LAMENT.
By WALTER SAVAGE LAsDoRs.


loved him not: and yet, now he is gone,
feel am alone
checked him while he spoke; yet could he
speak,
Alasl would not check.
For reasons not to love him once sought,
And wearied all my thought
To vex myself and him; now would give
My love, could he but live
Who lately lived for me, and when he found
Twas vain, in holy ground
He hid his face amid the shades Of deathI
i waste for him my breath
Who wasted his for me! but mine returns,
And this lorn bosom burns
With sitting heat, heaving 1t up in sleep,
And waking me to weep
Tears that had melted his soft heart for years
Wept he as bitter tears!
"Merciful GodT such was his latest prayer,
"These may she never shared"
Quieter is his breath, his breast more cold
Than daisies in the mold,
where children spell, athwart the churchyard
gate,
His name and LIES brief date.
Pray for him, gentle souls, whoe'er you be,
And oh, pray too for mel

and Bishop, paying for it out of
her own money, and made
the needful preparations for depsr-
ture. He was to remain in barracks until
the latest possible moment, and then de-
camp. An unforeseen difficulty arose, how
ever, just at the important moment. IL was
impossible for him to quit the barracks
without being observed. He had TO pass
sentry whose duty required MIN to prevent
the egress of any one, unless properly au-
thorized to pass. Bishop was
INA DREADFUL EXTREMITY,
and did not know how to escape the d.
lemms. The hour for the departure of the
vessel was close at hand. and he was, to all
intents and purposes, a prisoner. What
could he do? He made a confidant of the
sentry, and boldly offered to pay his passage
TO America If he would go along with him.
The sentry, whose name was William Black
man, was not unwilling to accept liberty
and free passage to the land OF free
dom. He accepted the offer,
went off together. The girl, rather than
lose her lover and subject him to capture
and severe punishment, paid the sentry's
passage. The two men dressed themselves
as civilians and got safely on board the
vessel and awav to the shores of this glori-
Gus country. For some reason or 9th er

with the girl who had purchased his free
dom. They lived together and child was
born, which, it is alleged, Blsckman, alias
Bishop, removed to some unknown gusrdi-
anship. The girl got work. and out of SI4 a
month she earned gave Blackmsn, alias
Bishop, $40 every month. AT length Black
man, alias Bishop, procured work as a
coachman with Mr.. Woodward, of Clinton
avenue. Soon after this his wife was taken
i'll, and she sent to him for aid. He refused
il, and informed her that he would have
nothing more to do with her, as he was
going to get married. A kind woman took
the deserted wife into her family and cared
for her.snd on Monday next Judge Walsh
will say whether or not Biackmau, alias
Bishop, is bound to support her.

DUAL DISCRETION.

WRETCH WHO DESERTED THE WOMAN
THAT ASSISTED HIM TO DESERT FROM THE
BRITISH ARMY.
The Brooklyn Evening Eagle of Friday
tells the story as follows: The other day a
pretty little English girl caused the arrest
through Counsellor James w. Ridgwsy, OF
one William Blackman, for abandonment,
and Justice Walsh reserved his decision In
the matter until Monday next. The full
history of the case is romantic and full OF
interest. William Blackman is not
William Blackman, but another man alto
gether. His name is Henry Bishop, and be
is about thirty years OF age. He was q
the acquaintance of the girl who claims to
be his wife. She was then about nineteen,
pretty and confding. Bishop paid his
addresses to her, but there was nothing
beyond this until she became possessed of 8
small sum of money, left her by q relative
When Bishop ascertained this important
fact, he appears to have concocted nice
little plot in his own mind, with view OF
securing the girl and his own liberty
from military servitude at the same time

that she should elope with him, but in orde,
to do this it was necessary that he should

to consent to have the marriage ceremony

A oUAKER,s oHRIsrMAs-EyE.
BY FANNIE R. ROBINSON.

I'm Harper's for January.l
How slow and soft the snow. dress falls
Upon the vine-deserted walls
As IL some gracious soul, intent
Upon the one sweet deed it meant,
Since in its grace such bounty lay,
should wrap each bare thing on the way,
Till AL things white and whittier grow
Except the shadows Earth must throw.
The tender gray, the peaceful white,
a Quaker setting make tonight;
And so this moonsnine, which Is shade
Only little lighter laid,
Into my heart-still mood has crept,
with such a glow as sunrise kept
When youth and Benjamin were mine
All swift the slowest years incline,
And sunrise has no story now
To move me like the night and snow.
II those unquiet bells would cease
Clashing their peals across this peace,
1t seems the hour s rare silentneSS
Zen worldly hearts might chide and bless,
And lift the lowest heavenward
To greet the birthday of the Lord.
/ can not think the Ioudest bells
Can utter what a pure voics tells;
The Spirit needs no hrazen tone
To whisper triumph 10 His own;
The blessed healing falls to them
Who touch unseen the garments hem;
And hidden deeds are waited higher
Than chantipgs of an angel choir.
Hosanna still The mad lips cry,
While still the mad hands cruelty;
But ansels watch and women weep,
And theirs the Rising after sleep.
How careth He for Christmas song
To whom all days and songs belong?
Only an ebblng love has need
It's high-tide readings thus to heed.
Always the willing angels sing
To WORKOUT workers listening;
Always our Christ is in the earth,
Always His love has human birth
In JOY that crowns cur later morn
AS In Judean Christmas born.
And yet mind how every year,
When my ripe birthdays draw anear,
Dear Ruth, from out her gayer life,
With worldly hope and wisdom rife.
Comes to the quiet nest once more,
Bringing the smile her father wore,
And little gracious gifts, to tell
She Keeps Dy some nigh miracle
The simple heart meath costly lace,
That needs double grant of grace,
Though all the year Ruth'S tender eyes
To mine are openings of the skies,
Though love unsaid be love complete,
/ find the special service sweet.
And so, perhaps, these louder chimes,
Smoothing the prose-told hours to rhymes,
Like some rare voice God sets to round
The Earring ones OF shriller sound:
These spires with grand and silly art,
CHM bling to reach The Central Heart,
These broken lilies, and the rush
OF feet where leaning angels hush
May be to clearer eyes than mine
Fresh spellings of a tale dfviI e
And He whose birthday knew no bliss
Except a wOman's troubled kiss,
May still forgive the foolish art,
And hide the meaning in His heart.

Harlan in any respect. This Democrats scknow-
ledge, and SO much 30 that some of them are dis
posed to sneer at McCreary. With nothing of
any force said on their side, and much of great
force on the opposite, it s difficult for pre-
judice to resist. So Harlan is very much en-

THE DAY wEHAvEcE EcELEBRATED.

Reports from various quarters Indicate that |
the Anniversary of the Declaration of American |
Independence was celebrated this year more
generally than has been the case for long time.
There are various good reasons why this should
have happensd-chief among them being the
returning good feeling between the North and
South, and the influence Of the Centennial per-
iod which makes itself felt with daily increasing
strength. The Bunker Hill celebration showed
that the Southern people have all tho pride of
birth Of old and that they are moved to claim
their full share of the glories Of American citi-
zenship. The festival of yesterday gave rem
ewed assurance of the same kind, for it seems
to have been observed throughout the Southern
country with a warmth and uuanimity not at
tanned at any other time since the War. The
Centennial influence, ,again, was plainly visible at
AL points in the festival, and it is not to be
doubted that the people as a whole were quite
alive to the spirit of the time and the fact that
the celebration WAS the immediate precursor Of
one hundredth anniversary of our liberties.
The Fourth Of July has been observed in our
history with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and
such will doubtless be its record in the future,
but that 1t will always remain our cbiefest holi-
day lie rs certain as anything can we'll be. The
celebration of next year will be the most impos-
ing of the series-one of the grandest out-pour-
ings ever made by any country in the world,
and the echoes of it will so fill the succeeding
years that for decade at least we may expect
the holiday to be more brilliant than it has ever
been up to this time. After that longer or short
er period there will very likely be falling or,
but the standard Of excellence will be none the
less advanced, and the value and Importance Of
the holiday will be impressed with renewed force
upon the successors Of tho present generation
1t might have been better for the material in
terests Of the holiday if it had fallen at some
other season of the year, but the condition of
things being unavoidable there is nothing to be
done but to make the best of them. The "Sign-
ers /" could not stop to reflect that they were To-
eating our leading festival in the heats OF mid
summer, and they had no notion of the far-off
splendors Of the Centennial. 1t 30 happened
that they took that weighty step when they did
and having taken it the day is made sacred to
patriotism and must be so as long as we are com
petent to call ourselves nation. Yesterday was
q fit preparation and rehearsal for next year
better could not be said of it,
