cliff added the woman, glaneing earnestly
towards the mountains.
All, yes, and Nadir will soon be here,'
returned the maiden, while her dark orbs
beamed with JOY.
The young girl had prophesied truly,
for in a moment more the horsemen dashed
up to the entrance of the tent, and Hooli
throwing himself from his painting steed
elasped the young maiden to his manly
breast
1t was midnight. Alone within his
tent on a rude couch, lay the form of the
Afshar chief, Hafeez. His brow was
clouded. and stern expression had stamp
ed itself upon his features.
The heavy folds of the tent were thrown
back, and the tall, commanding form of
the Turk entered his presence.
What, Hafeez, can you find time for
rest, when the hour is so near at hand
he exclaimed, il half chiding tone, ap-
preaching the couch.
Nay, Hooli, l have not slept, but
have been racking my brain with strange
thoughts. returned the chief with bland
smile, rising from his couch.

wrapping his robe more closely around
him.
A moment, and I will be with you,'
returned the chief, and wrapping himself
in cloak, they both left the tent
The faint light of dawn was shooting
UP into the cloudless orient, as the last Of
the Afshars disappeared from view along
the mountain gorges, and where, but the
night before, their white tents glittered
in the clear moonlight, now was but an
plain, with barely tree to
relieve its desert waste.

The Louis lille Journal says We defy an
tasteful lover of poetry TO read the following line
without excaming-" how beautiful 70
My soul thy sacred image keeps.
Ny midnight dreams are all of thee:
For nature then in silence sleeps,
And silence broods oer land and sea;
Oh, IN that still, mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams l start,
To find thee but fancy flower,
Thou cherished IDOL OF my heart
Thou hast each thought and dream of mine
Have in turn one thought of thine?
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whateer may be my fortune here:
/ ask not love-I claim from thee
only one boon, gentle tear;
May e'er blest visions from above
Play brightly round thy happy heart
And may the beams of peace and love
Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart,
Farewell my dreams are still with thee,
Hast thou one tender thought of mea
My joys like summer birds may fly,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die
Thy holy memory in my heart;
10 dews that flowers cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But 1t will live and flourish still,
As deaihIess as thing of heaven
My soul greets thine, unasked, unsought,
Has, thou for me one gentle thought?
Farewell farewell my far-of friend
Between us broad, blue rivers flow,
And forests wave and plains extend,
And mountains in the sunlight glow;
The wind that breathes upon Thy brow
Is not the wind that breathes on mine,
The star-beams shining on thee now
Are not the beams that on he shine
But memorys spell is with me yet
Canst thou the holy past forget?
The bitter tears that you and |
May shed whene'er by anguish bowed,
ExhaIed into the nooutide sky,
May meet and mingle in the cloud;
And thus, my much loved friend, tho We
Far, far apart must live and move,
Our souls when God shall set them free,
Can mingle in the world of love.

WHERE THE STRENGTH LIES.

Where is the strength and safety Of
people Is it in their multitude ? Look
at Europe, and behold the millions the
sport of the few look at the nations and
races trampled by 1.-THE of their num-
bers in the dust; look at the myriad slaves
whom a thousand tyrants and taxmen
scourge in fields, and camps, and dun
geons. The strength Of people is not
alone In multitude. Is it In tie power of
revolutions and massacres or in the bay
ouets they can fling to the glimmer of tho
SUM- Did bayonets save Rome Did
they save Poland, and Hungary, and
France, and Germany to the people' The
strength and safety of people lie in their
knowledge of their rights and their union
In defence of them Ignorant and disu-
nited. the greater the number the greater
the danger of people. They are their
own curse. They fall upon and destroy
themselves. In their hands bayonets be-
come suicidal. Give people true knowl-
edge of themselves, and no power can op-
pose them. Liberty comes with intelli-
gence, and the unarmed, intelligent mill
ions The strength of the American peo-
pie lie least in their number of cannon and
bavonets, and most In their school houses,
newspapers and books These are inde-
structible weapons, to which age adds edge
and might ; and armed with these, we are
safer and stronger than soil brIstiing
with murderous steel. Armed with these,
millions lean together, and strike nightly
but bloodlessly as one man, through tho
ballot box.

JOYOUS was the heart of the fair Ella

Of her lover, for now she had nothing tc
fear; and he on whom she had placed all
her young affections was ever near her to
Danish her sorrows with his cheering
words And now, even the cloud that had
been won't to lower upon the brow OF the
aged GAIA, had changed into a bright
smile, for his loved sister was again restor-
ed to his fond embrace, and he who de-
stroyed all his past happiness bad now
atoned for all his soul had passed to the
land of shades.
The heart of the rescued captive, Hu-
bert. was made glad, for he bad won the
love Of the peerless Zoe And he now
looked forward to the brilliant future with
bright hopes. it was fraught with so much
anticipated ioy. The countenances of al
seemed to beam with an inward joy, and
| light smiles rested upon their features

upon their pathway and they looked for
ward to the mysterious future with bright

It was evening The silvery rays o.

THE CRops.-We regret to say that
reports begin to reach us less hatter--
ing as to the coming crops. The
Springfield Illinois journal says the
fly or bug has destroyed several prom.
ising fields of wheat in the vicinity of
Chicago, and their depredations are
more extended in Logan, Christian and
Mclean Counties.
In Michigan We hear of the de.
struction of the growing wheat crop
in the Counties Of Cass, Van Buren,,
Allegan, St. Joseph. Hillsdale, Cal
houn, Jackson, Washtenaw, and Kali
mazoo, by the wheat insect, supposed
to be the same as deprecated so large.
~ last year. Many fields that prons-
ed % bushels an acre three weeks ago,
are utterly blighted, and in many
cases farmers are blowing up their
fields and planting corn. Some fields
of Mediterranean wheat have so far
escaped.
The Peach crop in the region of
Cleveland, will be very light. The
trees are represented as dead or too
near it to supply any fruit. Many
large growers will not have a baske {
full. So say the papers.
From Kalamazoo Mich, we learn the
prospect of a fine cropof Peaches new,
er was better.

We do not agree with those who
look upon the election of Mr.. Wise as
the end of Know Nothingism in the

time ; for if the Democrats cannot car

is a strong hold that has never yet
yielded, and if in the face of all her
traditions, and with the open ballot,
Virginia had surrendered, it would
have been waste Of bunting to raise
the Democratic flag again, anywhere
from Maine to Texas. AS it is, it
shows that the Democrats, by major.

have always carried before, and that
