CHILDHOOD,
Dear childhood banutifil ohildhood!
Swost em of delight,
Coy vubler through the wildwood
With green leaves glancing bright; Fair strayer on the pebbled shora When rolls the sunlight roa,
Glo day dreams I can share no moro
Bid childhood's glamouric.
Then the teair-roso was may neoptre,'
My theone the lemony fill,
And I quaffed the flashing nectar From the violet-bordered rill; "The song-biede ware my trumputers
That sang on dry trek, Arid ny udes ware the daisice! That dappled the grèm loai »y My banners were the golden-beame
That herald forth the dawn;
My jewele work the dow that gleams
Like pearls on the lawn.
My altar was the martyr's stone
Far from the beaten rond Where oft I'vu posti'd' unheard alone
An artless prayer to cli
I knew not of the proud nid great
That throng'd the mideight ball,
-Nor of the crafty plots of State
That keep mankind in thrall
I loved the singing of the bird,
The humming of the bee-
What joyful thoughts within me stirr'd
At nature's minstrelsy,
Childhood's a bright, a gloricua druam
A type of higher life,
That gilds out lot with many a bann
*atid real or fancied strife,
And cheers the heart of manhood's primo
When reetlows follies raga, And lightalh up with raya sublime
The glazing eye of age.

AN AFFECTIONATE CAT. The cat bad some kittens, and one of them was taken ill, and appareatly in a dying state. The mother did all that she could for it, and then, finding all her offorts useless, brought the sick kitten to her mistress, laid Fit in her lap, and left it in her cure. Tha lady accepted the charge, nursed the kitten through its illoss, and a lite restore to
