Where the rocks are gray and the shore is steep.
AND the waters below look dark and deep,
Where the rugged pine in its lonely PRIDE
Looks gloomiIy over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are long and rank,
M "a the weeds grow thick on the winding bank,
Mlere the shadow is heavy the whole cay through,
1here lies at its moorings an old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like the sea-bird's wings that the storm has
And crossed,eq The railing one o er one,
H Is the iodea c ttrsds when the work IS done;
The spider stitches his sifve-E screen
And the solemn owl, with his hi "too-hoo.n
settles On The side of the old canOes~~
The sterr, half sunk in the Shiny wave,
RIOTS slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its dull dechy.
Hiding he moldering dust away
Like the hand that plans DER the tomb q flower
Or the ivy that nantes the falling tower;
While many blossoms of the lOveliest hue
spring APP Ger the stern of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dull and still,
But the light wind plays with the boat at will,
And lazilY in aud out again
1t floats the length of the rusty chain;
Like the weary march of the hands OF time,
That meet and part at the noontide chime
By the dipping bow Of the old canoe.
Oh, many a time with a careless hand,
have pushed It away from the pebbly strand,
Aud padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies thick,
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now, as lean DER the e,umbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see is the gravsr grown,
And the laugh that hear has silvery tone,
And the hands tnat lent to the light skif wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But love to think of the hours that sped
As rocked where the waves their white spray
shed,
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grew
Der the mouldering stern Of the old canoe

was an important factor in the economy, the

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The General Assems Iy which Meets at
LexiBgteR, Ky, ON she I7tk
Instant.

The General Assembly Of the Presbytsrisn
Church South will meet At Lexington, KY,
on the 18th instant. The Northern assembly
meets at Saratoga at the ssms lime. These
assemblies are invested with more than usual
interest and importance, by the fact that
they will be the first since the separation Of
the two branches Of the Church at which there
were but an exchange of delegates. At the
last m citing of the Norlhern and Southern
assemblies each agreed TO exchange delegates
this year, and The Establishment of these
fraternal relations may be attended with
important results. The Rev. DR.. Pryor,
OF Nottawsy county, Va, in q
letter to the Central Presbyterian, pub
lished at Richmond, ex presses the opinion
that the assembly of 1861, which met in Au-
gusts, Ga, and which gave ,hape and form
TO the Presbyterian Church in the Southern
States, did its work wisely and we'll. He
thinks the organization then effected admir-
ably adapted fer both domestic and foreign
work. The action of the Atlanta assembly
in reference TO the establishment of fraternal
relations with the Northern Church meets
with DIR. Pryor's appreciation, bR, he believes
1t has occasioned pain and dissatisfaction to
large number ef members of the Church.
de thinks, therefore, the Lexington assem-
bly, should be careful TO take no action that
may ALLEVIATE any members OF the Church.

This occurred twenty years ago, and few

then carefully closing the artistic little cas-
