DARK HOURS.
BY CAROLINE A. BRIGGS.

oh, my tired soul, be patient '-Roughest rinds
Fold over sweetest iruitage heaviest clouds
Rain the most ample haryests on the fields;
The grass grows grccncst where the wintry snow
Have fallen deepest and the fsrest flowers
Spring from old dead decay. The darkest mine
Yields the most flashing jewels from its cell,
And stars are born of darkness, day Of night
Oh. my tried soul, be patient Yet for thee
Goes on the secret alchemy Of life;
God, the 0ne-Giver, grants no boon to earth
That lie withholds from thee and from the dark
OF thy doep sorrow shall evolve new light
New strength to do and suffer. new resolves,
Porchance new gladnosscs and freshest hopes
Oh there are times when can no more weep
That have suffered, for ] know great strength
Is born of suffering; and | trust that still,
Wrapt in the dry husk Of my outer l%,
Lie warmer seeds than ever yet have burst
from its dull covering; stronger purposes
Stir consciously within, and make me great
With n new life-a life akin to Gods
which must nurture for the holy skes
Help me, thou great An Patient for the fesh
Will sometimes fllter, and the spirit fail
Add TO my human Thy diviucr strength,
when next | wavcr; rouse nay faith now
That out of darkness may SEQ great light,
Aud follow whore it ever leads-to Thee

AFFECTING INSTANCE or ATTACHMENT IN A
DoG-A little girl, the only and well.beloyed
child Of her parents, died II few weeks since,
aud was Inferred in the private family burying-
ground. A largo Newfoundland dog, the pr-
yate companion and playmate Of the child was
frequently missing from the house after tho iu-
neral. When seen, he was observed 10 DO
crest-fallcn and dropping he refused his food,
moped and lost flesh every day. These circum-
stances exciting curiosity the animal was
watched and followed in his stealthy cxcur-
sions, and il at length appeared that he went
daily 10 the grave Of his former friend and
playmate, deposited, at each visit some Of the
chiId's playthings obtained secretly from the
house ON the grassy mound that covered her
remains, in the vain hope Of alluring her to his
side again, and then lay down, and passed hour
after hour, moaning and whining piteously
His master was obliged finally to chain up the
animal 10 put an end TO his melancholy yigils,
the continuance OF which would have cost the
faithful mourner his existence. A more touch
ing instance Of devotion and attachment has
rarely fallen beneath our notice.

"You say charming things to us both, but

Prince, no subterfuge here Which do you

the question in another form. Suppose, while
sailing on the Seine, this evening, the boat
should upset, and we should be in danger of
drowning, which one would you help"
Both 1T once, or the one who was in the
greatest danger"
But, monseigneur, be frank for once in
your life! Suppose the peril be equally imm-

"Well, would give my right hand to you,
Baroness and the left hand to Madame Re-

But if you could save only onc-one only
do you understand"
"Oh, Madame, you know so many things,
suppose you can swim" replied M. Talleyrand.

Mr.. Core doubted the proprety Of attempt
ing to arrest him, as he was alone, but conclu-
ded he would question him about two runaways
who had been gone some time, and asked the
negro If he knew them, and when he had seen
them.
The negro promptly replied that he did know
them, and volunteered to assist Mr.. Core in
arresting them, and told him if he would meet
him alone at the same place the next day he
would carry him where he could arrest both OF
the negroes as they had been very troublesome
to him, and he wanted to get rid of them.
Mr.. c. promised TO meet him at the time and
place appointed, but, instead of going alone he
took with him his overseer and another young
man. and secreted them, armed with double
barreled guns, in the vicinity of the place Of
meeting AT the appointed time the runaway
made his appearance, but instead of finding
Mr.. c. alone, found the two gentlemen with
their guns levelled upon him. He at once sur
rendered, and gave up his weapons begged
them not to tie him, as he wanted to be taken,

hero informed his captors that the two negroes
were in it that there was but one door, and
no window that if they would suffer him to
approach the cabin first, as soon as he entered
the door they might close up, and thus capture
them with his assistance. They agreed to this
plan and he proceeded cautiously towards the
cabin and, as he entered the door, beckoned to
them to rush up. They did so, but 10 and be-
hold! they perceived a back window through
which their prisoner had jumped, and, mount
ing the overseer's horse, made good his escape.
