THE EXILE.

With footsteps worn and weary,
He wandered home to die,
When the summer flowers were blooming
And the winds went softly by;
For his heart was fondly yearning
For his ow n bright sunny skies,
Where loving hands might smooth his brow
And close his dying eyes.
He pinned for those home voices,
To hear each kind ly tone
Thrilling once more upon his ear,
A Joyous welcomeh home.
To meet wife's beal ming smile,
A sisters warm cafess;
O, these he deemed might death disarm
OF half its bitterness.
Once more that quiet home-path
The weary wanderer prest
And his sinking form was palsied
Close to each yearning heart,
A sisters smile, wfe's Gears,
Were mingled with his own;
The first, for many weary years,
His care-dimmed eye had known.
When the autumn winds were waiiDg
Amid the forest trees
And the withereG leaves were falling
In every passing brefze.
Colby and tenderly
They laid him down TO rest,
And kind friends placed with gentle hands
The green turf on hiS breast.

SILENT MEMORIES.

Dedicated TO B'"**. s. M'''"'
BY J. e COOK.
"Sient memories are stirring"
Thoughts Of years, which long have flown
10 my ear, are voices ringing,
Voices, which long since have gone.
Gone forever Soul{ that wander,
Through Elysians happy Bow'rs,
Angel spirits, who mhy ponder,
Ger this darken'd world of ours.
Silent memories nd W they rush,
Ger the spirits ire NIB ling chords,
While my very brea th, hush,
List'ning, to depar Jed words
y their music, low and sweet,
As it breaks upon my soul,
Voices loved, my hea rt will greet,
Silent mem'ries, o Ter me roll.
Silent memories, Of lhe hours,
Which in youthful boy have past
Bright spots, mid our darkend bowers
Thoughts that 'hot sh all time shall last
Memories bright, of Wood and stream,
Gushing music, with its thrill,
Beauteous landscape, htPpy dream,
Scenes like these, my spirit fill.
Scenes, which sweeping Time, can never,
Blot, from my undying soul:
Ties, which Death will fail to sever,
Growing bright, while ages roll.

THE DErRoIr ELopEMENT.--Havin
some time ago published an account oil the
elopement OF young and pretty white
girl the daughter of wealthy farmer,
with an ugly negro, in the vicinity of De-
troit, Michigan, We now give the follow.
ing description of their subsequent style Of
living -
The style Of living which the young
woman was Introduced to on the first day
OF the honeymoon is worth noticing.
Her sable lover, in pursuance of an lnten'
ton to Set up housekeeping. bought some
dishes and old furniture, and the two mo-
we'd into board shaniy in the back part
oi Windsor. This was in the negro
quarter, which, il is needless to say COM
prises several quarters Of the whole town,
and was surrounded by about fifty more
negro shanlies. The occupants OF these.
quite taken by surprise. turned out en-
masse, and the bridal calls of the young
wife consisted Of an indiscriminaie rush of
darkies of all ages. sexes. colors and vail
cites. The only room she had was filled
with these odorous visitors, from NOR.
ming till night. who gazed a. her with
open mouths. while lille ebonies climbed
on the roof, peeped in the windows, and
stole her corn bread.
"It is estimated by competent Windsor
authorities that she received a thousand
calls the first day. How she go, through
with her receptions is unknown. but con-
sidering the fact that she had been brought
up in decency. i. is natural to suppose that
her stomach must have rebelled occasion
ally, Notwithstanding the inculcalions Of
her father, who believed them good
enough for her until they actually got
her. The story which The parent circu-
lated. to the effect that she was insane,
and that he should pu. her in an asylum,
is all bosh. No insane asylum will admit
her,ss she has not given the slightest sign
Of insanity"
