Heaven. .
Oh! Heaven is nearer than mortals think,
When they look with a trembling dread
At the misty future that stretchos on
From the silent home of the dead.
'Tis no lone isle in a boundles m.ain,
No brilliant but distant shore,
Where the lovely ones who are called away
Must go to return no more.
No. Jlearen ;e near us; the mighty veil
Of mortality blinds the eye :
That we sea not the hovering angel bends
O.n the shores of eternity.
Yet, oft in the hours of holy thought
To the tbir~ating soul is giveu
The power to pierce through the mist of sense
To the beauteous scenes of Heaven.
There, very near seem its pearly gates,
And sweetly its harpings fall,
'Till the soul is restless to soar away,
And longs for the angel call.
I know when the silver cord is loosed
When the veil is rent away
Not long and dark shall the passage be
To the realms of endless day.
The eye that shuts in a dying hour
Will open the next in liss,
The welcone will sound! in a heavenly world
Ere. the farewell is hushed in this. j
W-. pass from the clasp of mourful friends,
To the arms of lo.ved and lost,
And those smiling faces will greet us there, t
Which on earth we valued nost.
What the Womten Say.

3r. .anlard :-There are few of us who
have nut read Judge Longstreet's inimitable
" Georgia Scenes." Do you remember among !
those sketches, " The Turning Out," where
in he - dcscrib.es a school rebellion ? The
scholars wanted an Easter holiday, as u.:al s
and the master. as usual, in duty bound, re.
fused. The bo.ys resolve to turn him out of- a
thr cadeyt" by force. The eventful day u
has arrived. The boys have scores of ergs a
laid up for Easter egg-pecking. They have
f5rtilied the old field school-Louse and are e
arrayed inside with sticL-s and poeses, await
ing the raster's arrival. The girls of the
s:itool do not engage actively in the struggle, h
but they stand aside under the trees, and en- ti
courage the boys with .ucli remarks a-, "I .t
wouldn't tyire the master nut-but if I did,
l'd die before I'd give up." The boys are j h
full of tire, and breathing out threatenings lc
and slaughter when the master comew up. Ile K
affects great astonishment at their temerity,
and summonscs them to surrender, but ik an- c1
swered by shouts of defiance. In the course
of the siege, however, the master make. I a

away under certain logs, or in hollow stumps
and holes arotnd the school~house. Ile pas. a
aesses himself of these contral.anls if war, ti
and threatens to make a general sma h of ni
the garrison's provisions. The smuall boys are e
struck with secret consternation, and in the t
toitmentary dismay, Zeph Pettibone is heard u
ti cry out, "Lod o'messy, he's got ..:y eg !
---boys, let's give up.'
Mr. Standard, I wish to inquire if you know c
of any Zepih Pettibones among us in our na- b
