When I am oldâ€"and oh, how soon Will life’s sweet morning yield to noon, And noon’s broad, fervid, earnest light, Be shrouded in the gloom of night! Till like a. story well nigh told, Jill geem my lifeâ€"when I am old; When I m oldâ€"this breezy euth Will lose for me its voice of mirth; The streams will have an undertone Of sadnessâ€"not by right their own, And spring’s sweet flowers in vain unfold In rosy charmsâ€"when I am old. When I am oldâ€"I ghall not me To deck with fiowen my faded hair; ’Twill be no vain desire of mine, In rich and costly robes to shine; Bright jewels and the brightest gold Will charm me noughtâ€"when I am old. Ere I am oldâ€"the time is now, Fotyout'h sits lightly on my brow ; My limbs are firm, and strong, and free, Life has a. thousand charms for me ; Charms that will long their influence hold Within my heartâ€"ore I am 01d. WWVW‘ When I am oldâ€"my friends will be Old and infirm and bowed like me; Or else their bodies ’neath the sod, msclhnnts dwelling safe with God, ' The Thold urchbell will long have tolled Above their restâ€"when I am old. When I am oldâ€"I’d rather bend Thus sadly o’er each buried friend, Than see them lose the earnest truth That marks the friendship of our youth; ’Tvrill be so sad to have them cold, 01' change 'to rueâ€"when I am old. When I am oldâ€"oh how it seems Like the wild lunacy of dreams To picture in. prophetic rhyme, Thfl dim, far distant, shadowy time ; So distant that it seems o’er bold Even to sayâ€"when I an: old. When I am oldâ€"perhaps ere then, I shall be missed from haunts of men'; Perhaps my dwelling will be found Beneath the green and quiet mound ; My name by strangers’ hands enrolled Among the cicadaâ€"ere I am old. Ere I am oldâ€"oh, let me give My life to learning how to live, Then shall I meet, with willing heart, An early summons to depart, Or find my lengthened days consoled By God’s sweet peaceâ€"when I am old. Mary Clarke, wife of the learned Mr. Adam Clarke, was the mother of six sons and six daughters, and the love she bore to them would astonish many of those who are “ without natural affections,” in these lastperilous days. She once wrote:â€"-â€"“ My dear little ones engross by far the largest portion of my time; and the pleasing satis- faction which results from nursing them is my greatest reward. Next to my husband, I View them as the most precious boon of heaven; and I do heartily love them as the gift of God. Neither can you, I am sure, w conceive the tender feelings of a. mother’s breast. I would not; be without these children for all the world could ofl'er.” To one of her sons she wrote the following in- structive wordszâ€"“Do nothing carelessly, and then, I venture to say, that with the ability you have, you will do most things well. Be exact in all you do, nor let the least matter pass you uncxamined. In your rearling,‘too, investigate your subject, and be not satisfied with skimming on the sur- face of things, or make an . ttempt to grasp up the whole without attending to every- patt in order. I aying attention to particu- lars as well as to. generalities, will by de- grees give you a habit of mental observa- tion, while at the some time, it will deepen your knowledge. But endeaVonr to gain heavenly wisdom. Do not forget to hear your needs and your heart in private be- fore God, that he may grant you his grace, and direct all your future paths in life.” A grasp of the hand, a. smile, a “0rd even, is often enough in God’s hand to change the entire Course of life, to save a. soul from death. ' THE pleasures of the World are deceitful; they promise more than they give. They trouble us in seeking them, they do not. satisfy us when possessing them, and they make us despair in using them.

Since the passing of the'Act, the real estate of any married women, which is owned by her at the time of her marriage, and all profitsac- cruing therefrom; shall be held by her for separate use during her lifetime, free from any claims of her husband; her receipts alone being a. discharge forrents, (to, con- nected with it. But she shall be liable for tiny contract made by her respecting her real estate. All wages and personal earnings, all pro- ceeds and profits from any occupatinn or trade which she carries on separately from her husband; and all investments of mob proceeds shall be free from the debts of her husband, and can be disposed of by her without her husband’s consent. She may in her own name insure for her sole benefit, or for the benefit of her chill dren, her own life, or with his consent, the life of her husband, and the amount paid under such insurance shall be free from the claims of the representatives of her husband or his creditors. She may become a stockholder or mem- ber of any bank, insurance company, or any other incorporated association; vote by proxy, and enjoy the like rights as any other stock-holders or members. She may deposit money in her own name in my savings or other bank, and with- draw it on her own check, her receipt being legal discharge to the bank; but it shall not give validity to any deposits made by her, offher husband’s moneys with a view to defraud his creditors. ~ She shall be liable for any debts of her own, contracted before her marriage, and any property belonging to her for her so- parate use, shall be liable to satisfy such debts, and her husband shall not be re- sponsible for any of her dobtsin respect of anybusineés in which she may be engaged on her own behalf. She may maintain an action in her own name for the recovery of wages or money due to her, and can have the some remedies both civil and criminal, against all persons whomsoever, forthe protection and security of such wages, when for her own use; and may be proceeded against, separately from her husband, in respect of any of her debts, engagements, or contracts, as if she were \Vho will say, after this, that women have not “ equal rights” in Ontario?
