SONG FOB OLD THINGS.

In vain men tell us time can alter
Old loves or make old memories fAlter,
That with the old year the old year life closes,
The old dew still falls on the old sweet flowers,
The old sun revives the new hedged hours,
The old summer rears the newborn roses.
Much more Muse that bears upon her
Raiment and wreath and flower of honor,
Gathered long since and long since woven,
Fades not or falls as fall the vernal
Blossoms that bear no frnit eternal,
BY Summer or Winter charred or cloven.
No time cast down, no time upraises,
such love, such memories, and such praises,
As need no grace OF sun or shower,
Nc saving screen from frost or thunder,
To tend the house around aud under
The imperishab!e and peerless flower.
Old thanks, old thoughts, old aspirations
Outtive men lives aud lives OF nations,
tad, but for one thing which survives
The iualienable and usprced treasure,
he old JOY OF pew er. the old pride OF pleasure,
That lives In light above men S lives.

ABSENT MINDEDNEsS GONE TO SEED.-If the

their faculty can furnish a man to take the
prize OF the ages for absence of mind let them
read this account of the late DIR. Duncan: The
day he was to be married to Mrs. Torrance he
had his niece in the house with him: the hour
was coming on; his niece sent him to his room
TO dress. L suppose going to bed was in his
mind, the sequence of undressing. However
the hour OF marriage came, aud the cab to
carry him; no sign of the dressed bridegroom
His niece went to see how il was, and found
him in bed sound asleep, with Hebrew book
III his hand. L was at the marriage, being a
pupil OF his he was deep in Hebrew lesson
with me in a window; the bride was
brought in without interrupting the lesson 4;
some one came and took him by the arm to
lead him OF to other doings; his steps moved
away, out his lace remained turned to his
scholar; his parting words were, well. mind

tile simplicity that did not want its own charm,

patience, after he had drained his cup fourteen
times. mo, thank you, madam" he replied,

This absence often showed itself in the pre-
Sence OF others, as if he had been alone At
dinner, in company of ministers, following
his constant habit of walking up aud down
when interested in subject he unconscious
