AIonc.-BY G. L. BOWLING.

My dear old wife how still she glides
Within the open door.
I seem to hear her gentle step
Beside me on the floor;
! lift my eyes-'twas but the wind,
The wind, and nothing more.
I sit beside the cottage fire,
It blazes warm and high,
And as sit, hear her knit
How swift the needles fly!
look, and 10! vacant chair,
And seeing that, sigh.
The wailing wind across the moor
Is floating like knell,
The snow is resting, soft and white,
In many feathered swell;
And o! it falleth cold and chill
Within my heart as well.
! miss the precious tones Of love
I've heard for manya year,
And still alone l seem to feel
Her presence near;
But when look, and see her not,
brush away a tear.
travel back the mist of time,
And with thrill of pride
I clasp her little, trembling hand
My graceful, girlish bride;
And ali, I love her better far,
Than all the word beside.
And one by one, the by-gone years
Come gliding to my view !;
l seem to meet her loving eyes,
So beautiful and blue,
And, meeting them softly smiled,
The picture seems SO true.
The clock upon the mantel strikes
/ start-the dream has flown,
I only hear the wailing wind,
So mournful in its tone:
Perhaps it knows an aged man
Is sitting here alone.
Alone! for O, the cofin-lid
Her placid brow hath pressed,
And silent now the loving heart
That throbbed within the beast;
And 0 I! yearn to lay me down
By her dear side and rest
Poor, lonely heart, the weary throb
Will soon be silent here;
For 0, bear the heavy SHOWS
Of many wintry year;
And it lis very sweet to me
To know that death is near.
My pulse grows weaker day by day,
And l am glad to go;
= I shrink not at the chilling flood,
Though cold its pillows flow,
I know fathers guiding hand
Will bear me safely through.
And 10 ! that blissful world beyond,-
/ seem to enter there
seem to hear her welcome sweet
Float on the scented air;
And lift my eyes to greet her own,
And see her vacant chair.

TAXATION.

Tomorrow the citizens Of our town
will be called upon to vote y tax upon
themselves for q subscription to
raise funds to build school house
in. Winchester. The proposition,
as understood by us, is to raise five
thousand dollars by taxation and pri-
vate subscription, and place it in the
hands Of the trustees Of Carrick Acad-
envy, to be disposed Of as they see fit,
50 that it is applied to the purposes des-
ignated, leaving it entirely to their dis
cretionto determine what kind Of a
school they will have, and upon such
plan rs they think proper to adopt
All that we have to say at present is,
we hope if the tax is raised that they
may have betterluck in conducting the
project than they have heretofore had
in regulating the fortunes of Carrick
Academy. We hope th'y may be sure
they are right; then go ahead. So far
as we are concerned, we expect to
hold off until the R'cNp appears more
clearly to our vision than present pros
poets afford. We are never ccStatic
about novelties, and Go not leap fran
tic into the dark at new things, but are
Just enough OF an old fogie to require
some satisfactory evidence that good
may result from our ac;s on such sub
jects. We wish to know why Carrick
has proved failure so far. Has it
been for want of Il better building!--
Ii so how much is necessary to put up
a uitable house! 1t occurs to Us that
two thousand dollars is sufficient Is
there SO much in the lands of the treas
urcr? or could it he raised by selling
the old bui'tins?
We arc not altogether satisfied that
the town can tax itself except ur Coz
poratior purposes. WrjuSt throw out
