THE FALLACY OF HOPE.
Hope, on thought's light pinion, lov-51 to
fly to the haven in -which oar brightest
anticipation are anchored ; yet maDy a
time, and oft when we trusted its fond de
Imions most, have we found ourselves
wrecked on the strands of despair.
'Tis natural for us to picture the fancy
wrought scones of the shaded future.
True, we may for a while brood o'er
u memory's buried flowers," but soon the
past ia hurled into Oblivion's gulf, and the
bright and cheering anticipations of the
unattained future hold empire over our
thoughts. Yet, oh I how very soon its
promised pleasures prove a mockery, and
we are doomed to seo
The hopes thai rose in smiles to-day
Sink in tears to morrow."
AIUUI IflVll UMbteftM u ..
expectations of a brilliant career and of
being crowned with the laureled wreaths
of distinction ; yet should these hopes bo
realized, there would still be something
wanting to mako them blest.
When borne upon the tide of conquest
won, higher aims animate tho soul, and
ambition prefses its victim on still on !
ren the crowned monarch of a subjugated
world, after he has touched " the highest
point of all his greatness" and reached
"the full meridian of all hia glory," still is
tormented with a with for something
more.
But every object, however ardently and
passionately 6ought, becomes less pleasing
when attained. Hope is a passing fabric
founded upon the delusive lalacies of the
imagination, which will crumble at the
first touch of adversity.
Manny, many, indeed, of the richest
eems of happiness exist only in our bright

palions.

to morrow's happiness with rainoow nues
as purely bright as ever adorned the sum

Tho fairy flower of content may uniold
and broatho its spicy inconse on the air, but
it is crushed ere it reaches its zenith by a
storm that rushes past. Yet, should wo re
linqui.h iJl of oar golden dreams of the
iuture because one is unfulfilled ? Nay,
though they be as frail as the transient
gems of earth, atill with a voico of promise
they come and go ; as soon as one hope is
blighted, another one ialla upon the heart.
The shadow from the wing of the death
angel is. sometimes upon the hearth stone,
yet, should we despond and grow weary of
life because one trial has entered the bouse-
bold? ,, . . ...
Nav verily, but we should look up with
hopeful eyes, uttering from the heart, thy
will be done." Uncertainty and delusion
may bewilder ua on every side, and when
we are engaged in high and noble pursu.ts,
all our fond hopes may be blasted, and
happy expectations overshadowed with dis
appointment ; bat behind this dark, gloomy
Bbadow is tho clear Buubuiu.
Then look on the sunny side, and happi
ness will come like aray of sun-light, d.s-
n:r.nnr.a(iive p-loom and illumining

our pathway to prosperity.
A shadow of sadness sometimes nestles
in tho heart when we picture the future,
then - hope on, hope aver" should be in-
delibly stamped opon our hearts.
It should be our motto to keep us from
despondency.
Perchance, the ruffled current of opposb
tion may ferce as down the stream of dis.
appointment until we are almost constrain
ed to believe that our pathos no longer
cheered by the faintest twinkle of the bUas
ed Star of Hope ; bat soon it appears, chas
ing away the light gossamer clouds of sor
row that momentarily dimmed our sunny
prospects.
We very often sacrifice present ease for
the hopr of distant pleasure! and let the
blessings of life glide by unheeded, in ma
king preparations to enjoy those we fancy
await as in the " roseato bowere" of com.
ing days.
Well hath the poet oompared the idle
chase of Hope to one purtuing a butterfly,
which leads them on from flower to flower,
then loses its charm by being caught.
For Try touch that wooed its stay
Hath brushed its brightest hues away,
Till charm and hue and beauty gone
'Tis left to fly or fall alone.
Can it with wounded pinion soar
From rose to tulip as before t
Or, beauty blighted in an hour"
Find joy within its broken bower ?
No : gayer insects fluttering by
Ne'er droop the wing o'er those that die."

Sugar Millet Seed Important Fact.
It should be generally known that the com
mon broom corn, wbica is a species oi
millet, it planted near tbe Sugar Millet
readily mixes with it, and if the seed thus
obtained is planted, it produces a new
variety, greatly resembling broom corn,
but taller and larger. This variety in
usually called the red sort, and 1 almost
worthless for syrup.
The tact as to the mixture and the pro
duction of this inferior adulterated variety,
I know from repeated personal observation
to be true.
It is thereore important that geuuinc
seed should be selected for planting, and
that broom corn should not bo planted any
where near the Sugar Millet.
If all the newspapers were to call public
attention to this subject, they would do
good service te a valuable interest.

Father in Heaven ! Thine is the power,
To bless in every land and hour ;
Then hear my heart's deep bursting prayer,
And shield the precious prisoners there.
When the days grow bleak and cold,
A mantle of mercy round them fold ;
Let their hearts be warm and cheery.
On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie.
'Mong those " heroes in the strife,"
For Southern land and Southern life,
Onetlarling heart alone
Throbs with the blood that stirs my own;
Yet for all I bend my knee
In fervent prayer oh ! God to Thee ;
Keep their lives from being weary
On Johnson s Island in Lake Erie.
A sacred cause they have espoused.
The best that a in them is aroused ;
Deeply their noble souls revere
Thee, oh ! God, and country dear;
Then let them live to see at last
The victory won, the struggle pat
Bring them through their bondage dreary.
On Johnson's Island in Lake F.rie.
A thousand hopes are to them bound.
A thousand hearts they cluster round ;
Affection drops for them a tear,
And for their safety stands in fear.
Oh ! free them from the captor's hand,
And let us greet in Southern land
The prisoners, with a welcome merry,
From Johnson's Island in Lako Erie.

FOR EVERY ONE THAT
ASKETH BECEIV-
ETH.
O, ask not wealth ;
The gaudy bauble glitters to deceive ;
It hath a thorn to press thee when asleep ;
It maketh wings, and leaveth thee to weep :
Ask not what wealth can give.
O, ask not fame ;
The empty bubble breaks at every gale;
Its mighty shadows utalk in midnight gloom ;
It kills his hero, and then haunts hia tomb,
Where all his triumphs tail.
O, ask not love ;
"The fond heart's idol breaketh the fond heart ;
His Bmile if oft deceitful, and is power
Teo oft is felt in sorrow's darkest hour ,
Ask not hia treacherous dart.
0, aek not life ;
"Not even life itself makes good the name"
How oft its vtctim craves the boon of death.
When guilt or sorrow yearn to yield the breath
Ask not the fitful tiamc.
Ask for a quiet mind ;
A heart at rest from nil the jars of strife :
An humble heart, that never soars to fall;
A heart to bless the Hand that gives it all,
That priceless gift of life.
Ask for a fount of tears ;
The heart to sympathize in oth-rs woe.
j The soul to teel for all the aorrowing here,
And power to point them to a better sphere,
) Where tears can never flow.
Ask for a broken heart,
A gritf for all the ills thy hand has done ;
I A pang for wafed life, tor useless breath ;
I A hope that triumphs o'er the fear of death.
Ask, and the goal is won.
