POETRY. The Happiest Days of Life. I tflked a little pfattling, bright-haired boy, Who scarce had seen the fourth bright siiinmergan Tell me, which arc the happiest days of life? When will the glass of Time most smoothly run? He straightened up his little punv form, As thus he might the tedious distance scan: Imagination paints the glowing scene, While thus he answers, "When I am a man." I asked a youth of manly foon and brow, Just entering on his duty’s dailv rounds— When will thy happiest days of lift* bo told? He said, “Vvlieui have gained a thousand pounds." I asked a toil-worn man of middle age, Who with the world hail struggliif bard and long, The shade of sorrow faded from his brow— He quickly said, "The days when I was young," I asked an aged man, who seemed Just ripe For death’s relentless sickle to destroy; And, looking back though the dull inist of yearn, He answered quickly, "When I was a boy— But there are happier, brighter days," he said; "Beyond this vale of tears a rest is given— Eternal joy and happiness complete Are found by those who rest at last in Heaven." A Ballad. I do not love thee—no, I do not low thee; And yet, when thou art absent 1 am sad, And envy e[en the bright blue sky above thee, Whose bright stars may see thee and be glad. I do not love thee—yet, wlien thou art- gone, I hate the sound, though those who s|»eak be dear, Which bn>aks the lingering arienU, (Betsy’s and mine) slept regularly every Sun day in the same mcetin house, and the nabers used to obsarve:— “How thick the Wards and Feasleys air!” It was a sublime site, in the spring of the year, to see our several mothers (Betsy's and mine), with their gowns pinned up so they couldn't site ’em, effeckshunitly biiiu sope to gether, A ahoosin the nabers. Altho I hankered intensely arter the objeck of my affeckshuns, I darrunt tell her of the fires which was ragin in my manly Buzzum. I’d try to do it, but mv tongue would kerwol lop up agin the roof of my mowth, stick there like death to a deceased AfHkin. or a country postmaster to his oflis, while my heart wiiniiK'-vi tuj IIW Uht’ an UlU-IU^mOlH'U wheat Klale agin a barn flore. Twas a carm still nite in Joon. All natcr was husht and nary zeflbr distorted the screen "ileus. I sot with Betsy Jane on the fense of her father’s pastor. We'd Iteen rotnpin threw the woods, kullin flours A driving the wood chuek from his Nativ Lair (so to speak) with long sticks. Wall we sot thar on the fense a swingin our feet two and fro, blushing as red as the Bald insville skool house when it was fust painted, and lookin very simple, I make no doubt. My left arm was ockepied in ballunsin myself on the fense, while mv right was wounded luv in round her waste. leared out my throat, and tremblingly “Betsy, you air a Gaze He.” I thought that air was putty fine. I waited to see what effcck it would have upon her. It evidently didn’t fetch her, fur she up to tne and said:— “You’re a sheep.” Sez I:— “Betsy. I think murhfy of you.” “I don’t bleeve a word you say—so there, now cumwith which observation she hitch ed away from me. “1 wish thar was winders to my Sole," sed I, “so that you could see some of my feeiiugs. There’s lire enulf in here," sed I, striking my buzzutn with my flst, “to bile all the com beef and turnips in the nabcrhond. Versoovius and the Critter ain’t a sarkinstance I” She bowed her head down, and commend drawin the strings to her sun bonnet I continnered. Sed I:— “Ar, could you know the sleepless nitos I worry through with on your account, how vit tlcs lias seized to be attradiv to me, A how my liuis has shrunk up, you wouldn’t dowt me. Gaze on this wastin form and these air sunken cheeks-” I should have continnered on this stranc Cribly for sum time, but unfortnitly I lost my Huns and fell over into the pastur kcrsmash, tearing my close and severely damagin myself ginerally. Betsy Jane sprung to my assistance in dou ble (juick time, and dragged me 4th. Then drawing herself up to her ftill hite she sed:— “X won’t listen to your noneents no longer. Jes say rite strate out what you’re drivin at If you mean getting hitched, I’m in.” I considered that aireouff for all the practi cal purposes, and we proceeded immcjitly to the parson's, and we was made 1 that very nite. Yours trewly, Autkmas Ward. Modf.l Widow.—She wouldn't wear her veil up on any account Thinks her rnmplexion lairer than ever, in contrast with her sables.— Sends bark her new dres-s because the fold of crape on the skirt isn’t deep mourning enough Steadily refuse* to look in the direction of a dress coat for —one week. Wonders if that handsome Tompkins who passes her window M’nrv tluv is Snaunn 4.. itt -—-—uuit phc will ever marry again! In verv fond of draw ins off her glove and resting her little white hand on her black bonnet, thinking that it may be suggestive of an early application for the same. Concludes to give up housekeeping and tries boarding at a hotel. Accepts Tomp kins's invitation to “attend the children’s con cert,” juft to please little Tommy Tommy is delighted, and thinks Mr. Tompkins is a very kind gentleman to give him so much candy and so many lion-bons. Ufa mamma begins to admit certain little alleviations of her sorrow in the shape of protracted conversations, rides walks, etc. She cries a little when Tommy asks tier if she has not forgotten to plant the flowers iu a certain cemetery. Tompkins comes in and thinks her lovelier than ever smiling through her tears. Tommy fa se nt out into the garden to make “pretty dirt pies” (to the utter demolition of a new frock and tmw sers), and returns very unexpectedly to find his mamma’s cheeks very rosy, and to be tossed up into the nir by Mr. Tompkins, who declare* himself to be his “new, new' pa.”

—A barrister entered the hall with Ids wig verg much awry, of which he was not at all apprized, hut was obliged to endure from al most every observer some remark on its ap !»-*ninoc, till at last, addressing himself to Mr Curran, he asked him: “Do you sec anything ridiculous in this wig?” The answer was, “nothing but the head.” OitioiK or Si.AtiDKit.—Slander originate* in this way: Mother Jasper told ine that she heard Greatwoed’s wife say that John Hard stone’s aunt mentioned to her that Mrs. Lusty was present when the widow Baskinan said that llertall s cousin thought Ensign Doolit tle's Sister believed that old Miss Oxley reck oned that Sam Trixe’s better had told Mrs Spaulding tliat she hoard John Uheunier s wio man say tliat Mrs. Garden had two husbands!” --L. —Perpetual sunshine suits not the state of the natural world; perpetual success fa by no means favorable either to human happiness or virtue*.
