THE NEWS OF BELFAST.
SUNSET.

Upon the white robed vale below.
And then the sun in silence dips
Behind yon bank of fleecy cloud,
That like gray robe, slowly slips
To spread DER all the west its shrOud.
And now the darkness settles down,
On hill and glade. on lake and stream,
And with its shadow seems to frOWn
Upon the daylight's parting CLEAN.
Then comes the hour, when memories thrOng,
And cluster round the dreamer, so
That they reach out with fingers strong
And drag him to the long ago.
Each form, each face of by gone days
Now rises clear as monday light,
And stepping from out times dim haze,
Come forth to greet him, thro Ugh the night.
One moment with the friends of old,
And then the present claims her due,
But oh we hate to break the hold.
And say, sold times farewell to you"
The nights dark shadow draweth near,
And twilight now has all but fled;
The futures voice in accents clear,
Says, s'fOllow me, the past is dead"

A friend of The Journal, who is often called
upon for local news, has just thought of an
item he intended to give us last fall! Some
young men had bought house which they
wanted taken down and they spoke to
man living in the country about doing the
work. He could not do it at the time they
wanted it done, and they engaged others.
Later the man from the country. with an
assistant, arrived to do the work and think
ing they knew the right building they tore
down structure belonging to another
party. Then they went to the young men
in question for their pay, when they dis
covered that they had torn down the wrong
building. The owner, when notified, said
that if they would pile up the material and
clear up the lot he would say nothing more
about it :; but he did not propose to pay for
having his building pulled down. This is
a last fall item, remember; but it is pretty
good one.
