Our father’s growing old, John ! iiis eyes are growing dim, And years aro orf liis shoulders luid, A heavy weightier him ; And you and X ure young aud hale, And each a stalwart man. And wo must make his loud as light And easy as wo cun. lie used to take the brunt, John! At cradle and the plow, And earned our porridge by the swoat That trickled down his brow ; Vet never hoard we him complain, Whate’er his toil might be, Nor wanted e’er u welcome seat, Upon his sulid knee. And when our boy strength came, John ! And sturdy grew each liinb. Jle brought us to the yellow Held, To share tbo toil with biin ; But he went foremost in the swath, ~ Tossing aside the grain, Just like the plow that heaves the soil, Or ships that sheer the main. / Now wo must lead the van, John ! Through weather foul and fair, And let the old man read and doze, And tilt his easy chair; And he'll not tniml it, Juhn, you know, At eve to tell us o’er Those brave obi days of British times, Our graudsires aud the war. 1 heard you speak of Ma’am, John ! ’Tis go-pel what you say, That, caring lor the liko of us, lias turned her head so grey ! Yet, Johu, I do remember well When neighbors called her vain. And when her hair was long and like A gleaming sheaf of grain. Ilcr lips weru cherry red. .John ! Her cheeks were round mid fair. And like a ripened peach they swelled Against her wavy hair; Her stop fell lightly as the leaf From otf the summer tree, And all day busy at the wheel, She sang to you and mu. She had a buxom arm, Juhn, That wielded well the rod, Whene'er with wilful step our feet Tbo path forbidden trod; But to the heaven of her eye Wo never looked in vain, And ever more our yielding cry Brought down her tears like rain. But. that is lung ago, John ! And we are what we are, And litile heed wo day by day Her fading cheek and hair. And wheu beneath her faithful brea3t The tides no longer stir, ’Tis then, John, we the most shall fool We had no friend like her! Sure there can he im harm, John ! Thus speaking sufily o'er The blessed names uf those ere long Shall welcome us no more. Nay ! hide it not, f.-r why should'st thou An honest tear disown { Thy heart one day will lighter ho Kcmembering it has llown. Vos, father's growing old. John ! llisV'yes are getting dim.

THE ATTORNEY'S SECRET. Two gentlemen sa.t sipping their wine after dinner aud talkiug iu the leisurely disconnected way which, together with their attitudes, showed that *both wore taking mental as well as bodily rests Tjfter the labors of the day. They were repre sentatives of two of the learned each man a mark of his calling ; the one tall, strongly built, with a massive head, and a thoughtful and benevolent aspect; the other much smaller, wiry, a agile, with keen, marked features—a man evidently profound as well as astute, and, though not handsome, one calculated to arrest attention wherever encountered. The fiist was a distinguished physician, the other an equally distinguished lawyer.— The physician’s investigation and testi mony, as an expert, had been procured in a case, just closed, iu which his legal friend was the prosecuting attorney. The labors of both had been arduous, and neither was averse to the rest and quietude which the close of the trial made po-sible to them. They were, and loug had been, warm, personal friends, and were m w dining together at the lawyer’s rooms, and indulging in the easy converse, broken by long silences, which their familiar friendli ness warranted. After discussiug the ca~c which had just beeu decided against the prosecution, to the satisfaction of the attorney, who be lieved the prisoner innocent of the crime with which he was charged, he said, ad dressing his friend : ‘ If you are disposed to listen, I will tell you a »story, an incident of my pro fession, as it really-occurred, aud which is quite iu point.’ * ‘Bravo!’ cried the doctor, rousing up from a half doze at this proposition. — ‘Push that decanter a little nearer—there, that will do—this is capital sherry. Can you get me some of the same ? Ah ! now give uie a cigar, and I’m ready.’ ‘ You have not forgotten, 1 suppose,’ began the lawyer, ‘ the case of Newton, who, in the year 185—, was tried for mur der on circumstantial evidence of the very strongest character, aud acquitted I No? You- doctors never take much interest in such matters, I know, unless you have a hand in them, and fat fees for medical ex aminations and testimony. Well, the ease was this : ‘ A man named Murphy, a boarder in a house in G street, was found dead in his room one morning*! There were sever al wounds upon his person, some of which he might have inflicted upon himself. But there were two, at least, which it was im possible could have beeu made by a weapon held in his own hand, as their situation and direction made evident. ‘ At first it had been supposed that he had committed suicide, as lie was a man of intemperate habits, addicted to gaming and low company, and had of lale been much depressed in consequence of losing his business situation and by a long run of ill-luck. ‘He tvas a morose, sullen fellow, and had no friends among his fellow-boarders, who were all of a class superior in morals, if not in position, to himself. Still, he had never quarrelled with .any one in the house up to the time of his death, nor did it at first appear, as far as its inmates “were eonceraed, that he had given auy provocation for the crime. ‘ 'Nevertheless, in the course of the investigation by the coroner, it was elicited that Murphy had, on one or two occasions, when considerably, intoxicated, addressed provoking and insulting remarks to a fellow boarder, named Newton, who occu pied the room adjoining his. And Newton had boon heard to complain that Murphy I prosecutor, to add some new tostonony annoyed him beyond endurance by -he j wh.chwou Id faxthe gn.lt more strongly noise he made on coming in late of nights, i U P OD ‘ ew on > a3 f eD , ° . that he had threatened to leave the house j W my utter bewUdvment, when if Murphy was allowed to continue, and j proceeded to assure me .that no on y .t . i • . -.1. i_ n j i was he aware ot the complete innocence hat fandmg Ins complaints to the land- j bllt that he ha .l himself been lord, who was a relative of the deceased, ; ’ . . . . . produced no effect, he had been heard to ; P res f c during the altercation between declare that he would himself find a way | New on and Murphy, wh eh preceded the c -i- n t n„ ; death of the latter by not more than an ihbor S ‘ dlSagreeble | hour.

An Irishman of our acquaintance named Michael O’Rodger, who settled in this part of the country some years ago, lately re ceived an unexpected visit from his brother Pat, who was direct from the sod. Mike heartily welcomed his brother and resolved to do every thing in his power to make his visit an agreeable one. Accordingly at the end of tbe second day after Pat’s arrival, which had been spent by them in general carousal, Mike armed his brother with a shilelah, and immediately led off in the direction of the corn iifeld, about a half mile distant, where he assured Pat that they would eDjoy a rare evening’s coon hunting. The night was too dark to distinguish the objects of their search at any great dis tance, but on entering the field and setting up a yell they soon discovered by the rustling of the corn stalks in various di rections that they had been successful in routing several of them from their hiding places. Mike’s keen eyes were now fixed upon a large tree, which stood a few yards dis tant, and he soon had the satisfaction of detecting an object moving up its trunk at a rapid rate. This he knew to be a coon, and with a shout of joy he rushed towards: the tree calling his brother to follow up. In a moment the two sportsmen were un der the tree. Mike 'prepared to climb, and directed Pat how to act when the coon reached the ground. ‘ He’ll be afther makin a great noise to get away,’ said Mike, ‘ but for your life don’t let him escap ye.’ < Och, be off up the tree wid ye,’ an swered Pat, flourishing his shilelah, evi dently growing impatient for the spurt, ‘ niver fear but I’ll put an iud to him when he comes down.’ Mike now commenced climbing the tree with all possible haste and succeeded very well in the ascent until he reached the first branches and became hid from the wild gaze of the brother, when he paused a moment to ascertain in what part of the tree the coon had taken lodging. While mat ters were in this state, the coon made a sudden move among the branches which so startled Mike that he unfortunately let go his hold and fell headlong to the ground. Pat supposing him to be the coon, rushed furiously upon him with his shite lah, and commenced that delightful opera tion of putting an end to him. ‘ Murther! murther!’ cried Mike, at tempting to raise his feet, ‘ in the name of Si. Patrick don’t be afther bating me to death ! ‘ Ye be givin me any uv your dirty excuses; shure my brither tould me ye’d be aither makin a great noise to gif away, but not a tut ye’ll move out o’ this alive.’ Mike, now supposing his brother to be crazy, thought it time to make a desperate struggle for life, so seizing Pat by the legs he suocecded in throwing him to the ground, whereupon a rough and tumble tight commenced which lasted for some time without either of the brothers utter ing a word. After a violent contest, however, Mike came off victorious, Pat being so com pletely subdued as to render him helpless. But fearing it was not all ovqx with him, he began to call wildly for Mike to hasten down the tree and assist him, or the ‘ ugly baste ’ would have his life. By this time Mike fully comprehended tbe error into which his brother had fallen, and commenced every means in his power to bring him to his senses, which after a great deal of persuasion he succeeded in doing. But the coon was allowed to escape un harmed, as neither of the adventurers felt in a humor for continuing the hunt that night. Indeed it was Pat’s first hunting scrape, and he swore by all the saints it would be the last. A few years ago, Rev. Mr. B , a faithful, fearless preacher, in one of the ‘ hill towns ’ of Hampshire county, preached a pointed sermon against the use of ardent spirits, especially designed for a member of his congregation who was in the habit of hiring his help at a low price in consideration of the frequent ‘ treats ’ that he furnished his workmen. ‘ Old Nat ’ found himself particularly ‘hit’ by the discourse, as the coat fitted him exact ly, and therefore absented himself from the church for some two years. A few weeks ago he was seized with his last ill ness and expressed a desire to see Rev. Mr. B before he died. His son went post haste for the minister, who, of course, was quite ready to respond to the dying man’s summons. On entering the room he was greeted with the cool salutation, ‘ Mr. B , I am about to die, and 1 have seat for you that you might have a chance to apologize to me for that liquor sermon preached to me a few years ago.’ A preacher, not long since, asking to stay all night at a country house, was forbidden by the lady. Knowing her to be a member of the church, and generally pleased to entertain ministers, he began to quote Paul to her, hoping she would understand by this bint that he was a preacher. He had hardly got out, ‘ For thereby some have- entertained angels unawares,’ when she said, ‘ But aDgels, sir, would not come with, tobacco in their mouths.’ The preacher left without more ceremony.
