Thongh new ihe tearing deep between s lies, Though four tbongbialove to dwell, with eonscioos Upon your giani rivers' whelming tide, - pride, Your old, dim foresti, with their tangled brakes, Yoar wide savanna hi, and jour ocean lakes; And w beans love our warm and somy vales, lucn wnn trie breain at nawtnurn -scented gales, Onr fcafy shades.'and meadow green and ewert, Whert the gay wild-flower press the wanderer's Tho severed thus, by circumstance or will, fttW Dwellers apart, we all are brethren still. How many a village cbnrch Its shadow throws Upon the spot where, mouldering, now repose The bones of many whose dnundntt dwell Severed in home by the wide ocean's swell ! Oar slfcs together trade the rustic fane, Their voices mingled in the village strain ; When home returned fom that time-honorrd spot, Their steps together sought the quiet cot ; And when at eve they pressed Ibeir peaceful beiL On the same couch their youthful heads were lain And now, when on your younff world's liotes we Otpour fret tread y mr father's island home, foam, Seems it not stiangc, in other lands lo hear The sounds that to our infant ears were dear, And do not tho lamiliar accents come Upon our hearts like a sweet welcome home 1 If "all the nations of one blood were made," Framed cac the happiness of all to aid, By glorious interchange of mind and heart, And the rich gills of nature and of art, How close should friendship's holt, tics be twined ' Round those whom nature doth so closely bind ! And tf, sometimes, a thought of jealous pride At rights we deem invaded, or denied, Rise in our hearts oh! let us then repair In fancy to our fathers' graves, and thera, Our bosoms with a noble purpose fraught, hr.j down each worldly aim, each selfish thought, There bid them all, as in tAetr presence, cense, And o'er their dust exchange the ' Branch of Peace.' TURNING A NEW LEAF. TIY ABEL REDTOI 'D;id, I'm goin' to turn over a new Jenf next week,' saiJ Sam Duna, junior, to his parental progenitor, Sam Dana, senior--they wcro boeinjr corn together near tho Du na family domicil, in tho town of Bow. The two Sam Danns looked as near a like as two peas, especially Sam junior; he looked a shade younger otherwise ho might have been Liken for a chip of the old block, block and alL At the sound of tho other's voice, the older Dana, rested his chin on tho end otthe hp handle, And peered at bis stur dy offspring1, fl if douttr ur-ttio- mcautyg ana intent ol the familiar words. Sam, ju nior, immediately fixed his sharp hazel eye on thai of hi dad, and went on : 'Yes, dad, I'm foinff to turn oror a aevr leaf. You're often told mo to do ft. Next week, you know, I'm one-and-twenty, out of my time ; I'm oft. You see dad, I have worked on this patch of land ever since I was born, and I calculate 1 hare been a smart boy haven't I ? .Sam, senior, nodded his bead.) Well, if I always stay here, I shall always be a a smart boy, and nothing else. I want to go round. I want to sec the fashions, I want to speculate, I want to be somebody, I woct to fut the dollars into my pocket ; darn it, dad, want to go it, I'm off I've made up ray mind, no uso to try, nothing can't alter me. I'm going, going, g-o-l-ng, gone! the day my time ts out, I'm g-o-n-c, gone TWbat say yon to that ?" 'Say I say you're a jackass ! t DaJ, I calculate you're mistaken.' Well, perhaps ; you'll ba sure to make one ef yourself, if you aint" cDad, I calculate you'll find yourself mis taken.' lI tell you, Sam, now, that you'll be sorry. I did jnst so when I was out of my time. 1 cleared out from home, and before I had been rone three weeks, I was glad to get back strain, and you'll be In the same predicament in less than a week, or I am 00 judge of horse flesh. 'Dad, Fve heard yott say a thousand times, that everv p-eneTatioo trrowl wiser ; now I calculate I am one generation wiser than you were at my age. f am going no kind of use tn talk agin it' The dialogue closed ; they eyed each other sharply for a moment, the senior Dana rais ed his chio from the end of bis hoe-handle,1 grasped it firmly, and renewed bis labor with the strcnjrth of two men. Sam, junior, fol lowed suit with none tho less of energy in his manner, and side by side they continued at work for an hour without a word being spoken by either, diggin as lor dear life The elder Dana was eridently working him self into a passion : at last he came to a stand still, at the same moment ejaculating a sten torian 'Sam !' Sam came to a full stop, and straightened up with a no less emphatic 'Dad 1' 'What in thunder are you working so hard for V demanded the senior, and at it he went agaio, still harder than before, and liter him went Sana the younger, as hard u ha could dig; and if the dinner-horn bad oot sounded in a moment, they would hav worked them selves out of their boot.
