POETRY.
THE OLD AND THE YOUNG.

BY ELBERT 8. PORTER.
Old Farmer Oakham one fine summer morn,
Went out to his field to hoe his corn,
And Joseph his son went along;
They twain crossed a meadow wet with the dew
That sparkled on grass and buttercups too,
And walked up the blue-bird's glad song
If Oakham was old, his boy was yet young,
But both were alike in that each had tongue
That mated the other right well
In fondness for going, though each went Its
And the two ways they went were asunder that
AS straightly now shall tell.
"I think that by noon we shall make twenty
The weeds are not high and sharp are our hoes, -
Said the sire to Joe at his side;
Her eyes are as blue as tn violet's hue,
And her lips are as sweet as her kisses are true,
Said the boy with bushing pride.
7'What stuff is that you are muttering Row ?"
Asked the father at once with frown1ng brow;
''You are not thinking of the cornl'
"When evening shall come, then with lively
will seek once more her beautiful face,''
Whisper'd d Joe, by hope upborne.
''The corn we shall cut when autumn comes
back,
Said Oakham the elder aloud
She'll be mine in tn fall, she told me that
much,
w men nef TOse-reu lips bHe Ieb NE bOuCu
Said Joe with his eyes in a cloud.
90 Your wits If you have them yet are a-jerk,
SO gather 'em up, and be ready for work,
We're over the meadow at last. -
"Yesi 1 will Yesl will !" spake tn youth
with stare.
SO While you work for corn, I'll work on q fare
That serv'd you time in the past.
81 shall work. q song in my heart to cheer,
A hope that shall bring me future dear,
When Nancy shall be nay bride.
The old work for gain, but the young for love,
A love thar is fix d as tn heavens above
And will never be set aside.''
''Oh! now see, - said the father, {" that you
Have heart like this meadow soak'd with dew,
Or bird with its morning song;
It's tn way of th' world, since first Adam and
Eve
In wedlock were joined, do believed
Now put in your hoe sharp and strong"
Hearth and Home.

thread was drawn upon until it escaped
from the cutaneous surface of the lid, it
drew the vicious hair in the same direction,
leaving it still attached to its hair bulb
this being specially important drawn
completely through the free border of the
lid in passage made for it by the needle,
the point of the hair sticking out in front
through the needle puncture. The ration
ale of this operation is that the hair drawn
through the lid will, by constant traction
in its growth, change the position of the
hair bulb, and in this way correct the wild
direction which it formerly took.

The removal Of ice from the st. Law
renee River in the spring by the use OF
nitro-glycerine is proposed. The method
suggested is to plant the explosive all over
the river bottom, having wires connected
with the charges by which all would be
exploded simultaneously by galvanic bat
terry. The charges would be plaNted be-
fore the ice formed, in order to avoid the
necessity for making holes.

LONGINGs.

., sometimes, as lies busy throng
We mingle with, in veal or woe,
Our hearts receive a beamng glow
OF feelings, as when life was young
We see old visions OF romance
Like sunlit hills DER waters wide;
And thoughts fly back across the tIde.
To charms beyond the far eXpanse.
There midst departed joys we roam;
There life again is fresh and fair;
And primal ongings gather there
Like buoyant children Fastening home.
But alb these angel visits, few

From crowds and cares they glide away
And leaves us with a mute adieu.
And we are sad as they depart;
Yet let them come. nor blight their st@5

Herbert Spencer asserts that intelli-
gence does not lessen nor ignorance in
crease crime. He has manifestly over
looked the statement of another phil
osopher, who held that intelligence in
creases crime. and cited in proof an in
nocent tribe of barbarians in the interior
of Africa who knew OF none of the vices
of civilization until they were visited
and instructed by European missionaries.
The argument Of both is to the point that
. when ignorance is bliss It's folly to be
wise. But, then that lesson was taught
in Paradise, and Adam and Eve-il
thought there would be more variety in
folly than blissful ignorance.
