IRISH SONG.

Oh! the Spring's delight

Is the cowslip bright,

As she laughs to the warblin' linnet;

And a whistin! thrush

On a white Maybush,

And his mate in the neat widín it.

Summer she shows

Her rose, her rose!

And oh all the happy night long The nightingale wood her; At dawn the ldrk suce her,

Wid the arystal surprise of his song.

King Autumn's crown

Is the barley brown,

Rod over wid rosy fruit ;

And the yallow treca,

As they sigh in the breeze,

Are the strings of his solemn lute.

Ould Winter's breath

Is cowld as Death,

Wirra lonesome be's last the earth;

Tet the thrush he sings And the rose ahe springs From the flame of his fairy bearth. -The Author of " Songe of Killarney,"

HOW THE FARMER MISSED IT. If I had told her in the spring Tho old, old, story briefly, When sparrow and robin began to sing, And the ploughing was over, chiefly!

But haste makes waste, and the story sweet, I reasoned, will keep through the sowing, Till I drop the corn, and plant the wheat,

And give them a chance for growing.

Had I even told the tale in June,

When the wind through the grass was

blowing,

Instead of thinking it rather too sOOD,-- And waiting till after the mowing I

Or had I hinted, out under the stars,

That I knew a story worth hearing, Lingering to put up the pasture bars,

Nor waited to do the shearing!

Now the barn is full, and so is the bin, But I've grown wise without glory, Bince love is the arop not gathered in-

For my neighbor told her the story. 8. F. Bulletin.

BIBLE CONFESSION, (Burlington Hawkeys.)

It was very late Saturday night when Bosbyseboll came homer it was very nearly Sunday morning. He did not some in the usual way. He did not open the gate--he climbed over it, although there was no parent reason why he should get into the yard in that way. And he climbed on the gate with an affectation of great stealth and with a reality of great diffoulty,

He slammed himself up against the gate with great violence and a terrific crash, and alosed one eye and looked around him at the midnight solitude and said “shi” several times.

1ben he clambered to the top of the gate and kloked against it with his feet as he scrambled up and made such a racket that every dog on South-hill woke and began Bosbyschell, balancing himself on the top of
