POETRY.
A Southern CirPi Lament.
Mamma, they say ’tie Christmas eve,
But tell me, can it be !
It brings no smile upon your fhee,
No merriment to me.
I am wenfy of these snowvcUd hill*,
No longer would I roam:
Oh, take me to the orange grove,
At our deierted hum* !
Our parlor looks so dark to-night;
We have no Christmas trte;
No dainties oB our table spread;
Mamma, bow can It b* ?
Tho grass at home is soft and green;
The skies are bright above,
And little birds sing merrily
Their song* of joy and love.
I long to breathe the pure, fresh air,
To see (hose bright blue skies.
To wander o’er our garden walks,
And chase the butterflies;
I long to see the tall pine trees.
For through their boughs to»day
The wind is sighing mournfully,
Because we stay away.
My child, your simple, artless speech,
Makes tears unbidden start;
The light is dim within onr homss,
Gone out within my heart.
And if across our darkened path
Hope casts a trembling gleam,
‘Tis but the phantom of a joy,
The mockery of a dream.
One promise sweet sustains mi now
T® suffering ones 'tie given;
Tliet they who bear the cross on earth,
Shall wear the crown in heaven.
One gift alone I claim as ours;
Upon the conning morn,
One gift from heaven—a jgtorfous boon
The promised Saviour born.
[Southern Society.
Come, boys. 1 hare something to tell you.
Come near, I would w!neper ;t low—
You are thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't he i» a hurry lo go.
The city has many attractions,
But think of the rices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
llow soon the course downward begins.
Yon talk of the mftiO'Uof Airttrnlin,
They’re wealthy in gold, without doubt,
But »h '. there i* gold on the farm, boys,
If only you’ll shovel it out.
Th* mercantile Ufa ia u hazard.
The goods are first high and then low, ?
Better risk the old farm awhile longer,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The great busy" West has inducement*,
And so has tho busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don't be if*- a hurry to start.
The linkers and brokers are wealthy,
They take Ip their thorn anils or so,
Ah! lldnkor trfa’frauils and ‘deception*, j
Don't be in a tyirry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards aro loaded tosday,
You’re ‘roe as the air Os th* mountains,
And monarch of all jou survey.
Belter stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember yifn’ve sftbTnf to risk, boys,
Don’t be in a hurry to go.

A correspondent jjend* a northern paper
a narrative of a little iocidervt illustfativn
of the spirit of caste too prevalent in al
most pTerv community : V
Durug the scarcity of water tho past
few weeks, theres has been manifested in
our town much of human nature. On one
occasion an invalid widowed mot hep sent
her little daughter to several of her neigh
bors to procure a pail of water, one
refused, She then . told ffle to go to
Mrs. A.'* and explain the necessity,
cially incident To slcWes*, *or their having
water. The child returned, faying.- “Mrs.
A. says she has none to spare and wishes
yon not to trouble her again
The mother, choked with tears said: “If
I were rich she would not relose me. If
Mrs. 13. up town should send there for wa
ter she would get it.”
“1 will prove that!’ - said a lady caller.
Suiting action to word, she donned an aid
shawl and hood, transforming herself into
the real Biddy just over from Ilia old coun
try. Taking a large tin pail in her hand,
jfic was soon at Mrs. A.’s door. '‘An
share can ;sJct Mrs. B. up town have a
pail of water V’
“Are you lief girPr'*”
i • Yes marrn. indada

water any time. ’
i Wbf rcapon Mr?. Aristosiatheisell se red

to Biddy, \vhile a Miss Aristocrncj , stand-1
ing by, remarked with her blandest smile* j
ar.d prettiest falsetto, ‘‘Water tastes bettor I
when there is a scarcity of it!” |
Wherenp'to the oonespcDdent indulged n
some very appropriate reflections a* to
whether the Va< y that drew Urn water had
over ta*tsd of the water that Jesus toldlhe
woman of Samaria to drink of.

A few days since a couple of youths

practicing with a bow and arrow. Our of

by shooting tiie reptile through and lhro'
