PARTING WITH LOVED ONES. 
How often kindred hearts on earth, 
Meet but to part again— 
Scarce do we learn another’s worth 
Ere with a thrill of pain, 
The thought comes back, that sood, alas! 
The cherished friend must from us pass. 
This world, perchance, might seem too f air; 
Might lure our souls to stay, 
Nor seek a home of glory where 
The loved ne’er pass away, 
Should here affection’s golden chain, 
Without one severed link remain. 
But God who sees our clinging love 
Clasp earthly treasures ever, 
To lure our souls to joys above, 
The shining chain doth sever, 
That all the parted links we own 
May join to bind us to His Throne. 
Yet while we mourn the parting hour, 
May this sweet hope be given. 
That we shall meet each cherished flower 
In yonder blissful heaven. 
Bound by the same bright chain above, 
In one sweet coronal of lore. 
Ohl murmur not, nor chide His ways, 
Though God thy heart hath riven. 
Know that He does it but to raise 
That wandering heart to Heaven: 
And who thy warmest love should share. 
But He who died to bring thee there ?

A BYGONE HIT AT THE TIMES. 
An old and respected citizen of Philadelphia has 
handed us a little volume called the Talisman, 
published in New York more than thirty years ago. 
Among its contents we find a quaint and pithy 
paper, entitled “ The Devil’s Pulpit,” near the close 
of which the following passage occurs, which our 
friend conceived to be written in rather a predic¬ 
tive spirit, and by no means inapplicable to many 
of the faults and characteristics of the present 
times: 
The Doctor now sat leisurely down, with his 
legs hanging over the precipice, supporting him¬ 
self as he leaned backward, with his left hand, 
while he swung his cane to and fro, and remained 
some minutes in profound meditation. 
“Yes,” said he, “I see how it is. These poor 
people too must go the way of all flesh. Half a
