That simple duty from grace did lend herâ€" My Doria tender, my Doris true ; Then each hot ember plowed within me, And love did win me to swift reply : “ Ah 1 do but prove me, and none shall blind you, Nor fray, not find you, until I die.” She blushed and started, and stood awaiting, As if debating in dreams divine ; But I did brave themâ€"I told her plainly She doubted vainly ; she must be mine. So we twin-hearted, from all the valley Did chase and rally her nibbling ewes, And homewnd drove them, we two to- gather, Through blooming heather and gleaming dewa. “ They might remember," she answered meekly, “ That lambs are weakly and sheep are wild : But, if they love me, it’s none so fervent ; I am a servant and not a child.” Said I replying : “ If they do miss you, They ought to kiss you when you got home ; And well rewarded by friend and neighbor Should _be the labor from which you come." She whinperod, sighing .- “ There will be sorrow Beyond to morrow, if I lose to-day My fold unguarded, my flock unfolded, I shall be scolded and sent away.” I answered bolder, "Nay, let me hear you, And still be near you, and still adore ; No wolf nor stranger will touch one year- ling.- Ah I stay: my darling, a moment more." And she, my Doris, whose lap incloses Wild summer roses of faint: perfume. The while I sued her, kept hushed, and hark- ened Till shades had darkened from gloss to gloom. She touched my shoulder with fearfulfinger ; She Said : “ We linger : we must: not. stay ; My flock's in danger, my sheep will wander ; Behold them yonderâ€"how fer they stray 2” I sat with Doris, the sheppherd maiden .: Her crook was laden with wreuuhed flowers; I sat and wooed her through sunlight wheel- ing And shtidows stealing for hours and hours. But ah ! my dream is broken by a step upon the stair, And the door is softly opened, and my wife is staniing there, Yet with eagerness and rupture all my vision I resign To meet the living presence of that old sweetheart of mine. WhenI should be her lover forever and a day And she my faithful sweetheart till the golden hair was gray ; And we should be so happy that when either’s lips were dumb They should not: smile in Heaven till the obherls‘kiss had come.

The lamplight seems to glimmer with a flicker of surprise As I turn in low to rest me of the dizzle in my eyes, And I light my pipe in silence, save a sigh that seems to yoke Its fate with my tobacco, and to vanish in the smoke. v '7' 1 design I find the smiling features of an old sweet heart of mine. An Old Sweetheart of Mine. A Pastoral. JAMES Wm'roomn RILEY. The British cable despatches to all the daily papers which receive such. are unani- mous in saying that there is a marked decline in the emigration from British ports to Can ada this season. Some correspondents make the best of it by saying, that though un- deniably inferior in quantity, to is better in quality. This may be true or it: may nob, but tven if true, it does not go very far in the way of comfort for the slow coming of the emigrants who are to fill these broad prairies of ours, away to the North West. The decrease my to some extent at least, be accounted for, by the little less than enormous impetus towards South America, which emigration has recently taken. The Argentine Republic has been especially allurinq with its ofl’ers to emi~ grants, and its liberal policy has been at-l running them by thousands. Canada will have to bide her time a little longer, and take comfort from the thought, that if not astonishingly rapid, her progress is never- theless encouragingly sure. Especially when one reads of them in the same papers which describe the disgraceiul debauchery which turned the Centenary Ball, in New York, into e veritable dance of Satyr-s. Nothing more horribly debasing has been heard of for a long time. Men and women disguised in fine clothes as ladies and gentlemen, got shamefully drunk with the champagne that was so liberally distributed, and behaved themselves more like savages at a. war tenet, than like civilized beings. At the nfxl: Centennial Bail. let; us hope that civiliz-tlon and Christianity will have so far progressed the!) champagne will not: be thought: necessary for an evening's cum joyment. The officers and crew of the steamer which received the passengers and crew of the unfortunate steamer “ Dwmurk,” have been lieuized in hearty style by the cirizens of Baltimore and Philadelphia. Baltimore gave them a banquet, gold medals to the officers, and a silver one to each of the crew. Ceptain Mun-ell also got a silver water pitcher. Philadelphia also gave them medals and he sum 0! 32530. It is things like this that keep alive one's faith in human nature. A discerning writer has said that " civility isto a man what: beauty is to a woman." Without pressing the adage too closely most people, no doubt, will be prepared to admit that as her charms of face and figure often make Way for a woman where her better qualities would fail, so the faculty of being always civil will stand a man in better stead than almost anything else. It does this from its very rarity. Genuine civility is so uncommon a thing that he who has it affects his contemporaries as a new and very pleasant sensation. They immediately be- come on better terms with themselves when in company with such a man, and as a natural consequence, feel drawn to him with quite unusual attractive power. It is hard for them to refuse him anything that he asks of them, and if they must give a refusal they are ashamed to give it in any way but Whatis to some extent at least a reflection of his own civility. So that this personal adornment is its own reward. Civility oils the creaking hinges of life, and often calms the tempestuons waves on the sea of life as well. The man who has it in abundant measure is well equipped for the struggle. Good measure of the same, press- ed down and running over will men he like- ly to pour into his bosom. He has a charm which will open many a door which would otherwise have remained tightly shut. Civility is twin brother to tact, and one who is blessed with these twa good angels. will find his path much smoother than that of abler men who are not so favoured. Civility in the highest de- velopment is doubtless born in men, like poetry or inventive powers, but unlike these, much may be done in the way of cultivating a civil habit of thought, speech and behaviour. The essential groundwork is proper self~respect, on which true respect for other people will be founded. The rule about loving our neighbour as ourself, ii rightly understood and acted on, will issue in the most perfect civility. If people who have ever had experience of the routine work of a newspaper otfice, can be surprised at anything which reveals the eccentric side of human life, they find rea- son for constantly recurring surprise in the number of persons afflicted with the cacoethes scribewii in the way of poetry. For every one who has a passion for writing prose and sending his efl'nsions to the newspaper pub- lisher, there are a dozen who think they can write poetry. and who cover ioolscap and note paper sometimes with ryhme. some- times with reeson. occasionally with neither. The crop of poets is perennial, because no doubt it has its roots in the emotions of the heart which very otten yearn for expression in ways out of proportion to the skill in ex- pression which human heads possess. Hence the production of lines in which a sympathetic reader may catch glimpses of some highly creditable sentiment, but the poor lines limp and nobble along so painfully, with such groaning and gasping, as suggests rheumatism and asthma, and makes one wonder how any author with a particle of ‘kindliness in his nature could be so cruel ‘as to allow the poor things away from the fostering shelter of his own room. It is simply marvellous the widespread desire to shine in the path at poetic expression, and re less marvellous is the blinding power of literary paternity, for how otherwise could some writers persuade themselves that the sorry dcggerel they twist from their busy brains is poetry at all, or worthy of a place in any journal with a character to maintain for literary discrimination. However we have no intention of laughing at laudable literary aspirations. Better that there should be poor poetry by the bushel than that nobody should attempt to write poetry at all. But much would be gained if a few score poets could be persuaded to sport with the coy mass in private for some years, without rushing to the nearest newspaper office with every favour the goddess grants them.â€"Toronto Truth.
