The dusky shadows filed the empty chamber,
And played at bo-peep with them where they
stood
Stood watching how with each slowdying ember
Faded the old time and the ancient good.
Prone down upon the floor they sat; the fire
Cast a rich glow over her Bonded head;
And to himself What bounds to the desire
Tam carl capitis ~ he softly said.
"what did you sayr she asked. Nay, nothing,
only
That. when You go, the world is cold and wide
And /, think, will be little lOnely!'
Then they both ceased from words, and either
sighed.
Out of the darkened corners now, grotesquer
Than e'er before the shadows peeped and peered:
And one drew near, like some gray-hooded mas
quer
Among his gayer fellows summed and feared
And. looking at her under furtive eyelids,
He saw her tender mouth drOop, and unused there
as il for mel Now, if she raise those shy lids
And glance this way, wonder if dare ~
o faint and fearful heart! thine hour is over
Which not for human doubt doth pause or wait
: What children, all alone p All, foolish lover
For life's supremest chances, just too late

offered by the corporation OF Washington
for the apprehension OF the assassins OF
Lincoln, which had been carried by appeal
TAP to the Supreme Court, was recently de
cided against the claimants. The court
based its decision upon the ground that the
capture Of these criminals was a national

the citizens of the district for that purpose.
