Aye, and shall meet, to them, for ever I For to the lips their souls had flown, And there these souls were sweetly blended, And souls thus interfused are one _ While bliss endures, when hie is True kisses pass not, but abide; The lips may part, the souls are clinging,— , . .

BY FATHER KTAN. Oat of the silence make me a song, Beautiful, sad and soft and low ; Let the loneliest music sound along And wing each note with a wail oi woe, Dim and drear As hope’s last tear, Out of the silence make me a hymn, Whose souads are shadows sole and dim. Cut of the stillness in your heart— A thousand songs are sleeping there — Make me but one, thou child of art. The song of a hope in a last despair, Dark and low, A chant of woe, Out of the stillness, tone by tone, Soft as a snow-flake, wild as a moan. Out of the darkness flash me a song Brightly dark and darkly bright; Let it sweep as "a lone star sweeps along The mystical shadow of the night, Sing it sweet. Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim, , . rr And earth'songs melt into Heaven s h/.tt i . "spelling. -- It is aa oft observed fact that good speVlers of the English lari' guage are few, In fact it is gener ally agreed that of all languages the .English is not only the most difficult to speak, but the most difficult to write correctly. This is not strange, when it is borno in mind that there is scarcely any rule for spelling the Anglo-Saxon words of the English language, sixty per cent of which is Anglo-Saxon’ To tlmoughiy appreei to the point in question, it is ouly necessary to read the following extract: Spelling is a curious performance after all The arrangeing of letters is anotner curious affair uo man can understand. Who was the tyrant of speech that had the impudence to do mand that while n o spelts no, that flow must be used for flo, and be a u for bo? Why uiU'-t wo hide with one hand and guide with the other, to be taied before a court and then left to subside in prison, to wonder that if ou o spells one, why oneder is not allowable, or that an o is needed more jin prison than in prism. Why put one pin copy and two in sloppy ? and if ropy is cor ceet, why cannot soapy be spelled without an a? We tease the girls, sneeze when taking cold, enjoy a breeze more than we do fleas, eat pease, bond our knees and thus, by degrees, take our ease’ It would be absurd to spell word with u, or to knock the i out of a bird, as all of us have heard, or, at least, inferred ; though, Know —no, we do not know, but Contes* to guess, that some bate demurred when a bullet has whirred at a man who has erred be cause his senses were blurred. Thus write, we know is right, ' (Homier. when we see it written writio ; but wheu we see it written rite, we know j it is not written right: for write, to be written right, must always be ariten write, no matter what rite consumes the double u, so that it need no: b* used in written auy more ttiun iu kitten or bitten.

If a rnun takes aim to kill his game, lie must not maim, or lie’ll lose his name; and it a boy wipes his nose on his clot lies, his reward will be blows, or kicks from toes, and lie will not feel so glorioui as uproari ous. * There are jokes cracked by folks who.never hoax wlhsky-.-oakes, though they weigh all they say on the pin t of an awl,-ft*it were, to wear t heir remarks then and there : ft is rig hr to deprive deepen of an i and put t in our cousin, where it cun out be seen n and risen, even if ,hc prison be a.,- joi ting the inn.

A GUM. The following gem <f oratory wa.- uttered by thsdate Dor. Lan b>n ' .

I have then seen him arouse at midnight, as a giant efreshed by slumber, and cover the heavens witti gloom and darkness; hive seen him awake the tempest; let loose the led lightenings that ran along the uiouii' tain-top for a thousand miles, sw ijiei than an eagle’s flight*in heaven 1 hen I have seen them stand up and dunce like angels of light in the clouL, to the music of that grand organ or na ture, whose keys seemed to have been touched by the fingers ot Divinity in the hall of Eternity, that responded in notes of thunder that resounded through the universe, ihon 1 have seen the darkness drift away beyond the horizon and the morn get up from her saffron bed like a queen put on her robes of light, come forth from tier paiace in the sun, and stand tiptoe on the misty mountain-top, and while night fled from before her glorious lace to his bed chamber at the pole, she lighted the green vale and beautiful river, where I was born and playeo in childhood, with a smile ot sunshine. 0 beautiful land of mountains, witn the sun painted cliffs, how can I ever forget thee!
