LOVe and Age.
PLAYED with you mid cowslips blowing,

PLAYED with you milo coWenpe blowing,
When was Elk and you were four;
When garlanda weaving, fower-balls throwing,
Were pleasures soon to please no more.
Through groves and meads, o'er grass and heathe,
With little playmates, to and fro,
We wandered hand in hand together:
But that was sixty yean ago.
You grew lovely, roseate maiden,
And still our early love was strong;
Still with no care our days were laden,
They glided joyously along;
And did love you very dearly
How dearly, wOrds want power to show:
Thought your heart was touched ss nearly;
But that was fifty yesrs ago.
Then other lovers came around you,
Your beauty grew from yesr to year,
And many splendid circle found you
The centre Of Its glittering sphere.
l saw you then, first vows forsaking,
On rank and wealth your hand bestow
Oh, then thought my heart was breaking;
But that was forty years ago.
You grew matron. plump and comely,
iou u"tli III TisuiOn 5 DrlSntest DlaZc
Ny earthly lot was far more homely,
But l, too, had my festsl days.
No merrier eyes have ever gstened
Around the hearthstone's wintry glow,
Than when my youngest child was christened;
But that was twenty years ago.
Time passed. My eldest girl was married,
And l am now grandsire gray;
One pet of four years old I've carried
Among the wid-fowered meads to play.
In our old fields of childish pleasure,
Where:now, as then, the cowslips blow,
She fills her baskets ample measure
And that is not ten years ago.
But though frat loves impsssioned blindness
Has passed away in colder light,
still have thought of you with kindness,
And shall do, till our last good night
The ever-rolling silent hours
VIII bring time we shall not know,
When our young days of gathering flowers
VIII be an hundred years ago.

Temperance Meeting in Boston,

A big reception was given by the Va
riouS temperance organizations of Bos-
ton, on Monday evening, to Hon. Hen
ry Wilson, in recognition of his efforts
to promote the cause Of temperance in
congress. Mr.. Wilson made IN eloquent
speech, from which We extract the fol-
lowing testimony TO the efficiency of the
prohibitory law, as compared with any
license law:
tell you, gentlemen, that what the
people of Massachusetts, the great mass
es, cannot pray God for, cannot 90 on

that Massachusetts will never give il

applause)
L am not insensible 10 the strength of
this movement. You, sir, have told us
under what professions ii came to the
state mouse that the present law can
not be enforced therefore, give lis IL
cenSe law. Cannot be enforced l will
tell you what the matter is The mat

was no earthly chance for them, and it
never gave me any anxiety. You have
got your decision in favor of the law.
and now that you are moving on 10 lis
, execution, TO foreelrse the mortgages AMI
enter Judgment, you are met with the
complaint that the cause of temperance
is not promoted by existing laws: that
the law cannot be executed. say, |
understand this. There is another
thing that | understand, and that Is. the
potency of the money power. | know
how potent that is, especially over us
Yankees, who are said TO see 4 silver
dollar great ways, and greenback AT
considerable distance. | know. too, the
power Of the vitiated and depraved ap-
petites and passions of our fallen human
ity; and l know, too, how Indifferent
large classes of our fellow men are TO
this question. / understand all this;
and know, furthermore, that there are
a great many politicians, waiting, like
Mr.. Micawber, for something to turn
up" and there seems to be an idea
among them that something will "turn
up on this question. tell you, ladies
and gentlemen, there will be great deal
more turning down than up. daughter

Now, | do not want 10 see this

was intending to say, "Set your OWL
price," but the mention of wages to the
exquisite young lady before NE seemed
absolutely impertinent. In my embar.
rassment quite forgot that l had moi
stated what l wished her to do for a
''struggling man." But my unconnected
words had evidently conveyed to her
some sort of meaning, for she had be-
come very pale, and was leaning against
a chair for support. She saw l was
awaiting an answer
''Mr. Pratt" said she in tremuIous
voice, ''allow me to say that l regard
your proposition as little ill-timed.
Why this desperate haste l thank you
for the honor you do me, but at least al
low me little time to become acquaint-
ed with you. You cannot expect HE to
bestow, ,my affections upon an utter stran
ger, who has not even professed any re-
gard for me-"
Imagine the situation 1t came over
me like lightning, flash on flash. Here
had l been stammering and suffering a
proposal TO this young girl AT any
rate, she thought so. What should /
do? What could l do! The perplexi-
ty may have been ludicrouS, but | am
sure 1t was very, very embarrassing .
How could [ tell her that what she had
mistaken for an offer OF marriage was
only a request for her services in my
kitchen !
No, if l had to burn at the stake
couldn't do it. A man of expedients
might have crept out OF such nooSe-
not l. Moreover, / didn't feel half 81

heart gave a double beat-half fright.
half JOY. The fact that l had, 10y pure
accident, taken false step and could
noSretrace it, struck HE then and there
as as an especial providence. | had
done 1t with my eyes shut. but, in Ga,
plds name, what better could | hav,
done with my eyes open? Here was q
superior woman, acknowledged even by
the envious Miss Peters TO he a capital
housewife, and TO nv knowledge Z
charming companion. What more could
L ask in wife ! | thought very fast.
but the more | thought the more certain
l was that | had only anti ;pated mat
tiers little; for was already in love.
and must have inevitably have come 10 4

and | hadn't had it TO dread. either
SOME compensation this TO ditiident
nan.
So, without any very prolonged pause.
l took Miss Wilcox's hand, and this Is
what | said TO her as | was leaving the
house
"My dear friend, / do not ask you to
take hasty step. Consult your own
heart :; and that You may DO SO more cf-
fectlvely | hope with your leave to give
you frequent opportunities Of continuing
our acquaintance. Take time to conSil-
er; but believe me, vour decision will
materially affect my happiness. Good
night"
Her answer was given two months al
terward but, if the editor had not OBJ
Jected, l should have published last
Christmas the following remark:
