Alemcry of t.'ic Past.
When backward through departed j'ears
Uu memory's wing we stray,
How oft we find a source of tears,
Along that wasted way !
The heart will vainly seek the light
That rested there before,
And sadly turn to mourn the blight
Of ail it loved of yore.
We watch for footsteps that once came
To breathe the twilight vow—
We listen lor the silvery tone
Of voices silent now—
We gaze on old familiar things.
And marvel that they bear
No gladness to our spirit's wings,
Like that which once was there.
John Banyan's Gold Mine.
In those (lavs of rushing after gold as a
seasonable warning, we copy for a perusal
tlie following passage from Bunyan's I'il
grim's Progress :
At the fnrlhest side of the plain called
Ease, was a little hill called Lucre, and in
that hill a silver mine which some of them
that had formerly gone that way, because
of its raritv, had turned aside to see ; hut
going too near the brim of the pit, the
gr< und being deceitful under them, broke,
and thev were slain. Mome also had been
maimed there and could not to their dying
tlav he their own men again.
Then 1 saw in my dream, that a little
off the road, over against tlie silver mine
stood Demas, to er.ll passengers to come
and see; wlio said to Christian and his
fellows—
' 11>> ! turn aside hitherto, and I will
show \ ou a thing.'
' What tiling so deserving as to turn us
from the way V asked Christian.
4 Here is a silver mine and some dig
ging in it for treasure. If you will come,
u ith a little pains you may richly provide
for vourselves.'
4 Then,' said Hopeful, 'Let us go and
sec.'
4 Not I,' said Christian, * 1 have before
heard of this place, and how many here
have been slain—and besides, that treasure
is a snare to those that seek it. lor it hin
dreth them in their pilgrimage.'
Then Christian called to Demas saying
—• Is not the place dangerous ?'
4 Not very dangerous except to those that
arc careless." But withal he blushed as
lie spoke.
4 Then,' said Christian to Hopeful, let
us not stir a step, but still keep on our
\s ay.'
4 1 will warrant you, when By ends
comes up, if he has the same invitation as
we, he will turn in hither to see.'
' No doubt thereof,' said Christain, 4 for
his principles lead him that way and a
hundred to one he dies.'
The Bloom of Age.
A good woman never grows old. Years
mav pass over her head, but if benevolence
and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring of life lirst
opened to her view. When we look upon
a good woman we never think of her age ;
she looks as charming as when the rose of
vouth lirt bloomed on her cheek. That
rose has not faded yet—it will never fade.
In her family she is the life and delight.
In her neighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor, in the church the devout
worshipper and the exemplary Christian—
who does not respect and love the woman
who has passed her days in acts of kind- ;
ness and inercv —who has been the friend
of man and Clod—whose whole life has
been a scene of kindness and love, a de
votion to truth and religion f We repeat
—such a woman cannot grow old. She

TEMPTATION. —How beautiful, in the ■
Lord's Prayer, is the invocation of 4 Lead
us not into temptation.' How much it
expresses, and what a volume of thought
it opens. • Lead us not into temptation.' t
The will may be strong but the heart is
weak, and in an evil hour the tempted falls
before the tempter. Temptation is a little
rill which forms at first drop by drop—
but follow its course, and it swells until it
becomes a mountain torrent, which sweeps
all before it. 4 Lead us not into tempta- !
tion'—tlee from it as from a pestilence.
A void it—for honor, happiness, all, all
will be drawn into its vortex, and become
a wreck upon the shores of time. 4 Lead j
us not into temptation.'
Were we to judge of minkind by the

tscelUutous,
The Model Hog-Reeve.
BY THE YOUNG Yx.
Years ago—and for aught we know, it
still exists—there was a statue in vogue in
New Hampshire, regulating the annual
election of hog-reeves throughout the towns
in that State. The oilice was a lucrative
one in some places, though it was general
ly made opprobrious, and the most obnox
ious individuals in the community were
usually selected to fill this post. Some
good jokes occurred in various ways, in
connexion with the office however.
Farmer Thorovv resided in a small town
above Nashua, and pridec himself upon
the neatness of his cattle, the cleanliness
of his fields, symmetry of his fences, and
the thriftiness of his orchards, but farmer
T. was a nervous man, penurious and
close fisted.
Waking early one morning, he discov
ered on a sudden, from his chamber win
dow, that four large hogs had broken into
a nice voting orchard of his, just below the
house, and in his usual excitable manner
he hurried on his clothes, and made the
best of his way down to ' Squire Look
sharp,* (the hog-reeve was called' Squire,')
whom he very quickly aroused with his
vociferous complaint.
4 Now Squire,' he said 'hurry up.—
There's lour o' my neighbors hogs got in
to iqy iitite apple orchard, and if you'll
hum , it'll be a good job for you ; they are
fat ones an' 110 mistake.'
4 lie right straight along,' said the Squire,
who remembered the details of the law re
lating to this sort of seizure—one half to
the hog reeve, and the other half to the
poor of the town —and within half an
hour he had peaceable possession of four
such animals as the neighborhood couldn't
other-wise boast of.
The seized hogs were quickly slaugh
tered bv the town official, and were hung
up to drv in the Squire's store house.
Farmer T. Tightened his broken fence, anil
then repaired to his yard to see that all
was snug at the pig pen ; he had no idea
that his hogs should trouble his neighbors
—nut he. w hen lo ! he found that a board
had been forced from the side of the en
closure. and the sty was empty.
In the meantime. Squire Looksharp had
the hogs dressed, and he sent for his good
wife, who appeared at the store-house
door.
4 Betty,' said the Squire, 4 statoot per
vides that in ease of seizure, one half the
pigs shall go the official, and the other to
the poor. Now, Betty, who's puorer
than you are ?'
4 Sure enough !' said the squire's wife,
obediently, 4 sure enough ! if any body's
poorer than I am, I'd like to hear about it.'
• Well —so I eal'late, Betty. And there
fore one half of these pigs goes to the
poor, (that's i/tur) and the other half goes
to the officer, and that's me !' and the
four hogs very soon found their way into
squire Looksharp's pork barrel.
An hour afterwards farmer Thorow ar
rived at the squire's, sprang over the stile,
into the house, through the back kitchen,
out again into the yard, where he encoun
tered the squire very leisurely at work.
4 1 say squire ?'
4 Heliow !'
• What'n thunder you doin* ?'
4 Baout what ?'
4 Where's the pigs V
4 Distribooted 'cordin* to law.'
• What ?'
• Half to the hog-reeve, half to the
poor. 1
• They're mine !' shouted the.farmer T.,
half crazy at his loss. 4 They're mine,
squire—broke out o* my pen—'
• You made the complaint —'
4 1 know but—'
4 And it's to late—the property's duly
divided—can't go behind the statoot.'
The farmer squirmed, and threatened to
be revenged oy,somebody, the first oppor
tunity ; but seeing his mistake, at length
returned home and from that day forward
has had no occasion for a similar lesson,
lie never afterwards complained of his
neighbor's hogs.
