I O O I E "I love to live," said a prattling boy, As hegaily played withhis new bought toy And a merry laugh went echoing forth From a bosom filled with joyous mirth. "I love to live," said a stripling bold— "I will seek for fame- I will toil for gold." And he formed at his pleasure many a plan To be carriedout when he grew a man. "I love to live," said a lover true, 'Oh, gentle maid I would liveforyou 11 have labored ^*earoa of time— I have found it but an empty name." "I love to live," said a happy sire, As his children neared the winter fire For his heart was cheered to see theirjoy, and he almost wished himself a boy. "Hove to live," said an aged man Whose hour of life was well nigh ran— Think you such words from him were mild, The old man was again a child. And ever'thus in [this fallen world Isthe banner of hope to the breeze unfurled And only with hope oflife on high, Can a mortal ever love to die. I LIVE TO LOVE* •'I live to love," said a laughing girl, As she playfully tossed each flaxen curl And as she climbed on her loving father's knee, And snatched a kiss in her innocent glee. "I live to love," said a maiden fair, As she twined a wreath of her sister's hair They were bound by cords of love together And death alone could these sisters sever. I live to love," said a gay young bride Her loved one standing by her side, Her life told again what her lips hudspoken, And never was the link of affection broken. "I live to love," said a mother kind— "I would live a guide to the infant mind," Her precepts and example given, Guided her children home to heaven. "Ishallivc to love," said a fading form, And her eye was bright and her cheek was warm As she thought of the blessed world on high, She would live to love and never die. And ever thus in this lower world, Should the banner of love be wide unfurled, An we.meeJUn the world aho\e, Ma we love to live and live to love. a as City a it The following is an extract from a letter from a Gentleman late of this) City, dated at Kansas City, Missouri, Nov. -20, 1S57: monetary affairs and business derange ments in tho East.

I tuk a seat on the steps ove the pulpit, tu prove I wur in yearnest.— Ther wer a monstrous crowd in that grove, an ole Bullin wur a preach ill tu 'cm at an orful rate—how the Hell Sarpints wud sarve 'cm if they how they'd crawl over didn't repent 'em, rat) thar tails roun thar necks, of the Republic. It is to be hoped tied my poke an put the mouth up un-and der his britches leg, an r'm ther tails a sqneese an a shake, when they all tuk up his brtr leg, making ove a noise like squirrille a climbin a shell bark hieko /^vx? -, of TENN. ry.

Off went the claw-hammer coat, an he flung hit ahind him like he wur gwine inter a lite, (he had no jaekit on.) Nex he fotch his shut over his hed faster nur got ontcn my pasted one, an he flung hit up in the air like he didn't care a dnrn if hit kept np forever, but Hit lodged onto a black jack. I seed one ove my lizards a ra'ein about over the big dirty lookin shut, skarcd like the devil. Then he gin a sorter shake an a twist, and he come outen..his.britc}ies an he tuk him by the bottom ove the legs an swuug 'em roun' his hed a few times an then fotch 'em down cheral lup over the front ove the pulpit.

Now old Bullin had nuthin left on him but a par' ove hevy low quartered shoes, short woolin socks, an ell skin gaiters tu keep off the cramp, an his skare wur a growiri on him iast. II wur plum crazy, fur he jist spit in his hands an leaped over the fiunt ove the pulpit rite inter the middle ove piu? part ove the kongregation, kerdiff! an sot in tu gettin away. He run, or rath or went in aluinberin gallop, hevy, like an ole waggin hoss shared at a locomo tive. When he jumped he shook the yeartli an his sef tu. The bunnits an fans dared the way, an he hed a pur fcctly far track tu the, woods. He weighed nigh onto three hundred hed a black stripe down his back like onto an old bridil rein, an his belly looked about the size and culler ove a big beef paunch, an hit a shakin from side tu side.
