A Romance of Canada.

Just thirty years ago this summer, a
little child, three years old, was playing
on the stoop of its fathers house in Que
bee The house was in Richardson street
and in what is known as st. Roch Sub
urbs For some reason the childs nurse
was out of the way for time, and no
one kept watch on its movements. When
the family came to look for the little one
"a great favoritc with ALT was gone.
Inquiries were instantly made in every
direction, but in vain. Weeks, months
and years rolled away. and the child was
unheard of. At last the family mourncd
their treasure as dead One morning
last May gentleman went from Quebec
to Montreal, and being in the latter city
stepped into shop to buy a hat This
gentleman was friend Of the family who
had lost the child, and whose name was
Richard. lie observed on entering tho
shop, that the keepers name was Rich
mond. This trihing and partial coinci-
dence would have made no impression
had he not directly after noticed sur
prising resemblance between Richmond,
the halter, and the Richard family of
Quebec. Going home to his lodgings,
he wrote the adventure to his mother,
who lives in that town, and after post
ing the letter, felt strongly moved to re-
turn and cross-question Richmond con-
corning his origin. This was done, and
to some purpose, for Richmond declared
that he had been reared from infancy by
an Indian woman, whom he had been
taught to regard as his mother. She
had been always kind to him, but ncgci.
until lying on her death-bcd, confessed
the fact that she had stolen him from his
parents door when an infant, had brought
him into the forest among her own rcd
brethren, and raised him for her own
His family name she said she had forgot
ten, but gave that Of Richmond as
something like it. After the squaw's
death, the young man went to Quebec
and tried to find his people; but the
change of name, his own extreme igno-
rance and simplicity. and the probable
absence at the time Of his parents, pre-
vented his success Afterward he made
his way to Montreal, and got into tho
trade he was following when discovered
The story was quickly conveyed to tho
Richard family, and the mother came on
to Montreal, where, by certain brthmarks
known to herself, she was able to cor
roborate the identity of her long lost
child. The process, being the opposite
of that employed with an equally mys-
ferrous halter in "Box and Cox" is pro-
nounced entirely satisfactory by the Cam
adam press, which is consequently in tho
enjoyment Of sensation Of strictly
home manufacture, combined with the
rare merit of strict voracity. If hat
ter, with anything like lyric propriety,
can be transformed into tenor, we have
here the structure Of an opera al least MS
good as that Of the Bohemian Girl"
and enterprising native composers should
hasten to make use of SO promising an

A Brief History.

About twenty-five years ago, young
mechanic, in Boston, overheard the re-
mark that fortune awaited the inventor
Of Sewing Machine. This aroused and
directed his inventive faculties spell
was upon him. which he could not resist.
His brains and hands were busy with
needles and thread and other devices,
contriving stitches for sewing and me-
chaniSm for making them. He finally
fixed upon what is known as the "Locll
stitch" as best for forming seams by ma
chincry, and devised the mechanism for
it.
This young mechanic is world-famous
as ELIAS HOWE, in, to whom, in the
language Of Judge Sprague, Of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, for all the bene-
fits conferred upon the public by the IN
PRODUCTION of the Sewing Machine, tho
public is indebted. He was not con-
tent to stop with his first success. While
he licensed others to cngraft their inn
provcments upon his invention, he busted
himself in developing the Machine. In
its present shape the highest premium
was awarded to it at the Exposition Uni
yersellc, Paris, 1867. i. Eagle agent,

BY THE SHORE OF THE RIVER.

Thro the gray willows the bleak winds arc
raving
Here on the shore, with its driftwood and
sands;
Over the river the lilies are waving,
Bathed in the sunshine of orient lands
Over the river, the wide dark river,
Springtime and summer are blooming forever.
Here all alone, on the rock, am sitting,
Sitting and waiting-my comrades all gone;
Shadows of mystery drearily fitting
Over the surf with its sorrowful moan.
Over the river, the strange cold river,
All must wait for the Boatman forever?
Wife, children and friends were around me,
Labor and rest were as wings to my soul
Honor and love were the laurels that crowned
me,
Little rocked how the dark waters roll,
But the deep river, the gray, misty river,
All that lived for has taken forever.
Silently came black boat DER ;he pillows;
Stealthily grated the keel on the sand
Rustlng footsteps were heard thro the willows
There the dark boatman stood waving his
hand
whispering, ~ come DER the shadowy river;
She who is dearest must leave thee forever"
Suns that were brightest and skies that were
buest,
Darkened and paled in the message he bore,
Year after year went the fondest, the truest,
Following that reckoning hand 10 the shore;
Down 10 the river, the cold, grim river,
Over whose waters they vanished forever.
Yet not in visions Of grief have wandered,
Still have toiled, tho my ardor has flown,
Labor is manhood; and life is but squandered;
Dreaming vague dreams of the failure alone;
Yet from the tides of the mystical river
Voices of spirits are whispering ever.
Lonely and old, in the dust am waiting
Till the dark Boatman, with soft muiiled oar,
Glides over the waves, and | hear the keel
grating,
See the dim, reckoning hand on the shore,
Waiting me over the welcoming river
To gardens and homes that are shining forever!

WHERE'S THE MONEY Y"-Dick La
zyboncs was the owner of large dog,
which it cost as much to keep as it would
two pigs; and the dog was worse than
useless, and annoyed Dicks wife -
"Plaguc take the dog" said she; "Mr.
Lazyboncs, | wish you would sell him,
or do something or other with him; |
wonder you keep such an animal. -
"Well, well, my dear" said Dick, "say
no more about It, will get rid Of him
some fine day" This was intended as a
mere get off on the part Of Dick, but as
his wife kept daily dinging in his cars
about the dog he was compelled TO take
some order on the subject. "Well, wife, !"
said he one day, "Pye sold Jowler. -
"Havo you indeed?' says she. "Pm
dreadful glad of it. How much did you
sell him for p Fifty dollars" Fifty
dollars What! fifty dollars for one dog

Non PossUM. On one occasion when
the society to commemorate the landing
of VIM. Penn was about to have dinner
of more than usual elegance, Judge
Peters was asked to preside; and John
Jay Smith, then quite a young man, Ga
descendant Of PENIS friend, James 10
GAM, was appointed croapier. As such
it fell to his lot to carve a possuna which
amiablc quadrupcd was in those times
always served in great style at the COM
memoration dinner, from tradition that
it was the first meat which was eaten by
VIM. Penn after he landed 1t required
some resolution, however, to eat the ami
NAL, and the Judge was a little particu-
lar as to what went in this way into his
mouth. Having carved a possum with
a perfect comprehension of his difficult
anatomy, Mr.. Smith, of course, offered
a piece in form to the Judge, as govern
Or of the feast. Looking first at Mr..
Smith and then at the possum, the Judge
said in tone which indicated that while
the process Of carving had been going on
he had been mentally resolving the pro-
blem whether he could eat possum at the
end Of it, and that he had been. compell-
ed to resolve it ncgatively-lool1ing at
Mr.. Smith half imploringly, he replied
to his gracious offer with an air of huge
solemnity, "Non 1'ossuns. "-Bcnch and

A DRUNKARD's WARNING. "A young
man entered the bar-room of village
tavern, and called for drink. no"
said the landlord, "you have too much
already. You have had delirium trc-
mems once, and / cannot sell you any
more" He stepped aside, to make room
for couple of young men who had just
entered, and the landlord waited upon
them very politely. The other had stood
by silent and sullcn, and, when they had
finished, he walked up to the landlord,
and thus addressed him "Six years ago
at their age, stood where these young
men now are. was man with fair
prospects Now, at the age Of twenty
eight, | am wreck, in body and mind.
You led me TO drink. Now, sell me a
few glasses more, and your work will be
done shall soon be out Of the way;
Do not sell it to them Sell it to me, and
let me die, but, for Heavens cake, sell
no more to them !" The landlord listened,
pale and trembling Setting down his
decanter, he exclaimed, "God helping
me, that is the last drop | will ever sell
to any one !" And he kept his word.

A DOC SToRY.-Wednesday last was
"a good day for the race"--the canine
race is referred to--as the following true
tale of a Minnesota dog. related by re-
liable eyewitness, shall prove. On that
day, as one of the trains on the Lake
Superior and Mississippi Railroad stop
ped at Centrevllo, few miles beyond
White Bear Lake, lady took seat in
one of the passenger coaches, and the
train started. When itstopped at White
Bear Station, dog of medium size, and
with rather a shaggy coat came along
side upon the platform, and was noticed
to be very warm and painting heavily
Again, few miles further on, halt was
made to take water, and Conductor Bond
called the attention of some of the pas
sengers-to the fact that the dog had fol-
lowed them from White Bear Lake, as
he supposed. The train was going off,
and shortly doggy was seen close behind.
Passengers became interested, and crowd
ed to the rear of the car to watch the
race. Occasionally, at some pool be-
side the track, doggy would dash down,
take few drops of the cooling fluid,
varying this sometimes with bath. and
then, with sharp yelp or two, as if in
pain at the idea of being held behind,
dash on. In this way an even race was
maintained until down grade was reach
cd, when the train made long, swift
dash, to gain impetus for rising grade
beyond. Doggy now fell behind; he
tried hard, but it was too much for him;
his little body was. however, just full of
pluck and perseverance, and, to the de-
| light of the passengers, whose sympathy
was fully aroused for the canine hero,
when the up grade was reached, doggy
made good his loss, and caught up with
the train. Conductor Bond said he
would stop and take up the weary runner,
now showing signs Of exhaustion, but
there was no one to take care of him, or
to deliver him to at the journeys end.
BY this time, n lady passenger from
Centrcville became Interested to know
what it was which SO excited the passcn-
gers, and, as she saw the little racer, she
Immediately recognized him as the pet
of the friends with whom she had been
visiting at Centreville. He had followed
her to the depot, and CALAMITY attended
her on foot on her journey until within
about four miles of st. Paul. Conduc-
tor Bond seized the bell rope, the train
was quickly stopped, and doggy was
taken on board, where he was given first
class quarters and free ride, which he
had amply earned by fairly running a
fourteen mile race with passenger
train making its usual time. It's need
less to add that doggy was as delighted
as bis weary little body would allow to
regain sight of the friend he had follow
ed, and that he was the hero Of the hour
with all on board the train. Press

Again, it is said that men will elude
your law, by selling rum under an
other name. Let them do it, if they
dare. With q suitable police, and q
vigilant community, more eagle-eyed
than the police, they will do it at a
tremendous hazard. We shall, more
over, have the poor brutally treated
beaten wives Of drunkards as an aux
Hilary police. The fathers too, whose
sons are in peril, will be with us. An
atmosphere will be created so pure,

not hide himself, and still carry on
his demoralizing traffic. A prohibi-
tory law properly framed and en-
forced, will drag him to light. But if
we can not do all that we wish, let us
do all in our power. The tipping
houses are the outer gyrations of the
maelstrom. The retailing shops stand
ing at every corner rob the laborer of
his gains, and send him reeling to his

prohibitory law, and the evil that
now pervades our cities, will give

PROSPECTUS OF THE
NEW ORLEANS HERALD.
Published By the Herald Printing Company.
Office, l09 Gravier Street

Il ",
Office, 100 Gravier Street.
This paper, originating in the efforts of
gentlemen who We're ostracised from Jour
nalistic position, long held by them, on ac-
count of their vigorous assaults upon certain
officials, chiefly responsible for the present
unhappy condition of our State, is established
on the cooperative basis-one-half of the
stock being owned by the employees.
The Herald will be published as an Evening
Paper for the summer months, with regular
Sunday Morning edition.
The Herald will be a: strictly Independent
paper. No factions, rings or associations
will control its opinions or shape its course.
Its main object will be to supply great de
mand in this city and section, for a paper
conducted in the interest of the people, free
from prejudices and animosities, created by
past and dead conflicts and issues, and fear
less OF the menaces of public officials or
partisan chiefs and demagOgks. 1t will be
conducted by persons Of long Identification
and familiarity with the community, its in
terests, needs, ideas and history. 1t will aim
to present all the news of the day, in q brief
and condensed form, with editorial COM
ments, characterized by practical ideas, a
large charity and spirit Of progress, and Of
to the exposure and denunciation of the
wrongs, oppression and corruption Of public
officials and political ,jobbers.
A sad experience of the folly and ruin to
every interest, from the extremcism which
seeks to keep up a war of races in our midst,
dividing in sympathy and cooperation for
the general good the productive, industrial
and capitalist classes, has brought us to the
conclusion that the redemption of our State
and its future welfare. require harmony,
good understanding and mutual confidence
between these classes.
The commercial, material and industrial
interests Of this city, and the agricultural
interests OF the country, in all their relations,
and especially as affected and promoted by
enterprises, looking to great public improve
ments, facilitating transportation and at
tracing capital. increasing all values and
promoting INSTRUMENTATION and trade
with neighboring and foreign communities,
and inviting immigration, will be vigorously
and zealously defended and championed by
the Herald.
Accepting in good faith the changes in our
constitution. arising out of the war, recog-
nizin@ emphaticnllv the legal and political
equality OF all citizens, and invoking the
union of all honest people, in a ceaseless war
against all the corrupt, dishonest and in
ccndiary plotters and demagogues, to whom
are mainly due our present calamitics. We
hope SO to conduct the Herald as to secure
for it the confidence and support Of that
public to which its conductors and employees
have given so large a portion of their lives,
Ia bors and talents.
