TICE PRESS.
DI DIM ♦DDT.
Oh! the wondrous Press has a magic sway
In its great and giant force,
To the east and west it bends Its way
And it takes o'er the seas its course;
Gay dazzling stores may the good ship 511
In the pride of vain excess,
But it boasts a treasure MOW precious still,
In the wealth of the mighty Press.
Tho sun of genius, unsought, unknown,
May his heaven-born themes pursue,
Their brlghtness gladdens himself alone,
For his frrends are far and few.
But see, in the ranks of fame ho stands,
Lo! thousands his lays possess,
And his name is biazoned in distant lands,
Through the aid of the mighty Press.
The poet's numbers, the scholar's love,
Cast their radiant spell o'er all;
Those strains aro conned in the cottage poor
Thtl enchant the lordly hall:
And the Book more holy than all besides,
Which alone can truly bless.
To the heathen shines as a lamp and guide.
By the power of the mighty Puss.
Alas! that a scene so bright, so dear,
Should a dark reverse disclose;
Alas! that a boon so great, so dear,
Should be ever linked with woes;
But the lawless doctrines of men pro4ne
To tho world their guile address,
Proving to thousands a snare and bane,
Through the sway of the mighty Press.
Yet the summer•sky has Its wintry doom,
And the rose reveals a thorn,
And evil must ever mix with good
In a race to evil born;
We must boar the pangs of a thwarted will
Where we fondly hoped success,
We must sigh o'er the mass of social all,
Diffused by the mighty Press.
Yet the light of Faith let us humbly seek
To illuniino our dangerous road.
Let us deem all knowledge poor and weak
That would load our hearts from God;
Then may we welcome instruction's tide,
As it flows our land to bless,
And greet with unmingled joy and pride
The gift of our glorious Press.

AN INTEREETING FRENCH' TALE.
A Youso and handsome pair had just
returned from the altar, where their desti
nies were irrevocably united. They were
about to start for the country, and they had
bidden a temporary farewell to the friends
who were present at the ceremony. For
a short Limo, while their equipage waq
preparing, they found themselves alone.
The newly wedded husband took one of
his bride's hands into his own.
"Allow me," said he, "thus to hold your
hand, for I dread lest you should quit me.
—I tremble lust all this be an illusion.
It seems to me that l am the hero of one
of those fairy tales which amused my boy

Frederick started, and half seriously ex

'Listen to me, foolish boy!' resumed the
lady. 'There was once a young girl, the
daughter of parents well born, and at one
limo rich, but who had declined sadly in
circumstances. Until her fifteenth year,
the family lived in Lyons, depending en
tirely for subsistence upon the labor of her
father. Some better hopes sprang up, and
induced them to come to Paris; but it is
difficult to stop in the decent down the path
of misfortune. For three years the fath

in a hospital.
'The mother soon followed, and the young
girl was left alone, the occupant of a garret
of which the rent was not paid. If there
were any fairy connected with this story,
this was the moment of her appearance; but
none came. The young girl remained alone
without friends or protectors, harrassed by
debts which she could not pay, and seeking
in vain for some species of employment.
She found none. Still it was necessary (or
her to have food. One day passed, on which
she tasted nothing. The night that fol

without food, and the poor girl was forced
into the resolution, of begging. She cov

her hand. Alas that hand was white, and
youthful, and delicate! She telt the neces

young woman who passed—one more hap

keep the streets clear of all mendicants and
suspicious characters. At this period, the
'shrinking girl took courage once more to
bold out her hand to a passer-by. It was
a young man. He stopped at the silent ap
peal, and, diving into his pockets, pulled out
a piece of money, which he threw to her,
being apparently afraid to touch a thing so
miserable. Just as he did this, one of the
police came to the spot, and, placing his
hand on the girl's shoulder, exclaimed, Ah,
I have caught you, have I?—you are beg

'The young man here interposed. He
took hold hastily of the mendicant of whom
