BY WINNIE.

Twas evening. The solemn grandeur Of
he scenery around cast saddening Influence
over the soul. The sun had passed behind
the western cliffs, and its last lingering ray
cast tint of pale light over the dark calm
waters of the lake, and the titful night breeze
Whispered strange things among the leaves
of the jessamine that hung in graceful ies-
toons across the open window. The soft
moonbeams stole silently into that cottage
which stood by the lake, revealing the forms
of its inmates. There, pale and sorrow strick-
en-, robed in MORNINGS sombre hue, sat the
mother: at her side reclined fair young girl,
of some twelve summers, one of earth's bright
est stars. Nature had penciled, with delicate
shade, the rose on her cheek, and her brigh,
and happy countenance told of the purity OF
her soul; but her usually mirthful eye had
something of sadness in it, as, looking from
under the golden ringlets that shaded her
pure brow, into her mothers face, she said
dear mother remember well when we lived
in the city, in such beautiful house, with
fine marble steps, and every thing SO grand

leaves, and my lovely flower garden too. Oh

Mrs. Melvlle's last words had scarcely died
from off her lips, in reply to Laura's questions
relating to her brother, when a tall figure
darkened the doorway and before her stood
her long lost son.
To attempt to describe that meeting would
be folly, we therefore leave it to the imsgi-
nation OF the reader.
Several years have passed since the return
of that son, and Charles Melville has hourly
cause to bless the disinterested benevolence
of the Sons Of Temperance, while they have
had no reason to regret the efforts they made
to save another human being from destruction.

could not meet with rational arguments.
In conclusion add, that do not claim for
magnetism any thing more than is claimed
for matters of less importance. AS long as
the court house is opened for other things not
legitimately connected with its design let no
man be excluded who behaves himself decent

it be remembered that there are hundreds in

hundreds who desire to investigate it further.

Clean through the rain and mist
And feeling of sadness comes o'ef he
That cannot well resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not like being sick,
And resembles sorrow only
hr brickbat resembles brick.
Come, get for me some supper
A good and regular meal,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And Danish the pain feel.
Not from the pastry bakers
Not from the shops for cake.
Iwouldn't give tnrthing
For all that they can make.
For, like the soup at dinner,
Such things would best suggest
Some dishes more substantial,
And to o.night want the best.
Go to some honest butcher,
Whose beef is fresh and nice
As any they have in the city,
And get liberal slice.
Such things through days of labor
And nights devoid of ease
For sad and desperate feelings
Are wonderful remedies.
They have an astonishing power
To aid and reinforce,
And come like the ''inally BRETHREN"
That follows long discourse.
Then get me tender sirloin
From off the bench or hook,
And lend to its sterling goodness
The science of the cook.
And the night shall be filled with comfort,
And the cares with which it begun
Shall fold up their blankets like Indians
And silently cut and run.
