How old am I'm eighty years
I've worked both hard and long,
Vet patient as my life has been,
One dearest sight have not seen
1t almost seems wrong;
A dream I had when life was new,
Alas, our dreams they are not true
I thought to see fair Carcassonne
That lovely city Carcassonne
OAe sees it dimly from the height,
Beyond the mountains blue,
Fain would I walk five weary leagues
I do not mind the roads fatigues-
Through m orn and EVENINGS dew.
But bitter frosts would fall at night,
And ON the grapes-tRat yellow blight
I could not 60 to Carcassonne,
I never went to Carcassonne.
They say it is as gay all times
AS holidays at home !
The gentles ride in gay attire,
And in the sun each gilded spire
Shoots up like those of Rome
The Bishop the procession leads,
And Generals curb their prancing steeds.
Alas | know not Carcassonne,
Alas I know net CarcAssonne
Our Wears right he breaches loud,
And bids US to beware
lie says, "Oh guard the weakest part,
And most the traitor in the heart
Against Ambitions snare - ....-...-
Perhaps in autumn ] can find
Two sunny days with gentle wind,
| then could go to Carcassonne,
l. still could go to Carcassonne
Ny God and father pardon me ~
IL this, my wish, offends
One sees some hope, more high than he,
In age, as in his infancy.
To which his heart ascends
ny wife, my son have seen Narbonne,
MyErandson went to Perpignon
But have not seen Carcassonne,
But have not seen CarcassOnne.
Thus sighed peasant bent with age,
Half dreaming in his chair
I said, MY friend, come go with me,
To morrow, then, thine eyes shall see
Those streets that seem SO fair"
That night there came for passing soul
The church-bell's low and solemn toll
&c never saw gay Carcassonne.

A FATAL DIsEAsE-The strange and
very fatal disease known as "Bright's
disease" appears to be alarmingly on the
increase in this country, and in the city
of New York especially. 1t is only dur
ing the last three years that any accurate
statistics have been filled respecting this
disease, and these show, during that
period, that the ratio OF deaths from
Bright's disease as compared with the
total deaths from all other causes were: {:
In New York City, to 81; in Rochester,
to 70; and in Boston, SO. This shows
far greater proportion of the disease
here than in the Old World, where the
mortality returns for the same period
gave: In London, to 142; in Paris, only
l to 266. Although physicians have
hitherto been unable to discover any cure
for this terrible malady, when once firmly
established, they seem to have at least
been able to trace it to its direct causes,
and to have discovered that il is not only
durable in its earlier stages, but might be
avoided altogether by proper personal
care. The causes of it are said to be in
the excessive use of alcoholic drinks, and
in the very sudden climatic changes to
wbiob ua ora mora su ubiected here than
perhaps in any other quarter of the globe.
1t is at least of invaluable usefulness to
possess these facts, if it only teaches the
necessity of temperance in living, and the
great care to be observed in being always
warmly clad, and in being at all times
prepared to resist the sudden chills and
checks of perspiration to which we are so
perpetually subjected in this climate, at
all seasons Of the year.

ADA1NTY DIsH.-The most extraordi-
nary of all culinary recipes is the following
diaholical one given by Mizaid,in his How
to roast and eat goose alive" Take a
goose or duck. or some such live crea-
ture; pull of all her feathers-only the
head and neck must be spared then make
fire round about her-not too close to
her-that the fire do not couch her; with
in the circle of the fire let there be set
pots of water, wherein salt and honey are
mingled, and let there be also chargers full
of sodden apples cut into small pieces. The
goose must be all larded and basted over
with butter; to make her the more fit to
be eaten, and roast the better, put the fire
about her, but do not make too much haste
when you see her begin to roast, for by
walking about and flying here ard there,
being cooped in by the fire Chat stops her
way out, she will drink the water to
uuench her thirst and cool her heart and
all her body. The apple sauce will purge
and empty her, and when she roasteth
and consumeth nnwardly, always wet her
head and heart with wet sponge; and
when you see her eiddy with running and
begin to tumble, her heart wants moisture,
and she is roasted enough. Take her up
and set her before your guests, ana she
will cry out as you cut off any part of her,
and will be almost eaten before she is dead.
1t is mighty pleasant to behold. Mr..
Mizad probably stole this recipe from the
kitchen of his Internal Majesty. Perhaps
it was one of the dishes the devil ordered
on the advent of Nero and Caligula.

self. The master finding him more than
ever attentive to his work appointed him
as foreman, at an advanced rate of wages.
John began to say that he found it vast
ly more pleasant to receive f2 los week
for looking after men do the work than
30s for doing it,
Step by step he rose, until he became q
master himself; and instead of working,
he could afford to pay other men to look
after it and do it for him. He sent bis
son Tommy to first rate school, and in
due time he was apprenticed to doctor,
and is now practicipg as physician with
a good connection. The rest of the chill
dren have been we'll educated. He him
self has built nice row of houses, from
which he receives sufficient to keep HIM
without work the remainder of his days.
Now, in a handsome "Villa," which he
has lately had built, and fitted up with
everything to make it comfortable, he
may often be seen reclining in an easy
chair, viewing with evident satisfaction
and pleasure, through the drawing-room
window, a cherry tree, which he planted
with his-Own hands, and on which ne tor
some time past has been able to "grow
his own cherries" 1t was a pleasant
sight when, added to all this, he and his
wife became hearty supporters of the
"Grand Alliance" and the Temperance
cause and, by the blessing of God. con-
siStent members OF the Christian church.
Workingmer! the moral is soon told :
1t is not how much money a week you
earn, but what you do aOith it when you
get it How many home comforts. in the
shape of carpets, sofas, clothes, books,
boots and shoes, ETC., are lost by your
spending the money in the wrong way
and at the wrong shop.
If you learn nothing else by this tale Of
real life, you may learn this, that if you
wish to have a " Home, sweet home" you
must "BUY Your Own CHERRIEs!"

Kitty's Choice.

A wealthy old farmer was Absalom Lee,
He had but one daughter, the mischievous
Kitty;
So fair, and so good, and so gentle was she,
That lovers came wooing from country and
city;
The first and the boldest to ask for her hand
Was trimly-dressed dandy, who worshiped
her tin;
She replied, with smile he would well under
stand,
"That she'd marry no ape for the sake of his
skin!"
The next was merchant from business re-
tired,
Rich, gouty, and gruff a apresuming old sim
ner;
And thought to himself, 81 can easily win her. "
So he showed her his palace and made bluff
bow,
And said she might live there but wiekedly
then
Kitty told him she'd long ago made rash VOW
"Not to marry bear for the sake of his denl''
A miser came next he was fearless and bold
In claiming DIS rlSnI 10 ldH hlIIy aA0S'AVh
He said she'd not want for house while his
gold
Could pay for cabin to give her protection.
Half vexed at his boldness, but calm IN trlce,
She curts;ed and thanked him, and blushing-
" then
Demurely repeated her sage aunt's advice,
"Not to marry hog for the sake OF his
penl'
The next was farmer, young, bashful and shy;
He feared the bold wooers from the CITY;
But the flush on his cheek and the light in his
eye
Soon kndled fame in the bosom OF Kitty.
"My life will be one of hard labor, he said,
"But darling, come share it with me, if you
can"
"I suppose" she replied, gaily tossing her
head,
Unjust marry the farm fer the sake Of the
man.
