The rooster stalks on the hangers ledge,
He has a tail like a scimetar's edge,
marshars plume on his afghan neck.
An admiraPs stride on his quarter deck.
Horules the roost and he walks the bay
With a dreadful cold and turkish way.
Two hroadsdes fires with his rapid wings
This sultan proud, ofa line Of kings
One gutteral laugh four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs in their woolen tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs;
A, @! I, 20! All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell,
And half-laugh whinny ills the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls.
A dove is Waiting around his mate
Two chcvrons black on his wings of slate,
And showing off with wooing note
The satin shine of his golden throat

In binding fine Of blue and gold
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
As they stripped the husks with rustling fold
From eight rowed corn as yellow as gold,
By the candle-light in the pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes.
In the quaint old lanterns tattoocd tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
BY the rarcr light in girllsh eyes
As dark as wells, or as bluo as skies.

The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed,
And l see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost of "Money Musk"

Wait face to face tall the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse Of The feet begin.

Two or three weeks PASSED away with
out the occurrence of any incident calu'a-
ted to excite uneasiuess 10 the heart OF
Julia. True. her husband was still the
cold, the ceremonious, and occasional y
the abrupt Mr.. Westhury he passed but
little, even of. his leisure time at home ;
and she had never met bis eye when II
expressed pleasure or even appreciation.
But he did not grow more cool. or more
ceremonious the time he spent at his
own freside rather increased than dhin.
isbed-and for all this she was thankful.
Her efforts to please we're unceaslng. Her
home was KEEP, in perfect order and every,
thing was done in time, and well done
Good taste and good judgement were dis
played in every arrangement.
Her table was always spread with good
care, aud if her husband partook of any
dish with peculiar relish, she was careful
to have it repeated, but at such intervals
as to crafty rather than cloy his appetite.
10 her dress she was peculiarly neat and
simple, carefully avoiding every article of
apparel that was tinctured with the "odl-
Gus color" She had naturally fine mind i,
which had the advantage of high cultiva-
ton; and without being obtrusive, or
aiming at display, she strove to be enter
tanning and companionable. Above all
she constantly endeavored to maintain a
placid. and cheerful brow, knowing that
nothing is so repnlsive as dlscontented,
frowning face. She felt that nothing was
unimportant that might either please or
dsplease her husband his heart was the
prize she was endeavoring to win; and
the happiness of her life depended on the
sentiments he should Ultimately en- ertain
toward her, Everything was done Dot
only properly but gracefully; and though
she never weared in her efforts, she would
ofteutimes sigh that they were so unsac-
cessful She sometimes feared that her
very anxiety to please blinded her as to
the best manner Of dong so.

quiet that Julia enjoyed, was the prosper

LITTLE GRAvEs.-Saercd places for
pure thoughts and holy meditations are
the little graves in the churcbyard. They
are the repositories Of the mothers sweet
est joy, half unfolded buds of innocence,
humanity ripped by the first frost of time,
ere yet canker worm of corruption has
nestled among its embryo petsls. Cal.
lous, indeed, must be the heart Of him who
can stand by little grave-sido and not
have the holisst emotions of the soul
awakened to thoughts of purity aud joy
which belong alone to God and Heaven,
for the mute preacher at his feet tells Of
life begun and ended without stain; and
surely if this he vouchsafed to mortality,
how much purer and holier must be the
spiritual land, enlightened by the sun Of
infinite goodnes, whence emanatcd the
soul Of that brief sojourner among us
How swells the heart Of the parent with
mournful joy while standing BY ths earth
bed of lost little ones? Mournful, be-
cause a sweet treasure has been taken
away--joyful, because that precious jewel
glitters in the diadem Of the Redeemer.

VINO USE LoNa WoRDs.-Big words
are great favorites with people of small
ideas and weak conceptions. They are
often employed by men of mind when they
use language that may best conceal their
thoughts. With few exceptions, however,
llliterate and half-educated persons use
more "big words" than people of thorough
education. Ut is very common but
egregious mistake to suppose that long
words are more genteels than short ones
just as the same sort of people imagine
high colors and fashy figures improve the
style of dress. They are the kind of folks
who don't begin, but always commence.
They don't go to bed, but mysteriously
"retire." They don't eat and drink, but
paitake of refreshments. They are
never sick, but 'extremely indisposed."
And instead Of dying, at last, they "de-
cease" The strcngth of the English lam
guage is in the short words chiefly mon
osylables of Saxon derivation-and peo-
pie who are IN earnest seldom use any
any other. Love. hate, anger, grief, joy,
express themselves in short words and de
rect sentences while cunning, falsehood
and affectation delight in whatHorace calls
verba sesquipedalia- words "a foot and
half long" 1afa
