" No," replied Mozart, with quiet deliber' ation; "I was only thinking what a long, hard winter it must have been." GRACIOUS. A young clergyman having agreed to supply the pulpit of an older brother absent from home, escorted to church the daughter of the pastor, and, after seeing her safely in her father's pew, ascended to the pulpit, unconscious that his natural attention to the young lady was sufficient to excite lively imaginations and inquiries in the audience, Upon readingthe hymn to be sung, the young clergyman was surprised to see evident efforts in the congregation to suppress laughter. The daughter of his friend possessed the mellifluous name of Grace, and, all unsuspicious of the fact, he had chosen the hymn beginning with the words, "Amazing gcaoe," and proceeding with— " 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed ! Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come. 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. LINES ON SHAG VALLEY. The following is altogether bo classical in its rhyme and its rhythm, and so literal in Its sense, that we cannot resist the tempta* tion of inserting it, though It has not passed the ordeal of our rhadamantine poetical critic :— Before me in its grandeur The fair Shag Valley lies, Encircled by a chain of hills That vertically rise. The king of which Mount Bukatop Stands sentinel o'er the land, Whilo Pukeviti, next in size, Some notice does demand. The Teats or Twins like lovers truo Together still remain ; And Taieri Peak, like a sugar-loaf tall O'ertops the mountain chain. Down through the centre of 'the flat A river murmuring flows ; Its source high up in craggy peaks, Amongst Wihemo snow's, And smiling homesteads, in tho midst Of tall and sheltering trees, Lie scattered o'er, the fertile plain In peacefulness and ease. The flocks that graze upon tho hills, Beneath the balmy air, Together with the songs of birds, Complete the scene so fair. Excelsior. Lower Waihemo, Aug. 7th.
