* * * * * SALLIE TO JOHN. Changed ere long shall my fortunes be, Yet my faith is firm--I will go with thee. I yield not weakly to fancy's trance, Or the fitful flame of young romance; I dwell with a calm, unshrinking mind On the scenes that I seek and leave behind; My future fate spread forth I see, And my choice is fix'd--I will go with thee. I have thought on this hour with many a tear, In the timid weakness of woman's fear; It comes, and I rise, the test above, In the dauntless strength of woman's love. Gaze not upon me with looks so sad-- My step is firm, and my heart is glad; This last, last sigh for my home shall be-- Past is the trial--I go with thee. _Dublin_. JAN RHI. * * * * * Diogenes was not in the wrong, who, when the great Alexander, finding him in the charnel-house, asked him what he was seeking for, answered, "I am seeking for your father's bones, and those of my slave; but I cannot find them, because there is no difference between them." G.K. * * * * * GETTING A JOURNEY. _By Dr. Kitchiner_. I GOT on horseback within ten minutes after I received your letter. When I GOT to Canterbury, I GOT a chaise for town. But I GOT wet through before I GOT to Canterbury, and I have GOT such a cold as I shall not be able to GET rid of in a hurry. I GOT to the Treasury about noon, but first of all I GOT shaved and drest. I soon GOT into the secret of GETTING a memorial before the board, but I could not GET an answer then; however, I GOT intelligence from the messenger that I should most likely GET one next morning. As soon as I GOT back to my inn, I GOT my supper and GOT to bed. It was not long before I GOT to sleep. When I GOT up in the morning, I GOT my breakfast, and then GOT myself drest, that I might GET out in time, to GET an answer to my memorial. As soon as I GOT it, I GOT into the chaise, and GOT home by three o'clock. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, by Various
