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, Hrom late Grchanges, 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, Our mercantile marine, according to the latest oflicial returns, includes 6,882 yes- sels of all ses, representing an aggre: gute measurement of 776,343 tons; 983 Imperial register, 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.

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,— Nashville Union.

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.
