EY CKACE WEBSTER HINSDALE Thou giv’st me but thy- cheek—a year ago Thy glowing lip was pressed to mine; in vain I seek the fulness of thy love again! No reason do I ask that I may know- W hy coldly thus thou meet'st my kiss: I go Front thy dear side, and leave thee free to bless One who may surer win thy fond caress. I will not wait to check the richer flow Thou couldst not lavish on my hungry heart, Nor will I stay the jealous watch to keep My love would prompt, if lingering where thou art. Give now thy best to one who dares to reap Such golden field—forev.r more I part My life from thine, that I, alone, may weep. LIFE. 0 let the soul her slunrbeiS break, Let thought be quickened, and awake : Awake to see How soon this life is past and gone, And death comes softly stealing on, IIow silently! Swiftly our pleasure glide away, Our heaits recall the distant day With many sighs; The moments that are speeding first We heed not, but the past,—the past,— Mui tJ JTT j BO I - — Onward its course the present keeps, Onward the constant current sweeps, Till life is done; And, did we judge of time aright, The past and futuie in their flight Would be as one. Let no one f <ndly dream again, That Hope and all her shadowy train Will not decay; Fleeting' as were the dreams of oid, Remembered like a tale that’s told, They pass away. Our lives are rivers, gliding free othat unfathomed, boundless sea, The silent grave ! Thither all earthly pomp and boast Roll, to be swallowed up and lost In one dark wave. Thither the mighty torrents stray, Thither the brook pursues its way, And tinkling rill. There all are equal. Side by side 1 he poor man and the son of pride Lie. calm and still.

For terms, &e., address the above, care ot Key Box, 56, Augusta, Ga. Nov. IS tf prn ?7 1 not here invoke the throng Of orators and sons of song, deathless few; Fiction entices and deceives, And, sprinkled o’er her fragrant leaves, Lies poisonous dew. To One alone my thoughts arise, he Eternal Truth,—the Good an Wise,—* o Him 1 cry, Who shared on earth our common lot, But the world comprehended not His deity. This w r J is but the rugged road Whic 1 tends us to the bright abjdo Of peace above; So let us choose that narrow way, Which loads no traveller's foot astray Fiom realms of love. Our cradle is the starting-place, In life we run the onward .race, And reach the goal; When, in the mansions of the blest, Death leaves to it3 eternal rest The weary sonI. Did we but use it as we ought, This world would school each wondering thought To its high state. aith wings the soul beyond the sky, Up to that better world on high, For which we wait. Yes,—the glad messenger of love, To guide us to our home above, The Saviour came ; Born amid mortal cares and fears, lie suffered iu this vale of tears A death of shame. Behold of what delusive worth The bubbles we pursue on earth, The shapes we chase, Amid a world of treachery ! They vanish ere death shuts the eye, And leave to trace. Time steals them from us—chances strange, Disastrous accidents, and change, That come to all; Even in the most exalted state, Relentless sweeps the stroke o( fate ; The strongest firil. Tell me,—the charms that lovers seek In the clear eye and blushing cheek, The hues that play O’er rosy lip and brow of snow, When hoary age approaches slow Ah, where are they ? The cunning skill, the curious arts, The glorious strength that youth imparts In life’s first stage; Tbc3e^sliall become a heavy weight, When Time swings wide his outward gate To weary age. The noble blood ot Gothic name, Heroes emblazoned high to fame, In long array; How, in the outward course of time, The landmarks of that race sublime Were swept away! Some, the degrade slaves of lust, Prostrate and trampled in the dust, Shall rise no more ; Others, by guilt and crime, maintain, The scutcheon, that, without a stain, Their fathers bore. Wealth and the high estate of pride, With what untimely speed they glide, How soon depart! Bid not the shadowy phantoms stay, The.vassals of a mistress they, Of tickle heart These gilts in Fortune’s hands ;:r_ found, Her swift revolving wheel turns round, And they are gone ! No rest the inconstant goddess knows, But changing, and without rep jse. Still hurries on. Even could the hand of avarice s:.vr Its gilded baubles, till the grave Reclaimed its prey, Let none on such poor hopes rely; Life, like an empty dream, Cits oy, And where are they ? Earthly desires and sensual lust Are passions springing from the dust— They fade and die ; But, in the life beyond the tomb. They seal the immortal spirit's doom Eternally! The pleasures and delights, which mask In treacherous smiles life’s serious task, What aie they, ail, But the fleet coursers of the clia-e, And death an ambush iu the race, Wherein we fall ? No foe, no dangerous pass, we heed, Brook no delay,—but onward speed With loosened rein; And, when the fatal snare is near, We strive to check our mad career, But strive in vain. Could we new charms to age hnpart, And fashion with a cunning art The human face. As we can clothe the soul with light, Aii-a Uo ginrious snirit bright. With heavenly g r ace,— How busily each passing hour Should we exert that magic power. What ardor show, To deck the sensual slave of sin. Yet leave the freeborn sou! within, In weeds of woe. JltkellaiicGits. A Nice Little Story.—As ple.u- anl a siory as was ever lold is this, regarding an Albany, (N. V.) physician, by a correspondent of the Port Jefferson Independent Press, wriling from New Haven : “An aged widow in Massachu setts received a telegram that her only son was dying in Lawrence, Kansas. Notwithstanding her ex treme age and feeble heahh she must see her son. She undertook the journey. The train was delayed. When it arrived al Utica she was taken violently ill. A young physi cian assisted her to a hotel, and pro vided ever} thing he could for her comfort. Her detention by sickness and moderate means would not al- low her to pursue her j -urney, but i’ 0 -"'fi'* d* dined ihe offer, unless for the kindness ot the attending ?" e WuU ‘V co,ule6 ce»d to make hi Among ihe remarks Judge ment made a. li e recent term of Court at Belfast, Me., he said that “ihe abom inable p aetice of wearing hair on ihc upp: r lip, is reprehensible.” \Yhereupon tiie Belfast Journal re marks llial “there are a great many ladies who agree with the learned Judge. a »d set their faces against them constantly.” A parsimonious sea captain, an* swering the complaints of his men that the bread was bad, exclaimed : “What! complain of your bread that is made from Hour? What do you twiuk of ttte apostles? They ale 'shew bread,’ made front old boots ind shoes.” Chinese Jogglers.—The same nigh! a juggler appeared, who was one of the Great Khan’s slaves, and the amir said to him, “Come and >1 o\v ns some of your wonders !” Upon ibis h.-' took a wooden ball wilh seven holes in it, through which lon^ • hong were passed, and. laying hold ot one ot ihese. slung it into the air. It went so high that we lost sight ot it altogether. (it was the hottest season ot the year, and we were out side in (he middle of the palace cm-:M ) There now remained only c4“y* a thorm iu liie conju- r s hand, and he desired one blTHe hoys w ho assisted him to lay hoi I of t and mount. He .ltd so, climbing by the thorg, and we lost sight of him. The conjuror then called to him ihree times ; but, getting r.o an swer, he snatched up a knife, as if in a great rage, lai I hold of the thong, and disappeared in his turn. By* and-ny tie throw down one of the hoy’s hands, then a toot, then the °lh. r hand and die other foot, then the trunk, and last of all, the head ! Lastly, he came down himself, puff ing and blowing, and with his clothes ail bloody, kissed the ground before the admir, and said something to him in Chinese, The amir gave him some order in reply, and our friend die ti look die lad’s limbs, laid them together in liieir places, and gave a kick, when, presto ! there was the bov, who got up and stood before us! Joshua Barnes.—A lady, who was a great admirer of Joshua Banns, the professor of Greek at Cambridge, retpiesnd leave to settle an hundred a year upon him, after her death. 'Lite professor, however, stranger. He paid her bills, assist ed her to the cars, and accompanied her to Buffalo. At parting she requested his ad dress. Two months later lids stran ger was seated in his office at Alba ny. A stranger entered, and, after some conversation, presented the doctor with a Government bond for 8500, as a reward for his kindness to that old lady, saying : “Site was my mother. She died a few days after reaching me and I recovered. Had it not been for your kindness she would have died on ’.he road, am her son who was sick. 1 am a banker; but money can never repay the debt I owe to you for your gen erous kindness to my dear, good mother. God bless you !” May God bless and tlie world ap plaud such noble acts of lx nevo- lenee as Dr. T. D. Crothers, of Al bany, bestowed on this occasion, and which this old lady’s son so richly rewarded. Curious Custom.—The causes for which a Mahometan woman may demand a divorce are clearly and broadly laid down in the Koran, and her evidence is sufficient, because the Mahometan law supposes that sr woman must be violently aggrieved before the modesty of her sex will allow her to appear in public with such application. So careful is this law to spare her feelings, that she is not even required to recount her in juries, unless of her own free will; all she has to do is place her slipper reversed—that is, with the sole up ward—before the cadi, and the case is finished ; the divorce is granted without further inquiry. appy in her person, which was none of the most engaging. The lady re plied, that she “could ri fuse nothing to Joshua, for whom the sun stood still ;” and they were accordingly soon after married. Work.—“You don’t do work e-. nough to earn your salary,’ 3 said the head of a department in the Custom House to one of his cleiks. “Work!” exclaimed the young man ; “I work ed hard enough to get here; surely you don’t expect me to work now I ?m here.” An exceange says: “One of the prettiest sights the human eye ever rested upon is gold in its liquid stale.” Whereupon another sug gests that “Lhe human eye in this ieimty would be satisfied if it could ee any of the metal in its solid taie. Low Spirits.—Exercise for the body, occupation for the tnind, these are the grand constituents ot health and happiness, the cardinal points upon which everything turns.
