AFFLICTION. BY n. F. c. V hy mourn t hat we have sorrows? Why weep when called to bear? They all will flee to morrow. And we can laugh at care. God sends these sorrows on us, That we may learn to thread Life’s nigged path with firmness. And with a dauntless tread. These trials stand as step stones To those thatjieek for fame; Without them all earths glory Would only be a name. Those acts of vast achievement, In battle’s tierce turmoil. Arc counted by the treasure lost— Are measur’d by the toil. Yon book with beauties glowing, And teeming o'er with joy, The flowers of thought and feeling. That time cannot destroy. Oh, who can tell the labor • 1 In deepest hours of night, By the candle’s sickly glaring, It cost that soul to write! Without them what were virtue? A dlul unmeaning thing, Whose possession could no pleasure To the weary bosom bring. ’Tis only by hard toiling, That mortals can be blest; ’Tis only when at labor, The soul can truly rest. Then why weep o’er afflicti >n«, And yield up to their sway? Rise up and boldly meet them, And they will flee away. Av, trust these very sorrows That you so much deplore, Will prove to yon a lasting gain When all life’s ills are o’er. ‘SO TIRED!’ 1 BY MARY W. STANLEY GIBSON. • Weary of life? ah, no—but of life's woe; Weary of all its troubles and its cares! IV tiling to rest—because so we!) I know What draughts the hand of Passion still . prepares! ■So tired!’ A little child came panting in from .play, the other night, and climbing into, its mothers lap, laid its head upon her! bosom, and uttered those two words. I saw the fond young mother brush the gulden hair from the darling’s moist fore- ; head, and press her lips again nr I again to the flushed cheeks. The shadows of evening were falling fast around us, nn 1 1 the birds had already sung themselves to ; sleep. Little shoes and stocking were drawn off and laid aside—little weary i feet, bathed and cooled—a little night' dress took the place of the pretty blue ' stock and white apron, and the boy was ; quiet. With asigh of satisfaction he nest- ' led closer in her arms ;his blue eyes closed, and her cradle-’Song grew Jower and lower 1 ns his breath came longer and m re reg- j ularly through his parted lips. Happy sleep of childhood! She rose and went softly to her own room, to lay him in his little erib, and I was left alone. Heaven knows what memory of a. time when 1, too, was cradled upon a loving breast—when the dead mother , face 1 cannot remember, sung so to me la the twilight--came over me as 1 took up the infant’s cry. ■So tired!’ A man of business—a man whose name is a bond on AV all street. Why sho'uld he lean his head upon his hand, and sigh as the words fall from his bps? Tired of Ids gay and busy life, of his elegant home his fair daughters, and his fashionable wife? Tired of all these, and longin ’- foi the little red farm-house up among the hills of his of his native home, where he used to play, a bare-footed, light-hearted . boy? Even so, strange as it may seem! I Yet not so much for the farm-house, as for the happiness and innocence that staid behind with it, and which he can never hope to find in his du. ‘j office, or his' splendid home. ■So tired.’ She has been a loving wife and an indulgent mother. Six strong sons lias she reared beside that cottage hearth, but the grave has claimed them all but two, and those the world has taken. The husband of her youth died long ago: and to day, her sixtieth birth-day, she sijs alone in the deserted homestead. To her boys she is 'the old woman,’ to their brilliant wives ‘a good old thing, but so oldfashioned;’ to their homesand their children almost a stranger. Her tears fall as (ho thinks ofthern in the distant city, gay, prosperous wealthy and happy yet not remembering lief, on this day, even by a line, to say, 'Dear mother 1 love you.’— This is her reward for years of toil, and rare, and anxiety. She has outlived her generation, and when she dies, she will hardly be missed by those to whom she ha- given health and strength, and life itfell, Poor loiirlv old woman! Will

may the bitter tears fall fast—well may you long to die! Fur this is often the return for love and devotion that have outwatched the stars, and seen the moon 'grow pale! ‘So tired!’

j Yes, turn from the brilliant crowd that I listen eagerly for every word you utter, ; fair songstress, and heed what your heart is saying. Words of fire may fall from I your rapid pen—your own wild sou! may stamp its impress upon the page before ; you—the world may place the crown of ' laut al upon your bowed head—but it will be a diadem of thorns. In the height of triumph—in the fever of success—there ! will come a sudden pause, and the iron ! will enter your soul as you remember ! that one v lice is silent, and one face still j

calm and cold. Fame, wealth, success—oh! what are these to happiness? Vanity—vanity all, and ‘vexation of spini, and you bow your head and weep to think that it should be so! Oh! little child ,not yet released from thy mothers care, it would be better for thee to sink into the tranquil sleep of death, within the shelter of her arms, than to tread the path which we are treading! There are sharp thorns hidden among the fairest flowers—there are treacherous' quicksands in the sweetest valleys. God help thee, boy, for only a band from heaven can lead thee safely there. The golden hair will turn to silver, it may be, and the blue eyes will wear an anxious look before the painful journey is half done, and evil shapes will mock and mutter when thy heart faileth thee, and thy steps are faint. ‘So tired!’ , My boy, cling closer to thy mother’s breast! Royal I Aneedote. AsJoseph II , Emperor of Austria, was driving his one-horse cabriolet, dressed in the gard of a private citizen, he was accosted by a soldier, who mistaking him for a man of the middle class, requested a seat in the vehicle. •Willingly,’ replied the Emperor; ‘jump in, comrade, for I’m in a hurry.’ The soldier was soon seated along side of the Emperor, and became very loquacious. 'Come Comrade,’ said he, slapping the Emperor familiarly on the back, ’are you good at guessing?’ ‘Perhaps 1 am,’ said Joseph, ‘try me.’ ‘Well, then, ray boy, conjure up your wits, and tell me what 1 had for breakfast!’ ‘Sour-krout!’ •Come, none of that, comrade, try it again.’ ‘Perhaps a Westphalia ham,’ replied the Emperor, willing to humor his companion. ‘Better than that,’ exclaimed the soldier. ‘.Sausages from Bologna, and Hockliiemer from the Rhine,’ ‘Better than that—d’ye give it up?’ ‘I do.’ ‘Open your eyes and ears, then,' said the soldier, bluntly. ‘1 had a pheasant, by Jove, shot in the Emperor Joe’s park, ha, ha!’ Whi n the exultation of the soldier had subsided, Joseph said quietly: ‘1 want to try your skill in guessing, comrade see if you can name the rank 1 hold ’ . 'You’r a—no —hang it! you’re not smart enough for a cornet.’ ‘Better than that,’ said the Emperor. ‘A lieutenant?’ i ‘Better than that,.’ ‘A captain?’ •Better than that.’ ‘A major?’ ‘Better than that.’ I 'A general?' ‘Better than that.’

The soldiar whs now fe-.trftilly agitated; he doffed iiis hat, and sat bare-headed; he could scarcely articulate. ‘Pardon me, your excellency, you are field marshal ?' ‘Betti r than that,’ replied Joseph. ' 'Lord help me,’ cried the soldier, you’re the Emperor?’ He threw himself out of the cabriolet, and knelt for pardon in the mud. ’The circumstances were not forgotten by either; the Emperor often laughed over it, and the soldier received a mark of favor ’ which he could not forget. Pompey said he once worked for a man who raised hts wages so high that he could only reach them once tn two years. re— — ‘A penny for your thoughts,’ said a gentleman to a pelt beauty. ‘They are not worth a farthing, ‘it,’ !i< replied, ‘J w i; thiukittg -."1.'
