The Years.

Why do We heap huge mounds Of years
Before us and behind,
And scorn the little days that pass
Like angels on tho wlnd1
Each turning round email, rvcrt face,
As beautiful Gs near,
Bscausc II is so small facc
We will not sec IT clear.
And 20 it turns from us End goes
Away in sad disdain;
Though we could give our lives for It,
Itncycr comes again.

Miscellany.


with silent awe hail the sacred morn
Which slowly wakes while all the nelds are still;
soothing calm on every breeze is borne,
graver murmur gurgles from the rill,
And echo answers softer from the hill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn;
Tho skylark warbcs in tone less shrill.
Hail! light sorene hnil Sabbath morn.
The rocks float silently by, In airy drove;
The sun placid yellow lustre shows;
The gales that lately sighed along the grove
Have hushed their downy wings in sweet rcpoae;
The lowering rack Of clouds forget 10 move.
SO smiled the day when the FIRST man arose.

Lord, many times am aSeary quito
OF mine own self my sin, my vanity;
Yet be not thou, or l am lost outright,
Weary Of me-
And hate against myself l often bear,
And enter with myself in fierce debated
Take thou my part against myself, nor share
In that just hate.
Beet friends might loahe u.s. II what things peryerso
We know Of our own selves they also knew;
Lord, Holy Onc II thou who knowcst worse
Shouldst loathe us too!

Reconstruction.
In wagon made Of willow,
Wheeled / once little maiden,
RingleiS shining on the pillow,
Rolling homoward treasure ladca,
Like boat upon .he billow.
Ten years fed. All, how missed her,
when We left the village school!
Du. she said she'd be my sister
As we fingered by the pool,
Aud passionately kissed her.
Ten more frttting years renew IL;
Little wagon made Of willow;
Loving eyes are bent TO view IL;
Loving hands adjust the pillow,
And we've fitted rockers to 4.

Beside sandal tree a woodnan stood
And swung the axe, and as the strokes were laid
Upon the fragrant trunk, the generous wood
With it's own sweets perfumed the cruel blade.

Aud good for evil give, and love for hate.

How to Knew the Age of a Horse.

The colt is born with twelve grinders :;
when four front teeth have made their
appearance, the colt IS twelve days old,
and when the next four comes forth it is
four weeks old. Vixen the corner teeth
appear, the colt is eight months old !;
when the latter have attained to the height
of the front teeth, it is one year DID, The
two year old colt has the kernel (the sub
stance in the middle of the tooth's CROWN
ground out in all the front teeth. In the
third year the middle front teeth are being
shifted, and when three years old, these
are substituted by the horse teeth. The
next four teeth are shifted in the fourth
year, and the corner teeth in the fifth At
six years, the kernel is worn out of the
lower middle front teeth, and the bride
teeth have now attained to their full
growth. At seven years, hook has been
formed in the corner teeth Of the UPPER
jaw, the kernel of the teeth next at the
middle is worn out, and the bride teeth
begin to wear off. At eight years the
kernel is worn out Of the lower front teeth
and begins to decrease in the middle upper
front. In the rinth year, the kernel has
wholly disappeared from the upper middle
front teeth /; the hook on the corner has in
creased In size, and the bridle-teeth lose
their points. In the tenth year the kernel
is worn out of the teeth next to the middle
front Of the upper jaw and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth Of the same jaw. At
twelve years old the crown of all the front
teeth in the lower jaw has become triangu-
lar, and the bride teeth are much worn
down. As the horse advance iu age, the
gums shrink away from the teeth, which
consequently receive a long, narrow ap-
pearance, and their kernels have become
metamorphosed into darkish point, gray
hairs increase in the forehead and over the
eyes, and the chin assumes the form Of an
angle.-Journal Of the Farm.

Montclair in their employ canvassing for

swcr was "No, we know of nobody by

The telegram was shown to the wifs
who then fully believed that the woman
was q heartless blackmaiier. She must
have left the city either the same night or
early the next morning as she has not been
seen or heard Of since then. It has been
ascertained, however, that Mrs Montclair
got away with quite . sum of money and
that she was successful in levying black
mail upon at least two married men who
say that they gave her money just to shut
her mouth and get rid of her Happily

Valuable Receivership.

4 decidedly novel case came the other
day for adjudication before Judge Curtis,
holding Court in the city Of New York
Edw. j. Miller, eolored gentleman, was
charged with weakness Of purchasing
goods with great facility but as being re-
markably lax in his payments. 1t was sta
ted that during the last eight months he
has been confined in Ludlow Street Jail no
less than FIVE times This thing got to be
rather monotonous with Miller, and wea-
rying of his imprisonment he sought re-
lease, claiming to be an insolvent debtor.
kiss the Bible said Judge Curtis to
Miller, and the latter promptly applied his
ladials to the sacred volume II want
you should true answers make to any ques-
tions put to you as to your property"
"Yes, sab, that l will" )" replied Miller,
with a grin, but which was rather ghastly
than otherwise.
Glow much money have you ?" was the
first judicial interrogatory.
Il will tell YOU" answered Miller, and
he proceeded to look through his pockets,
extracting in the course Of time a greasy
ten cent stamp, two FIVE cent nickel pieces
and four pennies. 'Here 1t Is, extending
his hand with the money in it toward the
Judge.
Chow much is there ?"
"Well, / make it tweuty-four cents.
Perhaps you would ike to count it your
self"
'Oh. no; is that all the money YOU We
got p
eyes, sir"
"None anywhere else ?"
"Not another cent in the world"
"Have you any property
"Wen, let me see,' answered Miller,
scratching his head. "Ca, yes I've got
a dog"
The answer aterring the ownership of
the dog evoked general smile and put a
a stop to further questions, but did not
quite end the case. This was concluded
by appointing one of the lawyers receiver
of the money and the dog, with instructions
to dispose of the dog and to sue the pro-
ceeds, together with the money on hand,
| for the benefit Of the creditors.
