answered "he didn't exactly know—when
he got on that branch, of the subject he geuer-

'That'll never do; I've got to make a few
remarks myself," said the President, w how
shall Istsve him off?"
u Well I don't know—in the first place I
should pinch hie left leg, and then if he
shoatib'tstop I'd stick a pin in it."
The President returned to his seat, and his
head was invisible for a moment. Soon after,
returned to the "brother" who
the "pin style of treatment,"
and said
"Í pinched him, and he did'nt take the

the winter of my need, they leave me naked.

Where the golden corn i bemiing,

Where the chesnut woods are sending-
Leafy showers on the grass. -
The blue river onward flowing .
Mingles with its noisy stife,
The murmuring oí the dowers growing,
And the hum of insect life.
1 frotn that rich plain was gazing
Towards the snowy mountains high,
Who their ¿¡learning peaks were raising
Up against the purple sky.
An.i the glory of their shining.
Bathed in clouds of ro*y Jight,
Set my weary spirit pining
for a home so pure and bright!
So 1 left the plain and weary.
Fainting, yet with hope sustained,
Toiled through pathways Jong and dreary,
Till the mountain top was gained.
Lo the height that I had taken,
As so shining from btlow,
"Wás a desolate, forsaken
Region of perpetual snow:
1 am faint, my feet are bleeding,
All my feeble stren gth is worn,
In the plain no soul is heeding,
1 am here alons, forlorn.
Lights are shining, bells are tolling,
In the busy vale below-,
Near me night's black clouds are rollag,
Gathering ore a waste of snow.
So 1 watch the river winding
Through the misty lading plain,
Bitter are the tear-dreps blinding,
Bitter useless toil and pain.
Bitterest of all the finding
That my dream was false and vain !
