By TIE SHORE oF TEE RIVER.

Through the gray willows the bleak winds are
Here on the shore with its drift-7yood aud sands
over the river the lilies are waving,
BGthed in the sunshine of Orient lands;
Over the river, the wide, dark river
SIrIng-tiIne and SIMMER are blooming forever.
Here, all alone ON the rocks, am sitting,
Sitting and waiting,-uly comrades all gOne,-
Shadows Of mystery drearily fitting
over the surf with its sorrowful moan;
Over the river, the strange, cold river.
All! must I wait for the bOatman forever?
Wife and children and friends were around me,
Labor and rest were as wings to my soul;
Honor and love we're the IaureIs 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 back boat DER the pillows;
Stcalthily grated the keel on the sand;
Rustliug footsteps heard through the willows
There the dark bOatman stood waving his hand,
Whispering, - 1 come DER the shadOwy river;
She who. is dearest must leave thee forever"
Suns that were brightest and skies that were bIUest
DGrkened and paed in the message he bore.
Year after year went the fOndest, the trUest,
Following that beckOning hand to the shore,
Down to the river, the cold, grim river,
Over whose waters they vanished forever.
Yet not in visions Of grief have I wandered;
Still have I toiled though my ardOrs have flown.
Labor Is manhood, and life IS but squandered
Dreaming vague dreams Of the future 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, mufiied oar,
Gides DER the waves, and hear the keel grating,
See the dim, reckoning hand on the shore,
Waiting over the welcoming river
To gardens and homes that are shining forever

Rinening for Death.

No one. says Won Humboldt, can fear
death less than do, neither am I much
attached to life; but 1 have never
known the feeling Of an anxious long
ing for death; and although it be a no
bier one than that of an absolute weari-
ness of existence, 1t Is nevertheless
bIamabIe. Life must first, for as long
q period as Providence wills it, be en-
ioyed or suffered-in one word, gone
through, and that with a full submiss-
ION, without murmuing, lamenting, or
repining. There is one important law
Of nature which We should never lose
sight of mean that of the ripeniug
for death. Death is not a break IN ex-
istence, it is but an intermediate cir
cumstance-a transition from one form
of our finite existence to another. The
moment OF maturity for death cannot
be decided by any human wisdom or
inward feeling, and to attempt to do %
would be nothing better than the vain
rashness Of human pride. That decis-
ion can only be made by Him who can
at once look back through our whole
course and both reason and duty re-
quire that we should leave the hour to
Him, and never rebel against His de
crees by a single impatient wish. The
first and most important thing is, to
learn TO master ourselves, and to throw
ourselves with peaceful confidence on
Him who never changes, looking on
every situation, whether pleasant or
otherwise, as a source from which our
interior existence and individual char
acter may draw increasing strength;
and hence springs that entire submlss-
ion WHICH few attain to, although all
fancy they feel It.
Conscience warns us as Il friend before
it Furnishes us as judge.

Literature and Journalism.

Every age has its interpreter there
was the age of the drama there was
the age of the pamphlet there was the
age of the novel. This is the age of
the newspaper. The journalist Is, to-
dav. what but n little while ago the
novelist was. what a little while before
the dramatist was, the observed of all
observers, for he IS an exceptional
new creation, a man, in deed, like his
feIIow-men, but possessed with strange,
invisible powers, which effect mems
lives, fortunes, and characters; not
merely an abstract and brief chronicler
of the time, as the player used to be
said to be; something more than
myth or an almanac. There viii never
he another Dickens. The romance of
Yesterday, with its moving incidents
and real figures, viii engage the inter
est of vigorous writer's as they engage
that of the public, and as fictitious sit
nations and conditions are pretty we'll
exhausted, actual situations and condE
tions, brilliantly written out for the
daily newspaper, VIII take the place Of
imaginary scenes and passions. As
Congreve and Sheridan were, as Dick
ems and Thackeray were, the journalist
may be, and partly is already; man
in whom public interest, great or less
according to his genius, IS taken a
man who, loving his fellOw-men, has
it in his power to be loved by them.
The process is very simple. To he
kindly, honest, fearless, capable, that
is all and I name kindliness first, be
cause if a newspaper would be popular
it must, like an individual, carry
pleasant aspect it mnst be amiable and
unpretentious speaking the language
and wearing tie habiIiments Of the pco-
pie; bone of their bone and flesh Of
their flesh, a sincere as well as an effect

and fancies. If Shakespeare lived IN
our time, conceiving him 20 have been
robust, bIithe, and hearty person
conceiving him to have been what we
understand by an able person and an
able-bodied, and, withal, a most gay
and festive person, take leave to doubt
whether he would find the drama the
best vehicle for his overfowing wisdom,
his exhuberant wit, humor, and fancy,
his amazing activity and wonder that
a man Of such varied and large resources,
of such vigorous, current, and racy
faculties as Dion Boucicault, should be

about the word and writing plays, when
he might be. had he bent himself that

A BILL, known as the Professional
Criminal Bill, has been ordered to n
third reading in the New York Assem-
bly,, which is described rs n measure to
furnish professional criminals n short
cut to the pemitentiary. The bill pro-
vides that the police may arrest persons
who are we'll known to them as pick
pockets, sneak thieves, counterfeiters
or confidence men. when they find them
in suspicious positions, that is to say,
at churches, standing in the crowded
vestibules of theaters or hotels, push
ing their way through street cars, or
lettering about banks and auction rooms.
They must be taken before a Nagis-
trate, who, if satisfied that such persons
have no honest means of support and
are professional criminals resorting to
the places named for unlawful purposes,
may sentence them to prison for three
months, or to give satisfactory bonds
for good behavior for one year. Tt also
provides that persons charged upon
affidavits with being professional crjmi-
nails may be placed upon trial without
the presentation of immediate acts, and
be punished as in the other case.

she lived a long way Off She had heard
that the graves were covered by water,
and she feared that her mothers would

BROKE UP THE FLOB

months. and on which stood their homo S
OF snow and newly-stored stock Of food.
The foe, which had been nearly five
miles IN circumference, was by this I'M
toward calamity reduced to a pan of ice
no more twenty yards in diameter. The
consequence was that they concluded,
by the advice of Captain Tyson, and
after much alteration and difference of
opinion, to abandon their late home
and endeavor to regain the main pack.
This was done on the 1st of April, and,
with the foe and huts, they also aban-
dOnod all their stock of meat, a large
quantity of ammunition, clothing,
skins and other articles. A small por-
ton of the meat was put into the boat,
in which they now again took to the
water; but, owing to the boat being too
heavily laden, it became necessary to
throw that overheard. On the Sd and
4th of April the outer edge of
THE MAIN BODY OF ICE WAS RECLAIMED,
And some progress made inwards. The
elements still adverse, a tremendous
gale and heavy sea breaking the ice
into yet smaller pieces, continuously
hindered and threatened them with de-
struction, so that they were obliged to
confne themselves to small pars,
changing their positions from time to
time as danger necessitated. It was
impossible to launch the boat, no seals
could be taken, and actual starvation
was inevitable. It was at this crisis
that, on the 21st of April, fortune sent
the Polar bear, which they happily OBJ
tanned possession of as above described.
The boat was afterward got into the
water, and they worked their way west
and southwest every day in the hope of
reaching some part of the Labrador
coast. The only then remaining shelter
was a canvass tent, erected after the
annihilation of the winter camp. On
the ODD of April the boat happened to
become separated from this tent some
soven or eight feet. The weather,
which had been fine for some days pre-
viously, with hardly any wind, sudden

PUDDING AND PIES NOT UNHEALTHY.
There Is probably a great deal OF
truth in the following extract, which we
make from DIR. Halls Journal Of
Health: The universal error as to the
unheaIthfuIness Of pies, Puddlngs, and
pastries, taking it for granted that they
are well made and properly cooked,
has arisen from the simple fact that af-
ter we have made full meal of other
things. the stomach is oppressed by
them, and if the process IS repeated,
becomes eventually dyspeptic; that is,
had not the power to work up the food,
because it had been worked to death al
ready. It would be quite as philosoph-
ical that if a nan has become very tired
by pIowing all day, and afterward, by
chopping wood, has worked him
