Jake accordingly SET off, and reached the
dissecting room, groped about, until he found
the knife and the bodies. He had just ap-

He accordingly put The knife 10 the neck
of the next corpse, when another voice,
equally unearthIy in its tone, shrieked out

Jake was puzzled at first; but answered
presently.

to fool me, no howl and Jake hacked away
until he separated the head from the body.
Thereupon half dozen voices screamed out

voice.

The following exquisite poem is extracted from the

can appreciate the genuine Irish grief and fondncss
Jrcathed in every line.
NIGHT WATCHING.
Good night, good night acushla machree,
Dark is the night which is setting for mo,
And my tears tha, are falling quietly
Will gush in a torrent soon
There is no ono beside me 10 cheer to night
No one 10 tell me Gods will is right;
But know Ills deudly sin 10 fright
The soul which is going to him.
So hold nv pence. and in murmurs low.
Till none could guess am greving so;
To Him and his angels I tell my woe,
And pray for the soul departing.
he was my all in the world below,
No other friend did seek or know,
But will not grudgs him 10 heaven now,
Since tits Gods high will 10 take TO him.
Long, long the dark night seems 10 stay,
Yet more dread tho morning gray,
For the weakening breath will have child away
Ere Its full rays brighten round him,
He will not bid me cease my moan;
My sorrow now must be all my own,
My darkest grief must bear alone,
As,or machrce. you're going
will watch no with longing ear
The fall oi your proud light foot 10 hear.
When your quiet home you drawing noar;
Oh!-dark Twill be without you.
I will thrill no more 10 your words 30 fond,
Nor proudly think how fuiry's wand
Gould yer bring me joy beyond
The bliss OF being near you:
will hold my head less lofty now,
Whom you are laid in tile church yard low
Too much gIored long ago
In the huPpy lol God gave mo.
No more for me is The laugh and song;
But still as tho darkening night comes on,
The ncigEbors will see me creep along
To the cod ground whore you're lying.
And they'll tell the young how my heart beat high,
And the flushing joy was in my eye,
And small the thought Of care or death had I,
When 6.st VIC two were pIlghted
For the edifcation Of those who imagine
they can penetrate the designs of women, we
have translated from French volume on Ori.
entail manners, the following little story. To
understand it, we have TO inform OF readers
that among the Orientals, it is cnstomaryt to a.
gree for time to pay stipulated forfeit if a
husband receives from his wife, or wife, from
her husband, anything whatsoever, without pro
nouncng the word Diadeste. Each therefore
prac,ises the greatest ingenuity to throw the
other off his or her guard.
