Irecollect reading a story. once,
written by a gentleman named
Shakspere, of an old fellow by the
name Of Lear, who lived somewhere
down East. Mr., Lear, according
to all accounts, was a highly re-
spectacle man, largely engaged in
politics and real estate, and had
accumulated considerable money,
he having been in business for him
self several years. Mrs: Lear had
died some time before the opening
of the story, from an attack Of
measles or whooping-cough, or
something Of that sort, leaving
three daughters. His youngest
daughter fell in love with a fellow
she met at apicnic, but the old man
couldn't see it in that light-he had
another fellow all cut and dried,
and he wanted the girl to marry
him. She jswore she'd be teeto-
tally chawed up if she would, and
the old man said he'd be- if she
shouldn't, and the final result was
that he turned her out Of the house !;
the other two daughters, having a
most disintrested eye on the old
mans property, told him that he
had Just done what he ought to do,
and that the next best thing to
joining spiritual circle was to di-
vide his property between them.
This struck the old man as a bril-
liant idea, and he acted on it at
once; he gave them his boots and
his clothes and his meerschaum
pipe, and, in S hort, everything he
had; after he. had given them all,
then the ungrateful wretches want
ed the rest, and when the old man
refused they kicked him into the

I'm drifting out on the sea of Time,
Towards the shores Of the Yet to Be,
And nay daring's gone beyond the tide,
And is wailing to welcome me-.
That dear, bright smile can cheer no more,
That laugh,is hushed beneath the sod;
His life gone upwards-calmly now
His body sleeps-his soul with God.
Tread lightly on that sacred spot,
Nor breathe one word unhaliowed there
'Tis mine-that little grassy mound
Ills all I have left for loves fond care. ,
At twilight's mystic hour methinks,

And stops, beside bis cottage door, -. ..

DEATH FROM NOISES.


A literary gentleman once re-
marked in a speech, that it
would be- an Improvements upon
the human body if we might shut
our ears as easily as we}cansshut
our eyes. If'a sighs7displeases us,
we5have but to drop our eyelids,
and we are relieved. But we have
no remedy against prosy speeches
orthe firing ofguns, or'the shrek
of7a whistle, except to remove our
selves from the vicinity aof the
sound. p - = *Ta,3 -.r1e.
The jocose remark received
pathetic illustration IN the case Of
John Leeeh, the artist, whose
sketches made the London Paach
the delight, of its readers. His
nerves were in such a stateof ten
sion that he became the tortured
victim of organ grinders and rail-
way whistles. He worked dTiuEthe
attic of his house, but even there
the din Of street bands annoyed
him. Ills suferings from noises
became so painful that sone Of the
proprietors ofthe Punch took him
into the country to.stay week
or more; Leech' promised him
self much pleasure i'm being far
away from the noise @of the organ
grinders, raitway'whistles and the
firing Of guns. = 2'se:s.s1 n
But the morning after his arri-
val the host was surprised to find
