WiA cautious atep as we tread our wa-v
through
This intrinsic world, as other folks do.
May wo still on our journey bo able to view
The benevolent face of a dollar or two.
For an excellent thing is a dollar or two,
No friend is so*rue as a dollar or two ;
Through country or town as we may pass
up and down*
No passport so good as a dollar or two.
Would you read yourself out of a Bachelor
- i Sr’ if <r#w ’
And the hand of a female divine wish to sue?
You must always be ready the handsome to
do, <
Although it should cost you a dollar or two;
Love's sorrows are tipped with a dollar
or two,
And affections are gained by a dollar or
two.
The best aid you can meet is advancing
your suit
f the eloquent chink of a dollar or two.
Weald you wish your existence
to imbue,
And enroll in the ranks of the
few 1
To enjoy a good name and a well cushioned
pew,
You must freely come down with a dollar
or two.
The gospel is preached for a dollar or
two,
The salvation is reached fora dollar or
two*
You may sin some at times, but the worst
of all crimes
Is to find yourself short of a dollaror two.

Walk laden heavily.

AFFECTION.
There is a thing for which we yearn ;
To which all manhood's thoughts are
prone ;
We strive forever till we earn—
Until we have it all our own.
’Tis meet that all should feci its chain,
And taste the pleasure of its joys ;
We each and all can it obtain.
And blest is he who it enjoys.
It bids us live anew our life.
And binds around the pleasing thrall.
It cheers us up ‘mid din and strife ;
It is our hope—our life—our all.
Without it what would manhood he?
A nameless and despairing drone !
No hope we’d have; no end we’d see;
We’d live forever all alone.
It gnides'iis in ambition’s stream ;
It is the polar star to man ;
’Tis woman’s faith; ’tis tnaidens’s dream;
And all embrace it when they can.
But what is this—this maiden's
This guide, this hope, this polar slat"*- •
Affectiou! yes, ’tis that doth beam,
With heavenly radiance from afar.
the Lock of hair.
She loved me well whose precious head
This cherished ringlet bore ;
Yet there will come a time, I dread,
When she will love no more;
A thousand chances will occur,
Her kindness to estrange.
This little lock is all of her
That time can never change f
And when the lip that once 1 press’d,
To me no smile will give,-
This ringlet on uiy lonely breast
Shall bid some comfort live ;
And when some h ippier heart shall bless
The love I must resign
How will I prize this linle tress,
Unaltered still, and mine!
