LONGING.
Lassie, with the lips sae rosy.
With the eyne sae saft and bricht.
Dear wee lassie, I keej) thinkin',
Thinkin' on thee day and nicht.
Winter nichts are lang and eerie;
Oh, gin I were with thee, dear.
Arms about thee, cracking couthly.
With nae mortal by to hear !
With my kisses I would smother
Thy white hand sae jimp and sma,'
And my tears for very rapture
On that wee white hand should fa.'
MR. JOSEPH
HUME.

OPPRESSORS.
The tree of humanity forgets the
modest gardener who tended it amidst
the cold, watered it in time of drought,
and shielded it from hurtful animals;
but it preserves faithfully the names
mercilessly cut into its bark by the
sharp steel, and transmits them to latest
generations in ever-enlarging characters.
