r?1U T NOT THYSELr'.
(311 fret not for to -morrow,
laid farewell to nitro and sorrow I
Let no future evil borrow
The joy of to -day.
Bright smiles, hearts of youth aro keeping,
Baight eyes soonest fade with weeping;
Old age softly on is creeping,
Then sing while yo may,
Lot no storms over move us ;
The rainbow of peace above us
Proclaims there is Ono to lova us,
And make us his care.
Bright ukios beaming kindly o'er ns
Bright days smiling on before its
We'll juin in the happy chorus
That floats thee' the sir.
TilIl BURIAL OF OLD IIOVEER.
Not a Found was hoard, not the hunt of a
bee,
As 1118 corpse to the gar.len we hurried,
Not a comrade was there to howl with dos -
pair
O'er the grave where old hover was
buried.
Wo burial him softly at the close of day
In the flower -garden's cosiest corner,
My eldest boy Ilal with the corpse led the
way;
And my little girl Grace was chief mour-
ner.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast ;
In a piece of old blanket wo wound him,
So ho lay like a shepherd's dog taking his
rest,
With his shaggy old coat around him.
Few and short were the days of his life,
I said in an outburst of sorrow ;
My little ones by heard a natural sigh,
But don't think they thought of the
morrow.
But I thought as I hallowed his narrow
bed,
What n trusty old friend it would cover ;
And I gave a last pat to the poor fellow's
head,
While the girls dropt a tear for old Hover.
Tho cats will come down now, their worst
foe is gone,
And o'or Ms cold ashes upbraid him ;
But little he'll reek if they lot him sleep on
In the grave 'hero his best frioncls have
laid him.
Slowly and sadly wo laid him down,
His tail tucked in neatly behind him ;
Six depths of the spade, poor hover is laid,
Where I don't think a rabbit will find
him.
THE DAINTY BIT PLAN.
130 WILLIA1t Ma.
Our May had au e'e tae a man,
Nae less than the newly -placed preacher;
Sao we plottit a dainty bit plan
For entrappin' our spiritual teacher.
For oh 1 we were sly, sly ;
0111 we were Sly and slookit,
But no'er say a horrin' is dry
Until its baith rotated andreekit.
Wo flatter'd young Moister MacGook,
We piled him wi' tea an' wi' toddy,
Wo praised ilka word that he awoke,
Till we maitt pat him oot o' the body.
Chores.
Free the kirk wo were never awn,
Unless he was free hamo helpin'
Syne May or the root o' us a'
Ran far an' near, after him ekelpin'
Chortle.
But, tae come tae the heart o' the nit,
An' this dainty wee plan that we plottit;
We sot a subscription a -fit,
An' a watch to the minister votit,
Chorus.
Tho young women -folk o' the kirk
By turns took a hand at 001100110' ;
But May took the fuck o' the wars,
The trouble, an' a' the dircotin'.
Ohorne.
A gran' watch was gotten bolyvo,
An' May wi' oma' prfgggin consentit
To be ave u' a party o' five
That geed up to tho manse to present it.

Iu prosentin' she shook baith his hands
An' she spoke a right bonnie palaver,
To mak' Meister MeoGoolc understand
How zealous she Wail in hie favor,
Chorus.
Sho said that the gift was to prove
That his female frien's valued him highly
But it couldna express half bbo love -
Here she glinbit'ler c'O on him slily.
Chorus.
He put the gooled watch in his fab,
An' proudly, he said, ho wad wear it ;
Then, after some flattorm' gab,
He tell't May he Was gaun to bo marrit 1
Chorus.
May cam Immo wi' her heart in her mouth
Free that day she has been a dissenter,
ln' Hoo she's renewin' her youth
Wi' some hopes o' the Burger precentor.
For, 'deed, she's still sly, sly,
As of auld, she's sly and sleokit;
An' she oleverly opens ao door
As soon as tho auld yin is steekit'

A011 01? ANIMALS,
A bear rarely exceeds 20 years ; a
clog lived 20 years ; a fox, 14 or 15 ;
lions are loug•lived-Poinpeylived to
the ago of 70; the evsrage of cats is
14 years ; squirrels and hares 7 of 8
years ; rabbits 7. Elephants have
been known to live to the groat ago
of 400 years, When Alexander the
Great hal conquered Porus, King of
India, he took a great elephant, whish
had fought very valiantly for the
King, named him Ajax, dedicated
him to the sun, and let him go, with
this inscription, "Alsxauder, the son
of Juniper, has dedicated Ajax to the
sun." This olepbaut was found 854
years after. Pigs have boon kuown
to live to the age of 80 yeara ; the
rhinoceros to 20 ; a horse has been
known to live to the age of 02, but
averages from 20 to 25 years ; camels
sometimes live to the age of 100
years ; stags aro long lived ; sheep
seldom exceed the age of 10 ; cows
live 15 years, Cuvier considers it
probable that whales sometimes live
to the ago of 1000 years. Dolphins,
porpoises attain the age of 80. An
eagle died at Vienna at the age of
104. Ravens have reached the ago
of 100. Swans have been known to
live 860 years. Pelioans are long.

live to the age of 107 years.

James Trow, M.P. for South Perth,
who is writing for the Stratford Bea-
con a series of letters on it recent visit
to the North-west, gives the following
account of a taut wish Poundmaker at
his quartore in the Stony MMlountain
Penitentiary ;--Passing along the
lawn we noticed quite a number of
Indians and other prisoners march-
ing past under command of their
guards to their work at a new build-
ing. The Indian prisoners were
dressed in prison suits, giving them
a more respectable appearance than
when clad in a dirty blanket with
gew-gaws, painted faces, and eagle's
wings. Some of them looked gloomy,
others more cheerful. The Indian
has a decided dislike to the wearing
of pantaloons. On one occasion Dr.
Hagerty, then Indian medical adviser
for the Northwest, and myself decor-
ated a young chief at Fort Ellice with
a new Government suit. He evident-
ly fele uncomfortable sighed for "free-
dom, and while wo were exploring
the Port the rascally redskiu out the
seat out of has pants 1 We were tak-
en into the garden containing several
acres under excellent cultivation, and
laid off into well -formed beds contain•
ing almost egery description of vege-
table and flower known in the east.
Engaged in the undignified work of
weeding onions we found the groat
Indian Chief, Poundmaker. 0 tem-
pora f 0 Snores I Verily, how the
times have changed 1 Ascertaining
that it was not against the rules of
the institution to hold a conversation
with the fallen chief, or make him a
present of a few cigars, I gave him
some, which he accepted with evident
pleasure. This I considered a neces-
sary preliminary to engaging in a
general conversation. I need not
weary your readers by rehearsing the
tenor of our confab. Suffice it to
say Poundmaker nodded, wo did the
same ; he said "ho I" we said "ho,l"
This concluded our interesting inter-
view. Probably tho One chief Was
out of temper that ws did not under-
stand Cree. and we were disappointed
that he didn't understand Eughsh or
Welsh, or even Gaelic. His figure is
well -formed, slender, and tall ; his
features are good -nothing winked or
villianous in his countenance. He is
very fond of exhibiting his long hair,
which reaches to the small of his
back. Ho was very much annoyed
on entering the penitentiary when the
was informed his flair would bo out
short, and earnestly craved the influ-
ence of Governor Dowdney and kir.
Bodeen to intercede with Sir John in
hie behalf, that his silky loops should
be spared, saying ho would sooner
lose his life, This privilege wag
granted. Most likely the poor fallen
chief was not as bad as represented,
and that the could not, as alleged, con-
trol his braves when attacked by Col.
Otter, In all probability he will be
set at liberty before his sentence ex-
pires. If he le a judge of comfort he
will remain not merely for the term
of his sentence but during his natur-
al life.
