Poetry.
BY JOHN a. WHITTIER.


Who, looking back from manhood's prime,
Sees not the spectre Of his misspent time
And, through the shade
Offuneral cypress planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachful whisper on the wind,
From his loved dead7
Who bears no trace of PASSIONS evil force :!
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remorse!
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of his memory's book ;
At times, a sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful of the past
Alas the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wish 'd-fer good undone
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall
Poor, blind, improbable servants all
Are We always,
Yet who thus looking backward DER his years
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears,
II be hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid in some ennobling cause,
His fellow men
If he hath hidden the out-cast, or let in
ray of sunshine to the cell of sin
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and in an hour of need,
Over the suffering, mildless of his creed
Or home, hath bent
He has not lived in vain. And while he gives
The praise to him in whom he moves and lives
With thankful heart
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works he neverm0re
Can henceforth part.

In announcing that it would observe
Thanksgiving day by suspending publica-
ton, the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph comforts
its readers in the following style: "Let us
maintain cheerful composure and grateful
hearts that affairs are no worse with US than
they are. Some old grumbler will ask,
How could they be worse ? Shut up. you
old Turk, and we will tell you. If you
were in one of those northwestern States,
with your shops, mills, house, furniture,
clothing, provisions, all burned up, half Of
your family destroyed, and you with your
hair singed off, your right arm burned to a
crisp, your back in blister, and lying in
the snow without blankets, and the mercury
thirty degrees below zero, you would be in
a worse condition than you are now"

I married widow who had grown-up
daughter. My father visited our house
very often, and fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So my father
became my son-in-law, and my step-daugh-
ter my mother, because she was my fathers
wife Some time afterward, my wife had a
son he was my fathers brother.in-law and
my uncle. for he was the brother Of my step
daughter. My fathers wife,. O., my
step-daughter-had also son he was, of
course, by brother and in the meantime ny
grandchlld, for he was the son Of my dau III
ter. My wife was my grandmother. be-
cause she was my mothers mother. l was
my wife's husband and grandchild at the
same time. And as the husband of per
sons grandmother is his grandfather, I was

it, and keep it. week, and charge him
six dollars, what per cent. do I make? We
have been figuring, and make it 900 per

How much do you say it would be at six
dollars p "Well," said the general. Il
do not wonder at your perplexity. for
it is we'll known, and the celebrated Bah
bage calculating machine has demonstrated,
that at certain points in progressive num-

this case the law would change, and long
before it would reach the six dollars, it
would run out of per cent, and into what

A GAINESVILLE (Wis.) alderman is out
with novel theory, designed to give aid
and comfort to the temperance cause. He
proposes to grant license to both sellers aud
drinkers. His idea is to grant saloon
license for ten dollars, and every man who
drinks must obtain licence at cost of ten
dollars before he can get drink of liquor.
To obtain drinking license man must, Of

liable for any damage done by him while in
