HI UK'S CHANGES. -Around ‘tre Tills the morn of youth ; We fot» moment clay ^Beneath the folds of love and truth, Then Mart o'er life's rough way. -And soon we mingle in the bum Of this world's busy cares ; 'Upon each hand then swiftly come A thousand templing snares. We find it difficult, indeed,' With self-conceit and pride. ~ As we upon our journey speed, To keep by Virtue's side. Full soon are scattered right and left. Our youthful playmates dear ; ■By death of others we’re bereft. For whom we drop a tear. We, like the tinted rose, to-day ■» May in onr beauty bloom; To-morrow fall 'nealh death’s cold swty. And drop into the tomb. Tis thus we live, ’tts thus we die. And in the grave are burl'd, Where, mouldering in the dust, we lie Forgotten by the world.

"Yes, my Jove, such ere the orders,” replied Fred, stooping to kiss her as be buckled on his sword. "And will it be right for me to lock myself in ?” ventured Emily, hesitating as she spoke, "because ’’ "Lack yourself in I why, pray ? be■cause what ?” he asked in astonishment, pausing as he looked foil in her face. "Ciptain Mount was here last evening, and I fear he will come again tonight,” replied Emily, with burning -cheeks, "and I had rather not receive iiis visits unless my husband is here.*’ "Bat, my dear love, what possible diarm was there in the captain’s visit ? • be often drops into the quarters—he used to frequently before onr marriage.

It was early in the antumn, and’ Emily, like a good housewife, had superintended the pickling and preserving for the ensuing' winter. The peaches, red and rich, swam in a sea of sweets—the plans were tacked away in b|oadmoulhed jars, the cranberries and crab-apples were enwegh to make one’s mouth water—and never did pickles look fresher and greener, the cellars under the bouse had compartments, and each officer occupied his own portion, which was always under lock and key. Thither, then to the place set apart by Fred, were these choice swdelraeats carried, and safely deposited on shelves end in nooks. The day after came the captain's orderly with a request for Lie«t.

Old Squire Jock, as be-was familiarly called, was for many years a justice of the peace in our slate, and in addition to issuing warrants and executions, was frequently called upon to perform The marriage ceremony. One bitter col^rinler night about 1 twelve o'clock, he aroused from his sleep by a knock at the door. In no veryamiable, mood he jumped from his warm' bed, and threwing up tho window, called oul, “Who's there ?" "Halloa, squire," was the reply, “qre waul to get married." You're ok*, and now be off with you ” roared the squire ; and bringing down tho window with a crash, he hopped into bed' again. “They are living uitn and wifo to this day," the squire always added when bo told the story.—Illinois Paper.
