RIVER OF LIFE.


There is pure and tranquil wave.
That rolls around the throne of Love.
Whose waters gladden. As they lave
The peaceful shores above.
While streams which on that tide depend
Steal from those heas enly shores away,
And on this desert world descend
Ger weary lands to strays
The pilgrim faint. aud nigh to sink
Beneath his load of earthly woe,
Refresh'd beside their verdant brink
Rejoices in their flow
There, o my soul, do thou repair,
Aud hover o'er the hallowed spring.
To drink ( the crystal wave, and thero
To lave thy wcaried wing!
There droop that wing, when far it fiies
From human care, and toll and strife,
And feed by those still streams. that riso
Beneath the Tree Of Lifei
It may be that the breath oflove
Some leaves on their pure tide have driven.
Which. passing from the shores above,
Havs floate ed down from heaven
So shall thy wounds and woes be healed.
By the blest virtue that they bring;
So thy parch'd lips sha II be unsealed

MADE HIM PAY.-When General jack
son was President, heartless clerk in the
Treasury Department ran up an indeptedness
with a poor laudlady to $50, and then turned
her off as he did other creditors. She finally
went to the President with her complaint, and
asked him if he could not compel the clerk
"He offers his note," she said, "bu. his
note is good for nothing"
"said tho President" "Get his note ard
bring it to me-"
The clerk gave her the note, with the jeer-
ing request that ''she would let him know
when she got the money on it."
Taking it to the President he wrote CAM
drew Jackson" on the back of it, and told
her she would get the money at the bank.
When it became due the clerk refused to
pay the note. but when ne learned who was
the endorser, he made haste to "raise the
wind" The next morning he found note
on his desk, saying that his services were no
longer required by the government-aud it
served him right.
