The elopement case in New York, was
brought to sudden and unexpected conclu-
sion on Thursday. The "bride Of an hour"
to the astonshment of a crowded court room,
appeared in court, and in reply to the Judge,
declared that since her marriage she had
been with her brother, part of the time with
a friend in the country, and for the last few
days at the house of married lady in the
city. She also declared that she did not de-
sire, and would not return to her husband.
This put an end TO the whole affair, and the
bride" left the courtroom with her mother
and friends, while the bridegroom" looked
perfectly bewildered at the turn things had
taken.

PM WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.

u = !
Pm WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS. r.3
I'm with you once again, my friends,
= No more my footsteps roam:
Where it began my journey ends,
Amid the scenes of home.
No other chimes has skies so blue,
Or streams so broad and clear. -.
And where are hearts so warm and true
As those that meet me here?
Since last with spirits wild and free,
pressed my native strand, g.
I've wandered many miles at sea, 7Fs>
And many miles ON land:
I've seen fair regions Of the earth
With rude commotion torn, f5,r.-,
Which taught me how to prize the worth
Of that where was born.
In other countries when I heard
The language of my own, 80 so
How fondly each familiar word
Awoke an answering tonei
But when our woodland songs were sung
Upon foreign mart,
The vows that faltered on the tongue
50 With rapture filed my heart!
My native land ! I turn to you, .ssiA
With blessings and with prayer,
Where man is brave and woman true
And free as moontain air.
Long may our flag in triumph wave,
Against the world combined, SOS
And friends welcome-foes grave,
Within our borders find. tf

From the Glencoe Register.
A New Field for EntCrcr1ee.

We have elsewhere called attention to the
report Of an exploring expedition to Assini-
boia, from which we have made copious eX-
tracts, showing the value Of that country as
an agricultural district. But while the impor-
tance to our State of opening a speedy COM
munication with that country can hardly be
oyerrated- d-asidc from this, and supposing
there is no prospect of a speedy communica-
ton with that land for years-the country, in
itself as it is, has ATTRACTIONS for class OF
young men, which we venture to say cannot
be found elsewhere. Our large towns and cit
les contain an immense numbers of young
men who pine away and shorten their lives
by indoor occupations disagreeable and I'M
healthy to them, who, if they would break
away and live ayear or two upon our bor
ders, would feel the glow of returning health
ana enjoy the excitement Of camp-life and
aud the chase BY going to Assinboia, they
would find healthy climate, lovely coun-
try, and would live romantic life. And if,
in a year or two, they wished to return to
their old home, they could do so with new
| lease of life and an independence of feeling
and enlargement of vision. But if they
| should wish to remain in the new country
| and engage in the more sober occupations of
| lfe-and we think many of them would
| they would find ample facilities for so doing,
and would feel certain that in few years civ
lization in its rapid progress north and west
would reach them and surround them with
all the refinement and luxury of their old
home. .-..
