Now said the Professor TO the in

the object OF his sketch, the object is to
trace this frgure Of the circumscribed
square without removing the pencil
from the paper or retracing any Of the
lines
Can it be done p asked half dozen
voices at once.
You can all sec me do it, and as he
spoke the pencil few around the
various curves and angles and the
figure was complete.
In less time than it takes to write it

LIN

BY REV c. L. STEAMER.
On the occasion Of the Go.den Wedding OF
Mr.. William Wick and his wife Sarah, Of Con-
cord twp, this county, May 5lsi, 1852.
We have gathered beneath the old rooftree,
And around the old hearth stone,
We have come for q festal jubilee,
And the mercy of God to own.
II is fifty years since our parents dear
In their youth, their beauty and pride,
Vowed one to the other to love and revere,
And to journey through life side by side
In the year OF our Lord eighteen, thirty and
On The last eve of bright, blooming May,
The twain we're made one and with purposes
true
They started on life's rugged way.
How far they have come How much they
have seem
What events nave transpired since then
The mercy Of God toward them ever mas been
Through their upwards Of three score ana
ten.
They haYe helped one another, true heipers
they were,
And as true to their conjugal oath,
Through sunshine and storm, through COM
fort and care,
The Lord was the helper OF both.
Our father, our mother, as children, we nan
On this glad Anniversary Day;
Our love and esteem for you never shall fail,
Well be true to you both, come what may.
You were tender and loving, though strict
you were kind,
Your patience was oft sorely tried;
For 10 mischief and sport we were often IN
clined,
Az we sought our reflections to hide.
We know now as parents how great IS the
trust,
What trials parent must see;
As we think Ger the past, we feel that we
must
Own our parents more patient than we.
Your counseIs and kindness we will not fer
get,
Your love we will strive to repay;
Your pleasure we seek, we honor you yet,
And as long as you with us snail stay.
Whatever we are, what we may have attained
Whatever our station or place,
Ifthe favor Of men, if Of earth we have gained,
We owe it TO you through Gods grace,
We are here now together; Ho W oft who
can tell
Shall we all one another thus meet?
We leave all with Him who all things doth
well,
And submissiyely bow at his feet.
There are nine Of us children who greet on
to-day,
And three in the Land Of the Blest;
When our pilgrimage ends God grant that
we may
All meet in the Kingdom Of Rest.

SELECT.
King William and his Armies.
From IIarper's for June.l

think It well to announce, right in
the beginning Of this story, that Miles
Bunkly is not properly its hero, though
some preliminary things must be told
concerning him. Although Miles had
loved Miss Caroline Thigpen long be-
fore Mr.. Bill Williams courted her, yet
be never had told her SO in set words,
until-well, you may say it was too
late. Yet everybody was surprised
Miles was most excellent young man,
industrious, sober, thrifty, fond OF
LAYING up, and had right good deal laid
up already. Then he was quite passa-
bic as to looks. Mr.. Bill could not
have been said, even by Miss Thigpen,
to have any advantage Of Miles as to
looks. AS for the rest, all except Miss
Thigpen and bis own mother consider
ed him the inferior. Yet Dukesborough
manners, or something else, put him in
the lead on his first entry upon the
field. 1t was then, and not till then,
that Miles Bunkly made one, and but
one. ayowed effort, and failing, gave up
the contest, and resigned himself to
what be called molloncholy.
He had never been-at least he had
never seemed to be-a cheerful minded
person anyway. His courtship even
had been rather solemn piece OF busI,
ness. and the final declaration sounded
somewhat as If he had invited Miss
Tbigpcn to 20 with him to the grave
ward instead OF taking charge ofshls
domestic affairs. The lady, after gent
ly declining his suit, and claiming tht
privilege OF regarding him as frient
may, brother-announccd her In
tention Of ever keeping bis proposal
secret, and requested him TO do th'
same.
