ONE Ji tI.L One by one the sands are flowing, One by one the moments fall Some are coming, some are going, Do not strive to grasp them lli. One by one thy duties wait thee, Let thy whole strength go to each Let no future dreams olato thee, Learn thou first what these can teach. One by one brights gifts of Heaven, Joys are sont thee here below Take thon readily when given, Iteady, too, to lot them go. One by one thy griefs shall mcet thec, Do not fear an armed band - One will fado as others greet thee, Shadows passing through the land. Do not look at life's long sorrow, See how small each moment's pain God will hel) the for to-morrow, Every day begin again. Every hour that fleets so slowly, H1as its task to do or bear ; Luminous the crown and holy, If thou set each gem with care. Do not linger with regretting, Or for passing hiouvr despond; Nor thy daily toil forgetting, Look too eagerly beyond. Hours are golden links, God's tokens, Roaehing Heaven ; but one by one Take them lest the cha in be broken Ere thy pilgrimage be done. -ouse/hod Wrds.. .A PERPLEXED BRIDEGROOM1. Some. days since a very rustic and inartistic couple, residenits of Ken tuekgy, near tihe Tenmnesee line, con cluded marriage to be their destiny, and with this~ idea, camne to Western Athens, dlesirous of sacriticing them.. selves to Ihymen at the earliest oppor.. .tunity. In due time they arrived in this city and repairing to tihe Spensor House, informed clerk Andrew Blunm that they were extremely intent on pecrpetrtinig matrimony, and that nothing could thwvart their pupoe M~r.. Blum, so far from wishing to pre vent their amiable immolation, made every effort to facilitate thteir design,. and so wvell ditd he succeed, that i~n less than ana hour "James" and "Je mima" were wedded as firmly as lay in the- capacity of a eogyman to bind them. The clerk, after the ceremony had been performecd, holieving that all new married people ought to be as well accommodated as possible, gave them a parlor and bed room en. the third floor, and bid them "good even ing" about ten o'clock,not neylecting to wish~ them every possible blhas. The twain meekly followed the-ser vant to the roonms, and wore left alone thoro for the night ; the clerk think ing n+ more of thoem until' about two o'clock when,sitting dosing in easy chair behind the counter in the office, lie wi'aronsed by a voice saying: Look here, Mr..

I don't believe in "Good Luck," or "Bad Luck," being branded on a man's brow at his borning, that lie has got to wear, as a dog does a collar, without knowing why. T'hero is such a thing, (in words,) as Good Luck, so there is ucli a thing, as energy, pluck, and endurance, that prompts a man to Pontoon a swainp, ratl",r than get stuck in it ; and thero is such a thing as Bad Luck, thit prompts a man to get his honso insured, for 25 hundred and 50 dollars, the next day after it gets burnt ip. I never have heanrd any body who was prosperous im tliir en terprises give the credit of it to Good Luck ; but. I have known thousands of men spend all the day long, in a corner grosery, brag giig albout Bad linLek. Good Lueckis like virtte, something to be gained, and Bad' Luck is some thing lo be gained too, but it is like a bad c)ld, that a lan must expect, to gain, W1 ho is careless enuff, to sleep, (in a cloudy night,) in a 10 acre lot that ain't feniced inl.

"Yes, sir," was the reply. "About eighteen pitched bat ties, sir." "Ever kill any Yankees ?"' "No sir ; never killed any." "flow do you know that V" "Well, I couldn't kill any of them.
