I’m sitting on the school step, Mat,
Where we sat long ago,
With the strength ot love, warm in our hearts,
In sight of the diamond shore.
The road looks clear and white, Mat,
With the sand of other days;
And the tall oak trees are sighing,
To the “school girl’s”joyous lays.
The history chart lies open, Mat,
And closely gathering ’round;
We smiling trace, the winding paths,
Upon its colored ground.
Our lovely “ Dos” sits near us, Mat,
With her “cheek and brow so fair;”
With her soft brown eyes so full of love,
And the wild rose in her hair.
Kind eyes are looking on us, Mat,
And a heart all brave and bold,
Stands watching near to love and guard
The Hedgings of his fold.
##**•***
I’m sitting on the school step, Mat,
Where we sat long ago,
But the “ vale of tears” is there, instead
Os hope’s bright jewelled shore.
The road looks clear and white, Mat,
But other feet now tread
Upon the well loved sacred ground,
Made holy by the dead.
Go ask the mourning willow, Mat,
Where “ lovely Dos” is laid,
It’ll answer thee with weeping,
Upon her lowly grave.
And near the old oak tree, Mat,
Where we sang to the morning skies,
’Neath a staff of peace and a “ grassy mound,”
Our darliDg teacher lies.
Oh! I have knelt aud prayed, Mat,
To tell him once again,
Os all the bitter tears I’ve wept,
O’er acts that gave him pain.
He never more may hear us, Mat,
But if a heart’s deep love
May claim forgiveness from the skies,
I ask his from above.
* * # * * * *
I’ve sat upon the school step, Mat,
In memory’s truthful glass,
And watched the mournful changes
That years wrought as they’d pass.
Bright by gone days flit by m .', Mat,
And hours too brightly spent;
And hopes and fears of girlhood years,
Aud joys that childhood lent.
My eyes are full of tears, Mat.
And as they blinding fall—
I think I hear thy clear soft voice,
That’s left to me of all.
Ah ! many other visions, Mat,
Often beguile me, too,
But none appear so sweet, so dear,
As those that “girlhood ” knew.
May God forever bless thee, Mat,
And when life’s dream is o’er,
Enfold thee in His home of rest,
To weep and change no more. Shana.

In compliance with the wish expressed in
several hundreds of charming and flattering
notes, with which a corresponding number
of lady correspondents have been favoring
Mr Punch ever since the Pocket Book be
came one of the institutions of our happy
country, he has caused to ba prepared the
following Dreamer's Manual, or complete
and faithful Exposition of Dreams and Vi
sions. It has been carefully collated with
all the most popular works of the same char
acter, to which it will be found to bear re
markable affinity, and several new dreams
have been added by the editors, who arrang
ed express night-mares for this work exclu
sively, and regardless of indigestion. The
following pages, into which is concentrated
an incredible amount of Dream Lore, will
now be the standard authority on the sub
ject, and no lady's dressing table can be
considered as properly furnished unless Mr.
Punch's Dream Book reposes between the
ring stand and the Eau de Cologne.
Aztecs. To dream of these repulsive ob
jects, signifies that you will be exposed to
the impertinence of some quack or other,—
To dream that you kiss the wretched little
creatures implies that you have indeed been
reduced to extremities.
Ant Eater. To drenm you were taken to
see it means that you will soon be invited to
dinner with your cousins. The dream is,
therefore, good or bad, according to the
terms on which you arc with your relatives.
Adelphi. To dream that you go there is
lucky; and if you dream that the Green
Bushes was performed, it foretells that your
life will be an everlasting peace.
Brighton. The dream of a visit to, means
that your prospects aro going to brighten,
and that you may set your mind upon a Peer.
Baby To drfeam that you, being single,
are affectionately carressiug oue in the pre
sence of Frederic, implies that you are a
prudent girl, and will ere long meet your
reward. -
Cheswick Fete. To dream of implies anew
bonnet at least.
Chobham . To dream of the Camp at,
clearly shows that though the Captain has
forgotten you, your heart is more faithful,
which is comforting.
Crystal Palace. To dream that you at
tend the inauguration of, is a dream you
will do well to tease your papa to carry out.
If you dream that Sir Joseph Paxton pre
sents you with a bunch of orange flowers,
you will be married in 1865 ; so mind what
you are about, dear.
| Dancing. To dream you are, is fortunate,
but if in the polka your awkward partner
tramples on your toes, or tears your dress,
j and you only smile forgivingly, you will
have, and deserve, an excallent partner for
life.—Apply at 86, Flset Bte*t.
Dreams. To dream that you are telling
’ your dreams (unless it is to Mr, vnch),
1 implies that your mind is scarcely so well
“PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.”
cultivated as it ought to be, and that the
Sooner you begin a course of reading, the
better for your present or future husband.
Engaged. To dream you are, and have
lost the ring Frederic gave you, is not the
slightest consequence, even if fulfilled liter
ally. Ask him for anew one and a prettier,
tnd you will get it.
Flirting. To dream you ire, especially in
iconservatory, or at the Botanic Gardens,
is fortunate; but to dream that you do so
upon a staircase with the window on the
landing and the street doors both open, du
ring the party, is bad, unless he fetches you
a shawl or something.
Ghost. To dream you see a ghost is a s ; gn
you will be gratified, unless it be the Ghost
in Hamlei with Mr. Charles Kean as the
Prince of Denmark.
Garter. To dream you marry a Knight
of the, means that you will soon have a per
fect love of a blue ribbon.
Greenwich or Blackwall. To dream of a
dinner at, and dear Frederic helping you to
whitebait, and handing the brown bread and
butter, means that dear Frederic isover-run
ning the constable, and will soon have to ask
dear papa for a cheque. So you had better
keep the old gentleman is good humor.
House of Commons. To dream you are
in the gallery of, means that you talk when
you should be silent, and interrupt business
with your nonsensical chattering This re
fers to lady visitors to Parliament; but if a
man dreams that he is in the body of the
House, the observation most likely applies
to him also. Mention it to any gentleman
of a political turn.
Home. To dream you are happy at, and
try to make it happy, signifies that you are
a darling, and we should like your address.
Incense. To dream that it is offered to
you, aud that you are pleased, is not good ;
but if you turn up your mental noso at it,
while looking aimable, the remark under
the preceding head will do again.
Jewelry. To dream that you are covered
with, is good, but if you suddenly discover
that the jewels are only paste, some Jew is
trying to cheat some gentleman who is or
will be very dear to you.
Kiss. To dream that you have the > Ama
zon and the Tiger ’ presented to you, and
that it cannot be got into the drawing room,
predicts an embarrassment which need not
be described until the dream occurs—then
write to us.
Letter. To dream that you receive, and
that it is crossed and recrossed, means that
spills are wanted lor the parlour mantle
piece.
Mont Blanc. To dream of, means that
you are very fond of sweetmeats, especially
of Albert Rock.
Moustaches. To dream of, if the wearer
be under forty, is good If he le over that
age, be warned; he is a traitor of the deep
est dye.
Married. See Money.
Music To dream you The luck
depends on the composer. If Mendelssohn
or Auber, you are to be congratulated—if
Henry Russell or the cats in the next, gar
den, the sooner you wake the better.
Money. To dream a magnificent young
nobleman offers you a bag of, and a wed
ding ring, is bad, because probably you will
be disappointed. To dream that somebody is
teaching you decimals, and making pretty
little jokes to you about ascents,” m7/e
pardons,” and so forth, with appropriate ac
tion, portends that you will tell Frederic
not to be so silly. But he will.
Name. To dream you cannot remember
your, means that you desire to change it,
and, if for the better, wc hope you will.
Opera. To dream you visit, aud Frederic
talks to you all the time, denotes that he
and you are very sensible young people,
especially if Pietro ill Grande or Jessonda
is being performed. If your bouquet falls
over into the pit, and is picked up by a very
handsome man, who presses it to his waist
coat, you are a coquette, and we shall tell
Frederic.
Punch. To dream you see Air. Punch is
the most fortunate thing, except one (which
is actually seeing him), that could happen
to you. If he smiles upon you. which, if you
are pretty, it is probable he will, look for
ward to a happy and prosperous life. If he
frown, examine your whole conduct, and
immediately reform any thing likely to dis
please him. If you are in any doubt as to
the subject, write to him frankly, and also
legibly.
Queen. To dream your queen is taken at
chess denotes that you will soon have a mate.
Rhinoceros. To dream that you are seat
ed in a silver car on the back of a, with
Prince Albert holding a brown gingham um
brella over you, and Mr Harley and the
Lord Chancellor stewing sugar plumbs in
your way, and that thus you go riding
to., St. Paul's to deposit in triumph a gold
etJ'brochet-hook and a raspberry tart, means
that Frederic’s salary will be raised one
third, that his uncle will furnish the house,
and that his dear old mamma will present
yiuwith such a dinner and break fist ser
vice. But you will be very lucky to dream
this dream in the exact order required.
Rudeness. To dream Miat you lave recei
ved any, infalibly indicates that you have
been in society where you had no business
to be, and most likely without yofr frionds’
knowledge. ,
Sleep. To dream you go to, if before XII,
is good. Later, not 60 good, anil denotes
that you are allowed to go to too niany par
ties a great deal.
Tea. To dream that you make,!but can
see but very few spoons, means tha) almost
all the young men at your next pasty will
bo very agreeable—proDably your mamma
has been inviting the writers in Punch.
Unicorn. To dream that you are irorried
by a, denotes that Frederic will take to the
key-bugle, rather to the disturbance of your
domestic peace.
Veil. To dream you are taking the, means
that you will do a sensible thing, when you
walk out at Ramsgate, for the sea breezes,
though healthy, make the face a little rough.
To dream Cardinal Wiseman offers you one,
and that Frederic bonnets his Eminence, de
notes that Frederic is also a wise man.
Wedding. To dream that you aro at your
own, and that you cannot manage to utter
the word obey, on which Frederic walks out
of the church, indicates that fortune is very
kind, and gives you a hint which you will
do well to consider.
Xerxes. To dream that you are, and that
you are lashing the sea into a foam, denotes
that you do not pay sufficient attention to
you mamma's instruction about whipping the
syllabubs and trifles. Now, as Frederic
likes these things—need we say more to a
girl who means to make home happy ?
Yellow. To dream that you look, denotes
that not only Emma Vernon, but even that
dowdified Rosanna Brown will have new
dresses and mantles at the picnic on Tues
day. and you will go in that odious old bon
net. But if the yellow seems to come off, it
means that Frederic will take no notice of
the bonnet, and will tell you as you walk
away together to look at some particular
view he pretends to recollect, that you look
prettier than you ever did in your life, So
save your money, there's a good girl to pay
your milliner’s bill.
Zebra. To dream you see, means that
Frederic has gone and bought himself such
a lovely striped waistcoat, just because you
said you liked the pattern. Isn’t he a dear ?

Married Life —The following beauti
ful and true sentiments are from the pen of
that charming writer, Fredrika Bremer,
whose observations might well becomes rules
of life, so appropriates are they to many of
its phases;—* Deceive not one another in
small things nor in great. One little sin
gle lie has before now, disturbed a whole
married life, a small cause has often great
consequences. Fold not the arms together
and sit idle. Laziness is the devil’s cush
ion.’ One’s own hearth is of more worth
than gold Mauy a marriage, my friends,
begins like tb© rosy morning, and then falls
away like a snow-wreath. And why, my
friends ? Because the married pair neglect
to be as well pleasing to each other after
marriage as before. Endeavor always, my
children, to please one another ; but at the
same time keep God in your thoughts Lav
ish not all your love on to-day, for remem
ber that marriage has its to-morrow like
wise, and its day after to morrow, too
Spare, as one may say, fuel for the winter.
Consider, my daughters, what the word life
expresses. The married woman is the hus
band's domestic faith; in her hand he must
be able to confide house and family ; be able
to entrust to her the key of his heart, as
well as the key of his eating-room. His
honor and his home are under her keeping
—his well-being in her hand. Think of
this ! And you. sons, be faithful husbands,
and good fathers of families. Act so that
your wives shall esteem and love you.’
Home Love --Home love ha> a sweet
poetry of its own, created out of the simplest
materials, and haunting, more or less, the
secret recesses of every human heart ; or
rather, it is divided into a thousand separ
ate poems, full of individual interest, and
little, quiet touches of feeling, and golden
recollections, interwoven with-our very be
ing—common things, hallowed and made
beautiful by the spell of memory and associ
ation ; and owing all their glory to the halo
of their own fond affection. The eye of a
stranger rests coldly on such revelations;
their simple pathos is hard to be understood;
and they smile oftentimes at the quaintness
of those passages which make others weep
With the beautiful instinct of true affection,

Cross Purposes.— This Game is a decid
ed improvement on conversation cards, as
giving employment to a larger number ot
players, and being less troublesome in prep
uration.
Each player furnishes his neighbor with
an answer, after the fashion of the hidden
word,— one of the party stands at a little
distance, bo as not to over hear what is said
The office of this isolated individual (all
the answers being arruuged) is to come for
ward and address the question in turn to
each player, who is bound to answer what has
been confided to him by his neighbor. The
result is often highly amusing.
This game offers no difficulty whatever be

tions so as to make them apply to all sorts
of answers.
Let us suppose that the members of a se

answer each, and that the interrogator
(Charles) questions them as follows :
Charles. How do you find your self to

Maria. With pepper and vinegar.
Charles. Ar e you fond of dancing ?
Ellen. On the table.
Charles. Are you fond of equestrian exer

A Husband. —* My friend,’ says the Fam
ily Herald, • You will never realize your
beau-ideal of a husband in this world Ii
must be a poor imagination that does not far
transcend the real. Fancy is always in ad
vance ; reality jogs on behind. But even a
perfect man, such as you describe him.
would be a bit of a nuisance : so noble and
so intelligent and pure, we less favored men
might complain that nature has been too
bountiful to this fellow and treated us rath
er shabbily ; we might even conspire against
him and do for him; so perhaps it is quite
as well to take a real man, after all—a man
like the rest of us, without any superhuman
or inhuman pretensions—a mixture of
strength and weakness, good and evil—one
of Eve’s own sons—the best sort of husband,
after all Marry the ideal husband in the
ideal world, and the real husband in the real
world.’
Ladies on Horseback. —ls there is on
earth a more fascinating and bewitching
sight than a lovely woman iu the drawing
room or boudoir, it is that same lovely wo
man—or, in fact, any other lovely woman—
on horseback ; taking it for granted, of
course, that she knows how to ride, nnd sits
upon the coble animal, prou l of its glorious
burden, like a muse taking an airy stroll
through ether upon the back of Pegasus,
and not shivering and shrinking at every
step, like a wooden doll, fearful of falling
to pieces. Female equestrianism is one of
the most exquisite luxuries of a high state
of civilization : an exercise in which every
source of healthful and pleasurable emotion
is brought into play, not only for the mo
ment, but in all the movements and occupa
tions of the body, and undulating beauty of
the female form in all its ravishing aud in
toxicating perfection. So says the Philadel
phia Times, and we say, Amen.

It is said n there is policy in taking ad
vantage of circumstances and turning them
to the accomplishment of those objects one
wishes to secure. Pol cy is therefore neces
sary for those young ladies who wish to se
cure good husbands. But the po icy which
most of them pursue is exceedingly erroneous
—they seem to think that it is degrading to
them to be seen in any ordinary dress about
their household affairs. But this is the vory
condition in which every young man, who's
worth securing, would prefer to find them
if he were seeking a wife. A foolish simper
ing fop, who is more indebted to his tailor
and barber, for importance, than to his
brains, may wish to find young ladies dress
ed in silk and shut up in the parlor like
dolls in a show-case. But a sensible man
wants a wife who knows something and can
make herself useful. A judicious writer ad
vises all young men to seek their companions
for life from the class who are willing to he
found in the kitchen without inakiug apolo
gies for it. This is sage advice, and if young
ladies were aware that those young men who
are worth their seeking generally act upon
it, and had rather find them at the wash tub
than weeping over *the last new novel,’
they would not run away from their work
and hide when a young man is approaching
the house, as they ofteu do. The would let
him know they are worth something more
than mere playthings—that they are not

A “Slhio.ge
His name was Strange. Many will think
his conduct was strange also He was a
zealous preacher and a sweet singer. Noth
mg gave him so much pleasure as to go a
bout the country preacliit g and singing. A
benevolent gentleman, weil off in worldly
gear, desiring to make him and his family
comfortable in their declining years, gener
ously presented him a title dyed for three
hundred and t wenty acres of laud. Btinng#
accepted the donation which thankiuluess,
md went his way, preaching and singing aa
ae went. But alter a few months he re
iurued, aLd requested his generous friend to
take back the title deed. Surprised at th
request, the gentleman inquired :
. Is there atiy flaw in it ?’
• Not the slightest.’
. Is not the land good ?’
. First rate.’
. Isn't it healthy }’
• Nou# more so.’
> Why, tlieu, do you wish me to take it
oack ? It will be a comfortable home for
you when you grow old, and something for
your wife and children should you be taken
away.*
‘ Well, 111 tell you. Ever since I've had
that deed, I'vo lost my enjoyment iu singing.
I can t sing my favorite hymn with a good
conscience any longer.’
‘ What is that ?’
. Thie—
‘No foot ufland do I possess,
No cottage iu the wilderness,
A poor waytaring man.
I dwell awhile in tent.- below,
Or gladly wam’er to a: and fro,
’Tiil I my Cannaau gain.
Yonder’s my house aud portion Y i •,
My treasure and my heart ~ru th. t ,
And my abiding home.’
There,’ said Strange,. I’d rather sing that
hymn than own America. 11l tru t the
