"Peter Ailesford was my fathers

Qoshp
To rae Country


By WILLIAM CULLEN BRTAST.
Already, close by our summer dwelling,
The Easter sparrow repeats her song;
A merry warbler. she chides the blossoms
The idle blossoms that sleep SO long.
The blue-birl chants from the elm's long branehe
A hymn to welcome the budding year;
The south wind wanders from field to forest,
And soi,ly whispers, the Spring is here.
Come, daughter mine, from the gloomy city,
Before those lays from the elm have ceased;
The violet breathes by our door as swectly
As in the air Of her native East.
Though many flower in the wood is waking,
The daffodil is our door-side queen;
She pushes upward the sward already;
To spot with sunshine the early green.
No lays so Joyous as these are warbled
From wiry prison in msiden's bower;
No pampered bloom of the greenhouse chamber
Has half the charm of the lawns first flower,
Yet these sweet sounds of the early season,
And these fair sights Of its sunny days,
Are only sweet when we fondly listen,
And only fair when we fondly gaze.
There is no glory in star or blossom,
Till looked upon by loving eye;
There is no fragrance in April breezeS,
Till breathed with JOY as they wander by.
Come, Julia dear, for the sprouting willows,
The opening flowers and the cleaning brooks,
And hollows. green in the sun, are waiting
Their dover Of beauty from thy glad looks.

for their integrity, fidelity and.proud

A somewhat curious circumstance
lately took place in small parish
church in Scotland. The precentor,
after proclaiming the banns of mat
rimony between a young couple con-
cluded, as usual, by saying; "If there
be any objections, they can now be
stated" a rather simple looking
youth, an old admirer of the bride,
noticing the eyes of a portion of the
congregation fixed upon him, rose
up, exclaimed: 81 have no objection,
/ am sure" to the astonishment OIL
all about him, and resumed his seat
as if he had done a mere formal
piece of business,

Literal AnawaYa.

A lady noticed boy sprlnkllng salt
on the sidewalk to take of the ice,
and remarked to a friend, pointing
to the salt;
"Now, that's benevolence."
mo it ant" said the boy, some
what indignant, "it's salt"
So when a lady asked her servant
girl if the hired man cleaned off the
snow with alacrity, she replied;
"No, ma'am, he used a shovel"
The same literal turn of mind
which we have been illustrating is
sometimes used Intentionally and
perhaps a little maliciously, and
thus becomes the property of wit in
stead Of blunder. Thus we hear OF
very polite and impressive gentle
man who said to youth in the
street:
"Boy, may inquire where Robin
sons drug store isS"
certainly, sir" replied the boy,
very respectfully.
"Well, sir" said the gentleman,
after waiting awhile, where is itY'
II have not the least idea, your
honor" said the urchin.
There was another boy who was
'accosted by an ascetic middle aged
lady with;
dBov, I want to 90 to Dover
street"
Well ma'am," said the boy, "why
don't you 60 then?"
One day, at Lake George, a party
of gentlemen strolling among the
beautiful islands on the lake, with
bad luck, espied a little fellow with
red shirt and straw hat, dangling
a line over the side of a boat.
"Halloo, boy" said one of "then,
what are you doing?"
Fishing" came the answer,
"Wen, Of course" said the gentle
man, "but what do you catchP"
"Fish, you fool; what do you
s'pose?"
did any of you ever see an ele-
plants skim" inquired a teacher of
an infant class.
81 have" exclaimed one,
"Where?" asked the teacher.
"On the elephant" said the boy
laughing,
Sometimes this sort of wit degene-
rates or rises, as the case may be,
into punning, as when Flora pointed
passively to the heavy masses of
clouds in tue sky, saying:
81 wonder where those clouds are
going?" and her brother replied;
81 think they are going to thund-
er."
Also the following dialogues
"Halloo, therei low do you sell
your woodY"
"By the cord"
"How long has it been cut?"
-Four feet
Il mean how long has it been
SluCe you Cut lCl
mo longer than 1t is now"
And also when Patrick O'Flynn
was seen with his collar and his bo-
som sadly begrimmed and was in
asked by.his office:
"Patrick O'Flynn! how long do
you wear a shirt2'
''rwenty-eight inches, sir"
This reminds one of an instance
which is said to have occurred re-
Gently in Chatham street, New York,
where a countryman was clamorous-
ly besieged by a shopkeeper.
"Have you any fine shirts?" said
the countryman.
~ splended assortment. Step
in, sir. Every price and every style.
The cheapest in the market, sir"
Are they elean?"
''To be sure, sir
"Then," said the countryman, with
great gravity, you had better put
on one, for you need it.

a negro of Wilmington, N. c.
named John Cowan, was taken sick
some time since-he says he was
''coniured"-and when he emerged
from the sick room, a few days ago,
he had changed his color, his face
having become almost perfectly
white, whereas previously it was Of
very dark hue. The transforma-
ton was so great that even his most
intimate friends did not recognize
him. His hair had also changed
from a light to a dark color.
