GooG-by! That word how oft we have
repeated
In idleness ? without a passing
thought
AS to its ancient sense-that deeper
hidden meaning
With tenderness, and longing bless
ing fraught.
Good-by! May God be ever with thee,
bless thee.
Guide thee. console thee, bring thee
safe again
oh! such the prayer. that as some I'M
sealed fountain
Rises spontaneous from a heart of
pain.
Good-by! Though far In distant lands
thy duty calls thee.
Though far from friends, from home
and loving care
Oh, may His arm preserve thee in all
danger.
His mercy shield. his love protect
thee there.
GOOd-by! With aching heart. and n
that shake and falter.
And tears that rise, and will not he
controlled
And yet with joy, an almost painful
sweetness,
Full often times that little word Is
told.
Good-by! And we are left in sudden
d~esolatiOn!
One pressure Of the hand-one look
aud he is gone.
A deathly darkness wraps our souls
in darkness
The light of day is tled-we are
alone!

This story was written while Mr..
Greeley was a young man, ana was
published in an obscure periodical III

Adolph Bruner had been a dreamer
from his infancy. Born to penury II
rugged fortune, his life had been rem
dered endurable not less by its wax
ing dreams than it's stern eXertlons.
Step by step had he won his way
aided by that good Providence which
mel irreverently miscall fortune-from
the ignorance and restitution of his
infancy to the higher sources of KNOW
ledge and instructior-to the most
learned university of Germany. Here
his career had been a brief but a bril-
liant one. Single-hearted, enthusiast
tic and devoted-with no prospect in
life but such as flowed from or inter
ested themselves with his achieve
ments as a s~cholar-his progress had
been most rapid, and his department
such as to win for him the n~ndisguis-
ed appreciation of his fellows.
Yet now the thoughts of Adolph,
more impetuous and engrossing in
their wide career had found a channel
far different from that which they had
hitherto traversed. An incident had
occurred the evening previous which
threatened to influence the whole
character of his after life.
Returning on that evening from his
| usual walk, in which he was accus.
toned to ramble wherever accident OIL
fancy should suggest, he had been al
first an involuntary spectator of, and
ultimately a participation in, a scene
not likely to be soon effaced from his
memory. A young female-alone and
obviously a stranger in the city-was
