THE BABE And. TIE KNIGHT.

TO THE "KNIGLT Or SPAIN"
Twas heralded over the land
With many n trumpet blast:
"There's TO he a tournament grand,
To eclipse anything of the past.''
Twas heraltletI everywhere,
Every tongue told the wondrous tale.
Like a song that is borne on the air
Eehoing over each city and vale.
The day dawns cloudless and fair,
The sun crowned with glory so bright,
Smiles on the gay throng that is there
Fair maidens, and many a knight.
Even Age Ieans,sfo strength on its staff,
And innocent Childhood is there:
Humming voices blend with tie gay
laugh,
Thrilling music rings out on the air.
Many fair brow is famed by the breeze
Bright eyes answer bright eyes again
while the throng meath the shade of the
watch the proud gallant knights on
the plain.
The word now is given-each name,
Rings out on the pure morning air.
How proudly that black charger came,
The rider the grandest one there
How swiftly they dash DER the plain!
The sun gilds each bright burnisli'd lance ::
Cheering voices now echo again
AS one and another advance.
On, on, the bold riders go by,
The knights in their panoply gay.
All! thcre's hope in many an eve
Some one will be victor to-day.
And each one the victor would be-
The queen of his love he would crown;
Each maiden is watching to see,
If the queen comes from woodland or
town.
The Knight of Pearl Rivev has lost.
While the Knight of the Three Plumes
The Rubicon safely is Cross ed,
And others slre grand race have run.
The victor his fair queen has crowned,
A maiden Of beauty and gracg;
For worth and for beauty renowned.
All here MAS pure chan ming face.
Then ether fair ma dens were there,
With garlands OF lOveliest flowers,
Resting lightly on soft silken hair.
All, beauty hath wonderful powers!
But the hope of sonae fair one is slam,
For the black chargers rider so proud
lis the darkeyed, grand Knight of Spain.)
Looks coldly upon the fair crowd.
He had gazed on the gay charming girls;
Telf he knew that the false were the
fair.
What delusions paint, powder and curls,
How many mask he saw there
Then taking the wreath-how he smiled,
What a tender light flashed in his eyes!
lie wreathed the pure brow of a child
Irpoce'sce wears the coveted prize.
When think of that gay idle day,
Like a vanishing dream of the night,
One mem'ry will linger for aye,
OF the innocent Babe and the Knight.

SOMETHING FOR YOUNG MEN TO
THINK OF.

In the latest of his preachings upon
Popular Proverbs" DR.. Holland closes
a thoughtful and suggestive discourse
on sensual pleasures, with the following
earnest remarks to young men who de-
sire to be thought of:
"Oh! if this world could rise out of
this swamp Of sensuality. rank with
weeds and dark with deadly vapors-
full of vipers, thick with pitfalls, and
lurid with deceptive lights-and stand
upon the secure nights of virtue, where
Gods sun shines, and the winds of heav-
en- breathe blandly and BEAUTIFULLY; how
would human life become blessed and
beautiful The great burden of the
world rolled of, how would it spring
forward into a grand career of prosper
ity and progress! This change for this
country rests almost entirely upon the
young men of the country. 1t lies with
them more than any other classes, to
say whether this country shall descend
still lower in its path to brutality, or
rise higher than the standard of its loft
lest dreams. The devotees of sense,
themselves, have greatly lost their pow
er for good and comparatively few will
change their course Of life Woman will
be pure if man will be true. Young men
this great result abides with you. If
you could see how beautiful a flower
grows upon the thorn stalk of self. denial,
you would give the plant the honor it
deserves. If it seems hard and homely,
despise 1t not for in it sleeps the beau
ty of heaven and the breath of angels.
If you do not witness the glory of its
blossoming during the day Of life, its
petals will open when the night of death
comes, and gladden. your closing eyes
with their marvellous loveiness, and fill
your soul with grateful perfumes"
