"The malicious wretch = cried Je-
rome, in a voice of thunder, as he
raised his whip over the head OF the
old horse jockey, who, terrified, relned
the mare backward, crying out, "Je-

Suddenly the mare slipped, she was
on the brink of the ravine. Jerome
darted forward, seized the bride.
Pierre tried to keep his seat, but he
fell, rolled into the ravine, crying, de
rome Jerome pardon-the mare,
The voice became more distant, and
then was heard no more. Jerome stood
there on the brink, pale, immovable,
listening to the accents of that dying
voice, that re-echoed on his troubled
mind. Ahorrible silence then pervaded
the glen; and he istened again. \

Sunset After a Shower.

over the hlll-tops, fold upon fold,
Like blood-stained banners within the sky.
Braided with crimson and fringed with gold
In sea Of amber the spent clouds lie
Down in the valley the siumb'rous trees
Droop heavily jeweled with fallen rain;
And spicy-scented tremulous breeze
In ripples crosses the bending grain
The winding river, like silver, CLEANS
Through dreamy vistas that melt and fade
And the sunlight, falling in sianting beams.
Strikes deep i'll the heart of the forests shade.
On distant uplands the lonely pine
Is ringed with purple and bound with fire;
The stones III the churchyard glance and shine.
And the weathervane is gilded WIRE
The taperlng cedar, like spear
Shoots out Of the cliff, where stands revealed
The rocky ledge; and tue herd appear
Like spots of color within the field.
And the braided banners of cloud are seen
To fiercer burn, as with sudden shame;
While the vale below and the hills between
Are drowned III yellow mist of flame.
And farmers boy all aglare with light,
Looks the cliff where the cedars grow,
And shades with his hand his dazzled sight,
And calls to his comrades down below
Then the brazen Woodlands echo aud ring,
And the earth and the sky seem to shout wit
him:
pearly arch is the hawks fleet wing:
And the sweltering landscape seems to SWIM
| On yondel hillside cottage shines
| The window westward flashes and CLOVIS!
| 1t nestes amid its shelterng vines
| OF glistening ivy, like rose.
! And there in the porch two lovers
! Her slender kSure his arms enfold:
While doves in the dove-cot bill and COO
And rufe their necks of green and gold.

Lines on Light.

Mysterious night when our first parent knew
Thee from report divine, and heard thy name,
Did be not treinbe for this Lowell anne,
This glorious canopy of light ana bae?
Yet meath the curtain of translucent dew,
Bathed i'll the rays OF the great setting fame
Herperus with the host of heaven came,
And 10, Creation widened in mans view.
Who could have thought such darkness lay concealed
Within thy beams o sun. or who could find,
While fly, aud leaf, and insect lay revealed,
That to such countless orbs thou madst us blind !
Why do we then shun death with anxious strife?
If light can thus deceive, wherefore not life?

The Metternich- MOntebpiio Duel.

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Telegraph writes, May % The
duel between Prince Metternich and the
Comte De Montebello was fought to-
day at st. Cloud. The quarrel origi-
mated, as | have already stated, III a
slight given to the Comte De Monte
betlO by the Princess De Metternich, at
ball. The Comte demanded satisfac-
ton of the Prince for the atfront. The
latter, III reply, was ready to accept the
challenge, but denied that he had given
any otfense, as he could not hold him
self responsible for words uttered by
his wife, ut an entertainment at which
he was not present. Some difficulty
therefore arose as to the right of Mon
tebello to consider himself as the az
grleved party, and consequently of his
title to make the choice of weapons.
The Comte's seconds at length publish
ed the correspondence and declared
that they washed their hands of the
affair. In consequence of this publici-
ty, however, the duel was regarded as
necessary, and Montebello, in order to
end the discussion as to the choice of
arms, left 1T to Metternich, who, re-
nounclng the pistol, accepted the sword,
and with this weapon the duel was
fought. Prince Metternich was slight
ly wounded. He was sufficiently well,
however, to return to Paris in the even
ing and dine with his friends.

One Dog Communicates Good News to
Another.

In the fall of 1861, my son, Sidney
C., entered the federal army, leav-
ing behind him two favorite dogs, both
of whom greatly lamented his absence.
He was soon captured by the enemy
and held prisoner until the spring OF
1862, when he was exchanged; and on
returning to his command came past
the old homestead in the country, IN
Bollinger county, Mo. Both the dogs
happened to be about 300 yards from
the house, barking up tree at a spur
rel. After some time, however, the
smaller one became tired and came to
the house, the larger one remaining ut
the tree The little fellow came
bounding into the room where his
Young master. who had been SO long
absent. was sitting, and recognized
him, and of course had quite taking
on over him. The pleasure of once
more meeting his kind master was too
great to be enjoyed all alone, SO he
quickly turned his course Ill the dlrec-
ton of his companion i'll the woods, and
III all speed made his way to the tree,
and communicated to the large dog the
tact of his Young master arrival home
when, IN on instant, both the dogs were
making for the house with all then
might, the larger one, which had re
manned at the tree, taking the lead, and
not Stacking his speed until he bound
ed into the room where Sidney was.
.uhe strange part OF this story contests
IN the fact that the small dog not only
communicated to the large one the fact
that Sidney had come home, but il
some way told him the identical room
in which he would find him, as he ran
around the house and in at the very
door where Sidney was sitting, without
ever hating or even turning his head
toward several other doors which he
had to pass IN making the circuit-St
