GAN DER TRUE TALE"

The maiden had gone to her lattice on high,
To watch the distant cleaning
OF the far-off sails. as they shone on the SKY
Like hopes from Eternity beaming.
In the depths Of its glajDess her spirit wa;
hush'd;
And if tears to her eyes came up,
They were not such drops as in sadness had
gush'd,
But Ger flowings from joys full cup.
And proudly the battle ship came DER the wave.
" it'll its pinions abroad in the air;
All ont on the deck are the young and the brave
Then where is the lov'd onee-oh where!
Full well he had fought in the fierce sea fight;
But twas not 10 the battle he felt:
For the fever blew o'er him its pestilent blight
And he's gone that she lov'd SO well:
Then the storm cloud Of Fate DER, her young
spirit roll'd,
And blacken'd life's sunshine, and pale
She stood, mid her griefs, like some statue ol
old,
And spoke not a word or a wall!
From the song and the dance, and each mirth-
full thing,
That maiden then turn'd her away
Bu, He who can wound, consolation can bring,
Her God. and her hope, and her stay!

raj DAYS TO look around US On visiting that truly
enterprising place, we are much surprised at the
list Of manufacturing establishments which the

one brass foundry, three machine making shops,
three steam Touring mills. one steam saw mill,
TWO boat Yards, two hreweries, three copperas

and chemical aanufactory. Truly, when such
industry is soing on, s. few idlers are to be seen
