ROMANCE In REAL LIFE.

The following interesting little narrative,
strikingly illustrates the remark of Lord
Byron, that Truth is sometimes stronger
than fiction" The circumstance is very
beautifully alluded to in one OF Mr.. Hazlitt's
Essays but the following is minute and,
we may add, authentic statement, drawn up
by gentleman VINO knew the parties, and
was long connected with the noble family
to whom 1t relates:
"When the late Earl of Exeter was in
his minority he married lady OF the name
and family Of Vernon, OF Hamburg, Wor-
Cestershire, from whom he was afterwards
divorced. After the separation had taken
place, Lord Exeter, his uncle, advised him
then the Hon. Mr. Cecil} to retire into the
country for some time, and pass for a pri-
yate gentleman. He complied with the re-
quest, and took his course into retired
part OF Shropshire. There fixing his resi-
dence for some time at an inn in the smell
village of Hodnet, he became liberal 10 an
uncxanpled degree to all about him. Some
people in. the neighborhood formed suspl-
cous notions of him; surmising that he was
a rogue in disguise, and accordingly shun-
ned his company. Others took him Tor an
Indian Nabob, or some eminent parsonage
in diruse, and frequently he heard the rus
tics exclaini there goes the gentleman =
Taking a dislike to his situation, he looked
out for board at some farm house /; but here
again was difficulty. Few families cared

On PRoFANEHEss. II seems wondeF

God is mentioned, any mind should not be

BY GRENvILLE MELLEN.
Sail on, thou lone, imperial bird,
Ofquenchless eye and tireless wing,
How is thy distant coming heard
AS the nights breezes round thee ring
Thy course was gaInst the burning sun
In his EXTREMIST glory how
Is thy unequalled daring done,
Thou stoop'st to earth SO lowly now
Or hast thou left thy rocking dome,
Thy roaring crag, thy lightning pine,
10 find some secret, meaner home,
Less stormy and unsafe than thne'
Else why thy duslSy pinions bend
So closely TO this shadowy world,
And round thy scorching glances send
As wishing thy broad pens were lurl'd
Yet lonely is thy shattered nest,
Thy eyry desolate, though high!
And lonely thou, alike, at rest,
Or soaring in thy upper sky!
The golden light that bathes thy plumes
On thine ntermnabe fight,
Falls cherries on earth's desert tombs,
And makes the north e-mountain bright
So come the eagle-hearted down,
So come the proud and high TO earth.
When LIES night gathering tempests frown
Over their glory and their ninth!
So quails the minds undying eye,
That bore, unveil'd, fames ncontde sun
So man seeks solitude, to die,
His high place left-his triumphs done
So round the residence of power,
A cold and jnyless lustie shines,
And on life's pinnacles will lower,
Clouds dark as baihe the eagles pines
But oh the mellow light that pours
From Gods pure throne--the light that saves
And sheds deep radiance round our graves

A NIGHT SCENE

IT is deep midnight; on the verdant hills,
IN beauty spread, the broad white moonlight lies.
No sound is heard save that the grey owl boots
At Intervals in the old messy wood,
Or save the rustic of the aspen leaves,
That, ceaseless, turn upon their slender stems,
When not breath is felt in all the heaven.
Standing upon an emlnence, see
The haunts of men around. The world is still.
The bnsy and the busting are at rest
Their mingled voices do not fill the air,
AS when | visited here at noon of day
The birds are silent now, and the tired beasts
Are skunk TO rest. Almost beneath my feet
Stand cottages, the dwellings of the poor,
And prouder mansions Of the rich and great.
The cottager and all his little ones
Are slumbering now. Theirs is a sweeter sleep
Than luxury and wealth can ever give
Not distant far, upon gentle SWELL
With its back ground of orchaid ding and wood
And more immediate circle oc green trees,
My much loved home, my native dwelling,
stands.
It's roof is glimmering in the white moonshine,
And all its inmates, save myself at rest.
| see the little brook meandering there,
But do not hear its voice the trembling light
OF the full moon falls OH its shifting waves,
And is thrown back in flashes on my eye.
How sweet the stiffness of this midnight hour
II banlshes the cares of busy life;
The spirit OF the mighiest is abroad
It fills the boundless air, the spreading wood,
The wids, the lonely deserts of the earth,
and all her populous realms.
In few hours
The rosy morn will break upon the hills,
And all these sleepers start to life again.
The gay TO spend another day of mirlh;
The housewife to her toll ; the laboring man
TO his accustomed task The little birds
That perch in silence on these lofty trees,
Shall then break forth in songs, wild woodland
songs,
Such as We're chanted on the sixth DAYS morn
In Eden's bowers to hail the birth Of man.
And summers morning wind shall breathe
again,
And toss the dew drops from the forest leaves,
And all this solemn stiffness be exchanged
For universal motion.
Standing here,
And looking on this varied scenery, spread
So beautiful around, | feel power,
As of the great Omnipotent upon me,
That calls my heart to worship; will kneel,
Here By the side of this o'erhancins wood,
And like the patriarchs of ancient time,
Who worshipped on the mountains, offer up
Beneath heavens mighty arch, my humble
hymn
To the great Keeper of tho sleeping world.

TERRITORY OF HURON.

[When the Bill for the establishment of the
Territory of Huron was before the Committee
on Territories, the Hon. Austin i. Wing, Del
egate in Congress from Michigan. addressed
letter to the Committee, from which, we make
the following interesting extracts:
The explored and known parts of the
contemplated Territory, and within which
the principal settlements are formed, is that
portion of the Northwestern Territory lying
between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi,
and north Of the State OF Illinois which, at
the time that Illinois became State, was,
for the purposes Of civil jurisdiction, attach
ed to the Territory of Michigan.
At that time. the number of inhabitants in
that country was small. But soon after the
late war, military posts were established at
Green Bay, Prairie du Chen and st. Peters
the two former of which contained the prin-
cpal white settlements, and the effect Of
which was to increase the white population
of the country TO considerable amount
probably, in 1898, to 1900. Within the last
three OF four years, however, since the re-
sources Of the country i'll minerals have
been developed, and an opportunity has
been afforded of leasing mineral lands from
the Government, the emigration to that
country has been almost unparalleled, and
the appearance and business OF the country
have assumed different and an interesting
aspect. During the last summer and fall,
and even during the present session, have
received numerous communications from
that country, on the subject of their wants,
the number of their inhabitants, &c. &c. l
have also conversed with several intelligent
gentlemen who have visited there during
the last year. Various estimates have been
given me as to the amount of population,
varying between 10 and 10000. The low
est number given me at any time since the
last Of October has been 10000; and by
several men Of good Judgment and intelli-

In that statement, after speaking ofthose I'M

own opinions on that subject and we cheer

the Judgment Of an impartial pnsteriiy But
the sentence which We have qroted contains
the assertion of distinct fact as ono within

to consider il as the unguardcd expression Of

and brought before the public under tho sane
ton Of your name, as being founded on uns.
qnivocal evidence, within your Knowledge.
We do not claim for ourselves, nor even for
those deceased friends whose representatives
join in this address, the title Of leaders Of my
party in Massachusetts but we were associate
