The recent brilliant successes of this intrepid OIL

country with hope. Despisng the use Of the spade

forces in spirit and their confidence and az
fiction by his personal sacrices-hs dilgent atten
ton to their corporal wants-hs indomitable ener
gy and industry-his sleepless vigilance and his
dashng successes against the enemy. If retreat be
necessary at any time, he forecasts to preserve his
stores, provisions and clothing from destruction.
He never loses any thing 5y movement, but always
gains-a sine qua non in generalship which many
of our West Pointers seem never to have learned. ..
In three weeks he has fought three pitched battles
and gaineG victory every time-equalling Bona
parte in the completeness of his strategy, though
smaller scale, and in the suddenness and overpow-
erng character of his attacks. He is no mere theo
rizer but a man of work and practical common
sense, whose fame will continue to grow he ad-
vances Sterling Price and "Stonewall" jackson

superiors in scientific warfare system which may

of bread and pound of meat are important and

Huzza for jackson Huzza for Price! They
keep their own secrets-plan their own campaigns

IT'S Of Thee I'm Ever Dreaming.


&
Where art thou, dearest2 ....
Shall those eyes of azure blue
Never more my vision cheer2
Shall my path no more be 'liven'd
By thy merry voice? .t..
All be hushcd, dark and dreary,
. Where thy welcome tones were heard Z
Let me linger near thy dwelling,
Let me dream again of thee;
Chase away those angry feelings,
Live, and fondly think of me.
Think that am ever loving,
Ever breathe prayer for thee;
On the wild and troubled ocean,
There, cen there, thy form see.
Dark and stormy was the evening,
When thou bade me love no more;
Darker still has been the tempest,
Since l could not thee adore.
All twas cruel fate to sever
Hearts devotion from its shrine;
Cruel fate thus to never
Give heart to love as mine.
Loving fondly, trusting ever,
Thou shalt be forever dear;
Storms may dash and pillows roll,
Still thy star shall guide me on;
Still one purpose shall embolden
My frail bark to stem the gale,
IT'S that yet thou'lt raise the anchor,
:. And one breeze shall gil each sail.

CURIOUS LEGAL DECISION There
has lately occurred in Germany, before q
Rhenish Court, trial il which the judg-
ment finally delivered on appeal would
seem to conflict literally, if not essentially,
with the old common law maxim that a
landholder owns from the soil upwards
even to heaven. The case and proceed
ing are thus reported: M t.s5
A man possessed some nut trees, Of
which the branches hung over the ground
Of neighbor, who picked up the ripe
nuts that fell from the tree, and also
broke some branches. For this the lat
ter was prosecuted for theft and ,.trespass,
but acquitted On the ground that be was
entitled to profit BY fruit growing over
bis own property. Appeal was made
from this decision, and the Judgment re-
versed by tho superior tribunals, because
the principles Of civil law ordain that al
fruit and branches belong to the stem, and
the stem to him upon whose ground it is
planted, and that the right Of properly 81
the latter does not cease with the extern
sion over neighbor's ground, no matter
how far this extension The accused was
consequently condemned on both counts.

Around the cabin table that night,
about an hour before we entered the har-
Dor Of Montreal, we learned her history.
She was the daughter Of merchant who
owned the line of boats, one of which she
had just saved from ruin. Her mother
died when she was child, and her father
yielded to her wishes and allowed her to
accompany him on the boat Of which he
was captain. By degrees she became ac-
quainted with every bend in that beautiful
river, while calm and storm alike brought
scenes of beauty to her eye She was
now on her way TO visit some friends at
Quebec, where her father proposed joining
her to spend the winter.
A gentleman artist sketched her like
ness on a leaf of his portfolio, as she stood
at the wheel wrapped in the pilots coat,
with the glass in her hand, and her full
length portrait still graces the gallery of
fine arts in Montreal. Many a rough hand
grasped the snowy fingers at parting, and
many blessing crowned that noble head.
A magnificent diamond bracelet bearing
upon an inside plate, the name Of the
vessel and date Of the occurrence, was
presented to her about a week after her
arrival in Quebec, by passengers who were
on board at the time, while loud and tri-
umphant were the praises borne to the
ears Of fond parent of the noble conduct
of that frail but fearless one who had
braved the danger before which stout
hearts and strong forms had quailed.
"And what became of her afterwards ?"
l inquired. 77
She married an officer in Quebec, and
her children still live there. One is no

THE PILOTS STORY.

Many years ago, when was so small a
boy as to hardly recollect it now, my
brother and myself were placed on board
one of the St. Lawrence river steamers as
cabin boys and walters, with view to be-
come pilots when we were older. That was
nearly fifty years ago, and boats were not
fitted up in the style they are now, nor
were good pilots thing to be found every
day. We had run up and down several
times, when, one morning, about ten
o'clock, we stopped at Brookyille 10 take
on board as usual, a government pilot to
guide US down the river.
It was late in the season, and we had a
strong wind the night before, leaving the
river rough, and our usual pilot had hard
work to keep the boat in its proper track,
while it brought US into Brookville two
hours later than the usual time. The
clouds overhead still looked cold and the
wind blew fresh and strong, and making
all possible haste we again put out of the
harbor and were soon bounding on our
way. Throughout the morning noticed
an anxious look on the captains face,
which bespoke his uneasiness about the
final termination Of our journey.
We had o good many passengers on
board; and although we usually reached
Montreal by four o'clock in the afternoon,
we should be delayed until six, if not
later. About ten miles this side Of La
chine a storm of rain commenced, which
rendered it almost impossible to guide the
boat at all, while the rapids Of that name,
the most terrific in the whole river, were
yet to be passed. The pilot was one Of
the best on the route, but man Of pas
sionate temper, with peculiar logged
look. Between him and the ordinary
boat pilot there existed an old grudge,
which had once or twice led to blows,
when they came in contact with each
other. That morning, while passing one
Of the higher falls, they stood together at
the wheel, when, owing toithe strong cnr-
rent,of the water and the almost exhaust
ed strength Of him who had guided Us all
the night, one Of tho spokes slipped from
his bands and nearly caused an accident

How Uncle James got along with His
h Neighbors. na. 800 Ak.

u
Not many years since, person from
the land ofsteady habits, strayed into the
region Of Princes bay and purchased q
fine residence near the water he was
Enthusiastically austere, penurious and
unneighborly his lands were SO situated
that the oystermen had to pass across
them to reach the boats, for which he ex-
acted toll from each man; he had control
over the water of the creek, where it was
necessary they should plant them to fat Or
freshen; for this privilege each man was
made to pay SO much per bushel or forego
the privilege. This exacting spirit Of
the man soon excited the hatred of the
oystermen-they turned the tables on
him, and annoyed him in every way their
ingenuity could invent. On returning
at night from town, he would often find
the draw of the bridge swung aside, or
something the matter with the gate SO
that he could not get in. In word, Mr..
lite Barnacle was finally obliged to sell
out and leave to get rid of his own pet
tishness and illiberality he had melted to
retaliation. ~ !"
This place was purchased by kindly
old gentleman whom we shall call, as
everybody else did, Uncle james; he had
been long familiar with seafaring life;
and he knew the character of the men
with whom he had to deal. He was not
long settled in the place before delega-
tion Of oystermen waited upon him; he
received them as one neighbor should
another, in friendly manner. They had
called to say that they wished to lay their
oysters in his creek, and wished to know
how much he would charge them for the
privilege.
"I wish to be neighborly, and to have
good neighbors around me-" said Uncle
James, "and shall not disagree with you;
plant your oysters there and welcome, and
give me what you think it worth"
"But," says they, 1--WE would like to pass
across your land, from your house to the
shore, it is nearer, what shall we pay
you ?"
"Put the bars up as you 60 along, and
when you see the cattle in, drive 'em out,
said Uncle James, dthat is all I ask"
They took drink Of apple.jack and
parted From time to time bushel of
the finest oysters would be set down at
Uncle James door, and he would hardly
known who committed the depreciation
The year passed away, and there was no
complaint to make Of any unneighborly
conduct on either side. They met for q
settlement at Uncle James house, the
apple.jack was brought out, and all took
smile; after which the question was
again put by the oystermen: Il y sa',
elbow much shall we pay you, Uncle
James, for the use Of the creek ?"
off it has been Of any benefit to you"
replied the old man, ''you can give me
what you can afford. $3.50 $1,000
One put down ten dollars, another TWEEN
ty, some more some less, until nearly FIVE
hundred dollars were voluntarily paid;
which was more than double the sum
which lite Barnacle extorted by menace
and meanness from the same men. +.
