entertained by them that at their de-
cease they 60 to Van Dieman s Land and
come back white fellows, originated, no
doubt 10 this way. Bucklcy, on his
first appearance amongst them, the first
European they had ever seen, was re.
ceised amongst them as the rcappear-
ance Of native just dead, whom 10
every respect, except color, he closely
resembled; was fully bnlieved to be
the very man; was adopted by the
dead mans friends and tribe, and called
by his name. No doubt but the simi.
larity, fortunately for Buckley, saved
his life. Afterwards when settlers
streamed over from Van Dieman's Ian ].

most as the only place whence the white
people came from, and probably seeing

should have such an idea is nothing
SlDpular OF WOnuerIuI.
Much more singular aud curious
ideas they have; strange, indeed, is their
notion Of death; or rather, that with
the constant and palpable decay of the
human frame before their eyes, they
have no belief in death from natural
causes. All deaths they consider to
be the result of accident, malice, or
magic. When death occurs, they
decide that the deceased persons kid.

Whether tho seal fishery will ever be-

there are no signs of exhaustion, al,

that the worst results will follow the

PICTURES OF MEMORY.

The following beautiful lines were written by
ice Carey, and pronounced by Edgar Allen
,e, to be one Of the finest poems ever produc.
Ia this country.
or all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one Of dim old forest
That seemeth best Of all,
Not for Its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-w white liliies
That lean. from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet CO wslip
IL seemeth to me the best.
] once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap Of that olden forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful SUMMERS,
The summers of long ago,
But his feet on the hills grew weart,
And one Of the autumn ewes
made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in a meek embrace;
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face.
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright
He fell, in his saint-like beauty, g..
Asleep by the gates Of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hdug on Memory's wall,
The one Of the dim old forrest
Seemeth the best of all.

llIsToRY OF THE OLD RED CENT
AS the old "red cent has now passed
out OF use. and except rarely, out Of
sight, like the "old oakcn bucket" its
history is a matter of sufficient interest
for preservation. The ceut was first
proposed by Robert Morris, the great
6nancier of the revolution, and was
named by Jefferson, two hours after. 1t
began to make its appearance from the
mint in 1892. 1t bore the head OF
Washington on one side aud l3 links on
the other. The French Revolution
soon created rage for French Ideas in
America, which put on the cent instead
of the head Of Washington, the head OF
the Goddess Of Liberty---a French lib.
berty, with back ;hrnst forward and
flowing locks. The chain on the re.
verse was replaced by the olive wreath
of peace, but the French liberty was
short lived, and so was her portrait on
our cent The next head or figure sue
ceeding this, the staid classic dame,
with fillet around her hair came Into
fashion about 80 or 40 years ago, and
her finely chiseled Grecian features
have been but slitly altered in the lapse
of time.

Thomas Hood on his death bed
Farewell, life | my senses swim,
And the world is growing dim
Thronging shadows cloud the light
Like the advent OF the night
Colder, colder, colder still,
Upwards steals a vapor chill
Strong the earthly odor grows
Ismeil the mold above the rosel
Welcome, life! the spirit strivesi
Strength returns aud hope revivesi
Cloudy fears and shapes forlorn
Fly like shadows at the MORN

Sunny light for sullen gloom,
Warm perfume for vapors cold
