Oh. le: the soul its slumber break
Arouse its senso and awake,
To see how seon
J . i J o with its glories glides away,
And the stern footstep of decay
Comes stealing on :
Hoc pleasure, like die passing wind,
Blows by, and loaves us nought buhiud,
Iiut grief at lust;
How still our present happ'nesB
Seems, to the wayward fancy, less
Thau what is past.
Our lives like hating streams must bo,
That into one engultiing sea
Are doomed tofail
The sea of I'eaili, whore naves toll on,
O'er kin j and kingdom, crowu tiuJ throue.
And fwallow all.

Alike the huinhlo strcuulets glide
To that sad wave ;

The stilts are slend'i !y made, are about
two feet in height- tho bottoms having
throo iron prong resembling a trident in
fth.ipe, the wooden portion being covered
Willi silver leaf. An ''ncident occurred
Winn 111 ot": l.ti was a short ditince rrin
theAniericin shore which produced a
tin iil or horror in the breasts of all who"
witnessed it. It was not generally under
stood that in the ptssage over he was to
make three leaps on hi stilts. The first
time ho attemped it, the centre anil lon
ger piong in the bottom of the stilts
caught against one of the- guys, tripping
him slightly. All held their breath in
horror for an instant, thinking he had,
fallen. Rut the daing sjelf-possessed per
lormer lighted safely astride of the cable,
and looked toward either shore as if noth
ing had happened. In coming suddenly
and violently upon the rope, his balan
cing pole as before slaled.a very heavy
one was cracked and strained, so thet
' he dared not attempt a repetition of tho
.leap, lest it should lo broken. The task
.of regaining his standing position on the
rope with the stilts on was seemingly a
,most dhTieult on?, and many expressed
doubt as to tho success of the attempt.
Butwiih him, as with tho cunning' old
Cardinal, there seem to h? no such word
-xas fail; and, after two or three triads, the
difticu'.y wasovercomo. As he proceeded,
tep by step, the spectators gained con
fidence, and those who hud expressed
;doubt and apprehension, bre.r.thed freer
, as he approached the termination of his

Genteel Poverty. i
It has been philosophically remarked
that one half the world do not know how '
tho other half live. This truth arises less '
from want of curiosity on one silo than
itudiod deception on tho other. Poverty
for insum-c. i reit.her legally or morally
a crime and yet, aside- from its conveni
ence, there is a disci edit, in every sense
ol the word, attuched to it, which renders
its possessor very jealous of its discovery.
In worldly judgements we too often find
that the sin is in the detection, not tho
the commission of the offence. A man
may live in a garret, and dine on stala
bread and mouldy cheese, and yet, with
the exactness of independence, his compa
ny will often be solicited at tho social
meal or festive board. But let his domicil
and his Means be delected let his coat
lose its freshness, his hat its mioolhnesR,
and his boots their polish, and the felon's
brand would not more certainly excom-
municate him than the noor man's garb
Men often prefer the suspicion, of crime
to the suspicion of penury.
Poverty and beggary are very distant
relations. The beggar never knows pover-
ty, lie only feels want. To lnm tho mere
daily necessities' ot Ido are sutlicient. lie
begs without disguise, owns to the world
his destitution, eats tho rich man's
erurubs, and snores upon th flint. How
different is the condition of the other.
