GOOD NIGHT.

Good night, my love, the day god sips
His evening cup of wine,
And seek repose on purple clouds
That mark the days decline.
The tinkling of the distant bells
Sweet on the evening gale
Announce the homeward march of herds
Adown the dewy vale.
The dew drop fills the lily's cup
From vintage high above,
Distilled far up the ether stairs
Good night, good night, my love
Good night, the violet mods her head,
The blue-bell shuts her eye
Upon perfumed, messy bed
Where Flora's beauties lie.
The humbird seeks her dewy nest,
The weary robin fUlds her wing;
The gentle swaying linden coughs,
Their leafy curtains fling.
The fredy brings her little lamp
To cheer US with its light,
And crickets chirp their evening song
Good night, my love, good night.
Good night, the Ginning of the bell
From out yon cloister grim,
The fitting hours too truly tell
In hollow accents dim.
The lady moon, in feecy robe,
Her snowy curtains close,
And little stars begin TO blink
'Tis time they sought repose.
The night bird in her leafy bower,
No more our cars delight
Fen she has hushcd her serenade-
Indeed, indeed, good night.

American Title to an English Town.

About 200 representatives of the In.
graham family in the United States met
at the Aston House, New York, one day
last week. Among them were gentlemen
and their wives from all parts of New
York and from Rhode Island, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois,
and California. Mr.. w. j. p. Ipgraham,
of Philadelphia, President of the Ingra-
ham Association, called the meeting to
order, and made verbal report of the ac.
tiou Of the Executive Committee since
their appointment in October last, show
ing that Immediately after the October
meeting, when the family empowered the
Committee to act, they advertised in a
number OF American journals of large
circulation, Offering $4,000 reward for
the original will of Joseph Wilson, Of
Yorkshire, England-a will which was
believed to be somewhere in America. -
The Committee rausacked the country for
information, but without encouraging re-
suits until January last, when they traced
it to two lawyers, but where the Commit
tee did not say. An interview was arran-
ranged, and in March last the custodians
of this long lost and highly priced paper
offered to surrender it for $4,000 in
money and tenth part of the property it
devises. The Committee rejected this
proposition and others but at length, in
June last, they covcnated 70 pay for the
will, as soon as it should be to their salts
faction proved to be genuine, $4,000 in
money aud $50, 900 in the Ingrabam As
sociaton's scrip. The Committee have
satisfied themselves that the descendants
OF Joseph Wilson can, if they choose, es.
tablsh their claim by civil action but
they deem it prudent to purchase the
paper, which will give them clean title
to the property that they claim, since
lawsuit might be tedious and even more
costly than the proceedings which are pro-
posed. Mr.. lngraham having concluded
his remarks, Mr.. Van Dorm, Of Vermont,
informed the meeting that he had made
personal inquiries in the City of Leeds, and
assured himself that all that the American
claimants require is Joseph Cowel's will
to establish their ownership Of every rod
Of land whereon the city is built-every
manufacturer and householder there to
this day being merely tenant, paying
ground rent to agents who assume to rep
resent the lawful heirs, and the larger
manufacturers being dlsirous of finding
somebody who can sell and give them a
perfect title to the lands on which all
their lives they have ben merely squat.
tiers. After remarks by several lawyers
of the family, stock subscriptions were
opened with view to collecting the me-
cessary $4,000, and before the adjourn
ment the sum actually paid or pledged
reached about $4,000. The family will
meet again to day, perhaps, with recruits
aud resume the subscriptions and until
the entire SIC, 900 has been obtained, Or
until it shall become necessary to pay out
the money, the Executive Committee will
deposit the Associations funds with the
Life and Trust Company Of this city.

were bequeathed nearly 20Onyears ago,
