PASSING AWAY.


E. N R.
" Passing away passing away
Things we most cherish fall first to decay;
Smiles that are sweetest, the soonest have flown,
And friends that are dearest, the earliest gone.
" Passing away-passing away
We have fingered here but fleeing day;
The faces met were the new and strange,
And we sighed as we looked on so drear change.
But passing away-passing away
Time has sped far that first wearisome day,
And we'll have we learned with a ready part
To rivet new ties round the yielding heart.
We have learned 10 love the new and strange,
Till we fear to think Of the coming change,
ynd weep as we dream OF the saddening day
When these newt found friends will have passed a,pal
Will have passed away will have passed away!
Is there, then, no love that will last for aye?
Are there no friends who will ne'er estrange!
NJ hearts to be true mid the wreck of change?
Nay, nay, doubt not, it's a cherries thing,
To doubt the faith of the hearts where we cling;
And we fan would trust, though all others decay,
The love of these friends will pass neuer away.
Though lite may pass on, and we meet no more
Till its dreams are gone, and its strivings DER,
We will oft look back through memorys hall,
And these eyes and these voices again recall.
And, OH may it be in the final hour,
They may come yet again with holy power;
And draw US on with yet stronger love
To Join in eternal bonds above.
But, oh, shall we meet-shall we all meet there!
'Twere bliss to outweigh all worldly care,
And we we'll might Joy, though our mortal day
In this cold, cold world pass swiftly away.
Oh friends, dear friends il is vain to tell
How these fears and hopes in my spirit dwell!
Shall we all meet there shall we all meet Ihere
IT'S my dearest hope, and my constant prayer!

MAYORS COURT SATuRDAY.-His Honour, General
LAMBENT, being ndisposed, Alderman 7. CowLEs, pre-
sided.
Only three prisoners were brought up from the cage,
so Alderman CowLEs had quite pleasant task in dis
pensing justice on this occasion.
The first prisoner brought to the stand proved be
white man named Robert p Burnes who had been
picked up by the watchmen the night, brm full Of
rum AS this proved to be his first appearance before
the Mayors Court and Burns solemn asseyerated it
should be his last one he discharged.
The next was negro fellow who claimed to be free
but who had been arrested because he had no register
He succeeded in establishing his claim to freedom, and
was also discharged.
The third and last prisoner proved to be worthless
free fellow, named Jacob Cross who had been ordered
to leave the city, but failed to do He was commit
ted till M onday.

is the purpose learn, OF the General to abandon his
cotton plantation, Rodney, which is subject to
over1ows, and concentrate his force upon his
