OVER THE FERRY.
FROM THE GERMAN OF UHLASp.

Once in years long past and buried
Ger the waters / was ferried;
Here on castle, rock and river
Falls the evening shade as ever.
And beside me in the wherry
Two dear friends then crossed the ferry:
One, grave and thoughtful brother,
Strong in youth and hope the other.
One toiled on with faith before him,
And the grave closed peaceful o'cr him;
While the other strong, free hearted,
In the battle-strifs departed.
Thus as though the past wander.
And upon its pages ponder
Must miss loved friends and cherished,
Who by deaths fell hand have persisted.
Take, then, boatman, thrice owe thee,
Here this coin offer to thee;
For Unseen with mo thus ferried,
Two bright spirits thou hast carried.

Romance Of Magnetism.

Eugene Guizot gives us an incident in
Partisan life which he regards as roman

The scene is laid in a pavilion attached
to a country house, In the neighborhood

too late to awaken the sleepers of the
house, comes to share the room of his
friend in the pavilion.
The conversation between the lover
(shall we call him so' and the husband
is amusing, and as the hour approaches
the perplexity of the former increases.
His agitation leads him to the most incon-
sistent remarks, and the most inexplicable

Mons. Armand, with an air of intehse
thought leans on the table, and inwardly
exerts his magnetic will.
In few moments Madame x. enters.
