THE QUIET LIFE.

Happy the man, whose wish and care
few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with
bread,
Whose hocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade
In winter, fire.
BIest who can uncOncernedly find
Hours, days, and years, slide soft away
In health Of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed; sweet recreation
And Innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world and not stone
Tell where lie.

Cincinnati Gazette.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is 81
years of age, and is obviously growing
old. He declined to accompany to
Yorktown the regiment of which he is
chaplain, and he has just resigned the
editorship of the Christian Union.
His sermons will appear in it as here
tofore, but his church will occupy all
his attention. No doubt the troubles
through which he has passed have
made heavy drains on his powers
they would have killed many men out
right-but the Beechers are long lived.
His father died in his 88th year, hav-
ing failed mentally before his body
gave way. Catharine is over 80, and
Edward not much under four score.
Mrs. Stowe is nearly 20, and other chill
dren are living.
