Oh, wherefore bid me leave thy SIDE,
Dear Polly? I would ask
How can all my feelings cloak
When in thy smiles 1 basque?
May, "Polly nay" 1 cannot go!
Oh, do not stand aloof,
When of my warm affection
You possess, oh, waterproof.
Why will you thus my feelings gore
By sending me away?
You know it's wrong, of corset is,
Thus to forbid my stay.
1t seems as though some fell disease
Was gnawing at my heart,
And hem -orrhage would soon ensue
If we, perchance, should part.
Then waist the precious time no more
But let the parson tie us
Sew firmly thgt the marriage knot
Shall never be cut bias.

On life's unruffled tide,
Nor let the hustle of the world
"Pull back" as on we glide.

CANINE ATTACHMENT

Stories almost innumersble hsv

gacity of the dog and its attachmen
Of its owner A remarkable and vel.
authenticated instance, which NAV nG

my notice, as having occurred sous
years ago in the neighborhOoi al
Rotterdam. 4 person in RotherhaE

he retained for long period WhlsI
in his possession it became much st.

pecially V to two of its masters son;
After 4 time circumstances transpirtl
which led TO the animal being sent toI

farmer st Thorpe Salvin. After tt5|
lapse of a considerable time one Of ne
sons of the dogs former master pad
visit to the farm. The dog. OlI
seeing him, appeared to be oveIoTed
and was most demonstrative in is lH.I
dications of delight.
During his stay it would not lea7'
him; and when it became necessaI!
for him to leave in the evening tls
animal could scarcely he restrained
and had to be chained up in the room
where the family were sitting. As

change which had come over the shl'

going to him, he was tonndto be Qli'
dead. The singular occurrence U5
came well known in the neighoorhool..
and it was regarded that the dog nA-

The following is the Interpretation ::

Inc IOllOWlng is the Interpretation
I. The kid, which is one of the pure ami
mails, denotes the Hebrews. The father by
whom it was purchased is Jehovah, who
represent himself as sustaining this relation
to the Hebrew nation. The pieces of money
signify Moses and Aaron, through whose
mediation the Hebrews were brought out of
Egypt.
2. The cat denotes the Assyrians by whom
the Ten Tribes were carried into captivity
3. The Cog is symboiical of the Babylon
ians.
q. The staff signifies the Persians.
B. The fire indicates the Grecian empire
under Alexander the Great
6. The water betokens the Roman or the
fourth of the great monarchies to whom the
Jews were subjected.
z. The OK is a symbol of the Saracens. who
subdued Palestine, and brought it under the
caliphate.
8. The butcher that killed the OK denotes
the Crusaders, by whom the Holy Land was
wrested out of the hands of the Saracens.
3. The angel of death signifies the Turkish
power, by which the land of Palestine was
taken from the Franks, aud to whom it is
still subject
H. The commencement of the tenth stanza
is designed TO show that God will take
signal vengeance on :he Turks immediately
after whose overthrow the Jews are to be re-.
stored to their own land, and live under the
government OF their long Tex pected Messiah.

The House that jack Built.

As the occupations and pleasures of child
hood produce powerful impression on the
memory, it is probable almost every reader
who has passed h is infantile days i'm an Eng
lish nursery recollects the delight with
which he repeated that puer:le jingli1g
legend, "The Honse that Jack Built"
Very few, however, are at all aware of the
original form of its composition, or the
particular subject it was designed to illus
trate. And fewer still would suspect that
it is only an accommodated and altered
translation of an ancient parabolical hymn,
sung by the Jews at the Passover, and COM
memorative of the principal events in the
history of that people. Yet such is the
fact The original is the Chaldee language.
To it is added the Interpretation, as given
by P. N. Leberecht. Leipsic, 1871. The
hymn itself is found in Sophie" Haggadab,
vol. 90.
The final stanZas are these:
Z. Then came the angel of death, and killed
the butcher,
That slew the OK,
That drank the water,
That qnenched the fire,
That burned the staff,
That beat the dog,
That bit the cat,I
That ate the kid,
That my father bought
For two pieces of money.
A kid a kid.
10. Then came the Holy One, blessed be He
And killed the angel of death,
That killed the butcher,
That slew the OK,
That drank the water,
That quenched the fire,
That burned the staff,
That beat the dog,
That bit the cat,
That ate the kid
That my father bought.
