night, so he resolved to stop at the first
house where he saw light, and ask shell
ter or further direction. Soon after he
came upon large building, and in a small
one close by was pale light.e Tying his
horse, he hurried toward it, and seeing the
door slightly ajar, was about to enter, When
he saw the figure of woman with long
golden hair seated before table with hel
back to him. At first he thought she was
praying; but, with his usual love of adven-
ture, he determined to see her face. So
he STEPPED noislessly behind her and saw
that she was before mirror. That mo-
ment she raised her eyes-such hearenly
eyes, he said-and looked at his face in the
glass, peering from behind the golden veil
of her beautiful hair: and as she looked
not sound came from her. but every trace
of color died out of her face, leaving it
like marble; and fearing to Brighten her
more, he gave reassuring smile, and
withdrew as he came. Until he was fairly
in the saddle again and some distance on,
he did not once think of his errand, so
enraptured was he with the beautiful vision;
but he rode on until he came to village,
and finding hotel, stopped long enough
for few hours rest, and was off at dawn.
Since that time those eyes have followed
him in dreams, and come between him and
all duty"

having successfully accomplished the
three swallows-went to bed backward, and
lay down upon her right side, determined
to sleep without stirring till morning. AS
my room was separated only by thin par
tition from the larger one which the girls
had improvised into a dormitory for the
sake of being together, had the benefit of
Kitty's martyrdoln. After they had chat
ed some time, heard her voice mournfully
exclaim, "Oh dear if l only could stir
enought to have a drink I'm dying of
thirst yet refusing all offers of relief,
determined not to spoil her charm Then
"Oh girls hoo l pity Lots wife. l
should think she would have swallowed the
Dead Sea-"
And again: "This is erer so much worse
than having your photo taken, because
you can wink then; besides, if you do spoil
it, you can have another one taken.''
Thus through the watches of the night
came the lamentations of this small Jere-
miah, till suddenly there was bound upon
the floor. and a burst of laughter, as poor
parched Kitty made an attack on the pitch
er, and between swallows ANNOUNCED that
she was "cured in every sense of the word;
catch her in such pickle again, if she
never got married." which was the last
sound l heard from my dove cote.
The morning dawned clear and fresh,
and November seemed to borrow her first
day from her predecessor to get a good
start as it were, and found my birds
could be larks as well as owls; for ere my
own toilet was complete heard the rust
ling and nesting and twittering, which
finally merged into general gossiping,
and the click of little heels across the floor.
This assured me that my breakfast prepar-
tions could proceed, for neither superst
tion nor sentiment can exist without food

THE ATLANTIc.-In the Atlantic Monthly
for November the most striking article
No. HI, of "Our Whispering Gallery"
is from the pen of Mr.. James T. Fields
1t describes Charles Dickens at Gad's Hill,
in June 1869 and 1870; his social walks
through Kent, the garden of England; Wis
its to Rochester, Chatham, Gotham, Can
terbury, the Druidstone at Maidstone, and
a picnic in the church yard as Cooling, the
scene of Pips early life in "Great Expec-
tations." These personal recollections en-
able us to see and know Dickens in private
life, without a shadow of prevention or van
ity, and Mr.. Fields shows himself in them
as worthy the distinction he enjoyed of
being the great authors intimate friend
No set biography can bring ''Boz - so COM
pletely before the world which laments his
loss. The three serial tales by J. w. De
Forest, H. James. Jr., and W. d. Howells
are continued here, thoroughly in the spirit
in which they were begun. "The We'd
ding Journey" by Mr.. Howells. with it's
voyage from Niagara to Montreal and Que
bee, is so full of variety and incident that
we give it the preference. E. G. Steadman,
himself poet, compares Tennyson with
Theocritus in an article which is at once
sensible and scholarly. Mr.. Stedman has
clearly proved his theory, that Tennyson
very closely studied the Greek idyls of
Theocritus, and closely followed their con-
struction. We do not think that he has
established the likeness of the Victorian to
the Alexandrine age. Mr.. Stedman's illus
trative translations from the Greek are in
blank verse, and consist of passages which,
whether purposely or not, resemble Theo-
critus. Under the title of "California
Saved" Mr.. Stephen Powers discusses the
question of "the heather Chinee." We
rather doubt his conclusion that the Central
Pacific Railroad has prevented Chinese
immigration, and sent back hundreds and
thousands of the Asiatics. DR.. w. Goodell
occupies considerable space, but none too
much in "The Bedlams of Stamboul," in
which, after long residence with the
Turks, he treats of Oriental insanity-an
institution which is viewed with great
respect in Constantinople. OF the poetry
in the present number, "The Sphinx" by
M. E. N. Hathaway, is the best, fully wor-
thy of its subject.

and were ready enough to face homeward.
Most had arrived before us, and the re-
naming hours of the afternoon were spent
in chatting and music. After tea, Rollie
and Kitty started off for Christibel, and
was rather amused to hear Mr.. Delamore' S
offer in the hall to accompany them ''just
to even matters coming home, chum-'' he
explained. I smiled when they had gone,
thinking he would prove Monsieur de Trop,
ard fell to specializing over Chrissie's odd
manner in the afternoon. She was favor
lite with me and after the death of her
mother-some years back-I took the child
close to my heart, tor she had very little
sympathy in the cold, still house where,
but her father, who was absorbed in his
books and her grim aunt, who hadn't a
thought beyond her housekeeping Chris
labels nature was as quaint and sweet as
her name, and very womanly withal, and
she chung to Kitty and me with fervor
that seemed odd to one who did not under
stand the force of her character. But since
the night of the halloween mystery she
had seemed dreary and preoccupied and
although she never referred to it again in
my preesnce, seeming to avoid the subject,
| still felt sure that she still brooded over
it. Meditating thus strolled back to my
room, and was putting the finishing touch
to my couture, when Kitty's voice started
me from my revery.
She burst into my room, dragging Chris
sic fairly off her feet. and closing the door,
and clasping my waist, and whirling me
about the room exclaimed: "OAunt Jean,
Aunt Jean, isn't it grand-rm so happy
so happy" When l recovered my breath
held the crazy witch fast and said:
"Child! what possesses you-what is the
matter?"

you all about it. Chris, come here and
hold her other hand. You see, Auntie,
Mr.. Dick aoould come with us, and kept
asking me about Chrissie all the way; and
when we got to the house and they were
introduced, they acted so funny, was COM
pletely puzzled. Chrissie kept turning red
and white, and Mr.. Dick looked at her in a

"A Bowl 10 GREEN, Nov. Z, 1871.
ED1ToR JoURNAL; Itis well known that the
township Of Psrryshurg issued bonds to the
amount of 81 1000 to aid in the construction Of
the Dayton and Michigan railroad.
On the 18th Of June, 1871, Asher Cook, with
the railroad stock belonging to the township,
took up or redeemed $4,000 of The bonds, leav-
ing $4,000 Of the bonds still outstanding. Inter-
est had accrued TO the amount Of 81 $50, which
left the railroad debt $6O5O.
There was levied upon Perrysburg to'cns6iP,
by order Of its trustees, in 1859 and 1870 for the
purpose of pay ing it's railroad indebtedness, the
sum Of s6 ,OG3. Here was money sufficient to
pay of .he railroad debt and leave a surplus of
sl3. Yet in the face Of this fact, the trustees
have levied this year, for railroad purposes, the
further sum Of IS 1855 60 and which is now be-
ing collected.
1t is evident from the above, that not one cent
Of this money will be required to pay the railroad
debt; then why was it levied to what use is II
to be appropriately That it was levied with
out authority, but in gross violation OF law, is
plain and palpable to the dulestc apprehension
Then why was this enormous burthen imposed
upon the tax-rddon people Of Perrysburg vii
the trustees explain 1t is incumbent on then
to do SO, and failing in this, they will subjec
themselves to the charge of Stealing the public
funds as have their illustrious prototypes in th'
city of New York. Falling In this, would il no
