Mr.. Grimes, his tone altering slightly,
"Yes, it would ; but it's hard ON man to

"Yes,' said Robert, sit is only true"
"And you are out of work?"
"For two months 1 have vainly sought for

Jane waited for her husband, il the cold

longer she might call her come.
"Do you think father will bring us some
bread" said little Jimmy, as he nestled in
her lap.
II hope so, darling" she said; but her
heart misgave her. She feared it was de-
lusive hope.
An hour passed-there was step on the

this was cheerful, elastic step, coming up
two stairs at time. She looked eagerly to

Jimmy, hopefully.
"Yes, Jimmy, some bread and meat from a
restaurant, and here's a little tea and sugar.
There's little wood left, Jane. Let's have a

God, this shall be merry Christmas"
"How did it happen? Tell me, Robert"
So Robert told his wife, and soon bright

Hold up the canvas full in view
].ook! there's a rent the light shines through,
DARK with a century's fringe OF DUST
That was a Red-Coaps rapler thrust
Such is the tale tae lady old
Dorothy's daughter 5 ddug ter tOld.
Who the painter was none may tell
One whose best was not over WE'LL
Hard and dry, it must be confessed,
Flat a rose that has long been pressed;
Yet in her cheek the hues are bright,
Dainty eoiors of red and white;
Aud in her slender shape are seen
Hint and promise of stately mieh.
Look not on her with eyes of scorn,-
Dorothy q was lady born!
Ay since the galloping Normans came, .
England's annals have known her name;
And still TO the three-hiled rebel town
Dear is that ancient names renown,
For many civic wreath they won
The youthful sire and the gray-hared son,
Damsel Dorothyi Dorothy O.!
Strange is the gilt that owe 10 you;
Such gift as never king
Save to daughter or son might bring
All my tenure of heart and hand,
All my title to house and land;
Mother and sister and child and wife

Those close shut lips had answered NO
When forth the tremulous question came

But never a cable that no Ids SO last
Through all the battles OF wave and blast,
And never an echo of speech song
That lives ia the babblng air SO long!
There were tones in the voice that whispered then
You may hear to-day Ill a hundred men.
Q lady and lover, how faint and far
Your images hover,-and here we are
Solid and stirring in flesh and bone,--
Edwards and Dorothy's-al their owp,-

For the little whisper tina babe me live?

And freshen the gold of the furnished frame,
And gild with rhyme your household name;

AND live nntroubled by woes and fears
Through second youth of a hundred years.

BURGLARY IN WINTERPORT.

correspondent Of the Bangor Wing
writes
That on Thursday night, at 10 O'Clock, as
the hired man Of c. II. Treat, Esq, came to
the house, he found the door locked so that
his night key would not admit him He
rang the door bell several times, and was fl
nally answered by the female domestic who
declared her SURPRISE as she heard some one
come in half an hour before and supposed il
was him; and further that when she retired
she left the door unlocked. A hasty search
about the house disclosed no one and nothing
missing, and both retired Soon the man
heard cautious footsteps on the front stairs
lie Immediately dressed and left the house tc
seek aid to capture the robbers, locking the
door and taking the key with him On his
return thorough search was made. No ono
was found in the house; but on going rount
the House on the outside, two men were
started up They were pursued, but they
took through the fields for the woods, anI
succeeded in escaping. 1t is supposed they
were after the silver ware, which, however
was not where the rogues expected to find it
and they failed in their attempt. Mr.. Trea
and wife were ont of town at the time.
