soLIzoQUY OF AN OLD MIRROR.

Upon this old and rusty nail
I've hung for many years.;
All, me! but I could tell a tale
OF pleasure-yes, n tears.
How many q beaming countenance /
That in the days gone by !
Gave me the quick, admiring glance
Now in the churchyard lie!
Wrinkles have grown on faces fair,
Bright eyes their lustre lost,
And on the fair heads of glossy hair
Has fallen ages frost;
The manly form, erect and proud,
Has lost its stately grace,
And gray with years and sorrow bowed
Now shuns my truthful face.
The lad who shaved his downyli
BY my reflected MD,
And made so many a cruel slip
With k~een-edged razor blade.
Now hath q son., who, now n then,
With comical grimace,
Apes well the ways of older men
And scrapeS his beardleSs face,
A maiden lady, old and spare,
Who mourns her lonely state,
Comes here and combs her scanty hair
In style long out of date;
Then, with affected unconcern,
She daubs her cheeks with red.
In hopes that she may some day turn
Some single cOdgers head.
Two lovers came to-day and gazed
Together in my face.
He with enthusiasm praised
The beauty of her face;
Clasped in each others loving arms
Quite long they gazed in me
John looked at Mary's buxom charms,
And Mary-so did she!
There! Bobbie, with his dreadful ball,
Has ended me, l know!
Ny frame hangs empty on the wall,
My fragments lie below.
All, well, 'twould do but little good
Ny feelings to express
The stony chances I'd withstood
Had weakened me, / guess.

RECENT DELIBERATIONS

'sThe Grounds of Thsistic and Christian Belief, :" by George F. Fisher, D. D., IL. D. professor of ecclesiastical history in Yale eol- lege, Is book for the times. The author says in his preface: 'In preparing these chapters have sought to direct the reader into lines of reflection which may serve to impress him with the truth that the strong est proof of Christianity is afforded by Christ ianity itself and by Chris tendon as sn exist ing fact" In the book he sets forth the grounds of Christian belief and undertakes to show that they are reasonable ana that the theories of the agnostic and stheistic writers are more incredible than the histories which they are intended to displacs. His first three chapters are devoted to discussion Of the personality of God and man, and to a review of the arguments for and against the being of God. He then passes on to censid- or the possibility and functions of miracles, and to marshal the arguments in their sup port as derived from the character of Christ, from the testimony of the evangelists and apostles. and the conversion of St. Paul. In successive chapters the arguments for Chris tianity are presented as derived from pro- phscy, from the adaptedness of the religion to mans nature, from tho character of it's doctrine, from the results of it's operation, and from it's difference from all other reli- eions. Professor Fisher has a very clear and agreeable style, and his reasoning is cal oulated to make profound impression. The book will be great help to those who are honestly seeking for light upon the impor- tant subjects of which it treats. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
