Come home, my soul, my wounded mate;
Let's flee the cold worlds frowniEg hate;
Well seek the still, DARK solitude,
Adown the path. th' ough silent wood.
With tcars and signs, and sadty brood
Ger stubborn fate.
Wen walk the dark wood paths along,
And listen to the wild birds song;
Well pluck bright flowers that sadly dfoouh
And weave wrath. smiling group,
As emblem Of linsrin2 hope,
Deferred too long.
Perhaps some thought, some inward power,
Some faded 1eaf. or dropping flower,
May rouse the hopes Of other Jeara,
And dull the sting OF poignant feas;
And Hope nlaJ kmfie through burning team
Iu some sad hour.
Ny fafntins soul. my wounded mate,
Your idol'x found, alas! too late;
Come, then. and sadly roam witt ne,
Along the rock.bound. rolling sea-;
The wild, mad waves uny yet TOR thee
Some JOY cfeAte.
At gray twilight, with thes I'll sos1a.
Where billows break, and white sea a-foen
The frownsug rocks, and msdiy da4h
upo1 the bench, with angry craah,
Wen make our home.
Well sit upon the wave washed shore,
And listen to the deep. dull roar:
Well watch the white gulls' playful mood,
As. skimming o'er the boiling Hood,
They touch the wave where Oft we've at0oa,
In dreams, before.
Perhaps s'rnv by gone mem'ry s.eet
Will here our deep, sad longing1 greet,
And mingle in our Wild delight,
Where rolling hen and pale moonlight
Weave streams Of gold and amber light
Beneath sur feet.
Here then, my soul. nay wounded n&fe,
Away from frowns sad worldly kate,
Well wander by the dark sea shore,
Indulge our past sad grief no more,
Forgetting idols found before,
Alas! too late r. E. PAEAQNa.

BREVITIES,

A clergyman said the other day that modern
young ladies were not daughters Of Shem and
Ham. but daughters Of Hem and Sham-cou-
pounds Of plain sewing and make-belicve.
Fond father to visitor: "A1y boy knows a lot
Of Scripture. Now, Larry, what did God make
on the first day!'' Larry hcsitates. Fond
father points upward in the direction of the
chandelier. II know, pa; he made gas!''
Philadelphia Bulletin: ut WAS pitched with

player, who had been calmly slumbering, awoke
with start aud yelled s'foul," The first bass
came down from the choir and put him out.
A5-year~old tot, who had always closed ner
PRAYERS with IL and~God help Katy to be good
girl" opened h cr eyes at that point, the other
night, and said very decidedly: Il ain't going
to say the rest, for I don't want to be dood
girl, want to eat green apples and swallow
'em."
New York Commercial; Two Episcopal cler-
gymen were in the prayer desk, yesterday, and
one OF them, uncertain whether to read the
praye for Congress or not, asked Of the other,
"Has Congress 2djourneds' "No, ana it
never will" was the hasty but truthful reply.
The prayer was read.
The late Dr.. - did not satisfy by his preach

Bailey, OF the Daubury Te1s, relates this:
Col. B. was standing in tue square at Bethel,
the other day, when he spied farmer who
some weeks ago had sold him load OF very
crooked ~ hay. The party in question Is an
active professor of religion, and q most Jealous
worker for his own pocket, The mans profess
sion and practice being in such marked contrast,
caused tie Colonel to eye him with dislike.
When he came up the Colonel charged him with
