OH WOULD I W£R5 A CHILD AGAIN. 
On would I were a child again. 
So merry and so free, 
To gather flower’s through wood and glen, 
In innocence and glee 
Oil I was gay and happy then, 
But ne’er shall he again; 
For long those happy hours are fled, 
And friends I loved, sleep with the dead.] 
Oh would I were that child again, 
A butterfly not brighter, 
And as I dashed the ringlets wild, 
No heart beat ever lighter— 
But. sadness steals upon m« now, 
And grief lia h shaded o’er nay brow; 
The ringlets wild are seen no more, 
And days of joy are o’er, are o’er. 
One sister dear, sleeps in the tomb, 
One that we loved full weil— 
And ere next spring's bright roses bloom. 
There also, 1 may dwell: 
Ami who will shed a heart-felt tear 
For me above my lonely bier? 
Who, who will heave a throbbing sigh, 
If I with that lov’d dead shall lie ? 
Place not the marble’s costly stone 
Above my lonely grave, 
In peace may I repose alone— 
But let the willows wave 
In mournful silence o’er my tomb, 
And may spring’s sweetest violets bloom— 
Yes, ever at return of spring 
May robins wild and blue birds sing. 
Sing—sweetly sing, above my head, 
Sing the sail requiem for the dead.

A SEPTEMBER DAY IN THE COUNTRY, 
This is the season for tho pippins and tho 
pears to ripen, and the clusters of grapes 
to put on their richest purple. The weath¬ 
er is warm yet, but at night tho wind whis¬ 
tles around the corners of the house as if it 
were cold, and tho leaves crowd close to 
each other on a corner of tho stoop, like 
shivering sheep on winter days to keep each 
other warm. Uncle Isaac has been over 
since morning, walking up and down the 
cornfield, with his short-handled hoe, cut¬ 
ting tho stalks and laying them in w inrows. 
And now he has geared out tho wagon to 
three times tho usual length, and placed the 
skids on it, and drives oft' to load the corn 
and draw it up to tho stack-yard. Here 
several lengths of fence have been put up 
for the purpose, along which we dispose of 
it, not so thinly that the wind will blow it 
down, nor yet so closo that the air can not 
draw through it readily. 
It will bo pleasant a week or two hence, 
when tho open air is chilly, but the sun 
beams warm into the sheltered places, to sit | 
hour by hour between these rows to husk 
out tho corn—pleasant to watch tho gradu¬

thick-rowed ears, out of which will bo man¬

We will mind to save out somo of the finest,

without breaking them off, hang them up in

spirited man. 
With these views ho called on his friend 
Stafford, who was happy to accommodate 
him with all tho money he needod, at six 
per cent interest, as the law allowed him to 
tako no more. “ I am always happy,” said 
ho, “to oblige my friends, but I can make 
my money worth twelve por cent, in my 
business, therefore my practice in loaning 
money, is to reckon six per cent interest on 
the sum loaned for three years, (I do not

friend who petted her, and lightened tho 
troubles of her gentle little heart. 
From the time Doctor Evans saw that the 
home of his pride had passed irretrievably 
from his hands, he had scarcoly seen a sober 
moment, and if ono drop more was needed 
in Mrs. Evans’ overflowing cup of sorrow, 
it was soon added by the death of hor hus¬

“THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.” 
Daughter’s of Eve, what sacred “ rights” 
Still claim’st thou from mankind ? 
Where are thy chains that fetter Bull, 
Thy ever-soaring mind ? 
Thy influence may reach as far. 
As wide as thou hast willed; 
For woman’s holiest mission yet. 
Remains to he fulfiLed. 
It is thy right to scatter wide, 
The germs of love and truth; 
To train for senatorial halls, 
The budding mind of youth. 
It is thy right to claim the love. 
Of oue devoted heart; 
To be Ids light, his guiding star, 
Ilis better, holier part. 
It is thy right, to make his home. 
The dearest spot on earlli; 
To wreath the joys that cluster round, 
Tlie dear domestic hearth. 
To charm the wearied soul to rest. 
To banish every care; 
To watch the spirit take its flight. 
Embalmed in thy deep prayer. 
Nor yet around one home be shed, 
All light thy spirit gives; 
Wide is the field, in which thy hand. 
May bind the scattered sheaves. 
’Tis thine to lead the erring one, 
To paths his childhood trod; 
To dry the orphan's bitter tears. 
And point the way to God. 
To keep thy love for human kind. 
Broad as the boundless sea; 
And open wide, thy heart and hand. 
To melting charity. 
What more exuded rights should claim, 
Thy wisdom's wonderous skill; 
Angels might deem their time well-spent, 
Thy office to fulfill.
