James Bisserstaff-s Dismissal.

eve must part-foreverp
 There were italics in the first three words, but the last was made more impress i've with vocal small capitals.
 There is reason to believe that Miss Irene Magillicuddy placed the emphasis in this way Intentionally when she added the words which begin this recital of fact to her Encouragement of James Biggerstaff's 's suggestion that the two form an engage ment of marriage.
 MT. Biggerstaff had been calling upon Miss Magillicuddy for eight months, and in that time he had learned to love her. He had, moreover, set about the work of teaching her to love him, and he had also come to persuade himself that these les Jons in the art affectionate had been be- slowed upon willing pupil
 James Biggerstaff had often looked down the vista of the years, and in his mind he had seen the fair Irene first as his bride, then as his wife and later as the mother of his children, who formed a lovable group about his knee.
 Now all his bright anticipations were dimmed. His hopes were shattered. Alp parently these pleasing mental pictures were to be only in his mind-strictly in it, and nowhere else.
 It is no wonder that James Biggerstaf WAS sad aIUer ne nedru HIS Seu1ehSo VI oio missal from the lips of the girl he loved. he had no words to reply, and he did not feel inclined to reply even if words suitable to the occasion had presented themselves. | He was pained. He had not expected such treatment. He had not deemed that Irene could be so cruel. She had not only re- fused his offer of marriage, but she had dismissed him. She had not even offered him the cold comfort of being sister to him.
 James Biggerstaff stood moment as if dazed. Then he moved toward the door, mechanically, or as one in dream, carry ing with him his broken heart. He turned the knob, and was about to depart without a word, when Irene, who ] had followed him into the hall, said softly; James, dear, you'll be on hand as early as usual on Sunday night, l supposef'- | Truth.

 That idly wanders through my brain; That scars and falls at intervals, ; Amid the dashing of the rain. Long years gone by, my love and
 Sat listening to the same weird tune; The while the clouds in gathering crowds,
 Swept hurriedly across the moon. So soft, so low, the rivers flow,
 The night wind breathed single sigh. One hour of bliss--a parting kiss 9 Then silence, darkness, and good bye. The while the tune of that old rune
 Chimes sadly with the falling rain Mid binding tears, the banished years
 With all their joys, come back again. O, who can yet the time forget
 When hearts were young and life was gay And who so glad, he finds not sad,

4 POEM BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

We have been requested to re-publish the following poem written by the late Rose Terry Cooke. The poem was published in our issue of June 3, 1885 and the week after our then correspond ent, D. B. Hale of Collinsville, who died on the 25th of February 1887 at the age of seventy y-fve, sent us this communication: "On the first page of the NEWS of last week is beautiful ode which will be better understood by few words of explanation. Miss Rose Terry, the poetess, now Mrs Rose Terry Cooke, many years since while visiting in Collinsville at the house of her sis- ter, Mrs H. S. Collins, composed the ode entitled The Two Villages. !" From her window directly in front was Collinsville, Over the river, under the hill, and just above on the hillside lies the beautiful cemetery, Over the river, on the hill.' With this brief explana- tion the reader will at once comprehend the meaning of the poem."
 The Two Villages.
 Over the river, on the hill
 Lieth a village white and still;
 All around 1t the forest trees
 Shiver and whisper In the breeze; ..
 Over 1t sailing shadows go
 Of soaring hawk and screaming crow,
 And mountain grasses low and sweet
 Grow in the middle of every street. S
 Over the river under the hill,
 Another village lieth still;
 Then I see in the cloudy night
 Twinkling stars of houshold light,
 Fires that gleam from the smithy's door,
 Mists that curl on the river shore; Il
 And in the roads no grasses grow
 For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
 In that village on the hill
 Never is sound of smithy or mill
 The houses are matched with grass and flowers,
 Never a clock to toll the hours; The marble doors are always shut, You cannot enter in hall or hut; All the villagers lie asleep; Never a grain to SOW or reap; Never in dreams to moan and sigh; Silent and idle and low they lie. In that village under the hill When the night is starry and still, Many weary soul in prayer Looks to the other village there, And weeping and signing, longs to go Up to that home from this below; Longs to sleep in the forest wild, Whither have vanished wife and child, And hsareth praying this answer fall, Patience That village shall hold ye all.
