BY the River.

I am sitting alone by the river,
And the willows are sweeping its brink
The shadows of twilight are falling,
As sit by the river and think.
The shadows of the twilight grow deeper
The river is fading from sight;
can see the gray willows no longer
And l am alone with the night.
In darkness and gloom, noble river,
Thou art noiseessly floating away;
)n darkness and gloom am floating,
And wither, Oeay do stray?
The learning Of Plato and Pascal
Is madly at work in my brain;
am satisfied about nothing
/ feel and reason ill vain.
Does justice exist Oh, where is it T.?
Still tho heart of tho tyrant is stone,
Still his victims are toilng, despairing
Still he heeds not. he hears not their moan
Ills vain that You tell me, hereafter
These things are not to be so;
We are only able to reason
From that which we see and we know. y
For centuries long have the curses
OF the heart-broken pierced to the skies
For centuries long has no answer
Returned to their desolate cries.
If call upon Nature for comfort.
1t is silent and grim as the grave
The winds will not stop at my question
No reply from the long sounding wave.
And the stars as they glitter above,
Pure and calm as the flakes Of the snow.
Look as cold on the sorrows of mortals
AS they looked in the years long ago.
Oh give me! oh give Inc my childhood,
The unquestioning faith that was there,
When knelt at tho feet Of my mother,
And gently she taught me my prayer
am sitting aloue by the river,
And the willows are sweeping its brink;
The twilight has deepened to midnight,
And I sit by the river and think.

innocent Rural Boys.

1t is mistaken idea to suppose that
the small boy Of the city is more
wicked than the rural lad +; that he is,
in fact, such a bette noi. that when
placed beside his country cousin, the
latter appears shining saint. Such
an opinion has obtained for all time,
and possibly will for all time to come.
But it is libel upon the children of
the street, aud has no foundation in
fact. We intend to explode this bub-
bic and have justice done to our gana-
ms. 1t is true that they are wicked,
and they play in the cutters, pick
pockets, 60 in swimming from the
pier heads, throw stones at each other,
break windows, steal mats, get up be
hind cabs. and perform many other
freaks of like nature. But is that any
reason why we should paint them with
the sombre brush of condemnation,
and pat the boys of the fields upon the
head, and hunt in our pockets for
pence to Eestow upon them? The
popular idea Of the rural boy is very
pretty as mental picture. He is in
dustrious, and carries his little hoe to the
field with which to touch up the sprout-
ing corn. He is studious to fault, and
it is a tayorite habit of his to sit up
all night and read Latin books Oh as
tronomy by the light of a pine torch.
We never witnessed this operation,
but have it on good authority that it
is looked at as the correct thing for
the country boy to do. No sluggard
is he; but when the first flush Grim
sons the eastern sky he bounds from
his bed, pulls on his jean trowsers
and rawhide boots and goes to work
in the stables, or at chopping wood.
In the winter he walks ten miles
through the snow to school, and draws
his little sister upon his sled. In time
he comes to own farm, then he
marries, builds church, becomes a
justice OF the peace, dies and is buried
IN the village churchyard "a hundred
dollar tombstone informing n passing
world, In very expensive manner, of
his many virtues. This is what the
country boy is supposed to be, but we
know the statement to be swindle.
AS we have often seen him, be was an
adapt in all sorts of mischief. He
could steal eggs, and then deny the
accusation with nerve that Schuyles
ColfaX might envy. Dog fights are
his delight q circus his heaven. To
get into the circus he will appropriate
money that was intended for the con-
version of some little heather boy;
and, that scheme failing, he will crawl
under the tent. 1t is grim satisfac-
ton to know that he is often punished
for this sin. In one instance the per-
forming elephant accidently stepped
on three little boys who were squirm-
ing in, and mashed them so that their
different parents were at a loss to tell
which was which, and so had to shake
their names up in a hat, and draw for
it. When such sad scenes are posi-
BILE, is it well to claim moral superiority
for the boy of the country?
