The other day We went into the cou1-
try some few miles for the purpose Of see
ing a gentleman with whom we had some
business, and GA calling at his residence,
was Informed thai he nas in a certain
field, which was pointed out to US. We
went to the place indicated, and not being
able to perceive the person for whom we
we're in search, We asccnded ferce hard
by to aid us in our observations From
this point Of view we saw man in his
shirt->lccves standing in an adjacent field, ,
and, initiating cur lungs, we sent forth 4
loud halo Apparently we were not
hcarl, as no movement of the person
greeted our eyes, or answering shout sa-
Iutad our ears. Once more We rent the
air with our voice. No return. Again
sucking in about fifteen gallons of the at
mo~phere, we were about TO expand in a
regular whistle yell, when turning our
eyes, We bcheld lad about eight years
old. ha;lcss and coa;less, his hair looking
as if it had just been made the sport of
whiIiwind, while his face was literally
supplied with thick patches Of free soil, -
sitting on the fence short distance from
Us.

at r said the urchin, giving his head a
narrowing scratch With his e'sh, digits.

"M-an,' draviea tie youth. looking in
the direction we pointed, then opening
his mouth until W could have thrown a
tolerable sized potato down his throat, he
fairly shrieked viii, laughter
"What are you laughing at, ninny ?"

thing yer bawlin' at, is dads 'scare-crow.'"
'Is ?" We rejoined, looking about for
a rat hole or knot hole into which we
could crawl
"Uv course" he returned, breaking
out anew. Then suddenly putting on a
sober face, be asked with much apparent
interest, "Mister, did you think it was
your brother 2"

A short time since the wife and family

Happiness reigued throughout the
household.
The day was passed in romPing with

and after them Mrs. L. "How delightful .
What can it be p inquired Miss Lena.
"Some regiment returning from parade,
responded Mr.. L., seating himself quietly
to discuss the elegant dinner he had Or
dercd to be prepared. Just then, o, hor-

able misery and alarm, clasped her skirts

THE OTHER WORLD.

II lies around US like cloud,
"A world We cannot see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
It's gentle breezes fan orir cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whispers love,
And minglc with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb md beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
The silence, awful, sweet and calm,
They have no power to break;
FOR mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem,
They lull as gently to our rest,
They melt into a dream.
And in The hush of rest they bring,
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye, and close the ear
Wrapped in 4 trance Of b ISIS,
And gently drawn in loving arms
To swoon to that from this
Scarce knowing if We wake or sleep,
Scarce assiI where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around us watch US still,
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between US be as naugh.,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your JOY be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.

GUADELOUPE-Januaryl IA.

The Barham from India, with 465 i'm
migrants, arrived on the End, at Pointe-a-
Pitre. The Commercial states that a dy-
s%enteric death having occurred a day be-
fore the ship arrived, she was placed into
quarantine d'ObservatiOn, for seven days, as
a measure of prudence. The captain of
the GLenIora, which arrived about a
month ago with o batch of coolies has
been getting into a scrape with the Qua
deloupe Authorities. The papers say
that, on arrival, both himself and the sur
geon ofthe ship reported that no sickness
existed on board, nor had there been any
deaths on the passage. But, afterwards,
their assertions proved untrue, and they
were brought before the Police Magis-
trate and sentenced TO 5 days imprison-
ment, and to pay "a fine of 60 francs. The
Commercial remarks on this subject
"Let US thank heaven, that these fraudu-
lent declarations, made with the view of
escaping the ennui of a long quarantine,
are not permitted. This novel lesson will
not be lost. It proves that danger prowls
continually around US; and, far from our
sleeping at our post, let us redouble our
precautions"
