' ' When chill November's surly blart Made fields and forests bare, -One evening, as I wandered forth Along the banks of Ayr, ' I spied a man whose aged step Seemed weary, worn with care : His face was furrowed o'er with years, And. hoary was his hair. "Youcg stranger, whither wanderest thou?" Began the reverend sage; "Does thirst of wealth thy step constrain, Or youthful pleasure's rags t Or haply, prest with cares and woes, Too soon thou hast began To wander forth, with me, to mourn The miseries ol man. "O man, while In thy early years, ' How prodigal of time! Misspending all thy precious hours, Thy glorious youthful prime ! Alternate follies take the sway : Licentious paexioos burn ; Which tenfold force gives Nature's law, That man was made to mourn. - f '; " Look not alone on youthful prime, Of manhood's active might; Man then is useful to his kind, Supported in his right ; But st-e him en the edge of life, " With cares and sorrows wore, . Then age and want, O ill-matched pair! . Show man was made to mourn. ' A few seem favorites of fate, j; In pleasure's lap carest; Yet think not all the rich and great Are likewise truly blest. But, oh, what crowds in every land Are wretched and forlorn! ' - Through weary life this lesson learn ' . , That man was madeto mourn. . " ' Many anil sharp the numerous ills, L tnwpven' with our frame ' , More pointed still we make onrselves, Regret, remorse, and shame ! And mau, whose heaven-erected face The smiles of love adorn, Man's inhumanity to man Makes counties thousands mourn. Yet let not this too much, my son, Disturb thy youthful breast : This partial view of human-kind Is surely not the best ! ; The poor, oppressed, honest man Had never, sure, been born, Had there not been some recompense ' To comfort those that mourn ! " O death ! the poor man's dearest friend, The kindest and the best ! j -'. Welcome the hour ray aged limbs Are laid with thne at rest. The great, the wealthy, fear thy blow, From pemp and pleasure torn ; But oh, a blest relief to those That weary-laden mourn !" KI.VSTOIV, N. aprs-12ra V. Drs. HYATT & TULL.

I hate him. We have never had a moment's peace since he took possession ot the house. declared Polly Fatten, with a staniD ot her toot. . The 'he' referred to . was not, as might beeuppossed, a tramp or a sher iff's officer, not even a poor relation, or an Irish butler, or a heathen Chi nee. Not at alu The, object of Pol ly's wrath, was a personage lifted up, as it would seem, by virtue of his po sition, above human criticism as above human rules, a myth, an unknown en tity no other, ih fact, than the little cood cupid himself. Hd and his ma chinations had of late wrought changes woful oues, Polly thought in the constitution of the Patten fara il$; and to her imagination represent ed all manner of discomfort and dis comfiture, the alteration of plans, the blight of hopes innovations and cross-purposes without end. She felt toward him a good, honest, hearty hostility, as one may toward an oppo nent of flesh and blood, as she sat in her bed-room, iaveip-hing upon the subject to her special friena usan Gilmore, who was perched beside her on the broad window-sill. Oh it's all very well to laugh,' she went on; 'but just wait till you try it yourself. All last year was given up, you know, to marrying Helen. Her trousseau, and her presents, and her . furnishingnothing' else was thought of or spoken ot for twelve long months. The house was choked with her things. We all worked our fingers to the bone. Nobody could turn round without finding a woman and a sewing machine at his back. We never even pretended to hear our selves speak. Well, just as it was all over; and Helen comfortably off our minds, Lizzie must needs"7 set up a lover and a lone; engagement John Shaw, too, of all personsl Now I may be dull, but in the name of com mon sense why John Shaw, of all men in the world! 'Lizzie knows, I presume.' 'Well, perhaps she does: still, it Is ftrovokiug. Every -morning of his ife John Shaw looks in for half an hour on his way down town. He and Lizzie absorb the parlor, of course. That is all right, no doubt: but. as it happens, that particular half hour is precisely the one which I used always to take to tidy up the flowers, water and, trim, fill the vases, and make the room nice for the day, and the want of it puts me out dreadfully. I sit a.d twirl my thumbs, and scold to mother, and she never will agree with me. 'Lovers' are priviledged she says. 'Of course they are. Don't be spoil-sport. Polly. Its their turn now ours will come.' Never! But there's more behind What do you say to Eunice's indulge ing in an engagement too? Not really? Very really indeed- John Nor- in tv. rotki.jr. .

Two Johns, you observe, by way of making the confusion greater, bo they sit in the dining-room every evening, while lizzie, ana her John occupy the parlor. 'And where do the. rest of you sit? 'Echo answers. We sit wherever we may. Motner takes nermenaing- basket upstairs, and has a student- lamp on the round table in the upper entry. ' Papa shuts himself up in that dreadful little close 'den' of his, or goes to the office. I observe that he has business there of evenings much oftener than formerly because there is no comfortable place for him at home,' no doubt. Jim makes a point of being ouU" As ! for-Amy and me, we sit on the back stairs, or in the butler's pautry, or any other odd corner which nobody esle wants.' Polly laughed, but there were tears in her brown eyes, and a very mutinous look.about the pretty mouth, which John Norman, while in process of 'sampling the family, to borrow Pol ly's own phrase, had once likened to beautiful Evelyn Hope's of the true 'geranium red.' As if all this wasn't enough,' she went on presently with a half giggle, half sob, 'here is a letter come to-day from Fanny Allen our? cousin, you know and she is engaged too; and she proposes to make us a visit, and her young man means to 'drop along, forsooth, while she is here. Now where are they to sit? I can't imag ine, unless they take the air-chamber of the furnace. The front steps are quite too cold at this tKueof the year, Or 1 might have the trunk-room i cleared out for them; I hadn't thought of that before.', Polly, you are ridiculous. Ytjur cousin will manage that for herself see if she doesn't. s They '.will take walks, or something.' Oh, if they only would! If the whole lot of them would 'take walks,' and keep on walking, and never walk this way how comfortable it would be! Sue, you are abominably tolerant about such matters. That miserable cupid!. I wish I could. hold his wings in the candle and burn them off. He flies in but to do mischief somewhere. Howpeaceful and happy e all were together before this sort of thing be gan!' Take care; he will heaiu you, and he is a revengeful creature. I believe him to be the original little pitcher with long ears, laughed Susan. I don't care if he does hear asserted Polly, defiantly. Has cupid ears? Certain it is that matters grew worse rather than better for Polly from that - day forward. Fanny Allen came, and in due time her lover, according to programme and with the latter a cousin, Mr. Othniel Oliphant, a successful mer chant, Just home from China for a brief visit. His return was not pure ly for business purposes. Mr. Oliph ant was on the look-out for a wife; ! and with the prompt decision of a mercantile man, , he elected Polly Pat ten for that position on a two days' acquaintance. A firm believer in the faith that 'faint heart never won fair lady,' and "nothing venture, nothing have,' he offered himself at the end of the week, and quite undiscouraged by Polly's dismayed 'no,' sat resolutely down and traced his parallels, resolv ed to gain by siege what he had failed to win at a coup by assault. This complication set the seal to Polly's discontents. For just imagine what a state of things it makes,' she told her confi dante Sue. 'There they sit the three seU of nininies one in the parlor, one in me aining-room, one in ine aen, from- which poor , papa is turned out and baggage; and there is that abom inable O! O! (never did man have such suitable initials) looming like doom or a thunder-storm all day long, aeierminea to get me oy myseli, and 'cultivate my acquaintance.' .How can he make me care for him, he says, if he never has the chance to see me alone? It is the most ' embarrassing, abominable condition of affairs. I me, seriously meditate running away to teach school--or something. Home is growing unbearable. 'Why do you dislike Mr. Oliphant' now rescued from courting He seems to me very pleas of red, red cheeks,' tied hers onj and issuiner sedatelv from the front door. encountered Mr. Oliphant, and pres ently, under his escort, walked up the street. 'After all,' she thought to herself, 'if Polly can't like him, and doesen't want him, why not? Why not, indeed? It was unanswerable. Another fortnight passed. Cousin Fanny and her fiance went away, but O. O. still lingered. ! Polly gave an exclamation of 'despairing disgust when she learned his intention; but, after all,1 he did not prove the nuisance she had feared. He had other friends in town ; by this time, other engage ments, and did not hannt the Pattens' house every day, and all day long, as at nrat. Polly heard of him often at the Gilmores. She saw little of Sue in those day 8; Sue was occupied with her brother, just returned after hn long absence. Mindful of Polly's interdict, perhaps she was in no haste to present him to her' friend a fact which Polly was disposed to resent, when, a full week- after his arrival, she was at last brought face to face with him. She liked John Gilmore at once. He was quite different from the other Johns, and not at all formi dable, Polly thought tall and spare, quiet in speech and shy in manner, wearing spectacles, too, but altogether very 'nice.' What . a myriad of di verse meanings may be includedin that word, beloved of girls, 'nice!'. In Gilmore's case it meant that he did not talk nonsense to Polly, and yet tljat he seemed to like the non sense she talked; at least he brighten ed under, it always, and it made him laugh. He never bored her with sense and long explanations, but she was never m his company without finding herself afterward - thinking about things which he had said, and lo&king up nine pouus oi information sugges ted by his talk, He was so kind hearted, too always so kind! He didn't sneer at her diatribes against love and lovers; and he seemed to un derstand and be a little sorry for her, left out in the cold, solitary in the midst -of, the sisterly circle once : so one in interest and so closely united. Here was a genuine friend at last, she reflected -a friend of her .-'own; and comforted thereby for her losses; she grew a little more tolerant of the happiuess of other people; and even when; a little Jater, a great wave of surprises'lfnd sudden changes broke over the home and all in it, still the tolerance continued. For, first, John Norman had a part nership offered him in South America,, and he and Eunice had to be got ready at a few months notice to sail to their new home. And while Polly was toiling over the hurried prepara tion which ,was all that time made possible, Susan Gilmore, her one spe cial friend, called one morning, and with a burst of emotion' quite unwont ed in the staid Sue, confided the fact that she was engaged engaged to O. 0 who was the loveliest, dearest man that ever wa3, though Polly had been so unkiod as not to find it out a fact she (Sue) was very glad of now aud they were to be married in six weeks, and sail for China directly afterward. And would her dearest Polly for give her, and promise to love O. O. all she possibly could, just for .her sake? . 'You too?' was all Polly's reply. But she put her arms round Sue's neck with a tear and a sob, and all was smooth between the m. Sue, who had dreaded the iuterview, was amaz ed at Polly's forbearance. A change had evidently come over the spirit of her dream. Trials, we are told,-have a chastening effect oil the character. Was It her trials which were thus blessed to Polly? , After that all was bewilderment and confusion dire till the two wed dings were over. Eunice and John departed soon after theirs, and a lull fell upon the weary household. Mrs. Patten went up stairs to lie down. Polly, who sighed for fresh " air, de parted for a walk with John Gilmore, who missed his sister so much, poor fellow! and Amy, the cadette of the family, prepared to celebrate - their newly recovered freedom by adorning and making beautiful the dining-room, purposes, see papa. Amy heard him tap at the door of the Men' while Polly was np stairs. He emerged as she came down; there was a 'long comfabbing in the entry; but at last the front door shut with a delightful emphasis, and Amy jumped up from the sofa to en joy the effect of ber surprise. Come in -oh, do come ml she cried. 'I want you to see if the dear old room doesn't look lovely. I've been all the afternoon doing it, so that it might be nice for our first evening. Isn't it pleasant to have a room to sit in again? Aren't yon glad that the wedding is over, and all the tiresome love-making, and wean have cozy utile times ' at ' home ; like other people? Why, Polly, how queer you lookl Don't you like it? What makes you do so?' for Polly, half tearful! r, was kissing and fondling the child. .- Oh, I do. Amy darling, I do like it very much,' pleaded . poor Polly, 'but only my pet, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed; but John Gil more is coming here this evening to see me, and I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to let us have thU rorm. John Gilmore! Good gracious! Polly Patten' with almost a shriek 'You're not engaged to him? You don't mean that?' . , . 'Y-e es,' faltered Polly. Oh, Amy dear, don't look so distressed!' 'I will look' distressed; I ' have a right to,' cried Amy, with a burst of sobs. 'After all you said!
