UyDER THE CORN BLOssOEs.

| Full twenty glad and golden years are gone
Since in a strange, sWeet-smelling country dawn,
/ My little love and went hand in hand
Across Youths gold and rose-illumined iand'
/ The wild nastirtium glimmered, red and gay,
! And wOve a crimson network round our way,
As laughing, lettering Idly through the morn,
We plucked the bending blossoms Of the corn.
Blue were my little sweetheart's downbenteyes
Blue like the beauty OF the broad, bowed skies,
And in her cheeks, where dimples twain had
A raTered rose had exquisitely blown.
We caqght the fash Of many quick-winged
The Slim, long leaves by wandering airs we're
stirred,
And Of their touch a solemn tune was born
That echoed through the alleys Of the corn
Still on across that strange, still land We strayed
We dropped into the birch-woOds bordering
shades;
Afar we saw the blue corn-tassels toss;
About our feet soft swelled the cushioned moss.
Her golden hair about her face was blown;
The golden meadows round about US shOne,
As, laughing, lettering idly through the morn,
IwOve the gathered blossoms Of the corn.
Oh, golden day. brimful Of love and praisei
1t stands alone, the ancient Day or Days!
No other sky, no future flowers can be
As were the sky, the flowers, that day to me!
placed my wreath Of corn-fowers on her head,
And then some words Of tender troth said,
And then read my answer in her ewes
And kissed her lips, sweet with loves shyreplies.
HOmeWard We walked along the warm WOOd-Wayl
With spOrtiye laugh and jest our lips we're gay!
And when left her, lingering at her door,
About her brOWs my cOrn-hOWer wreath she WOrel
Thrice rose the moon! Thrice had the wan sun
set
When one mad morning, wild with wind and
wet,
Upon her grave, with many a sob f0rlOrn,
laid the Withered blossoms of the corn!

THE EXECUTIVES WHISKY,

What Did the President Drink at the
Lexington and Concord CeIeBra'
iOn2
The inquiry Of how much whisky
Gen. Grant and his party drank on the
occasion of his visit TO the Concord and
Lexington centennial promises to be an
interesting and disturbing question.
At a meeting Of the State Temperance
Alliance, IN Boston, presided over by
eX-GOT. Trask, a Mr.. II. D. Cushing
stirred up the meeting by Offering a
resolution that a committee be appoint
ed to ascertain and report whether
liquors were furnished by the State to
It's guests on the occasion Of the Lex
lngton and Concord centennial.
Mr.. Gushing explained that his rea-
son for Offering the resolution was the
fact that the newspapers have publish
cd bill from the Revere House, giving
as one Of the items IN the entertain
ment Of the President and party over
800 for wines and cigars. Mr.. Cush-
ing added, that he had 1t from the in
innate friends, not the enemies Of Pres
ident Grant, that there Is danger OF
Grants falling back into the condition
he was in preceding the war.
Mr.. Hodges said that when General
Sherman was entertained by the city
no liquors were furnished, and there
was a letter in existence from General
Sherman expressive Of his qualification
at that fact.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

The week is past, the Sabbath dawns come on
Rest-rest in peace-thy toll is done;
And standing, as thou standest, on the brink
OF new scene Of being, calmly think
Of what is gone, is now, and soon shall be,
As one that trembles in eternity,
For such as this now closing week Il past.
SO much advancing time VIII close my last,
Such as tomorrow shall the awful light
or the eternal morning hail my sight.
Sririt Of good on the weeks verge stand,
Tracing the guiding influence OF thy hand;
That hand which led me gently, calmly still,
Up LIES stormy, tIresOme, thOrny hill.
Thou, thou, in every storm hast sheltered me
Beneath the wing Of the benignity.
= thousand graves my footsteps circumvent,
And exist, thy mercy's monument;
A thousand wrlthe upon the bed Of pain,
live, and pleasure flows through every vein;
Want, Ger thousand Wretches. waves her wand
/, circied by ten thousand mercies, stand.
How can praise Thee, Father? how express
My debt Of reverence and thankfulness?
A debt thatnO intelligence can count,
While every moment sWells the vast amount.
For a weeks duties thou hast given me strength
And brought me TO its peaceful close at length
And here my grateful bosom fain would raise
A fresh memorial TO thy glorious praise.

There are a thousand eyes that neTersee
The ripple Of the long grass on the lea
Nor the bright blushing sunset, nor, more fair
The crescent queen that silyers all the air.
There are a thousand ears that never hear
The lisp of poplars when the wind is near,
Nor the sweet cadence Of the tinkling stream,
Nor the full choiTs that wake with mOrning'
beam.
They live, If life be life that Is but breath,
Where only their own living is not death.
There are thousand eyes that never see
The sunken cheek Of pale-eyed poverty.
Nor the wan fever or a famished Frame
Nor the dense air with pestilence afame.
There are thousand ears that never hear
The oeaseless dripping Of the mOurner's tear,
The wall that rises Ger the dearest dead,
Nor sadder still, the children's cry for bread.
They live where all is beautiful and bright.
Like flowers that blossom il a land Of light
Are rich and poor born of one race Of men?
Or does Gods hand divide the world again,
And, as He cuTbed the waters here and there,
Set by themselves the sad waves Of despair?
Nay, these two things do their like nature prove
That none can live bereft Of breath or love-
