THE TWO TRAVELLERS,
DY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT

| III WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Twas evening, and before my eyes
There lay landscape gray and dim;
Fields family seen and twilight skies
/ And clouds that hid the horiz on's brim.
! SAVIOR was it that dreamcds--
A waking dreamg-I cannot say;
For every shape as real seemed
As those that meet my eye today.
| Through lcafess shrubs the cold wind Kissed
The air was thick with falling snow;
And onward, through the frozen mist,
saw weary traveller 60.
Driven o'er that landscape bare and bleak,
Before the whirling gusts of air,
The snow flakes smote his withered check,
And gathered on his silver hair.
Yet on he Jared through binding SHOWS,
And mnrmurng to himself he said
'The night is near, the darkness grows,
And higher rise the drifts tread.
Deep, deep each Autumn flower they hide;
Each tuft of green they whelm from sight :;
And they who journeycd by my side
Are lost in the surrounding night.
II loved them; oh, no words can tell
The love that to my friends bore;
We parted with the sad farewell
OF those who part to meet no more.
And I, who face this bitter wind,
And DER these snowy hillocks creep,
Must end my journey soon and find
A frosty couch, q frozen sleep"
Twas evening still, and in the West
flush of glowing crimson lay
saw the morrow there and blest
That promise of glorious day.
The waters, in their CLASSY sleep,
Shone with the haes that tinysd tn, sky,
And rugged cliff and barren steep
Cleaned with a brightness from on high
And ono was there whose journey lay
Into the slowly gathering night;
With heavy step he held his way
O'er shadowy vale and cleaning height.
l marked his firm though weary tread,
The lifted eye and brow serene,
And saw no shade of doubt or dread
Pass DER that travellers placid mien
And Others came, their journey Ger,
And bade good night with words of cheer
Tomorrow we shall meet once more;
It's but the night that parts us here"
And l" he said, "shai sleep ere long
These fading CLEANS will soon be gone
Shall sleep, to rise, refreshed and strong,
In this bright day that yet will dawn
heard; | watched him as he went,
A lessening form, until the light
u evening from the armament
Had passed, and he was lost to sight.

mas he undertook to represent the
character himself, and after dressing
himself in fur cap and buffalo robe
and loading himself with toys. he
went up to the roof of the house, and
climbed into the chimney, to which
he had fixed rope which hung down
the tlue. BY some means he managed
to get into the wrong ilue, and in
stead of coming down into the room
where his wife and children were
waiting for him, he tumbled clear in-
to the kitchen and rolled out on the
floor with veil. The kitchen girl
was sitting there communing with
her lover, red haired man named
McGinnis. When Mr.. Lamb arrived
she screamed and tainted, but Mr..
McGinns was not at all scared ;and as
he supposed that the intruder was a
burgler, he attacked Mr. Lamb with
poker, emptied the coal scuttle on
him, kicked him through the door
and then handed him over to a pass
ing policeman, who took him to the
station, where he would have been
locked up all night if the magistrate
hadn't recognized him. When he
got home his wife and children were
sure he had got suffocated in the
flue, and Mrs Lamb was in awful dis
tress because she didn't know wheth-
er she ought to have the side of the
house taken out that night, or to go
out to hunt up mourning bonnet to
wear to church next day. The ener-
getic McGinnis had gone home to
gladden. his family with Mr.. Lambs
bundle of toys, and the servant girl
had given notice that she would leave
at daylight. So this year Mr. Lamb
has told his little ones that the fiction
about Santa Claus is a wicked super
stition, and he is going to hang their
presents on tree.-Mar Adeler

Attempted suicide at salinas.

SALINAS, April 2sth.-This morning
at an early hour VIM. Thompson was
found in q state of insensibility in a
room at Conner's lodging house, in
this city, produced by suffocation from
escaping gas. 1t was at first thought
to be the result of carelessness, but
after events prove it to have been de-
liberate attempt at suicide. When so
far recovered as to sit up in bed, he
refused to hold conversation with any
one; and upon being left alone for a
moment, be shot himself in the right
breast, the ball ranging upward and
lodging near the spine. He is now
suffering great pain. The surgeon in
attendance thinks the wound will
prove fatal, it being likely to produce
Inflammation of the lungs. No cause
is assigned for the rash act, further
than that he had been drinking hard
lately. His relatives, living at Wood
land, CAL, have been informed of the
occurrence.

LONDON, April 30th.-A terrible ex-
plosion occurred yesterday afternoon
in the Bunker Hill colliery, North
Staffordshire. At midnight, twelve
bodies had been taken out and twen-
ty-three men are yet in the mine, and
no hope that any of them can be re-
covered alive.
LONDON, May lst.-In the House of
Commons last evening, Sullivan re-
newed his inquiry as to whether the
members of the American Team COM
Ing to Ireland to take part in
the International Rifle contest would
be exempt from the obligations of the
law forbidding the carrying of arms.
Sir Michael Beech, the Chief Secretary
for Ireland, said that arrangements
had been made to prevent interference
with the American Riflemen. They
would have no reason to complain
of the operations of this or any other
law.

The Young Mems Central Republic
can Club held a meeting last night.
There was a large attendance and a
stormy discussion, arising over the
question of admission of members. A
list of officers was proposed by the
Committee on Nominations, and an
attempt made to get up an opposi-
ton ticket, which was choked off by a
motion to adjourn.
In the Fourth District Court yester-
day, the suit Of the people VS.. John ].
Marks, to recover on his bond for his
acts as Harbor Commissioner, came

and submitted.

facts concerning the influences govern
ing various appointments to positions

teachers and an inquiring into the
workings of the department by the
next grand jury. 1t also expresses
surprise at the want of knowledge
concerning the existence Of gambling
houses oil the part Of the Police De-
partment, and on examination find
evidence sufficiently grave to demand
full inquiry on the part Of the next
grand jury, and recommend that the
same be submitted for their cOnsidera-
ton. The various CRY and county
institutions were examined, and their
condition commended, except that of
the county Jail and branch Jail, which
were found in condition demanding
speedy reform.
