The loves and joys of earth arc !lief;
The fairest fbwers the first decay
Pleasure's foot taps follows
Too soon we mourn the fallen lest ,
And lief's departed May.
We yearn perplexed., and stung with :pain,
Our long-lost Aidenn to regain =
Oh, is it far away
Mark ! from the caverns of the hesitt
-Faint-echoesrphantom-voicOsoitart-;
“Far; fai - awa y !''
And, sounding froth beyond - the sky,
Melodious, solemn strains reply : ,
"Far, far away
The soul 13 pained with vain regret'
We pine for what no years restore;
Ara sorrows we woaM fain forget,
With clagped hands snd.oyelitis wet,
haunt us forever more
Grows their no halm in grove or field
No plant that may deepen the
"A h is there no reprieve,?'
List ! from the grove no murmurs flow,
Ai though sad spirits bewailed their wee
And, from the field, with mournful sigh,
The withering flowers and grass ri ply :
'•No, no reprieve !"
A vildering maze is life, in social;
our lusting vouch.
And with, their - clamor hide the truth
Until our hairs arc whits.
0 World 0 Time can 3e not give
Elm:mewl:lot to male it ',met to live
Must joys, loves, all depart
The world responds with scornful laugh,
Pointing to make an epitaph,
"All, all depart?"
Arad as she sweeps retnoractess by,
The knell-like tones of Time reply,
"All, all depart I"
Come, boys, I have something to tell you,
--- Come near, I would whisper it
You are thinking o I leaning the homestead,
Don't be in a hurry to
The city hai many attsae;tions.
But think of the vices and sins
When once in the vortex of fashion,
Bow soon the comes doWnweed begins
You talk of the mines of Aus.tralia
They're wealthy—irrgold without doubt,
Bnt ah ! there is gold on the finin..boys,
If only you'll shovel it out.
The Mercantile trade is a hazard,
The goods arc first high and then low;
BMW risk the old farm a while longer.
Don't be in a hurry to go,
The great btt•=y West has inducameni,
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don t be in a burry to start !
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands orsr—
Ah ! think of the frauds and deception's,
Don't be in a l.urry to go!
The farm is the safest and_ surest,
The orchards are hamlet] tmday,
You're us free as the air of the mountain,
And monarch of all you survey.
Butter stay on the farm a while longer,
Though profits coff - ffi - ea , tticT - slotiv, -

BEECHER ON LONGEVITY•
Rev. Henry Ward Bee Cher recently :de.,

wells. Among other things he said; • •
,'ln the beginning the • human race seems
to have-been created aniMals; not without
the great elementary forces which,oenstituto

They-attained what would now be consider
ed an extraordinary old age berore they
reached the 'age orpuberty. Their 'first
children were begotten when they were one
hundrad,er one hundredandlorty_yeare_ol4
we thing that to be old age. Then came
four or five hundred years, afterward, of life,
indicating slow maturation. What coarse,
slow growing, inefficient ereatures - they
were I Ido not think that Adam was any
different from them. There is an impress
ion that the human race began at the top,
and slipped from the top down to the hot.
tom; I - do not believe it. I think that Ad
am was a child; that he never had a thought,
and with the exception of eating the forbid
den fruit, scarcely pariorwed an act that
was thought worthy of memory; and that
name which liss_fided al history nud—the
wrrld, is purely and merely a name. There
seems to have been in his life, ant in _the
whole - of •
!it, oot tag wurthy to be remem
bered. My impression is very strong that
the whole human family began at the bottom
and has worked its way up to the present
tune; and that it is destined to work its, way
up to an inconeeivaldy higher level than hug
manitv 13()W starv?s_upatt—at_is_probabli-
eight or ten handrail years,
these creatures did not live as much as we
do in eighty. klife of eighty years, which
doei in that time the work sr - tread' oat '
their ease over eight hundred years, is a
vast step in the progress of man. Consid.
eriog the present nature of man, longevity,
such as theirs, would be a great misfortenb.
While yet human itfe was inert; whole Ca
pacity was undeveloped; while the acconn
relishing power wars very small, it would seem
to be in accordance with divine wisdom to
lengthen out the scope of life, that man
might have time to be and to do something.
But as. they learned, there were many rens
one Why human life should be diminished in
its scope.
We are accustomed speak, of death as a
misfortune; we almost never reflect that dy
ing is a great benefit.. The most of men get
through when they are sixty or seventy years
old. They get through; there is nothing
left for them to be or to do. And although
they do not want to die, there is no conceiva
ble --rCason, in most instances, why they
should live. They cumber the ground.—
flere and there is an exceptionable case.—
The beauty of a ripe old age is the very
thing that puts to shame an ordinary old age
—useless, cumbrous. -
For many other reasons it also would
. be
unfortunate if men lived, in the full posses
'ion of their powers, to au exceeding great
age. Suppose that some men in New York,
whose names are familiar, who have the pow
er of making and amassing money and prop
erty, and who wield the greill administrative
influence which accompanies great wealth ;
suppose that they, instead of passing :iiv - ay
in a few years and making room for others,
should live five hundred years, already hay •
ing scores of toil ions in their- hands, and
salreedy wielding r, mightyinfluence, through
their wealth 'and experiencs, nothing - on
'earth could prevent their being-deasotie
in
the connuermel world. What a disparity
would there be! lf, with the tone and tem
per of modern. mulhood, turn lived five
hundred years, , what colance s triould there - - be
for a. Ingo at_ airy tose,epo s witliai tuansof-four
litindred years. -How won 1•1 one end of
society, the upper cad, by its position, by
its experience, by its knoveledN, by its
wealth—if these were held selfishly or
_des
potically—weigh down. and oppress the other
side? =There Was a divine mercy wanlfested ,

moreover, the .*ife of GoVernor 'Shannon, to

This announcement rather startled the
gentlemen. Corwin was the first to "reeover
hia composure and take advantage of the sit
uation. ; Expressing himself. delighted at
having met her, "he placed himself beside
'Mrs. Shannon, and at once became very at ,
ientive to her. He told of his acquaintance
with her husband, spoke in high complimen
tary terms of his character and public oareer,
and expressed hie unbounded adruiratibn of
the man. The lady was charmed,

_special confidence, (loud enough, of course,
_to be beard by the hard cider wen) that her
husband was certain of re-election; . that he

Corwin ;

'And who now goes about the country,'
suggested Corwin, making himself ridiculotis
by drivin g a six horse team, with a l log cab.

'And who they say is as black as the ace
of spades,' chimed in the lady.
',Mut, madam!' eXclaimed Corwin, 'Mack!
yes black as the—l beg yoUr pardon—as
black as I am.'
Continuing the deception in a manner
which kept his friends convulsed with smoth
ered laughter, Corwin took the lady's baby
in his arms, fondled and dandled it, calling
it the 'Young Governor,' and carrying the
heart of the lady by storm. At length the
lady reached her destination, and told Cor.
win so Witla a sigh of regret. The gallant
but unknown candidate assisted the Govern-
or's lady to alight, took the child in hia_arms
and carried it to the house. He saw the la
dy in her parlor and laid the infant fiat OD
its back in her lap. Holding it there for a
moment or two he said :
(M-y-dear Mrs-Shannon, I have laid the
young Governa - r - Lit on his back, anti I'm
going to serve the old Governor the' same
way at the coming election. Good-by 1 I
ought to have told you that my name is Toni
Corwin, who was nothing but a wagon boy.
and is pretty black, I must admit. Good.
bye !' And before Mrs Shannon could re
cover from her istonishinent, he was gone.
Ile did lay' the old Governor flat on his back ;
but the latter returned the compliment two
,years later.
Signs and Omens
Stifles is not superstitious, but he hoard
story litely which greately shook his 'skep•
tieDlitarianiem.' It was of an old gentleman
in Berks County, whose style Was ae ter
ruauized as Tom Gailyle's, and who had
been asked what he thought of signs and o

"'There is a vast deal of idleness in! the

to practice law or physic;
_young men. in.
selling a few yards of ribbon per day, young
then who have no business there, at dui
lege; young wen - if - arming,' all of- Whom

orentertaining beaux. There are all sorts
of agencies, tea thousand shifts to hve, no
matter how, so that it is not by manual
labor. Ina word, the' market of head-work
is glutted in the South, While the hammer
the plane, the trowel, the hoe, the axe, are
crying for staliart arms to grasp them.
'The idea is that a trade is not just' the
_thing for a-young-man who - eoritillers him
self as good as anybody. It is thought a
better thing to be a jack log lawyer, or to
murder people with a jack,-
diploma, or
weigh butter, khan to build a house, or Make
a aewitig matiline or construct a steam en
gine. The agent of somebody's vegetable
pills is thought a more eligible match for
your daughter than the man who. prints
newspaper or a - book. So it is a foolish, - and
often fatal pride which makes• thousands
shrink from the mechanic arts; and. those
very men who, by a lift. of honest industry,
have secureda high position in the com
munity, and a respectable competence for
their families, turn their backs upon their
occupations, and trim their sons out for
something that • will not soil their wthte
.bands. We shall not prosper in the South
until all these folks go to work, nor until la
bor with the hands is properly estimated.*
