When the hay was mown, Maggie, In thse years long ago, And while dihe w,stern sky was riech With runset's rf y glow. Then hand in handl close liniked we passed The ,tewy ricks bet ween, And I was one and-twenty, Slag, And you were seventeen. Your vnice was low and sweet, Maggie ; Your wavy h'air was brown; Your cheek was like the irild red rose That.showered its petals down; Your eyes were like the blue speedwell, With dewy moisture sheen, When I was one-ane twenty, 'lag, And you were seventeen. the a ring was in our hearts, Maggio, And all its hopes were ours; And we were children tn the fields, Among the opening flowers. Ah I Life was like a summer day Amid the woodlands green. For I was one and twenty, Ming, Ahd you were seveat een. The years have come and gone, Maggie, With Nnaline and with shade, And Allivered is the silken hair That o'er your shoulder strayed In many a soft and wayward tress The fairest ever seen-. When I was one-and-twenty, Mag, And you were seventeen. Though gently changing time, Maggie, lina touched you in his flight, Your voice has still the old Swett tone, Your eye the old love-light; And years can never, never change The heart you gave, I ween. When I was one.and-iwenty, Maa, And you were seventeen. Flora Harton's Reviige. 'Flora, what was the nam of that young city exquisite who w* laid up here last summer with a aptainod an- t kle ?

There is a spectacle in the Senate rhich ought, perhaps, to receive, but rhioh oftener repels, the commisera ion of those who look upon it. This s the palsied, perishing figure of Par on Brownlow. As regular as the oon the almobt completely helpless id man is assisted to his seat--a hair loth easy chair on the left of the p eaker-in which he reoligs, tron >ling all over, and constantly, like a haken jelly. Seen from the gallery, uis swarthy face looks like that of a nalignant Indian. His lips contort homselves unpleasantly, and his Lauds, twltehing in every finger, re niud one of a couple of enormous pidors crawling over his legs and long the arms of his chair. Once in while the right hand makes a tre nendous expedition to the desk in rot, and returns with a inndkerohief laugling between thumb and fingers. umetimes, with great effort, it eat lies a glass of water from the ridge of he deok to the old man's mouth. Part f the time he sits with a kg hoisted mu a corner of the desk, or crossed Ivor the opposite knee. He is never notioniless. His eyes see and his lirs attend to all that transpires.. Yhonever the debate is earnest or an ntereting question is uppermo-st articularly if it concerns the South, or is own State of Tennessee-he lie ens to it as if it went through every >ore; the big dark veins on his temn >les grow bigger and darker; the leek shakes with the shaking of his eg; his hands clutch venomously at mm tn~y and: the scullintcbimg f i l si a would give all his life after that one Moment, if for the moment he had strength to get on his feet, and pour fourth as of old a flood of vitnpera tion upon his enemies. But he has no strength left to speak, and was compelled the other day to have the personal explanation of his course in regard to recent political events in Tennessee, which he had prepared in manuscript, read by the clerk.. Some expressions in it were abusive of But ler and other members of the House, and the Vice-President stopped the reading. The emotion of the dying man in the easy chair so racked -hit at this juncture, that anothee8enator, pitying him, requested that olely on account of his feeble condition, the reading might be suffered to proceed. This was assented to. Had it been otherwise, perhaps the angqm of the Parson would have consuomed him whore he sat.- Cor. N. Y. WMrld.

Eighteen hundred and sixty-nine is dying, slowly dying; its pulses are sinking fainter and fainter, and The' life o' the old year is touched cor ruptodly, And the echoing winds, which some suppose the voices of the Gods, Do by the passing comment: that they make, Foretell its coming dissolution. Naught is heard but the low, wail ing requiem of the soughing winds and the slow ticking pulses of the dy ing cycle, as its three inseperable companions, Man, Conscience and Memory, gather sadly around his lonely couch. Suddenly, without warning, in the midst of the gloom of the death-chamber, Memory arraigns man before the bar of Conscience, and solemnly charges him with-time misspent., opportunities for doing good unimproved, the commission of evils innumerable, and the violation of known laws ; the charges and specifi cations are sustained by Conscience, who passes *a sentence that pierces like arrows of keen self-condemnation to the soul of man ; he appeals to the dying year, and the fainting old mon arch, hearing the appeal, pardons the offender, and, while his dirge is being' chanted by the spirits of the gale, and his life is ebbing slowly away, points to another, a new year, that shall soon be bon, and adjures him to be more i faithful to it than ho has been to the past.-- I'ask ingbn Jnelligenccr.
