We met, but meet no more, Those hours of joy and happiness With tKnn n*n nrar a'op All dreary seems the cold, cold world ; All night?and not one ray Of hope to light tlio wilderness Or cheer my lonely way. Thy smile an angel might liave owned, I never more shall see, Nor hear again thy voice which seem d Like music sweet to nie. . Thy kiss which thrilled niy bosom, Thy pure, thy loving kiss, I never shall receive again? It were too mnch of bliss. Each cherished word and token Thy goodness ever gave, By me shall be far prized above The gems of sea or cave. Farewell?farewell forever! Thy memory is mine? In that I'll seek for happiness; May heaven keep watch o'er thine. [For the Ledger. Liner. The flower may fade ; For to fade 'tis made; The flower may die, And its beauty fly; ( But still its fragrance lives, And its sweet odor gives, And with such rich perfumes fill the air, I That ono thinks the living flowers near. , CJ-.

Tho delightful task falls to us of repor- ] ting the first brilliantly successful case of 'popping the question' since the advent of j Leap Year. It is a very interesting ease, and wo have no doubt that if others pursue . a like strenuous course, a husband, at least, j will be the result. < Some one has remarked that early marriage makes us immortal. It is tho sole j and chief empire. Tho man who resolves , to live without woman, and that woman j who resolves to live without man, are en- , etnies to tho community in which they ] dwell, injurious to themselves, destructive to whole world, apostates from nature, , and rebels against heaven and earth ! Such, undoubtedly, were the thoughts ? of M iss Charlotte Black, as she rose troin g her bed on the lucky morning of January ?"If I have a chance to-day, I'll do it, if 1 ] I choke in tho attempt. I'll, if needs Imj, I a martyr to my own happiness. Yes," I she continued, parenthetically, u now, or never?now, or never!" and she repeated this strong expression several times, all the while looking fierce and determined as desperation itself. Miss Black took her breakfast at nine, intending to take an omnibus at ten.? Dressing herself with tho greatest care, even to the proper sticking of a pin, she awaited the arrival of the coach. Punctual, to one second, came the omnibus.? The lady stepped to the curb and enquired in a delicate sentimental voice, 1 "Have you any room inside, Mr. Dri- 1 ver "Ycs'm, lots room !" then looking down into the coach ne said quickiy, in an undertone, "for Heav'u's gentlemen, don't let a young lady stand a shillyshalling on the side-walk, and the young lady quite l beautiful and fresh like." i "Beautiful t" said an old grey beard in quinngly. "Walk in, madam," said three or four in a breath. "Plenty of room," remarket! a nearly smothered fab man.

From the Youth?* Companion. God Hears and Answers Prayer. Caroline was a little German girl, of a . giddy and wayward character, but very good-natured. Her mother was often , obliged to punish her; and of this punish, men she was greatly afraid. She liked very much to go to school; for she had a good old schoolmaster, who often talked to her about Jesus. One day he read [ about the woman of Canaan, and the wonderful manner in which her prayers were answered, and Caroline and hei . school-fellows wero advised to go to Christ . iu all their little troubles. "But do you think, sir, that he will lullfil our desirea as readily as he did those ot this poor woman 1" ( "Certainly," said the good old man, "il you pray from your heart, and aocordina > to his will, he will hear you, and you will . soon see that you have not prayed in : va'" w i . "Oh, how glad was Caroline when she knew she might go to Jesus with all het little troubles. She thought she should , not be phnished any more, for she would I always pray to Him to help her wheasht I had missed her book, or lost her money, r or torn her things. 1 Now Caroline had a friend who was very fond of her, and made her little prea. euts which Caroline was proud to show t to her schoolfellows; but through hei carelessness, they were very often spoiled, r J ust about this time she received a very preivv jmra*oi, ana sue wanua to uuce it , to school to show it to the girls ; but her mother thought she had better wait till , she was older and more careful. Caroline ho werer.was so pressing that her mother allowed her to talce a little walk with it, in company with ono of her little friends, , telling her at the same time that she , should punish her if any accident befel it. Away went Caroline with her friend. At first she was very cautious how she handled it; but soon she becamo ascarelees as usual. By the edge of road was a small snake,and to get out of the way she ran up a bank, and fell down ; she did not hurt herself but the pretty paraaol with the ivory ban, die waa broken, to great terror of the lit, tie girl. At first she thought of her pool r mother, and then of the punishment she 5 would certainly have; but like a sunbeam i the idea came into her mind that Cod j would help her, if she prayed very earnes. tly. The only way in which she expected : this help, was to have her parasol mend ed; so Caroline said to herself, "I will 3 kneel down in a comer of the garden, and ' tell Cod all my trouble." [ She prayed from her heart many times 3 and then went to the spot where'she had r left the parasol, to sec if it was mended : but ah ! there it was, broken as before.? 1 She thought she could not have prayed 1 long enough, and so she returned a second > time; but still the parasol was not mended and she was obliged, with a sad and hew vy heart, to go home. 5 Once more, however, in a corner of th< r passage, before she e&tered the sfttfag > room, where she could not be seen, *h< ? strod still, and said, "Oh Lord, do heij ' me!" Her mother noon uv Kr h? swollweyee and sorrowful countenance that something wis wrong. u Uaa anything happened to yau f' asked her mother. "Yea, dear mother," the poor gh| re plied, "my parasol is broken ; oh, do no 1 punish me very much, for I have beei r* praying to God to mend it, aa any school 13 master said; but though be has not men ded it yet, I think he will do it by and by.'
