The flowers that now in beauty spring, A hundred years to come ' The rosy lip, The lofty brow, The heart that beats So gaily now— O! where will be love's beaming eye, Joy's pleasant smiles, and sorrow's sigh, A hundred years to come ? Who'll press for gold this crowded street, A hundred years to come ? Who'll tread yon church with willing feet, A hundred years to come ? Pale, trembling age, And fiery youth, And childhood, with Its brow of truth, The rich and poor, on land and sea,, Where will the mighty millions be, A hundred years to come? We all within our graves shall sleep, A hundred years to come ! No living soul for us will weep, A hundred years to come . But other men Our lands will till, And others then Our street will fill : While other birds will sing as gay, As bright the sunshine as to-day, A hundred years to come ? A GEM. Once Ironi a cloud a drop of rain Fell trembling in the sea, And when she saw the widespread main Shame veiled her modesty. "What place in this wide sea have I ? What room is left for me? Sure it were better that I die, In this immensity ! " But while her self-abasing fear Its lowliness confessed, A shell received and welcom'd her, And press'd her to its breast. And nourished there, the drop became A pearl for royal eyes— Exalted by its lowly shame, And humbled but to rise. miscellaneous. THE Qi Ah LIES CMS (RIB. A man had been in the habit of stealing corn from his neighbor, who was a Quaker. Every night he would go softiy to the crib, and fill his bag with the ears which the good old Quaker's toil had placed there. Every morning the old gentleman observed a diminution of his corn pile. This was very annoying, and must be stopped—but how? Many an one would have said, "Take a gun, conceal yourself, wait till he comes, and fire." Others would have said, "Catch the villain, and have him sent to jail." But the Quaker was not prepared to enter in to any snch measures. He wanted to punish theotlender and at the same time bring about his restoration if possible. So he fixed a sort of trap close to the hole through which the man would thrust his arm in getting the corn. The wicked neighbor proceeded on his unho ly errand at the hour of midnight, with bag in hand. Unsuspectingly he thrust his hand in to the crib to seize an ear, when, !o ! he found himself unable to withdraw it' In vain he tug ged, and pulled, and sweated, and alternately cried and cursed. His hand was fast, and every effort to release it only made it the mare secure. After a long time the tumult in his breast meas urably subsided. He gave over his useless struggles, and began to look around him. All was silence and repose* Good men were sleep ing comfortably in their beds, while he was compelled to keep a dreary, disgraceful watch through the remainder ofthat long and tedious night, his hand in constant pain from the pres sure of the cramp which held it* His tired limbs, compelled to sustain his wearv body, would fain have sunk beneath him, and his heavy eyes would have closed in slumber, but no! there was no rest, no sleep for him. There he must stand and watch the progress of the night, and at once desire and dread the return of morning. Morning cama at last, and the Qua ker looked out of his window and found that he had "caught the man." What wasto be done? Some would say, "Go out and give him a good cowhiding just as he stands, and then release him; that'll cure him." But not so said the Quaker. Such a course would have sent the man away embit tered, and muttering curses of revenge. The good old man hurried on his clothes, and started at once to the relief and punishment of his pris oner. '•Good morning friend," said he, as he came within speaking distance. "How does the do?" The poor culprit made no answer, but burst into tears. "O fie!" said the Quaker, as he proceeded to release him. ''l am sorry that thee has got thy hand fast. Thee put it in the wrong place or it would not have been so." The man looked crest-fallen, and begging for giveness hastily turned to make his retreat.— "Stay," said his persecutor, for he was now be coming such to the offender, who could have re ceived a blow with a much better grace than the kind words which were lulling from the Quaker's lips. "Stay, friend, thy bag is not filled. Thee needs coin, or thee would not have taken so much pains to get it. Come let us fill it," and the poor fellow was obliged to stand and hold the bag while the old man filled it, in terspersing the exercises with the pleasantest conversation imaginable, all of which were like daggers in the heart of his chagrined and morti fied victim. The bag was filled and the string tied, and the sufferer hoped soon to be out of the presence of his tormentor, but again his purpose was thwarted. "Stay," said the Quaker, as the man was a bout to hurry off, having uttered once more his apologies and thanks. "Stay, Ruth has breakfast ere this; thee must not think of going Without breakfast ; come. Ruth is call ing." This was almost unendurable-. This was "heaping coals" with a vengeance. In vuin the mortified neighbor begged to be? excused. In vain he pleaded to be released from what wOtild he to him a punishment ten times more severe than stripes and imprisonment. The Quaker was inexorable, and he was obliged to yield.— Breakfast over, "Now," said the old farmer, as he helped the victim shoulder the bag, "If the needs anv more corn, come in the day-time and thee shali have it." With what shame and remorse did that guil ty man turn from the dwelling of the pious ; Quaker! Everybody is ready to say that he ' never again troubled the Quaker's corn crib. I : have something still better than that to tell you. iHe at once repented and reformed, and my in i informant tells me that he afterwards heard him i relate, in an experience-meeting, the substance | of the story I have related, and he attributed his ; conversion under Cod's blessing, to the course the Quaker had pursued, to arrest him in his ■ downward course. One hundred and twenty-five thousand ' ! tons of iron were in use, in cannon, carriages,; ! and balls, in the last battle that decided the fate of Sebastopoi, a quantity sufficient, if made in* | to rails, for a railroad from New York to the Pa j cific. ! "I am all aid I shall come to want," said ;an old lady to a young gentleman. "I have ' come to want already," was the reply ; "I ! want your daughter!" The old lady opened ! her eyes. Qjp* A Clergyman was arrested in Albany on Saturday last, in mistake, and as a suppo ; sed burglar. This might be called a "clerical : error." KF" "The eyes of your beloved, after she has been crying," Punch calls "ornamental fret work." Oly" The ancient Creeks buried their dead in jars. Hence the origin of the expression—'He's gone to pot.' ftjp" A Harrisburg paper gives the following case of absence of mind: A girl who was one of our first loves, was one night lighting us out, af ter having passed a delightful evening, and in bashful trepidation she blew us out, and drew t the candle behind the door and kissed it.
