Farewell to father blessed hulk ! ' ,
. In spite of metal, spite of bulk," "
His cable soon may slip ;
Yet while the parting tear is moist,
The flag of gratitude I'll hoist
In duty to the ship.
Farewell to mother first-class she
Who launched me on life's stormy sea,
And rigged me fore and aft ;
May providence her timber spare,
. And keep her hulk ingood repair .
" To tow the smaller craft .
Farewell to sister lovly yacht ;
But whether she'll be manned or not,
I cannot now foresee ; :
May some good ship a tender prove,
Well found in stores of tfuth and love,
'" And take her under JeC
Farewell to George the jolly boat
And all the little crafts afloat
In home's delightful bay ;
When they arrive at sailing age
May wisdom prove the weather-guage
And guide them on their way.
Farewell to all on life's rude main
I And though we ne'er may meet again
Through stress of stormy weather,
Yet summond by the Board above,
We'll anchor in the port of love
And all be moored together.
THE MERRY HEART.
'Tis well to have a merry heart,
However short we stay ;
There's wisdom in a merry heart,
f Whate'er the world may say.
Philosophy may lift its head,
And find out many a flaw;
But give me the philosopher
That's happy with a straw I
If life brings us but happiness,
It brings us, we are told,
What's hard to buy; though rich ones try
With all their heaps of gold.
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will of mirth ;
Who laughs the most, may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in a merry heart,
A moral beauty too;
It shows the heart is an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due,
And lent a share of what's to spare, "
Despite of wisdom's fears,
And make the cheek less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin,-' .
It finds a spark to cheer the dark, ,
Its sunlight Is within 1
Then laugh away, let others say '
Whate'er they will of mirth ;
Who laughs the most, may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth."

The. imagin1'
powerful,"
castles, or visionary t,
duced by this faculty
- Imagination is that p
we take part of our
bine them into new forms andT In
more striking and more delightful than
those of ordinary nature; it creates by
laws more closely connected with" the
reason ; it has strong emotions as its
actuating and formative cause; if -aims
at a weighty and definite character.
Milton's Fiery Lake, and the exquisite
pleasures of Paradise are products of
the imagination. By this faculty we
view the coming future, and silently
revel in bright visions painted by it.
Before we engage in any laudable
pursuit we look out into the future and
picture out the road we intend to travel
and the object we desire to occomplish.
How silly is the person who starts out
in this world to accomplish some great
achievement, without first making a
survey of what he is about to enter up
on, or building air castles, as it is called.
To him who has not erected one ot those
magnificent buildings, but is carelessly
passing through life, I would say, let
him pause for a moment, consider where
he is going, and mark well the paths he
would tread through life.
When the laborer has toiled faithful
ly until night has closed the door, it is
very pleasant for him to withdraw his
mind from the burdens by which he is
fatigued, and contemplate grander
scenes. When the student has wearied
and pondered over bis books nntil all is
hushed by the silence of night, it is
then sweet to cast them aside, let the
thoughts of imagination take their sway,
and the hoarded treasures of the mind
burst forth in visions more sublime.
As we draw nearer the close of life,
we lose sight of the things of earth in
visions ; our minds grapple and revel
on the unknown beauties of eternity.
By imagination we can wander back
to the source of time and converse with
succesive generations of men. By the
pinions of imagination we can soar aloft
where the eye has never penetrated ;
where other stars glitter on the mantle
of night, and the morning dawns by the
rays of a brighter sun. Disctptjxo. "-'
DIVISION OF LABOR.
All vocations are respectable, and a
man should be honored for the proficien
cy he acquires in the position he fills.
Therefore no station in society should
be despised. The time has been when
the ancestors of those who are at pres
ent masters of the arts . and sciences,
lived as do the savages of the present
day. If this be true, much honor is
due those who have raied man to his
resent exalted station. Let us then
consider who is entitled to the credit of
this great work. Is it the farmer, the
mechanic, the teacher, the . doctor, ' the
statesman or the minister 1 or can the
credit be given to any one profession, or
have they all contributed to the accom
plishment of this work 1 To answer
this question we must look upon man,
when, in his primitive state, he depend
ed for subsistence upon the fruits of the
chase, and mark how he has continual
ly advanced to the present time. In the
days of primal man, but little difference
in the situation of man could be seen,
yet some must have shown greater skill
in fishing, hunting, etc., and that prac
tice improved tbeir rude arts, and that
a division of labor- was - advantageous.
This must have been the reason why
every man began to apply himself to
some particular occupation. Hence arose
the different professions in which men
were eneaged, but one was not more
honorable than another for one could
not prosper w ithont the others. Thus
each contnbu ted to the welfare of man
kind, and as' time advanced, man was
continually discovering new wants, as
the division of labor was continually
making men more skillful. Thus it is
that man has acqu'red his present situa
tion; not tnrougn any one profession or
trade alone, for every department of la
bor contributes its part for the benefit
of others. Then since the farmer, ' the
mechanic,- the doctor, the statesman,
and the minister are all necessary for
the welfare, of. man, .they are all entitled
to credit. Therefore, let eveiy young
man choose that field of labor for which
he is best qualified, and persevere, for
every man can occupy some respectable
place in society if he is so disposed.
