MIDNIGHT.

P3le Luna ahed her silver light
Across the moor and DER tho lake,
The nlght-hawk wiug'd his weary digit; =.
The whip poor-will anon did break
The aoitude with do.efui note;
Tnx cricket tn the creviced rock,
Repeating DER aud DER his rote, -
Tue dismal scene did seem to mock; "
The owl upon ha withered perch -
Did hoazsely boot his lonesome i1ys
The gtow-wor1n lit his lurid torch,
And YEARLY crnwIed on his way. :.
We sat upon the lonely ahoro; y.
The waves we're breaking ut our !ect, -
With solemn low, continuous roar; !.
The red lights on the fishing deet ~
Rocked to and fro against the aky. ~:
We saw the mtst-wreaths hurryfng BY,
Like loving things compelled By Fate
To- seek some distant, unknown state.
Alas weak words can never tell
The sadness which upon us fell
40 trick Of rhyme can h2N-expEesa
Th6 deep deapair and loueliness,
The fearful, melancholy mood,
Barn OF the bouudless solitude
hare aeen times when inner aight
Seemed open on the Infinite,
Al II the fower OF Gods great plan
Were slowly blossoning for man,
SO that my sont tegan to SEQ

Not 40 that night. Tho darkness drew
Like mist about my soul. j felt i
That there was nothing that knaw:
My very aoul did seem to melt ~
The SAD WAVES breaking on the shore,
As down the rocka the sloW tide fell,
Were moaning for the nereTnore-

| yesterday morning. The defendants' counsel
! began reading an affidavit in support OF their

for it. After waiting about half an hour the Pc
] tition WAS brought and fled by Mr. G. ". Con-
etantine, associate counsel for Mr.. Haver1y. It
WIS then read, and was to the effect that the petit
tioner. J. f. Haverly, feared he could not have

On account Of his prejudice. Mr. E. II.
Haines and S. II. Millard, the solicitors for the
defendants then read their own afadavlts, in which
they alleged that they had had no notice
whatever Of the motion to be made for change Of
venue. Both counsel then argued that no rea-
eonahle notice had been given, that tho petition
WAS insufficient. and that copy ofit should have
been served with the notice.

with the statnte, and MAS sufficient. The notice

THE COLOMBIAN REBELLIoN.
Indications that the Panama Farce IL TO be
Repeated in Cartbageua.

PANAMA. Nov. 17.-The national troops,
with Gen. Csmargo, their commander-in-
chief, left this city on the 18th, bound for
Carthagena, where, II they arc allowed to
enter, they may perform the same farce
they did here. Carthagena Is, however, a
strong point, and much more defensible than
Panama-that ia, II the inhabitants are deter
mined to hold out. The battalion "Zapadores,"
OF 30 men, has been left TO garrison the city
and look to the transit.
The rebellion Of the States on the coast has
caused to the National Treasury an expense OF
S1.OO,OOO and the Custom Houses were robbed
OF t2OO,0VO. Public works have been suspended, f.,
trade Is parayzed, and many Colombians have
lost their lives, all, says the Government press,
to defend a phantom cslled State sovereignty.
The foreign bondholdcrs and capitalists Of
Europe have been frightened. These and host
OF other evils have been caused TO the country
by the Nunist revolutionaries. Nor is there any
certainty that tho evil hFs stopped Tho rcvo-
luton which has just been put down, was got
w under the pretence that the Federal
Government had attacked the sovereignty Of
the states. The revolution OF to omorrow may
take for IA pretext, that the rights OF the people
are IA danger. Tue BogOta papers recommend
the government to employ the severest rcstric L
i've measure to keep the country at peace.
