Taper finsers and slender wrist,
Hangips sleeves of stiff broeade-

Look! heres rent, the II ght sfinee through,
; DARk with . centuTy's fringe cf dust
That was Red-Coats rapier thrust
Such is the tale the lady Old
Dorothy's daughters daughter told
Who the painter was none may ten,-
One whose be It was not over well;
Hard and dry, it must be confessed,
Fiat as a rose that has long been pressed:
Yet IN her cheek the hues are bright
Dainty colors of red and white;
And in her slender shape are seen
Hint and p.omise OF stately nien.
Look not Oh her with eyes Of scorn,-
Dorothy @. lad born,
Aye, since the gaIopiIg Normans came,
England's annals have known her name;
And still 20 the three-hiIied rebel town
Dear is that ancient names renown,
For many civic wreath they won
The youthful sire and the gtay-hsired son.
Damsel Dorothy, Dorothy @.
Strange is the gilt that owe TO you,
Such gift never king
Save to daughter or son may bring,-
All my tenure of heart and hand,
All my title to house and land:
Mother and sister and child and wife,
And Joy and sorrow and de.th and life,
What If hundred years ago
Those close-shut lips had answered No
When forth the tremulOus uueetiOn came.
That cost the maiden her Norman name.
And under the folds that look so still
The bodice swelled with the boson's thrill:
should be i, on would it be
Onetenth another, to nine-teuths me!
Soft is the breath OF maidens YES:
Not the light gossamer stirs with less,
But never cable that holds so fast
Through all the battles Of wave and blast
And never an echo of speech or song
That lives in the babbling air so long,
There We're tones in the voice that whispered thel
You may hear to-day In hundred men.
o lady and lover, how faint and far
Your images hover,-and here we are,
Solid and stirring in flesh and bone,-
Edwards and Dcrothy's-all their own,-
goodly record for time TO show
OF syllable spoken so long ago.
Shall bless you, Dorothy, or forgive
For tie little whisper that made me live?
II shall be blessing, my little maid
] will heal the stab of the Red-Coat's blade,
And freshen the gold of the tarnished frame
And gid with rhyme your household name;
50 you shall smile on us brave and bright
As fret you greeted the mocning's light,
And live untroubled by and fears
Through second youth Of hundred years.

AT THE NORTH PoLE.-Capt. Hall.
the Arctic explorer, in his recent lee
ture in New York, was reported thus:
When he shall stand Oh, the North
Pole there is one thing which will
trouble him, and that, how shall he
keep his chronometers regulated; how
shall he tell whether they are gaining
or losing. Every direction then viii
be south. There will be no north, no
east, no west. The North Star will ba
directly over head, or nearly so, and on
the first day of March the sun will just
appear above the horizon and go
round and round, day by day, never
rising or setting, but gradually attain
ing greater altitude, until finally 1T
will get to height of 23l degrees, and
then gradually get lower and lower, un-
til on the 23d of September it will dis
appear, to be seen no more for six
months. What object can he site tn
regulate his chronometerst He has
asked the question of the best talent in
the country, and NO man can answer
him. In the-winter of 1872 he will be
where no sun can shine, but in fine
place Tor people fond of eating, for it
will always be dinner time-always IL
O'Clock.

$4,000 Seeking an Owner.

1t is strange how difficult it some
times is to find the owners of very val
liable property. There is in the pos
session of one of the great English rail
way companies magnificent snuff box,
encrusted with diamonds, which was
found by some superatively honest
porter in one of the carriages. The
company advertised in every conceiva-
BILE manner to try and discover its own
er, but In vain, and it is now filled with
snuff, and handed round at meetings OF
"the board" 1t seems by the follow
ing advertisement, which has been GO
ing the round of London papers, that
al owner is wanted for still more val
liable property:
STOLEN DIAMONDS AND JEWELS. No
tice is hereby given, that in the course
of the month of September, probably
the 18th, casket was stolen at Rosen-
helm, in Bavaria, from the luggage of
This casket contained several jewels,
and the value of the stones now in the
hands of the police is estimated at
$4,000
The Jewels appear to be very old, &C
cording to their cutting and setting, and
of Oriental workmanship.
Amongst others is triangular emer,

A LADY, at Hartford, of infirm health
has been in the habit of getting hel
coachman to attend to her business af.
fairs. Some time ago he was given
some $40, 600 to invest in United States
bonds, bat instead Of purchasing them
he kept the money himself, paying the
interest as fast as the time came
around. Last fall the lady wished to
purchase an estate in Florida where
she might spend the winter, and ac
cordingly the coachman was furnished
with funds to the amount of IS, 600, and
he started southwark. In a few weeks
he returned and announced that he had
purchased suitable residence for her,
showing what purported to be the ne
cessary papers. He assisted in boxing
the furniture, but before this was com
pieted he disappeared. This led to ar
investigation. which revealed his ex
tensive swindling operations, and steps
were taken which at last led to his ap
prehension.
