OVER The TAY.

Adown the starless, gloomy shore,
The wild winds thunder raves;
By slum0'ring castle, cot and moor,
Resound the Kissing waves.
And by the sheltered Dundee docks
The river rushing swirls;
The pler-g guards tremble meath the shocks !;
The water winds and curls.
And Ger the scalloped arches stretch
The lights in CHASTITY glow;
Their gray beams glimmer thro' the reach
OF whirling night, below.
Out from the north the swift train speeds,
Her headlight cleaning bright;
She follows where. the driver leads,
And cleaves the stormy night.
Fearless, she filings the murky shore
Behind her flying wheels;
The savage winds eXulting roar;
The stanch bridge sways and reels.
Shot thro' the yawning chasm, dire
Sh plunges, and no sign
But watchers see stream OF fire
Across the waters shine.
But when the roseate hands of morn
Fling streamers Of the day,
The mighty arches, jagged and torn,
Frown GU the sullen Tay.
And there the sunlight sits its gold
On tips of crested waves,
That smile and ripple as they hold
Their secret tale OF graves.
And years will come, ard years will go,
And hearts will waiting oe
For faces that the ebb and flow
Swept outward to the sea.

AN ARTFUL DoDGER.

l once knew an old fellow, Billy W..
who confined himself to particular species
of trickery for many years, until indeed,
he retired from active life to take the
command of lodging house of his own.
He was little, tight limbed fellow, with
face perfectly innocent of whisker. Look
ing at him in his ordinary attire, when the
days work was over, there was no telling
his age, which ght have been anywhere
between thirty and sixty for aught that
could be seen. Billy would go out about
10 in the morning, dressed in a suit of
shabby black, looking the picture of genteel
poverty. Getting into busy quarter he
would involve himself in a crowd of rush.
ing vehicles, and tumble under the wheels
and the horses feet as if knocked down.
He was little and 1.-THE, and so adroit in
this particular performance that he could
and did thousand times over-go within
a hairs breadth of destruction without
sustaining any more damage than he
wanted, as a bleeding nose, crushed
hat and a few rents in his garments.
These last, it may be remarked, were pre-
pared beforehand, so that certain num-
Der of seams were always sure to be open

would be hauled out of his predicament
quite exhausted and helpless pitIable
looking object in fact-and be carried to
the nearest tavern. Here he would re-
celve a restorative, and revive when the
crowd was thickest to tell some affecting
story of family distress, the thought OF
which urging him along the streets, obllv-
ious of their perils. had brought about his
accident. Sympathy being thus excited, a
collection would be made. and Billy would
limp off, when not sent home in cab,
very much the better of his disaster. Three
hours later he would repeat the same per-
Torrance somewhere else, this time in the
guise of an elderly woman; and once
again. as night grew dark, in the character
of newsvender, or something of that sort.
His "make ups indeed were infinite, and
included all sorts OF limitations, from that
OF the seedy preacher down to the shoe
black and flower girl.-[The Standard.

An Editorial Response to Bayard.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-Ihe Press will
say tomorrow of Mr.. Bayard's statement:
"Mr. Bayard says staff correspondent of
the 'Press' received letter from him. in
which he stated the falsity and malice of the
report of his speech. This is true. The
letter was private and contained
other matters. When the statement was
communicated to the editor of the Press the
staff correspondent was authorized to say to
MIR. Bayard that the Press would gladly
print whatever he might say on the subject.
70 that suggestion no response was made.
Since Mr.. Bayard now speaks of the report
of his speech as an Anonymous communi-
cation, so irresponsibly made" it is due to
truth to say that il
came from thoroughly responsible source
and that it was verbatim report. Pains
have been taken to verify it and its authori-
ty is confirmed not merely by the reporter
who made it but many oitizcns of Dover.
who heard the speaker, and whose attention
was particularly attracted at the time by the
extraordinary character of this accusation.
The case will not be complete until
this testimony is completed.
