LOYAL "gGATHERING.
[REPoETED FOR THE GAZETTE


3 The young moon had just proclaimed the
story Of her birth, and sunk gracefully.be

to darkness, when a dim glim, away up in.the
northeast window, Of that renowned sky par

our attention, land called wildly to mind the
tight Of other nights, and the many curious
scenes, We had witnessed, in times gone by,when
the Ferrets used mostly to congregate in that
self same place.. bent on dark but bloodless
deeds

iron steps, we were met at the door of what Is
ycept the "Court Room by an old familiar
face, and pleasantly informed that it was no
use" the assemblage Of the brethren was too
small = there would be no meeting nothing to
put in the paper-migbt as we'll go home !
and with these kindly greetings, our frlend-not
wishing to appear in t-''vamoosed the
rancho, and as the echo of his recediug foot
steps died away upon the air, we could but
wonder why it was that fate should impel ham,
| always to side against himself. Notwithstanding
