IL The vault Of the bank at MiIlville, N. j.,
was blown open by burglars last Sunday
night, but nothing was taken. a letter from
that town says:
The doors were OF chilled iron, and were
fastened with patent combination lock-
With great exertion the burglars drilled small
hole through the deor into the lock, and in &C.
comprising this they broke all their drills.
Through this they inserted powerful charge
In the lock. The force OF the powder both
burst the outer and inner doors Of the vault
asunder, besides shattering the mason work.
The heavy wrought inner doors were bent like
Dashboard.

I AM NEAR THEE.

/ am near thee darling, near thee,
In each hour that passes by
How my spirit hovers round thee, @
Though unseen by mortal eye.
am near thee when the sunbeams
On the hills and meadows lie,
Aud the leaflets dance 10 gladness
Meath the clear and cloudlcss sky.
When the storm-king sounds his tocsin
To the. spirits of the air,
And the flowers shrink and tremble.
While their cheeks are white with fear.
When the weary day is dying,
And when fades the golden light
When the purple twilight shadows
Gather into darker night.
Then my spirit seeks thine own,
Hope, my darling, to impart,
Till the shadows all are banished
From my lone and weary heart.
