She Corner. A LOVE LYRIC. I miss her at the break of day, And muse upon her name; In all my moods, or grave or gay, 1 miss her just the same, And when at dusk the zephyr light Breathes o’er the rippling air, I wonder ]one through the night, And yet she is not there. I think of her. and wonder much With whom she now may be; The memory of her tone and touch Alone remains to me. Another sits beside her now, Another hears her sighs— Toys with the ringlets on her brow, And gazes in her eyes. Say, shall I groan beneath my grief? Tell me, shall I repine? Sink to the sere and yellow leaf— Since she's no longer mine? Good gracious! nothing of the kind; I miss her, it is true; I miss her, certainly—but mind, I’m precious glad I do! Wit, WMwa, -A negro announces himself as j a candidate for Congress in Geor-/ gin, declares that, if elected, “I will do all I can to ameliorate the condition of the white.” -“I say, Jones, how is it that your wife dres«es so magnificently, and you always appear out nt the elbows ?” “You see, Thompson my wife dresses according to the Gazette of Fashion, and I dress according to my ledger.” -A landsman once said to a sailor, “Where did your father die ?” The sailor replied, “On the sea,” “Where did your grandfather die ?” “On the sea.” “Well, are you not .afraid to follow the sea as your business, seeing that it has proved so fatal to your ancestors?”— “Well,” said the sailor, “and where did your father die?” “In his bed.” “And where did your grandfather die ?” “In his bed.” “Astonishing ! and are you not afraid to go to bed, seeing it has proved so fatal to your forefathers ?” The wisdom of this world may see force in these questions. PirovEKBS.—A good tale is often marred in telling. Diligence makes all things appear easy. A man may live upon but little, but he cannot live upon nothing at all.— Patience is a bitter seed; but it yields sweet fruit. The longest

life must have an end. A man of gladness, seldom falls into madness. A whetstone can't itself cut, yet it makes tools cut. Every one’s faults are not written in their foreheads. Fire and water are excellent servants but bad masters. Regard the interest of others, as well your own. Good counsel has HQ price. A band of Indians made a sudden attack on a detachment of our soldiers in the mountains, recently. The soldiers had a loaded mountaiii howizer mounted on a mule. Not having time to take it off and

put it in position, they backed up the mule and let it drive at the Indians. The load was so heavy that the mule and all went tumbling down the hill toward the savages, who, not understanding that kind of warfare, fled like deers.— Afterward one of them was captured, and when asked why he ran so, replied: “Me big Injun, not afraid of little guns or big guns, but when white man load up and fire a whole jackass at Injun, me don’t know what to do.” A Faithful Dog.—A surgeon at Netley, England, recently took a long walk in the neighborhood of Southampton, accompanied by his dog, a fine Newfoundland.— In the evening he missed some letters from his coat pocket and his dog. The latter did not surprise him, as his dog often wandered from him in his walks. The next day, annoyed and puzzled at the loss of his letters, he thought it possible he might have drawn them out of his pocket with his handkerchief during his previous day’s walk. He resolved, therefore, to repeat the walk, for he might have dropped the letters in an unfrequented path. About four miles from the hospital he came suddenly upon his dog lying on the ground, with the letters close by. The dog had laid by the side of the letters for sixteen hours. It has been re christened “PostmasterGeneral.”
