ROSE TERRY COOKE.


Lay down my head, dear, it's no use to cry
Ny trouble is passed, am going 10 die;
The hill-path Il over. I'm beat in the race,
For the VIVID OF the world always blew in my
face.
TIN daunt me no more, but mind how IL blew
1 slipped and fell, and Tried il anew;
But, fight you or fee, it's desperate case
To clambe up hill with the wind in your face
Sweet, sweet are the meadows, by river or rill,
Where the turf is all green and the weather.
But people can't all have the easiest place
The wind must be blowing In somebody's iace-
I'm tired of 1t, MsryI I'm glad to be gone,
You're better without me, you won't be alone:
You have borne with my sorrows a wearliui
space
And the wind that dismayed me has blown in
your face.
Goodbye, little maidie. l never shall stand
In your sunshine, my darling, my rose OF the
landi
My trouble your bright head shall never absse-
The wind of the world neyeru blow In your
face.
Goodbye. dears, goodbye. I won't kiss you
again,
Pm far out too weary to lengthen my pain.
Just cover me over; III lie in my place
Till the wind is all quiet that blew in my face.
The heavenly sunshine will warm me up there,
No wild wind tempest shall vex the soft air
When the last sob is uttered, God grant me his
grace

IMPORTATION OF COOLIES.

KooPMANsCHAP's LAST VISIT TO CHINA-PRo-
POSED EXPLOITATION OF 10000 COOLIES
FROM CHINA TO BRAZIL.
The San Francisco Chronicle of late date
gives the following concerning new move
ment IN the question of imported labor:
Cornelius Koopmanschap arrived from
China yesterday on the Alaska, having been
absent from San Francisco six months. His
last Asatic tour was made as the rep
resentative of company in Rio
Janeir2, which desires TO import
Chinese laborers into Brazil. Mr.. Koop-
manschap looks well after his long voyage,
though the accomplishment of his object is
somewhat delayed by unexpected events
His objective point was Canton. The vice.
roy of that province, on former visit, had
promised to assist him in obtaining all the
ulsted district. On reaching the city be
found the viceroy dead and temporary
ruler in his place. The new yiceroy was
not willing to assume any responsibility
til treaty was made, and so Mr.. KOopman-
schap is going back to Brazil to see that a
formal alliance is concluded between that
country and the Chinese Empire. He will
remain in San Francisco about month
before leaving for Rio Janeiro. All neces-
ssry preliminary arrangements having been
made, he will return to China to superin-
tend the embarkation of the emigrants. He
thinks that after the abolition of slavery
Brazil will need 100000 Chinese laborers.
They will be employed on the plantations,
largely in the cultivation OF coffee and

A DREAM.

The early moonlight. faint and meek.
Fell in white lines across her bed.
And turned TO gems on lash anu chSek

ssleen coming with the shadows, brought
A slow relief from grievous thought.

The sense OF loss too hard 10 bear.

she lost the world; so tardily,
Another consciousness was born.
And then she dreamed that she was free,
Wandering beyond her lifes foriorn;
And soul and body still were wed,
Although IL seemed that she was oeau'
some mighty power, unseen and strong
She strove to breast It's pillows long;
And, as she struggled YEARLY,
she saw a low black line OF sncres
With lights upon ii, just before.
And, striving still more urgently,
She almost reached the wished for ianoi
Then great wave rose In the sea,
And bore her over rocks and strand;
Rolled back, and left her there, alone
And helpless in land unknown.
But while she lay there. torn and bruised,
And dripping with the chilly pIlne,,
sthe seemed to see, with sense conIuseui
The darkness round about her shine,
10 feel q touch that charmed all PAIN
And one bent near with plying face,
So crave, so gentle, and SO sweet
So full of promise and OF grace,
She smiled, while lying at bis Ieet-
IA homesick children, home once more,
Forget the grief that came before.
He led her to the inner land
The night was hard beset by day

And softly lit upon her head;
She knew il for petted dove
She loved In childhood, long since dead;
The Christ sni led, as she spoke 1ts name,
And SAID, We kept it till you came"
And there were flowers and trees and sky
All wraiths Of olden memory:
Each tiny detail, far and nigh,
The Christ said, +" Seel they are the same;
We kept them for you I'LL you came
Then suddenly she heard voice
II made her very heart rejoice
At comfort 1t had wanted long.
She knew ere sight could satisfy,
He she had mOurned for stood close by.
Again her radiant Leader smiled

For God keeps all he takes away.
Again He said, "Ihey are the samei

Then lived a Joy that naught can tell;
Delight that filled innnlty;
Love- with no former parallel,
And utter peace that heaven made Free
But breaking through this glimpse OF grsce,
A murIner seemed to I'LL the place.
The vision faded, passed away,
And left the darkness blank and old

Dispute About IA Child.

CASE BEFORE ESQ. HAaANY-HE AWARDS TO A
MOTHER CHILD WHICH sHE GAVE AWAY FIVE
YEARS AGO.
A case parallel to one which was heard in this
city about a year ago, and with, we believe. the
same result came up before ESQ. Hagany this
morning. 1t was an action begun by Mary Miles
to recover from William Duckery the possession
of her child, five years and some three or four
months old.
1t seems that shortly after the birth of the
child, which occurred in Duckery's house be-
fore the marriage of the mother, the infant was
given to Duckerys wife, in the presence OF wit
nesses, to be by her reared and to be regarded
and in every way treated by her as her own. Time
passed on, Duckery's wife bestowing upon the
child mothers affection, and teaching it to
recognize her AZ its mother. In this she seems
to have been entirely successful, and the child
seems also to have conceived a fatherlv regard
for Duckery.
Recently, however, Duckerys wife died, and
after her death, Mary Caulk, who had become
Mary Miles by marriage, demanded possession
of the child, and brought the action to regain
it, After hearing OF the case Esq. Hagany
could not do otherwise under the law than
restore the child to it's mother, although the
act seemed unnatural one in one
sense, and seemed wholly distasteful to the
child itself which shrank away from its mother
and cried most piteously as she bore it away.
Duckery will, he says present claim for the
maintenance of the child.

the thought of the danger that surrounded her
WAS the motive that prpmntad the act.

the thought of the danger that surrounded her
was the motive that prompted the act
The influence of the evening WIS particularly
inspiring, and the impetuous nature OF the Count
burst out into extravsgant expressions OF love
and tenderness. Now, for the first time did the
scales fall from Netties eyes, 80 that she saw
clearly her position. She resented the words
| addressed to her by her companion, and, with
all the dignity OF her outraged womans nature
threw back the insult offered to her wedded
love-
But it was vain to strive to check the fountain
pant up in the breast of the young Count. She
found, too late, that her will was powerless. He
entreated her to fly with him to his own country,
doris of that country. Nettie would have torn
herself from him had she possessed the power
to do 30, but her companion had claaped her
arm, and, ~ If fearing to lose his prize, held
her almost frantically in his strong grasp.
"All stratagems are fair in love, my pretty
Nettie, said the Count 81 have prepared this
little surprise for you"
At this moment II strong arm was laid upon
the Count and powerful grasp wrested the
lady from his hold, and bore her swiftly toward
the carriage. The Count was upprepared for
resistance, and the surprise of the attack 30 nm
settled him as to leave chance for regainng
the lady
"Take this lady to the---hotel ~ said the
stranger, with voice that carried authority with
it. "She has tainted and must be. taken i'm
mediately to her room"
The:coachman hesitated, not understanding the
turn affairs had taken.
"Go !" SAID the rescuer, " and your most e1-
travagant demands shall be satisfied"
At the promise OF better remuneration the
coachman enlisted IN the strangers cause and
and without further delay hurried the horses
over the road. The Count saw with the greatest
chagnn the failure of his stratagem, and, TO
| avoid any personal exposure, left the Branch i'll
the early morning boat.
When Nettie again became conscious, she
raised her head, which had been pillowed on her
husbands shoulder, and joyfully gave vent to
her feelings.
80 George my dear, true husband from
what danger have you rescued mep Take me
home with you, and teach me i'll the future
how / eau best prove myself worthy of your
love-"
500 not reproach yourself, Nettie; your danger
is past. / am guilty CT participation in the
wrong brought upon you. We will begin
new life together, and God give us strength to
persevere in it, and be made better by the
experience through which we have passed.
Nettie WAS soon able to accompany her hua-
band home to the city. The bitter trial through
which she had passed had taught her that there
is something more noble for woman to receive
than admiration and fattery.
