NIGHT.

The pale and silent night
ias cast her mantle Ger the burning Wes:
And stilled thetumult of the world of light
Deep INTO rest.
On dark and leaicn plumes,
The twilight drops athwart the closing sky,
And in the gathering Wilderness Of gloom
Her shadows lie.
And from the misty sands
The zerhyrs floating idly forth are driven
On the veil, where, dim and distant,
The hills of heavca
And. breaking from rcpose,
Inc stars down quiverns though the dusk,
screen
lllume the beacons Of the airy close
With light serene.
The golden lustrc DIM
The crescent moon is lowering on high.
Her pale light drifting slowly o'cr the rim
or blue sky.
Beneath the bounding arch
| watch the glowing cycles as they rum
AL passing IN grand triumphsl march,
To meet the sun.
And so I wait aonc
Until the glory Of the night has ceased,
And the red eagle mounts his blazing throne
In the far East.

A FATHERS LOvE.-Hartford Conn,
April ia case Of peculiar interest has
just become known in this city, and its
strange features illustrate what the morbid
Dromptings Of the mind will cause q man
to CO., 800 ti6S, beioie Ghrisimas Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar Brewer, of Fast Hartford,
lost beloved daughter who was then about
16 years of age. S, terrible was the faith
er's griefthat he could not bear the thought
of hiding away tho rcmains Of his lovely
child in the cold earth, and therefore he
procured the services of n Hartford under
taker, who prepared the body so that il
would keep, and it was then placed in
state in the parlor of Mr. Brewers residence.
Every few days the undertaken calls at the
house, inspects the remains and sees that
all is right for their preservation before he
takes his leave.
Perhaps the stranscst part of this pccu.
liar case yet remains to be told for every
night, after the hour of midnight has tolled
Mr.. Brewer rises from his bed, dresses
himself and proceeds to the parlor below,
where for the remainder of the night he
holds vigil with the embalmed body. He
addresses tho inunimate form with all the
endeuring expressions that can come from
loving heart and with the tenderness and
pathos Of one who is addressing the beloved
living. AS the rays Of early dawn beg to
creep into the room through the closed
shutters, the grief stricken father leaves the
room to seek his bed and repose.
These nightly vigils have been kept up
increasingly since the death ofthe daughter.
Every attempt made by neighbors and
friends to induce MIR. Brewer to bury his
daughter have proved unavalling. aud his
wife, who has suffered greatly by his strange,
couduct, has used every persuasion possible
- i--~ u <,:.--.
but he declared that he will never bury
his darling daughter, and that he will for.
ever keep her by him, where he can see her
nightly.
But, finally, persuasion prevailed and he
has consented to inter the body, but will
build in his yard vault which will COM
muncate with the house, SO that each night
he Can watch by aud talk to his daughter
1t seems that when on her dying bed
the girl expressed dreai Of being placed
in the earth aud her father told her that
she should not be so turied. When the
vault is built tho remaius will be placed
there and thus the girls dying wish kept
sacred.
The conduct of Mr Brewer is wonder
fully strange. The girl has been dead
some six months but still his grief remains
unassuaged, and his promise to his dying
girl unbroken. People in Eas: Hartford
fear that Mr. Brewers mind has weakened
under the terrible strain, and now that hi.
own and his daughters wish can be carried
out without any bad effects to the commu-
nifty all seem pleased, aud it is expected tha
MIR Brewer will regain his normal state o
mind.

MALINDY HUNTER.

n PLUcKY AMERICAN GIRL.--I recent.
~ heard OF an action on the part of young
American girl toward French woman in.
sulter which has filled nv soul with admi
ration and delight. The young lady in
question, who is a refined, modest and hiuh,
bred young girl, is staying with some mem
bers of her flmiy at one of the prominent
hotels on the Avenue dc Opera. AS her
dress and manucrs arc alike uuobtrusivc,
she has never hcsitatcd to 90 out alone
whenever business or inclination imreled
her to DO so. One would fancy that on that
wide, brilliant avenue, in broad daylight,

forty.fivc years DID, wearing the red ribbon
This parsonage would not only follow her,
but would address her, in language of the
fulsomc, complimentary style, would thrust
his face under her bonnet, would go few
steps in front of her, and would then
look back, and lcer at her, and, in fact
he conducted himself in the manner
that well breI Parisian gentleman usually
considers proper to assume when he meets
an unprotected young girl. This vent on
for some time to the infinite annoyance of
the young lady Her tormcntor never made
his appearance when her brother was with
her, or when there was policeman within
haillng distance-on these occasions he
kept discreetly out Of the way.
Finally, the other day, the affair came to
a climax. The young lady WAS returning
to her hotel about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
when her prosecutor made his appearance
and began tormenting her as usual The
hunted girl, worried, wearied and exaspera.

pitch of indignation and nervous excitement.

bewildering him that he was some time in
discovering his lost hcadscar, every moment
of which she employed to the best advan-

fed from The scene as fast as his legs could
carry him, followed by the laughter and
jecrs of the whole line Of cabmen, who
heartily sympathized with the brave young
heroine of the scene. And so one of the
