Her name was Mary. I have a passion for the name of Mary. This is a simple song, 'tis true, And songs like this is never nice: And yet we’ll try and scatter through A pinch or two of good advice. Then listen pompous friend and learn Never to boast of much renown; For fortune’s wheel is on the turn, And some go up and some come down. We know a vast- amount of stock A vast amount of pride insures; But fate has pickea-fiso many locks, We wouldn’t like to warrant yours. Remember, then, and never spurn The one whose hand is hard and brown. For he is likely to go up, And you are likely to come down. The other thing you will agree. (The truth may as well he confessed) The “ codfish aristocracy” Is but a scaly thing at best. And though the fish large and strong May seek the little one to drown, Yet fishes all, both great and small,’ Are going up and coming down. Our lives are full of chance and change, And change, you know is never sure; And ’twere a doctrine new and strange, That places high are most secure. And though the fickle gods may smile, And wield the sceptre and the crown, ’Tis only for a little whileâ€" it was a beautiful summer morning, and I had raised the window to admit the breeze from the flower-decked fields, and 1t was not long ere I perceived the cottage Window was also hoisted, and sweet little Mary was sitting busily en gaged with her needle. I worked but little that morning. My eyes constantly wandered toward the cottage where little Mary sitfind all sorts of «étrange, fantas- ‘tic notions wlfifled :tlirough my brain, and I began to think I felt a light touch of What the poet calls love, sliding in at one corner of my heart. 7 Thean. goes up and A. comes down‘ The world for you and me, my friend, Has something more than pounds and pence, Then let me humbly recommend A little use of common sense. Thus lay all pride of place aside, And have a. care on whom you frown ; For fear you’ll eee him going up, When you arefcoming down. Going Up and Coming Down A few days passed away, and chance made me acquainted with Mary. Ohl she was a sweet creature ; had a form that would have shamed the famous De Medieiâ€"â€"a cheek that cuthlushed the richest peach, and lips that would have tempted the bee from its hive on a frosty morning. I thought. as I gazed on her in mute admiration, that I had never looked on one so beautiful. She seemed‘ the embodimentof‘ everything lovely and bewitching. Well the time passed on, and one day Mary expressed a desire to visit the printing ofiiee. “ Good,” thought I“ what a chaneel I’ll have a kiss thereâ€"yes, there, in the very midst of the implements of mine artâ€"why shouldn’t I ‘3” Love in a printing oificel Oh l there was something original in that, and I resolved to try it all hazards. Well Mary came to the ofiice, and I explained to her the various implements of the black artâ€"the press, the roller, the ink, the stands, and the boxes of the 1 A B C’s. I took an opportunity to snatch her little white hand; she drew it back, and knocked a stickful of matâ€" ter into“ pi.” “ I must have a kiss for that, my pretty one,” said I, and at it I went. I managed to get my arm around her waist and in struggling to free herself, she upâ€" set a galley of editorial, a long article on negro suffrage. Nothing daunted, I made at her again This time I was more successful, for I obtained a kiss. By Saint Paul, it was a sweet one, and that witch bore it like a martyr; she never screamed once. But as I raised my lips from hers, she lifted her delicate hand and gave me a box on the ears that made me see more stars than were ever viewed by Herschel Love’s First Impre‘ssion‘ (égmleitrg. through his big telescope. Somewhat I nettled,and my cheek srfiarting with pain, said: back the kiss.” She made a desperate struggle, and as she jerked herself from my arms her foot struck the lye pot and over it went. Another galley of editorials was sprin- kled over the floor, and in her effort to reach the door her foot slipped and she fell, and in her effort to sustain hersell‘ her handâ€"her 1in white handâ€"the same little hand which came in contact With my earsâ€"0111 horrible! was up to the elbow in ink.

I began to be seriously alarmed, and apologised in the best man- ner I could, and to my surprise she seemed more pleased than angry; but there was mischief afloat. As I stood surveying the blank covering of her hand, scarcely able to suppress a laugh at the strange metamorphosis,she quickly raised it on high and brought it down kerslap ’upeu my cheek. Before I could recover from my surprise the little hand again descended, and left its inky imprint upon my other cheek. “Why, Mary,” I exclaimed, “ what are you about ‘3” “I think you rolled ink on the face of the form,” she replied, with a loud laugh, and again her hand lit upon me, taking me a broad slap in the middle of my countenance, most wonderfully be- daubing my eyes. With a light step and a merry peel of laughter she skipped through the door. She turned back when beyond my reach and her roguish face peering through the doorway, she shouted: “I say, Charley, What kind of a roller does my hand make?” “011,” said 1, “You take too much ink'" “ Ha? ha I" gbe laughed, “ well good bye, Charley, that’s my impreSSion I” I went to the glass and surveyed my- self for a moment, and I verily believei ' ., .

Every now and then, amid the non- sense scattered about by the newspapers in the States in reference to Canada, we meet an occasional remark or article which betokcns some measure of com- mon sense and a Willingness to take the facts of, the ease as they really are. About annexation, for instance, our neighbors talk with special wildness and disregard of anything approaching to truth. Whether this is from their not know'gig any better, or because they do not wish to know, we shall not say. If we are to believe these friends, we, poor Canueks, are in a bad way, groaning in Sensible Remarks about Canada. a condition worse than Egyptian bon- t dagc, and longing and praying for the { hour to dawn _when we shall at last 5 breathe the air of freedom under the I silken folds of the Stars and Stripes. Of ( course Canada is virtually a desolation. , Nobody able to get away from it has any 1 Wish or inducement to remain. It is a 1 Britain-cursed, priest‘ridden, God-for- , saken country, that never will come to j anything till the American eagle takes ' ‘it in hand; when, no doubt, it Will re- vive, and may be made something of. Amid all this trivial nousense and syste- matic falsehood-manufacturing, it is refreshing to come across so candid and withal so sensible remarks as the followâ€" ing, which we clip from the Erie Gazette, of Thursday last. Our contemporary proposes to tell its readers what “ Canada does not want,” and fulfils its promise in the following fashion :â€" “The journals of this country have been prone to represent the people of . Canada as greatly desirous of freedom from England and of annexation to the United States. Our people, too, are all very ready to accept these statements as facts. The whole idea, however, is a mistake. The citizens of this country hare been thoroughly humbugged in reâ€" 9 gard to the matter. There is no such :1 desire on the part of the Canadians. We venture to assert that not one in ten of Canada would prefer such a change of Government. The lengthy reports of enthusiastic annexation meetings, loud demonstrations in favor of fredom, &e., that have occupied whole columns of our newspapers, are for the most part fabrications. But» very few such meet- ings have ever been held, and such as did take place were composed almost en- tirely of discontented representatives from our own country, residing in the Dominion; or parties of tourists from the United States, who make it their duty to hold an annexation meeting as soon as they cross the Canadian border. If the party be a large one, there is perhaps a correspondent to one or more newspapers among them, and from this source emanate the glowing accounts of the Canadian enthusiasm for annexation. “ The people of Canada do not desire to be freed from the ‘yoke of Great Britain,’ on the contrary they quite pre- fer to be joined to England as part and parcel of the British Empire. They hold themselves to be a part of the En- l glish people, and such they wish to be. They glory in English history, and feel that it is theirs. England is far more willing to leave Canada to govern herself or to be annexed to the United States than she herself is to be thus cast oil". {The Canadians feel that of themselves they are weak; but with England to back them they are strong. “ Other considerations also make them prefer to remain under the present Gov-‘ ernment. Their taxes at present .arel much lighter than they would.be were Canada a part of the United States, the public debt is much smaller in propor- tion to the population of the country, and the form of government the major- ity of them greatly prefer. They are free. There is no position under the Englsh Government to which a. British isubjeet may not aspire, save that of the lQueeen's seat. The restrictions upon the ballot are but light and very proper, and by their present form of Govern- ment the people of Canada. avoid much of that political intriguer whichjs thg ideas of what *the Canadians désire, Canada does not want annexation, and it is high time that both-the citizens and the journals of this country came to a true understanding of the fact.” These are sensible and truthful words, l and if such were oftener heard and read on the other side of the lines it would be better for both countries. Our cous- ins may be perfectly sure that when we want annexation we shall say so, and that in quite an unmistakable fashion. In the meantime, it is a fact patent to every one who likes to keep his eyes and 1ears open that annexation to the States was never at a greater discount in Cana- da than it is at this moment. The theology. of these temples sug- gests difficulties to some. While we lay at Thebes day after day, exploring its ruins, we formed the acquaintance of a young American who had taken up his quarters there for the purpose of facili- tating his preparation, as he said of a dictionary of hieroglyphies. He spent, several evenings With us, and took great delight 1n advocating the theory that the religion of the Israelites was but a slavish copy, down to the very con- struction of their sacred edifices, of the1 religion of the Egyptians, and that Moses ‘ claimed Divine authority for the copy he stole, just the better thereby to overawe the turbulent slaves he, for ambitious purposes, led away from the service of their masters. In support of this theory he advanced several very striking,r resem. blanccs between What he read on the stones of the temples, and what he read in the pages of the Bible. In contend- ing against this theory I labored under the disadvantage of not knowinges he did, what was on one of the two docu- ments under comparison. I knew what the Bible said on the Mosaic religion and ritual, but did not know fully what the temples of Rameses said in regard to the religion and ritual of the Egypâ€" tians. I found it, thereiore, wisest to grant the resemblance to the very utmost limits he choose to push it, always ex- _cepting, however, the matter of theism and idolatry, in which the two religions are diametrically opposed. The quest tion between us, then, stood thus :â€" “Granting the resemblance. how shall it be accounted for ‘1’” He accounted for it by a theory that made Moses an impostor, whereas it might be accounted Egypt and Israel. \vi. Teefy, for far more satisfactorily by a theory, that left intact the truthfulness of the. records and agents on both sides. The truth indeed seems to be this,â€"-that God. vouchsafed to Adam and to Noah special; revelations as to His own character and worship, which is the true religion, Muoh of this true religion was carried into Egypt by the founders'ot that king: dom. Gradually, howerer, as is always, the case when mania left to the guidance of his own instincts in matters of reli- gion, the truth becomes obscured-my error. The revelation God bmade to Moses, therefore, was not. a promulgation, as for the first time, of the true religion,: but a renewal, a restoration of what was£ formerly known, and which the corrupt, tendencies of man had sadly efi'aced. It,» , is therefore what might be expected, and, what is in keeping with God’s wayshthat , what was foreign extraneous, had, in the, religion of the Egyptians,viz., polytheism , snould be discarded, and that what was, good and of divine origin should be re- tained, cleansed and delivered ,with a.- fresh sanction of Divine authority, of such a nature as would defend it from; being trifled with by men again. The” religion of Moses was an enlargement. and purification of the patriarchal reli- , gion, as the religion of Christ was, ,ani, enlargement and purification of the reli- gion of Moses. So radical, however, were the changes effected in both eases,’ and so opposed to the tendencies of many: that they received an adequate explana- , tion only in the fact of A their”, Divine authority. The Egyptian temple may, : with its outer courts and holy place, be, t in form what solomon’s temple was after- , - wards, and on the walls of the Egyptian. temples maybe seen altars of sacrifice - and incense, an ark carried on the shoul- ders of the priests, and religons instru-: ments similar to those employed in Jew- ish worship; but these were only the ac- cidents of worshipâ€"in essentials the two religions were as wide apart as is Chris- tianity and Paganism, Protestantism and Mahometanism.

There are, of course, many exceptions familiar to” us‘all. Henry Ward Beecher well ox- pleses this sentiment as follows :â€" '. 1 "Men seemed ashamed of labor, and often, you shall find men who have made themselves respected in labor, have built up a business and amassed a fortune, who turn to their sons and say: ‘ You" shall never do as I did; you shall lead a different life; you shall be spared all this.’ Oh! these rich men’s sonsl They 'aim to lead a life of elegant leis- ure; and that is a life of emasculated" idleness and laziness. Like the polyp" that floats useless and nasty upon the" sea, all jelly, all flabby, no muscle, no” boneâ€"~it shuts and opens, and opens ané' shuts,and sucks in and squirts out again,“ of no earthly account, influence, or uses." Such are these poor fools. Their pa? rents toiled and grew strong, built up their frames of iron and bone; but de? nying all this to their sons, they turn' them upon the world, boneless,museleles,_’ simple gristle, and soft at that.” Wit is sometimes worth money, but” then it is quite essential to have a. good- natured customer to deal with :â€" When Allen Ramsay, a wen-known” Scotch poet, began life, he was sopoof that he could not meet his first half! year’s i'ent. After it beeame‘ dfie he met his landlord: and explained his cirâ€"' cumstances, and expressed his distress at his failure to meet his obligations; The jolly landlord was quite kind to him; and said that he was a lad of some genius and he would therefore give him" a chance to cancel his debt without pay ing a. shilling. “ If," said the creditor: “ you’ll give me a rhyming afisWer to" four questions in as many minu‘teex I’ll quit; you the rent altogether.” Allen" said he would try. The questious were. “ What does God love ? What does the devil love? What does the world love ?: gWhat do I love?” Ramsay wrote :â€"- God loves man when he refrains from sin, The devil loves man when he perists there- in - The world, lcvas man when'rlches on him flow And you’d love me could I pay you what '3: owe.
