When twilight shrouds tho earth in era,
And all the world is flushed and still
When nought is heard, save far away.
In the dense woods, the whippoorwill.

All how the heart is thrilled anew.
Then through the flowers I 90 alone.

And wandering there l seem to hear,
AS once they came so sweet to me,
Thy gentle words tall On mine ear,
And wake my heart to memory. 90
IT'S then lift my soul in prayers, He
To God; and look on Heavens blne,
And teel the purity that's there,
And think of you, and think of Won.
Oh, shall when this restless life
So full of sorrowihg thought has fled,
Cone ONE to you, my cherished wife,
In that blest blue hung over head?
Shall l, in everlasting bliss,
As hope now whispers, dearest Sue,
In that bright world as here in this,
Be always with and loving you?
Then welcome death-eternity.
Though filled with grief, can never be
More bitter in its agony re
Than in your absence this to me.
But hope and promise point above,
And will cherish this as true .i-
And constant in enduring love ,t.

II In the British House of Com
mons on the evening of the 9th instant
Earl Mall, the member for Bradford,
moved for the dissetablishment of the
Church of England, and supported the
motion in speech maj ked by ability
and great eloquence. Henry Austin
Bruce, Home Secretary, and Roundell
Palmer defended the Church of Eng
land from the assault of the member
from Bradford, and opposed the resolu-
ton. Edward Aldom Leatham, mem
Der from Huddersfeld, advocated the
resolution, and referred to the prospect
ty of the Episcopal Church in America
as an argument for the disestablishment
of the Church of England. Disraeli
thought that France, and not America,
should be looked to for proper exam
pies. He implored the House to disre-
gard the advice of philosophers and
doctrinarians, who were constantly as
sailing the Church. He believes a pie.
biscitum would confirm tho Church in
its position. Gladstone sustained the
views of Disraeli, and brought forward
fresh arguments in favor of tho present
established Church. Upon division
OF the House there was a majority OF

Marriage.

Marriage is an institution ordained
by God. A good husband supplements
the weakness of a woman with his
rude, rough strength. A good wife
softens the rude, rough man with the
tenderness of her own being. Mar
riage is a coming into the soul, bring
ing with it new duties and joys, al
revelation Of heaven and earth, and is
often positive means of salvation to
both parties. Many a young man has
been urged on in his career by the
feeble woman who stands by his side,
aiding him by her love and spirit to
rouse his energies, SO that at last he is
able to reach the height of his ambi-
ton.
While we must advocate marriage,
we must not join with those who with
keenest satire ridicule the bachelor
and the maid. Can there be greater
heroism in the resolution of a young
man who never dreams of a home of
his own while his aged mother needs
his strong arm and aid or the maiden
who banishes her dreams of hope while
the voice from the sick-room calls her
No! these hottest duties, come they to
man or woman, are sacred. e.-
How is it that those who have
pledged their love at the altar, who go
forth into life, shortly after become SO
unhappy How is it that there are SC
many unhappy Unions, which soon
make desolate honest Because they
were not married in heaven as we'll as
on earth. The hottest and happiest
event that can happen this side of the
celestial city is right marriage.
Every young man and woman hopes
to get married. 1t is an instinct i'm.
parted by God; but do not let romance
run away with your common SENSE
That stretches your imagination ant
fancy till you think you are the mos,
unfortunate being ON the earth.
Get hold of the romance that keen,
everything young, bright and beauti
full before you; cling to it, for thi
world is awfully prosy at times, and W,
require the halo Of true romance then

across the roof of the shed. The tree
which l had intended to aid me in
climbing to the ground, was covered
with dense foliage, and, as quick as
thought l seized an outstretched limb
and drew myself among the branches
into its leafy covert, thus completely
screening myself from view from be-
low.
1t was all done rapidly, and ere the
two men had yet come into view.
But in moment thereafter they
both made their appearance, the one in
front with flaming torch in his hand.
"D'ye see anything Of him, boys 2"
shouted the excited DAYTON, as lie
came tearing around also.
"No; he's gone!" was the hasty re-
ply.
"But he can not be far" said he.
"That noise was made by him as he
escaped on the roof. He is somewhere
here! Search closely for him; He must
not elude us.
And tile trio, after separating began
a search, which lasted fully an honr.
All through the woods that surrounded
the cabir, in every nook, in every val
ley, believe, they sought me; but at
length, entirely disheartened, they
came back toward the shed, pausing
when they had come up to it.
l now began to trembIe lest they
should extend their search, and happen
to ferret out my place of concealment;
but short conversation among tlem-
selves at once dispeIIed this fear.
"He's gone, sure" said DAYTON with
a great oath.
"And all your fault, blast ye," retort
ed one of the others. "Ifyou had only
silenced the fellow when lie was in
your power, everything would have
been safe. Now, besides what we have
lost by him getting away. this part OF
the country will be too hot to hold u.s.
eyes," said the third, she'll arouse
the whole neighborhood, and they'll be
upon US before the sun RISES"
"But they'll not find us. We mus,
leave before daylight" added DAYTON
hurriedly.
81 reckon the horse'll fall to jim
and me-" put in the second speaker
casting an angry glance at DAYTON.
eyes, boys, you can have the horse,
replied that individual.
This served somewhat to mollify the
others anger; and after few more
words, which were delivered in low,
inaudlble voices, DAYTON adjourned to
the hut, while the two WORTHLESS lead
inS out my horse and saddling him,
both mounted him and soon disappear
ed, in quick trot, down forest path
By this time daylight was slowly
breaking in the East; but I did not
quit my perch, till had seen Dawton
and his wife hurriedly follow the tracks
of the other two. Then, when I was
sure that they were entirely gone, ]
hastily descended, and gaining the road,
I walked forward briskly, till 1 reached
another house, a few miles distant.
A party was quickly raised, and we
went back in search of the VILLAINS; but
we failed TO track them down. They
had entirely abandoned the place, and
were gone; no doubt to ply their nefa.
rious trade in some other locality.
