Select Poetry
TWENTY YEARS,

beg your pardon, old fellow, I think
was dreaming just now when you spoke;
The fact is, the musical cliuk
of the Ice on your wine.goblet's brink
A chord Of my memory woke. g
And J stood in the pasture field. where
Twenty summersago had stood,
And ! heard in that sound, l declare.
The clinking Of bells on the air
VI the cows coming home from the weed.
Then the apple. blossoms shook on the hill;
And the mnllen-stalks timed each lanee;
And the sun behind Ralpave's Mill
Was my uttermost west, and could thrill
Like the ultima thule Of romance.
Then my friend was hero, and then
Ny girl was an augel. In fine, >
! drank buttcrmilk, for at ten t1e 81
Faith asks less to aid her, than when
At thirty We doubt over wine. m .il
Ab, we'll, It does seem that ! must
Have been dreaming just no W when you spoke
Or lost, very like, in the dust
0f the years that slow fashioned the crust
On the bottle whose seal you last broke.

A PASSING WISH
BY ALICE CARY.

O for the life of Gypsy.
strong-armed, barefoot girl:
And to have the wind for waiting mad
TO keep my hair in curl;
70 bring me scent of the violet,
And the red rose, and the pine:
And at night to spread my grassy bed
All! wouldn't it be divine:
o for the life OF Gypsy.
SO gloriouSly free;
Through the world to roam, and to find a home
Meath every greenwood tree;
To milk my COW in the meadow,
Wherever she CHANGED to stand;
And TO have my corn-telds planted
BY every lad in the land!
Q for the life of a Gypsy,
With the dew to fringe my gown;
And 10 have the sun for a sweetheart
TO comcc and kiss me brown;
To take each little chubby-cheek
That chose, and call her mine,
And teach her to tramp from camp TO camp
All, wouldn't it be divine:
@ for the life of a Gypsy.
To lie in the lazy shades;
And TO predict sweet fairinS>
To all the village maids;
To give them caps of pretty flowers.
And shawls OF wool so white,
And troops of lovers to sing them songs
Al their window-panes at night
q for the life of a Gypsy.
TO hunt the hare for play;
And to take my trap on my shoulder
And HE away and away
Away to the tents by the water,
When the stars began to shine
10 my glad wild crew, with hearts 50 true
All wouldn't it be divine:
@ for the life of Gypsy!
To DE up ut the dawning gray;
And to have my dog, like my shadow,
Beside me all the day;
70 have hat Of plated straw,
And Il cloak of scarlet dye,
And shoot like light rhronghthe elenS At night
And make the oWlets cry.
o for the life of Il Gypsy!
10 roam the wide world through
TO have the wind for waiting maid.
And the sun for a sweet heart true:
TO say 10 my restless conscinece,
Be still you are no more mine.
And 10 hold my heart beneath my art

took to the boats, and after a hard struggle
with the surf finally gained the shore with
out loss of life They were completely COW

as cold as it is in this section in midwinter
The place where they landed was as wild
and inhospitable as could be imagined, and
after wandering about in an almost perish
ing condition, found, about five miles from
shore, a house occupied by two Canadians,
who gave them shelter The nearest habita-
ton to this was trading station, about thirty
miles off, belongingto the Hudson Bay Com

this place eleven days, occupying their time,
when possible, in stripping the wreck. For

affair happening in that place on Satur-

MONTICELLO, Ca, Nov. 20, 1863.
EDITORS TELEGRAFH AND MESSENGERS -
On Saturday evening last. the 9th inst a
young man arrived at Kelly's hotel. in this
village. travelling on horseback, registering
as >. W Boyles, Macon, Noxubee county.
Mississippi. His conduct on his arrival was
so strange as to attract the attention of the
proprietor of the hotel and others, as he
seemed excited and wild, although not under
the influence OF drink. Shortly after his
arrival he purchased at one of the stores a
revolver. at another box of pistol cartrid-
ges- Supplying himself with writing mate
rial. he retired to his room, where he adj
dressed a letter TO his mother another to his
cousin at Macon. NoXubee county. Missis
sippi also note TO Mr.. Kelley, proprietor
of the hotel, in which he asked decent in
terment- the mailing of his letters, aud that
his horse should be taken care of until his
brother came for him. This occupied him
until about IL O'Clock in the morning.
About that hour the inmates of the hotel
were aroused By the report of pistol in the
direction of his room. followed shortly af
forwards By four reports. On repairing TO
his room. Mr.. Boyles was found lying on the
bed, wounded on the left side, Immediately
over the region of the heart, The last four
shots were fired by him to attract assistance
His reason for this rash act. as ascertained
from his letters and statements. was a disap-
pointment in iove-a young lady living in
South Carolina having lately rejected his
addresses.
He now lies dangerously wounded at the
hotel of Mr.. Kelly, receiving every atten-
ton from the physicians and young men OF
the town.
] he sad occurrence has been telegraphed
to his mother. He seems to be a young
man of intelligence; not more than 81 or p
years old; of good address. and says he vas
a Confederate soldier. and formed the at
tachment for the young lady who has so
darkened his hopes, while in service in
South Carolina
