SPRING.

The winter winds have passed away,
'I‘lii-ircliilliiig b|asts'gone by.

Arid fr-agiairco floats upon the breeze
Bencatlr the spriirg's wiirtn sky.

The blirebird has begun her nest,
'l‘he faiini-r’s work ’s begun,

The i.-altle’.~i'low'ing now is heard
Bent-ailt the springs warin sun.

The river's ice-bound chain is broke,
'l‘he brook begins to flow.

The song birds warbfe on the trees,
B0l)r‘tll.ll the spring’s wiirni glow.

The daisy and the blue bell
Put forth their infant. flowers,

The inoilest violet has come.
I’tel'i‘eslted by" spring's warin showers.

But. soon they all will pass away,
The witlii-red leaves will fall; .

The flnwi=i's that blooriied upon the fields
Shall be the spriug’s deiithgiall.

Aiiil so with youth; when life begins
The flowers spring round his patIi——
Ilo lit.-ode-lli not the springof life

That passe-tlr on to deatli. n. c. D.

 

The Down Hill of Life.
In the down lii|' of lrlr, when 1 find I'm

May my fate no less fortunate lio
'l‘lnin it song elbow chair can afford for re-
L-lining.
And It cot that o'i~rlooks the wide sea ;
With an ainbling pad pour-y to pace o'er the
limo. ‘
\Vli'ilo I carrol awiiy idle sorrow ;
As blitlie as the link that each day hails the
dawn. _
Look forward with hope for to-morrow.

With a patch at my do0r,'b0ll1 for shelter and

As lllt‘ sunshine or niin rniiy prevail;
And it Slltilll spot of ground for the use of my
spade. too ,
And it burn for the use oftlie flail; ~
A cow for my dai y ; a dog for my game;
And a |itIt‘.~8 \\ll:'ll my friend wants to
borrow; ‘
I'll envy no iiaboirliis riches or f.itne,
Nor liunois that await hint to rtiurrow.

From the bleak nortlic.rn blast. may my cot be
coiirplelely

Secured by it iieiglilroiiiig hill:

And at iriglrt may ii-pose steal itpon me most
sweetly. ‘

By the L-Olllld of ii mtirriiuring rill.

And while pear-c. airil plenty I find at. my board.

\-\ illr a heart tree from .~ri:kni-ss it rid sorrow.

\Vitl: my his oils will I share what to-day iuay
iifliud.

And let lllt-‘m spread the tab'e to tnorrow.

And when at last I intrst throw olftlris frail
('tl\'(*‘l'lll,‘__7.,

\Vlriclr I've worn for three score years and
ten ;

On the verge oftlie grave I'll not seek to keep
liovi-ring.

Nor tiiy llll'PtIli wi h to spin o'er again;

But my face in the glass 1 ll sereiiely survey,

Nor rr'p'ne at each wr'nkli-. anil furrow;

As this old worn-out stall’ which is threritl-bare
to day, ‘

May become ever lasting to-morrow.

The ‘Way She '|‘urned' Him’.

A writer in the St. Louis, ‘Spirit of the
West,‘ tells a good story about ’a _Westér'n
politician, as follows—- »

The most bigoted and unreasonable party
man I ever met with was Jack D now
a prosperous and influential Attorney

At the limit‘ r_:f which I am ‘writing, he
was a red‘-hot Democrat, and his chief
pleasure scerited to consist in ttiaking the
frct as notorious as possible to the \'l0t‘l(l.——
His friends and acquaintances, who knew
him well, and whom he had repeatedly
‘ victimized,’ with one consent. pijotiounced
Jicka bore, and his politics at nuisance;
but, with a stranger, the thing was essen-
tially different. , " A

S--lzed by the button, at the moment, of
introilriction, Jack would astonish into by
it rapid rehearsal of the articles of his po-
liiical creeil—branch out into an intermin-
ttbl(’~fhap.\‘0(‘ly on the I’I’Iillllft’SI destiny of
the great progie.~sive party, and_,iftbe vic-
iiiii was unusually passive, wind up an en-

One unlucky day, Jack met at the house.
of a fric-nd,a young lady of great personal
beauty and Il('C0m[ill.~l'llltf'nl.S, attracted by
her lovliness, and captivated by her intel-
ligcnce, he l!°(‘.3tXle assiduous in the aucti-
tions, forgot fora vvliile his ‘priiiciples,’
and without inquiring what might be lht-‘
political pri-l'erc.irces of his ‘ lady lovc,’ im-
prudenily proposed, was accepted and they
were married ’

The wedding was over, the giiests hail
departed, and the happy pair had retired
to their chainber, and were snugly enscons-
rd in bed, when Jack in the course of a
quiet coirvcrsat oi with his wife unwitting-
ly alluded to the fivnrite stibject, by casu-
ally speaking of hrinselfas being it Demo-
ctal.

‘ What!’ rxclaimed she, turning sharp-
ly and suddenly towards him, ‘are you a
Demr-crai '3’

‘Yes madam,’ replied Jack -—deli«_rhted
with the idea of having -.1 pallet.-t listener
to liislong restrained oratory. Yes, nud-
ain, lam a Deinocrat, :1 rcal Jr-fl'ei'sonian
De.ttrocr':rt, attached to the principles of fire
great. pt0gri~ESlVe party ; a real out and outer,
double dyed and twisted in the wool"

‘Ju-tdoubli’. and tw-isl yourself out of
this bed then,’ internpti-il the wife, “ I'm a
Vl/'hig',I am, and I never viill sleep with
airy man professing the t=tl)0ll‘.llltlltl6 doc-
t-ines which yull do."

..la«.-lr was Spt?t’ChlPS8 from absolute amaze-
ment. 'I‘bat this very wife of his bosom
shoul.l,prove a traitor, was l10l‘ll)le—-5l'le
must bejnsting. He remonstratt-.d-—-in vain
— tiled persuasion-~’t.vias useless--etitriiaty
—-‘ta-as no go. She was in sober carne:t,
and the only alternative left him was it
promptrenunciation of ltt‘I'(:s_v, or a sepa-
I'-'rto bed in another room. Jack did not
hesitate. . 'l‘o abjure the great and establish-
cd doctrines of his p:irty,iu renounce his ul-
legrance to that faith that had 'oecoine in-
dentificd with his very being, 10 sitrreitdcr
those t_1_l0l'l0LtS principles which had grown
with his grovitli and strengthened with his
strength-—-ti) the mere vi hint and captive of
a woman, was utterly ridiculous anJ absurd,
and he threw hiinself front bed, and prep-ar
ed to quit the room.

As he was leaving the door, his wife
.\‘Cl'eall'lt’.Ll out——‘l say, my dear, when you
recairt _vour heresy. and r9pPnt your past
errors just knock at my door, and perhaps
I will list you in.’ ’

'l‘he ‘door vias violently slammed, and
Jack‘ proceeded wrathfully in quest of an-
other apartincnt. '

A sense of insulted di,c:nit_v,and the firm
conviction that be was a martyr in the ‘ right.
cau.-e,‘sireti,«_vtho.-ui.-d the pride and he re-
.~0lVi-'(l to hold out until he forced his wife
into a rccapitulation.

‘ In the morning she met him as if pothing
had happcncd,but, whenevi-r Jack ventur-
ed to allude to the rupture of the night pre-
vious, the-re was a‘l.iiigliing devil’ in her.
eye. which bespoke hi-r power and extin-
guished hope. A second time be rt-paired-
to his lurirly couch, and a second time he
called upon his pride to support hitn in the
struggle which he now found was getting
desperate. I-le vciited curse‘-s ‘ not l..url
but deep,’ on the waywarilness and caprice
ofthe si-x in geireial, and his oiiii . wife in
p’tl'll(‘lllal'-\VOfllrl€|"cll how much longer she
would hold out-—-whether the sufferer! as
acutely as he did and tried‘ hard to dclude
himselfinto the belief that she loved him
too rrtucli to prolong the cstrangemciit, and
would come to him with morning-—pcr-
h_aps that very night, and sue for reconcilia-
iioti. '

But, then came the rccollection of that
inflexible countenance, of that unbenditig
will, and ol Illal. laughing and unpitying eye
-and be f.-ltcniiviticedthat he was hoping
against liopc, and despaiiingly he turned to
the wall for oblivion front the vtretcltedness
of his thuuglits.

The second day was a repetition of the
first—iio allusion was made t‘o the forbidden
suhjo-ct, on either side. There was a look
of gait: happiness and cheeifulness about
his wife, that puzzled J.lCl{ sorely, and he
felt that all idea of forcing tier into it surren-
der, must be abandoned. . '

A third night he was alone witbhis
tliougbts. Ilrs reflections were more seri-
ous and composed than oit the night’ previ-
ous. What they were. of course,“ were
lrnovvn only to himself, but they secured to

-“ Deal Gently with the Erriug.”i.

Aunt Lizzy sat knitting in bar —hig_ll-

from'time to time,at the figures moving it)’
the street it ithout. A, projecting little mirror
cnabled her to coiniiiriiid a full vi:-fw .of'tbe

an evening, to while away the hours in pleas ‘

The carriage stopped at the end of the
street, opposite an entry leading into it ‘mean

said Aunt L‘zzy. _ I .

fell into a shallow part of the river, and was
taken up terribly injured.” ' ‘

Kentucky lliflcmen. .

The renown which the Kentucky riflemen
havc obtained for precision and skill in hand-
ling the rifle has become world-wide. and ex-
cited the nlIenIii)n.und wonder of the war-
riors of other nations. In brittle they have
stood as cool and collected—alihongh the
first time in aciiou—as the oldest veterans
of Europe, pouring in their deadly fire with
Unerring aim.

“ I shot that ofliccr,” exclaimed a rifleman,
us he saw an officer fall at New Orleans.

“ No, no, I shot him,” said his comrade at
his side.

“ l,f I shot him, I shot. him in the right

“ And I shot him in the left eye,” was the
response.

they were compelled to be constantly under

As the l'ather,m ilrc children grew up,taught

Matty years ago I was conversing with
my friher on the wonderlul skill of the Ken-
tuckians, when be related, to me the follow-.
ing ttnecdole: '

.“l was out in the wilds of Kentucky,
sortie years bi fore the war, on a survr-ying
expedition, and hail an opportunity of study-
ing the character of the early settlers for ti.
consiilerable period of time. It became ne-
cessary ftr tire to stop a few days at a log-
built tavern, and, to viliile away the time, I
took my trusty l'lfl+.°. and explored the woods
for game, ‘of which there was an abundance.
The landlord of the tavern had a fine little
son, about ten years old, who sometimes ac-

extt'ertrely gooil luclr. On one occasion the
fates secured to be adverse to him. for per-
ceiving a 5_qniirel on a very hlglt branch of
a tree, be up rifle, Ll -.z,eil« away, and down
came the squirrel. The look nfilis-may with
which be, viewed his game I shall never for-
yrt. Dropping the butt of his title on the
ground, he burst into tears. In the utmost
surprise! inquircd what was the inatler'.—-
He answered, ‘ Da.ir!y.will lick me.’

" ‘ Lick you ! what for .5’ .

“ " Becausi:.l didn't hit him in the head.’

“ l soothed him all I could, but his day's
pleasure was over. On returning; .10 the
tavern, l intciccded for him all in my power,
to save ltiui lrotti the hickory, but it was no
