THE 'CooN's ADVENTURE.

For The Tribune.
The Raccoon peeped from his solemn den
Through a hole in Il hollow tree:
And the forests waved to midnight winds
AS far as coon could sec;
For his home was where the tall trees
grow.
And the hawk and the owl abide;
And the hemlocl; mlirmurS the widest
song,
Far up on the mountain side.
For he loves the deepest wilderness;
And he bathes where the waters fall
From dangerous heights and rocky cliffs.
When darkness covers all;
And only when the world Is still.
And the woodbat wheels his flight
Among the shades of the forest, Wild
Does the coon come out at night,
And now he creeps from his all-day lair.
AS he shakes his soft fur hide
The moon Is descending in tho distant
west.
As he comes from the mountain side;
Nor cares the coon for the screeching
owl,
That leers from the hemlock bouGh;
The shades of night have settled down,
lie is bent on mischief now,
For the toad has gone to his winter
home:
And the fish in the brooks are shy;
The eggs have hatched from the wild
birds nest
And the juniper berry is dry;
But the coon must have a rich repast,
Ere the dawn of the coming day;
So he ambles off to fat hen-roost
OF ii farmers far away,
A thief he is and hent on crime,
You may see by the stripes on his tail;
The marks OF Cain, he can't discard,
And his maraudings never fail;
lie knows that the farmer now sleeps
we'll.
That the candle light burns low;
The watch-dog ceased to bark at twelve,
And the throb of life beats slow,
But, hark. On the fringe of the forest,
dark
Where the Raccoon wound his way.
The coon dogs baying voice Is heard,
And the robber does not stay;
The forms OF his victims strew The
ground,
The last of the farmers store;
The cluck of the hen and crow of the
cock,
On the farm are heard no more.
So the Raccoon turned his guilty steps
From the roost of his bloody crime
To his lonely den in the forest, dim
Where he dwelt in the summer time;
But life for life, he learned too late.
Is the solemn decree of men:
And the RaccQon sleeps his last long
sleep
In the shades of his rocky glen.
&C, ii Soper.

his astuteness and skill not less than to

that the American government at that

American sympathy and Appreciation.
In the talks which he gave upon what
may be called controversial topics of
religion and philosophy he illustrated
admirably the tone and temper in which
such subjects should be discussed put

champions by his lack of rancor, his
breadth of sympathy and of mtellec-

highly "clvlized" occidentals will find
hard TO maintain. Moreover; on the
various academic subjects which he
has discussed before gatherings of our

his sense of humor, traditionally scarce
among his countiymen, In short, Min
lister WI has been easily and without
apparent effort the most picturesque
and interesting figure among the for
