I.,. a V i 1 Bnnlrnn ltPoQaf 1 ' With iienu rHiiv urv vu uo ouujvu vijiov, Di hair wan tossed, In careless mirth, JJy the sharp glints hurled from the chill northwest, BhaWng the frame of the crazy . ? , And drifting svovr on the crumbling floor. The steps, that led to an attio room, Had, one oy one, ia io mi&io Tlio framework stood, in the deep'ning gloom, Like a spectre grim o'er a rnin dire. The snow-flakes, blown through each wld'niDg chink, Made Rtrange, quaint ghosts on the stairway brink. The shutters creaked on their hinges old, As If they felt the assault unkind, And shfrered, in the nnpitying cold, At each whirling blast of the piorcing wind. The agd roof, of a bygone day, Shook with the palsy of decay. The candle gave but a flickering light FU emblem of the expiring flame That struggled with the approaching night 0 the lite that olung to the worn-out frame Of him who once was as hale and strong As any in the unthinking throng. Tie old man shrunk when a rudrr gust . Tierced through his heart, like a cutting JJifl form but the framework- stiff with rust, fcilowly swayed, like iimos m aa autumn lie hugged Mi old, tattered garments fast, And mused, aloud, on the long gone past: "Just eighty years, in the past, to-day, Midst plenty wealth all that heart could crave A new-born babe, with its mother, lay, lS'estled warm and close, on the breast that gave It life and love, and secured from harm The tender limbs of its feeble form. "The wind howled then, so my mother said, The snow-drift piled to the window-sill, 13ut clean and warm was the room and bed Ah l.the dear old home, how I lore it still 1 Yes I eighty years hare flown since then; I've outlived my threescore years and.ten. "Threescore and ten f I was then a boy, My young limbs strong, and my free heart ; light; I I roamed the field3,and the woods with Joy, And I swam the stream with a youth's de light, Or searched the hay-mow for the eggs I5ut why all this to one who begs ? ''Threescore ? the fire of a young soul burned "With Bteady flame, till I felt the glow . A proud ambition 'twas to be learned That impelled me why, I can never know : And a college student I became Ah, me I how weak is my wasting frame I "Ah me 1 how well I remember, when, So full of pride, and with buoyant hope, I longed to wield the untiring pen i That would startle worlds with its strength and scope: Yet here I sit, an unknown old man, My life is measured by a span. "land then I married but wham in aha Who soothed m v RnrrnwR. find r.ViAAri1 mxr way Who taught my babes, that were dear to me, The spirit as well as the words to pray, And sported with them on the lawn? Alas I alas 1 all, all are gone. "And where are all my well-tilled fields, My barns, o'erloaded with yellow grain, The rich reward that Ceres yields f And where the mill whose wheels oomplain, With droning hum, all the long, long day f Alas I they have passed with my friends ' away. . , "Yes! all are gone not a single ona Remains to cheer an unnerved old man. My eyes are dim, and my work is done, And I sit and shake as the rough winds fan My shrivelled form, or toss my hair, So thin and white with old age aud care. "Yes ! all are gone and these, mouldering walls Alone remain to protect my form. Through gaping roof the soft snow falls, And the door scarce checks the assaulting storm. The candle gives but a feeble light Yes 1 1 am ulond ou this blustering night. "Yes 1 1 am alone, and my fingers press My aching head, as it throbs and burns With agony at my desolateness. All alone, alone ! as the wide world turns, But brings no joy to my weary breast Cold Death can only secure me rest." Bis head sunk slowly, his voice was low His eyes were closed, as in peaceful sleep; IBs hands were folded, and soft and slow The snow-flakes fell In a pure white heap The candle flickered its life soon lied The cold wind moaned the old man was dead.

Knowing the author by reputa tion as a gentleman well qualified to write on the subject selected, we have received this work as standard, and confidently recommend it to our cultuilsts. It Is precise and minute in its detalls of directions, and is written in a clear, explicit style, which it is impossible not to understand. It will prove a valuable addi tion to the department of agricultural litera ture, and will be both an ornament and a reli able reference in every country homo. ' FKAf'K, ANT) OTHFR POKM3. BjT JOllB J. WMtO. J.B. Llppincott fc Co. This edition of the poems of Mr. White is very beautiful. It is printed on the richest cream-laid paper, with the clearest, type and richest binding, and makes a beautiful volume. The greater part of the work is devoted to an 1'pio on Teace, which is certainly a gigantio production. It consists of one hundred and seventy verses of nine lines each, on the old Spenserian system. It runs smoothly, is a very fair specimin of imitative poetry, is not guilty of originality, and follows closely the older masters. The other poems do not merit much attention, and the whole work reveals but one thing, a familiarity on the part of the author with the works of Spenser. ri.AiN Pehmons ov I'EHSONAL Relioion. By Kev. O. W. NatU J. B. Llppincott & Co. : The title ot this work explains its contents. It is a series of plain discussions on personal duty in religion, and is an excellent work on tho subject. Written in a plain, clear style, without any of the ambiguities and trophe.3 so common in sermons, they are acceptable because of their simplicity. They are all to the point, and selected with a special aim to enlighten the reader on purely personal duty. It is handsomely printed by Lippincott, and enriched by a faithful likeness of the author. To his large circle of parishioners and friends who mourn his loss, the work will be most welcome. Tde Invisi bi.es. J. B. Lippincott A Co. The author declares his intention of explain ing the phenomena of Spiritualism, but fails to make good his promise. To the initiated in the laith his remarks may be intelligible. To us poor deluded skeptics, the darkness is not lifted by the perusal of his work. We believe him to be sincere in what he says. We do not accuse him of voluntary deception. Yet his expressions are so vague, and his explanations bo obscure, that while his work is by no means an uninteresting one, yet so far as being an exposition of Spiritualism is concerned it is a failure. However, it is a pleasant volume for general reading. Heart Breathings; or, The Soul's Desire By 8. P. Godwin. J. B. Lippincott A Co. The little collection of meditative passages and selections from the Scriptures which go to make up the volume before us, are com piled with taste and piety. They are pecu liarly adapted to family use, and make a very acceptable little book. It is a volume to be used daily, and is of a kind to grow in value by constant perusal. It is handsomely printed and well bound. Elsie Wagner; or, Thb Old still House. By Mrs. Frances liana Gage. Avery pleasant novel, with. a temperance moral, is laid before the public by Mrs. Qage, It is a simple tale of Western life, of which the authoress' long continuance in that region of the country eminently qualifies her to treat. It is a thorough good story. It con tains life and animation, and, like all that Mr3. Gage writes, shows that her soul was in her work. It is cheaply printed, and should be a welcome addition to every Sunday sohool library in the land. The New York Times publishes a long article on the authorship of "Rock me to Sleep, Mother," which gives the credit of it to Mrs. Akers, Florence Percy. To her it pro bably of right belongs. The writer is very severe on Hon. Alexander M. W. Ball, of New Jersey, who is accused of actual pla giarism. The New Jersey Messenger for June, the second number, is before us, and is a great improvement over its predecessor. If it keeps on improving, it will take a front place among the periodicals of America. It is full of valua ble and interesting contributions. Louisa Muhlbach, having been accused of sacrificing truth in her historical novels on "Joseph II" and "Frederick the Great," thus defends herself; "It would occur to no one to accuse a suo" cebfclul historical picture or falsehood, because tbe books of history do not show that the occur rence took place precisely in the manner re presented, that the historical personages really so laughed or wept, or so . deported themselves. If the situation and Rtouplnt; of historical events Is allowed to be in accordance with the general tenor of history, then the ninLnrn muv be pronounced historically true, aud is Just as goou a piece oi History as uie record or me special historian.

There is enough of earnest and independent thought in the work to keep alive a discussion which is daily enlisting wider attention. 1 Mrs. Catharine A. Warfield, of Kentucky who published, a few years since, that singu larly weird and Strange fiction, "The House hold of Bonverie," has about ready a new novel, entitled "The Romance of Beausein court," which G. W. Carleton & Co. will issue in a few days, together with a new edi tion, the third, of "How to Make Money and How to Keep It." Carpenter's "Six Months at the White Honse with Abraham Lincoln" is having a great success, the publishers announcing the twenty-second thousand, with an increasing demand. Alice Carey's new domestio novel, "The Bishop's Son," is already in its third edition, three thousand, although published but a week ago. G. W.

Shortly alter my connection wl'U this Institution a very bad case ol Physical Debility a d general prostration attracted my special atten tion, and from tha reputation which Mlsliler's Herb 1 liters had obtained, I IniBglned Hs use would lie at. t oded I Lii good results. I caused It to be adminis tered, und found that It fully JnHlllied the opinion I had forn ed of It. The uocets 1 had met with In this ca.se encouraged me to still lurtbertest It, and I have since used It In a great many ciisesof Rheumatism, Serolula, Secondary e-ypbllis, Asthma, and various other dis cuses, anOliiVHrlably with the bent results. In many Instances, when other remedies had failed, Mlsbler's Herb Blllers restored them 10 perfect health, and enabled them to leave the Institution and earn their own living, thus releasing the county from charge for their support. I am therefore convinced that Mlnhler's Herb Bitters are really what the pro prietor calls them, "A certain Remedy" for the Dis eases for which they are recommended. J. O.
