No Mere.

No Hlore-it is a harp's low tone
Whispering of light and pleasure gone;
No more-it is broken lutte,
A fading flower with blghted root.
No m0re-it is a nlurmuring rill
Whose waves will soon be hushcd-be still
But while they run keep chanting low
The hymn of all things here below.
No more-it is severed cord:
The breaking OF a plighted word;
An echo of the pulses beat,
Ere quiet are its fastening feet.
No mOre-it is shadow fed;
A haunting thought of loved and dead;
A cloud that h0Vers over earth;
A discOrd in each song of mirth.
No mOre-it is passing bell,
OF youth, and love, and life the knell;
4 cypress wreath, a pail, bier
The end of human life and fear.

Down with aEae Bs7se.

Q, the dust. the dust, the beautiful dust,
There's nothing around us so thoroughly cuss'd,
It sprinkles clothing, it reddens our eyes,
1t thickens the atmosphere, darkens the Skies
It whirlS through the air like bird on the wing,
It makes US all blue for the advent of spring;
1t fills up our hronchia1s and enters our ears,
Ana sends us home growing in sadness and tears.
20. why should the spirit of mortal be proud, p
When spirit and body are wrapped in clouds
They tell me, 'look up, and In Providence trust -
But how can one look through q volume of dust
am weary, exhausted, all covered with soil,
For u chance to breathe freely painfully toll ;
Ihave swalOed clear grit till I'm ready to bust
have all Want-Of this beautiful dust.

The Young NTOussache.

O, barber, spare that young mOustacle,
Touch not a single hair;
Your razor, brush, and other trash.
Must never venture there.
At last the bud has bursted out,
-. By much caressing taught,
Its frail young tetdrils-hoW they sprout!
Then, barber. touch it not!
Think Of the fair young girl whose lip
Was won't so oft to press
That budding mouth, its sweets to Sip
Oh! think of her distress!
'Tis unfiedged manhOOd's pride and Joy,
With tears and sighs twas brought,
Let no rude stroke its life destroy
Oh, barber, touch it not!

LOVE LIGHTENs LABOR.

A good wife rose from her bed one morn
And thought with nervous dread
or the piles of clothes to be washed, and more
Than a dozen mouths to be fed
There were the meals to get for the men In the
fields.
And the children to fix away
To school. ard the milk to be skinned and
churned
And all to be done that day.
It had rained in the night, and all the wood
Was as wet as wet could be;
There were puddings and pies to bake, besides
A loaf of cake for tea
And the day was hot, and ber aching head
Throbbed wcariy as she said
If maidens but knew what good wives know,
They would be in no haste to wed
'Jennie, what do you think I told Ben Brown -
Called the farmer from the well;
And flush crcpt up to his bronzcd brow,
And his eye half bashlully fell;
'lt was this" he said, and coming near,
lie smiled-and STOPPING down,
Kissed her check" Twas this that YOU were
the best
And the dearest wife in town.
The farmer went to the Geld, and the wife
In smiling and absent way,
Sang snatchcs of tender little songs
She'd not sung for many day,
And the pain in her head was gone, ana the
clothes
Were white as the foam of the sea;
Her bread was light, and butter was sweet,
And rs golden as it could be.
"Just think" the children all called in breath,
''Tom Wood has run off to sea!
lie wouldn't, know. If he only had
As happy home us We"
The night came down, and the good wife smiled
To herself rs she softly said,

consider that the mighty truth maybe seasona-
bly, spoken without maniiesting an uncomforta-
BILE amount Of vanity and ambition.
Just twenty years ago | began my business
career in this place-half my lifetime thus far
spent, have stood upon the floor Of our shop
day after day, and night after night, and applied
the sharp blue cleaning steel, and within that
elapse of time embraced by the mighty folds of
that eventGul period have shaved nearly every
body in the country (in common parlance) and
90 oblige the public interest we herein publicly
announce TO our patrons old and new that we
are ready to shave them all again three hundred
thousand times or more.
Come when you please, just IN tins is the max
im-we are always ready to. work, forenoon or
afternoon, to shave you, hair cut YOU, shampoo
