Cattle Fair, which he thus describes:

his choice of the stock on sale in the
town and vicinity. Does he wish to mate
horse, or steer, here is the bes, posi-.

hearts of men, which would come out

leisure for spiritual contemplation was

TWILIGHT THOUGHTS.


By 4. rs.

When Nature sinks to rest.
when Luna from her radiant bower
Comes forth in beauty dressed.
When one by one the stars appear
To deck the vaul, above,
Seeming % speak in language dear
~@ or . Redsemer's love. 4.
Reminding Of that other star
Whick shone o'er Bethiehens' way.
Guiding the wise men from afar
10 where the Savior lay.
Now all discordaDt sounds ale ceased,
HasheA is the busy world,
And night from out her ebon homo
Her banner doth unfold.
Now Mem'ry with her shadowy hand
Gl!des back 10 days OF yore.
And from the archives Of the past
Recalls pleasing store
.Offondsst thou ughts-and bids ne wish
Myself again child.
Roaming as then all fancy free.
Unfettcred. rude. and wild.
But now alas those days are fed,
No more roam along
Cntario's banks oil decked with green
And echoing with song.
There on the lank of yam blue ware
Be cath the hroodiug pine.
Sleeps many loved one In her grave
Who's pass-d away from time.
And there the bright waves rs they roll
Their requiem sadly sigh.
While l. in this far western land
Repeat their last goodbye.
