And sigh for one glnnce of your eye;
For sure there's charm, love, about you,
Whenever knew you are nigh.
Like the beam of the star when It's smiling,
Is the glance which your eye can't conceal
And your voice is so sweet and bcguil Ing,
That love you, sweet Nora ONeal.
oh don't think that ever I'll doubt you,
My love will never conceal;
Oh! I'm lonely tonight, love, without you,
My darling sweet Nora o'Neal.
Oh the nightingale sings in the Wildwood
As II every note that he knew,
Was learned from yoursweet voice In childhood
To remind me, sweet Nora, of you.
But think, love, SO often about you,
And you don't know how happy feel;
But I'm lonely tonight, love, without you,
My darling sweet Nora O'Neal.
Oh! don't think that ever III doubt you,
My love will never conceal;
oh I'm lonely tonight, love. without you,

ON! why should weep tears of sorrow?
Or why to let hope lose your place?
Won't meet you, my darling tomorrow,
And smile on your beautiful face?
WIN you meet me? Oh, say will you meet me-
With n kiss at the foot of the lane?
And I'll promise whenever you greet me,
That I'll never be lonely again.
Oh! don't think that ever I'll doubt you
My love will never conceal;

My darling sweet Nora O'Neal.

Cattle on Uninclosed Land.

IN regard to the trespassing of cattle
on uninclosed land, and injuries receiv-
ed by them while wandering thereon,
the supreme court of Pennsylvania
have decided that there Is no liability
on the part of the owner either Of the
cattle or the land and that when the
latter dug pit into which cattle fell,
he was not liable for the injury they
sustained.
In this, and perhaps every other
American state, an owner of cattle is
liable to an action for their browsing on
his neighbor's uninclosed woodland.
But il follows not that because such
browsing is excusable as trespass, it is
matter of right. 1t is an immunity,
not a privilege; or at most, a license re-
vocable at the will of the tenant, who
may turn his neighbours cattle away
from his grounds at pleasure. Their
entry is, in strictness, a trespass, which
for its insignificance, is not noticed by
the law, probably on the foot of the
maxim, de minimis, or perhaps because
it is better that all waste lands should
be treated as common without stint. 1t
certainly saves vexatious litigation.
The particular loss from it is unappre-
ciable, even as subject of nominal
damages, and would probably be held
so, even in England, where waste land
is altogether worthless, But even ifan
owner Of cattle had the right claimed
for him, the tenant would not be bound
to eXpend his money or his labor in
preparing Ills land for the safe and con-
venient enjoyment of it. A man must
use his property so as not to incommode
his neighbOr but the maxim extends
only to neighbors who do not interfere
with or enter upon II. He who suffers
his cattle to go at large, takes upon him
self the risks incident to it. If it We're
not so, a proprietor could not sink a
well or a saw pit, dig ditch or mill
race, or OPEN stone quarry or coal
pit, on his own land, except at the risk
of being made liable for consequential
damage from it, which would be a most
unreasonable restriction of its enjoy

to level a precipice, put fence round a
swamp, or cut down reclining trees. 1t
is enough, in all reason, that his neigh
boris cattle have the range of his forest,
without imposing on him the duty Of
looking to their safety. If the owner
Of them do not choose to enjoy his H.
ccnse on that footing, lei him keep
them at home or sends herdsman along
with them. The law imposes no such
duty on the tenant. (6 Barr, 472.

He had Il shining idea once in his life,
as the following incident will show;
A companion had alluded to the fact
that great fish swallowed Jonah.
"The whale didn't swallow JONAH"
said Jerry; "Jonah swallowed the
whale"
His comrade looked doubtful, ~
though the statement was rather too
much for his credulity.
"Of course he did" said Jerry, urg-
ing the point. at would be no mira
Gle at all for whale to swallow man,
but it would be a big thing for a man
to swallow whale"
Jerry was once member of Miss
Titter's class in Sunday School, but he

or ColiaX, or any other. If it Were
possible that the Republicans should
discard their plain obligations, and start
on an '0lprincipied race for the victory,
we should feel little interest in their
success. But this they will never do.
But our interest in the success of any
candidate will be based upon and meas
ured by his devotion to impartial lib
erty; and here is where we think those
who are now grooming Gen. g., for the
Presidential race are utterly mistaken.
We can eject no Republican on the spOn-

only triumph by the systematic and
thorough enlightenment ofthe masses,
who always vote for what comes to

reason is shown them for voting other

THE TRADE FOR A FARMER.-Every
young man who means to be q farmer,
ought first to learn some mechanical trade
We would rather learn the carpenters and
joincrs than any other, as it will oftencr
come into use on the farm. That farmer
who understands this trade has many ad-
vantages over one who does not and has to
run for mechanic for every little job re-
quired to be done on q farm. Even if he
work but short time OF the trade, say one
season only, under good master, he will
find the knowledge of great benefit to him,
many times. II q young man robust and
healthy, has this trade in connection with
a good practical education, sufficient to quail
ify him as teacher Of district school in
the winter season, is about as good start
in life as any young man can have who is
not furnished with capital ready to his
hand, and the rare faculty to know how to
use il,

EYES.
| sing Of eyes, Of woman's eyes,
A theme from earliest ages sung,
But which, till all of nature dies,
Shall ever bid tue harp be strung.
There is the eye of sober gray, .
Which seems to shadow forth regret,
AS if the spirit mourncd alway
Its starry hopes forever set.
There is the eye of hazel bright,
Which wins and dazzlcs where it falls,
Reviying with its showers of light
The happy bosom it enthralls'
There is the eye Of tender blue,
Soft as the heaven at set Of sun,
Which many BEEN is ever true,
And smiles on all but speaks to one.
There is the eye of darker hue.
Which rivals midnight on her throne;
Now softly bright us streams that through
The shady forests wander lonc
Now like cloud that hides from sight
The beauty of the rolling spheres,
And flashes far with angry light
Or sinking downward melts to tears.
As sagcs loved in ancient days
TO read the heavens when darkness fell.
So on those orbs of black we gaze,
And fccll our inmost bosoms swell.
As lovely as the worlds that lie
Repo>ing in the Nights embrace,
Is the soft meaning of that eye,
And deeper than the bepth Of space
/ ceasc-for al description vain:
Let each one choose the eye he likes,
That mclts the eye or sootles the brain,
Or like the dreadful lightning strikes
But as for me, love those eyes,
No matter what their hues may he,
TO which the hearts warm feelings rise
In ovcrhowing love to me.
Alternate fount of light and tears,
Their smiles are sweet, their sadness too,
And l could joy or grievc for years,
AS those fond eyes might bid me do

pected.-Locally, we have had very barren
results Of leap-year privileges, and the facts
We are about to relate will therefore lie re-
ceived as very extraordinary, as indeed they
are. On Friday last, LIST inst, young NAH
was arrested On the cosnpIsiati Of loving
fair one whom he had failed to make his
wife, after he had accomplished her ruin and
on being informed by Justice Rushing that
hc would have to marry the girl lor go to Jail,
he reluctantly consented to what he deemed
the lesser evil, and Aereupon the nuptiai
tie that usually binds two willing hearts was
performed by tho bland magistrate. But
our young hero was not to be let off 30 easi.
ly-he Flowed not wisely, but tso well !"
and young lady No. was not to be "chcat-
ed out Of her man." as she expressed it, by
such proceeding. She therefore hunted
him up got him away from her rival, and
got renewed assurances of his ''updying
love-" Although informed by the maeis-
trate that her lover was indeed and in truth
q married man, she hurried him off to the
residence Of a clergyman in Allowaystown,
the following evening, where he agam rHg-
mised to be "a loving aud faithful hus,aoi
until separated by DEATH" Immediately af-
ter his second marriage, he visited wife No. !
at her abode, and after staying with lxx nm
hour or 50, be tore himself away, STATING
that he bad promised his mother to stay at
home that night; which he did, but with
wife No. 2 by his side! But tie course Of
false love las well as true) does not run
smooth; and during the sabbath day "his
sin had found him out" All the parties
lived almost within stone throw Of each
other, in the village of Allowaystown, and
soon the double marriage was ventilated, to
the delight Of tho gossips and scandal mon
gers, and the disgust Of all true hearted and
right-thinking persons. The youthful hus-
band Of two wives, both living, was now in
6x-"oh, how happy would he be with eth
er, were the other charmer far away !"-
But they kept close to him, wife No. 2 hav-
ing possession, however; and wife No.
makeing every effort to reclaim him. The
law was invoked, but when the officer ap-
peared, the poor deluded victim Of Lovers
darts was non est, and is now fugitive from
justice as we'll as his martial duties. We
have the names Of the parties, but withhold
them in charity to the guilty, as well as the
victims Of misplaced confidence.

Ex.PrcSldent Plerce-An Ac-
count OF His Quiet Life.
CONCORD N. H.. Feb. 25. ,G8.

~'' 10y AS0s ~ VIZ
The General lives in tidy little cottage
on Main Street, situated on an eminence
overlooking the Merrimac Valley and river,
and a short quarter Of a mile from the busi-
ness part Of the town. His wife and chill
dren are all deceased, and the declining
years of his life arc therefore spent in soil.
tude only broken by the frequent visits Of
personal friends Of whom he has very many.
He does not keep house but boards with Mr..
and Mrs. Williams, who furnish him with
an elegant suit Of rooms on the lower floor
Of their cottage mansion. His most init.
mate personal friend is Hon. Josiah Minot,
President Of the Concord Railroad and a
prominent lawyer and Democratic polite.
ian. He has also warm friend in the per-
son Of lra A. Eastman, his next door neigh
Dor, who, by the way, is also prominent
attorney and Democrat and at one time
during the War; came within five hundred
votes Of being Governor Of New Hamp-
shire. .Ha'.
Some years ago, Mr.. Pierce purchased q
charming building lot about mile west Of
the State. House, in the direction Of Mill
vile, and laid the foundation Of large and
beautiful homestead; but while he was in
the midst of prosecuting these plans, which
he had long had in view, his partner in life
passed away, and he at once abandoned the
whole enterprise, and what would have
been undoubtedly one of the finest mansions
in Concord is now heap Of decaying mo-
sonry. He has, however, a nice little "cot-
tage by the sea, in the vicinity known as
Boar's Head, Hamton Beach, where he
spends the summer months. Within a
short time he has become member Of the
Episcopal Church in Concord, Of which he
is regular and devout attendant. Much
Of his time, when health permits, is devot-
ed to the poor, and it is most unqucstiona-
bly, true that he dispcnses aid most liberally
to all objects Of charity which may come to
his notice. He does not wait for person
in distress to apply, but learning Of misery,
he searches for it personally, and extends
sympathy and relief whenever it is needed,
whether among the Anglo Saxon or sable
race.
In social life is the same kind and genial
man that he was in White House, and while
many despise and abuse him for his politi.
cal creed, there are few, if any, who vii,
not defend him against any reproach that
may be brought against him as q man,
philanthropist and an honest and practical
Christian. In brief, he is as thorough
member of the human family as he is Of the
Democratic party. When not confined to
his rooms by illness he makes daily visit
down town." and occasionally venturesl
few miles outside of Concord's limits to
pass day or two with some old friend
