AGAIN.

Oh, sweet and fair oh, rich and rare +!
That day SO long ago,
The autumu's sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow;
The ferns were clad in cloth Of gold,
The waves sung on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing
Forever, evermore.
Oh, fit and few oh, tried and true!
The friends who meet that day,
Each one the others spirit know;
And so, in earnest play,
The honrs few past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore
We said. Such days shall come again
Forever, evermore."
One day again, no cloud of pain
A shadow o 'er us cast,
Aud yet we strove in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past
Like, but unlike the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words We said, the songs we sung,
-unlike-evermore.
For ghosts unseen crept in between,
Aud, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an uudertone,
Aud marred the harmony.
" The past is ours, not yours, they said
"The waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same are not the same,
Oh never, never more !"

Provided they do so of their own free
will,' he answered, and without being re-
quested or persuaded to do so by any person
whatsoever
Lying in bis coffin so like a grave old
bishop, vowed to chastity and the church, |
looked at him with more than pity for bis
lonely eminence-surrounded all his life with
public work and public men, and not a
Woman's love to make his triumph worth di>
viding, or comfort his overthrow. Beyond
all this, felt that few bachelor old men had
been half so cheerful, so self-reliant; 50
proud to die as calmly for their solitary fame
as other Presidents for the honor Of theiI
children.
Said FRANKIE, the brewer, to me:
Mr.. Buchanan would have been more Of
a man with wife. Understanding the fam
lily relation by experience would have made
him a broader statesman. He would not
have been so cold, and he would then have
had better friends
must not fail to add that Mr.. Buchanan
considered his mother, whom be we'll remem>
bered, as the best and most talented woman
he had ever known. He spoke of her to
some few intimate friends almost with en-
thusiaSm

SWEET MILK.-The Sacramento Reporter
tells US hoV to keep milk sweet First take
a pan and subsequently pour therein water,
as circumstances may require. Place therein
an eartben jar. Within this jar place an
other earthen jar, filing the intermediate
space between the exterior of the inner and
the interior of the outer jar with sak. Into
the inner jar place your tin pail or other re>
ceptacle of milk. See that the pail is small
enough to admit the covering of the inner
jar, and that the latter is small enough to
admit of the covering of the outer jar. This
done you have always cold and sweet milk
at your service

Whatever Indifference we
affect to show for the good of mankind, ev-
cry one seeks for esteem, and believes him>
self worthy of it in proportion as he finds
himself generally esteemed he considers
the public suffrage as a surety for the high
opinion he has of himself The pretended
contempt, therefore, for reputation, and sac,
ri6ce said to be made of it to fortune and
reflection, is always inspired by the despair
of rendering ourselves illustriOus; we boast
of what we have, and despise what we have
not. This is the necessary effect of pride !;
and we should rebel against it were we not
its dupes,

SIDEWALK ETIQUETTE. Some one OF
our Chesterfeldian exchanges has the follow.
lug on sidewalk etiquette, which we com.
mend to the attention of our readers Only
villagers, or persons with rural ideas, any
longer contend that ladies should always be
given the inside of the pavement in passing.
The rule adopted in all cities is to turn to
the right, whether the right lead to the wall
or the gutter; and an observance OF this
common sense rule would obviate much un-
pleasant "scrouging" by over gallant gentle
men who persistently crowd for the outside
Of the walk Another common custom, not
required by fashionable etiquette, and one
which is as nearly as unexplainably absurd,
is the practice of men fling out of IA church
pew, making themselves as ridiculous as an
awkward squad practising a catch step,
in order to give a woman the wrong end Of
the pew. Another is that of man, when
at promenade or walk with lady, to keep
himself on the outside of the pavement. A
little exercise of judgment will convince any
person of the perfect uselessness Of this bob
bing back and forth at every corner. The
common rule is this: If man and woman
are walking together, she should always be
at his right arm, whether it be toward the
inside or the outside of the walk then the
woman will not be showed against the pass
ers. Those who giggle at persons who fol-
low this rule are themselves the "greenies," t"
and should read the book of manners before
they indulge in the laugh Of fashionable fools.

AIRING RooMs.-It is a common mistake
NO open all the lower part Of the windows ol
an apartment whereas, if the upper part
also, were opened, the object would be more
speedily effected. Thus, the air in an apart.
ment is generally heated to a higher temper
ature then the external air, either by the
heat supplied by the human body, or by
lamps, candles or fires. This renders it light
er than the external air; and, consequently,
the external air will rush in at all openings
at the lower part of the room, while the
warmer and lighter air passes out the higher
openings. If q candle be held in the door
way near the door, it will be found that the
fame will be blown inwards but, if it be
raised near the top of the doorway it will be
blown outWards. The warm air, in this
case, flows out at the top, while cold ar
flows in at the bottom. A current of warm
air from the room is generally rushing mp
the fue of the chimney, if the fue be open.
even thou Zh there shold be no fire lighted
in the stove hence the unwholesomeness OF
using chimney boards.

POETRY, Music, AND PAINTING
breathes a charm over the cold realities of
life and imparts brilliant coloring to every
object that surrounds us, and an interest to
the most trivial incidents that occur. Seen
through her golden medium, earth is para
disc and love is heaven. Music etheriaIises
humanity and lifts the soul to its original
sphere; with a powerful army hand she
strikes the sensitive cords of memory, awak,
ening alike the thrilling recollection ofform-
er enjoyments, or the mournful remembrance
of past sorrow. But painting possesses the
power of an nchantress-beneath her magic
pencil spring those forms which are endeared
to us by love, or endeared sacred by esteem
and reverence. Over these cherished shad,
ows death has no poweri We wear them
in our bosoms, We place them in our closets,
and enjoy with sweet and holy commun,
ion in our hours of retirement. As relics
Of those who sleep in the dust they seem
to confer with US in the language Of other
years and while we remember some useful
precept of friendly monition which once
passed their lips, we regard them as benig-
nant spirits still lowering in our paths, to
remind as of our duty, and that we are also
imperishabie.,

SEEKING OFPIcE.-See what miserable
looking, whining sneak the Office seeker is
his every feature pinched up to its most OBJ
sequious tension. As Betsy Trotwood says
OF 'umble Mister Heep, he is twisted into
a corkscreW with the profundity of his de-
termination to worm himself into the favor
of the man in Office, and to whom he applies
himself with the teDacity of leech, and the
intentions of the vampire. How low must
his nature be when it consents to humor the
high sounding vulgarity of the man in. But
then he has no nature, any more than worm.
He bends beneath the load of letters of in
PRODUCTION, genteel characters of himself be
has begged, yet steps as lightly as cat after
mouse, lest the noise of his foot fall would
rutie the already rough temper of his expec-
ted benefactor. He is the most obliging man
in the world, is the Office seeker. There is
nothing be will not do to ingratiate himself.
His hand looks as though it nervously grasped
a shoe brush, ready top polish the understand
ing of the great man. His eye rolls anx-
iously about for something to do, wh ich may
be pleasing to the load star His tongue has
a ready echo for the great gun. His whole
bearing is an acquiescent identity with the
whims, the eccentricities and vulgarities of
the Juggernaut that uses him aud treads on
him without compassion. Serves him right
he is willing sacrifice, and is only fit to
be whitfield out of existence.

SONG THEY SING IN MICHIGAN.

Not drum was heard, nor funeral note,
As his corpse to oblivion we hurried,
Not groan escaped q radical throat,
When Negro Suffrage we buried.
We buried him deep in the Michigan soil
So deep that they ne'er will uncover him.
Unless some radical BORING for oil
By the dearly loved scent discovers him.
His coffin was made Of a bAllot-box-
With white mems ballots we bound him
He looked like baboon taking his rest.
With Posts and Tfi6unss around him.
Few and short were the speeches we made.
And we sung not doleful ditty
But bis body and spirit together we laid

TRIFLEs.-TO pursue triAes is the lot of
humanity; and whether we hustle in PAN
tomime, or strut at coronation; whether
we shout at bonfire, or harangue in SEN
ate house; whatever object we follow, it
will at last surely conduct us to futility and
disappointment. The wise hustle and laugh
as they walk in the pageant, but fools hustle
and are important; and this, probably, is all
the Difference between them.

Observation-Disclosures has commit.
ted SO many forgeries on the firm of delicacy,
that this poor virtue is nearly reduced to a
state of bankruptcy. Familiarity inevitably
destroys delicacy. Perhaps this is the reason
why the society of strangers is sometimes
more agreeable than that Of our most inti-
mate relatives. Delicacy respects the feel
ings of everybody. Il not only abstains from
WOunding the sensibilities of modest wo-
man, but even from triAing with the fancies
of nervous hypOchondriac. Human life is
full of so many grossnesses, each of which
gives fresh wound to delicacy, that at length
she expires under repeated blows. At 10,
our feelings are in their most sensitive state;
at 80, We regard with indifference things
which in younger and purer years would
nave annoyed US exceedingly; at so, our
beauty and our delicacy are both withering
together-it is but paint for the former, and
affection for the latter and, in our old age,
10 ind those emotions of the soul, would be
as wonderful as to meet smooth and rosy
complexion. To a certain degree, delieacy
Is Is virtue; let it get step beyond, aud It
becomes the most childish imbecility.
