DRIFTED APART.


Lost, and know not where thou art
know we change in mind and heart,
And dearest friends will drift apart,
Upon Times treacherous tide;
And yet ! dreamed that thou aud
On waters calm, meath clondess sky,
Might onward iloat-forever nigh
Across Life's ocean wide.
And still mourn the luckless day
marked thee slowly glide away
Ny heart in pitcous tones cried, Stay,
And leave me not alone
No answering word or look from thee
Came through the distance back to me;
Only the waves OF Lilies deep sea
Made melancholy moan.
No parting word, no farewell kiss
Only vanished dream Of bliss,
void that aches for what we miss
From out the life and heart
To weary Of the world s duh ways,
To scorn alike its blame and praise,
And weep for joys Of bygone days
Alb me, to drift apnrl
! loved thee who love so few
trusted thee and loved thee too,
They always trust whose hearts are true,
Nor fear the change of years
Some hearts are made TO love in vain,
Some brows to ever ache with pain,
Some lips TO sing II sad refrain,
Some eyes are made for tears.
| anit the busy haunts Of men,
Aud seek sweet solitude again,
With friendly book and faithful pen
These are not lost TO me-
But, Love, know not where thou art
We change in mind and change in heart
And this is why we drift apart,
Upon Times slorm-tossed sea.

From Ms Mere sns7e Gazette.

The writer OF woFk-Mr. ?. Aadrp -oa

Of she Danish West Iudia Tslande, which has
been translated from thu a1ish original bv
Mr.J. J9uson, takes 6 very gloomy viea of the
prospects of 81. Thomas aud the neighbouviug
islands, which we are far from shsrine. We

10 say 9 few words with regsrd to che future
prospects OF che com n9Roe of this IsIsud and
the advantages TO acoru, from the sugar can.

There is no doubt bat that 81. Thomas has
been suffering for some TINA from & decline in
its sommercs-stilI it 10 TO be hoped thaG
this Island has not seen its best days for abe
last time, aud that when the general depression
of Business ell over the world has exhausted
itself, 81. Thomas will again resums abe aou-
ris1jng position which il has enioysd for 40
msny years. Since Mr.. Aodra's book has bsen
published St.Thomas has been exempted from che
contribution OF $4,000 dolls. per aanum, which
was formerly paid to the Home Government, aud
which Mr.. Andre 50 justly shows the nscss.

wlSh the use of this sum in she yearly sxpsn-

trates the whole force in this town, and
appropriateS the buildings hitherto used
by the Military at the two other sta
tiona, for civil purposes, thus saving some
$4,000.
The health Of the island has been good
during the past year, although there were
not so few cases of small pox and some few
OF Meningitis, but il appears that the hurri-
cane made a clean sweep Of those unwsI-
come guests, as not 9 single case has bssn no.
ticed since. Against the small pox we have
q further safeguard 10 the vaccination
Ordinance recently passed, which puts the
control Of vaccination, now made compulso-
ry from the age OF one year, under she Police.
But although there has been no sickliness,
there has been not SO few deaths, mostly
from old age. The following is a list of
those who occupied more prominent posi-.
tlons: In March, J. A. Hill in May,
VIM. Plaskett; Ia Juna, Lawyer Heiberg /;
in July, Dr.. Aagaard !; in August, H. Mac
William; ia October, J. G.. Stridiron, aud
Colonel GjelIerup !; Ia November, Mrs. a.
Wlilem)es, Consul Dubois, Mrs. E. Lang,
Mira A. III. Lund, and Colonel Boeck.
If in the foregoing brief sketch We have
6uCCSeuGG 1I-dHi-uOG III uOlug lulI 1u9CS3
TO a subject like this but ia tracing tho
chief %teaturs Of '76 in an ineligible man-
ner, the reader will agree that we are
guilty Of no great exaggeration 10 calling il
a year Of uneasinoss and anxiety for this
community. But our prospects are
brighter now. Besides what encouragement
Is afforded by the foregoing items, among
which the Inauguration Of the Factory
scheme ranks foremost, thero is also the
following considerations: Heavy rains
have been known often before this during
the first months of the year. The ave-
rage rainfall for the first three months
OF the ten years from 1864 to 1873 was
81 lines. IN 1863 is reached 70 lines)
We believe men Of experience in these
matters will bear US out 10 the assertion
that even the average for the same period
this year would give US an average crop,
which, with prices now ruling, or even
aOme per cent. less, would count for
something 10 the financial scale. But the
readers Of the Avis will probably prefer
dealing with facts rather than with apecu-
latiOns on future probabilities or improba-
bilities, and we shall venture no farther,
but wind up shis sketch by wishing them
A Truly HAPPY New YEAR.
