these ruins boar and gray :"

hoof
Ye holy walls that still sublime
! Resist the the crtnnbling touch of time
How strongly still your view displays
The Piety Of ancient days
Az through your ruins, hoar and gray
Ruins yet beauteous in decay
The silyery moon-beams trembling play
The forms of ages long gone by
Crowd thick Oh Fancy's wondering eye,
And wake the soul to musings high.
Fen now, as lest in thoughts profound,
i view the solemn scene around,
And pensive gaze with wistful eyes
The past returns. the present flies.
Again the dome in pristine pride,
Lifts high its roof and arches wide,
That, knit with curious tracery,
Each Gothic ornament display.
The high arched windows, painted fair,
Show many saint and martyr there.
As on their slender forms gaze,
o Methinks they brighten to blaze!
With noiseless step, and taper bright,
What are yon forms that meet my sight ?
Slowly they move, while every eye
is heavenward raised in ecstacy.
IT'S the soft, spotless, vestal train.
That seek in prayer, the midnight fame.
And bark what more than mortal sound
OF music breathes the pile around P
IT'S the soft-chaunted choral song
Whose tones the echoing aisles prolong;
Till thence return'd, they softly stray
Der Clou1en's wave with fond delay
Now on the rising gale swell high,
And now in fainting murmurs die.
The boatmen on Nith's gentle stream,
That glistens in the pale moon-beam,
Suspend their dashing oars to hear
The holy anthem loud and clear
Each worldly thought while forbear,
And mutter forth half heard prayer. !
But. as gaze, the vision fails.
Like frost-work touched by southern gales
The altar sinks-the tapers fade,
And all the splendid scenes decay'd
In window fair the painted pane
No longer glows with holy stain,
But through the broken space, the gale
Blows chilly from the misty vale.
The bird of eve fits sullen by
Her home, these aisles and arches high
The choral hymn, that erst so clear,
Broke softly sweet on Fancy's ear,
Is drown'd amid her mournful scream,
That breaks the magic of my dream;
Rous'd by the sound-I start and see
The ruined sad reality

A Triumphal Progress.

MT. Joseph Coburn. who is reported to have behaved well in prison-far better than he behaved out of it-has been par doned nine months before the legal end of his term. His journey to this city would have been something in the nature of triumphal progress if he had not meekly put aside the profered honor He told newspaper reporter that he had been obliged to change his train four times, on trip of less than forty miles, in order to avoid the crowds on the line of the road who Lad assembled to offer him tumultuous homage. The modest self-abnegation of MT. Coburn, however, will scarcely enable him to escape all the tributes which are prepared for him.
 A benefit is proposed at Madison Square Garden-the only place large enough to hold the multitudes who are eager to see him. Mr. John l.. Sullivan, the Boston champion, has offered to assist upon that occasion. It appears that this eminent pugilist visited MT. Coburn at Sing Sing-a very delicate and graceful act toward an older member of the profession. "He is," said MT. Coburn. "a.very fine young gentleman, and he seemed to feel very kindly toward me-" Perhaps MT. Sullivan's amiability | will go so far as to allow MT. Coburn to make the experiment. of standing up before him to be "knocked out " in three minutes. MT. Coburn speaks less ex- plicitly than some other celebrated pro- fessional persons of his future move ments.
 He hints at the possible quiet retire. ment of ''saloon,' and as he affirms that he does not drink or intend to drink anything stronger than "plain soda," he will have an excellent opportunity to ex- emplify temperance principles. But while he doubtless feels proud of the way in which he is received, he ought to live in another State and have different "rec- ord" in order to enjoy the full measure ot popular sympathy and admiration. Mr. Coburn is only bruiser who has beaten 8 number of persons of either sex, 'ac, cording to the Marquis of Queensbury's rules" and irrespective of them, and was sent to prison for trying to kill 8 police man. He should go to Missouri and be. come robber and murderer. .-Ne,t | York E'Uening Post.

the next day. It tasted so good they could not help eating the whole loaf. On the next day they arrived at Belun where writing materials were given them, and Noros wrote at Ninderman's dicta- tation telegram to our Minister at St. Petersburg. Every time they asked for help to rescue their comrades the con- mandant would talk about telegraphing. This official took Ninderman's telegram and said he would give it to "the Captain
 They were taken to the house of a priest and given Q good dinner the priest said, however, that he was to be marr jed in day or two and they couldn stay there. They were then taken to e very dirty hut, where they suffered from cold, as the natives had taken away the deerskin clothing they had loaned them. Both were very weak. Many people came to see them. On the evening of Nov. 3, 8 man came into the hut dressed in fur clothes. Ninderman paid no at tention to him, but he heard him say ''Hello, Noros, are you alive yet?"
 He then recognized Melville, who said all his party were we'll except Leach. The young priest came to the house, and Ninderman told Melville that he ap- peared to be the only man of authority in the village. Melville could speak a little Russian, and told the priest that they must have something better than old fish to eat.
 Question by Judge Advocate-What was the physical condition of yourself and Noros when found by Melville? ] A.-Both were in very bad condition, { and were unfit to travel. I was worse than Noros.
 Q.-When first found by the natives, were you able to return in search of the party if they had been willing to go?
 Al think we were not; but if the natives had given us food and clothing and had been willing to go back in search of the rest, we would not have delayed | one hour at the huts,

The Editor.

Some years ago. a young man wrote to an American paper that he wanted to be an editor; and the reply which he re- ceived is well worth reproducing here.
 "Canst thou" asked the editor, "draw up leviathan with an hook thou lettest down? Canst thou hook up great ideas from the depths of thine intellect, and clean, scale and fry them at five minutes notice? Canst thou write editorials to measure? Canst thou write an editorial to fit in three-quarter column of the paper, which shall be in length just 22 inches, having three inches of fine senti- ment, four inches for the beginning, and nine inches of humor in the middle, and an outburst of maxim and precept, six inches long, at the close?"

How to Make a Chicken Pie.

Dress fowl, and cook it until tender Then cut it in joints, season it with salt and pepper, and fry it brown with a quarter of a pound of salt pork cut in thin slices; after the chicken and pork are fried, take them up, and stir into the pan in which they were cooked @ table spoonful of flour; stir it over the fire until it is brown, then add 10 it pint of boiling water, @ level teaspoonful of salt, and quarter of a saltspoonful of pepper; stir this sauce until it has boiled for two minutes, and use it for the pie.
 To make the crust for the chicken pie, mix together in bowl, with a knife, a pound of flour, teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfrls of butter, and just enough cold water to hold the flour together; put the paste, made in this way, upon 0 houred pastry-board and roll 1t out about an inch thick then cut half Q pound of good, hard butter in large pieces, and lay them all over the paste; fold it to- gether in such Q way that the butter is inclosed in the paste; wrap the paste in foured towel and put it in a cool place for half an hour. At the end of half an hour roll out the paste, cut quarter of a pound of hard butter in large slices lay them on the paste; fold it so as to inclose them, and after wrapping it in 8 floured towel, keep it again in cool place for half an hour Then roll it out to the thickness of half an inch; fold 1t in three thicknesses and roll it out again.
 If the butter breaks through the paste, again wrap it in foured towel and cool 1t for half an hour before rolling it out and using it to line the baking-dish. If the butter does not break through, roll and fold the paste again, and then use 1t l to line deep earthen dish. After the dish is lined with pastry put the fried chicken and pork in in layers. Pour over them sufficient gravy to moisten them. Cover them with top crust, | wetting the edges of the crust to make them adhere Gut the top crust to per- init the steam to escape from the pie while it is being baked. Brush it over with beaten egg, and bake it brown in moderate oven. If any gravy is made in excess of what is used in the pie, heat | t, and send it to table with the pie. | MANNERS. Prof. Chandler, being dis turbed while featuring to some ill-bred medical students, paused until all eyes were directed toward the offenders, and said: ''I suspect that it is in my power to teach those young gentlemen some- thing that will be of more use to them in after life than chemistry I mean man. ners."
