THE OLD NAN'S VIEW ON BMX.
BY J0US U YAWS.

Now, Betsey, it is my turn—now let the old
man tell,
dust what be thinks of heaven, and how he
looks at hell.
For some men have been telliu', till nearly
out of breath
That everything is fixed up fine for sinners
after death.
i1.
My years are three score years and ten—ray
hairs are white as snow;
I ought to know the ways of men --God's way
I ought to know ;
I travelled on the downward read till con-
science loud did ery.
"It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to
die.

There is a bell, I know it. its fires are Mt by
deme
Who le'tawe their houses, anktfaitltfulwives for
harlots and for ruin
The tires of bell are kindled many years this
side the gt:'tve;
They only burn the num when no Cluiat
can copse to save.

There is a heaven, I know it, and heaven be. Deep eileuee fo:lowed. broken 1st last

slave from Virginia.
"Jess so, brudder, but I assumes de

plica the President, motioning for the
hat to begin its travels.
The colleetion began with fourteen
cents from the Rev. Penstock, dwindled
down to five at the Hon. Jacob Spades,
and wound up with a email sent and a
recipe fur making hair -oil from Col.
Bermuda Johnson.

"Oh happy day that faxed my choice"— that
made nay conscience cry,
"It is not all of life to live, nor all of death

Let's trim our life lamps, Betsey,—keep 'cm

For the midnight hour approaci rtli—seen

There,'s tliat wretched, bloodymurderer with-
in his prison cell ;
Oon hangman, grimly waiting, give him all
there is of hell?
He who murdered all his children, and his
wife, with terror dumb,
Because she told the tavern man to sell him
no more rum ?
I; tell you, Betsey, it is hell to live with soma
men, here—
Anti I may say some women, and no contra-
diction fear ;
Pe I read in the old Bible I have learned to
love so well,
Thar "the tongue's a deadly poison, and
set on fire of hell."

AO would a guilty sinner do among the
angel choir ?
To him theholiness of heaven would be the
hottest fire ;
Ifot all the golden harps above, can make a
happy place,
Tohim who cannot stand before the glory of
God's face,
XII.
Not all the flowers of paradise—not all the
birds that sing,
Can moments of pure happiness to guilty
sinners bring ;
0o4 is the bliss of heaven ; if he frowns -upon
the soul,
'Tis fire, and endless torment, while eternal
ages roll.
XIII.
Howmany cruel men, thro' life, mount up
on pleasure's wings,
While they who love, and serve their God,
bear affliction's stings ;
flow, then, can God be good -to all, and just
as well,
Lf there's no heaven for godly men, for god-
less mon no hell ?
XIV.
Ah ! Betsey, let's be watchin'—watchin' early.
watohin' late?
ft:chance a hungry Lazarus may coma beg -
gin' at our gate ;
If so we'll bid him welcome, heal his wounds,
and wipO his eyes ;
For he who shows no mercy, gets no Mercy

Tilsonburg American oats are being re-
ceived by thousands of bushels, leaving
homegrown este without a market.
Although a "Liberal" in times past, he
says that he wilt certainly oppose at
the approaching election the Govern-
ment that refuses to do juetioe to the
country's agricultural interests.
The firet impression that the Eng-
lish design on the American dollar
gives you, is that the eagle has just been
roused from a brown study by a moot
awful and unexpected swipe across the
back with a otuf ed club.
