APPAeaOsA's Journal is now enlarged to the
extent of four additional reading-pages, while IL
cover enclOses it. In this form it takes more
definitely its place as a weekly household
magazine. 1t will continue to present hCalthful,
sound, instructive, entertaining, and minated
literature. It will contine itself, as q rule, to
one serial n0Cel at q time; it will contain the
best short stories ~attHinable; it will give
picturesque descriptions of places, and stirring
narratives of travel and adventure; it will have
highly cntertainingp papers upon various subjects
that pertain to the pursuits and recreatiOns of
the people; will give portraits and sketches of
persons distinguished in various walks of life;
will present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge OF
which will contribute to the welfare ana
| happiness of the household; It will describe
phases of life in all quarters of the globe; 1t
| will discuss the more important events OF the
time, and the advances made in art, literature,
and science; it will endeavOr to reflect all the
ideas, movements, and developments of society;
and, while hOpingtO cnlightcn, will strenuOusly
aim to entertain, with large abundance of
| tual pleasure. 1t will employ illustration sutft-
| GENTLY to give variety and animation to its
pages; but We shall seek rather to make it q
journal of popular high-class literature than
merely a vehicle for pictures. ID. Appleton &

An UNEXPECTED REsPONsE,-Tbe
other Sunday this incident occurred in
q church not mOrethan a thousand miles
from Camp Parapet. II -
Shortly before the time for the SER
vices to begin the minister dispatched a
little colored boy to Paul Keorber's
store for q bottle of gin, with directions
to be back IN a hurry, and before the
exercises should commence. The bow
delayed. The parsOn deVoutly entered
his pulpit, took his text, and began to
mark out the way to a better country.
by discussing some point, to prove or
dlsproVe which he proposed to quote
st. Paul, and began with the i~nterrOga-
hon, addressed to the congregation, and
which he intended of course to answer
himself: What did Paul sayq ~ The
boy who had gone to Paul KeOrber7sf for
the JgIQn, having returned and slipped in
to the church thought the question was
addressed to him, and included why he
did not get the gin, sung out, HE saws
You can't have no mo- ginstin YOU paws
up the old scores" This was an an
sWer the parson hadn't anticipated,
and it somewhat disconnected the
thread OF his discourse. He recovered
himself only to repeat the unfortunate
d did Paul say 7"
and the. boy supposing he had not
been understood sung out at the top of
his voice. . [ told ye, he said We shan't
have no mo- gin, til ye pays him what ye
owes, dat's what he said.h The pars0n
with a dignified wave of his hand to-
ward the trembling boy said, i" I'll thank
\ Oh the deacons to place dat obsti-
naclous boy outside the walls OBJ dis
church The deacon piously per-
formed the service. the sermon was con
tInued by asking the same eonundrum,
swer, caused no disturbance. and /
sermon was finished without Gin. and
without other notable occurrence,

Fifty Wears Apart.

They sit in the winter cleaning,
And the fire burns bright between:
one has pass'd seventy summers,
The ether just seventeen.
They rest in o happy silence
AS the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in a coming future,
And one III a long, long past.
Each dreams of a rush of music,
And a question whispered low:
One will hear it this evening,
One heard it long ago.
Each dreams of a loving husband
Whose brave heart is hers alonG -
For one the joy is coming, .n
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams of d life Of gladnes
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the merry
Shine in the happy eyes. ..
Who knows which dream is ~therghtest!
And who knows which is theesH
The sorrow and joy are mingle
But only the end is rest.

Awake . Away! my fairies all,

Awake ! Away! my fairies all,
From grOt, from grove, from lawn;
Wind Echo, wind my fairy cali,
On tiny triEing horn
LO! how they come, stride watery beam.
From rill, from fOunt and fell,
They trip, they troop. Each mOOn-gilt STREAM
Floats elfin-laden shell.
Come spirits, come, your queen goes forth
In royal state tonight.
Well move through air; Wen pass thrOughe cart
Eve mornings rosy light.
&C one before with glow worms lamp
To light our yieWless way.
Go two beside with bulrush damp
To bridge the mellow clay.
For fairy foot must trip it feat
Der bending blade of grass.
Nor leave nor track nor trace to greet
The wondering eye of lass.
Now is the time Wen frOlic round
The sleepy snoring world.
Well pinch the maids, They slumber sound,
Their every tress unfurled.
Mount some the tower. Toll the bell.
IT'S midnight, holy hour!
The waking thief starts in his cell
And slowly turns him DER.
Go, elfin, catch yOnshOoting star
And glinGy diamond make.
L uAhB 81 th41O Ill I'll ICUIh SdI
To cross the phantom lake.
Some nip the corn of surly churI
And blight his bleating sheep.
Some at his vineyard hail stone hurl.
He shall nor thrive nor reap.
But fill to caves the gudeman's barn
With pregnant SheayeS of wheat,
AND crown the glldeWife's dairy churn
With golden glObule sweet.
Old gossip's milk Wen freeze to cur
And strip her brinded eve.
4 gad-fly gOad her stamping herd
And fume her soOty t1ue.
Old Grab! This miller's mill Wen choke
With twenty pebbles round.
Now let him toll, for toll he took
When widows corn he ground.
The air grows murk. Go weave a web
Around the moon and sky.
Come wrap my shoulders with the film
From off a bull-frOg's eye.
There dropping to a murdercr's tomb
YOn ancient yew tree stands.
Here skinny witches darkling come.
And round their cauldron dance.
| o! | must tie sweet maiden'S hair
III knotty crankS and coils.
And now she dreams. Fair maid beware
OF lovers pranks and tolls.
Now DER the belfry Kite we high
In rapid gleesOme flight.
The drOwsy Warder hobs his eye
And all the world goes right.
For babe that breatheS first breath this night
Shall ever blessed be.
And maid who pIights fair trOth this moon
VIII happy mother be.
Now pass we land thu men call Ind.
Twas here i'll Olden day,
We showered gems and nuggets bright
While on our moon lit way.
From crispy wave to wave we trip
As swift as morning beam.
Now on the shingly sands we skip
Eve Hesper gildS the stream.
Men call this Ell Dorado now,
The gilded land I trOw,
For as we passed, we gOld-dust cast
On hill and vale below.
Here will we dance a magic round
Above the hidden ore,
And wight who delves beneath tbs ground
Win ever bless his star.
For we are fairies good or i'll
AS happy men may hap,
And he who gives is he who geb
From g0odey-fairy lap.
But he who gets and does noEive,
Well pinch, We'll pluck hip sere;
Wen change his hoard to lupp OF Lead
Wen COLLINS perch about hTbed,
And chatter in his ear.
But fairies hit!
spy the morn COInbg arar.

mile below Raeeland In this parish, and
inquired of the old lady IL Mrs, Ewing

that was not Mrs. EWfng's residence. he
caught hold of Mrs. Folse, and drew q
razor from his pocket threatening to
cut her throat. Mr.. Sostlene F0lse,
who, happened aecidentally to be in tie
house, attacked the rufffiian with q
broom, the only weapon he could Law
hands on. His cries and those of the
old lady reached young Alidor Folge

ACENTENARIAN.-Ther recently died
at Petit-Bicetre, a locality in the envi-
rOns of Paris, a centenarian named OdiOt,
the half of whose life was q veritable
romance. Born in ITO, he was shipped
as cabin-boy on board the Ocean, u
French man-0f-war, from which he de-
serted at the island of Reunion, where
he was so fortunate as to find a home in
the house of a rich planter who adopted
him.

he remained until Napoleon was made
first consul, when he enlisted in the
guards. From this time till 1915 he
served in five different regiments. and
accompanied Napoleon in all the cam
pa1gns OF the empire. After the HIM
dred Days he entered SwissregimentOf
the Royal Guard, of which he was made
sutler. In this position he remained till
1881, when he demanded his discharge.
Odiot now retired to a little house he
had purchased at Petit icetre, and
lived at first on his pension, In the
mean time he learned that his old bene-
factor Of the island of Reunion had died
without an heir, and that his property
a fallen to the government. He urged
his claims as the planters adopted son,
and the authorities compromised by Civ
ing him one hundred thousand francs,

as he knew, he left his little fortune to

We learn that a temporary bridge is he
ing constructed across Bayou Lafourche
TO- enable track layers to work. The
plle-drlyers have SO nearly completed
their work in "Choupique'' swamp. that
no possible delay can occur to the track
layers in reaching Grand River with
the Supepstructure, It will then be
merely q matter of twenty miles Of
track Iaying-Which will be slow work
at half a mile o day. Hence in forty
days at the most, after the completion
OF the temporary bridge across the La
fQurche, We may look out for the cars
at Grand River.
In addition to the above and since
the same was in type, we learn that
work on the road on the West side Of
Grand River Is progressing rapidly.
we also learn that the grade on the
east SIDE is being raised where too low,
and we see by the Ascension Leader.
that the bridge spoken of above has
been finished and that trains were cross

Now blinks the moon on q tombstone cold.
Now hOwIs the wolf on the storm swept void.
Now boots the owl in o cypress dark,
And cricket creaks in the chimney. Hark!

But fairies MT!
I spy the morn cOlnbg afar.
sniff the balm of Nking flowers.
feel the touch of Aylight's powers.
Of chanticler I he$d the chant.
My fairies all, avaut, avaunt!
