Partial to Dogs.

The Earl Of Bridgewater lived in Paris
durin, the last century, when the circum-
stance we narrate took place. He was a
miserable looking man, unable to walk
without the support of two lackeys. He
had an immense fortune, which he spent
in gratifying every caprice. Was book
lent to him, it was regarded as the repre-
sentative of its owner, and returned in
the earl's landau. occupying the place of
honor, and attended by four Il otmen in
costly livery, who handed it to the aston
ished owner. His carria re was frequent
ly to be seen filled with dogs, his special
pets. On the feet of these dogs he
bestowed much attention as though
they were human beings. He ordered
them boots. for which he paid as dearly
as for his own. Not caring to entertain
his own kind at his table, few people
dined with him. Still, covers were daily
laid for dozen, served by suitable
attendants. At this table he received and
dlned with no less than twelve favorite
dogs, who seemed to comprehend the
compliment paid them. as they occupied
their chairs with 1ecorum, each with it's
white napkin tied round It's Leck, They
were so trained that should any, by an
instinct of appetite. transyress any rule of
good manners, he was banshed from the
table and degraded TO an ante-chamber,
where he picked his bone In modification,
his place remaining empty until ne had
earned his masters pardon,

Retiring From Business.

There is scarcely more wretched class
of men than those who. after spending
years in active business, go into retire.
ment in the prime of life. They become
drones, of very little use to themselves or
to others. There is now and then among
such men student, whose Intellectual
pursuits afford him an inexhaustible
spring of enjoyment. But, as a general
thing, long addiction to the close pursuit
Of business disqualifes one for any thing
else, and retired business men are, conse-
quently, without any occupation worthy
of the name, and seem, ridiculously
enough, to be standing around and just
waiting for their time to come to die;
which, we have no doubt, comes much
sooner than it would if their minds we're
diverted by some useful pursuit Life is
short at best, if all of it is occupied. But
to sit down in idleness in ones prime is
like destroying half our days. Rest and
rust are synonymous terms. Industry is
indispensable to happiness at whatever
stage Of our existence; and to retire out
ofcne's accustomed occupation is to re-
tire into misery, as many a man has found
to his lasting sorrow.

The Old And New Year,

Why hastest thou, o hoary year,
10 speak thy last adieu,
We gave thy comirg hearty cheer,
When thou vast young and new.
We have been busy all thy stay
70 increase our wealth and power
Yet knew thy march might bring decay
Perhaps our hopes devour.
Though we have seen beneath thy wings
Some loved ones early fall,
we cling to transitory things,
And heed not Wisdom's call.
Then what hast thou, thou good old year,
Laid up for cur defense?
Well meet again beyond this sphere,
FOR we are going hence.
And We shall need thy friendship there
Shall need a record true.
Shall need thy days spent to prepare
For worlds entirely new.
o if thou taste, bear Oh thy wings,
To the eternal shore
The gladstone news that angels sing
When we our lives deplore.
Then should thy new successor bring
The hour that we must die,
Well to the Rock OF Ages cling,
Then sail to worlds on high.
Yea haste your flight, ye passing years
Upon times swelling tide,
Though we pass through vale ST tears,
Wen land on Canaan's side.

TheNew Year.

A Happy New Year; springs from every
tongue,
And sweetest sunshine beams in every face,
happy New Year; are the changes rung,
And love and joy, and charity embrace.
A New Year with new mercies is begun,
With promised strength sufficient for each
day,
New joys, new conflicts and new victories
won,
With fresh resolves to run the glorious way.
With highest hopes to-day, friend meets with
friend
What love can furnish on the board is spread,
And all that charms with happy voices blend
Though sorrow fingers, tears of JOY are shed.
Nor distantfriends, nor loved ones gone before
Shall we forget, while chatting round the
hearth,
But 'Auld Lang Syne, as fresh as days of yore,
In all our thoughts, now mingle in our mirth.
And we are cheered, thrice blessed holy
thought,
That passing years are blessings in di guise,
For every day and hour, we're nearer brought
To that bright home-our mansion in the
skies.

Passengers on the Stream of Time.

Down the swift stream of Time we float,
And each with The freight in our LIES frsn

Roses or thorns-with song or sigh
We snatch from thebanks we're speeding by.
None do We meet; one way ride,
And all on never returning tide,
Whether our sky may lower, or beam.
The waters viii show, for it paints the stream
Yet, fits face be wild, or black,
No haven is near; and we can't 20 back
Though We put off more hlgh,-more low,
We all to tie mouth Of the stream must go.

To enter the ark of Mercy there.

Ever adown the stream we fleet,
Where anchored are none, and where mona

Who is insured, when time shall fail.

He who in time with all could part
To purchase the Pearl of Holy Heart.

A New Year Greeting

Gift Of untiring Goodness, bright, beautiful
New Year!
We take thy wintry hand in ours, with smile
of grateful cheer,
We hail, we bid thee welcome, in glad and
festive lays;
Thou com'st to us, DER many grave, to our
Preseryer, praise!
We ask not where thy footsteps tend, His wis
dom is our guide,
We ask not what thy casket holds, He will
DER all preside,
SO, Wheresoe'er thou leadest on, still trustful-
ly we'll tread,
Whether our untred path shall be with thorns
or flowers o'erspread;
If tits our lot to walk with thee, until thy
journey close,
Or thine to lay us down tlast, in undisturbed
repose,
We may not know, we will not ask, the pres
ent is our care,
With all its duties, all its joys, its love and
toll and prayer.
Help us to cast aside the weights that clog
the spirits force,
Forget the things that are behind, and up
ward speed our course,
Make us reader at life's lesson, make us
reader for its end,
And filter for that angel-train to which the
blest ascend.

How q Man Goes to Bed.

The snow has come, and sill is coming,
Yonder, and hither, and everywhere,

Nothing but beauty and peace profound.
