A. "POETRY:
The Old Burying Ground.
Our voles are sweet with fern and rose,
Our hills are maple-crowned ;
But not from them our father's chose
The village burying ground.
The dreariest spot in all the land
To Death they set apart ;
' With scanty grace from Nature’s hand,
And none from that of Art. '
A winding wall of mossy stone,
Frost-flung and broken, lines
A lonesome acre, thinly grown
With grass and wondering vines.
Without the wall a birchtreo shows
' Its drooped and tasseled head ;
Within, a stag-horned sumac grows,
Fern-leafed with spikes of rod.
There, sheep that graze the neighboring plain
Like white ghosts come and go, '
The form-horse drags his fetlock chain,
Th'ow-bell tlnklel slow.
Low moans the river from its bed,
The distant pines reply ;
Like mourners shrinking from the dead,
They stand apart and sigh.
Unshaded smites the summer sun,
Unchecked the winter blast ;
The school-girl learns the place to shun,
With glances backward cost.
For thus our fathers testified—
That he might read who ran—
The emptiness of human pride,
The uothingness of man.
They dared not plant the grave with flowers,
Nor dress the funeral sod,
Where, with a love as deep as ours,
They left their dead with God. -
The hard and thorny path they kept,
From beauty turned aside ;
Nor mined they over those who slept
The grace to life denied.
Yet still the willing flowers would blow,
The golden leaves would fall,
The lessons come, the seasons go,
And God be good to all.
Above the graves the blackberry hung
In bloom and green its wreath,
And harebells swung u if they rung
The chimes of peace beneath.
. The beauty Nature loves to share,
The gifts the bath for all,
The common light, the common air,
O’ercrept the graveyard’s wall.
It knew the glow of eventide,
The sunrise and the noon,
And glorified and'nnctified
It slept beneath the moon.
With flowers or snow-flakes for its sod,
Around the seasons run,
And evcrmore the love of God
Rebuked the fear of man.
We dwell with fears on either hand,
Within a daily strife,
And spectral problems waiting stand
Before the gates of life.
The doubts we vainly seek to solve,
The truths we know, are one ;
The known and nameless stars revolve
Around the Central Sun.
And if we reap as we have sown,
And take the dole we deal,
The law of pain is love alone,
The wounding is to heal.
Unbarmed from change to change we glide,
We fall as in our dreams ;
The far-off terror, at our side,
A smiling angel seems.
Secure on God’s all-tender heart
Alike rest great and small ;
Why fear to lose our little part,
When He is pledged for all ? ~ j
0 fearful heart and troubled brain l
Take hope and strengtn'frrn this,
That Nature never hints in vain,
Nor prophesies amiss.
Her wild birds sing the same sweet stave.
Her lights and airs are given,
Alike to playground and the grave,—
And over bothls Heaven.

“ My dear, what maks you alway, yawn l"

And when alone I'mlweary l’{

MISCELLANY.
Tar: DIFFERENCE—A Baptist minister
being about to testify in a law case, a
certain. lawyer, began his examination
with :
“ What are you ?”
To which the clerical gent replied?
" I am an humble candle of the Lord,
of the Baptist persuasion .”
“ Ah ! I perceive,” said the disciple of
Blackstone, “ you are a dipped,'not a nick-
ed one I” A
. . . .A writer in Blackwood says that
every man who is not a monster, 8 math-
ematician, or amad philosopher, is a slave
of some woman. ’
. . . .I compare the art of spreading ru-
mors to the art of pin-making. There is
usually some truth, which I call wire ; as
this passes from hand to hand, one gives
it a polish, another a point ; others make
and put on the head, and at last the pin
is completed—Newton. ' '
. . . .Bachelors are not quite so stupid as
involuntary maidens would have us be-
lieve. One of the inveteratcs being- ask-
ed, the other day why he did not secure
fond onc’s company in his voyage on the
ocean Of life, replied, “ I would, if I was
sure such an ocean would be Pacific.”
. . . .Sheridan said, beautifully, “ Women
govern us ; let us render them perfect.—
The more they are enlightened, so much
the more shall we be. On the cultiva-
tion of the mind of women depends the
wisdom of men. It is by women that
Nature writes on the hearts of men.”
. . . .We present an anecdote of Sheridan
which he introduces in a long note beg-
ging us to pronounce wind, wyndc. It
must be understood that Sheridan agreed
with Walker about this word, but differ-
ed from him with respect to gold, which
he would pronounce goold. Mr. Sheridan
tells us that Swift used to jest those who
pronounced wind with the short i, by say-
Ing, “ I have a great minn’d tofinn’d why
you pronounce it winn’d 1” An illiberal
critic rctorted this upon Mr. Sheridan, by
saying, ” IfI may be so boold.‘I should
be glad to be toold why you pronounce it
goold l”—Household Words. _
. . . .A lady proposes that young men

fore they are alloived to be engaged ;
that theyonng woman shall wash, and
mend, and dust, and that a new-born in-
fant be procured from the hospital, and
that she shall have the charge of him in
addition to the rest of her duties. She is
