wood, did indeed find M'Donald, who by
the fatality which so frequently attends
the commission Of crime, still fingered on
the scene Of his guilt, although he might
have escaped, at least for the time. But
it is supposed that he had desired to re.
turn by the way which he had come; and
that he was waiting for the disappearance
Of young Wilson, whose position at the
bridge prevented him.
Be this as it may, in the place described

him with the f~erocity of a tiger, he ac-
cused him OF having thrown Mary from
the height. The rufian in his drunken
ness admitted the fact-with some con

:" Internationally or not, you ~rufian.
have murdered her, and dearly you shall
pay for it!' shouted Wilson, fercely; and
IN the next instant, he dashed him to the
earth-for young Wilson was an uncom-
monty strong man-and seizing him by
tue throat, would have strangled him on
the spot. But another thought struck
him. He loosened his hold, and Selling
VI Donald (who was now almost wholly
incapable of resistance, from the process
OF sufocatIon he had undergone) by one
Of his legs, be dragged him down the
path to the bridge. On arriving there
with him, Wilson called out in a hoarse
voice with agitation and excitement, to
his friend to bring him the cord which be
carried 1t was to halter the pony, of
which the latter had been in quest. The
cord was brought. Wilson quick as
thought, took d turn of it round the logs
which formed the bridge, made a running
moose at the other end; forced the latter
over the head of his miserable victim, and
precipitating from the bridge, exhibited
him suspended from it by the neck, and
almost immediately over the identical spot
whore Mary had fallen.
The whole was the work of but q very
few minutes. When the tragedy was
completed, Wilson and his friend carried
Mary home. She was still breathing. but
insensible. On the following morning
she expired; but long ere this, the fire at
the gypsy encampmeut at the Tinker's
Cove was quenehed, their canvass tents
struck, and the inhabitants of those tents
many miles away; and neither the cuckoo
nor the green leaf ever again brought
George Wilson or any of his party back
to the yerdant homes of G~artnaveran.
When the morning sun arose, it shone
on the l~ifeless body Of MDonald, still sus-
pended in the air; and great was the hor-
ror of the neighborhood at the dreadful
spectacle; but when the truth became to
be known, all allowed that it was a just
and well merited retlibution.

In Mernoriam.


Long be wandered, lone and weary,
Traveller through the Northern wilds.
Over snow-clad mountains dreary,
Over lakes Of pine clad isles.
There the wild-wolves, nightly bowling.
Filled with dread the gloomy night.
And the redlnan, iercely scowling.
Sought to daunt him WITH alright.
All in vain: with high endcavor,
Onward still he kept his way;
Dangers dark appalled, him never;
God was still his shield and stay.
With a dauntless resolution,
He had braysd the power of DEATH
Mid the battles wild confusion,
Mid the cannon's sulphurous b: Gath.
Rocks, and streams, and lakes, and mountains
Where no white mans step had trod,
Forests deep and crystal fountains.
And the panthcr's dread abode;
All 70 him were scenes Of gladness.
Thrilling his brave heart with joy.
Which no boding cloud Of sadness
Fer could damper or destroy.
Traveller we'll thy course vas ended;
Age with snow had crowned thy brow.
Twilight hues with night were blended
Thou, ia peace, art resting now,
Thou shalt smile no more at danger,
All thy weary wanderings DER
Mover more, tholL.t roam a stranger,
And the Northern chimes explore.
But thy name, through Time shall brighton,
While a sound is left in air,
While the stars tie earth ealighten;
While the sun emits HIS glare,
Where thy toilsome way was wounded,
Many a thousand mart shall rise;
Many a city's streets, extended.
Point their columns to the skies.
Blooming youths shall learn the story
Of thy pilgrimage below;
Aged danes and grandsircs loary.
Shall exnlt the tale to know.
Rest thee, t~ravelerl Hope, in vision
Seems to point to brighter spheres.
Seems to show a bright elysian,
Par beyond the fight Of years.
There no traveller is weary,
While he walks the golden ~streetsi
There no prospect can be droary;
All is glory that he meets.

meetings are well attended, and that the
exercises are interesting and instructive.

been handed to us for publication:
Re5olcod, That Mary OF Englandis not
deserving the application Of Bloody
Mary"
NJ. Manman, spoke in the affirmative
as follows:
Mr.. President Ladies aud Gentlemen:
The subject of our debate this evening,
is Mary queen Of England the oldest
daughter OF Henry the VIII. She was
born in the year 1916 and assended the
throne 1888 probably the most eventful
period in the whole history Of England;
the Nation was agitaied by differences
ofopinion in matters ofreligion 4 new
religion had recently been established
through the patronage and authority Of
King Henry; this religion was eagerly
imbraced by many preiates and great
number Of the nobility, who were blind
ed by their own ambition and who saw
prospect Of enriching themselves by
robing catholic churches and mouaste-
ries. Although a majority Of the peo-
pie tenaciously adhered to their ancient
worship, yet the system Of persecution
that was waged against those who dared
to differ with King Henry and his sue
cessor, Edward the VI, rendered it ex-
tremely dangerous for them to worship
God according to the dictates of their
own conscience, and history tells Us that
hundreds suffered martFydom and were
burnt at the stake rather than disown
the religion Of their Fathers. This sir
was the state Of the country when Mary
assembled the throne. She was not left
unmolested in the exercise Of her relig-
ion; the most violent threats were made
and the most strenuous endeavors were
used. to induce her to adopt the new re-
licion, but with no effect; she declared
thatrather than offend God and her con-
science by acting against her religion,
death was more preferable than life.
Mary was educated and brought up

The probable rupture in the Cabinet,

cabinet will be recognized.

that Mr.. Summers health is quite poor.
He attempted to walk from the Capitol
TO his lodgings, yesterday, but the re-
turn of the pains in his back were so
severe, that he was put into carriage
and conveyed home. He is far from
being well man, and should avoid all
excitement. He is anxious to resume
his official duties, but is not sufficiently
recovered yet to do SO.
