THE DAUGHTER.

The old man sits beside the lock,
Where all DAY drips the water;
The old wife, in her faded frOck,
Still knits and nOtS by the cottage clock,
But, ali, the little daughter!
I see no more her loving eyes,
| hear no more her low replies
Alas, alas, the daughter!
At dawn the birds begin TO sing,
And DER and DER the water
The swallow fits with winking wing;
The old folks wake with the waking Spring;
But, all, the little daughter!
No more to list the coOkOo's call
She rOams the woods of the Manor Hall
Alas, alas, the daughter!
Midsummer brought the young Earl back,
The lord of the woods and water;
He met her in the greenwood track
His ewes were wOndrous bold and black
All me, the little daughter!
He whispered 'Trust me, mine OWn!"
She wept, 81 live for thee alOnel"
Alas, alas, the daughter!
Slow moved the weary months to years;
AL lay dripped down the water;
The fathers heart was dull with fears,
The mothers ewes were dim with tears
Alb me, the little daughter!
Who is it meath the city's glare,
Looks up with wild, bewildered stare?-
Alas, alas, the daughterl
A night there eame-a night Of wroth--
The rain beat on the water,
The wind blew from the rushing North,
The cottage lights shOne freely forth
But, ah; the little daughter!
low in the dripping lock she lies,
With tangled hair and altered eyes
Alas, alas, the daughter!

And the well hard by, and the hillside spot
Where played in my infancy

Where the evening star above
Smiled gently mid the cloud with its tender

Down upon me and my love.

Near the brook meath the hawthorne tree;
Where she pledged her love and sealed it with

FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY
Ave, but wait, good wife, a minute;
/ have a first word to say:
Do you know what day to-day is?
Mother! tits our wedding day!
Just as now, we sat at supper,
When the guests had gone away;
You sat that side, sat this side,
Forty years ago to-day
Then what plaus we laid together;
What brave things l meant TO dol
Could we dream, to-day would find us
At this table-mC and YOU.
Better so, no doubt-and vet
Sometimes think cannot tell
Had our bOyS-ah, yes! l know dear;
Yes, He dOeth all things we'll.
Well, we've had our JOYS and sOrrOws;
Shared our smiles as well as tears;
And-tbe best of ALIVE had your
Faithf ul owe for forty years.
Poor we've been, but not fOrsaken;
Grief we've known, but never shame;
aFather, for Thy endless mercies,
Still we bless Thy holy namel"

LIFE.

LIFE
BY MARY B. DODGE.
Life is a rose, briar-burdened, yet sweet,
Blooming day;
Flinging its perfume like perfume to meet,
Wind-blown aWayl
Leaf after leaf spreads its blush to the air,
Kissed by the sun;
Deeper-hued growing, as joy makes it fair,
Loves guerdon won.
Leaf after leaf shrivels up from the heart,
Leaving it bare;
Color and fragrance and joy all depart,
None left to care.
Nay, the divine in it fingers there still,
Gods care In all;
Rose-leaves but drop at the beck of His will,
Fetters which thrall.
Up from its trammels the freed spirit wings
Higher to soar;
Altar immortal a pure essence filings,
Sweet, evermOre!

REMEEKBEK THY MOTHER.
Lead thy mother tenderly
Down LIES steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care:
Think-itwas her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireiess watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherish wen her faithful heart
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers gravel

raj OF the State, las returned from his recent
visit to Norfolk, to which city he Went i'll
the interest of immigration, and for the pur-
pose of awaiting the arrival of the steam
Ship Caspian, of the Allan line, between
Liverpool and Norfolk. The vessel arrived
there on Wednesday morning, having on
board about four hundred immigrants en-
routr for the North and West. About sixty
of these immigrants are to settle in Virginia,
while the rest departed with the steamer Tor
Baltimore so soon as her cargo destined ior
Norfolk had been discharged. General Rich
ardson states that Colonel Lamb deserves
great credit for the energy winch he
has exhibited in his connection with the es~
tabIiShment of this line of steamships, ar
irving in Norfolk twice monthly; but a.
there is no depot at Norfolk for Immigrants,
they are compelled to be exposed to all
sorts of weather while the vessel is disciarS-,-
inc her cargo Such at least is the case OF
those who design going to another State, but
who sr4ve at Norfolk by this line. The
Caspian remained at Norfolk only q few
hours. discharging her cargo, going thence
