Earth bath her mysteries, Round which eternal ehadows ever blend; And lite is mantled in a darksome guise Mortal can never rend, Conld we have a vision clear, As one of old, touched by the Prophet's hand, How closely would this world of ours appear Linked to the Spirit Land ! We mortals see it not, Yet, on imagination’s soaring wing, Our soul may roll amid those fields of thought, Which from its bosom spring. Who hath not felt the rush Of angels pinions—of unseen power— Steal o'er the heart within the selemn hush Of evening's holy hour? We hear, at such a tiine, Glad strains our own frail tongues cannot awake 3 Aud, oh! they bring a longing for that tine When earthly fetters break ! We never ars olone, F'en when we bend us o'er the quiet dead; Vor their is round us many a Guardian One, With silent, watehfu tread. They come, when hopes depart, When loving brows are marked with dark decay, And bring bright visions to the lonely heart, Of dear ones passed away. Unweariedly they go— moderate, the table good; and the proprictor | Those yiewless watchers, down life's ebbing stream | r To greet us, when forever it shall flow, In Heaven's uuclouded beam, Select “Viterature.

During the time the man was so em- 4 as ever; but 1 observed that her whole houghts were occupied with the same ob- ect that formed the subject of my watch. She made many excuses to visit the bar; the movements of the bar-womun. t J movement that bar-men and maids affect, she went to the door and stood consider- able time, looking intenUy over the now grazing cattle, with an oceasional glance at the teamster as he prepared his bed for the night, At length he retired under his tarpaulin, and I, too, expressed 2 wish to be shown my room, It was one of a row of small bed-chambers builtin a style frequently to be met with in country public houses, viz,, of weather-board with ivon roof, and almost detached from the main building. Bach room was provided with a door of its own that opened into the yard—a rather wet weather, when you require an umb- rella to reach the dining room, but one which exactly suited my plans at that mo- ment, My room was the very last of the row, and it was within afew fect of the stable that lay between me and the road where the teamster was camped. No sooner had I gained it than I took an opportunity, in the now gathering darkness, of passing out again, locking the door, putting the key in my pocket, and entering the stable, where Vino and another horse were con- |) tentedly munching their feed, In_ the} stable was an aperture, constructed, as is 5 usual, for throwing out the manure, and | this opening was almost close to the dray in which I was interested. Placing my- self in as casy a position as T could Ecom- menced a wateh, for what I should have been puzzled to tell. Twas certainly de- termined to watch the bullock-driver, but what Lexpeeted to discover was, at. that u much a mystery tome as what 1 over is to you nt this moment, e darkness ust have said was gath- ; indeed, it had gathered, and now was nothing but a host ot clear, but not a irmiunent. y sound of life had died out at the hotel, und every light was extinguished, and my patience was beginning to be almost ex usted, when a ustle of the tarpaulin atiracted my quick ext. Jn the shurlit obseutity, 1 could see the teamster cautiously emerge trom his lair, and peer carefully around before he raised hinself to his tall height irom under the dray. Once satistied. how- ever, that everyliing. was quict, he staried oft quickly in the direction ot the bush, and {. bounding through the opening of the stuble, was on his track as rapidly, | Jt might have been his bullocks he was looking alter, for all T know, for he was proceeding directly toward the sound of their tinkling bells; but H so, why all that caution as he left the dray, and why his lanxiety to steal under the shadow of every ltree and bush he met? Itwas to solve this question that I followed his example, jand keptas much inthe shadow as Leould ; jie there } | bright stars to illuminate ty cloud in the whole magnificent Lwaited there quictly until eve ingements for passing the night. | I it over it, while his blankets were spread | ti is beneath to form a primitive but accustom- | bush, lw at Uf jy }ed couch, In all this Twas as yet at fault; | Vino’s instinctive suspicion as it L had seen | more powerful fecling tha but T never believed that Vino’s sagacity |the crime the man had committed, and if 1) ¢ iad been asked to name the crime, Lshould| keep silent, ployed, 1 often spared a curious glance at u !

Lit was fortanate | did so, tor the man’s forest, than he had done as be lett his dray. It was but a few moments ere he reached the darker bush, and there he paused out of breath, asI could hear him panting as I stood within filty feet of him, behind the huge trunk of some tree, the genus which I did not trouble myself to note. As he stood there, irresolutely it seemed to me, I was glad to perceive that the moon had risen, und was beginning to pour long,| slant rays of brightness through the branches, that Jay like lances of silver up- on the shaded grass, ond make the dark- ness of the bush less obscure, Slowly, at the lapse of a few minutes,he went on, cautiousiy creeping, and, as ap- peared to ine, starting at every erack of a stick under his foot, or every rustle of a branch that he disturbed as he passed. T followed him as carefully, and once. as I was obliged to hide hurriedly behind in bush, as the teamster suddenly stopped, I fancied I saw another shadow form stop likewise, and likewise hide behind the trunk of a tree, at the other side of the man I followed. ‘This rather startled me and I felt to see that my revolvers were all right; but a moment served to convince me that it must have been all fancy, or the shadow of some branch that the even- ing breeze had moved. _ the teamster moyed onward again, and in a few more steps reached a small apen ue in ay Gai Sitar the trees were urther apart, and the moonlig ptra- ting Dircah ther UH brilliantly upon which he stopped suddenly more than ten yards from him now, but] ¢ wood while he stood directly in the slant]! wan as that of a ghost in the weird light, | ¢ overhanging branches, ly before him; and directly betore him lay a fallen tree, that scemed to have lain there | t for years. ‘The patches of grass looked | t ae parts of the log; but directly before Si Py) and fell rather ronbark, that must haye been anything LOY GISLCE isif in dreadful expectation, From ay)! my watch would be rewarded, have answered ‘ Afwrder !” Murder! and}? where?

As he did so, rrustle behind me caused me to look hurriedly round, and again I saw that dark shadow I had fancied betore ; but this time haste did not prevent him from stopping oceasionally and casting a quick glance behind him, although, strange to say, be seemed to hesitate more as he neared me [kept my eye upon it, and distinctly saw it flit past. me, and ere: p cautiously to within ten fect or so of the busy teamster, and there, behind a bush, it rested and loaned eagerly ever to watch the man’s movements, as it lite and death depended upon sight and silence, I will confess to you that at this moment T was so entirely paralyzed with astonish: ment thut, if there had been ocaecsion for sudden action, | could not have used it. ‘The figure that | had watched, and fancied was acreation of my own imagination, now distinetly shewed itself to be awoman in dark attire, and in the white, anxious face that leaned over to watch the team- ster, who rooted and scraped out the mould so hurriedly, I recognized the bar- maid at the Wallaby. Tn the face of all creation, what wos she doing there? What connection was there between this man, who evidently knew nothing of her, and this woman, who left her room to steal into the fearful dark bush, to watch a man who was an utter stranger to her? i a remained in the dim shade of some under-| and ringing their bells with ¢ white, like snow in the moonlight, and so| disappeared behind the house. dog, all eyes and ears, curred yesterday 1 money about the country now-a-days; his th 1im go happily on his harmless way, driving | comprehensive scicnee, cireumstance is that the spectacle was ou.ly witnessed in situations far removed from strong effort, and raised himself from his preparations Tt was all dark to me, and T was glad when the bullock driver, quickly gathering something out of the whole, and throwing or rather pushing the mould in again with his feet, hastily covered up all traces of it, and prepared to depart. , It seemed to me to be asmall parcel tied in a Lit of calico, that he carefully stowed in his shirt, but 1 was not near enough to notice distinctly, and my attention was distracted by the woman, who still remaine ed leaning over and watching, and so close that 1 almost fancied 1 could hear her breathing, although I was careful to keep cl ay hidden in the thick bush I ocea- pied. Much more rapidly than he had entered it, and with his h nd firmly grasping the treasure hidden in his breast, the man leit the bush, closely followed by the woman, who flitted from shadow to shudow like a spirit. In the wake of both I myself pro- ceeded cautiously, much moro oceupied now, however, with the movem nts of the singular bar-maid than 1 was with those of the teamster; him I was sure of; he was not at all likely to run away and leave his bullocks and dray behind him; and if was at Ieast certain of knowing when he let; with her it was different. As a clue to the conduct ef the man, I was, deter- mined to haye an explanition of her own that very night, nothing doubting but there Was some strange nystery, attached to it, which it would do me advantage to know.
