So hero our paths of life at last :
Divide-divcrge like delta'd Nile,
Which after desert dangers passed
OF many and many thousand mile,
As constant as a column stone,
Seeks out the sea divorced-alone.
What reeks il now whose was the shame?
But call il mine, for better used
Am to wrong aud cold disdain--
Can better bear to be accused
of all that bears the shape of shame
Than have you bear one touch of blanc.
know yours Is tho lighter heart
And yours the hopc of grauder need;
Yet did falter in my part?-
But there is weakness in defeat,
And had felt it's iron stride
While your young feet wcre yet untried.
Ny face is set for power and place
Ny soul is toned TO sullcn~ess-
Ny heart holds not one sign or trace
OF love, or trust, or tenderness;
But you--your years Of happiness--
God knows would not make them less.
But should you sometime read a sign
name among the princely few
While you are with your friends aud mine,
Then careless say to one or two,
ale once was minc-his smiies-his tears.
Were mine-were mine Cor years and years"
And yet 'twerc bat bootless strife;
l ran too swiftly up the hin
OF my uncheerful path oflife.
And wcaried soon God guiding still,
lie mado liFe's hilltop low. so low
eressed its summit leng ago.
Thus sooner than you would suppose
Some weary feet will end rcpose.
Aud you will come some summer eve.
When wheels the white moon on her track,
And hear the piaintise night bir,i grieve
Aud heed the erickeis clad in black,
Alone-not far-a little SPELL
And say, "well, yes, he loved me Well.'
And say, swell, res, mind me no~.
None we're 20 gently kind as he,
Aad yet this love was tame somehow.
1t was so truly true to me-,
wished bis patient love hati less
OF worship AMI Of tenderness"
f.I wish it still. for this aloue,
There comes keen reproaeh, or pain.
Or feeling dislike 70 own-

For they who did so much profess

Col keep you bcaut.f ana true;
Gol keep you pure. o very pure
God help you % endure and DO
The all he may demand Of you
Keep timc-frosts from your raven hair
And your glad heart without care.

WATER VERSUS LAND.-The commanders
of the war vessels of France seem to possess
the modern Napoleonic courage, and not the
true French valor of sixty years ago, as Is
evidenced by the late naval engagement of the
island of Cuba, between the French war yes
sci Bouyet and the PrussiaE gunbOat Meteor,
the former l20-hsrse power boat armed with
FIVE guns, and the latter OF 60-horse power and
carrying three guns. After two or three days
spent in maneuvering, they "locked horns "
just outside the marine league from the harbor
of Havana, the Frenchman commencing the
fight by firing several Ineffective shots at diff
ferent distances. Finally the Prussian turned
loose on him and after spirited little contest
Of half an hour, during which the Prussian had
some of his masts and rigging shot away. and
the Frenchman got his steam apparatus little
demoralized, the latter flung his sails to the
breeze and-ran square into the harbor. He
left his antagonist on the outside Of the league,
who soon followed, as he had nothing more 10
do, and at last accounts they were both in or
