TIE PARTING HOUR.
BY EDWARD POLLOCK.

There's something in the "pariing hour"
win chill the wnrmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are iated all to part
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed Il on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be-
Adventures, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or bleak frontier
TO solitude, or war
stll something cheers the heart that dares
In all Of human kind
Aud they who 20 are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the bridegroom's home
With d0ubtings aud with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fearsl
Alas the mother who remains
What comfort can she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than the one she leaves behindf
Have you a friend--a comrade dear,
An old aud valued friend
Be sure your term Of sweet concourse
AZ length will have an end
And when you part-as part you will
o take Il not unkind
II he who goes Il happier
Than you be leaves behind
God wills il so-and 10 It is;
Tha pilgrims thair way,
Though weak and worn more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay
And when, nj last, poor man subdued,
Lies down 10 death resigned,

A extraordinary incident has Just

one in ordinary use, and the other
which he only had recourse to when
heavy payments in gold had to be
made. Originally two keys were pro.
vided for the latter, but some time
ago ouo OF them was lost A few
days ago a necessity existed to visit
this reserved safe, and TO the intense
astonishment of the cashier he found
a key in the lock. He Immediately
informed his employer, and the two
together opened the door, when they
found inside the corpse Of a man who
had formerly been employed in the
bank, lie had probably stolen the
key, and visited the depository with
the intention of robbery, but the door
had accidentally closed, aud as it fast.
enod with a spring he bad died miser
ably in the midst Of the wealth he had
desired TO appropriate.
