“I wish I were a boy again !”
Thus wrote a pensive bard,
But ’twas a foolish wish to pen,
Though trouble pressed him hard.
Oh, who to childhood would return,
Repeat his chequered years ;
Once more their rigid lessons learn,
Of turmoil, toil and tears ?
What brighter page would be traced
Within the book of lime ;
What record of wrong words erased—
What deeds show more sublime ?
Alas, the human will is weak
To curb the passion wild ;
Man may not think or act or speak
With nature undefiled.
And should he tread life'a path again,
Not all the garnered lore,
Reaped from the harvests that have been,
Would make him err no more.
The same temptations still would rise
To tempt his fiekle clay,
The same dark clouds obscure the skies,
The same snares fill his way.
And then, as now would he repeat
The follies of the past;
Hurl prudence from its regal scat,
And truth behind him cast.
No ardent longings can repair
The moments fled away ;
i?ut those may be improved with care
That come to us to-day.
They bear adown time’s rushing tide,
Like ships, a precious freight,
That must for weal or woe decide
Men’s everlasting fate.
ARYIEI).
There was onco a boy who want to
Sabbath School regularly, and ho learn- !
ed his ieasons well, so that he had a
great many JBible verses in his mind.
Me was a temperance boy. This boy
was on a steamboat making a journey.
One day as he sat alone on the deck, j
looking down in the water, two ungod
ly men agreed that one should go and
persuade him to drink. So he drew
near the boy and invited him to drink
a glasi of liquor with him.
I thank you sir, laid tho little fellow
but I don't drink liquor.
Never mind my lad ; it will not hurt
you. Come and drink with me.
Wine ii a mocker, strong drink is
raging, and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise, was the boy’s ready
reply-
You need not be deceived by it. I
would not have you drink too much.
A little will do you no harm, and will
make you feel pleasantly.
At last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder, said the boy.
And I feel much safer, and certainly
think it much wiser not to play with
the adders.
Mv fine little follow, said the crafty
man, it will give.great pleasure if you
will eome and drink a glass of wine
with m.
My Bible says, If sinners entice thee,
consent thou not, wag his reply.
That was a stunning blow to the
tempter, and he went back to his com
panion.
Oh the faot is. replisd the man, that
little fellow is so full of the Bible, that
you can’t do anything with niim.
So may it be with all, the young and
old.— [Ex.

An exchange truthfully observes :
Some people, igoorant of what good
editing is, imagine the getting up of
selected matter to be the easiest work
in the world to do, whereas it is the
nicest work done on a newspaper. —
If they see the editor with scissors in
his hand, they are sure to say : "Eh,
that’s the way you are getting up
original matter, eh?" accompanying
their new and witty questions with an
idiodic wink or smile. The facts are
that the interest, the variety and the
usefulness of a paper depend in no
small degree upon the selected matter,
and few men are capable for the posi
tion who would not themselves be able
to write many of the articles they sc*
lect. A sensible editor desires cosid
erable select matter, because he kcows
that one mind cannot make so good a
paper as five or six.

Spanish proverb: Tbe man who
stumbles twice on the same stone is a
fool.
If tbe end of one mercy were not tho
beginning of another we were undone.
Learn to take life as it comes, but
be sure to make the best of it before it
goes.
The wisdom of the wise and the ex
perience of ages may be preserved by
quotations.
The flowers of r’netorio are only ac
ceptable when backed by the ever
greens of truth and sense.
D
It is always safe to learn, even from
our enemies; seldom safe to iustiuct
even our friend#.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
The repentance which cuts off all
moorings to evil demands something
more than selfish fear.
We carry all our neighbor’s crimes
in the light, and throw allour # own over
our shoulder.
Youth is the tassel and silken flower
of life; age is the full corn, ripe and
solid in the car.
Pleasure is the mere accident’of our
being, and work its natural and most
holy necessity.
It is an admitted fact that man who
use their brains live longer, other
things being equal, than those who do
not.
What must be shall be, and that
which is a him that strug
gles is little more than a choice to him
that is willing.
Honor is but the reflection of a man’s
own action, shining bright in the face
of all about him, and from thence rc°
bounding upon himself.
We never know the true value of
f.hnds. While they live wc are too
sensitive to their faults; when no have
1 i:t them we only sco their virtues.
A good conscience i3 an excollent
thing, and so, too. is a winsome man
ner It shoo Id be carefully cultivated.
When frankness, becomes rudeness it
should be properly obecked.
Re independent; don’t hang around,
snd wait for somebody else to go ahead.
Break your own path. Don’t put off
to-day’s work uutil to-morrow in hopes
that it will be done for you.
Bear in mind the solemn and stu
pendous truth that you are preparing
for eternity, and act in such a way that
you may not fear to hava tho sunlight
of eternity stream full upon all your
finished deeds.
At one of Mr. Moody’s meetings,
a minister related the following
incident ;
I was holding a mission in a
colliery district, and in the course
of the morning, when I was invit-.
ing people to the evening meeting,
I knocked at a door and found a
woman at a washing tub, I said to
her ; I call to tell you I am hold
ing mission service at such and
such a church; will you and your
family join us? Chapel, she said ;
I am up to my eyes in washing.—
I have three black men coming in,
and there’s that wringing-machine,
I gave fifty shillings for it, and it’s
broken the first round. She was
in a towering passion and I thought
I would not say any more to her,
so I looked at the machine and
found it was not broken, but had
only slipped out of gear; I set it
right, and then said; Now you
have been hindered, so I’ll just
take a turn at the wringing. So I
went to work, —turn, turn, turn.
At last she looked up and said, 1
Whero did you say the chapel was? .
I told her. She said I’ll tell my
husband to night, and wo II come.
That woman was saved, and her
husband and all the family, and she
becamo the best worker in the
village, and there was a blessed
awakening in that place. She wont
from house to house saying, Come
and hear the minister; it’s he as
men Jed the machine.—[Ex. i

Together they lio on the lonely plain,
In driving sleet and in drenching rain,
When nights are dark in the dreary pines,
Or hushed and solemn the moonlight shines.
The selfsame flowers above them wave,
The same birds chirrup from grave to grave.
And tlic sunshine sweet is tho same that is
shedj
By the gracious Giver on both the dead.
Now that the battle, the rage is o’er,
They sleep in peace, they aro foes no more.
One had his birth in the North afar,
Where moan the firs to the midnight star.
There, at the foot of the gray old liilt.
Ilia widowed mother awaits him still.
Husband, and daughters, and sons are
gone,
Stricken and broken, she watches alone ;
Daily she goes to the time-worn door
To look for her youngest, who comes no
mot e,
For the tall, straight form, and tho fair
proud head,
That have lain for years with tho nameless
dead.
One had his home where the rice-fields
blow,
And dark Palmettos their fan-leaves show.
Ilis bride, liis darling, the wife of ft day,
lias watched and prayed till her hair is
gray;
But never a line has she had to tell
If he died at onee where he fought and fell,
Or lingered forgotten, in sun and rain,
Through nights of fever and days of pain.
Alas ! no voice from the dead can come
To that broken-heart, to that widowed
home.
Together (hey lie on the lonely plain,
Never to struggle, or suffer again 1
And they sleep so calm, in a peace so deep,
They do not know their loved ones weep.
They have gone to a land where the rush
and roar
And thunder of battle are heard no moro.
The snows may drive, and tho winds may
rave.
The rains beat wild on each nameless grave,
But they heed no sounds from the angiy
past,
Together—as brothers—they sleep at last.

Uviiix to Purpose.
Live for some purpose in the
worM. Act your part well. Fill
up the tneasuro of your duty to
others. Conduct yourself so that
you shall be missed with serrow
when you are gone. Multitude*
of your epooies are living in such
a selfish manner that they are not
likely to be reraemberod after
their disappearance. They leave
behind them scarcely any trace of
their existence, but aro forgotten
almost as though they had rot
bean. They are, while they live,
like one pebble lying unobserved
among a million on the shore ; and
when they die, tbsv are like the
same pebble thrown into the sea,
which just ruffles the surface,sinks
and is forgotten, without being
.missed from the beach. They are
neither regretted by the rich,
wanted by the poor nor celebrated
iby the learned. Who has been
jthe better for their life? Who has
'been the worse for their death?
Whose tears nave they dried up?
Whoge wants supplied? Whose
miseries have they bealsd ? Who
would unbar the gates of life to
readmit them to existence ? Or
what face would greet them back
again to our world with a smile ?
Wretched, unproductive mode of
existence ! Selfishness is its own
curse: it is a starving vice. The
man who does no good, gets none.
He is like the heath in the desert,
neither yielding fruit nor seeing
when good coroetb; a stunted,
dwarfish, miserable shrub.—Ex.

The legaDd of the Cherokee rose is
as pretty as the flower itself. An In
dian Chief of tbo Seminole tribe was
taken prisoner by his enemies, the
Cberokees, and doomed to torture, but
became eo seriously ill that it became
necessary to wait for his restoration to
health before committing him to the
fire. And as he lay prostrate by dis
ease in the cabin of the Cherokee vrar
ior, the daughter of the latter, a young
rdark faced maid, was his nurse. She
fell in love with the youDg chieftaiD,
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA LIBRARY
and, wishing to save his life, urged
him to escape; but he would not do so
unless she would flee with him. She
consented. Yet before she had gone
far. impelled by soft regret at leaving
homo, she asked permission of her lov
er to return home for tho purpose ol
bearing away some memento of it. On
retracing her footeteps, she broke a
twig from tho white rose which climb
ed up the pole of her father's tent and
preserved it during her flight through
the wilderness, and planted it by the
door of her new homo in the land of
the SeminoUs. And from that day
this beautiful flower has been known
between the capes of Florida and
throughout tho Southern States by the
name of the Cherokee rose.
Tlic Law olTiewspancrJi.
It is an unwritten law well under

for his aeccptanoe or non-acceptance ol
