TU Luid knjw< what I'd bear for hat;
íd lie tor her, I'd sigh for her;
.W drink the Cyprus dry for ken
I'd watch the honse all day for her;
I'd cune for her, do worse for her;
I'd furnish some one to nurse for hen
I'd leap for her, I'd weep for hen
I'd go without my deep for hen
I'd fight for her, I'd bite for her,
I'd walk the streets all night for hen
I'd plead for her, I'd bided for ber,
I'd ao without my feed for ben
td eho«t for her, I'd boot for her,
A rival who'd eome to toot to hen
I'd kneel for her, I'd steal for her,
loth is the love 1 feel for hen
I'd ride for her, I'd slide for her.
?d swim 'gainst wind and tide for hen
d try for her, I'd cry for her,

WHO iS M\ NEIGHBOR
bbor? If i* lie whom thon
<« r to aid and bless;
WhoM aching heart or burning brow
Thy soothing hand may press,
Thy neighbor ? Tis the fainting poor
Whose eye with want is dim;
Whom hunger sends from doer to doop—
Go thoa and succor him!
Thr neighbor 7 'Tis th.it weary man.
Whose years are at their brim;
Beat low with sickness, cares and paia—-
Go thoa and comfort him!
Thy neighbor? 'Tis she heart bereft
Of evt-ry earthly gem;
Widow and orphan, helpless left—.
Go thou and shelter them!
When'er thou meet'st a human form
Lew favored than thine own,
Ben ember 'tis tby neighbor worm.
Thy brother or thy son.
Oh, pass not, pass not heedless by*
Perhaps -thou canst redeem
Tbraetang heart from misery—
Go, share tby lot with him.
memory's tear.
lie sang fhe same old melody
My father used to sing,
When I. ft eve, rocked on his knea.
In childhood's m¡ rry spring.
Ah! I was light and gleeful then,.
And knew no cure or fear—
That song brought childhood back again
And caiied up meiu'ry's tear.
Then, mother, sitting by his side,
Kept time, with needles bright;
¿ad joined ner soft, sweet voice, to. his—
I see her there to-night!
Bach face, each form, each hallowed spot
Is to my heart still de.irw
And seems to sav, "forged me.not"—.
And calls up memory a tear.
I would not be acbild again.
Oh! no; oh! ne; not I!
And yet 1 lore to think it o'er.
And liv*theda«s gonoly;
The new is be .atiful an4 ' light,
Ana ful of love and cheer;
But let me ti-r the past to-night
Drop memiry's sicreJ tear.
THan sing again that sons fur me!
Touch memory's sounding strings;
Bach note calls up some long lost hoar,
Some sweet abection brings.
Thee sing forme the melody
, My mother loved to hear;
III heart throbs high with faith and hope,
Hy eye drops mem'ry's tear.

Institution heated at Independence,.
Washington county, is again commended
to the attention of the public. Now in the
iwentieth year ofiU existence, it has béen
for tiiteeu years under the management of
the same Principal. It has graduated ten
classes, ana its Alumnia evince the breadth
of instruction, the depth of intellect and.
moral culture, aud the toue and character
of the institution.
For ability, for professional, skill and
moral btnets for the discharge of their

ma from tiiis institution is a passport to
any position as an educator of youth..
Tne discipline is mild, practical and

Two literary papers are unstained by th
pupils, which are submitted to the public

ing scenery. We add to our list of facili-
