The hours flew past, until at last,
The twilight kissed the shore ;

We suid: Such daya shall come again,
For ever, evermore’!

One day again, no cloud of pain
A shadow oe’r us cast,

Aifi yet we strove in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past;

Like, but unlike the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,

The words we suid, the songs we sung,
Like—unlike—evermore,

Vor ghosts unseen crept in between,
And when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an undertone,
And marred the harmony.
“The past is ours, not yours,’’ they suid,
“The wayes that beat the shore,
Thonyh like the same are not the same,
Oh, never, never more!’

Mr. and Mrs. M were ahappy young
couple, who, in the middle of last century,
resided on their own estate in a pleasant
yart of the province of Leinster, in Ireland.
Baioning a handsome competence, they
spent their time in various raral occupa-
tions; and the birth ot a lite girl promis-
ed to crown their Ielicity, and provide them
with an object of perpetual interest. On the
Halloween tollowing this last event, the
ents retired to rest as their usual hour,
Mrs. M having her infant on her arm,
so that she might be roused by the slight
est uneasiness it might exhibit. From
teething or some other aiiment, the child,
about midnight, became very restless, and
not receiving the aecustomed attention trom
its mother, cried so violently as to waken

loudly, but still to no purpose ; she seemed
to be in a heavy unessy slumber, and when
all her husband’s attempts to rouse her by
calling and shaking proved ineffectual, he
was obliged to take the child himself, and
try to appense its wailings. After many
yain attempts of this sort on his part, the
little creature at last sobbed itsell to rest,
and the mother slepton to a much liter
hour than her usual time of rising in the
morning. When Mr M saw shat she
was ivike, he told her of the restlessness
of the baby during the night, and how, af-
ter having tried in vain every means to
rouse her, he had at last been obliged. to
imake an awkward attempt to take her
place, and lost thereby some hours of his
night's rest. ‘* 1, too, she replied, *
passed the most miserable night I ever ex-
perienced; I now see that sleep and rest
are two different things. How [wish you
had been able to awake me—it would
spared me some of my fatigue and anxiety!
T thought I was dragged against my will
into a strange part of the country, where I
had never been betore, and, alter what ap-
peared to me a Jong and weary journey on
foot, I arrived at a comlortable- looking
house. I went in longing to rest, but had
no power to sit down, although there was
a nice supper laid out before a good tire,
and every appearance of preparations for
an expected visitor. Exhausted as 1 felt,
I was only allowed to stand for a minute
or tio, and then hurried away by the same
road back again; but now it is over, and
after all itis only adream” Her husband
listened with interest to her story. aud
then sighing deeply, said: My d ur}
Sarah, you will not long have me beside
you; whoever is to be your second hus-
band played last night some evil trick of
which you have been the vietim.” Shocked
as she felt at this announcement, she en-

deayored to suppress her own — feel-
ings, and to rally — her husband's
spivits, “hoping that it would pass

trom his mind as soon as he had become
engrossed by the active business of the
day.

Some months passed tranquilly away
after this occurrence, and the dream = on
Halloween night had well-nigh been for-
rotten by both husband and wife, when
Mr M——'s health began to fail, He had
never been a robust man, and he now de-
clined so rapidly, that in a short time, not-
withstanding all the remedics and natten-
tions that skill could suggest, or affection
bestow, his wife was lett a mourning wid-
ow. Her energetic mind and active habits
however, prevented her from abandoning
herselt to the desolation of griet. She con-
tinued, as her husband bad done during
his life, to farm the estate, and in this em-
ployment, and the education of her little
girl, she found ample und salutary oceu-
pation. Alike admired and beloved for the
judicious management ot her worldly at-
fairs, and her true Christian benevolence
and kindliness ot heart, she might easily,
had she been so inclined, have established
herself respectably for a second time in
lite, but such a thought seemed never to
enter her mind, She had an uncle, a wise.
kind oll man, who, living at a distance,
olten paid a visit to the widow, looked over
her farm, and gave her useful advice and
ossistance. ‘This old gentleman had a
neighbor named C——, a prudent young
mon, who stood very high in his favor
Whenever they met, Mrs. M ‘3 uncle

pointed his fiager in the Zivection of Mrs.
M——., he suid: ** Mr, ——, we need not
go any further, for if ever I am to be mar:
ried, there is my wife!” « Well, C——,”
was the reply, **that is my niece, to whom
Tam about to introduce you; but tell me,”
he added, ‘tis that what you call love at
first sight, or what do you mean by your
sudden decision in favor of a person with
whom you have never exchanged a word ?”
“Why, sir,” replied the young man, ‘1
find I have betrayed myself, and must now
make my confession. A year or two ago,
I tried a Halloween-spell, and sat up all
night to watch the result. [declare to you
most solemnly, that the figure of that lady
as I now see her, entered my room and
looked at me, She stood a minute or two
by the fire and then disappeared as sud-
denly as she came. I was wide awake,
and felt considerable remorse at haying
thus ventured to tamper with the powers
of the unseen world ; but I assure you,that
every particular of her features, dress,avd
figure, have been so present to my mind
ever since, that I could not possibly make
amistake, and the moment I saw your
nicee, [ was convineed that she was indeed
the woman whose image I beheld on that
never-to-be-forgotten Halloween.” — The
old gentleman, as may be anticipated, was
not 2 little astonished at bis friend's state-
ment, but all comments on it were for the
time puta stop to by the arrival at Mrs.
M ‘shouse. She was glad to see her
uncle, and made his friend welcome, per-
forming the duties of hospitality with a
simplicity and heartlessness that were very
attractive to her stranger-guest, After her
visitors had retreshed themselves, her un-
cle walked out with her to leok over the
farm, and took opportunity, in the absence
ot Mr. C——, to recommend bim to the fa-
yorable consid ration of his niece. ‘Tomake
wu long story short, the impression was
mutually agreeable. Mr, C , betore
leaving the house obtained permission from
Mrs. M to visit her, and atter a brief
courtship they were married. ‘They lived

Desperate Indian Fizht—United States
Troops Surrounded.

The Philadelphia North American prints
aletter dated at Fort Wallace, Kansas,
Oct. 1, from Lieutenant-Colonel Car-
penter, who went to the relief of Colonel
Forrest, when recently attacked and sur:
rounded by Indians upon an Island in
“Bob Tail Creek.” First. deseribing his
search tor Forsyth’s party, its exact where-
abouts being unknown, and their arrival
in the vicinity of the creek, he proceeds
to say:
In the centre of the creck IT observed a
little grassy place or island, with a few
rees on it, and some objects whieh ap-
ed to be moving. We instantly rush-
ed forward, and on nearing the place were
received by the whole party with loud
cheers. I threw up my cap and shouted,
and never felt more excited in my lite.
ihese men, in this out of the way place,
seemed tome like a party on the wide
ocean, for they certainly were as helpless.
The Indians first appeared on the 17th
varly in the morning, when they were
encamped on the side of the creek—a
party of about fifteen attempted to run off
their horses. Forsyth had been following
iw trail for several days, finally was led into
the wild country by it, The signs became
more frequent and fresh, and the most ex-
perienced men with bin predicted that
they would socn fall upon a hirge village.
Whien the Indi ns ran of the four or tive
head of stock on the morning of the 17th,
an old scout, by the name ot Sharp, in-
stantly shouted that the Indians would
soon appear in force and advised them to
proceed to a little island in the centre ol
the dry bed. Forsyth ordered them there,
ind they tied their horses to a few scanty
serubs near by. In about five minutes a
very large torce ot Indians were
ing down to the creck by ar
halt a mile distant, and also some appeared
on ravine behind, ‘Lhe shout was
raised to dig inthe sand and get under

them about five hundred strong; some of
the warriors coming within a few feet,
in the most recklossmanner, A close fire
with breech-loaders caused a number to
tall from their horses; dead and wounded,
and torced the rest to fall back, This gave
the party time to dig their holes daeper.
I'wo men were killed about this time.

me by the hand and seemed quite affected:

A large bear, weighing between 400 and

Ludlow. Bruin had committed Uepreda-

his presence was imything but desirable.
While a young man was hunting up some
cattle, he came suddenly on the vear lying:

The American Agriculturist, a journal of
high standing and a warm tfri¢nd of the
fuming interest, and not supposed to be
biased upon any subjects outside of agri-
culture, speaks of the advantages of rail-
roads as tollows:—To haul 40 bushels of
corn 40 iniles ona ron would cost at
ivast $12 lor team, driverand expenses, A
railroad would transport it for $3 at most.
Allowing an average of 40 bushels per
acre, the crop would be worth $8 per acre
or 8 per cent on $100, As the reltive ad-
vantage is about the same for other crops,
it is clear that a railroad passage through
a town would add $110 per acre to the ya-
lueof farms. contains 64,900 acres, An increase of
8100 per acre is equal to $6,400,000, or
enough to build 200° miles of railroad,
even it it cost $33,000 per mile. But 200
miles of road would extend through 20
towns ten miles sqare and costs but $10
per acre, if taxed upon the land. ‘These
ligures are given merely as an illustration.
tt the farmers had taxed themselves to
build all the railroads in this country, and
gave them away to any companies that
would stock and run them the present in-
creeased yalue of their lands would have
well repaid the outlay.

The Halitax Zxpress thanks the Dominion
government has pursued the ** do-nothing”
lolicy in Noya Scotia matters long enough,
It says that Nova Scotia is only half represen-
ted inthe Privy Council and not at all in the
Railway Board—scarcely an oppointment of
any kind is made for Nova Scotia; nota
vacancy, high or low, is filled up. he #z-
s intimates that this state of things has
ted too long; and that the result of such
timid policy, so fur from having any bene
ficial effect, only tendcr to increase the in-
solence of Repealers. It advises the Govern-
ment to act more boldly, and it presents the
name of Stewart Campbell, Dr. Tupper and
Joseph Howe as those of men from whom the
Privy Council might select a colleague. The
Government should give some attention to
the advice of the Express, which not only
fully understands * the situation” but hus the
courage to state its convictions boldly. ‘Lhe
Express in the past has rendered the Union
and the Government good service, we hope
the Government will not treat ite patrotie

The clections in England are absorbing
every other topic. Several Tors members of
the old Parliameut are said to have declined
nomination agein, and the Liverals couft
upon a majority of at least 35 in a full house,
The female suitrage question is also creating
a lively excitement. ‘Che Revising Barristers,
whose duty itis 10 see that the voters’ lists
are properly made out, in most cases object
to the insertion of the names of female * per-
sons’ in the list, and for the present their de-
cision ends the trouble. A few others, how-
