A LITTLE ELBOW ROOM Good friend, don't erowd so very tight, There's room enough for two : Keep in your mind that I have a right To live as well as yon, Yoo rich and strong, I poor and weak, But think yon I presume. When only this poor boon I ask A little elbow room ? Tis sueh as you, the rich and strong. If you but have the will, Could give the weak a litt along. And help him up the hill. But no you ostle, crowd and drive. ' You storm, and fret aud fume ; Are you the only man alive la want of elbow room T Bat thus it is on life's round path, 8elf seems the God of all ; The strong will crash the weak to death, The big devour the small, Far better be a rich man's bound A valet, serf or groom Tbat straggles 'mid the mass around, Wheo we've no elbow room. Up heart, my boy ! don't mind the shock Up heart and push along ! Your skin will grow rough with knocks, Your limbs with labor strong ; Aud there's a hand uuseen to aid, A star, to light the gloom ; Up heart, my boy. nor be afraid, Strike out for elbow room. And when yon see amid the throng A fellow toiler slip. Just give him as you pass along, A brave and kindly grip ; Let noble deeds, though poor you be, Your path in life illume. And with true Christuin charity. Give others elbow room. Backbone. BIRTH AND DEATH. . How quickly one generation of men follows another to the grave !

A gentleman who has been recently travelling in the lower counties tells us the following amusing story : He was stopping over uiglit at a house where the partition walls were par ticularly thin. The adjoining room was occupied by a mother snd her daughter. After retiring the mother began to rebuke the daughter for an alleged partiality to somebody named John, which soft im peachment the daughter denied vigor ously. "But," said the mother, "I saw him kissing you at the cow-pen yesterday S. mm morning, Amanda. "No ma, he wasn't kissing me at all."
