Oh had we some bright little isle of oi owl, far off and alone, Where a leaf never dies in the still bloom- In 2 blue summer ocean, ing bowers, Aud the bee banquets thro’ ‘a whole year of flowers. Where thie sun loves to pause, ‘With so fond a delay, That the night only draws, A thin veil o'er the day, Where simply to feel that we breath that we live, Is worth the best joy that life elsewhere can give, There with souls ever ardent and pure as the clime, We should love as they loved in the first golden time, The glow of the sunshine, the balm of the air, ' Would steal to our hearts, and make ail summer there. With affection as free, From decline as the bowers, Ana with hope like the bee, Living always on flowers. Our life should resemble a long day of light, And our death ‘come Slowly, and as the night. x rt Apnea ED D ERB CROSS READING.

It was considered that an advance would be an ac- tual loss to the printers; as the competi- tion in the printing business had, before that period, arrived at such a point, tha, the public were supplicd with printing at nearly the mimimum ; and also that it was probable the prices of types would continue some time alter the return of peace and recompence for any. advan- tage that was given up, This has taken place.
