Original For the Caesville Standard. Io W. 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. jHkeHamj. li)6 bfoung SLqdy’s Si’eqh) Sooß. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 ? foi* ti?e Mies 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, home love retains only the good There were clouds then, even as now, darkening the horizon of daily life, and breaking tears or wild storms above our heads ; but we re member nothing save the sunshine, and fan cy somehow that he has never shone so bright since ! How little it took to make us happy in those days, aye, and sad also; but it was a pleasant sadness, for we wept only over a flower or a book But let us turn to our first poem ; and in using this term we allude, of course, to the poetry of theidea, ra th* than that of the measure ; the beauty ol which is so often lost to us from a vague feeling that it cannot exist without rhythm But pause and listen first of all, gentle read er, to living testimony of a poet'heart, brim full and gushing over with home love • * There are not, in the unseen world, voices more gentle and more true, that may be more implicitly relied on, or that oouusel, as the voices in which the spirits of the fire side and the hearth address themselves to human kind! 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 yond that of knowing how to put the ques TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR, IN ADVANCE. tions so as to make them apply to all sorts of answers. Let us suppose that the members of a se lect company have been provided with an answer each, and that the interrogator (Charles) questions them as follows : Charles. How do you find your self to day ? Maria. With pepper and vinegar. Charles. Ar e you fond of dancing ? Ellen. On the table. Charles. Are you fond of equestrian exer cise ? Alexander. Trimmed with point lace. Charles. What is your opinion of Tenny son ? Lucy. Hot with sugar, &c. &c. 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. ?oiicij foir Ljoiincj IgMs. 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.
