Mrs. Bruff's unexpected visit to her hus-
bands establishment revealed some cause
of Jealousy, which, added to the i'll feeling
engendered by her husbands pusillanimity
caused the explosion which brought out the
truth.

and when released emigrated to America
with the cause of the conjugal difficulty.

GOING OUT WITH THE TIDE.

Raise me UP in my bad. wife;
There's the sound of the sea in my ear;

Well wait Gods sweet flood water
To take me OFT with the tide.

Where the early daisies cluster

And the thrush sits chanting softer
In yon tree that shades the dead.
There's chill runs through our hearts, wife
When the narb0r bar doth moan;
Bnt darker grief will be yours. wife,
When you're left In the cot alone;
But few more flows of the sea, wife,
And a few more Gibbs of the tide.
Then Gods sweet flood shall bring you
Again to yOur old mans side

We will clasp them, neer to be sundered

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

There is q land no tai chart hath noted,
Lying remote-a sunset Land OF Ease
Whereto the vOyager is softly ioated.
Across Letnean seas.
It is a region over whose existence
The sha les of doubt and disbelief are cast,
A calm that lies, obscured by night aud distance
Vague visionary, vast.
Whereof haste to bring, o friends and strangers
Some brief account; for am travel worn,
But lately reach ny, after many dangers,
The margins of the morn.
The mountain left the submits dim and hoary,
In melancholy gIandehr, far away;
And all things wear pale aid langud glory,
Unknown to brszen dag.
There ancient Night, her starry rule sustaining
Sways her mild scepter over sea and land;
Amid her royal court serenely reigning.
With Peace at her right hand.
And Sleep, her slave, dusky and huge as Dagou.
Before ner prone and poweriess AS the dead;
One arm still round mis- purple stained dagon.
And one beneath his head.
There all strange beauties rapt Fancy renders
Enchant the inst: from clitis that nod around
White cataIacts, moonstruck with golden spen
Drop down without sound
stin meadows, where nocturnal blooms are grow
Lang,iId with love- lie wrapt in slumherous calm
WoOed by enamored winds so family blowing
From groves OF dfooplng palm
BY winding creek and sed ~ mar lined river,
:. The heavy headed poppies doze and doae,
Narcotic sweetness fills the air forever,
And all things love repose.
And round the land a mighty wall arises
Upon whoae gates eternal starlight geame
Showing legend with antique devices
lnwroushtl The Land OF Dreams.
And by the POI ais wait motley legion
Who lead you onward through delightirl bowers
INTO the falr recesses OF the region
TO beds OF lotus flowers.
Then music rises, silver.cadenced, holy.
c. What time on eiin instruments they play;
Some low and Lydian melody, that slowly
Steals sorrows soul away.
or else you skim lone axes in wizard barges.
By slow and measured motion borne along,
And hear at intervals, blown from the narges
The Fairies choral song
There all night long upon the purple highlands,
The drowsy sentines OF ghOstly towers
Call to Zach other, in the starry silence,
The measure OF the hours
But by no swing of rhyme may endeavor
The music of those mellow bells to show,
Which to those sleepy. sounding voices ever
Did chime responses low.
Most like that delicate and airy ringing
OF which the bulbuthearted HAITI tells
When, with the zephyrs fluctuations swinging,
The lilies shake their bells.
There clear reflections of the days departed,
Like wlerd auroras, flush the silent sky
And phantoms of the lost, the tender hearted
Embrace us lovingly.
There haggard Anguish peacefully reposes,
And darling aims unhappy love enfold;
Despair lies down upon bed of roses,
And Penury wades in gold.
The mother feels again upon her bosom
The tendtr pressure OF her dsrling's head,
And clasps shade of that transplanted blossom
By angels covered.
Heaven opens awful on the Christians vision,
He fears, and sees, with half suspended breath
The white .robed elders, the palms elysian,
And Jesus conquering Death

Mr.. Brutf was prosecuted and convicted
for stealing my fathers will, the circum-
stantial evidence being too strong to break
down, although we were precluded from
calling Hannah, wife's evidence being in.
valid. 1t appeared that Mr.. Bruff and
Hannah had obtained complete ascendency
over my father, and had persuaded him to
make the will that had been produced
after his death. The clause which my
father had insisted upon, making void the
bequest in case of Hannah marrying after
his decease, they. had eluded by q secret
marriage during his life. Mr.. Bruff had
succeeded also in insuring the life of his
wife for 10000 to secure his interest in her
annuity. My return and reconciliation
with my father had upset all their plans,
and the making OF the new will had driven
them to desperation. Ny father was too
much afraid Of his housekeeper to openly
defy her, and he had written his will with
his own hands, and had called Hannah and
Bridget 1.-THE hOusemaid) to witness his sig
nature without telling her of the real ma
ture of the document. But Hannah had
detected his purpose, and had determined
to defeat it. He had not ventured to de.
stroy the old will, but had placed the new

the keys in his own possession. Hannah,
knowing that he could not live many days,
had brought Mr.. Bruff over to Haiton to
help her. He was to keep watch till my
father died. The signal Of his death was
conveyed from Hannah's bedroom window.
The brass bird-cage hanging in the window
by day, and q light burning there at
night, were signals that my father was still
alive. The moment when had seen the
light disappear had been the momenf 0f NV
fathers death, which Hannah then con-
cealed from me till their arrangements
were completed. Thus Bruff was let in at
the back door, possessed himself of the
keys, opened the strong box, purloined the
new will, and handed it over 10 Hannah to
