JMCIS03E3X MT I A, JTY "Where arc They ? Where are thoy with whom I started, Traveling o'er life's joyful way ; Years have vanished since we parted, I am hore, but where are they ? O tho hours that blissful blest us, O the friends that once caress'd us Bosom friends that fondly pross'd us, Where aro they V As the early crystal dawning, Heralds in a glorious day ; So was life's enrapturing morning, Bright with Hope's delusive ray ; Scenes of Heavenly brightness seeming - Scones with fadeless lustre gloaming, Lit with smiles of beauty beaming, Where are they? As the stars in clustering bands, Sweotb smiling, smoothly rolling; S J with clasped hearts and hands, . Full of bliss we sought the goal ; Pleasure's radiant sky was o'er us, Hope on gilded pinions boro ns, Lovo in angel guise beforo ns, Woo'd the soul. As tho streamlet dancing by, Joyful ever-ever sings ; As the crystal'd evening sky Gems of beauty ever brings ; So the years in bright appearing, Ever growing-ever cheering, Wrapt our souls in love endearing, Like the Spring. They have gone, whose hearts were lightest, They to whom I fondly clung ; They whose buoyant hopes were brightest, They who sweetest smiled and sung ; Fairy forms in grace array'd, Cheeks, where beauty blushing play'?], Eyes, where Love his conquests made, Hearts among. Why, ah ! why this this mournful feeling, Why should tears embittering flow? Years*in silent swiftness stealing, Meet where flow'rs of glory grow ? There, I'll meet the buoyant-hearted, Those with whom I started - , Thus?! from whom I weeping parted. Long ago ! Thc First Baby. By the Rev. Mr. -, S. W. B. to G. C., only daughter, etc. "No cards." Why didn't it say no baby? I have one of these interesting ani? mals at my house. It came -when it rained, dark as pitch, and ruy um? brella at tho store-no cars ruuniug. The doctor lived five miles due West, and the nurse six miles due East, and when I got home to the bosom of my family, the condensed milkman was at the next door. It is a funny chip, that baby. Solferino color, and the length of a Bologna sausage. Cross? I guess not. Um um; it commenced chasing me down tho pathway of life just when muslin, linen and white dannel were the highest they had been since Adam built a house 'or Mrs. Eve's chickens-doctors charged two dollars a squint, four dollars a grunt, and on account of the scarcity of rain in the country, take what is left in a man's pocket, no discount for cash, and send bill for balance, January 1. A poor thing is that baby; a speck of a nose like a wart; head as bald as a squash., and no place to hitch a waterfall; a month just suited to come the gum game and chew milk. Oh, crackee, yon should hear ber sing. I have bumped it, stuffed my fur cap down its throat, giving it the smoothing iron to play with, but that little red lump that looks as if it couldn't hold blood enough to keep a mosquito from fainting, persists in yelling like thunder. It shows a great desire to swallow its fists; and the other day they dropped down its throat, and all that prevented their going clear through was the crook of its elbows. It stopped its music, and I was happy one and a half minutes. It is a pleasant thing to have a baby in the houso. Think of the pleasures of a father, in dishabille, trembling in the mid? night hour, with his warm feet upon a square yard of oil-cloth, dropping paregoric in a spoon by moonlight, somebody thumping on the door, wife of your bosom shouting "hurry," and the baby yelling till the fresco drops -from the ceiling. Its a nice time to think of dress coats, pants, ties and white kids. Shades of de? parted cock-tails, what comfort, what a picture fov an artist in plaster of Paris ! Its mother says the darling is troubled with wind on the stomach it beats all the wind instruments you ever heard. I have to get up in the cold while the milk warms-it uses the bottle. I have a cradle with a representation of a miraculous sooth? ing syrup bottle on the dash-board. I tried to stop its breath the other night-it was no go; 1 rocked it so hard I missed tho stays, and sent it slap clear across the room, upsetting a jar of preserves. It didn't make any noise, then, oh no! I ts mother pays only wait until it gets bleached, (.l's been vaccinated,) and old enough to crawl around and feed on pins. Yes, I'm going to wait. Won't it be delightful? John, run for the doctor, sis has fallen in the slop-pail and is chokin^ with a potato skin; sis has fallen down stairs; sis has swallowed the tack hammer; shows signs of mumps, measles, croup, whooping cough, small-pox, cholic, dysentery, cholera infantum, or some other darn thing to take all the money laid 1 >y f< >r ray winter's corn beef; and all this comos from sham? pooing and cm-ling my hair, wearing nice clothes, looking liandsome, going a courting, and making my wife fall in love and marry mc. "Johnny, how many cakes did you have on Christmas?" "Five- first a sponge cake, then an almond cake, theil a current cake, then n sweet cake, and then a strnna-cake'" - Amongst the prominent skaters at the reservoir pond, near Baltimore, lately, was Mrs. Henry E. Johnson, late Miss Harriot liane, niece of ex president Buchanan. How TO MAKE MUTTON,-A lot of Coteswold sheep haring been seen in New York, that wonld weigh from 300 to 400 pounds, the proprietor (a Ca? nadian) was asked his method for fattening sheep, and replied: 'Tn the first place, I secure a good breed. That is the most important point. The next thing is t? keep them growing from the time they are weaned till they are taken to the slaughter-house, never allowing them to grow poor at any season of the year. I have fed them all the hay, peas and oats they would eat. Peas are better than Indian corn for mutton. Oats furnish a nitrogeneous matter for tim formation of necessary muscle. Peas produce more fat than tho same number of pounds of cereal grain." ' 'Do you feed any roots and straw?" "Yes, each sheep gets not less than ono or two pounds of turnips daily, with r?l the straw to eat and lie on that he wants; and a good shed is provided, with a supply of pure water, and salt to lick at plea? sure." "How much do you expect to get for the largest of your flock?" "Two hundred dollars per head, or I ship them from this market." The next day we learned they were taken at that price for Christmas mutton. THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD.-Ah, tliis beautiful world ! Indeed, I know not what to think of it. Sometimes it is ?xii gladness and sunshine, and Hea? ven itself lies not far off. And then it changes suddenly, and is dark and sorrowful,, and thc clouds shut out the sky. In the lives of the saddest of us there are bright days like this, when we feel as if we could take the great world in our arms. Then come the gloomy hours, when the fire will neither burn in our hearts nor on our hearths; and all without and within is dismal, cold and dark. Livery heart has its secret sorrows, and oftentimes Avo call a man cold when he is only sad. RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES.-A man that is of judgment and understand? ing shall sometimes hear ignorant men differ, and know well within himself that those which so differ mean one thing, and yet they them? selves would never agree; and if it come so to pass in that distance of judgment which is between man and man, shall we not think that God above, that knows the heart, doth not discern that frail men in some of their contradictions, intend tho same thing, and accept both?-Bacon.
