LIFE's HISTORY.
BY O. W. BooDA.

when was quite small, l knew nothing at all,
OF the world, and Its bright pleasures many,
But ! grew day by day, and oft they would say,
"say mamma, and rll give you penny"
Very soon could walk, and then could talk,
And my prattle could be heard all day long
I'd made the house ring, If could but sing
Or whistle a nice little song.
Next to school went, where my parents they
sent
Me, to learn to write and to read;
But the truth to say, went there to play,
At which / made very good speed.
One day remember, 'twas the month of De-
cember,
And the ground was covered with snow;
wanted to slide, and take a good ride,
But the master forbid me to go.
However 1 went, and the noon hour spent,
In sliding down hill, which was fun;
And when the bell rang i used the word dang
And started Off on brisk run.
entered the house as sly as mouse,
Where the master and / of course met
When, 1t sounded kerwack, the rod on my back,
Which made me walk lively "you bet."
But those days are o'er attend school no more,
My boyhood is now past and gone;
l have turned new page upon the worlds stage
And now to young man have grown
But as reflect, It is with regret,
To think that those times they are o'er;
Thought they would last but now they are past
And shall enjoy them no more.
But man fuds pleasure and often treasure,
Which is very nice l suppose;
A companion for life mean good wife,
One to love and to mend his old clothes.
And as grow older, am the beholder,
That life is fast leeting by;
When once aged and gray 1T warns that the day
of life's nearly past, and deaths drawing
nigh.
am now grown old as all can behold,
And soon to my /" rest' shall go
When my days are past will sing home at
last"
Twill be pleasant to leave here below.

THE TWO WILLS.

IN THE days when all the world was
Il romantic, and no one was ashamed
of it, two gentlemen of England con-
ceived the preposterous, but at the same
time rather fashionable idea, that, be-
cause they were friends, their son and
daughter, then infants in their cradles,
must love each other when they grew
to be man and woman; and, having
compared notes, and found that they
quite agreed on this point, set to work
with zeal worthy of better cause, to
arrange matters so that they must turn
out exactly as they desired.
If they lived, of course their COM
mands would be sufficient.
OF this they were assured; but, if
they died, who knew what two mis-
guided young people might do.
Consequently, each made a will; and
matters were so arranged that, if either
of the young people declined the hand
of the other, that young person would
be penniless, and his or her estate go the
other young person who was willing.
After some years, the gentleman
whose child was daughter, left his ma
tive England for America, while the
other, who was widower, his wife hav-
ing given her life for that son, remain
ed in England; so that the ocean rolled
between the romantic friends.
The English resident was named Ed
r,und Harri otOn Tho American
Charles Seabright.
Both were, as we have said, wealthy,
and both brought their children up care
fully.
AS they grew older they permitted
them to correspond with each other, but
each detested the task so, that the let
ters were actually written by the elders
themselves.
Once at the age of fourteen, when
news came that little Harold Harrington
had fallen from a tree and broken his
leg, Elsie Seabright was desired to reply
that she felt great regret, and send her
best wishes for his speedy recovery; but
the girl, who could never listen to the
boys name with anything like patience,
refused to write one word of this amia-
ble epistle.
''I wish he had broken his neck, so
that I might never hear any more about
him, she said, with stamp of her
slippered foot; and 1 won't write
fibs." n
So again mamma wrote the letter,
having first locked Elsie up in dark
pantry by way of punishment.
And 1 am sorry to find child of
mine so unfeeling," she said. A
broken leg causes great pain and may
make one lame for life.p
" A nice thing for me that would be
If am to marry him. said Elsie.
Indeed if she had been as sympa-
thetic as her mother desired her to, Elsie
would have had an opportunity enough
to exercise these feelings, for her young
betrothed was always in some pickle,
and had nearly drowned herself and
nearly shot himself dozen times, TO say
nothing of ordinary tumbles.
1t was tit for tat, at all events, fol
