We hae had a happy thne, Since hams cam Johnnie; Wr a face like augel sweet, Stealin` a' oor kisses neat, Creepin' roun on hauns an' feet, Was oor wee Johnnie! Langest day maun hae it close, Alas! puh Johnnie ; Death cam in sae grim an' cauld, Chilrd the lannnie in the fauld, Teen the young and left the auld, Pur deid wee Johnnie. Teen awaa in life's spring-tim e, Oor wee Johnnie, 3Iither's heart in anguish wild, Father grudges sair hiachild, Yet to God baith reconcii'd, -We'll gang to Johnnie ! Once the light o' oor hoose, Oor sin wee Johnnie; Noe the light is taen awe', Darkness seems to cover a', Nene can comfort us ava Bit oor wee Johnnie ! Neath the soughie' willow tree Lies oor wee Johnnie; Just beneath a hillock green, Whaur the daises may be seen, WI' the buttercups between, Sleeps oor wee Johnnie.' Of we shed the bitter tear For oor wee Johnnie; Then look wi' faith abune, Whaur nae sorrow creepeth in, There, secure free death an' sin, Bides oor wee Johnnie !

He replied, " No ; but, if I wantedlo do so,now undoubtedly would be my tinse." "How so ?" " Because I hold a beautiful hand."

Ward, t� steal $13,060,000, only to shovel ashes and file castings in Sing Sing at last? This question has a hefty moral signifi- cance for the young man of the period. -An Irishman, going down the High Street of Glasgow, met a person whom he thought he knew ; but Pat finding his mistake, "1 beg your pardon," says he, "I thought it was you, and you thought it was me, but by SL Patrick it is none of us.' -Two knights of the shuttle and their spouses made up their minds to Walk down to the "Water Neb," as they called the port of Renfrew. and go on hoard the steamer for Arran, to enjoy a little fresh air. After passing Greenock, the two lords of creation gravitated to- wards the steward's cabin, and as they disappeared below the dock level, one of them called out to his wife, "Maggie, jist tand where ye are, and gie us a bit ea' up when the scenery begins." -, -The following anecdote is told in illustration of the Scotch veneration for the Sabbath. A geologist, while in the country, and having his pocket -hammer with him, took it out, and was chipping the roek by sthe way -side for exa,min- ation.

" Y'are doing mair than that; y'are breaking the Sabbath." -The captain of a schooner, noted for his parsimony, Was one day waited upon by his cook, who informed him that the crew were in a state of dissatisfaction bordering on mutiny, in consequence of their being compelled to subsist on such - a scanty suppry of provisions. "What !" thundered the enraged skipper, "have the ungrateful scoundrels the audacity to assert that they don't get enough to eat? Confound their insatiable glut- tony! Give 'ern three herrings for din- ner, Joe! give 'em three herrings and let 'em bust !". -The following anecdote of the Duke of Wellington is worthy of being pre- served : It was proposed16._Pnrchase a fartn in the neighbourhood of Strath. tieldsays, which lay contiguous to his estate, and was therefore a valuable ac- quisition, to which he assented. When the purchase Was completed, his steward congratulated hirn upon having had such a bargain, as the seller was in diffi- culties, and forced to part with it.

There are only two articles l from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. -Gall glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain feund in all pebble.
