THE TRIUMPH OF DEATH.

No longer mourn for me when am dead
Than you shall hear the surly, sullen bell
Give warning to the world that am fed
From the vile world with viIest worms to dwell
Nay, il you read this line. remember not
The hand that writ it; for love you so
That in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on Inc then should make you woe
U, if, say, you look upon this verse
When perhaps compounded be with clay,
Do not SO much rs my poor name rehearse,
But let your love even with my lie decay;
Lest the world should look into your moan,
And mock you with me after am gone.

ADVICE TO GI RLS.

Gather ye rosehuds while ye may,
Old Time Is still a-ilying;
And this same flower that smiles to-day
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the Sun,
Tie higher he's q getting
Tie sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which IS the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worst and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time;
And while ye may go marry,
For having lost but once your prime
You may forever tarry.

railway he could upset the locomo-

rail, but when he saw the locomotive
coming he jumped off into the ditch,
thinking everybody would hasten to
pick him up and set him back aftor
the engine had passed. But in spite
OF all the prophesies of the small
toals, nobody came, and the fine old
