The Elasksmi,h's Pretty Daughter.

Why do the horses come always at noon
10 be shod at the blacksmith's shopl
At monday time, when the sun is still,
when the blacksmith is forced against his will
To rest and his work to stop?
Just at noon, from his house on the hill,
girl with pail comes thence;
Smiles come on her lips, on her cheeks glow
As she sees the horses tied in row,
Along by the blacksm1th's fence
Oh, but the blacksmith's daughter is fair
And the horses all look at each other,
As much as to say, - Now isn't she sweet ?''
We know why our masters say that our feet
Are giving them 50 much bother -
he bells ring one ; and the blacksmith cries.
"Now, then, for work right away -
But most of them say that it's growing late,
And they really think that they'd better wait,
And come on some other day.
Oh, blacksmith's daughter, your mother, too,
Was fair when your father sought her
You're going in the way that she has tTod,
You'll be wife ere those horses are shod,-
o blacksmith's pretty daughter

FOREIGN CLIPPINGS,

- A lew months ago the Bishop of Periguena,
france, was informed by a respectable family Of
that city that the cure of their parish had, by the
guilty articles, succeeded in seducing their daugh
ter, and not willing to make their shame public,
they merely asked for his removal. On the Sun
day following the Bishop assembled the pulpit,
and representing the complainants as calumnia-
tors, and promoted the priest to a higher rank.
The family thus treated, and seeing the matter
made public against their own inclination,
brought in a regular complaint before the Grim
inal court. The trial took place in February
last with closed doors, and the priest, found
guilty by the jury. was condemned to twelve
years hard labor
