killing him almost instantly. The

By this survey the testimony Of the liv-
ing is verified and the memory OF the dead
without a stain, for the position of the ship
as found, and the positions of both the
Oneida and Bombay, as testified to by the
navigating officers, shows that it was inn
possible for the Captain of the Bombay to
have ever seen the red light of the Oneida,
and that he order of ''post your helm" by
Captain Eyre, was wrong, and the ''star-
board, hard a starboard, of Master Yates,
was right.
Here we bid adieu to the Oneida and her
attendant train of saddened memories. BY
the same ship which bears this letter, her

THE APPROACH Of AGE.
by JOHN II. BRYANT.


= Gone are the friends my boyhood knew,
Gone threescore years since childhood's morn;
lonely stalk ! stand, where grew
And proudly waved the Summer corn.
Scanning the record Of my years.
How blank, how meagre seems the page;
How small the sum of good appears
Wrought by these hands from youth to age.
Yet midst the tolls a7d cares of life,
I've tried TO keep cheerful heart;
To curb my hercer passions strife,
AID as man to act my part.
And repine not az my lot
Glad to have lived In times like these,
When mystic cords of human thought
Bind realm 10 realm across the seas.
When this dear land, Times latest birth,
Strikes every chain from human hands,
And midst the nations of the earth
The greatest, freest, nOblest stands
when progress In material things
Leads upward immaterial mind,
And into nearer prospect brings
The perfect life of all mankind.
Kindly, as yet, life's autumn sun
dilds the green precincts Of my home;
Softly, though fast. the moments rum
And feeting seasons go and come.
Yet nearer means the wintry blast,
The chilling wind of Age that blows
Through darkening skies with cloud oercast
With binding seet and drifting shows.
Hol cleaner on lifes wintry lea,
Ihear thy stems mid rustling leaves,
And soon this withered stalk will be
Close garnered with the autumn sheayes.
And then will He beneath whose eye
Each act of right and wrong appears,
Aught of untarnshed grain descry
Among the husks Of wasted years?
Haply these mastering clouds that lower
On the low sky in seeming wrath
May vanish, and life's sunset hour
Jhed calm radiance Ger my path.
Then may the clear horizon bring
Those glorious SUBMITS to the eye,
Where, Hanked by fields of endless Spring,
The Cities of the Blessed lie.

The LAST good story comes to us all the
way from the matter of fact city of st.
Louis. A young and susceptible dry goods
clerk and handsome schoomistress were,
SO the story runs in substance, walking
arm-in-arm to church one Sunday evening,
and, being hopelessly in love with each
other, were OF course utterly oblvious to
sublunary matters, and were supremely
happy. Suddenly, their bliss was cut
short. A ferocious dog, jealous, no doubt,
'of sweets he could not taste jumped from
behind fence and, with evil intent, made
for the lady. Here was a glorious chance
for the young man to manifest his bravery.
and nobly heimproyed it. Throwing him
self in front Of his fair companion, he met
the canine with singing blow, which
sent him flying from the scene with yelps
of inglorious defeat. But our hero was
not permitted to enjoy his victory. In the
very moment OF triumph he sprained his
ankle and fell helpless on the sidewalk.
Now came the opportunity for display of
womanly heroIsm. The schoolmistress
was a girl Of spirit, and at once ordered a
hack took her lover to his room, dressed
/ his wounded ankle, watched with him dur.

when morning came, sent for friend and
minister, and the two were Immediately
