A Mississippi editor iadited the
following lines:
I'd swear for her-I'd tear for her,
The Lord knows what I'd bear for
I'd lie for her. I'd sigh for her,
I'd drink a g grocery dry for her:
I'd cuss" for her, do I" Wuss' sor her.
I'd kick up q thiTndeFing fuss for her ;
J. weep for her, I'd leap Tor her,
I'D 60 without sleep for hers
I'D fight for her, I'd bite for her,
I'd walk the streets all night for her /.
i plead for her, I'd bleed for her,
I'D go without my "feed" for her;
I'd shoot for Der, I'D boot for her.
A rival who'd come to suit for hers
I'd kneei for her, I'd steal for her,
Such Is the love feel for her;
I'd slide for her, I'd ride for her,
I'D swim 'gainst wind and tide for
her;
I'D try fer her I'd cry for her.
But hang me If I'd DIX fer her.

To-day we Live, Is liefgow We q ie J
Languid Winter has dropped into
fairy Spring. This Is the season OF
all things lovely and pleasing, Of pur-
ling streams, of the warbiing birds.
Of leafy trees. Of daisied medows. oi
beauties cheering bloom and sweet
perfume. To the eyes gaze all fs
beautiful aad charming.
Beautiful Spring, alasl mnst soon
expire, and Summer be ushcred in to
play its brief part upon the stage OF
time. and, though the birds still var
ole their joyous notes. the flowers
continue TO bloom. the tree Eetainsiits
foliage and the gurgling voice ofthe
streamlet IS still heard set there is
not so much Of Natures beauty and
loneliness in earth and sky; and that
balmy and refreshing breeze which
characterized the preceding season
is ganting.
It's suaocating heat and stifing
dust naturally prepare us to wei
come, with inexpressibIe delight
that irresistably charming, though
melancholy season, in which the
Emerald dyes of Summer are chang d
into the golden, crimson and rnsses
hues of Autumn.
As we look round on her gorgeous
robe, a strange sensation, one Of
mingled jos and Sadness peryades
the mind, for we know it is but the
herald Of the naked bough, the leaf
less tree; and fancy pictures the
stamp Of decay written on every
leaf Then comes the sadening
thought that we too are verging To-
ward the Autumn Of life.
AT length the trees ara. stripped Of
their foliage, che birds have left their
boughs, the gurgling voice Of the
streamlet is hushed, stemmed by the
falling, decaying leaves. Autumn
dropped into Winter. Beauty seems
to have LEFT the earth, save when ar
rayed in robe OF heecy snow, and
pendant icles, here again we sur
vey earth with an anxious gaze and
Oxclaim how beautiful even is Win
ter.
Thus that the eye of man, which
seeks variety, might not be wearied
by monOtony. has the Creator, in his
Infinite Wisdom and Goodness di-
yided into four Seasons, each alter
nately diversifying the earth with
It's peculiar charms. There IS a
wider range for this subject opening
ont to my mind which I can scarce
ly resist the temptation to enter. A
few more words may be suggestive
and your readers may enlarge for
themselves.
The subject under consideration
is very suggestive Of the traEsatorY
existance Of ali things. Man, the
noblest work of God, is but the
creature Of a moment To-day ne
lives and fiourishes, tomorrow lac is
not.
The beautiful flower, which this
morning lent its sweetness to the
surrounding air, now hangs pale and
withered from its parent stem, Is a
fit emblem Of that faiu. young child,

to his agent in London to be sold afor

Green, lifting her hands from the mould

room, her checks glowing and her eyes
sparkling with excitement. "Where on
airth have you been tew? l could have
made a house while you have been doing
that arrurt."
Only think, mother! I've just seen the
Simond girls, and they say that the acad-
emy is almost fnished,E and that school
will commence carly in September"
"Ncll, what Of itY' rctortcd Mrs.
Green, with vigorous flourish OF the
rolling-pin.
'Do you think father will let me go ?'
"Go where?" inquired Mrs. Green, ii !

and desires were narrowed down to the
boundaries Of his farm.
1t was difficult to perceive where IIet-

You uscditoilove me once, fathcr,
And we ,hnd bread 10 eat;
Mamma and | were warmly clad;
And life seemed very sweet.
You never spoke unkiEdly then,
Or dealt the angry blow;
80, fa,l,er dear, lis sad to think
That rum hath changed you SO.
Ianot be angry now, father,
because tell you this,
But let me feel upon my brow,
Once more thy loving kiss;
And promise me those lips no more,
With drink shall be defled,
That from life of want and woe,
Thou'it save thy weeping child.
