Cnder the clif walk 10 silence,
While the intrepid waters flow,
And the white birds liz By the sun into silver,
Glitter distinct gains. the blue below;
And the tide is low.
Here, years ago, In the summer weather,
Under the elf and close to the sea,
A pledge was given that made me master
or all thst ever was dear 10 me;
And the tide was low.
Only little year hed by after,
Then nv bride and came once more,
And saw the sea like bird imprisoned,
Beating its wings gain-t its bars the shore.
And the tide was low.
Now walk alone by the flmy breakers
A voice 10 hushed can never orget;
Over my sea dead calm abideth,
Ny ships are hsrbored. my sun is set,
And the tide is low.

MARRIAGE AND DIvoRcE.-ln the small
State Of Connections it is stated that no less
than four hundred and Lightweight divorces
have been granted durirg the past year.
Cine lawyer in the Connecticut Legislature
said in debate that he had himself procured
within tic year three divorces for one wo-
man Connecticut has been called the " land
of steady habits" and there was period
when hc beast was just ore, but according
to this showing. it must have fallen from its
first. estate. The relations of polygamy among
tie Oricntals, and even in Utah, are really
more respectable than such state of things,
In :scycral Of tie Western States the same
dcraoral;zing leniency exists in granting the
dissolution of the marriage lie. And even in
the great Staie Of New York, where the law
requires the safeguard of actual residence,
and prescibcs only inhielity to the marriage
VOW, desertion for five years, or great person
al cruelty as the justfying causes of divorce,
it is sid that so close secrecy may be main
taiucd in proceedings for divorce that parties
sometimes find themselves divorced before
they have learned that procecdinge have been
commenced. The advertising columns of the
New York papers contain cards Of certain at
torncys who offer to procure divorces with
out publicity, and these men manage the
preliminary proceedings SO as to make it ap-

pear that the defendant had been duly SUM-
moned, when probably the only notice has
been published in an obscure corner of ar
obscure newspaper which the defendant has
never seen. The court turns the case ever tc
o referee, who. in some obscure Office, listens
to er parts testimony, reports cause OF di-
vorce to the court, and the latter then grants
the separation. Tho very purposes of the
marriage law are defeated by these devices Of
fraud and secrecy. Tho welfare Of society
demands that al. the proceedingsfor divorce
should be prominently published in leading
journals, and be thoroughly investigated in
open courts. All history establishes the in
timate relation. between national morals and
soundness of the marriage tie. There has
been no more invariable precursor of ruin Of
liberty than the prevalence Of licentiousness,
and there can be no greater incentive to
licentiousness than to permit these marriage
relations to be readily Observation-Disclosures

moment from beneath pair ofanxious sbag-
ged eye brows. 80
81 am told, friend, that you are very
poor.' dr. ta
"Therc is no denying the fact, Senor-it
speaks for ITSELF" na
~ presume that you will be glad of a job
and work cheap"
GAS cheap, my master, as any mason in
Grenada" .,.
That's what l want. I have an old house
fallen into decay, that costs me more money
than it is worth, to keep it in repair, for no
one will live in it; so I must contrive to
patch it up at as small an expense as posi-
ble."
The mason was accordingly conducted to q
large deserted house that seemed going to
ruin. Passing through several empty halls
and chambers he entered an inner court,
where his eye was caught BY an old Moorish
fountain. He paused for moment, for dream
ing recollections of the place very distinctive
ly came over him.
"Pray," said he, " who occupied this house
formerly 2'
GA pest upon kim!" cried the landlord,
sit was an old miserly priest, who cared for
nobody but himself. lie was said to be i'm
mensely rich, and, having no relations, it was
thought he would leave his treasure to the
church. He died suddenly and the priest
and frairs thronged to take possession Of his
wealth, but nothing could they find but few
ducats in leathern purse. The worst luck
has fallen to me, for, since his death, the olu
fellow continues to occupy my house without
paying rent, aud there's no taking The law of
dead man. The people pretend to hear the
clinking of gold all night in the chamb
where the old priest Slept as if he were count
ing over his money, and sometimes groan,.
ing and moaning about the court. Whether
true or false, these stories brought bad
name on my house, and not tenant will
remain in it."
Enough" said the mason sturdily let
me live in your house, rent free, until some
better tenant presents himself, and [ will
put it ia repair, and quiet the troubled spirit
that disturbs it. | am a good Christian and
poor man, and am not to be daunted by the
devil himself, even though he should come
in the shape ola bag Of money.
The offer of the honest mascn was gladly
acc pied; he moved with his family into the
house and fulfilled all his engagements. Ey
little he restored it to its former state; the
clinking of gold was no more heard at night
l.. the.nh anl=r Of the defnrct priest, but be
gan 10 be heard by day in thc p6cEet OF the
living mason. In word he increased rap
idly in wealth, 10 the admiration of all his
neighbors end became one Of he richest
men, in Grenada he gave large sum to
the church by way, no doubt OF satisfying
his conscience, and never revealed the secret
of the vault Until on his death ''od, to lis
son and heir.

Georgia Scenes.

old Stanwix tells the follow Georgia
story, and voichcs for lis tru:hfu."ess
About tLiriy-,Lree and = t!:irt rta~s ago
there dwelt in one of tile rnraI districts oi
Georgia, an Old codger BY The name Of
Butt Cut Taylor, who Lad formerly enjoyed
tie donors and emolumcnts pcrla ting TO the
Office OF Justice Of the Peace, IT,: dGtics oi
which tillce he discharged with acknow lcds
ed liability" and dignity; and so lar as lis
neighbors were capable Of Judging, he ap-
peared to be very honest maa. lie had'
however, acquired the habit of tramping
up" accounts against the estates OF those OF
his neighbors who were so unfortunate as 10
"shuills off their mortal coils" within the
bounds of his baliwick. He had carried the
practice to such an cXtent.as to arouse sus-
picion in the minds of some of his mcddlc-
some ncighbors, that there. might be 'scme
thing dead somewhere in the IS seat OF his"
financial operations. Bob Crosan, who
lived in the ncishborhood, and :" run" the
post Office at the cross roads, icing something
of a wag. and having an ideattat the 'SquiFe's
honesty should be quoted below par, concu-
dcd, with tie connivance and assistance of
few comrades, 10 d" "unearth the sly old fox"
and expose his rascaities. Accordingly Bob
pretended to dc, was rogu'arlarly shroudcd
and laid out on the cooling loard in the rcst
approved fashion, and sorrewins friends pro-
cecded 10 spread the news OF his demise,
which soon reached the cars oi "A Butt Cut.
He lost no ime in repairing to lie house Of
mourning, carrying with him "iull ard
complete ass ..rtment'' Of fist cl.a,, coincidence
and sympathy, for gratuiious distribution
among the members of the bcrcaved family,
and the many sorrowing friends of the sup
posed deceased, who were present when he
arrived. After be had relieved lis heart oil
his burden of healing words, aod had sue
cceded in a toerab!c effort at crying, and was
about to leave the scene, he tcu''crly spoke
as follows:
"Ab, poor Bob; I'm sorry he died, he was
good leler, and allus liked him. When
me and him went to the races at Augusta
now nigh unto two years ago-l loaned him
hundred dollars to bet onto bay mare,
ard be lost and has never paid me cent ol
that money from that day to this. Poor
fellow, he forgot it 1 reckon, but its an hon
est debt; OF course can get it out of lis es'
tate, and"
Butt.Cut didn't finish the sentence, for
just at this point Bob, tho corpse, slowly
raised up in his shrod, and stretched out his
arms toward the old rogue, as if to clutch
him, yelled:
{" You are an Internal old liar, and if"
The din and roar drowned the rest, and old
Butt Cut didn't wait TO see or hear anything
more, but with the hurried exclamation,
" goddlcmity," he shot through The door, bur,
ried 10 his home, packed his traps" and not
only left the neighborhood but the State OF
Georgia, forever.

Sentinel Songs.
By Rev. FATHER A. ]. RYAN.

When sinks the soldier brave,
Dead at tho feet of Wrong,
The poet sings-and guards his grave
With sentinels of Song.
Go Songs"-he gives command
"Kcep faithful wutch.and true;
The living and dead of the Conquered Land
Have now no guards save you
"And, Ballads! mark yc well,
Thrice holy is your trust;
Go out to the fields where warriors fell,
And sentinel their dust"
And the Songs, in stately rhyme,
With softly sounding tread,
March forth-to watch till the end Of time,
Beside the silent dead.
And when the foeman's host IN
And hate have passed away,
oxr guard of Songs shall keep theiE post
Around our soldiers clay.
A thousand dawns may glow,
thousand days may wahc,
The deathless songs where the dead lie low,
True to the last, remain.
Yea, true They will not yield
To tyrants or to time,
At ev'ry grave and on ev'ry field
Where men died deaths sublime.
Lone visls they will keep,
Obedent to their Bard,
And they will watch when We shall sleep
Our last and only Guard.
What though our victors say
No column shall be built,
Above the graves where the men in Gray
Lie mould'ring in their guilt? 4..
All let the tyrant curse
The dead he tramrles down.
Our strong, brave songs, in their sweet, sad vets
Fear not the tyrant's frown.
What though no sculp;urcd shaft
Commemorate our Brave?'
What though no monument epitaphed
Be built above their grave?
When marble wears away,
And monuments are dust,
The Songs that guard our soldiers clay
Will still fulfill their trust.
