OVER TIE RIVER.

This beautiful poem, by an American writer,
Miss Priest, has commanded the admiration Of
all readers during the many rounds ithas made
Of the newspaper aud magazine press, the last
ten years. To those who have lost intimate
fricnds-And who has not 2--somc of the allu.
sions are ineEpressibly affecting. Many a
moistened eye will follow the lines.
Over the river they beckun to me,
Loved ones who've passed to the other side,
The CLEAN of their snowy robes see,
But their v0ices are lost in the dashng tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue ;
lie crossed In the twilight grey and cold.
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view,
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates OF the City we could not see;
Over the River, over the River,
My brother stands ready to welcome me.
Over the River the Boatman pale,
Carried another--tbo household pet;
Her bright curls waved in the gentle gale !;
Darling Minnie. see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark
We watched II glide from the silver sands,
Aud all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know that she Is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the River, the mystic River,
My childhood's idols are waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatnan cold and pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN of the snowy sail,
And 10 they have passed from our heart
They cross the stream and are gone for ave!
We cannot sunder the vail apart,
That hides from our vision the gates Of day:
We only know that their bark no more
Shall sail with ours on life's stormy sea,
Yet somehow hope ON the unseen shore
They watch and beckon and wait for me.
And ! sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill aud shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list to the sound Of the boatman's oar;
! shall watch for the CLEAN of the tapping
shall hear the boat as II gains the strand fsail
| shall pass from sight with the boaiinan pale,
To the better shore OF the spirit land;
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting b.,
When over the River, the peaceful River,
The angels of death shall carry mel

The following is the origin of the
expression "to make complete fasco:"
A German one day seeing blower
at his occupation, thought nothing could
be easier than glass blowing, and that
he could soon do it as well as the other.
He accordingly commenced operations
by blowing vigorously. but could only
produce sort of pear-shaped balloon
or little flask (fasco.) The second ut.
tempt had u similar result, and so ON
until faseo after fiasco had been made.
Hence arose the expression. which we
not unfrequently have occasion to use
when describing the result of our pri.
vate and public undertakings.
The ancients had magnifying iastru.
ments, such as concave mirrors, aud
globes Of glass filled with water. But

known until the end of the thirteenth.
or the commencement of tho fourteenth

origin of the use of the thistle rs the
national emblem Of Scotland
When the Danes invaded Scotland
they availed themselves OF the pitch

forces unawares. In approaching the
Scottish camp unobserved, marching
barefooted to prevent their tramp being
heard, one of the Danes trod upon a
large prickly thistle, aud the sharp cry
of pain which he instantly uttered
suddenly appraised the Scots of their
danger, who Immediately ran to their

A CHILD's LovE.-0ne Of the sweets
OF social intercourse is to feel that We
are loved by the little ones their man.
ilestations Of affection are so artlcss aud
,eal-lree from all the motives to show
affection which might influence those OF
ripper years. Love in children is like
the cheerful sunbeam, the gentle rill,
pure aud lucid, sweet and heavenly; an
influence that fans our cares away; and
we love to think we are remembered 10
those bosoms Of pure affection. Those
little sunny faces are flowers in life's
pathway; mark the attempts of the
little lispers to speak our names when
they meet us; what funny mistakes
they make; yet they all speak pure
affection. o could We, who have ar.
rived at ripper years, still preserve, com.
bined with maturity, the artIossness aud
simplicity Of our childhood, then we
should make those about US happy with

WHAT'S TRUMPs.

There are so many cards to play,
So many ways to chopsc,
In love and politics and war,
That forwarding our views
With ladies fair, with statesmen wise,
Or men Of lesser bumps,
Before we lead our strongest suits
IT'S well to know what's trumps.
Once, worshipping at beauty's shrine,
knelt in bondage sweet.
And breathed my VOWS with eagerness,
Aud offered at her feet
Ny soul, well stored with cupid's wealth.
A love cemented lump;
A king Of diamonds won the trick,
My heart was not trump.
Raving to see my rival win
Upon single rub,
As be had played the deuce with me,
! followed with a club
Two days within a station-hOuse,
Rejecting on my sin,
found, as others may have done,
Clubs very seldom win.
Grown wise BY sad experience,
ceased to deal with maids
shuified youthful follies ofI,
And turned up jack of spades;
Yet still find, as dust is scarce
And smaller grow the Jumps,
That though the spades an honest card,
1t is not always trumps.
Dnt 10 the world of outside show,
Wher Mammon rules the throng,
To ease the little joints Of life,
And smoothly pass along,
To find an Rntidote for care
And stern misfortune's bumps,
One card Is very sure to win
Diamonds are always trumps.

tie almost as strong as fraternal love-
Our joys and sorrows We're poured into
each others ears, and each received in
return congratulation or sympathy as
the case demanded There were no Sc
crets between us, But though VIC had
many little condolences, which were con-

so important as to require special con'

Being extremely bashful, he was in
great lear that his passion would become

oi'en assured me, he was certain that
MS love was hopeless.
The object OF his love, lucille Ray

principal merchant OF our little inland

rosy checks, deep blue eyes an elegant

stlnctlve modesty was well calculated to
dispel The hopes OF so bashiul lover.
