Torn Hood to His Wife. -
Those eyes that were so bright, lo*ve,
Have rew a dimmer shine
But all they-ve lost in light, love,
Was what they gave to miune.
But still thse url. reflect, tore,
'The benut .f forter boer-",
That iieu'.i a11 a.y j""ys. ley love,
And tinted ll uany dlowers !
Those la.skm were brown to ree, love,
That now are turned t" gray,
But the years wore spent with we, love,
That stole their hue away.
Thy locks no longer rhare, lore,
The gulden glow of nom,
but I-ve seen the warmt 1..k f.,ir, my lore,
Whena -iered by the me.-n'
That. aunw wog sath nr.-l fair, uve,
That lnoke are sbaded nnw,
Eut for rue it hIere the care, loIve,
That spoiled a bunny brow.
And though no longer there, lure,
The gluse it ha- of yore,"

Where liope adnmired lefore!

Rla611e wa. eminently known as a good.
natured man, always ready with an open
hand to assi't his fellows. If one of his
tiWm.miitln was in pe-cunitry difficulty,
who but the iaginainous R utile could re
live him, or raiht r would do so ? Like
m-uaiy others who find it hard to use
the word " no," he was som~etimes in

with eonsiderable vehem.nee that he

wo.r a most ferocious expression. An
unoffetding chair, w hich happened to be
in his way, was very unceremoniously
kicked across the room, and then noting
the astonishtient of his wife he quietly
picked it up, tossed his hat upon the ta.
i-Ie. and sealing himstelf, gave vent to the
er..:ilaiation with which we.t have abruptly
opeied our sketch.
" % by, Mr. Rufft,-. what is the mat.

-Matter!" he ejaculated-; and in or.
de-r to give tlho word a proper mphasis
he struck fiercelv at the table. But a,

pented to be within the circuit of the de

-I believe I have Sally; but wh<
would have thought of the hat being ex
aetly in that place ?"
Why, you put it there yourself."
Did 1? Well, I think, I did ; but af
ter all, it is only my luck."
" Your luck is more sinned against that
sinning. Robert. The fact is, if you were
more of a careful man, and le. precipi

After Lorenzo Dow had retired to his

Vestern part of Virginia, a number of
rsons collected in the bar-room to enjoy
heir usual revelry, as was the &ustomi in
