TWO PICTURES OF THE RHINE.

The angel Peace her wings divine
Waved o'er the valley of the Rhine,
Tranced in golden calm.
Doves murmured in the greenwood shade,
drowsy plant the river made,
And heaverlier tunes the herd-bells PLAYED
Than chimes from Notre Dame.
The grain had caught golden CLINT
The grapes an opalescent tint
From Summers beams benign
And Cheerful Labor, glancing round
On field and vineyard, plenty crowned,
In fancy saw the ripe sheaves bound,
The clusters raining wine.
Not Tempe's vale, when Earth was Young
And Greece with shepherd music rung,
A lovelier scene could show
The dream-light of the Age of Gold
Seemed lingering soft on field and fold,
On cottage roof and turret bold,
On time worn crag aud ruin old,
Green grove and flowery knoll.
God what a change-'tis peace no more
War shakes, to-day. each Rhenish shore,
War blurs the Rhenish skies
The vineyards shrivel in his breath,
ana on the crimson plain beneath
Moved down by myriad handed Death
human harvest lies
Where are the Rhineland's proud chateaux P
Razed, lest their walls to Prussia's foes
Should transient shelter lend.
Whore are the herds for Provant slain:
The Peasants 2 In wars serted train
The crops The seed was sowed in vain;
With CORY clay they blend.

Know ye for what, for whom, We fall
This is Ambitions war

From which 'twere we'll the earth were freed
TO help Crowned Wrong to Glory's need
Alas heroic fools, ye bleed,

REWARDS OF FIDELITY.-Never for
sake a friend. When enemies gather
around, when sickness falls on tie heart
when the world is dark and cheerless-
is the time to try true friend. They
who turn from the scene prove that only
interest moves them. If you have a
friend who loves you, who has studied
your interest and happiness, be sure to
sustain him in adversely. Let him feel
that bis former kindness is appreciated,
and that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists
in the heart. They only deny lis worth
and power who never loved friend, or
labored to make friend happy.
