TEI2 PALI.: AVID TEE PINE.
-
When Peter led lhe First Crusade,
A Norseman wooed an Arab maid.
He loved her lithe and palmy grace,
And Ihe dark beauty ot ber facet
fhe loved his cheeks, so ruddy fair,
His sunny eyes and ysllow hair.
He called : she left her father's tent ;
the followed whereso'er he went,
She left the palms of Palestine '
To sit beneath the Aurland pine. j
She sans the musky Orient stiains I
Where Winter swept the snowy plains. i
Their nam res met like nishi and mora I
What tune the morning alar is born. j
The child that from their mee'lngs crew
Hung, like that star, between the two.
The glossy night his mother shed.
From her long hair, was on his head ;
Tut In its shade ihey saw arise
The morning of his lather's eyes.
Beneath the Orient's tawny slain
W andered the orseman's crimson vein ;
Beneath the Northern force was seen
The Arab sense, alert and keen.
His were Ihe Vikins's sinewy han-ls.
'I he arching foot of Kasiero lands.
And in his soul conflicting strove
.orthrrn indifference, -Southern love;
The chastity of temperate blood.
Impetuous passion's fiery flood ;
The set-led faith that nothing shakes.
The jealousy a breath awakes;
The planning Reason's sober gaze,
And Fancy's meteoric blajte.
And stronger, as he grew lo maf.
The contradicting natures ran
As rr.in-rlei! streams from Tllua flow,
One born of lire, and one of snow ;
And one impelled, and one withheld,
A nd one obeyed, and one rebelled l
One gave him force, ihe other fi.-e.
This, self-control; and that, desire.

Friday a Very Lucky Day.
It is remarkably stiant-.- tLat the belief
that " Friday is an unlucky day," is so
popular at this culightcncd ae of the
world. Some persons who profess to know
all ab-iut the ehronclogy cf the eirly ages,
Say that our parents ate the forbidden fruit
on Friday, aud died on Fiiday; hence tho
inauspicious characteristics of tbe day.
Most people, however, accept this doctrine
without caring to stnp and inq'i-fe into its
origin and authority. It is true that
! many things of a ui-ssstroua character
have transpired oa this day, bat they are
I not more nunierms on this day than arty
j other day of the week. It may be seen,
j however, by the foihwin;;, that a sensible
! person nny opxet this stupid prejudice,
' and show that our own g'cat republic ha
no reason to consider Friday unlucky :
"On Friday, Aug. 21, 1192, Christo
pher Columbus sailed on his great voyage
of discovery; oa Friday, Oct. 12, 1492,he
first discovered laud ; on Friday, Jan. 4,
I 1 113, he sailed on his return to Spain.
which, if he bad not reached in safety,
the happy result would never have been
