THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.

Lonely, you say, with mighty arch
OF sky so grandly bending?
BY bright hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sending?
Joyless? When ont of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours iIs glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story:
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet
From fields of herbs and flowers
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours!
Like faintest sounds OF distant seas
Pounding some castle hoary-
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
Turning a bend of river.
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring quiyer.
So. thankful. where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

$500 in an old coat, nailed to the manger
in the stable; e600 in notes were hidden
away in an old teapot; the chimney
yielded $4,000. slowed in nineteen sep
arate crevices. Several jugs filled with
coin were secreted in the stable loft
