I.KON*. Competent literary critics have ttfQßOuiieed tho following poem un surpassed by any other production of Its class iu our language.

L ima, come close to my bed, And lay your dear head ou my brow ; The same touch that thrilled mo iu days that are fled. And rained the lost roses of youth from the dead, Can brighten the brief moments now. We have lived from the cold world apart. |Hi And your trust was too generous and true For their hate to o'arthrow; when the slanderer's dart. Was rankong deep iu my desolate heart. I was dearer than ever to you. I thank tho Great Father for this, That our love is not laviahed in vain , Each genu in tho future will blossom to bliss, And the forms that we love and the lips that we kiss.

Clark. ‘•Once.” Ksf“l>o you ever attend the theatre?” | eaiil a young man to a blue-eyed maiden, who hung on his arm, as t hey rfKMnonaded the streets of New York dpe mild evening in October. The arl's eheek crimsoned, asrheanswer od tlie interrogatory in the negative, and added: W; “My mother lias taught me from ochildhood that it is wrong to attend su< h places." "v “But your mother formed, perhaps, improper preiudiee, from exaggern- Bed accounts given by others; for I " have often heard Imr say she never lattended ono in her life.” If He spoke eloquently of the drama, (comedy and tragedy, and dwelt with ’‘pathos on the important lesson there go be learned of human nature, fe ‘Go with me once,’ he said, ‘and judge for yourself.’ P Persuasion and curiosity triumphed over maternal precept and example, las she hesitatingly replied: If ‘l’ll go but once.’ She went; and in that theatre a charm came over tier like that which |tbe serpent sent, forth from his dove ’ like eye. She went again and again, and from that house of mirth and laughter she was led to one from the portals of which she never returned. Around a center-table, where an aa- Itrul lamp was shedding its mild light, sat three girls, one holding in her 1 hand a pack of cards. At the back of her chair stood a young man who (for years had successfully resisted every attempt made by his compau poas to induce iiim to learn the char- Incter of cards. > ‘Come,’ said she,‘we want one to j make out our game. Play with ns gonoe, if you never play again.’ ; Her eyes, cheek and lip conspired (to form an elegant battery, which (sent forth its attack upon the fortress (of good resolution in which ho had \ long stood secure, uutiilt telUikotln walls of an ancient city when jarred by the fearful battering. He learned the cards and played. A few weeks afterward I was passing his door at a late hour, arid a candle was shed ding its dim light through the win dow. Since that time I have looked from my chamber nearly every hour of the night, from the close of day until the early morn, and seen the light faintly struggling through tiie curtain that screened the inmates of that room from everv eye save His who seetli alike in darkness and noonday. Gambling brought witli it disease, and death earno just as he numbered the half of his three score ami ten. During his last hours I was sitting bv bis bed-side, when he fixed on rue a look I shall never forget, and bade me listen toitis dying words; ‘I might have been a different man from what 1 am; lint it is now too late. lam convinced that there is a state of being beyond the grave; and when I think of the retribution which awaits me in another world, I feel a horror which I am indaequate to de seribe.’ These were among the last he ever uttered. The Junior class of a Southern col lege had assembled in a student's room to spend the night in riot and debauch. Amid the crowd was one who had never recked a bad lesson since his matriculation. In his studies he was 'head and shoulders' above the class. That day he had failed. A shade of the deepest gloom came over him, and he was melan choly. Hut the wine and jest passed around, while he felt like Lucifer in Eden, while all was joy and gladness around him. Said a eliminate: ‘Come, Hob, quaff this bumrmr, and it will make you feel bright as a her mit’s lamp.’ The tern liter whispered to him, Drink once and forget the past. A powerful struggle seemed going on In his mind for a moment; but at i last he shook his head and gave vent to a flood of tears. That boy never drank not even once. He took the valedictory, and is now president of a college. Once! O. on this slender point hath turned for weal or woe the destiny of a deathless spirit. Ciesar paused but once on the banks of the Rubicon, but it was a pause like that which nature makes when gathering her Moments for the dread toruadm Eve ate the forbidden fruit but once, and her countless posterity huve felt the fearful consequences resulting from so rash an act. Reader, remember once! Swl IMWoe ■ulnr*—How To Do When Yon So There. rrointhn A„UuviU (N, C.) I^poifior.J When you have letters to mail, wait till it la time to close tho mail they are Roinß iu, or, if possible, un til the baas are locked, as it looks more business-like to rush in just as tho mail is leaving and ask to huvo them put it in. Never put stamps on your letters until you get to tho office, and then ask me or Ctol. Faipr to llek them and put them on for you. We expect to lick all the stumps used at this and it la a source of disappointment to us when people insist on doing it themselves. When you makeup your mind to put them on yourself, lick each one two or three times go us to Ret the I*lllll off, and then ask for a little muei'tt'e. Don', iay l'or the stamps until they are all stuck on especially if we are hurried, and two or three other men are waiting their turn to be waited on. This gives the postmaster a chance to rest, and the men who are waiting for you to move will turn upon you, faces beaming with love and approbation. If it makes no difference to you, put part of tho stamps on the left-hand cor ners, and some on t lie back of your letters. This will Insure you ti re membrance in the prayers of the 1 happy youth who cancels those stamps. When you pay money at tho office, try and get it upside down aud wrong end foremost, so that we may amuse ourselves straightening it up before counting It. Tliis is one of our chief pleasures, firing us all the torn “shin plasters” you can spare, for we like them much better than larger bills, and they are so much easier to count, fie sure, however, not to have exact change. You can generally save time by counting your money down to us. for you will nearly always count it more rapidly and correctly than we will. When'you want a money order ! ensiled, don’t sign it right the first time. If we tell you it is payable to I John Smith, sigu it J. Smith, then [it will have to be erased and correct ed. This helps to pass away the time, and Is ft pleasure and a relief to the I postmaster. If the postmaster tells you to put two cents on a paper, say to him that you have seen larger papers go for one cent, often, This is conclusive evidence tlint he don’t know how much to charge you and also that the other postmaster was very careful about weighing his mail matter. Al ter tho postmaster gives you your mail, ask him if “that is all.” Post - masters are very apt to keep back part, of your mail, unless closely watched. A strict observation of these rules, and a few others which can better be explained in person when you call at the office, will make your visits! desirable at any postoffiee, and post- j masters and clerks will not forget to j call for blessings on you in their] hourly supplications. Affectionate ly, yours, Johnnie Aston. P. 8, The foregoing is not intend- j ed for handsome young ladies. They ; are at liberty to come as often and j stay as long as they please. J. 'A. The Irish, Morally ami Physically. Interesting statistical reports have ! recently been published which bring i into comparison the different nation alities composing the United King-! dom of Great Britain and Ireland. In this the Irish appear to a great ad vantage on two important points In ; respect to morality in the relations' between the two sexes, and in respect ] to physical health and mortality. Scotland is the best educated of the three countries, England occupies the second place in that respect, and Ireland tho last, fiut according to the reports for 1872, Scotland has the greatest proportion of illegitimate births, England less, but least of all Ireland. Only two fifths per cent, of all the children horn in Ireland were illegitimate. The reputation of the Irish as a moral people is there fore well founded. Tho Irish, in spite of tho poverty of the masses, seem to Ik; the healthiest portion of the people of the United Kingdom. Iu England the propor tion of the deaths of males under five years in 1872 was 41.49 per cent., while in the same year in Ireland it was 2ti.82 per cent. Of those who died during that year in Ireland 968 wore retained as persons over ninety, flvo years of age. The number of deaths of males in England during the same period was more than five times as large as the total number of deaths in Ireland, but only 195 were, returned as being ninety-live years old and upwards. This is a pretty good showing for the Irish people, and a strong testimony in their fa vor. Buffalo Courier. Real Estate City Tax.
