The gloomiest day hath uleams of light
The darkest wave hath blight foam near it;
And twinkles tlnough the cloudiest night
Some solitary star to cheer it.
The t'l uiiest soul is not all gloom;
The sad.i.-s heart is not all sadness;
And .-wettii o’er the d . kest doom
Ther- -mnes some Lt geung tieam of gladness.
Despair is never quite despair;
Nor life nor death he future closes;
And round the shadowy brow of Care
Will Hope and Fancy twine their roses
SONG GF THE 300.000 DRUNKARDS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
We come, we come, with sad array,
And in procession b»ng,
To join the army of the lost,
Three hundred thousand strong!
Our banners beck’ning on to death,
Abroad we have unrolled;
And Famine, ( are, and wan Despair
Are seen upon their fold.
Ye heard what music cheers us on—
The mother’s erv that rang
So wildly and the babe that wailed
Above the trumpet’s clang.
We’ve taken spoil; and blighted joys
And ruined homes are here;
We’ve trampled on the throbbing heart
And flouted sorrow’s tear.
We come, we come—we’ve searched the land, |
The rich and poor are ours;
I Enlisted from the shrines of God,
From hovels and from towers.
Ami who or what slialj baulk the brave
That swear to drink and die?
What boots to such, man’s muttered curse,
Or Ills, that spans the sky!
Onward ! though ever on our march
Hang misery’s countless train;
Onward tor hell—from rank to rank,
Pass we the cup again!
We come—of the world’s scourges, who i
Like us have overthrow n?
What Wo had ev< r earth like wo,
i’o our stern prowess known? ,
We co e, we come to fill our graves 1
On which shall shine no star,
T<> glut the worm that never dies, i
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! .

tny two aunts very perfectly, for greater op- (
poshes were naver made since tho formation t

I Huguish between them, we young folks used (
;to call the quiet ami easy ono Aunt Bridget, ,
J and the hustling worrying one, Aunt Fidget. .
You never in the whole course of your life,!
s i\v such a quiet, easy, arid comfortable crea- i
ture us Aunt Bridget—she was not iminemve- !
hy large, nor prodigiously fat. Her weight
I did no; exceed twenty stone, or two and twen
tv at the utrnos —hot weather made some lil-
I tie rtiflerenre: but she might be c alled prodig
iously fat, because she was nil fai; I don’t
think these was an ounce of lean hi her whole
I ccmposition. She was no impel tmbaldy good 1
nalur.d, that 1 really do not believe she was :
| ever in a passion in the whole course of h< r i
life. 1 have no doubt that site Lad her tr«nib- !
ties; we all have troubles more or less, but ;
, Aunt Bridge: d<d tiul like to trouble her-udi <» j

j fnrtable arm ciiaii. Ly the Hie side, with her

building to be some mysterious egg on which
the genius of silence Lad sat brooding ever
since the creation of the world, or even before
Chaos had combed its head and Washed its
face. There is tn that place of silence that
may be heard, a delicious stillness which the
ear dunks tn as greedily as the late Dr. Dando
used to gulp oysters. It is said that when
the inhabitants are ail asleep, thev can hear
une another snore. Here dtvi I* my Aunt
Bridget,—kindest of the kind, and quietest of
the quiet. But good nature is terribly impos
ed upon in this wicked world of ours; and so
it was with Aunt Bridget. Her poulterer, I
am sure, used to charge her ten per cent, more
I than any of the rest of his customers, becausa
she never found fault, 'he was particularly
fond of ducks, —very likely from a sympathy
with lheir qmet st)le of locomotion; but she
disliked haggling about the price, and she ab
horred the trouble of choosing them, so she
left it to the man’s conscience to send vbai ne
pleased, and to charge what L< i-leased, i de
clarethat I have seen upon her table S”di
withered, wizened, toadiike v.lhaiis of half

was st-naslied at one fell swoop. “Now that
is too bad,” said my aunt “I ically will tell
her of it.” So I «as in hopes of seeing Aunt
Bridget in a passion, "huh would havo been
as rare a sight as an American aloe in blossom.
She rang the bell with most heroic vigor, and

heard half lhe first sentence of a terrible scold

“are they all broke?”—“Yes, ma’am” said
Betty, ‘How come you to break them?” said
my aunt, —-“thev slipped ofT lhe tray, ma’um’’

said Betty. Next morning another sat was
ordered- Blns was not (Im first, second, or

rare place m her service. They had highlife

upon; bless her old heart! sho never liked to
sec what she did not like to see, and so long
as she could be quiet she was happy. Shu
was 3 living emblem ol the !*«< ific Ocean.
But my Aunt Fidget was quite another thing.
She only resembled my Aunt Bridget in one
particular, tuat is, she had not an ounce ui
lean about her, but then she had no fat neither
—she was all skm and bone, I cannot say for
