very fond Of 'possum hunting-a perfect MIN
rod in that line. Having, as usual, gone out
for that purpose it was not long before his dogs
struck track and soon freed. The hunter
having arrived at the tree, deliberately laid
down his TORCH and drawing his axe from his
shoulder; eager for the game, began laying on
TO fell it. He had not given more than one or
two cuts when, to his CONSERVATION, he heard a
voice from above, saying
IF YOU won't let the dogs bite me, I'll come
down and help you cut the tree down."
Thunderstruck and amazed, our hunter drop
ped his axe and made double quick time for
home. II turned out in the sequel that anoth-
er negro IA runaway hearing the dogs, took

about ten feet off; the runaway, seeing no other
person but the hunter come up, Volunteered his
services to help him. But Nimrod thought the

A Gem.

Into my heart a silent look
Flashed from the careless eyes,
And what before was shadowy took
The light of summer skies
The first born love was in that look,
The Venus rose from out the deep
OF those inspiring eyes.
Ny life, like some lone, solemn spot
A spirit passes Ger,
Grew indstinct with glory not
In earth or heaven before;
Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot,
And shook the leaf Of every thought
The presence wandered DER
My being yearned and crept TO thine,
As if, in times of yore,
Thy soul hath been part of mine,
Which claims it back once more;
Thy very self no longer thine,
But merged in that delicious life
Which made US one of yorel
There bloomed beside thee forms as fair,
There murmured tones as sweet,
But round thee breathed the enchanted air
Twas life and death to meet;
And hence forth thou alone vert fair,
And thought the stars had sung for Joy,
Thy whisper only sweet.
