IV FINLEY JOHNSON,
\V'‘ r!.1 iot know how much we love
_ Until we come to part;
How strong th,' tendrils are that hind
f h object to the heart.
Ifr1 tree, beneath whose branches we
In infancy have strayed !
i He (lowers—the friends of early youth,
With-whom we oft have ptayel.
Are things o’er which we mourn and gri
In pleasure and in pain,
As memory brings them hack to us
From out the past again.
We linger still amidst the scenes
That we have loved so well;
While recollections fond and pure
Within our bosoms swell;
Anil to their shadows still we cling,
E’en while they do depart ;
For memories that we thought were hid
Cn-ne crowding bn the heart;
And though the star of hope may shed
Its,beams upon our way ;
let Farewell is a bitter word
For those who love to sav*

The Love of Fame.—The love
fame is the strongest desiie of the liuma
:oui. Wealth, fortune, happiness, ua
life itself are sacrific'd to leave a naive o
the perishable record of time. For tbi
the pale student bends o’er the pages c
classic lore, until the last midnight tape
is, extinguished. Fame, like a beam c
light, lures him onward. His pale chcel
glows with pride, while he dreams thv
ere long his voice will be beard in <h(
Senate. Already he sees the lofty'one:
of earth bowing before him, anti Iks proud
name extending like the receding waves
till in other climes it is known and hon
ored.
The gifted son of geni s fills pages
with his fanciful dreams, hoping one day
to equal the master odets ; but perhaps ere
lie has reached the eminence for which he
sighed, he falls by the shaft of the De
stroyer. Instead of being registered
among the great, be passes into oblivion,
and his name is foigotten by the world.—
[China.
--*-<!>♦
Immortality.—In the beautiful drama
of Ion, the instinct of immortality, so elo
quently uttered by the death-devoted
Greek, finds a deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield bis
young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his
beloved Clemanthe asks if they 3hall meet
again, to which lie replies : “I have asked
that dreadful question of the hills, that
look eternal—of the flowing streams that
lucid flow forever—of the stars, amid
whose fields of azure my raised spirit lias
trod in glory; all were dumb, but now, as
I thus gaze upon thy living face, and see
the love that mantles through its beauty,
i leel Hint we can never wholly perish.—
We shall meet again, Clemanlha.”
--
How to Become a Goon Horseman.—
A knowing writer on this subject, in lay
ing down rules for riding on horseback,
gives the following advice :—‘Keep your
bead up, chin down, chest forward, should
ers back, elbows in, hands down, back in,
feel forward, thighs fixed, knees in, loins
loose, seat firm, hands light, horse and ri
der well balanced, trot two hours’ every
day without stirrups, and then time and
perseverance may make a good horse
man.”
-Hie man oacc accused goes forth into
society never the same as before; he keeps his
position—he practises his profession—his
friends know him to be true and honest—but
for years after the oblivious world.remember
ing only the accusation, ami forgetting the
fullness of the refutation, asks, “But were
there not some suspicious circumstances ?”
-If an ugly woman is beloved, the pas
sion is a desperate one ; for it must arise from
a strange weakness or infatuation on the part
of the lover, or from charms more secret and
more invincible than those of beauty.
