men pour down their throats. The City
Marshal of Bangor, destroying some liquor
recently, was led to examine it. 1t pur-

As some of it was burning in a kettle in

the liquor. An Irishman standing by,

SONG OF THE SOUTHERN LAND.
Lay her where the wood-bine clingeth
To the dark magnolia tree;
Where the breeze low music brngeth
From the bosom of the sea;
With sorrowful devotion,
Lay here where sweet violets be;
Where the leaves keep gentle motion
To the breathing of the sea!
There, there, lay her,
There, there, leave her,
Our fair Ella,
Our young Ella,
Our lost Ella,
Ella Lee!
Ever blooming as the summer,
Ever humming like the bee
We believed her some bright conner,
From the land where souls are free.
Oh. she was so sweet and holy,
Mortal meier could lovelier be,
And she left US bright and lowly,
As the sunset leaves the sea!
Yes, we've lost her,
Ever lost her,
Our sweet Ella,
Our fair Ella,
Our young Ella,
Ella Lee?
Lay her where the long grass sweepeth,
On the bark of many tree;
Where the lonely willow weepcth,
Like mourner by the sea,
She was lovely, she was gentle,
AS all gifted spirits be;
Folded in a linen mantle,
Slumbering the signing sea,
We have left her,
Sadly left her,
Our fair Ella,
Our young Ella,
Our lost Ella,

A sea-shcll gathcr'd by his hand,
From out the ripping wave;
Oh, love, by this remember me!
Far inland thou must dwell
But thou shalt hear the sounding sea,
In the murmur of the shell.
All, woe is me! with tatter'd sail
The ship is wildly tost!

They sink-and all are lost
While happy yet untouched by fear,
Repeating his farewell,
Poor Mary smiles, and loves to hear
The murmer of the she'll.
The tidings wrecked her simple brain;
And smiling now she goes

Unconscious of her woes;
