Give back my twentieth spring! I’d rather laugh a bright-haired boy Than reign a gray-haired king! Off with the wrinkled spoils of age! Away with learning’s crown ! Tear out life’s wisdom written page, And dash its trophies down ! One moment let my life blood stream From boyhood's fount-of-tlame! Give me one giddy, reeling dream, Of life all lovo and fame ! My listening angel heard the prayer, And, calmly smiling, said: “If I but touch thy silvered hair, Thy hasty wish had sped.” “But is there nothing in thy track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swift seasons hurry back To find the wished-for end 1” Ah, truest soul of womankind ! Without thee, what were lite 1 One bliss I cannot leave behind— I'll take—my—precious—wife ! The angel took a sapphire pen, And wrote in rainbow dew : “The man would be a boy again, And be a husband, too!” ‘ And is there nothing yet unsaid, Before the change appears?” Remember, all their gifts have fled With those dissolving years !” Why, yes ; for memory would recall My fond parternal joys; I could not bear to leave them all; I’ll take—my—girl—and—boys! The smiling angel dropped his pen— “Why this will never do; The man would be a boy again, Aud be a father, too!” And so I laughed—my laughter woke The household with its noise— And wrote me dream, when morning broke, To please the gray-haired boys. STARS AYD FLOWERS. BY O. W. HOLMES. When Eve had led her lord away. And Cain had killed his brother, The stars and flowers, the poets say, Agreed with one another, To cheat the cunning tempter’s art, And teach the race its duty, By keeping on its wicked heart Their eyes of light and beauty. A million sleepless lids they say, Will be at least a warning; And so the flowers would watch by day, The stars from eve to morning. On hill and prairie, field and lawn, Their dewy eyes upturning, The flowers still watch from reddening dawn Till western skies are burning. Alas ! each hour of daylight tells A tale of shame so crushing, That some turn white as sea-bleached shells, And some are always blushing. But when the patient stars look down On all their light discovers, The traitor's smile, the itfKrderer’s frown, The lips of lying lovers ; They try to shut their saddening eyes, And in the vain endeavor We see them twinkling in the skies, And so they wink forever. Yo Gloom at Home. Above all things there should be no gloom in the home. The shadows of dark discontent and wasting fretfullness should never cross the thresh- hold throwing their large black shapes like funer al palls, over the happy young spirits there. If you will, your home shall be heaven, and every inmate as an angel there. If you will, you shall sit on a throne and be the presiding housholde die- ty O! faithful wife, what privileges what treas ures, greater or purer than thine. Aud let the husband strive to forget his care as he winds around the long narrow street and be holds the soft light illuminating his parlor, spread ing its precious beams on the red pave before it.— The night is cold and cheerless, perhaps; and the December gust battles with the worn skirts of his overcoat, and snatches with a rude hand and wail ing cry at the rusty hat that lias served him many a year. He has been harrassed, perplexed and persecuted.—He has borne.with many a cruel tone, many a cold word, and nerved himself up to en ergy so desperate that his frame and spirit are weakened and depressed; and now his limbs ache .with weariness; his temples throb with the pain- Deat caused by too constant application; he scarce ly knows how to meet his wife with a pleasant smile, or sit down cheerfully to their little meal which she has provided with so much care. But the door is opened, the overcoat thrown off. A sweet voice tells upon his ear like a winged an gel, it flies right into his bosom, and nestles a- gainst his heart. The latch is lifted and tho smiliug face of his wife gives an earnest welcome. The shini lg hair is smoothed over her fair brow; indeed she stole a little coquetish glance at the mirror hanging iu its narrow frame just to see if she looked neat and pretty before she came out. Her eye beams with love, her dress is tastful—and—what? Why! ho forgets all the trials of that long, long day, as ho folds her in his arms and imprints a Kiss upon her brow. A home where gloom is banished, presided over by one who has learned to rule herself and her houshold. Christianity—oh! he is thrice consoled for all his trials. He cannot be unhappy, that sweetest, best, dearest solace is his—a cheerful home. Do you wonder that the man is strength ened anew for to-morrow’s cares? Personal Appearance of John Hancock. One who saw John Haneock in 1782, relates that he had the appearance of advanced age. Ho had been repeatedly and severely afflicted with tho gout: probably owing in part, to the custom of drinking punch, a common practice in the high .circles’ in those days. As recollected at this time Gov. Hancock was nearly six feet in height, and apparently enfeebled by disease. His manners were very gracious, of the old styles of dignified complaisance.—His face had been very handsome. Dress was adopted quite as much to be ornamen tal as uselull. Gentlemen wore wigs when abroad and commonly caps when at home. At this time about noon Hancock was dressed in a red velvet cap, within which was one of due Unen. 'The later turned up over the lower edge"of the velvet one, two or three inches. He wore a blue, damask gown, lined with silk, a white stock, a white satin embroidered waistcoat black satin small clothes, white silk stockings, and red morocco slippers. It was a general practice, in genteel families, to have a tankard of punch made in the morning, and placed iu a cooler, when the season required it. At this visit, Hancock took from the cooler stand ing on the hearth a full tankard, and drank first himself, and then offered it to those present. His equipage was splendid, aud such as is not custo mary at thia day. His apparel was sumptuously embroidered with gold, silver lace, and other dec orations fashionable among men of fortune of that period: and rode especially upon public occasions with six beautiful bay horses, attended by servants in livery. He wore a scarlet coat, with raffles on his sleeves, which soon|became the prevailing fash ion; and it is related of Dr. Nariian Jacques, the famous pedestrian of West Newbury, that he paced all the way to Boston in one day, to procure cloth fora coat fikethat of John Hancock and returned with it under his arm on foot. There are four ladies in the Utah^mili- tary expedition against the Mormons. They are Mr^. Gov. Cummings, Mrs. Col.Canby, Mrs. Tyler, and Mrs. Burns. Mrs. Cum mings froze one of her feet while crossing the mountains.
