proprlly dealt with hy the State authorities

minsirtion brcaue" the CHISHOLM a,,as-uS
were not punished although tho President
had no legal right whatever to interfere in
the matter. A great deal II capital was made

When the day with all its splcndor, all its beauty, all
is light,
Fades away, and leaves us standing in the shadow of
the night,
And we turn with wistful longing to the purple
fields that lie
where the sunlight in departing leaves its glory in
the SKY,
Filing up the clouds like bastion8 full of fire along
The west,
And the early star Of evening CLEANS upon their
fading crest,
Then we feel that something brighter fairer still
lies ont of sight,
Where the beauty and the glory will not fade away
in night;
And that somewhere in The distance, in the beaut-
full Beyond
our beloved and departed hold us still by some
sweet bond;
And across the gold and crimson of the evenings
changetul track
We can almost hear the music OF their voices float
ing back.
Tell ne dreamers, say, what is that we feel, but
not know!
With these cravings half of rapture half of Sorrow
haunt su>
What these pictures half immortal ne'cr described
by brush or word,
Bv which all the human spirit OF mortal is stirred;
Tell me, prophet, do they lead IL the looked for
''by and by,
Where 10 mortal eye has parted back the shades of
prophecy
on, ye dreamers oil, yc prophets what your dreams

ing skies,
hat to me the glorious teauty in the cloudland in

While with every heart beat moaning for the price

A Neat SWindle,

Abont a month ago :: stranger entered
the paWnbroker establishment OF Nh G.. ".
Furber of New Bedford, and stated that
be- was unexpectedly called upon to make
:. heavy payment, and being II little short
wished 10 obtain an advance upon some
gold dust; to give emphasis to his re-
marks, he at the same time produced a
box from his coat pocket which on being
opened was seen to contain a small Quau-
tlty OF the precious metal. In order to test
the genuineness of the filthy lucre, and to
obtain an idea Of its value. Mr.. Eurber
suggested that they should visit some lew
aller to which the other readily asscnted
and they proceeded together to the stores
OF Dexter Il Haskins and William l.. Rel
ley, in each of which the contents OF the
box was weighed and thoroughly tested,
the decision in each case being that the
material IN question wa genuine gold,
"A carats fine, some L. ounces in weight,
and worth about $40. Well satisfied with
the result Of his Investigations, Mr. Fur
Der offered to purchase the box and CON
tents, but to this the stranger would not
agree, saying that he was in the gold-beat-
ing business, and did not wish TO dispose
OF his dust, but only to obtain some money
on it with which to meet IN emergency,
hoping soon to be able to redeem it, They
then returned to Mr. Furber's place OF bus
mess, the stranger carrying the box in his
pocket, where, after = little bargaining,
it was decided that $3.50 should be the
sum advanced. The "gold-beater" again
produced the box, which was weighed,
tied up and sealed, in his presence. with
the understanding that he was to call and
redeem it in 4 week Mr. Furber placed
the gold in a safe spot and handed over
the $3.50, after which he and the stranger
separated, each thinking, no doubt that he
had made a very good bargain.
After kicking the box the required time
and no gold.beater appearing the box was
opened, and found to contain about SO
worth Of silver flakes. The feeling of Mr..
Furber can better be imagined than de-
scribed. The stranger has failed to appear
since.
