My Lamb?. I loved them so, That when the Elder Shepherd of tho fold Came over with the storm, and pale and And begged for one of my sweet lambs to boin, I bade him go. He claimed the pet A little fondling thing that to my breast Clung always, either in quiet or unrest ; I thought of all my iambs! loved lum host, .And yet-and yet I laid him down In those white shrouded arms with bitter tears, For some voice told me that, in after years, He should know naught of passion, grief or fears, As I had known. And yet again The Elder Shepherd came. My heart grew faint ; He claimed another lamb, with sadder plaint, Another! She who, gentle as a saint, Ne'er gave me pain. Aghast I turned away ! There sat she, lovely as an angel's dream, "?1er golden locks with sunlight all agleam, lier holy eves with Heaven in their beam ; t knelt to pray. "Is it Thy will? My Father, say, must this pet lamb be * given ? O Thou hast many such, dear Lord, in Heaven." And a soft voice said, "Nobly hast thou striven. But-peace, be still." 0 how I wept, Anti clasped her to my bosom with a w?d And vearning love-mv lamb-mv pleasant child. Her, too, I gave. The little angel smiled. And slept. "Go, go," I cried ; For once again that Shepherd laid his hand Upon the noblest of our household band ; Like a pale spectre there he took his stand . Close to his Ride. And yet how wondrous sweet The look with which ho heard my passion? ate cry, "Touch not my lamb; for him O let me die !" " A little while," ho said, with 6mile and sigh ; Again to meet." Hopeless I fell ; And when I-rose the light had burned so low, So faint. I could not seo my darling go ; He had not bidden me farewell, but O, 1 felt farewell ! More deeply, far, Than if my arms had compassed that slight frame. Tho' could I but have heard him call my name "Dear mother 1" but in Heaven'twill be the same; There burns my star ! , BBjflr AnolLi' lamb I thought, for only one W?F* Of the ?ear told is spared to bo my sun, mr My guide, my mourner when this life if My heart would break. O with what thrill I heard him enter 1 but I did not know (For it was dark) that ho had robbed mo so The idol of my soul-hs could not go O, heart, be still ! Came morning. Can I tell How this poor frame its sorrowful tcnan ? kePt? _ , W \ For waking tears were mine ; I.

Dr. Ashbel Green, of Philade: phia, who died some years ago, kep an autobiographical volume whic contained many interesting remin sconces. He speaks of meeting, whi] ^ on a visit to the Warm Springs < Virginia, a notorious gambler, Maje Willys, who had been a gallant office of the regular Revolutionary arm; and was a remarkable man in mac respects, both of body and mind. E was at the head of all the gamblers i Virginia; and when Dr. Green heai of his coming to ? i .e Warm Spring where ho had got the company to trei religion respectfully, he said to a s rious man who was well acquaint? ? ?? -- - - with the Major, that he was afraid 1 -would give him trouble. The gent! niau replied that it was unnecessai tear; that the Major valued himse on being a friend to the clergy; an< although dreadfully profane, he nevi swore in thc presence of a minister i the Gospel of whatever denominatio; This testimony Dr. Green found be strictly true". Willys not only ti tended public worship regularly, b ?"-.us an advocate for asking a blessii and returning thanks at the comme meals; and, in the absence of a cl? gyraan, was accustomed to ask blessing and give thanks himself. ] * the Virginia Sweet Springs ho on said to a circle of hisgamblingfrienc "Gentlemen, you may think of it you please, and laugh at it, as I kne yoi will, yet it is strictly true, thal ue.yer close my eyes tili I have coi nutted myself to the protection my Gae? " ^ THE BEAUTY OF OL? PEOPLE.-Men and women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Sir Edward Bul? wer Lytton speaks, in one of his no? vels, of a man "who was uglier than he had any business to be;" and, if he could but read it, every human being carries his life in his face, and is good-looking or the reverse as that .life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisel of thought and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of bloom? ing young men and of white and pink maids. There is a slow-growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no pe? riod of rife, and goodness improves ! the longer it exists.. I have seen : sweeter smiles on a lip of seventy than I ever saw on a lip of seventeen, j There is the beauty of youth, and j there is also the beauty of holiness I a beauty much more seldom met; and j more frequently found in the arm ; chair by the fire, with grand-children j around" its knee, than in the ball? room or the promenade. Husband ! and wife who have fought the world ; side by side, who have made common i stock " of joy and sorrow, and aged ! together, are not unfrequently found i curiously alike in personal appear ' ance and in pitch and tone of voice j just as twin pebbles on the beach, ex ! posed to the same tidal influences, ? are each other's alter ego. He has \ gained a feminine something which I brings his manhood into full relief, i She has gained a masculine some j thing which acts as a foil to her wo ! manhood. ! Two children in Chicago have been I poisoned by putting a card photo ; graph in their mouths. One has I died, thither is very low. Executors' Notice.

John is a handsome dark brown horse, eight years old, fifteen hands high, by Sir Archy, Whip and Woodpecker thorough-bred stock-with a cross of Mor fan. Ho was raised by W. B. Daniels, ?sq., of Yolk District, and in that section of the State ?has a high reputation as a stock horse. In January, 1865, a patriotic citizen purchased him at a high price, and offered hun as a present to the most dis- ! tinguished cavalry officer in the Confede- j rate States army. The Lieutenant-General, however, with characteristic modesty, de? clined to accept tho costly and splendid charges. John, having tho kindest dispo? sition, was then easily broken to harness, is a fast trotter and hue buggy horse; Terms cash on first service.
