sappho's Famous Song.

TRANSLATION OF AMBROSE PHILLIPS.
Blest as the immortal gods is he,
The youth who fondly sits by thee,
And hears and sees thee all the while
Softly speak and sweetly smile.
Twas this deprived my soul of rest,
And raised such tumults in my breast;
For while / gazed in transport tost,
My breath was gone, my voice was lost.
My bosom glowed; the subtle fame
Ran quick through all my vital frame;
O'er my DIM eyes darkness hung;
My ears with hollow murmurs rung.
In dewy damps my limbs were chilled;
My blood with gentle horrors thrilled;
My feeble pulse forgot to play
! tainted, sunk, and died away.

A Cure for Laziiiess.

A friend, whose name we are not at lib
erty to give, but who is well and widely,
known as business man of sterling worth
was last year erecting a large building
One of his excellent pacularities is, to allow
no intemperance or profanity among his
men, and to insist that every man shall
work for the liberal pay he is willing to
give. One day this gentleman noticed that
one of the builders was continually shirking,
seeming to care only to pass away the time
and draw his pay. Calling his foreman, who
had the hiring as well as the overseeing Of
the men, our friend asked whether the lazy
hand had been engaged for the season, or
only for a short time "For the season.
was the reply, "but l can discharge him, l
suppose. ."--"Oh! no." said Mir, "but
want you to go down to the village hotel
and engage the best room you can find let
this man go there and occupy it every month
send his bill to me, and will pay it. The
foreman informed the hired man of the in
structions given, and he al once went to the
owner. II understand you are not satisfied
with my work." sand he" l find no fault
with your work." was the reply, "but be-
cause you don't work" II will leave, il
you insist on it, said the man. Not at all
Il don't turn you away, but have given
orders to have the best room at the hotel put
at your service, since you want to play the
gentleman at my expense, and promise you
will pay the bill promptly every month, but
will not have your bad example among
my men," The poor fellow, utterly dumb
founded at such novel treatment, scarcely
know how to reply, hut looked as though he
would like to sink into the ground. Finally,
be asked, .'Are you willing to try me for
week. -" Certainly" said Mr.--, 81
am always willing to help man who wants
to reform. The man returned to his work,
cured of his laziness, and from that day forth,
no more industrious hand was to be found
on the place
