond
and faithful adieu to the life
that is past, and turns with ex-
cited hopes and joyous antici-
patton to the happinesstoeome.
Then woe to the man who can
blight such fair hopes-who
can treacherously lure such a
heart from its peaceful enioy-
ment and wateliful protection
OF home-who can, coward like.
break the illusions which have
Won her, and destroyed the
confidence which love had in
spired."

CHEMICAL CONTENTS OF A Cup OF
TEA.-The cup of tea we drink, ac-
cording to chemical analysis, contains
volatile oil, chlorophyl, wax, rosin.
tannin, theme, extractine, apotheme,
albumen, sulphur. phosphorus, chic
ride of potassium, oxyd of iron, car
Donate, sulphate. and phosphate of
lime, carbonate of magnesia, mangan-
csc, and silica-twenty different arti-
cles. The peculiar flavor of tea de-
ponds on the volatile oil, which is
lighter than water, and has lemon
yellow color, and the smell of tea.-
Liebig is of the opinion that tea is not
only an astringent and dilutent, but
possesses nutritive properties of no
mean kind. A great deal of profound
chemistry is connected with the sub
ject of theme, as it exists in tea, and
caffeine in coffee; both of the same
property, or substance, contained in
dissimilar vegetable productions-the
leaves of one tree and berries of the
other. Tea and coffee act upon the
nerves and upon the brain, and have a
quickening and refreshing influence !;
but taken in excess, result in excite
ment prejudicial to sleep and rest
Green tea is considered more injurious
to persons of ahighly nervous temper
ament than the black Chemical
Meas. tp

ANEcDoTR OF GEN. Lee
The editor of the Galveston
Civilian, writing from New Or
leans, says:
We also enjoyed ourself for
q few moments with that edu-
Gated soldier, accomplished gem
tleman, and very sensible bust
ness man Gen. James Long,
street, of the firm of Longstreet,
owen & Co., and while with
him heard from his own truth
tul tongue the following char
acteristic anecdote of Gen. r.
II. Lee, whom he asserted to be
"the best man in the world"
On one occasion, Gen. Lee
called Col. L., one of his staff
officers, into his tent, and COM
menced debating while Col. L..
wrote. Col. Z. had in his mouth
apipe. and was smoking. The
General inhaled the noxious
vapor until his patience became
exhausted, and then said, "Col.
H., you can retire, and send me
Col. NJ; he does not smoke. -
Col. L. retired, and in a few
moments Col. M. entered, to
whom the General commenced
debating, but after inhaling the
atmosphere of the tent for
awhile, discovered it to be con-
siderably impregnated mot with
the perfume of roses, but the
odious smell of villainous whis-
ky, which he could not stand.
"Retire, Col. NJ, and send me
an officer who neither drinks
nor smokes; / would rather en-
dure the smoke of tobacco than
the smell of whisky"

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-In
a late article in Frazer's Maya
zine, this briefbut beautiful and
true passage occurs:
Education does not COM
mence with the alphabet-it
begins with a mothers love /;
with a fathers smile of appro-
baton, or a sign of reproof /;
with a sisters gentle forbear-
ance with a handful Of flowers
in green and dainty meadow /;
with a birds nest admired, but
not touched; with creeping
ants, and almost imperceptible
comet; with pleasant walks in
shady lanes, and with thoughts
directed in sweet and kindly
tones and words to nature ; to
acts of benevolence !; to deeds
of virtue, and to the source of
all good-God himself.

GODS PLAN OF YOUR LIFE.
Never complain of your birth,
your employment, your hard
SHIPS; never fancy that you
could be something, if you had.
a different lot and sphere as
signed to you. God under
stands his own plan,. and he
knows what you want a great
deal better than you do. The
very things you most depre-
cate as fatal limitations or OBJ
structions, are probably what
you most want. What you call
hindrances, obstacles, discour-
agements, are probably Gods
opportunities; and it is nothing
new that the patient should
dislike his medicines, or any
certain proof that they are
poisons. No! a truce to all
such Impotence. Choke that
envy which gnaws at your
heart because you are not in
the same lot with others. Bring
down your soul, or rather bring
it up to receive Gods will, and
do his work, in your, lot, in
your sphere, under your cloud
Eof obscurity, against your
temptations, and you shall find
THAT your condition is never
Opposed to your good, but con-
Tsistent with it, DR.. Bushnell.

A Coon HEART.-There was

A Coon HEART.-There was
a great master among the Jews,
who bid his scholars consider
and tell him what was the best
way wherein a man should al
ways keep. One came and said,
that there was nothing better
than a good eye, which is, in
their language, a liberal and
contented disposition. Another
said a good companion is the
best thing in the world. A third
said, a good neighbour was the
best thing he could desire and
a fourth preferred a man that
could foresee things to come !;
that is, a wise person. But, at
last, came in one Eleazer, and
he said, a good heart was better
than all. True, said the master,
thou has comprehended in two
words all that the rest have
said. For he that hath a good
heart will be both contented
and a good companion, and a
good neighbor, and easily see
what is fit to be done by him.
Let every man then seriously
labor to find himself a sincerity
and uprightness of heart at all
times, and that win save him
abundance of other labor.

ORIGINALITY IN WRITING. IF you
would write to any purpose, you must
be perfectly free from within. Give
yourself the natural rein; think on
no pattern. no patron. no paper, no
press. no public; think on nothing,
but follow your impulses. Give your
self as you are-what you are, and how
you see it. Every man sees with his
own eyes, or does not see at all. This
is incontrovertibly true. Bring out
what you have. IF you have nothing,
be an. honest beggar rather than a re-
spectacle thief Emmerson.
