Poetry.
AFTER THE WAR.

They took him at that pleasant time
When summer falleth, and the corn,
And now the places where he stood
Peer dimly through the misty morn;
The hillock where the roses blow
Hath never roses now to show.
The pathway to the distant town,
As ever, windeth low and high
And yet methinks it wears look
1t wore not in the days gone by;
Maybe it is l wait 20 catch
No footstep, and no lifted latch.
Beside the window in the gloam
stand as | have stood before;
cannot sew, the light is done,
Nor is there need to ope the door;
For he that used to come, they say,
Hastravelled on another way.
Did never season fall so glad
AS that, before our corn was stored
(And now himself is reaped, and set
Safe in the garner of the Lord)
God knows how fair face can show
Flush'd in the golden evenings glow.
I.lnind the day the news was told,
And how the village heard the tale, -
Our manhood with a lusty shout,
Our women with silence pale;
How one by one they wendell down
That pathway to the distant town.
For me, I had none closely near
To send forth proudly there to die;
Only this playmate, and you know
We were no lovers, he and !:
And yet methinks too was pale
AT telling of yon woeful tale.
I mind the last long look he gave
Just as he turned him from the door
My hand was throbbing from his touch
Poor hand that throbbeth never more
Look in my eyes-this cheek is dry,
We were but friends to say goodbye.
Now the night cometh-T shall sleep;
And he too sleepeth far away;
Ny dreams may picture me face
Turned patient up to wait the day:
Sleep sweet upon the blood-stain d sod,
Dnar n1apmate that has gone to Cod

In LOVE WITH TwIN.--The "Adverti.
ser" of London. Ontario, vouches for the
truth of the following singular story Some
of our citizens may remember the "Siamese
Twin sisters who we're exhibited in this ci :
ty few years ago. They were not STA
mese, but mulattoes, and we're designated
"Siamese Twins" sisters because they were
naturally joined together Of the same man
ner as the famous Simese twins, yet still
more effectually. They formed rather
disgusting object, and it is hard to imagine
how any one could fall in love with it, or
any part of it, yet man has been fonnd
who worships at the shrine Of monstrosity.

Berlin, in charge Of Frederick Hunt, Of
Cincinnati, and Russian Baron, Won Ner-
ger, saw, and fell madly in love with one
Of the sisters-whieh one it is not stated. -
His admiration made positive distinction,
however, and caring nothing for the other,
desired an introduction to the one He su ed
in vain. He sent diamond ring to his
particular charmer, but there were twenty
fingers and thumbs, so mixed up that they
could not decide to which it belonged, and
sent it back. The Baron was not to be
foiled in this manner He heard that the
sisters wished to get an engagement at Dee
Of the theatres of Vienna during the expo.
siton and had failed. He knew the mana.
ger of the Leopold Stadt Theatre in Vienna
aud writing to him offered to pay the twins
compensation out of his own pocket, if he
would engage theln. The twins were &C
cepted, a contract was signed to this effect,
and then the Baron Won Merger got the GOV
eted introduction. One of the present won
ders of Berlin, is the Milly sisters, every
day riding in the Baron's carriage in thu
Thiergarten Park and the Baron at theil
sides. He had several times publicly pro
claimed his intention Of marrying the object
Of his alteration, and is supposed to be the
maddest man in Europe.

Loss Of n Lumber Barge.

On Wednesday night, the lum-
Der barge j. D. Morton, Captain
Peter ii. Flick, one of six in tow of
the steam barge Sun, broke from
the tow about 20 miles down the
lake from Cleveland, and in a short
time went to pieces, the lake being
very rough. Captain Flick, his
wife and little girl, and one sea-
man, took to the small boat, and
were saved by the schooner Mary
S. Burgh, and taken to port. Two
seamen, Jesse Maloy, of Sarnia, and
John Kennedy, from near London,
Ontarior, preferred remaining on
the barge, and it is supposed were
drowned. The Morton had on
board about 100000 feet of lumber
bound from Saginaw to Erie. Capt.
Flick says two or three other
barges were laboring heavily, and
it may be other disasters occurred
to the same tow.

Corruption in New York.

Corruption in the Custom House
of New York is attracting the at
tention of the authorities at Wash,
inton. and on Tuesday last Secre-
tary Richardson received informa-
ton to the effect that an investiga-
ton of the manner in which the en-
ployees in the appraisers office and
a number of the deputy collectors
conducted business, it might be
found that the interest of the Unit
ed States were not properly pro-
perly protected, and there were
also suggestions as to fraud and
collision on the part of this class
of officials, including in all about
sixty persons. Those charged with
the investigation said to be now
making in the Custom House, will
not give any information. and all
sorts of rumors are current, one
being that the report to the Secre-
tary was based upon the statement
of a man who, being dissatisfied
with his share of the moneys re-
ceived, revealed all he knew about
the matter. a Washington special
says that Secretary Richardson,
when asked about the truth of the
report published, said, "The Trea-
sury Department is always investi-
eating, not only in New York, but
at every port where there is much
business. 1t is necessary to be
constantly vigilant. Some of the
reports come from apparently dis
interested parties, while at other
times the charges are specifically
made by agents of the department,
who have facilities for detecting
fraud that the mercantile commu-
mites little dream of. In this case,
referring to New York, the infor-
nation filed came from man
whose reports hitherto have been
found strictly correct. Sweeping
as they were, it was the duty of
the Collector to investigate, and
while there is good reason for be-
lieving that a number of the ac-
cused are guilty, some may be in
nocent."

cerned the case stood about as fol-
lows: lie is the representative OF
the Sovereign in the Dominion, and
he has as advisors Ministry which
ON the last test vote taken was sus-
tanned by a large majority in the
House of Commons. The admins
tration of the affairs of the country
Is in the hands of that Ministry,
and the Governor-General is sup
posed to look to others for counsel,
and to act az they advise. Were
he to do otherwise he would assume
to exercise functions which in
Great Britain would not be tamely
submitted to if exercised by the
Queen. If he refused to prorogue
Parliment on the demand of the
Ministry, its resignation would
follow as matter of course, and,
unless the opposition could control
the Commons, it would be an I'M
possibility to form new Ministry,
and the Governor General would
find himself in very unpleasant
position. The Canadian system OF
responsible government is pattern
ed closely after that of Great Brit
ian, and the Governor-General only
did what would be done in Eng
land under similar circumstances.
But while the Governor-General
is thus free from blame, this is not
the case of John A. Mcdonald and
his colleagues in the Ministry.
The Premier was one of the princi-
pal individuals concerned in the
Pacific Railroad scandal, and the
only fair and honorable way for
him to do was to state the way in
which the case stood to Pertinent,
and ask that body to take such ac-
ton as it saw fit. If twas thought
advisable to continue the investi-
eating committee, by adopting
some plan whereby the difficulties
in its way could be removed, or If
it was deemed best to supersede 1t
by a royal commission clothed with
the necessary powers, the respon-
sibility would have rested with
Pertinent, and Sir John A. Me
Donald would not have occupied
the peculiar position of not only
arranging the manner in which the
conduct of himself and colleagues
is to be investigated but ofappoin.-
ing the judges. The Premier chose |
10 do otherwise, however, and by |
lis action has succeeded in post
ooing Parliamentary inquiry for a
season. What the final result will
De depends, so far as he is concern
ID, upon the vigor with which the
'oyal commission prosecutes its i'll
luires, upon the facts which it de-
1elops, and upon the temper of
Parliament upon its reassembling. |
If there has been corruption Par
lament will have it in its power to
severe punishment to
these implicated therein.-Eree

The Canada Corruption.

The Governor-General of Cana
da has not seen fit to follow the
suggestions of the opposition press
as to what he should do in relation
TO the Pacific Railroad inquiry
but has taken action in the matter
in accordance with the views of his
constitutional advisors. Undoubt-
edly considerable odium will at
tach to Lord Dufferin because OF
the course he has pursued, but
really he had but little option, and
II he had done other than he has,
he would not only have been very
justly upbraided for exercising his
prerogativc in an unusual manner,
but might have been recalled by
the home government.
So far as Lord Duffcrin was con-
