Baby’s Visitor.
My baby boy set on the floor,
His blue eyes were full of wonder,
For he had never seen before
That baby in the mirror door—
What kept the two, so near, asunder?
He leand etoward the golden head
The mirror border framed within,
Until twin checks, like roses red,
Lay side by side, then softly said :
“I can’t get out; can you come in?"

A Virginia Reminiscence.
One of the most remarkable incidents of
the Presidential campaign of 1872, if not of
any political contest, occurred at. Petershurg,
and is now forcibly recalled,says the National
Republican, by the presencegof Colonel Cam-
eron’s name at the head of a state ticket sup-
ported by both republicans and democrats,
with not only about equal unanimity but with
every prospect of being elected. Colonel
Kelly, then mayor of Richmond, an orator of
considerable power, made a speech to admit.
ocratic audience at I’ctersburg, in which he
was so unwise as to endorse the Ku—Kluk and
denounce General Grant as a bribe-taker and
an idiot. Err-Governor H. H. Wells spoke
from the same platform at a republican meet-
ing on the following evening to a vast audi-
ence composed of both races and belonging
to both political parties. While commenting
near the close of his speech, upon Mr.
Kelly’s endorsement of the Ku—Kluk and
reading from a copy of the speech printed in
the papers of the same day, the speaker’s eye
fell for the first time upon this extract :
“And now what shall I say of the dummy
driving ;liis horse along the Jersey beach,
taking bribes and calling\himself the Presi-
dent f"
“ Knowing,” said he, in a voice choked
with sudden and uncontrollable emotion,
“Mayor Kelly as an accomplished lawyer
and scholar,’a gentleman noted for his refine-
ment and culture, ordinarily courteous and
polite, I am surprised that he, of all men, the
chief magistrate of the queenly city of Rich-
mond, who knows so well what decent re-
spect for high official station requires, should
have been betrayed into the use of such
grossly improper language; but as he has
asked the question I will answer with an-
other," and then, stopping short, trembling
with excitement, his face ashen white, there
rang out on, the still night over the heads of
that great concourse of excited listeners in a
voice trembling with pathos but clear as a
bell :—— '
“ Who was the matchless hero of Denelson,
Shiloh, and Vicksburg?
“ It was the dummy driving his horse
along the Jersey coast!
“ Who was it that led a hundred thousand
heroes to victory-over Lee and his befo're uu-
conquered army from the Rapidan to the
Wilderness, to the James, to Petersburg, to
Richmond, 'and the old:applc tree at Appo-
mattox ?
“ It was th deummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach!
“ Who was it that planned, that flanked,
that fought, that shelled, that charged at
Fort Steadmau, at Fort H——, and Fort
Damnation ?
“ at was the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach! '
“Who was it that, seizing the tiger of se-
cession by the throat and holding him there,
said to those who‘caviled, to those who hoped
and to those who feared, ‘I’ll fight it out on
this line if it takes all summer’ ?
-“It was the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach!
“ Who was it, after the victory was won
and the Union safe, said to Lee and the con-
quered be respected, ‘Returuto your homes,
and you shall not be disturbed by the United
States authorities so long as you observe your
parole and obey the laws of the place where
you reside ’?
“ It was the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach?
“Who was it that said to Lee, ‘Let the
soldiers of your army who own the horses in
their charge take them home, with them, for
they will need them for their spring plough-
ing and other farm work’ P
“ It was the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach! A
“ Who was it, when Lee, Wise, and other
confederate generals were indicted by aVir-
ginia grand jury, said: ‘The officers and men
paroled at Appomattox cannot be tried for
treason. Good faith, as well as true policy,
dictates that we should obaerve the condition
of that convention ’?
“ It was the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach!
“Who was it that said, ‘ Six years having
elapsed since the last gun was fired, is it not
time that the disabilities imposed by the
Fourteenth amendment should be removed ? ’
“It was the dummydrivlng his horse along

“Who was it that restored Virginia and
reclad her in the full, bright, shining garb of
a sovereign state, andlnow, calm and serene,
unavenged,patient and faithful,dares unmind-
ful _cf the threats, the abuse, and the lying
slanders heaped upon him,to do his duty alike
to friend and foe, to God, his country, and
himself ? - 3
“ It is the dummy driving the horse along
the Jersey beach.”
The effect of that passionate appeal cannot
be described. Men wept, shouted, and sang
the refrain at the end of each sentiment, " It
was the dummy driving his horse along the
Jersey beach.” Among those who heard the
whole or part of the speech was Colonel Cam-
eron, and of it he said at the time: " That
speech has immortalized Major Kelly; for it
will go with him to his death.”
Oregon’s Strange Lake.
Jacksonville (Or.) Paper.
Several of our citizens returned last week
from the Great Lunden Lake, situated in the
Cascade Mountains, about seventy-five miles
northeast of Jacksonville. This lake ri-
vals the famous valley of Sinbad the sailor.
It is thought to average 2,000 feet down to
water all around. The depth of the water is
unknown, and its surface is smooth and un-
ruflled, as it is so far below the surface of the
mountains that air currents do not effect it.
Its length is estimated at twelve or fifteen
miles and its width ten or twelve. There is
a mountain in the centre having trees upon
it. It lies still, silent and mysterious in the
bosom of the everlasting hills, like a. huge
well scooped out by hands of the giant genii
of the mountains in the unknown ages gone
by, and around in the primeval forests watch
and ward are keeping. The visiting party
fired a rifle into the water several times at an
angle of forty-five degrees and were able to
note several seconds of time from the report
of the gun until the ball struck the water.
Such s'eems incredible, but is vouched for by
our most reliable citizens. The lake is cer
tainly a most remarkable curiosity.
It may be true, remarks the Tribune, that
there is no political issue between the two
parties just now, but it is also true that there
is plenty of record for both. The Republi-
can record is known of all men. Its fruits
are unparalleled prosperity throughout the
country. Of the Democratic record, what
can any men say that is favorable? It con.
sists of opposition to every Republican act
for a quarter of a century. Indeed, all the
good which has been done in that time has
been accomplished in spite of the Democrat-
ic party. It requires no new issue to secure
A New England Farm.
Martin Kellogg in Californian for September.
In a quiet country town of N w England,
is a farm which used to be my earthly para-
dise. My own father’s place was very pleas-
ant in its way, but it called for a little too
much work, from the~time when a boy could
ride a horse to plow out corn or follow the
hay-cart with a rake. My grandfather’s
farm, on the contrary, was a place for infl—
nite leisure and sport. The standing invita-
tion he gave me was to “ come down and do
up the mischief.” Then, too, there was the
novelty of hidden no'oksin houses and barns,
of unexplored meadows and pastures. Far
up on the hillside the woodland lost itself in
an unbroken forest, where the small boy
could easily imagine beasts of prey. Under
the scattering trees that fringed it, foxes had
their holes by the side of a sheltering rock.
Great was my admiration for the larger boy
who could entrap them. Back of the farm
buildings was a famous echo rock, from
which, as I stood and shouted down the
hill, my shrill tones were returned with
startling (listiuctness. - A log aqueduct
brought down from the mountain the most
delicious water, which poured with constant
music into the great tub on the kitchen
porch. Just back of the barns were giant
walnut trees, whose-nuts gave equal pleasure
in the gathering and the eating, and whose
fragrant leaves allured the swarming bees to
new hives. A sturdy butternut helped to
vary the entertainment of the winter-even-
ings. Wide-spreading buttonwoods shaded
the house in front and od‘ered pleasant loit—
ering to the travelers on the high road.
There was no cross-road near. One straight
country street ran, with a few right-angled
tributaries, for miles along the lower upland
of the valley. This farm extended down to
and across the rivet. Below the street were
a garden and a barn, and in the high
stone wall a wide gateway which gave on-
trance to the upper and the lower meadows.
The upper meadows were safe from floods ;
but on their edge, irregular as the river bank
itself, though at along distance from it, was
a deep slope which letone down to ther over-
flowed bottom lands, This slope was the
favorite home of the burrowing woodchuck.
In the lower meadows the patient swathman
swung his scythe, knowing nothing of the
modern mowing machine. Thither the boys
carried the forenoon and the afternoon lunch
to be washed down with copious drafts of
cold coffee or molassestand water. If the
mowing was beyond the river, there was a
“ pole" to cross—long, swaying, and seem-
ingly perilous, with flattened top, but with
no hand rail. If the boy could not pass
safely over, he must take his ducking in the
shallow summer stream. At the river-
bends, were the eddies had were deeper
hollows, where places for swimming and
trouting. Beyond the bottom land was an-
other low upland, with a dismantled house,
under whose steps a long racer had been seen
to glide, in whose deserted chambers bats
flittcd at twilight. The whole estate contain-
ed only a little over three hundred acres, but
to me it seemed almost a dukedom.
Dutitul Sous.
Roger Sherman was one of the old fash—
ioned great men which Connecticut was in
the habit of producing some eighty or a hun-
dred years ago, He was brought up to fear
God and honor his parents, then considered
essential traits of a good education.
After Mr. Sherman had become a great
man,;his widowed mother came to live with
him. One morning, at. family prayers, a
little son of Mr. Sherman’s refusing to stop
misbehaving, was boxed on the ear by the
father. The old lady was childish in her
love for grandchildren, and their punishment
always roused her. Rising from her seat,
she hobbled over to where her son was read-
ing the bible, and giving him a slap on the
ear, said:
“If you box your child, I’ll box mine.”
Mr. Sherman went on reading the Script-
ures as if nothing had occurred. But to his
own children his quiet manner was a most
impressive lesson in obedience to the fourth
commandment.
A correspondent writes us that during the
visit of General 8—. at the white House,
an incident happened which exhibits General
Garfield as an obedient son.
It was the practice of the President to run
his eye over the morning papers while eating
his breakfast. 0n the morning after General
S—’s arrival, while at breakfast, the Pres-
ident, treating his guest as an old, familiar
friend, began reading the newspapers. The
customary act annoyed his venerable mother,
whose notions of courtesy are of the old
fashioned sort. “J amos! James 1" she ex-
claimed, “ put away the papers; General,
8— is with us.” '
“ Yes, mother," smilingly replied the duti-
ful son.
“ Yes, James,” continued the old lady,
“General S——— does not come every day, and
the papers do.”
The papers were not read that morning at
the breakfast table.
“She Hath Come Aforehand.”
We are expected to bring flowers for the
bride to wear, and for the dead, and both
are suitable; but are we careful enough to
bring flowers to the aged? They are soon to
give way for the youth, on whom we look as
the pride and hope of the future. Let us
not forget to bring sweet flowers and kindly
words and deeds for those so soon to pass
away. We shall never forget our alabaster
boxes of ointment, even though very costly,
when our dear ones are gone. Mary did not
know that her iprecious ointment was an-
ointing 'him, the Master, for his burial.
“Aye, how much there is in that word
“Aforehand!" So much precious ointment
of loving appreciation often comes after-
ward. when it was to late. Pillows of flow-
ers are given to the dead, who cannot re-
ceive them, when perhaps one little bunch
of violets would have made a resting for a
tired heart, if it had only come aforehand."
I have in my mind now a family where
there are two very aged people, and it is
one of the loveliest sights to observe the
never-ceasing attention and almost worship-
ful love bestowed on these aged ones. Alas,
it is not always so! but I forbear giving an
opposite picture. Let us get a practical les-
son for our daily life from this word “afore-
hand,” which shall save us from the regrets
of the “afterward”.—-Adoooate and Guard—

Good Morning.
Don’t forget to say “good morning!”
Say it your parents, your brothers. your sis-
ters, your schoolmates, your teachers—and
say it cheerfully and with a smile; it will do
you good and do your friends good. There’s
'ing” heartily spoken that helps to make hope
fresher and work lighter. It seems really to
make the morning good and to be a prephecy
of a good day to come after it. And if this
be true of the “good morning," it is so also
of all kind, he‘artsome greetings. They
cheer the discouraged, rest the tired one,
somehow make the wheels of life run more
smoothly. Be liberal with them, then, and
let ' no morning pass, however dark and
gloomy it may be, that you do not help at
least to brighten by your smiles and cheerful
words.

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 29, 1881.
A Romantic Affair.
Nashville girls are whispering to one an
other about a delightfully-romantic affair in
which a local Juliet and 9. Louisville Romeo
bear the leading parts. The young persons
concerned met last August at the Blue Lick
resort, and while drinking the bitter waters
they sipped the sweets wherewith Cupid
conceals small heart-burnings and little ag-
onies innumerable. The upshot of the court-
ing at the springs was that the girl’s father
refused to countenance the lover’s suit. The
old gentleman’s natural deafness was intensi—
fied a hundred-fold in the young man’s case.
Father and daughter returned to Nashville,
and, October having passed without further
trouble in the matter, the former began to
look upon the case as an incident of mid-
summer madness—easily on and lightly off.
Therefore when, on Tuesday of last week,
he was asked by his daughter to drop in on
his way down town and deliver a note to a
clergyman, he complied without suspicion
of what would follow. The note contained
a request that the clergyman should call upon
the young woman that morning. He went
to the house and in the parlor found a party
of young folks, central among whom were
the Louisville lover and his Nashville lass
Both were dressed for traveling. The preach-
er was surprised that he should be called
upon to marry them at such short notice, but
as the bride was under her father’s roof in
broad daylight and as the father himself had
delivered the summons he performed the
ceremony without unnecessary ado. The
girl’s mother was rocking contentedly in her
sitting room overhead, oblivious of the pro-
ceedings a few yards away. The few guests
and witnesses dispersed quietly and the bridal
party walked to the depot, whence in ten
minutes they left for thenorth. A tornado
swept through the house that afternoon, but
at last accounts Cupid’s clipper was skipping
along the lakes towards Chicago before a fair
breeze with all sails set.
Brother Gardner on the Election

“I would like to spoke a few words to
Telescope Perkins, if he am in do hall to-
night,” said the president as the meeting op
cued.
. The brother wiped off his mouth and ad-
vanced to the platform, and Brother Gardner
continued : _
“Brudder Perkins, I met you at 8 o’clock

“Yes, sah.”
“You war’ what do white. folks call slew-
ed.”
“I’ze mighty sorry, sah.”
“You were full of glory. You felt (lat you

unable to read or write, was only followin’
in do footsteps of intelligent, cddicated white

of do ’lective franchise !”
“But I won‘t do it again, ssh,” pleaded
Brother Perkins.
"You kin sot down,” quietly remarked the
dresident. “Dat same night I heard alder-
mcn bawlin like mules bekase some favorite

you for follerin’ de example of leadin’ white

Traveling by Compass.
A story is told of an old hunter in Michi-
gan, who, when the country was new, got
lost in the woods several times. He was
told to buy a pocket compass, which he did,
and a friend explained to him its use. He
soon got lost, and lay out as usual. When
found he was asked why he did not travel by
the compass, he said he did not dare to. He
wished to go north, and he tried hard to make
the thing point north; but twasn’t no use.
“twould shake, shake, right round and point
south-cast every time.”

W110 “from Mary and Her Lamb
When shall we ever see the last in “notes
and queries" columns of those old, old strays
“Consistency’s a jewel," “Though lost to
sight to memory dear,” who wrote “Rock me
to sleep, mother,” and who also wrote
“Mary had a little lamb?" Every now and
then we see these last-mentioned verses at-
tributed to one John Roulstone’ who usually
figures as a young Harvard student who died
shortly after graduation~as he did—but who
now appears as “proprietor of a popular
riding school, sixty years ago,” This is
false in both variations. Mrs. Sarah Josepha
Hale wrote the rhymes when she lived in or
near Boston, not quite half a century ago,
and a few years ago when the Roulstone
story came up freshly, Mrs. Hale wrote a
letter to the Republican. narrating all the
circumstances connected with its writing,
the first publication, etc. The verses, like
most of those which people get up disputes
over, are of no sort of consequence '; almost
anybody might have written them, but Mrs.
Hale felt,it a hardship to be cheated out of
her fame, and not even a life time-of editing
Godey’s Lady Book is so good a title to im-
mortality as that nursery rhyme.

The New York and N ew England.
The New York Times of Wednesday print-
ed the following.
Jay Gould will notify Wall street to-day
that he has secured control of the New
York and New England Railroad Company.
He will also probably make known plans for
insuring a permanent and direct New York
connection. The transfer books of the com-
pany close this afternoon as is required in ad.
vancc of the annual meeting of shareholders.
The registration upon those books at the
closing hour, it is stated, will show that a
clear majority of the stock is in Mr. Gould’s
possession or in the hands of his friends.
Russell Sage and Cyrus W. Field arc with
him in this new deal. An associate of Mr.
Gould spoke freely to a Times reporter last
night of the purposes of the Gould—Sage-
Field pool. New projects of consequence
are declared to have connection with this
movement of these capitalists who have re-
cently become so closely associated. '
“ Mr. Gould has-long had his eye on the
New York and New England railroad,” said ‘
the Times‘s informant last night, “and as
soon as he made certain of his grip upon the
elevated railroad system of the city he began
to make vigorous moves to get control of the
New York and New England. He believes
that in that road is the key to the eastern
trade as against Vanderbilt. Mr. Sage and
Mr. Field enlisted heartily in Gould’s plan,
and became as enthusiastic as he. Virtually
an illimitable amount of ready money was at
hand and these three gentlemen have been
busily buying stock and bonds for a long time
past. They invested with the market in
their favor; tc-morrow the footings on the
company’s transfer books will show that they
hold at least $11,000,000 out of the $20,000.-
000 of the company’s stock. Wall Street
has not suspected such a game was in pro-
gress. Every move has been made under
Cover. The New York and New England,
you know, has recently finished its line to
the Hudson river, opposite Newburv. The
Pennsylvania Central and the Erie run to
that point in connection, and the Lehigh Val-
ley and the New Jersey Central have assured
Mr. Gould that they propose to push their
lines forward to the same point without de-
lay. This, you see, will give the road a
business heretofore unimagined in the way
of coal transportation into New England.
And, of course, these connecting lines will
benefit proportionately. Newburg will dc-
vclop into the first business city on the Hud-
son below Albany.
“But Mr. Gould finds this line t o the
Hudson river uncompletcd. This s the work
of others. His attention for the time will be
turned toward a direct connection for New
York traffic. At present the trains on the
road come into the city over the line of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford, pas-
sengers being landed at the Grand Central
depot. It is probable that this arrangement
will continue for a time, thbugh eventually a
change will necessarily take place. Mr.
Gould has made what he considersa very
liberal proposition to the New Haven people,
and they have intimated their intention to
close with him. But Mr. Vanderbilt may
have influence enough to break this union,
inimical to his interests as it will prove in
connection with the projects of Gould.
The landing of passengers at the Forty-sec-
ond street depot will soon cease if the New
Haven road complies with the plans which
have been submitted to it, and which it has
been hinted will be accepted. On the wes-
tern division of the road trains now reach
New York by connecting at Brewsters with
the New York City and Northern to One
Hundred and Fifty-fifth street. This ar-
rangement will also be continued for the
time. and possibly may not be in any wise
changed. With the New Haven route, how-
ever, it will be different. The new control
of the New Yorkand New England demands
that the New Haven shall break away from
the regular route (so far as the New York
and New England trains are concerned) be-
fore reaching the Harlem, and shall cross the
river directly to the Second avenue elevated
railway Line. Mr. Gould proposes to throw
a bridge across the Harlem at this point, and
by an easy grade trains can be sent upon the
elevated tracks and taken down town. This
relates to freight as well as to passenger
trains.
“ And just here comes in the newest Gould
project. It is planned to build a big depot
at some central point in the city for the
accommodation of this traffic. This depot
will not be much, if any smaller than Mr.
Vanderbilt’s Grand Central. As yet it is not
been determined where it shall be situated.
It may be at Forty-second street and Second
avenue, but the likelihood is that it will be
placed further down town, probably at.
Twenty-third street. Trains, by this plan,
you see, will run without change from Bos-
ton and other New England points through
to the center of this city, and passengers
will he landed at the elevated railway eta-
tionsjust wheresoever they may choose to
alight, without any change of cars. This
will be much in advance of advantages
which can be offered by any other line, and
in it may be found sufficient cause for extra
exertions by Mr. Vanderbilt looking to the
taking of the New Haven road from the
agreement with Mr. Gould. But Mr. Gould
will not. be much hurt if the New Haven road
does fly off at a tangent. In fact he has al-
ready informed them that he is ready for
such armove and is prepared to meet it. He
has canvassed the cost of tracks from Dan-
bury, Conu., direct to this city, starting from
the New York and New England's main line
at Danbnry. He is ready to build those
tracks, and in the end he will build them,
and thus give the elevated roads aninportance
which they have not heretofore been able to
reach. The Second avenue elevated railway
structure is strong enough to bear a surface
railroad equipments, and heavily loaded
freight cars can be run over those elevated
tracks without danger of any sort.”
Mr. William H. Vanderbilt said to a Times
reporter last night that he had information
touching Mr. Jay Gould’s deal in the New
England, but Mr. Vanderbilt smiled and in-
sisted that he saw nothing very remarkable
in the scheme as it had been told to him. He
expressed “no fear of being extinguished”
by the new project, in which he could dis-
cover “ many weaknesses.”
The man who travels on the railroad, and
sits down by the side of lone females while
laboring under the impression that he recog-
nizes a likeness in their faces to his wife’s
aunt’s cousin, met his match on one of the
roads in this vicinity, lately. He sat down
in a half of a seat, the other half of which
wasoccupied by a pleasant faced young lady.

the astonished man. u“Wl:at led you to sup-
pose I had such names ’1’” “Excuse me,” was
the quiet reply. “but I thought certain you
must be first cousin to a brass foundry.”
The man fell over two seats and kicked a
bird cage half way down the car in his basic
to get into the smoker, while the young lady
smiled a gentle smile behind her handker-
chief. It was a proof of the old adage, that
a witty answer turneth away bores—Oil

Forth they set at early morn,
Happy in their hope, ‘
Adown the path and through the corn,
And by a grassy slope;
Then o'er a stretch of clean see-land,
And reached a slippery pier;
And there the brother raised his hand
And said, .“We’ll cast lines here.”
And, oh, the tremor of her heart
As tackle straight he set!
She deemed her brother had more art
Than any angler yet.
And at each bite she felt a glow
Of pride, that made her speak
In louder tones; there came a flow
Of blood to either cheek.
At last a catch! the silvery sides
Came twinkling o’er the pier—-
She shrieked with joy; but soon the tides
Of joy were changed to fear.
As full she looked upon the thing
That writhcd before her eyes,
The heart felt for its suffering,
She burst in tears and sighs.
And all her day was clouded dim
With thoughts she could not speak ;
The voice was low ; she stood by him
But pale was now her check.
Her first glimpses of the ill and pain
That haunts the world, that day
Disturbed her heart, and ne’er again
Will she so gladly play.
Ah, little maid, that mystery
O’ershadows all our week,
And unto many, as to thee,
Has turned the bright to dark.
The Love of God.
Like a cradle, rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro—
Like a mother’s sweet looks dropping
On the little face below—
Hangs the green earth, swinging. turning,
Jarring, noiseless, safe and slow ;
Falls the light of God’s face bending
Down and watching as below.
And as feeble babes that suflfer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best,
So, when we are weak and wretched,
By our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that God’s great patience,
Holds us closest, loves us best.
Oh, great Heart of God! Whose loving
Cannot hindered be, nor crossed;
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost—
Lovc divine! of such great loving
Only mother’s know the cost— ‘
Cost of love, which, all love passing
Gave a son to save the lost!

The Old Bro wn School House.
REV. DWIGHT WILLIAMS.
It- stood on a_bleak country corner,
The houses were distant and few,
A meadow lay back in the distance,
eyond rose the hills to our view.
The roads crossing there at right angles
Unlravcrsed by pomp and array,
Were cropped by the cows in the summer;
I’ve watched them there many a day.
In memory’s hall hangs the picture,
And years of sad care are between;
It hangs with a beautiful gliding,
And well do I love it, I ween.
It stood on a bleak country corner,
But boyhood’s young heart made it warm;
It glowed in the sunshine of summer,
"1‘ was cheerful in winter and storm.
The teacher, 0 well I remember,
My heart has longkcpt him ii place;
Perhaps by the world he’s forgotten,
I-lis memory no touch can efface
He met us with smiles on the threshold,
And in that rude temple of art
He left, with the skill of a workman.
His touch on the mind and the heart.
Oh, gay were the sports of the noontide
When winter winds frolicked with snow;
We laughed at the freakS‘of the storm-king,
'And shouted him on all a-glow,
We dashed at his beautiful sculpture
Regardless of all its array,
We plunged in the feathery snow drifts,
And sported the winter away.
We sat on the old-fashioned benches,
. Beguiled with our pencil and slate;
We thought of the opening future,
And dreamed of our manhood’s estate.
0, days of my boyhood, I bless ye,
While looking from life’s busy prime,
The treasures are lingering with me
I gathered in life’s early time.
0, still to that bleak country corner,
Turns my heart in wearincss yet;
Where leading my gentle young sisters,
With youthful companions I met.
I cast a fond glance o’er the meadow,
The hills just behind it I see,
Away in the charm of the distance,
Old school house! a blessing on thee.
The Two Gates.
A pilgrim once (so runs an ancient tale),
Old, WOl‘ll, and spent, crept down a shadowed
vale :
On either hand rose mountains bleak and
high;
bill was the gusty air, and dark the sky;
The path was rugged and his feet were bare;
His faded check was seamed by pain and
care,
IIis heavy eyes upon the ground were cast,
And every step seemed feebler than the last.
The valley entird where a naked rock
Rose sheer from earth to heaven. as if to
mock
The pilgrim who had crept tint toilsome
way; '
But while his dim and weary eyes essay
To find an outlet, in the mountain side
A pondcrcus sculptured brazen door he spied,
And tottering toward it with fastlfailing
breath,
Above the portal read, “ Tun GATE or
Dram."
He could not stay his feet, that led thereto ;
It yielded to his touch, and passing through,
He came into a world all bright and fair;
Blue were the heavens, and balmy was the

Andrlo! the blood of youth was in his
