"With ■ll my heart wit/ I," And hand in hand they wended ; The moon was low in western sky When this long walk was ended. They talked, of Beauty, Nature, Truth, Each eye the other's locating, And ne'er since life began, to youth, Had hours seemed half so fleeting. Said Youth, "Sine we're so happy now, Why not remain united I" Love pressed a kiss upon Youth's brow, And thus their troth was plighted. s o bi n di n g wag the vow they breathed It no'cr iA life was broken, And Youth, in death, a kits bequeathed, . As Lorige own propei token., Since then 'us mid that Love's Ent kiss Is of Love's joy the dearest, And, of all sublunary bliss, It is to Heaven the nearest. And though from death Love cannot save, Nor render Youth immortal, will, loyal; follow to the grave, And, with him pass its portal.

"You speak kindly my eon," replied the pleased hither, "your love to me does more good than my food ; and thbse dear eyes of yotire remind me of your dear mother who has left us, who iord you to I love me as you used to do ; and indeed, my boy, you have been great strength and com fort to me ; but now I have eaten the first morsel to please you, it isyour turn now to eat."

It is rather too bad that our boys should be' behind the heathenish Chinese in this respect; but they are ne vertheless. A missionary in that country.; says : "The sky is a universal flutter ofl kites. I counted this afternoon (min my' window, ninety-three, which were flown at various heights with great skill. Spool represented hawks, and adsdrahly iihnisted their mancevres in die air, poising them selves, and sailing and darting ; gaudy but terflies floated around, and dragons form ing a long succession of circular kites, with fierce head, flew about the sky. The majority were of merely fanciful snape.— Loud noises like a wind instrument could be heard from them. Tlte•mnet amusing Iform was that of a huge tish, as it swain through the blue above, moving its tail 'and fins with a ludicrously natural effect. Those like animals are flown in pairs and made to fight." Now, boys, try your Yankee ingenuity, and let the Celestials know that you are up to the age with some thing in the wind worth looking at.—New fork Tribune. A Fox STORY.—Any body who has heard Rory O'More'4' famous story of the fox, in Lover's amusing play of that name. will confess that it is not quite , equal to the following, which is taken from the St. Johnsbury Caledonian, a Vermont paper : "Last week, in the town of , Newbury, a fox hunter, with two hounds, got upon the track of a poor fox. which was pursued until towards the close of day. Fox found matters were drawing iv a desperate crisis with him—and just at this time the whis tle of the railroad train watt heard. when he struck of in the direction, and approach ed the track just as the train came up, and leaped it immediately ,preceedi9g,the en gine, and the two hounds cloie'in purinit. Each hound was caught by the wheels of the engine—the foremost lost' about a foot of his tail, and the one in the'reat was out off just behind his hips—and aff went.fox 'alone in his glory."

He linen a Young shipwright in Kensington by the name of Charles W. Carroll, with witton he was on terms, not only of intimacy: but' thel most confidential friendship. , Conspiring , l with the re caviling sergeant of the rendeat- 1 vous, an old Dutchman, named , filmidti , who' is now a fugitive from jades, he laid in wait' for young .Carroll, met him in; the street in his working dress, on hie . way, from dinner, and,, with ,a black lie, upop. his tongue. made him believe that he !eel suspected of being the, Carroll who had.' deserted ; and profeiiiing to act, the part, of a friend, while serpent-like, he was slowly,• yet surely, entangling his ensue. ; petting victim in hill slimy folds; he pre- vailed ,on him to go vvith him to the renw dex.yous and clear up& suspicion against him, and thus prevent himself from being subjected from the mortification, of a pub. lie arrest. Once at the rendezvouv, Carroll was en. trapped into a room, in which he was con fined all night; and when overpowered by , sleep, handcuffed. Re awoke • in' the morning to find' himself an ironed prison! er. ' forthwith conveyed in MOW.

McClain and Smith. was pronounced a def eerier, and sentenced to receive one hun dred and fifty lashes. • Before the pettish,- ruent was inflicted, however, the widowed mother of Carroll, tut elderly lady, whose , sole support he was,, traced him to New , York, and seeing out a writ of habeasor pus before a civil tribunal of that city, ex tablished Ms innocence, and obtained his the days of high release. McClain subsequently applied for and' received the reward. ti:l'he blackest Lure of his guilt in the whole history of the villainous conspiracy, is the fact thst at the time poor Carroll was' in a felon's:cell, through his' connivance. and a convict up. on his false outh, he went: to his a pother, -and, inducing her to believe, that her son. on discovering himself suspected, had ta ken the alarm and absconded, pretended the warmest sympathy for her, and prof fered her his friendliest office: All in all, a more monstrous case of vil lainy, has seldom been brought to light.
