Lord Lorne stood OH the quarter deck
Whence all but he had fled go
"Where is my own. my proud Lonlse"
He with emotion said.
But as the good ship hove and So,
There came no cheering word
The FLASHING of the paddlewhecls
Was all the sound he heard.
Louise !'Loti>e ~ he loudly shrirkc,l-
Must fair of all on earth =.
He knew not that the Princess lay
All srasick in her berth.
He rushed into he pilot house
And climbed the mizzenmaet
And from the hoom>ail on the shrou ds
]Ie braved the bliyhtiny blast.
Upon the maintopyallant .jib
As wild the good ship lurcled-
Upon the cross trees and the yards
He for the Princess searched.
All up and down the martiugalc
And on the spanker boom,
He searched, but searched in vain, his soul
Was raped in awful gloom.
And then at last he heard voice,
And this was what it said:
Come down, dear Lorue' Pm awful sick
Come down and hold my head!'

Cold! Yes stree, at night. Pleasant
clear days. December has set in wintry,
sure enough. "Roundy' hugs the fire,
in doors, and out Of doors wraps himself
i'll his-not fars-hut garments all tat
tered and torn, and seeks Il lunch house
to appeasc his everlasting appetite.
Bishop Lerey arrived here last Tues
day to the great JOY Of his people. He
was cordially welcomed and about II
o'clock "A. H., the church bells rang out a
merry peal of greeting This reminds
"Roundy' that citizen pulled out his
watch when he heard the bells. and
thinking it was noon tide set up his time
piece a full hour, making it mark II NJ.
Sunday night there was a cry of fire

at tho residence Of Mrs. Boudridge, just
west of the Court House. No damage
done as it was raining cavity at the
time.
The vendor, If cakes, pies and cotfoc
are snperlatively happy just now, and
their stands ornament the Hall Of tho
Court House, inviting the hungry to
come up, and for consideration, ap-
pease the cravings of tho inner-man.
Tho genial "phiz" of Peter Veuleman
greeted "Roundy" last Tuesday, after a
lengthy absence In the could country
Peter was welcomed by host of friends
and has opened a cheap grocery and pro-
vision store at his old stand.
Court is progressing with vim, but
the indications are that the session will

criminal dockets are light. The Court
room is generally we'll filled with citizens
Of both classes.
How about the street lamps: Don't
let the good work flag, because the moon
shines bright, these cold, wlntry nights.
1t twill be dark by and by, and then
the roamer will cry-"More light dark

"Roundy' esconced himself in corner
of tho Court room, tho second day of the
term, when he was "squatted" on by a
gigantic citizen, and his corns tread on
by flatfooted Ethiopian and he hallooed
couch " The Judge said stern1y, "Mr
Sheriff, bring that offender here if you
can find him." "Rouudy" skeedaddled
through the railing, hurried out of the
Court room, caught his foot in hole of
the ragged mating, at the head of the
steps, rolled down two flights, and then,
considerably ''shook up" betook himself
to more genial quarters. Oh, Lordy (!
what trial this item hunting is, to be
sure !
