The Ship of State.
The Ship of State! above her skies are blue
But still she rocks a little, it is true,
And there are passengers whose faces white
Show they don‘t feel as happy as they might;
Yet, on the whole, her crew are quite con-
tent,
Since its wild fury the typhoon has spent,
And willing, if her pilot think it best,
To head a little nearer South by West.
And this they feel ; the ship came too near
wreck
In the long quarrel for the quarter deck
Now, when she glides serenely on her way—
Thc shallows past where dread explosives
la
The stiffibstructivc‘s churlish game to try :
Let sleeping dogs and still torpedoes lie!
And so I give you all “The Ship of State l”
Freedom’s last venture is her priceless freight
God speed her, keep her, bless her, while
she. steers
Amid the breakers of the unsounded years ;
Lead her through danger's paths with even
keel
And guide the honest hand that holds her
wheel! —Olioer W. Holmes.

About fourteen million acres are covered
with pine trees, used for building purposes,

Lands given to the State, for school purpo-
ses, two million, nine hundred and sixty-nine
thousand, and nine hundred acres.
Lands donated for a State University,
ninety-two thousand, five hundred and forty-
eight acres. '
The amount of land unsurveyed in Minne-

chusetts and Connecticut combined. The
amount surveyed and unsurveyed, subject to
settlem..s.t, is thirty‘oue million, five hundred
and Sei'i‘ilty-SIX thousand acres.
Rair and companies have received seven
million, six hundred and twenty-two acres,
to aid in constructing their roads.
In 1850 there were one thousand, nine
hundred acres under cultivation. In 1878,
there were three million, three hundred thou-
sand acres under cultivation.
Forty million bushels is the estimated yield
of wheat in Minnesota for 1877, averaging
over twenty~two bushels to the acre. There
were three million acres under cultivation in
1877, of which two millions were in wheat.
The estimated crops of other States are as
follows: Illinois, thirtyfive million bushels;
Iowa, thirty~four millions; New ‘York,
fourteen millions; Pennsylvania,twenty mil-

Eighty acres or one lot and house, with
furniture, tools, farming implements, stock,
are exempt from debt.
Railroad lands are worth eighty cents per
acre and upwards, by settlers first buying the
stocks and bonds of the companies. $1 to $7
per acre on long time.
Adults,male or female,u nmarried or widow,
can have 160 acres of land free, by five years’
residence thereon; and 160 acres more by
planting 4.0 acres of trees in four years—ten
acres each year. This land not liable for
past debts. ,
Land can be purchased of the government
for $1.25 per acre. Soldiers’ claims can be
made anywhere in the State.
Minnesotgwas organised into aterritory in
1849. Admitted as a State, in 1858. Has
raised, in fourteen years, two hundred and
fifty-three million, five hundred and sixty—
six thousand, five hundred and fifty bushels
of wheat, which, at an average price of one
dollar per bushel, would be two hundred and
fifty—three million, five hundred and sixty-
six-thousand, five hundred and fifty dollars,
and herein lies one of her elements of pros.
perity. '
The value of her flour manufactured in
1877, is estimated at fifteen millions, five
hundred thousand dollars. The total sum of
all her other manufactures in 1877, were
forty—two million six hundred thousand
dollars.
Her water power is sufficient to turn the
mills of England and Scotland combined.
When fully settled, she is Capable of pro—
ducing over seven hundred millions bushels
of wheat, and sustaining a population of five
million people.
The whole of England, Ireland, Scotland,
Belgium, Holland and a part of France lie
north of the extreme northern boundary of
Minnesota; and it is a fact, that away up the
Red River Valley, the wheat raised there is
of afine quality. and yields heavily to the
aura.
Glasgow for $1.52. To New York for $1.20
Per barrel. Wheat to Milwaukee and Chica-
go for 15 cents per bushel; and very soon
Minnesota's accessibility to the markets of
the world, is unparalleled. A barrel of flour
can go direct to Liverpool for $1.57, and to
boats will leave Saint Paul, on the Mississip-
pi, aud break bulk only once before reaching
an European port. Duluth is one of Minne—
sota's finest shipping and rte-shipping points.
Saint Paul merchants and others are now
importing goods direct from Europe, and
shipping back wheat and flour.
Total amount of lumber made each year,
seven hundred million feet, worth, at the
mills, fourteen million dollars.
Minnesota is an excellent State for stock
raising. In the northeastern portion are
many lakes; the grasses are rich and luxuri—
ant; the soil well adapted to wheat; and
there exists an abundance of wood.
Corn can be raised here as well asin States
further south, as the frosts do not-injure it
as soon as in those States. The crop in 1877
was twelve million, Eight hundred and
twenty-seven bushels, and yet the great labor
of the State was expended on wheat.
Tame hay is raised easily and largely to
the acre. Timothy, clover, and blue jointed
grasses grow with little culture and produce
abundant crops.
Owing to the dryness of our climate, sheep
raising will become an important item in
our productions.
Trees that have been acclimated. bear
largely of good eating and cooking apples.
The raising of good fruit in Minnesota, has
now become a matter of record.
The average yield of wheat in the North
Star State‘for the past nineteen years; is
eighteen bushels per acre. Many farms
produce twenty-five and thirty bushels to the
acre.
The largest farm in the State embraces
38,000 acres. _
The yield of wild grasses is two and one
half tons to the acre.
\The total product of the standard crops for
1877 is as follows: Wheat, forty million
bushels; oats, sixteen million, six hundred
and seventy.eight thousand bushels; corn,
twelve million, eight hundred and twenty—
seven thousand; potatoes, two million, seven
hundred thousand; barley, two million,three
hundred and twenty-five thousand; rye, two
hundred thousand; buckwheat, one hundred
and lhirty~six thousand, one hundred and
seventy. Grand total: seventy.four million,.
eight hundred and sixty-seven bushels,worth,
at. home, sixty million dollars.
These are all reliable statements, gleaned
mostly from oflieial sources, and are rather
under than ever the figures given.
Hon. William H. Seward,standiug upon the
steps of the capitol, at Saint Paul, in 1860,

“I now believe that the ultimate, last seat
of government on this great continent, will
be found somewhere within a circle or radius
not far from the spot on which I now stand,
at the head of navigation on the Mississippi.”

Very interesting discoveries have lately
been made by excavations along the banks of
the Tiber. An ancient Roman house,believed
to have been devoted to the sale of wine, its
inner wall decorated with exquisite paintings,
has been uncovered, and the archaeologists
say that no discovery of equal importance has
been made in Rome for centuries. The walls
have a thick coating of powdered marble,upon
which are the pictures, perfectly preserved.
Musical instruments are portrayed, among
them the cithera, resembling the guitar.
There is a painting of this instrument with a
man playing upon it upon the wall of a tomb
in Thebes,so that it was known to the ancient
Egyptians. The Roman painting is more
valuable than similar ones, because over each
cord of the cithera are signs, which are
thought to be musical notes, and if learned
men succeed in reading them, a melody
Played two‘thousand years age may be re;
mam! help us to understand/more 'p’eé-
fectly the taste of those who have long been
gone from earth. The paintings in this house
were made at about the beginning of the em-
pire, the period when the art of painting was
most nearly perfect. ' -
Now, I once knew a man who made shoes.
He could cobble a pair of old shoes, too. He
could sew on an invisible patch with yellow
thread, so that it would look like sunrise on
the Ohio. How he could make shoes! Well
sir, one day that man dropped his wax in a‘
panfull of' pegs, laid down the hammer and
got to telling what the government ought to
do, and what congress ought to do, and what
he would do if he were there, and the first
thing he knew they sent him to congress.
He used to charge only ten cents for sewing
on a patch as big as a fifty cent piece, and
only twenty cents for a new heel, and fifty
cents for half soles. And be pounded leather
all day for about one dollar and eighty—five
cents. And the very first day he was in con-
gross, be introduced a bill for the free coinage
of $9,000,000,000,000,000.000,000,000,000 in
one dollar greenbacks,-with a provision that
the amount should be doubled, if it should
appear that the amount originally specified in
the bill was insufiicient to meet the demands
of trade—Exchange. '
And yet that man could make good shoes.

The Washington Sunday Capital, in a
leader written by l‘iatt, pitches into the
southern men sharply to-day for their course
in congress. It says : So long as the south
suffered in a helpless minority we burned
with honest indignation. When, however,
the long night passed and the south found
itself in the hands of its friends and congress
under the control of the democracy, we
had time to look, as we have said at our
allies. The result is not encouraging. We
are forced to admit that the sectional an—
tagonism of which We complain is not alto—
gether of northern birth, and that the south-
ern product is quite as mean and far more
aggressive than its twin deformity of a cold-
er home; that all we suffer from financially
and morally, came of the fool's fight the
south made against the inevitable. It was
a frantic war of guns against the logic of
events, the frantic attack of brute force
on statistical results and the moral force
of progressive civilization. The tooth was
not only willing to grow rich on requited
toil, because that toil was helpless, ignorant
and degraded, but actually legislated ig-
norance and degredation upon which it fat-
teued. The stupidity that began such a war
clings with fatal tenacity to its authors.
They are now in the majority in congress,
without the capacity to use the power to
their own advantage. In their stupendous
egotism they fail to see that this majority
so far as the north and northwest are con-
cerned, does not originate in any sympathy
with them on the war issues. The strong
instincts of the people, stimulated by mourn-
ing in every household, repudiate the
authors of our national calamities. After
all, we have to submit to the inevitable.
The Yankee brain is not lovable, but it is
brain, and like blood, it will tell. There is
more intellectual life, more books read and
journals and magazines taken in one New
England village than in all the south. These
much-despised, narrow-chested, slender-
legged, nasal specimens of humanity, with
their keen, grasping avarice and little mean-
nesscs, make our books, give us our science,
art and literature, supply the material world
with all its great inventions, cheat us to our
face when we deal with them, and whip us
when we appeal to arms.

TALKS as HE FOUGHT.
What a Stalwart Oregon Preach-
er Says.
The Rev. J. H. Acton, Pastor of Taylor
street Methodist Episcopal Church in this
city and editor of the Pacific Ohn'staz'n Ad—
vocate, publishes the following invitation,
which has been received by him:
PORTLAND, Oregon, May 14, 1879.
The Res. J. H. Acton .'
DEAR Sm: 'I am instructed to invite you
to deliver a discourse on Sabbath preceding
Decoration Day, in commemoration of the
services of our fallen comrades, who gave
their lives for the maintenance of this great
free Government. If consistent,we hope that
you will be pleased to cnmplv.
Very respectfully.
N. S. PIERCE, Chairman Committee.
The following reply is made through the
Advocate. Doubtless there is a class of pol-
iticians—men whose hearts were not true
to the country in its agony—who will con
demn it; and yet, let it be observed that
the man who responded to the call of his
country, and fought as a soldier through
the war, has earned the privilege to speak
his sentiments. In this instance they are
spoken with a most thrilling earnestness.
It is a voice in which fervency and pathos
are blended with the sound of a trumpet:
“We must respectfully decline. Nearly
18 years since, at the call of the United
States Government, we took, up our line of
march for the bloody fields of the South—
not as a commissioned officer with large
epaulets, large pay, and large self-apprecia-
tion, nor yet as a chaplain, to have, as many
did, a good, easy, remunerative time Out of
bullet range—but as a private soldier in the
ranks, with our musket and knapsack. For
three years we stood picket, lay in the
trenches, ’waded rivers, climbed mountains,
traversed swamps, baked our own beans—
when we had any—shot at rebels, and in
turn made for them a target of our own
person. .We passed through many bloody
scenes, and some of the most tryiugbat-
ties of the war. More than once we narrow-
ly escaped the bayonet, Andersonville, or
Libby. We carried ammunition from the.
pouches of the dying and the dead for some
of these same comrades whose deeds we are
now called upon to remember, and helped
with our own hands to lay scores of them
in their graves. When the war closed, we
joined in the nation’s shout, and hung our~
sword on the wall. Many of our most
valued friends were left in the South. We
tried to dry the tears of our stricken fathers
and mothers by reciting the heroism of their
dead, and then went back into the ranks
of the Master to pray for the fatherless and
the widows. But we were happy. A halo
of glory hung over these graves. We looked
on the broad acres of this great land, and
felt it was enough. We had spent as a na—
tion more than $4,000,000,000, and had sac-
rificed hundreds of thousands of precious
lives, but ‘the cruel war was was over’, and
our enemies were ready to accept the situa-
tion. I.
“To day the men Government paid us by
the month for shooting at are our own Con-
gressmen. Four Senators only who now
serve us were Union soldiers, while 20
were in ithe rebel Army. Sixty-five rebel
soldiers are in the House. Nota solitary.
man from all the South who stood loyally
by the Government with his life in his hands,
comes as a Representative. More than two-
thirds of the whole number were in open
rebellion and under arms, and yet in six. if
not in seven, States of the thirteen which
rebelled the Union voters are in the minori—
ty. The tried soldier is thrust out. The
freedman who led the way through dismal
swamps, found hiding places, and carried a
portion 'or their own scanty fare to our
starving boys flying from prison-pens, who'
bound up their wounds and picked worms
from their gangrened flesh, torn by blood-
hounds—these freedmen are today flying
from their homes to save their lives. Insult
stamps upon the graves of our dead in the
South, and revolution is complete in its
violence only that a solitary Union soldier
who happens to be at the head of the Gov-
ernment stands alone in the breach.
No, we cannot preach over the dead yet.
Other battles are to fight. It were an empty
ofiering. do not wish to mock their
bleaching bones. They did not bleed and
die for a few empty eulogies and a hand-
ful of halffaded flowers cast upon their graves
once ayear. They ask for bread and we
give them a stone. They rot in their graves
with gapling wounds of sword and bayonet
and the death stare of those who starved in
prison pens yet traceable in the dust under
their cofiiulids. We push aside their maim-
ed comrades to make room for the men who
laughed at their dying scream for food, and
ordered guards to shoot the poor crazed
maniac who dared reach over the dead-line
for a half putrid bone, and now come in
token of our appreciation with wilted flow-
ers. How these dead skeletons must ap-
preciate this costless ofiz'eringl God forbid
we should approach their graves until we
can carry the old flag over a land united
and free, such as they dreamed Of in their
last delirium. Let other bands carry flow—
ers. It is meet that pure and lovely maidens
should do this. It is all they have. Let
those preach sermons of eulogy who never
shivered in the Wilderness nor heard the
roar of ‘the battle above the clouds.’ We
shall stand in silence over the old battery.
We are still on picket. The war is not over.
The distant matter of the conflict can still
be heard. We are yet to lay other treasures
away in the grave—murdered on the altar
of revolution. We cannot insult our com-
rades. Over their graves before-the God of
the .nation we have sworn allegiance to the
cause for which they died, and stand ready
for the next bugle call, but we have never
scattered flowers, and never will, until the
right shall finally triumph, and the enemies
of our common country are driven from the
place of power. Let the dead sleep. We
are ashamed publicly to speak of their hero-
ism in the |history of today. They have
passed beyond the stench and corruption,
the flies and the maggots, the hunger and
thirst under Southern suns, and no longer
ask might of us. Our heart aches. It is all
a huge farce; a righteous indignation cou-
sumes us. The Government is heartlessly
cruel. It called them to sacrifices a thousand
times more terrible than the Juggernaut,
and has forgotten the purchase price. The
enemies who followed them with blood—
hounds now seek the life of the nation, and
crate the principles of the rebellion in the
Senator Chamber. Nol we scorn this empty
offering. Turn out these rebelsl Tear
down their flags! Send traitors where they
belong; and God will carry the flowers in-
the (left fingers of the sunshine and the rain-~
drop, and will weave wreaths and garlands
by the agency' of the winds, and will make
melody by the orchestra of all nature. Until
then we shall leave our harp on the willows,
and continue to cry out ‘How long, 0 Lord
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge
our blood on them?’ ” ‘

The Power of Niagara.
Dr. Siemens, some months ago in an ad—
dress which he then gave, referred to the
immense quantity of power which flowed
ready-made over the Falls of Niagara. In
his Glasgow address he again referred to the
subject, in order to show how this gigantic
source of power might'be utilized to pro-
duce action ata distance. “When,” he says,
“little more than twelve months agoI vis-
ited the great Falls of Niagara, I was par-
ticularly struck with the extraordinary
amount of force which is lost, as far as the
useful purposes of man are concerned. One
hundred millions of tons of water fall there
every hour from a vertical height of 150 feet
which represents an aggregate of 16,800,000
horse-power. In order to reproduce the
power of {16,800,000 horses. or, in other
words, to pump back the water from below
to above the fall, would require an annual
expenditure of not less than 266,000,000
tons of coal, calculated at an average con
sumption of four pounds of coal per horse-
power per hour, which amount-is equivalent
to the total coal consumption of the world.
In stating these facts in my inaugural ad
dress on assuming the presidency of th
Iron and Steel Institute, I ventured to ex—
press the Opinion that in order to utilize
natural forces of this description at distant
tovvus and centres of industry, the electric
conductor might be resorted to. The view
was at that time unsupported by experiment,
:11 data such as I have been able since they to
collect."

The scheme for tunneling from England
to France which was so widely talked about
not long ago, yields now to one for building
a bridge. It seems the substance of the
channel bottom is in spots a porous rock,
and by conjecture there are rifts and fissures
and soft places to be met, so many as to
keep the tunnel a canal. Moreover the tun—
nel estimates were $5,000,000 for experi
ments and $100,000,000 for the real work.
The bridge people only ask for $200,000 to
experiment with and then will go on and
build, if it bids fair, for $60,000,000. The
plan proposed is for a bridge twenty-one
miles long. The average depth will be six-
teen fathoms, and the shoals, the Varne and
the Colbert, will be made useful. Folke.
stone and Cape Gris-nez are the termini as
arranged. .It is not specified whether navi-
gation is to be suspended after the bridge
is done, but that might be agreed to safely.
Very different customs prevail in different
countries and ages} The civilized man hard-
ly resembles the savage in any particular. ‘
In Some cases men turn right about face as
they advance in; the social scale, and do as
Christians what they would never think of
doing as savages. Among the Zu‘lus, for
example, the mother-in-law moves in a very
circumscribed circle. She is not permitted
to make any criticisms of household affairs
nor even to look on the face of her son-in-
law. When he appears she plays a kind of
hide and seek, and never feels free while he
is in the house. How different are our
modern ways! Now if anybody plays hide
and seek it is the sou-in-law, and if there
is any one on the footstool whom he fears
it is the dignified and autocratic mother of
his belovedwife. An impartial observer of
affairs sometimes wonders whether the old
custom is not better than the new,‘aud
whether we have really made any progress in
this particular matter.
It is a sad truth that people are apt to give'
to the church what they can spare as well
as not and then regard themselves asmyery; '
liberal. There are still others who too
closely resemble the little girl who told her
mother that contribution box was passed to
her and that there was lots of money in it,
but she didn’t take any out, expecting to be
praised for her self-denial. This is a nega—
tive kind of Christianity, which does little
credit to the worshipper. The Rev. Plato
Johnson seems to have met this crisis in a
recent sermon, and though his language is
not particularly choice his ideas are very
clear. He said, at the conclusion of an
eloquent sermon, “Bredren, dc plate will
now pass arouu’ an’ I has a word to say on
de ’portant subjeck 0v givin’. De peoples
wct puts boot buttons and lead niekles
inter de plate may pass for orful free givers’
mongst der fellow sinners, but dcy can’t
cheat de Lord. I won’t to press on your
minds dot fact-—d‘ey can’t cheat dc Lord.
Wen de Lord sed He liked a cheerful giver
He didn't hab his eyes on dat sort of trash.
You can put dis down asa sartin shore thing,
brcderen, dat dose wat gibs dc chu'cll wat

ment de Lord will say to sich men, ‘I don't
know you cone button fellers, go sit on do
back seats.’ New, den, pass de plate.”
With the removal of Temple Bar, the old
decayed gateway to the city of London,
Childsd’. 00., the oldest banking house in
London, vacated the odd, cramped uneven
rooms over the gateway which they had
occupied for over two centuries at $100 (£20)
a year, and moved to an adjoining building
many tens of old ledgers and account books,
of all sorts and sizes, in which are method-
ically arranged the cash transactions of the
bank with Neil Gwynne, King William III,
and his Queen Mary, and other notable per-
sons, the transactions ith Oliver Cromwell
being lost. The hist ry of Childs’ bank is
full of romance. Hogarth has immortalized
the run on it in 1789, when Sarah, afterward
Duchess of Marlborough, took all the gold
she could rake together among her friends,
packed it in a coach and bréught it down to
"the sign of the marygold at Temple Bar”
to help the partners. Then in the next
century there was the run-away marriage of
the Earl of Westmoreland with old Child's
daughter. I “Suppose you were inlove with
a girl, Mr. Childs,” said his lordship in an
easytone at the dinner table,\ “and her
father was not likely to be brought to terms,
what would you do?” “Why run away
with her, of course." The Earl did'this
with Miss Sarah Anne Childs that very night
Childs hotly pursued, and Lord Westmore-
land fludiug him close behind stood up in
the postchaise and shot the leading horse in
Child‘s team, causing a spill, and enabling
him to reach Gretna Green and have the
ceremony performed before the incensed
father could come up.

New China for the White 'I-Iouse.
A Washington correspondent of the Cin-
cinnati Gazette says—At last the White House
China is to be renewed. Since Mrs. Lincoln’s
untutored taste ordered the set with its brll —
liant Solferino covering and centre piece of
shield, stars and stripes and spread eagle, this
terrible national porcelain has been spread
before the startled gaze of Americans and
foreigners alike. The only thing about the
matter I in the least regret is that the 'new
set is ordered from theIHaviland Co., Limo-
ges, France. It would have been so much
more creditable had some of our own. manu-
facturers been allotted the task, With the
injunction to excel in this branch, as they

A few extracts from the great number re.
lceived by the most eminent musicians in the
United States may not be inappropriate:
I have never seen a Piano which equals the
Weber Pianoforte.‘ Geo. F. Bristow
The Weber Piano occupies justly the first
rank amongst the Best Pianos. J. N. Pattison
The Weber Pianos cannot possibly be sur-
passed. . S. B. Mlle.
I used the Weber Grand Piano because I
consider it the best in the world.
, Harry Sanderson.
The Weber Piano possesses everything that
can be wished for in a Piano. 0. W. Morgan
The Weber Piano ranks foremost amongst
the best manufactured. William Mason
The Weber Pianos stand first amongst the
splendid Pianos produced inthis Country.
Clara N. Blinkc'rlrof
. A ten years’ experience satisfies me that
the Weber Pianos are unapproachable.

We see her light—we'll have her new;
We seize the flowery-the insect? No}
Such sports are childhood’s every joy ;
And ardent wish to grasp some toy 3.
A race with fleeting, flying things, .

Perhaps st eve, around the hearth,
Winter's fire is blazing bright,
And throwing forth it's warmth and light;
Perhaps we listened to the prayer
That parents offered nightly there ;
Perhaps we saw a mother’s tear,
A mother's love, a- mother's fear;
A bosom high with anguish, heaving.
At parting-within only child ;
To think perhaps that hero's leaving
An Eden ho'me fer desert wild;
We think how little did we‘love
That one that within often move;
How oft our little hands rebelled,
How early passion often swelled ~-

As keen as viper's poison fang,

She shed forthee in thy young yesrsl
O, wicked child! csn’st thou atone
For mother’s sigh, and tear, and groan ?
What is there for contemnedaffection,
Can be a proper sacrifice ?
What ofiering for her spurned direction
That ever can suffice ?
A Vision of the Night
BY JAMES MCKAY.
At the close of a sultw summer's day,
When nature in her regal way
Had spread her mantle green and fair
On smiling beauty every where.
In glen and vale, and sloping side
Where midnight fairies love to glide,
And flowers blossom side by side
To court each lingering ray.
Near toys quiet, romantic dell,
Where fancy weaves her magic spell,
There sprightly Willie used to dwell
Contented as the day.
He often rambled by the brook
Wlien culling leaves from Nature's book,
And oft a youthful fancy took
'l‘o maids who came thatway.
And often when the shades of night
Brings glittering stars to mortal sight, '
Within the fragrant-scented grove, '
Young Willie sought and found rcpose.
Imbued with all of Nature's charms,
Not thinking in the least that harm
Would come to break his tranquil joys
While dreaming of the wanton toys.
For though he was a bashful youth,
He loved the pretty maidens scath—
But never thought to do them, harm,
Yet never could resist their charms.
While on his grassy bed one night,
A queenly figure robed in white.
Attended by her royal train
Invited Willie to remain.
He felt enchanted for awhile,
And then consented with a smile;
Fornever had he hoped to meet
A maide' n so divinely sweet.
While all within the leafy shade,
Where Willie had so often strayed;
Sweet strains of music did resound
And lights were streaming all around. ,
There, warlike chiefs in armor glancing,
With fairy maids were lightly dgncing, -
While others by their “pillow;
Sat laughing ’mndmuaum .
Young Willie mingledwitil the wrong
Andjoisfilinmy I fairy Ions:
While merrily, too, his feet did prance,
throughout the mazes of therhnce.
Themsiden who at first had spoken.
New gave to Willie rugby‘s token
or love more deep than polargseu,
More sweet thunder! in the breeze.
While thus the happy moments counting.
Poor Willie drank from, besuty's fountain.
Till he'like many an other boy" . '
Wsscsptured by the wanton toy.
He loved her dearly in return, .
,With passion deep his heart did hard;
And tenderly he often pressed
Her shining tresses to hiobreut.
.On golden wings the moments passes,
While all partook from brimming glasses ;
’Till Bacchus slumbered on'thebdlrd.‘ ~ -.
While trying to outdo the rest ' ‘ '
In fairy sports and fairy jests,
A night bird vented forth a scream '
That woke poor Willie from his dream.
The jovial throng had disappeared.
And not a sound of mirth was. heard .
Within the grove where he had been
Enchanted by the fairy queen. .
_ JEN AND JOE.
Dear wife. it don’t seem long ago
Since as the happy thoughts go back
To where we started down life’s track,
I cannot find along the Way
One cloud that darkened any day,
But that our love soon put to flight ‘
The hideous monster from our sight.
And so I thought while sitting here
Of those old days to us so dear,
And how beneath the moon’s pale glow
Your lips first dared to whisper Joe ;
Ah, wife, how happy Twas then
As I replied and called you Jen;
But that was fifty yearskago,
And you were Jen andI were Joe.
Yes, wife, full fifty years have gone
Since life was full of dreams and song.
Without a thought or any fears
But that weld love through coming years ;
And though love dreamsare' oft untrue, _’
'We guessed much better than some do;
You said we’d love all through our life,
And so we have, my precious out. 3
But time so alters everything ,
That thoughts alone oanoldtfmrs bring ;
And when I've nothing‘elss to do
I bring them up in sweet review;
And I suppose 'twill ever be' '
While life shall cling to you and me;
We'll not ferget the long ago, -
When you were Jen and I was‘Joe.
