•Till good, became More universal;
If Custom, g?ay with ages grown,
lfad fewer blind men to adore it
If talent shone
In Truth alone.
The werld would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things—
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To iusolate their kindly feelings;
If men, when Wrong beats down Right,
Would strike together and restore it—
If Right made Might
In every fight.
The world would be the better for it.
Oh, they are precious to my heart,
My chosen friends, the few
Who guard me with affections's eye,
Who blame and bless me too;
Whose hearts keep echoiug loudly back,
In lov’s eternal tone,
The joys, the hopes, the thoughts, the tears,
That tremble iu my toue.
To meet the sweet confiding smiles.
Bright with affection’s dew,
To feel that I am with the meek,
The pure in heart, the true!
To look into their earnest eyes,
Where thoughts the purest dwell—
Au angel’s harp on angel’s tongue,
Alone such bliss can tell;
And oh, when abseut, how I lore
To call to mind the past,
To count o'er every word they spake
Before we parted last;
To gather up each look or tone,
And number every smile,
TUI 1 am lost amid the gems
That gleam on memory’s isle.
My friends, they are not many, yet
I know their hearts are true—
Ah, sweeter than the praise of all
Is friendship from the few ?
I’d rather live in kindred hearts,
To glory quite unknown,
Than hold a nation iu command.
Than fill a friendless throne.
And e’en if some should turn aside,
And charge, as friends have done,
They should not perish from my heart,
Oh no, uot one! not one!
Love is too mighty in my soul
To wear oblivion's pall;
And if 1 had a thousand hearts
I’d love, aye, with them all.
THE WIFE’S REPLY.
Thou askest me what offerings bright
From climes beyond the 9ea.
Thou may’st collect with loviug pride,
To lavish upon me ?
I seek not costly gems to grace
My brow .’ thou say’st ’tis fair—
And if it be, why. love, should I
Thy glance with jewels share?
Why speakest thou of Orient pearls
To lay upon my breast?
1 have a treasure dearer far,
Aud fitter there to rest;
Thy child and mine my bosom claims.
Thereon repose to seek,
And all the pearls the ocean bides
Are worthless near his cheek.

|J|W A THRILLING SKETCH
Wmany years since a young mar
gggfV couple frem the fair ‘fast anchor*
m isle/ sought our shores with the
r most sanguine anticipations of prosper
ity and happiness. They had begun to
realize more than they had seen in the
1 visions of hope, when in an evil hour,
the husband was tempted, to ‘look
upon the wine when it was red,’ and
i to tast of it ‘when it gives color in the
i cup.* The charmer fastened around
i its victim all the serpent spells of its
s sorcery, and he fell, and at every step
‘ of his rapid degredation from the man
i to the brute, and downward, a heart
: l ßtring broke out in the bosom of his
companion.
Fianlly, with the last spark of hope
flickering on the alter of her heart, she
threaded her way iifto one of those
shambles where a man is made such
thing as beast of the field would bellow
at. She pressed her way through
the Bacchanalian crowd who were
revelling there in their own ruin.
With her bosom full of that perilous
stuff that presses upon the heart, she
stood before the plunderer of her hus
bands destiny and exclaimed in tones
of startling anguish, ‘Give me back my
husband.
‘There’s your husband/ said the
man as he pointed to the prostrate
wretch.
•That my husband!’ What have
you done with him ?’ That my hus
band f What have you done to that
noble form/ that once like a giant oak,
held its projecting shade over the frag
ile vine that clung to it for support and
shelter? That my husband-! With what
torpedo chill have you sinews of that
manly arm ! That my husband ! What
have you done to that once noble brow,
which he wore high among his fel
ows as if he bore the superscription of
Godhead ] That my husband ! What
lave you done to that eye, with which
le was won’t to ‘look erect on heaven,
and see in his mirror the image of his
God. What Egyptain drug have you
poured into his brains and turned the
pure fountains of his heart into black
and burning pitch ? Give me back
my husband! Reserve your basilisk
spells, and give back that man that
stood with me by the altar.’
The rumseUer, ever since the first
demijohn of that burning liquid was
open on our shores, has been saluted
at every stage of the traffic with just
such appeals as these. Such wives such
widows and mothers, such fatherless
children as never mourned in Israel at
the massacre of Bethlehem, or at the
burning of the temple, have cried in
his ears, morning, night, and evening.
Give me back my husband !—Give me
back my boy !—Give -me back my
brother !
But has this rumseller been cori
f >ui and :d or|speechless at these appeals ?
No ! not he. He could show his cred
entials at a moment's notice with
proud dehance. He always carried
in his pocket a written absolution lor
all he had done and could do in this
work of destruction. He had bought
a little of indulgence—l mean a license.
A precious instrument, signed and seal
ed by an authority, stronger and more
respectable than the Pope,s. He con
founded ! Why the whole artillery of
civil power was ready to open in his
defence and support. Thus shielded by
the AEgis of the law he had nothing
to fear from the enemies of the traffic.
He had the image and superscription
of Caesar on his credentials, and unto
Caesar he appealed, and unto Caesar
too his victims appealed and appealed
in vain.
