LORD COURTNEY'S EPITAPH.

I tried to do all the good I could while passing through life, Knowing I would go this way but once, let this be my epitaph: "What I spent I had,

What I saved I left behind me,

What I gave away I have taken with me."

WHOM SHALL WE BOW TO.

[The first lines I ever had printed, 1845.]

Whom shall we bow to?

And what shall we bow to, here upon earth

Shall we bow unto wealth, or to boasters of birth

Or to knaves who in splendor do roll,

Or shall we bow to truth, justice and right,

For principal rather than policy fight

And respect all that's noble of soul.

Too much by policy governed are all

That bastard of truth doth the many enthrall

Men to popular vice homage show.

'Tis what will they say inquires the mean slave

Who lives more for show than for truth that can save

And is false unto God here below.

Nevermind what they say, look ye within,

Examine your heart, see if 'tis free from all sin

Look and see if your motives are pure.

What thro' the bigot, the fool and the knave

Should withhold their support and at you should rave

If conscience approve, you're secure.

Policy damns if we practice it here,

'Tis truth we should fight for, as men without fear

Trust the truth for it never can harm,

Trust to the law that is higher than man,

Live for true principles all ye who can,
Trust the Lord and lean on his arm.

-John M. Todd.

IF I SHOULD DIE TO-NIGHT.

If I should die to-night

And when you should come to my old corpse

Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay -
If I should die to-night

and

And you should come in deepest grief and woe
And say "Here's that ten dollars that I owe"
I might arise in my large white cravat

And you should come to my old corpse and kneel
Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel —

And you

should come to me, and there and then Just even hint " about paying me that ten,

I might arise the while;

But I'd drop dead again.

-King.

The knot was tied, the pair were wed,
And the smiling bridegroom said
Unto the preacher, "Shall I pay
To you the usual fee to-day,
Or would you have me wait a year,
And give you then a hundred clear,
If I should find the marriage state
As happy as I estimate?"
The preacher lost no time in thought,
To his reply no study brought,
There were no wrinkles on his brow;
Said he, "I'll take three dollars now."
