MARY'S DREAM

The moon had climbed the highest hill
Which rises DER the source of Dee,
And from the eastern summit shed
Her silver light on tower and tree;
When Mary laid her down to sleep,
Her thoughts on Sandy far at sea;
When soft and low q voice she heard
Say, Mary, weep no more for me.
She from her pillow gently rais'd
Her head, to ask who there might be
She saw young Sandy shivering stand,
With pallid cheek and hollow eye.
Oh! Mary, dear, cold is my clay,
1t lies beneath the stormy sea;
Far, far from thee sleep in death,
Sc, Mary, weep no more for me.
Three stormy nights and stormy days,
We tossed upon the raging main
And long We strove our bark to save,
But all our striving was in vain;
Fen then, when horror child my blood,
Ny heart was filrd with love for thee;
The storm is past, and I'm at rest,
So, Mary, weep no more for me.
o maiden dear, thyself prepare,
We soon shall meet upon that shore,
Where love is free from doubt and care,
And thou and shall part no more.
Loud crew the cock, the shadow fed,
No more of Sandy could she see;
But soft the passing spirit said,
Sweet Mary, weep no more for me.

A Kiss IN THE DARK.-Some energetic cries
disturbed the quietude Of Larned street night
before last and called TO the aid of a suffering
female quite a crowd Of sympathizing and val
liant individuals. The cause Of the row, in the
shape Of couple Of well-dressed young men,
disappeared around the corner with coat tails
flying, as the rescuers rushed in from ell direc-
tions, and the victim was found in the person
OF very much disheveled young lady, who
was engaged in the interesting occupatian Of
sobbing and signing as though her heaat would
break. Between the tears and the sots il Was
difficult for q time to ascertain the exact nature
of the outrage that had been perpetrated, but
ii finally TRANSFERRED that sne had been severe
ly-kissedl That's great things to squall
about" quoth one Of the fstigued rescuers,
who had run half mile At top speed, where
upon she dried her tears, and intimated that il
wasn't 30 much the kissing as Il was the time
| and place. and. worse than all, the scare. She
demurred to dispensing her fsvors under such
circumstances She had been out to spend the
evening with her bosom friend, Susan Jane
and, for lack of beau, was going home alone
when she Unexpectedly ran into the arms of ,
couple Of scape-graces, who improved the op
portunity to taste unbidden the sweets Of be-
maiden lips. She vowed to tempt such rud
courtesies no more, and with palpitating hear
wended her way to the patevnal mansion.

They have clearly another ideal, towards which
they develop as their own Law of growth and pro
gress. The Prince of Wales is q bit of the true
stsck, and shows then what they have all come
from. The quieter he is the better he shows
what the English gentleman ought to be, and the
American also. Nobody can quarrel with him
there, even on the score of Obtrusive talents or
SNOWY service. The Prince of Wales has made
many friends in the New World and evidently
not one enemy. That alone would be worth .
Royal visit to the United States. 1t may prove
to that touchy race how lite we wish to quarrel
with them. Within the limits of reason there 10
not point that England would not gladly con.
cede TO secure her from a quarrel with her own
flesh and blood. One look at the Prince Of Wales
ought to convince the citizens of the United
States that England of 1860 and England of ITO
are very different things.

He besought the Sheriff to attend to the hang

Sheriff complied with his request. On the plat

He then addressed tho people, thanking his

When all at once he drought up" right
