undertook afterward to use il himself at his
own instance. He had done this several times
with apparent advantage; although several of
his friends thought he displayed symptoms of
cerebral disturbance. Last evening, suffering
again with paroxysm of headache, he inhaled
an overdose of the anPsthetic. symptoms of
wildness were perceptble; nevertheless he
continued TO hold conversations apparently ra-
uonal. Tie physician who was with him APP
pretended no danger until the moment that he
expired"

THE LONG TO-MORROW.

Old age, that strains the web of life,
And checks that shuttle's eager PAGES,
Brings rest from all the worlds vain strife,
And leaves an old man to old faces;
And still my heart beats warmly yet,
Although, grandchildren play before me,
And can easily forget
That eighty summers have pass'd DER me.
Sweet maiden with the downcast eyes,
To whom my grandson gaily chatters,
And treasures up the low replies
Yon make on many foolish matters;
I wonder, when a dearer name
He whispers thro' those shining tresses,
IF you'n believe I've done the same,
And thrilled heart with my caresses!
And when my youngest joined bis ship,
So fearful at the sad home faces,
Shrunk at his mothers quivering lip,
The while he sighed for far-off places;
I wonder if he ever thought
had my dreams of earth and glory;
But silvered hairs have sternly taught
The worth of that heroic story.
And often in the May throng,
When little feet are lightly dancing,
And as each maiden whirls along,
The bony eyes give sweeter dancing,
/ sit apart and widely dream
That my fair youth has not departed,
And older hopes and fancies seem
To leave me far moro tender-hearted.
My life's gay spring had many joys
The summer bro't me Loves first roses,
The autumn gave me my brave boys,
Iwait until the winter closes;
Each season has in order brought
The mingled flowers of JOY and sorrow,
And many an earnest lesson taught
And SO wait the long Tomorrow.

AMONG THE CORN.

AMONG THE CORN.
The girl sat down mid the rustling corn
And startled q nestled bird,
And up it sprang with a burst OF song;
But do not think she heard.
What does she think about sitting there3
What does her spirit see? la
Is she thanking God for His golden sky,
And for river, and hill, and tree9
No; for her hearts in the city streets,
Where the working day is done:
The crowds are hurying home, she knows,
But she only thinks of one.
She sees a.room in an old brown house,
With window long and low,
Where above the hum and dusty MOL
Some country geraniums grow.
She dreams of the life the women have M
Who live in such honlely place: q
Is it the light of the setting sun
That is glowing on her face .r,...5s
Let her sit and dream mid the rustling corn
Till the golden sky grow gray; .ri..,,.
We scarcely notice Gods earth is fair
Till something is gone away. - lEa

Early rs the dew was dry, 2 ta
Up the hill went, a berryiDg,
Need tell you, tell you why2
Farmer Hooten had a daughter, ,.-s-.
Aud it happened that I knew,
On such Summer mornings Jennie TO
Up the hill went berrytng too.
Lonely work is picking berries, A
So joined her on the hill,
Jennie, DEAR said /, "your baskets
Quito too large for one to FILL"
So we started-we two to fill it, i
Jennie talking-I was still aa +
Leading where the way was steepest,
Picking berries up the hill.
"This is up hill work." said Jennie,
$50 is life" said I "shall we
Climb it each alone, or, Jennie,
VIII you come and climb with me?"
Retlder than the blushing berries
Jennie's checks u moment grew,
While without delay she answered, 80
II will come and climb with you"
