She ?i? so Strang and I 90 shy. But yet Wf loved indifferent things? Tbe *prou>ing buds, tb?- birds in turn: ; And Time stood still and wreathed his wwjts With rosy links from June to Jane. For her what task to dare or dol What peril tempt, what hardship bear ? But with her, ah I she never knew *ly heart, and what was hidden there! And she with roe, ?0 coid and coy, Seemed like a maid bereft ot sense ; Bat in a crowd, ail life and joy. And tull of blushful impudence. She married ! Well, a woman Deeds A mate ber lifi? and love to share? And little cares -pri".p up like weeds, And played around her elbow chair. And y^ars rolled by, but I, content, Trimmed ruy ou?- lamp ard kepi it bn^hi^ Till age's touch my hair besprent With rays and gleans of silver light. And then it ehanred I took the book Which s*e had read in days gone by, And as I read such patemn >ok My sool, I needs mo?: curse or cry. For here and there ber l"?v was writ In old. half faded pencil signs, Aa il she yielded bit by bit Her heart in dots and under line*. Ah! silvered loo ! too late you look' I know it. L?t me here record This maxim?"Lerui no maid a book Unlet* you read it afterward "* Swearing.?The absurdity and utter folly of swearing is admirably set forih in the following anecdote of Beelzebub and his imps : The latter went out in the morning each to command his set of men, one the murderers, another the liars, and another the swearers, Ac. At evening they stopped at the mouth of a cave. The question arose among them, who commanded the meanest set of men. The subject was debated at length, but with out coming to a decision. Finally, his Satanic majesty was called upon to de cide the matter in dispute. Whereupon he said : The murderer got something for killing, the thief for stealing, and the liar for lying, but the swearer was the meanest of all, he served without pay. They were his majesty's best subjects : for while they were costless their name was legion, and presented the largest division in his (Satan's) employ. A Totgh Cigar.?Joseph was a bad boy. He had succeeded in blinding his mother for some time as to his imbibing propensiiies. One night Joseph came in before the old lady had retired. He sat down, and with a lojk of semi-intoxica ted wisdom, began conversing about the goodness of the crops and other matters. He got along very well until he espied what he supposed to be a cigar on the mantlepiece; he caught it, and placing one end in his mouth, began very graye ly to light it at the candle. lie drew and puffed until he was getting red in the face. The old lady's eyes w ere opened and she addressed him?"If the takes thai tenpenny nail for a cigar, it is time thee went to bed." tiT The WoonEooket (K. I.,) Patriot he.idi ita '?
