raia?criT?T ? A JTT "Note thc Bright Hour? Only.** A loaaon in itself sublimo, A lesson worth enshrining. Is this-"I take no heed of time. Save, when the sun ia shiniug." Those motto words a dial bore, And wisdom never teaches To human hearts a better lore, Than this short sentence teaches. As lifo is sometimes bright and fair. And sometimes dark and lonely. Let us forget its nain and care, And note the bright hours only. There is no grove on earth's brc %d chart, But has some bird to cheer it; So hopo sings on in everv heart, Although we may not bear it. And if to-day tho heavy wing Of sorrow "is oppressing, Torchance a morrow'.* sun will bring A-wcary heart a blessing, For life is sometimes bright and fair, And sometimes dark and lonely. Then let's forget its toil anti care, And note tho bright hours only. We bid tho joyous moments haste, And then forget their glitter - We take tho cup of life, anil taste No portion but tin; bitter. But wo should teach our hearts to deem Its sweetest drops the strongest; And pleasant hours should ever seem To linger round us longest. As lifo is sometimes bright and fair, And sometimes dark and lonely, Lot us forget its toil and care, And noto its bright hours only. The darkest shadows of the night, Are just before tho morning, Then lot us wait the coming light, All boding phantoms scorning. And whilo we're passing on the tide Of time's fast ebbing river, Lot's pluck tho blossoms by its side, And bless thc gracious Giver. As lifo is sometimes bright and fair, And sometimes dark and lonely, Wo should forgot its pain and care, And note its bright hours only. BATON ROUGE ANECDOTES.-We ' take the following from the Advocate, j "Pomp" must be the same darkey i who said be bad known the Missis- j sippi river ever since it was a small j creek : "Our old reliable says that he sup- \ ported an old darkey ouce, (it is not j polite to say owned,) who bad lied about it so often that he actually be? gan to believe that he bad boen a ; body servant of Gin'ral Washington. 1 'Were you at the surrender of Corn? wallis ?' he inquired, one day. 'Yes, sar,' replied Pomp, 'ob course I was dar. Ole Massa George, he rode up on top a big black boss, wid de tail bobbed and wid one rod eye. Massa Cornwallis, be com'ed up on a little buck pony, wid a wall eye, an' he ; look mighty sheepy when he hole out i his gole sword to Massa George.' ? 'What did your master say, Pomp ?' 'Say ? Why, he curl up his lip and he wave bis band from Massa Corn? wallis to'ard me, and he say, 'hand it to my servant, sar." .'Old Pomp and another old darkey woro one day disputing over their respective ages. 'I com'd hero when the Massassip was so narrow you could jump across it,' asserted old Oick. 'Oli, shaw,' replied Pomp, 'when I fuss com'd from ole Virginny I had to toto water fur tho hands as war digging it out !' " Theodore Hood once said to a man at whoso table a publisher got very drunk : "Why, you appear to have empitedyour wino cellerinto a book? seller."
