C. B. LOMBARD
DENTIST,
Life is Real.
BY H. W. LONGFELLOW.
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream;
For the soul is deep that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem..
Life is real! life is earnest!
And th( grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way,
But to act that each to-morrow,
Finds us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and time is fleeting.
And our hearts, tlio’stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drum*, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of baffle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattl.e!
Be a hero in the strife !
Trust no future howe’er pleasant,
Let the dead Fast bury its dead!
Act!—net in the liviug Present,
Heart within, and God o'er bead.
Lives of great men remind us,
We may make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us,
Foot priuts on the sands of time.
Foot priuts that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take heart again-
Let US then he up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

as his knuckles knocked against the
door.
VVhen the door was opened, our lover
hero was greeted with an unexpected
sight of a diminutive crooked form, a
pair of spectacles, and red hair, were the
principal features in the tout ensemble
ofhis fair receiver. Now, red hair was
Henry’s aversion. The lady, for such
she evidently appeared, conducted him
to a pretty parlor, where music and
books showed the taste of the fair owner.
After a short scrutiny, Harry turned to
the odd little figure beside him and re
quested to see Mis-i B.
** She is before you," said his com
panion.
He was thunderstruck and stood gaz
ing at her without motion, but at length
collected his scattered wits and tried to
commence a conversation “ under diffi
culties.” He introduced himself as her
unknown correspondent, and explained
that lie h id come to make a personal
acquaintance. She answered him with
modesty and good sense, telling him
that their intercouse must be on the
terms of friendship, until they became
more intimately known to each other.—
They conversed long and pleasantly,
and he scan found hitnself admiring her
voice which was soft and sweet; and
before he left, her winning manner had
so charmed him. that he had quite for
gotten her red hair and spectacles.—
Thus their intercouse continued for a
week, at the expirat ion of xfhich time he
made her an oiler ofhis heart and hand.
She hesitated ere she replied, but
smilingly asked, have you so far over
come your aversion to red hair and
crooked form, as to make me your
wife ?
He replied that he loved her, and cared
not what was the color of her hair, so
long as she would consent to be his.
An answer was promised lo be given on
the following morning.
As early as propriety would admit, on
the next morning, our friend Harry
again sought his beloved, but was greatly
surprised to he received by one so like,
and yet so unlike her to whom he had
been paying his court. There she stood,
with a sweet smile on her lips, and a
laughing light in her hazel eyes, with
out those distinguishing marks of per

certain occasion, delivered himself of
what is called a fine address, was met by
one ofhis bearers the next day, when in
the course of conversation, allusion was
made to it, the parishioner remarked
that he had a book containing every
word of it, and had heard it before. To
this the clergy man boldly asserted that
the address was writtten by himself the
week previous to its delivery, and there

The American Flag
United States! your banner bears
Two emblems: one of Fame.
Alas 1 tlie other that it wears,
Proclaims yonr nation’s shame.
Your high renown, in glorious types,
Is blazoned by your stars;
But what the meaning of the stripes!
They mean your negroes’ scars!

Crossed with the moonbeam's pearly white.

Let Asia's groaning millions speak;
The white—it tells the color fled
From starving Erin's pallid cheek.
