OUR CHILDHOOD.
sr onoaen ,. ransrlcs.

~ BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
IT'S sad, yet sweet, to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well;
To gaze out ON the even, ~
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish
: To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams Of gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the toub of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
In tie happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed SO formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this
Whose dark, soft eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Ger brows so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring-time of the year
Aihe the cnangeiul CLEANS OF april,
They follow every tear.
They have passed-like hopes-away,
n And their loveliness has fled
Oil many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet, OIL it is lovely death
To fade from earth like them
And yet the thought is sad ming,
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away;
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like the tendril of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And we can but think of these,
In soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us,
And the flowers are blossoming;
And we know that winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die

ened, food is enjoyed the stomach digests pro-
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-

D. +. BURTON.
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. Jan. Goth 1852
"The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches TO which many 9TH
er machines are liable, and which has hitherto
brought the "chan stitch into disrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements, and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running at the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
a great recommendation to it. Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in
terchangeable, so that in the event ofaccident to
the machine, any part can be replaced, at tr-
fling cost 1t is, indeed a mechanical wonder
"a household necessity ~

truthful in all the past-could it be possible
that she was a confirmed liar Necessity

her heart and | may add, it almost broke
mine also.
Yet Mary was innocent After events
proved that the negro was the thief She had
conjured up the story Of the garret, knowing
that Mary would not deny having been there I;
and to make the circumstances stronger
against her, had strcwn apple-rinds on the
floor never think of the event without
tears But Il has taught me a useful lesson
and that is, never to threaten child into a
lie, when it may be he is telling the truth.
The only lie | over knew Mary to tell me, |

Hit ii Fair in the Eye, Boys.

One day there was a great humping in my
cellar, and if you had gone down there, you
would have seen that one Of the windows had
been opened, and that sticks Of wood, some
square and some round, some three-cornercd,
big aud little, kuotty and clear, all sawn the
right length for the stoye were pouring
through the window and every stick as it
came down seemed to say, Stand clear, or
you'll get hurt" So ! stood clear, and let
the workers have it all their own way
| suppose the one who sent it thought that
splitting it would be good exercise for the
minister, aud he thought so too. So | went
at it. But pretty soon big stick turned up
full Of hard knots on every side. fancied
that one Of those knots looked like an eye,
and that it kept watching me as | picked up
one stick after another, and left it untouched.
Ia fact, it almost seemed to say, Split little
sticks if you have mind to, but dare you
to touch mo-"
1t was great annoyance to see it there
every day but the question was how to get
rid of 1t. 1t was too good to be thrown
away, and too big to be put in the stove
My only course was to try and split it. So
Que day when l felt strong in my bones, |
laid it on the block with the eye up. Then
putting all my strength into my arms, | sent
my axe fair across the eye, and through it
went
To my surprise, the old stick split more
easily than many others before it. And then
could not help thinking how true this is all
through life, How often do boys and men
fancy that some duty is very hard and work
all around it, and fear to touch it, hanging
back until they can do so no longer, and then
make good effort and find that it is really
easy and that they have had all their trouble
some fears for nothing.

you have any work to do, don't stop to
think how hard it is, but take hold at once
brayely hit it fair in the eye, and, ten to
one, you will be through before you know it.
