THE QUIET SLUMBER.
Lay him gently to hi* rest—
Fold hi* pale band* on his breast;
From his brow—
Oh 1 how cold and mai tde fair—
Softly part the tangled hair:
Look upon him now 1
As a weary child he lie*.
With the quiet, dreamless eyes,
O’er which the lashes darkly sweep,
And on his lip the quiet smile—
The soul’s adieu to earthly strife,
And on his face the deep repose
We never saw In life.
Psaceful be bis rest and deep i
Let him sleep.
No tears for him—he needs them not:
Along life’s drear and toilsome road,
Firmly hi* manly footsteps trode,
Striving to bear its weary lot,
With such a pride upon his brow,
With such a pain within his heart,
The firmness of the manly will
Veiling the secret smart—
Oh) it is well the strife is o'er,
That thus so peacefully he lies,
Unheeding now the bitter words,
The cold, unpitying eyes.
Fold his mantle o’er his breast—
Peaceful be his sleep and blest:
Let him rest.
No stgh to breathe above his bier,
No tear to stain the marble brow—
Only with tender, pitying love,
Ouly with faith that looks above,
We gaze upon hirn now.
No thought of toil and suffering past;
But joy to think the task is done,
The heavy cross at last laid down,
The crown of glory won.
Oh! bear him geutly to his rest—
Oh I gently heap the flowery sod;
And leave hu body to the dust,
His spirit to bis God.
Latest Habd-such. Story. — Atrav.
eler called at nightfall at a fanner’s house;
the owner being from home, and the
mother and daughter being alone, they
.•fused to Itxige the wayfarer. ‘How far,
then,’ said he, ‘toa house where a preach
er can stop I’ * If you are a preacher.’
said the old lady, * you can stop here.’
Accordingly he dismounted. He deposit
ed his saddle-bag* in the house, and led
his horse to the stable. Meanwhile, the
mother and daughter were debating the
point as to what kind of a preacher he
was. ‘ He cannot be a Presbyterian.’
said one ‘for he ts not dressed well enough.’
‘He is not a Methodist,’ said the other,
‘for his coat is not the right cut for a Meth
odist.’ ‘If I could find bis hymn book,’
said the daughter, ‘I could tell what sort
of a preacher he is.’ And with that she
thrust her bands into the saddte-bags, and
pulling out a flask of liquor, she exclaimed,
‘La! mother, he’s a Hard-shell Baptist!’
Kid Gloves.—At one of the courts in
Canada, the judge was recently presented
with a pair of white kid gloves, instead of
the usual calender of prisoners. This was
done in accordance with an old English
custom, which requires the sheriff to pre
sent a pair of gloves to the judge, when
there are no prisoners for trial. It is sel
dom that judges are lucky enough to ob
tain gloves in that pleasant way.
A Retort.—“I shall not discuss poli
tics with uiy opponent before the court,”
said a counsellor; “but i am jortectly
wilting to argue questions of law, ,o chop
lofic, ck even to split hairs with him.”
“ Split that theu." replied bis adversary,
pqlling out a short, rough looking hair
from his own head, and handing it toward
the speaker.
“ May it please the honorable court,"
retorted he, “I did not say bristles.”
