BLACKBERRYING!
J, II. n.

Js Ii. Ne
Merrily tripping, with basket or pail,
Forth il the morning light,
Over the hill and through the vale
Truly happy sight.
Happy young voices ring on the air,
Voices of laughter and song;
Glad young faces are beaming fair
Happy feet dance along.
Hearts as light as the bird that flies
Gaily from tree to tree:
Pure and bright as the summer skies,
The children seem to me.
All the day long, in wood or field,
They gather the luscious store,
Bringing, at eve, the bounteous yield
But bringing with fingers sore.
Soft hands, pure and tender at morn,
And eager their work to begin,
Cruelty SCARED by many a thorn
That lies imbedded within.
Yet pause they not for the thorn's deep scar
By many field and glen,
Tomorrow morn they will wander afar,
Picking the berries again.
Brave young hearts! Nor scar nor pain,
May dampen their youthful zeal,
Their happy songs, on the thorny plain,
Attest the joy they feel.
Oh, happy youth! with its careless play,
Its memory fingers long;
How oft we wish we could keep alway
Repeating its happy song!
May the children who gather the berries sweet
Regardless Of brier or thorn,
Happily dance, o'er golden street,
In the light of the Judgment morn!

A few days ago Mayor James went blackber-
rying, and some joker tied Grape on the door of
the Mayors ONCE. A few days afterward Mar
shall Owens went to the country, and the same
joke was played at his expense. This Is all well
enough, but we observe that the Mayor can
generally be found without much trouble, and
when Owens leaves town he always leaves his
business in safe hands.

AN AWAKENING. A
BY MRS. REV. W. P. TURNER.

The wasted year The wasted year.
No ghost was e'er so pale and dread
As each wan memory appears.
When conscience wakes it from the dead.
See in the deeps of under-thought
spectral company they bide; -
Sometimes, with quiet grief distraught,
They sit bemoaning side by side;
But, oft, they glide to-and-fro,
Impelled by such sharp unrest;
With eyes that look reproachful woe
Because their-days were all unblest.
All when to me comes soothing sleepl
And when does thought sweet semblance
bear?
Can peace o'erspread curse so deep?-
Is joy garland guilt may wear?
Yet are We dear, ye shadowed days; =
And dear, We nights of,rest bereft;
All stay swift hours while time delays,
May not dream OF hope be left?
Shall dull despair, with heavy wing,
In my sad breast forever sit
Expecting, till each morrow bring
A new born curse between her feet
Shall memory's sharpened finger pierce
Ny quick sense as a rambling thorn
Through all the interminable years.
Nor balm be found ?-nor half be borne
Yet hope no vision lendeth me!
She by the Godman's cross doth hide /;
Tbitherward darkness hangs l see
No streaming blood-no crucifed.
Alas, poor soul, thou hast repelled
The one true light the ages bear.
Christ can, to the, no pity yield;
Mercy can give thy prayer no ear.
Rise,-rise,- thou hidden star thou sun J
Bestow upon my hideous night
One blessed beam-I ask but one =
A guide to the sweet source of light.
Thither I'd struggle, did the strife
Consume mortality and time
To gaze on thee-thou dying life
Thou heart of God !--trans6xed for mine.
I said for mme. Vast done for me,
Whose impious days have secuted heaven
/ swoon in the intensity
OF loves revealment, | forgiven.
/ cleansed from long deflement!
Harmonious with the central Joy
Oh blood of lofty ecstacy
grasp new thought-seize new employ
Jesus, my souls deliverer thee
Be my one bliss to follow well %a
My hope, my toll, my end to see
fhee, the whole worlds Emmanuel.
