SPORTS OF THE HIGHLAND Crry-A
few evenings ago one or two of our citi.
zens unexpectedly found themselves ex.
citeoly engaged in rabbit hunt, and
that too within the corporate limits OF
the city. Meeting with some success,
they retired from the chase, having
found two rabbits. This we thought
rather singular, but the result of an
lmpromptu fox hunt within the city
limits was far more startling. One of
Our distinguished citizens, who several
years age celebrated his sixtioth BIRTH
day, got mp before breakfast and dis
covered what he took to be genuine
fox, and following it for short distance
shipped upon and absolutely caught it,
and found it to be veritable fox. If
any of onr sister parishes can boast of
u resident who has SO retained tie viror
of his youth as to be able to catch a fox
alone and unassisted by dogs, we would
like to have them show up and take
the horns.

A Word About Words.

Do we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the lest may strike or the hint
may fall?

That spicy story, "you must have heard
We jerk away in our gossip rash,
And somebody's glass, OF course, goes

What flames have been blasted and
broken,
What pestilent sinks have been stir
red
By word in lightness spoken,
BY only an idle word.
A sueer-a shrug-a whisper low,
They are poisoned shafts from an am
bushed bow.
Shot by the coward, the fool, the kRaye;
They pierce the mail of the great or brave.
Vain is buckler of wisdom and pride
To turn the pitiless point aside;
The lips may curl with a careless smile,
But the heart dIIps blOod-drips blood
the while.
Ah me! what hearts have been broken,
What rivers of blood been stirred
By word in malice spoken,
BY only bitter word.
A kindly word and tender tone
To only God is their virtue knownl
They can lift from the dust the aoject
head,
They can turn foe to friend instead;
The heart cluse-barred with passion and
pride
Will fling at their knock its portals wide,
And the hate that blights and the scorn
that sears
Will melt in the fountain of childlike
tears.
What ice-bound griefs have been bro

What rivers of love been stirred

THE INDEPENDENT T seeks the patron
Il age of the public on three grounds, as
follows:
1st II is the largest weely religious news

2nd. 1t employs as contributors more able
writers, at home and abroad, than any other
weekly newspaper
3rd. 1t gives its readers a wider range of
topics and more and fuller departments than
they can find elsewhere in any journal.
The independent consists of 80 pages, neat
ly cut and pasted. 1t is printed from clear
type 1--WE stereotype the pages weekly, and
hence, every issue is really printed with new
typel and on good paper. and mechanically
it is unexcelled.
There is no question Of prominence in re-
ligion, politics, sCieHcc, euucatlou, finance or
any other department of human knowledge
which the Independent does not discuss. 1t
has regular departments devoted to Biblical
Research, Missions, Religious Intelligence,
Book Reviews and Literary News, the Sun
day School, Education, Science, Sanitary
question, Fine Arts, the movements of Min
isters, Personalities, News of the Week,
Financial and Commercial matters, including
Weekly Prices Current, Market Reports,
Cattle Market, Dry Goods Quotations, Flow
ers and Farming, and Insurance. In its re-
ligious department it gives news and statistics
of all denominations of Christians, every>
where. In fullness, accuracy, and conpre-
hensiveness this department is unequaled.
Several pages of stories and poems adapted
to Old and Young are given every week, with
a column Of Puzzles.
From time to time Sermons by eminent
ministers are published. The current topics
of the day are discussed in our editorial
columns freely and vigorously. We are not
afraid to state our opinods.

POETRY.
. The River of Time.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.


GA wonderful stream is the river OF Time
Asit runs thro' the realms OF tears, ;,
With a faultless rhythm and muslcal
rhyme,
And broad ming sweep, and surge sub
That blends with tine ocean of years.
How the Winters are drifting like fakes
of snow,
And the Summers like buds between,
And the year is the sheaf, so they come
and they 60
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and
flow,
AS il glldes through the shallow and
sheen.
There's musical isle on the river of
Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing
There's a cloudless sky and tropical
cline,
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
When the Junes with the roses are
staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long
Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty, and bosoms
of snow,
There are heaps of dust, but we love
them SO,
= There are trinkets and tresses of hair
There are fragments of songs that nobo-
dy sings,
And a part of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and harp with
out strings,
There are broken VOWS, and pieces OF
rings,
And the garment that she used to wear
There are hands that are waved when
the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear thro' the turbu-
lent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind and the river is fair.
Oh! remembered for aye be that blessed
isle.
All the days of our life till night
When the evening comes with Its beau
tiful smile,
And our eyes are closed to slumoer
awhile,
MAY our greenwood of soul be in sight.

A PIECE OF ELECTION Stupid
TY IN INDIANA.
Probable Election of a Hancock
ElectOr-- How the Error
Occurred.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-By reason
of the stupidity of some of the election
officers the votes cast for Benjamin G.
Parker, as Elector on the Republican
ticket, in several counties in the State
were returned for Thomas w. Bennett,
who was not candidate. The tickets
for the whole State were printed by the
State Central Committee and were cor
rect, but the poll books and tally sheets,
which were, under the law, provided by
the local authorities, contained, by mis-
take, the maine of Bennett, who had de-
clined, for whom Parker had been sub
stituted. The attention of election Off
GERS and local committees in every pre-
cinct in the State was called to the
change and every precautiOn urged to
see that the proper corrections were
in the tally sheets and poll books, and it
is only by the grossest carelessness of
the election officers that the votes that
were cast for Benjamin s. Parker should
be returned for Thomas w. Bennett.
The error affects several thousand votes
and under certain circumstances may
lead to certificate being given to one
of the Hancock electors, who has re-
ceived larger vote on the face of the
returns than that counted for Parker.
Governor Gray, when interviewed on
the subject to-day, said there was no de-
sire to take advantage of technicality,
as one elector from Indiana would be of
no possible advantage to the Democrats,
but he knew of no legal method of cor
recting the returns if it should appear
thatthe mistake was made by the clerks
of election boards in crediting the votes
for Parker to Bennett on the tally
sheets; but if the error was on the part
of the county clerks he thought it might
be corrected, because those officiols were
still in existence, while the election
board having passed out Of existence
could not be recognized to correct any
error that they had made.
As in seven counties the total Repub-
1ican vote is returned for Bennett, it is
probable that the view of the case adopt
ed by the Governor may furnish soIu-
tion to the difficulty. The official vote
shows that Bennett received 1,515 votes
