When twilight gray steals o’er the day
And dims the beauteoul earth,
"l‘is then the mind is not so blind
To Him who gave it birth.
J'l‘il at that hour the little flower
Receives refreshing dew,
And then should we, not thoughtless be,
But keep our end in view.

Into existence come,
In at that time the most sublime,
To ling his author’s name.
The silvery tinge which sunset brings,
- How glorious to behold 1
But for more grand is that bloat lend
Whore streets are paved with gold.
The silent star, shine} from afar,
And bids no warning take,
Of that great day when God shall say
To every soul awake.
Then let no rain in songs of praise,
The voice which God hath given,
And live to love the things above,
but we from Heaven be driven.
0h dreadful thought l should we be brought
At last to be denied
That Blessed Heme whore spirits roam
With angels for their guide.
Then let's be wise beneath the skin,
And seek a home above, ,
Where all is joy without alloy,
And all is perfect love.

. . . .Burns’ question “what can a young
lassic do wi’ an old man ?” has been an-
swered in the case of Miss Elmira W.
Wingfield, of Bedford county, Va, who
sued William Stein for a breach of prom-
ise, and recovered $27,000. The lady is
about 34 years of age, and the gentleman
80. Certainly she made good use of a
very “old man.”
....“ Don’t you think,” said a brother
lawyer to Judge Greenwood of Geogia,
“ that Jim Pierson is the greatest liar of
a lawyer that you ever saw ?” “ I should
be very sorry 'to say that of brother Pier-
son,” replied the Judge ; “ but he is cer-
tainly the most economical of truth of any
other lawyer on the circuit.”

trates the present position of poor, weak
Buchanan towards democrats who dare to
think for themselves and refuse to do their
tyraut’s bidding by citing the well known
line : “ Root Hog or Die.”
. . . .Says Longfellow : "Sunday is the
golden clasp that binds together the vol-
ume of the week.”
. . . .A very little boy had one day done
wrong, and was sent after parental cor-
rection, to ask in secret the forgiveness of
his heavenly Father. His offence had
been passion. Anxious to hear what he
would say, his mother followed to the door
of his room. In lisping accents she heard
him ask to be made better ; never to be
angry ugain ; and then, with childlike
Simplicity, he added, “ Lord, make ma’s
temper better too. i"
,. . .Some public house patriot was re-
peating the old naiional boast that “ an
Englishman’s house is his castle.” “ I
am not so positive about that,” said a
critic of the Westminster Review ; “ but
'I am sure that an “ English woman’s dress
is her castle ,- for it is of such an enormous
size now, that it is morally and physical-
ly impossible for any one, friend or ene-
my, to come near her ‘3”

enteen, with reference to her beau, a we-
man inquires which is he 7 At twenty,
