PORTRY.

MY HOME IS THE WORLD.

Sregp speed my fleet yeasel the shore is in sight,
The breezes are fair we shall anchor to-night;
‘To-morrow at sunrise Once more [ shall stand

On the sea-beaten shore of my own native lund.

And why does despondency weigh down my heart ?
Such thoughts are for friends who reluctantly part,
T cume from an exile of twenty lony years,

YetI gaze on my country through fast falling teare.

And I see the hills purple with bells of the heath,

And my own happy valley that nestles beneath,

And the fragrant white blossoms spread over the
thorn,

That grows near the cottage in whieh I was born.

Tt cannot be changed ; no, the clematis twines

Oler the gay little porch as it didin oldtimes; —*

And the seat where my father reclined is still
there;

But where is my father! Oh, answer ine where?

My mother’s own casement, the chamber she loved,
Is there overlooking the lawn where I roved.
She thoughtfully sat with her hand o'er her brow
As she watched her yoang darling, oh where is
she now 7?

And there is my poor sister's garden, how wild
Were the innocent sports of that beautiful child ;
Mer voice bud a spell in its musical tone,

And her cheeks were like rose-leaves ! Ah, where
is she gone 7

No father reclines in the clematis seat ;

No nother looks forth from her shaded retreat ;
Neither is there stealing slyly away

Until half suppressed laughter betrayed where she
lay.

How oft in my exile when kind friends were near,
I’ve slighted their kindness and righed to be here ;
How oft lave I said could I once again see

That sweet little valley how blest I should be.

Tow blest! Oh, it is not a valley like this,
That unaided can realize visions of bliss,

Wor voices I listen and then I look round,

For light steps that used te trip after the sound.

And see this green path, I remember it well,

‘Tis the way to the church, hark the toll of the
bell.

How oft in my boyhood a truant I strayed

To yonder dark yew tree and slept ‘neath its shade,

But surely the pathway is narrower now,

No smooth space is left ‘neath the dark yew tree
bough,

Over tablets inscribed with sad words I tread,
And the home I have souglit is the home of the
dead,

And was it for this to my casement I crept,

To gaze on the deep where they deemed that I
slept,

Tothink of fond meetings, the weleome, the kiss,
The friendly bands pressure! Oh, was it for this?

And was it to this T tooked forward so long,

And shrank from the sweetness of Ttuly’s song,
And turned from the glance of the girl of dark
Spain,

And wept for my country again and again.

When those who go long laye been absent return
To the seenes of their childhood it is but to mourn
Wonnds open afresh which time ne: had henled,
And the ills of a life at one glance are revealed.

Speed speed my fleet vessel the tempest may roar,
There's a culm for my heart in the dash of the
wave,

Speed speed my fleet vessel the sails are unfurled,
Ol ask me not whither, my home is the world.

~PUE PARTING WORD.

In telling a story about a Printer, I am
not about detailing the mysteries and dif-
ficulties of his occupation, although a feel
ing and interesting sketch might be made
of the business of his life, with its care and
toil for the good of the world. [love the
printers from association and long habit;
am proud of their companionship; and,
when walking armyndsarm with my
triend, the President of the Franklin ‘Ty-
pographical Society, T fecl as well as il
the individual in the hook of my arm were
the President of the United States. My
intention in this little tale is simply to give
the incidents of a printers life, wherein
his heart was concerned, and not to med-
dle with his profession in any way, save
to dignify my hero by the association.
The ** Freemian’s Star” was located in
Patny, the shire town of Seaburn county,
and it exerted a great influence upon the
mind and manners of the people. Society
took its tone from the printing-oflice, The
magnates of the place owned its sway
perhaps through fear, and the humblest
looked towards if with reverence, for they
had heard of its power as the ‘ defender
of the people’s rights,” and never dcemed
how much of humbug there was in the
protession. The editor was looked up to
us a great man, and people would touch
one another as he passed, and whisper,
“That is the editor!” Tle had been fore-
man of a daily office in the city, and his
importance was unbounded on the as-
sumption of his new honors, In a pro-
portionate degree all hands in the office
were marked men. ‘The single journey
men. the grown-up apprentice from the
neighboring town, and the demon himsell,
were all marked individuals, and people
treated them deferentially for their con-
nection with the ‘mighty engine”. tliat
had such power. Their opinions, ex-
pressed at umes about the weather, or the
elections, or the crops, were listened to
attentively, and everything that appeared
in the Freeman’s Star was imputed to one
or the other of the ** printers” by the par-
ticular friends ot each, Let a piece of
village poetry appear, or x good story
culled from some city paper, and at once
would be seen in it by the different par-
ties traces of the minds of each of their fa-
vorites. They would have known it to be
his if they had seen it in the moon, il they
were by accident located in that planet
and had met with it there.

It was in this office that I made tho ac-
quaintanee of the hero of my story—the
grown-up apprentice —-who bore the un-
euphonius name of Jabez Beso, Ile wasa
spirited fellow, very intelligent, and as
full of mischief ** as an egg is full of meat,”

to use an expressive modernism. Ile was

juiced outright when he threw the bully

a constant attendant upon the tavern, in
all his leisure moments, where, : ttracting
a crowd of countrymen around him, he
would astonish them by the keenness of
his wit and the extent of bis information,
and many a marvellous story haye his
country friends carried home ‘as latest
news,” that had its origin in the teeming
brain of Jabez. Steamboats were blown
np and railroad uccidents were us Com-
mon then, in this way, as now, when the
melancholy realities need no draught up-
on the fancy, for instances,

But he gained a chavacter for wit at the
expense of his moral reputation, which is
too often the case; and at the age of
eighteen, though every body liked him
and laughed with him, he was set down
as not likely ‘to turn out very well?—
a great phrase in Patny. People caution-
ed their sons and dau rs about going
in his company. and ** Evil communica-
tions corrupt good manners” was written
as a copy in every girl’s and boy’s writing
book in town, But he laughed at them
all, and the boys joined him; and the
girls, who, somehow or other, always
seem to set more by the wild and mis-
chievous than by the staid and prudent,
loved Jabez very sisterly. Ie was bold
and generous—qualities which no true
woman can see ina man without admiring
them,

Far more discerning than older ones in

matters of soul, they had discriminated

long ago between the mischief and wild-

ness of Jabez and his malice and wicked-| !
ness, and a large balance was set down in
their hearts in favor of his good qualities.
They saw a sympathetic smile or tear
where those who decried him saw but
levity and heartlessness, ‘They smiled
upon him tor striving to save the child's !
lamb from drowning in the well, and re- !

over the fence for maltreating the widow’s
son. .

—decided that 2 passion so fostered and
concealed should be known, and that all
the speculation with regard to Jabez Bee's
mystery, grandmother's ‘ghost and all,
should be swallowed up by a knowledge
of the taet,

There was to be a great picnic in Pat
ny. ‘The Freeman's Star had announeed
it for a month in big type, and in an edit-
orial notice had apprised the people that
it was to occur on such a day, weather
permitting. ‘The day came auspiciously ;
the sun was bright and the air baliny, and
the birds sang sweetly in the bushes. In
a grove near, the company held high ear
nival to Pan, and the woods were vocal
with the noise of mirth. Near by was a
charming little lake which wooed many to
its brink, to admire its beaaty, to plash in
its cool water, or sail upon its bosom in a
tiny little boat that was at hand. Jabez
and Susan were of the party, and through
the atmosphere of her presence he saw a
new and mystical beauty of everything;

alone upon the waters of the lake, Each
eflurt she made to gain the shore was truit-
les, when, her paddle having become en-
. tangled in the lity pads, she was thrown
helplessly into the water. Rash endeavors
to save her only threatened her more sure
destruction, when Jahez rushed madly to
the scone, and inaminute was by her side.
With one arm grasping the boat and the
other supporting his fair burden, he held
her above the current Lill assistance came,
whin, completely exhausted, he fainted as
he reached the shore.

And thus did the intimacy commence
between the printer and Susan Bray, an
intimacy that resulted in love as pure and
exalted as ever burned in the breasts of
noted heroes or heroines of romance.

But the Freeman’s Star waned in ifs
brilliany ; its four hundred subseribers did

not pay; buckets and apple sauce had
ceased to be negoiiable articles in the pay-
ment for paper and ink; and the Star
went down in darkness, leaving poor Bee
minus employment.

It theretore became
necessary for them to part, and Jabez
recordingly went to Boston.
