POETRY.

A OHANGE OF THE MOON.

A plain clever man, is neighbor Gray,
Aud we often take counsel together ;

He lived in a farm house over the way
And 1s Wise m respect to the weather!

He watches all signs, night, morning, and noon,

But pins bis great faith on the change of the moon,

Tn the dull, drizzly May, when the signs were all
bad,
And, day after day, it kept raining—
When the furmers were sud, and the women were
mad,
And all the wide world were complaining—
Farwer Gray went on piping the very sume tune.
it'll never clear olf till u change m the moon.”

T admired his great faith, for the wind blew strong
From icebergs und isle of the ocean;
The mean had changed thrice, while the storm kept
along,
But my neighbor still stuck to his notion ;
At length it cleared up, near the coming of June,
Two days aud a hulf from the chunge of the moon !

Inthe long Summer drought, when the springs had
run dry,

Not a sign of a rain cloud appearing,

Neighbor Gray who knew the wheret

Spake out, and bis accents were ¢

“* We are bound to huve dilfurent weather soon,

For to-morrow, you see, there’s a change of the

moon !''

eand why,

ig —

T sit by his fire on a sharp winter night,
When the glass below zero is ranging,

My neighbor instructs me with hovest delight,
(Kor his fuith in the moon is unchaning,)

That a thaw will set in by Saturday noon,

For just at that time comes a change of the moon.

Tent and cold, wet and dry, or whatever the grief
Under whicit our poor earth may be lying,
Neighbor Gray knows the source whence must
come our relief—
Nouge of his grouhing and sighing :
He tells all he inects that the change will come
sv0n
© We must wait my dear friend, tilla chunge in the
moon 1?

He Cares not ajot for the college or school,
And pisses their doings unbeaded :
Sull he holds by the old philosophical rule
‘To name no thore causes thin needed ;
And, us one is chough. the rest let us prune,
And make ull things proceed from a change in the
moon,

SINGULAR AFFAIR, —

A CORPSE FRIGHTENS TIE PALL- BEARERS BY
CALLING FOR A JULEP,

: [From the Norfolk, Va., Journal]

Rather a ludicrous event occurred on
Saturday last. It having been reported
that a certain genUleman had died, and
was to have been buried on Saturday even-
ing, quite a number of his old friends and
acquaintances repaired to his house, to pay
the lust sad tribute of respect by following
his remains to the grave,

As the death had been sudden, the coro-
ner‘had been summened, and when the
duties had been performed the remains
were placed on an extemporised heurse,
and the procession formed,

Betore moving, the hospitalities of the

de d's house were extended to those
present in the shape of a good, stiff brandy

Julep to each, so as the better to enable
them to undergo the fatigue of the long
march to the new burying ground,

While the pall bearers, \ ho were stand-
ing by the hearse, were slowly sipping
their juleps, and now and again giving the
goblets a slight shake to settle the ice in
them, a noise was heard in the coflin, which
turned some faves whiter than they had
been for years before. Finally, the under-
taker for the occasion mustered courage
enough to unscrew the coflin-lid, when
horrible to behold, up sat the supposed
corpse, and coolly asked for his julep. He
got down and stated to the gaping crowd
he had been in a sort of trance, aud knew
all that was going on around him, but was
unable to arouse himsclf until his ears
were greeted with the familiar jingle ot
th: iee, and his nose with the delicious
smell of the brandy and mint in the goblets
round the hearse, the thoughts called forth
by which infused new lile into his system,
and the desire to partake became so strong
he was able to break the trance which had
come near to consigning him to a prema-
ture grave,

llis triends were too much astonished at
whut they had witnessed, and too glad to
see him among them again to investigate
the pailosophy of the thing, so they allad-
journed to his house, where juleps passed
around long enough to accomplish for the
whole party that tate from which the first
one had so miraculously delivered their
host,

THE DOMINION AS A LEADING COM-
MERCIAL POWER.

Tf our people had the facility of brag
in anything like the measure in which our
Yankee neighbors possess it, we should
certainly ring the changes on the splendid
position we eceupy us a Commercial Pow-
er,

latest oflicial returns, includes 6,882 yes-
sels of all ses, representing an aggre:

manned by crews numbering in all 37,236
men; of whom 3,192 belong to Ontario;
8,648 to Quebec ; 6,027 to New Brunswick ;
and 19,288 to Nova Scotia.
Of the whole number of eraft, 3,974 are |

‘The ¢

an under estimate,

Were the marine of Prince Edward Is-
land : nd Newfoundland added to the Do-
minion, we should reckon at least on an
addition of twelve per cent, to the aggre-
gute tonnage, number of hands employed
and total yalue, The day must soon come
when that addition will be necessary to
make the return complete, and then we
shall take rank but a few degrees below
tne foremost Commercial Powers of the
world. Surely there is here the material
basis for a strong and enduring Union—a
nucleus for a powerful navy when the time
comes that the Dominion shall assume the
responsibility of political independence,—

NAPOLOEN AS A SMOKER,

The Liberte of Paris of September 1st hag
singular articles from the pen of M. EK. de
Girardin on the situation of France, in
which he says :— :

‘*The Emperor Napoleon possesses in
the highest degree two sovereign qualities
— goodness and sweetness. Ifthe were not
endowed by nature with these qualities we
shauld have had after December 2, 1881,
despotism and a despot, whereas he had
only tyranny withoutatyrant, Ifwe lived
in times when names were attached to
sovereigns, he would have been called Na-
poleon ‘the well meaning.” How are we
to explain the fact that Nupolcon deserves
all praise and the Empire all criticism? It
is because the Emperor's qualities are
neutralized, not by a defect, but an error.
Led astray by the example of his uncle
Napoleon L., who yaingloriously dated a
degree about the Theatre Franeais from
Moscow, he imagines that it if requisite
tor his present prestige and his tuture
glory that he should conceive and execute
everything by itself. But would it not
have been better to leave the Theatre
Francais alone and to bring back the army
safe and sound trom Moscow? ‘The Em-
peror does not banish liberty because he
believes that ii he were to allow it to ex-
pand its wings and take flight it would
prevent him trom accomplishing the great
things he dreams of. 1 do not say what
he conceives bat what he dreams of. ‘To
smoke is to dream awake, ‘The Emperor
smokes an immense number of cigarettes,
uid when he smokes France appears to
him as grand as it nppeared litte to him
under Lonis Philippe. And because France
seems toghim to be great he persuades aim-
self that she is great, Sincerely believing
that the greatness he is dreaming about
he has realized, he cannot understand how
there can exist minds sour enough to the
shadow to the booty—in other words. in-

is not ill meant onthe part of the Emperor,
itis a simple delusion.
illusion—which is keptup by the drunken-
uess of tobacco—is dissipated, France will
become free ; not partially, but wholly free,

Sincutarn SaGacrry or A DoG.—The
best dog story which we have heard ot for
some time. and which is youched for to be
tue in every particular, comes to us from
Roberton County, A few nights ago Mr.
Williams, who resides about four miles
west of Springfield, let a neighbor, Mr,
Pettit, have the use of his dog to assist and
protect him from chicken thieves, About
twelve o'vlock on the same night a burglar
entered the stable of Mr. Williams and
stole therefrom a young bay mare, with a
saddle and bridle, and was riding along
the road past Pettis house, when the dog
commenced barking, and breaking his
chain, bounded alter the horseman at full
speed. The chase continued for four miles,
when the horse stumbled and fell. ‘Vhe
dog rushed up and immediately attacked,
it is supposed, the daring theit, who fired
three shots at the animal, but missed him,
us no marks were found upon him,

Whether the dog closed in upon the theit,
or whether the theif took to his heels across
the country, has not been definitely ascer-
tuned, but the dog caught the bridle lines
in his mouth, and led the hors? back three
miles, where he was met by Mr, Pettit and
his man, who were aroused by the furious
sounds and were following in the direction
whither they went, Mr. Pettit immediate-
ly recognized the horse and dog, and at
onee surmised what had happened, The
whole four, the two men, dog and horse,
returned to Mr, Williams’, whom they
found fast asleep, altogether ignorant ol
what had taken place. ‘The next day sey-
eral people in the locality testified to hear-
ing three distinct shots fired about the
place where the dog brought the robber
to bay, and one of the bullets were found
on the road about four hundied yards trom
the spot where the scufile took place. The
dog is about four years old, and weighs
nbout fotty-five pounds, Mr. Williams
would not part with him for any money,—

Spaix.—The state of Spain is appalling.
While conspiracy reigns in the eapital,and
many of her most distinguished citizens
have been shipped off to the Canaries,
famine threatens to aggravate her condi-
tion, Itis said that greater distress pre-
vails in the country than at any time dur-
ing the lasthalfcentury. Spain grows the
finest wheat in Europe. The central pro-
vinces are one vast cornfield, and if fully
cultivated, would supply the deficient har-
vest of half of Europe. It is not so much
an adverse season that diminishes the sup-
ply cf food as the unsettled state of the
country which indisposes men to sow
when they may not expect to reap. The
country is never free from conspiracies of
some kind, Military and politieal adven-
turers divide the country between them.
When Naryaez goes, Gonzales Bravo suc-
ceeds him, and the same system is pur-
sued, Spain has a Cortes, but no person
knows anything about it, what it does, or
what it omits to do. Only the other day
one hundred persons, comprising some of
great distinction, were whipped up by the
Ministry and sent out of the country. The
Duke de Montpensier, the Queen's brother-
in-law, was ordered off, though he was
guilty of no greater crime than sending the
Queen's own sister to advise her of the
danger that threatened her crown. Now
come a deficient harvest, and crowds o
beggars in the capital and central cities.
It is not difficult to foresee the end of this
calimitons state of things. Much will de-
pend on the army. It it be well affected,
and commanded by oflicers who enjoy its
confidence, and loyal to the crown, Queen
Isabella may hold her ground. But the fi-
delity of a Spanish regiment is never to be
depended on, ‘Then the financial condition
may precipitate a change. If the taxes
cannot be collected, how are the expenses
of the State to be detrayed? Foreign loans
are impossible, for Spain is shut out from
the money market of the world. Alto-
gether the prospect is dismal.—Jrish paper,

We haye often been asked the difference
between a “ carpet bagger” and a “scalas
wag.” The laka, Mississippi, Gazette
snswers the question in the following man-
ner: The carpet-bagger is a Northern theif;
who conies South to plunder every white
mun who is a gentleman of any property
or respectibility, and get all the offieés he
san. The Scalawag is a Southern born
scoundrel, who will do all the earpet-bag-
ger will, and besides, murder the carpet-bag-
ger for the gutta perch ring his sister gave
him when he left home. Nice men thesé
