POBTRY. ODE FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY. Tm«, "lift Ihtm an their winding way." From *11 our sunny home* to day, From distant verge of farthest bay, From craggy jieek* that brush lha sky i Are echoing songs at Liberty. And bark l e’en now from off the teas The m lor*a hymn cornea on the broese j Hia native mountain* know the aound r They chant the lay to valleys round, And louder, Inuder peal the notca, And hifberup the anthem float*. How many viaiona of the pnat. To day are flitting thick and fast; Ix>ok out on yonder leniy woods— Again the rrd man swims the floods r Hi* savage whoop is heard once more On rocky cliff and so Jgy shore, • And wpnry with hi* dog and gun He track* the deer from sun tu sun j Hi* frail canoe glide* o'er the stmama, And brightur now his watch-fire gleams. They come, they come, that pilgrim band, On Plymouth's ico-bound coast they land j Thoir midnight cry brood* no die air. And sorrows mingles with their prayer. Press on, press on. yo pioneers, *Tls Ffreedom's hand your light bsrk steers; The spark that in the Mayflower came Is kindling nnw into a flame, And ransomed millions raise the shout, While patriot blood is pouring out. O 'tl* a glorious sight to soo Our nation's standard flying free f That gallant flag this mom unfurled Italian and stripes o’er all the world. And many a deck with rapture rings, As round the mast that banner clings. God of our fathen J shield it well, Till yon blue waves ahaU oease to awrll; Till earth's tali sentries capped with snow, Shall crumblo in the vales below. Prim the Providence Journal.

THE LAST WISH. The celebrated Wu.sun, tho ornithologist, re quested that ho might be buried noar some sunny ■pot, where the bird* would come and sing over his gnve. This wish is most beautifully expressed in tbo fallowing lines. The name of tho author is un known to us t In some wild forest shade, Under some spreading onk, or waving pine, Or old elm, festooned with tho gadding vine, Let mo bo laid. In till* dim, lonely grot, No foot, intrusive, will disturb my dust t But o'er me, songs of tho wild birds shall burst » Choering the spot. Not amid charnel stones On coffins dark, and thick with ancient mould. With tattered pall, and fringe of cankered gold, May rest my bone*. But let the dewy rose, Tho snow-drop and the violet, lend perfume, Abovo the spot, where in my grassy tomb, I take repose. Year after year WitWh the lUvor birch tree o'er me hung, Tho chirping wren shall rear her callow young, Shall build her dwelling near. And ever at the purple dawning of the day Too lark shall chant a pealing eopg above, And tho ebrttl quail, when the eve grows dim and Shall pipe Su k er tynm °f low. . , ,, *b® blackbird and tho thniab, And golden oriole, shall flirt around. And waken, with a mellow gust of sound, The foroat'a solemn hush. Birds from tho distant sea Skafl sometimes hither flock, on snowy wings, And soar above my dust in airy rings, Singing a dirge to me.

Ho had a l-ttlo basket with him, whielt ho opened, and drew out n puff of " Quern Victoria's Family Pills;" this capped the climax of Victurias. I got a box out of pure compnss on, and they, like most other pills, turned out to be it mere shave.
