Past Memories.
BS J. G. WIIITTIESL
'How thralls, once more, the lengthening awn,
Of memory at the thought of thee l
Old hopes which long iri dust have bin, .
Old dreams come thronging back again, •
• ' And boyhood lives in me ;
•
I feel its glow upon my cheek,
Its fullness of the heart is mine,
As when I learned to hear thee speak,
Clt *sell my doubtful eyes to thine,
I Lear again thy low replies,
I feel thine arm within my own,
And timidly again uprise
The hinzM lids of hazel eyes
With soft, brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer eves,
Of moonlit wave and willowy way,
Of stars and flowers, and dewy. leaves,
Of smiles and tears more sweet than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye bath smiled,
My picture of thy youth to see,
•When Ulf a woman, half a child,
Thy very artlessness beguiled,
And folly's self seemed wise in me ; ,
I too can smile, when o'er that hour,
The lights of memory backward stream,
Yet feel the while that manhood's power
Is vainer than my boyhood's slream.
Years have passed on and left their trace
Of graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me the calm, cold face
Of manlnnd,'and to thee the grace
Of woman's pensive beauty brought.
On life's rough blast ; for blaine and praise,
The schoolboy's name has widely down ;
Thine, in the green and quiet ways
Of amotskrusive goodness known.
And wider yet, in thoisglit and deed,
Our still diverging paths incline;
Thine, the Genevan's sternest creed;
While answers to my spirit's need ,
The Yorkshire peasanessimple line;
For thee, the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm;
For me, the silent reverence, where
My brethren gather, slow and calm.
Yet bath thy sfuit left on me
An impress Time has not worn out,
And something of myself in tkee,'
And shadow from the past, I see
Lingering e'en thy way-about ;
Not lightly can the heart unlearn
That lesson of its better hours, •
Nor yet has Time's dull footstep worn
To common dust that path of flowers.
M'' The following amusing parody on the burial
of Sir John Moore, was got up by some correapon
dent of the Philadelphia Daily News, as a sort of
burlesque on the late vrailing,s of the Pennsylvani
an over the removal of one Simon Drum from a
Post Office in a western county of this State.
Sir Simon Drum. —A Parody.
" Not a Drum trait heard," cfc.
We buried him deeply, far out of sight.
[lris forty year's service remembering,]
Be the struggling Uniores misty light,
And the gas-lamps dimly burning. •
No wale's parchment enclosed his breast,
Nor in sheet, nor in'shroud, wOwound
But he lay like a " martyr," taking his rest,
With his friends all sobbing around him.
Few and short were the prayers we said, t
[You had better believe nothing shorter ;J
But we earnestly thought of the fate of poctr , Stubbs,
And we joyfully spoke of the " morreT.r
We thought as we laid him np . on the shelf,
And took away his commission,
How shockingly had old Ritelie would feel,
That we had l nt first asked his permission.
Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone,
And o'er his cold ashes upbraid him ;
But nothing hell wreck, if they Jet him sleep on
In the grave where Fitz Henry laid hina.
Quickly and gladly we laid him down,
From the place he had managed so queerly;
We carved not a line, we raised not a stole,
But we " left him alone most severely."
More -Truth than Poetry.

fur his services. The couple passed through the
streets in silence—Tudor hardly knowing what he
was doing, or what he had- done, certainly ignorant
of where he was going or what awaited him ; and
the thought= that occupied his wife's mind, the
reader will soon be able to judge' for himself.—
Turning the corner of the street, Tudor beheld a
few iods distant from him, a splendid dwelling, to
ward+ which the wife seemed to direct her steps
as well as his own, and into the front door of which
they soon entered. The room into which Tudor
was ushered by his wife, was furnished in a style
of the greatest magnificence.- She sat him in a
chair, telling him to make himself contented for a
minute or two, and then passed into another room.
The - first one here to address her, was her nncle
who,' on seeing her enter the room. jumped in es
ti:ash:went from his chair, and palling her by name,
demanded how she had escaped from her room, and
where she had been. Her only answer was,
" Yon fiend in human shape, I allow you just one
hour to remote your effects from this house. The
actual possession of my property you long deprived
me of and vainly thought You had made arrange

to a splendid carriage, - drawn by two cream colo
