"Kick Him Down."
If Hope again , Avith buoyant Aving , With success his efforts croAvn , A thousand accusations bring , And cry out—" Kick him doAvn !" If on his well-meant efforts rest
The helpless child for . life—If near his doubting , beating breast , There bangs an anxious wife—If to dispel his many cares
Life ' s hopes and joys seem flown , Take a dark vieAv of his affairs , And cry out— "Kick him down !" If good intent our brother guide , Though failing in a part , Discourage not—the Avorld is
Avide—There ' s good in every heart ! Let sympathy your soul inspire , Whate ' er misfortune ' s frown—Oh ! try to look a little higher , And never " Kick him CIOAVU !"
The Adventures Of Don Pasquale.

THEY say that there is something very affecting and sympathetic in " Juxtaposition . " So Clough asserts , ancl I am not anxious to dispute his high authority , though I am sometimes tempted to ask with him , " What is Juxta-position ? " Difficult as it is to explain , ancl hard to analyze correctly , yet there is apparently in it something very softening and agreeable . Be this as it may , our Avounded heroes in Novara found ere long IIOAV woman ' s gentle voice can soothe , and IIOAV woman ' s loving heart can heal , most of the wounds and ills even to Avhich " flesh is heir to , " and how in our hours of emergency , grief , care , Avorry , pain , she is like an Angelic Being at our sides , Avith a message of peace , with whispered Aitteranees of blessing and of tenderness !
Henceforth for these tAvo couples Life had a IIOAV interest , the AA'orld a common sympathy . They had to confront its dangers , its difficulties , its meannesses , its treacheries , no longer alone , but united by a link which could not be broken—a presence which nothing could obliterate . Oh , happy mortals they ! If Don Balthazar and Madame Allegri Avere not so enthusiastic or so symptomatic in their avoAvals and appearance , they felt probably the same emotions , though in a calmer way . Young people often forget that others are bored Avith their " spooning " propensities ' , and din into your ears the praises of their " Theodore " or their Anna Maria , while all the time you think the youth an unlicked cub , and the maiden a little uncivilized hoyden .
