Birth of the New Year.
The bells of the city ringing,
Their clappers are joyously swinging, And they strike sweet notes From their iron throats,
Their weicome tidings bringing.
A solemn thing is the birth Of a year untried, unknown ; What a myriad startling things May arise from zone to zone ! | And the earth, now once more peaceful, May bristle again with steel, And the halcyon calm of rest Be burst by the thunder-peal ; And the friends that now are left us, Though few, may fewer grow, And silence fall over the infant, And over the locks of snow.
|
We know not, but ‘tis solemn, This birth of an infant year, And we know not whether to smile, Or whether to drop a tear. But here the bells are ringing, And laugh our fears to scorn, And we will be up and doing Upon the untried morn ; With a fostering God above us, To guide us on our way, Through weal and woe to love us, So ail hail to the New Year's Day! James ORTON,

CHAPTER XXIII. (Continued )
‘*Sister,” said she, “‘I thought we had agreed but last night, that happen to us what might, we would at least love each other.”’
‘“‘Much may happen betwixt night and morning,” answered Minna, in words rather wrenched from her by her situation than flowing forth the voluntary interpreters of her thoughts.”
‘*Much may indeed have happened in a night so stormy,” answered Brenda; ‘‘ for see where the very wall around Euphane’s plant- a-cruive has been blown down; but neither wind, nor rain, nor naught else, can cool our affection, Minna.”
“But that may chance,” replied Minna, ‘*which may convert it into——”
The rest of the sentence she muttered in a tone so indistinct, that it could not be appre- hended, while, at the same time, she washed the blood-stains from her feet and left ankle. Brenda, who still remained locking on at some distance, endeavored in vain to assume some tone which might re-establish kindness and confidence betwixt them.
** You were right,” she said, ‘‘ Minna, to suffer no one to help you to dress so simple a rs where I do, it is scarce visi
e.
** The most cruel wounds,” replied Minna, ‘‘are those which make no outward show. Are you sure you see it at all?”
“Oh, yes!” replied Brenda, framing her answer as she thought would best please her sister; ‘‘I see a very slight scratch; nay, now you draw on the stocking, I can see nothing.” **You do indeed see nothing,” answered Minna, somewhat wildly; ‘‘ but the time will soon come that all—ay, all—-will be seen and known.”
So saying, she hastily completed her dress and led the way to breakfast, where she as- sumed her place amongst the guests; but with a countenance so pale and haggard, and man- ners and speech so altered ee so bewildered, that it excited the attention of the whole com- pany, andthe utmost anxiety on the part of her tather, Magnus Troil. Many and various were the conjectures of the guests, concerning a distemperature which seemed rather mental than corporal. Some hinted that the maiden had been struck with an evil eye, and something they muttered about Norna of the Fitful-head; some taiked of the departure of Captain Cleveland, and murmured, *‘ it was a shame for a young lady to take on so after a landlouper, of whom no one knew anything ;” and this contemptous epithet, was so particu
lar bestowed on the Captain by Mistress Baby Yellowley, while she was in the act of wrap- ping round her old skinny neck the very handsome owerlay (as she called it)wherewith the said captain had presented her. The old Lady Glowrowrum had a system of her own, which she hinted to Mistress Yellowley, after thanking God that her own connection with the Burgh-Westra family was by the lass’s mother, who was a canny Scotswoman, like herself.
‘For, as to these Troils, you see, Dame
Yellowley, for high as they hold their heads they say that ken,” (winking sagaciously) ‘‘that there is a bee in their bonnet; —that Norna, as they cail her, for it’s not her right name neither, is at whiles far beside her right mind—and they that ken the cause, say the Fowd was some gate or other linked in with it; for he will never hear an ill word of her. But I was in Scotland then, or I might have kend the real cause, as weel as other folk. At ony rate, there is a kind of wildness in the blood. Ye ken very weel daft folks dinna bide to be contradicted; and I'll say that: or the Fowd—he likes to be contradict<d as ill as ony man in Zetland. But it shall never be said that I said ony ill of the house that I am sae nearly connected wi’. Only ye will mind, dame, it is throngh the Sinclairs that we are akin, not through the Troils,—and the Sin- clairs are kend far and wide fora wise gen- eration, dame. But I see there is the stirrup- cup coming round.” ‘‘T wonder,” said Mistress Baby to her brother, as soon as the Cady Glowrowrum turned from her, ‘‘what gars that muckle wife dame, dame, dame, thav gate at me: She might ken the blude of the Clinkscales is as gude as ony Glowrowrum’s among them.”
The guests. meanwhile, were fast taking their departure, scarcely noticed by Magnus, who was so mueh engrossed with Minna’s in- disposition, that, contrary to his hospitable wont, he suffered them to go away unsaluted. And thus concluded, amidst anxiety and ill. ness, the festival of St. John, as celebrated on that season at the house of Burgh-Westra; adding another caution to that of the Em- peror of Ethiopia—with bow little security man can reckon upor the days which ,he des- tines to happiness.

Frank MecNeally’s Confession.

|HE TELLS A STRANGE STORY-—HIS WANDER- | INGS ON THREE CONTINENTS. Frank McNeally, just previous t parture, gave a Haliiax Chronicle rej tative an interesting account | ments since his sudden disappearance from Saco, Maine, and how he was led to commit
His move
the crime. Following 1s his story: ‘On the day of the affair 1 returned from dinner to the bank about 12 ociock. Uj to that time lLhad none of thi bonds or money in my possession, nor did I have ithem till 1 started from the bank for the | Kastern railway station in Biddetora,
| ‘ . . to which ] pI ceeded direct. It was about three o'clock when J took the bonds tre
ithe vauits and left the building. I had
idea then of the value of the bonds,
ili bo
ili i
did not examine them till l reached Lon don. It was about four o'clock when J started on the train out of Biddeford station, with a ticket for Portland i as
sumed no disguise whatever, and did not have the material for effecting any. My only baggage was a small satchel containing the bonds. At Portland, which I reached half an hour later, I immediately bought a through ticket for Montreal, by the Port-
land and Ogdensburg railway, but at St. Johnsburg, Vt., Lleft the train. It was now one o'clock Tuesday morning. I pro-
ceeded to a hotel and put up for the night. After breakfast I purchased a new ticket, but left the train at noon at some small place, had dinner and took a ride across the country on a stage coach, which landed me at Cedar Falls, Vt., the same afternoon. At this place I obtained another ticket for a town in Vermont, on the Canadian bor- der, the name of which I cannot recall. 1 got to the border at 3.30 o'clock, and re- mained there till six, when I boarded a Canadian Pacific train for Montreal. My baggage was on the seat alongside me, but was not molested by customs, officers. The repeated changes of my route were not adopted through fear at the time, but
merely to elude pursuit. When I left the Portland and Ogdensburg line the first
time, the conductor gave me half of a re- turn ticket to Orchard Beach, as he had taken up my own through ticket to Mon- treal. The use of this afterwards probably assisted in throwing off any suspicion.
made no further change till Montreal was reached, where without any delay, I took a train for Quebec, where l arrived early on Wednesday morning. I spent all that day and night at the St. Louis Hetel, in Quebee, and on the following day, having purchased an Allan line ticket for Liverpool, went on board the steamer Parisian, which sailed immediately. During all this time,and throughout all of my travels I did not observe that any suspicions were directed towards me by detectives or others, though I made no effort to disgvise myself or change my appearance in any manner. At Moville, where the mails were landed, I left the steamer, proceeded to Dublin, crossed to Holyhead and made for London. Here a couple of days later | engaged a stateroom on a passenger steamer for Egypt end was landed at Suez. I spent a good deal of time wandering about this country, visiting Cairo, Alexandria and other interesting points. From Egypt I went to Italy, visiting Rome and Naples among other places, then passed through Switzerland to Vienna and other Austrian cities. I made stoppages at innumerable points, the names of which | not pretend to repeat, but at no place did | remain more than a few days. 1 was ever on the move, for the purpose of baffling any pursuit that might be gein After going through France, Germany nd Belgium, I returned to England and kept moving round there till I determined to
Coui |
return to Canada, and accordingly took passage on the steamer Polynesian for this city
* Tf Wi bgypl that i j ' at letter th Dall it was hot i wa l with th te n opebing neyouation ra i but for the purpose ol finding some me Lo restore the stolen bonds. I did not come
to Halifax at the request of any person, bu entirely of my own accord, Kven the bank authorities did not know of my being on the way till four days after the steamer Polynesian sailed from England, when they received a letter posted there by me. That letter, 1 am informed, and believe, was opened in the Saco post office, for some of its contents were known to outsiders in Saco before it had been delivered to the bank. The result of its receipt was that my brother came to Halifax to meet me. What passed between us in reference to the bonds I cannot say. The bank could not make any compromise with me in order to secure them, because the law will not permit. To dispose of this question, how- ever, | must decline to say anything touch- ing the whereabout or disposition of the bonds. If I would, I could say where | believe them to be, of my own knowledge, but I will not impart any information on that point
‘*The removal of the bonds was planned and executed by me inside of two hours, Up to the Monday afternoon when I left Saco the idea had never entered my mind, It was a sudden impulse, which rendered me desperate, and J determined to carry it out. The case was only another of the many where people receiving small salaries like I did, and spending too much, get into the habit of taking a little at a time and end up by attempting a big and sudden sweep. The stories about fast living, fancy women, sppending nights away from home, and others of the kind, are not true, as everybody in Saco knowing me can testify. In proof of this I may say that there is a Saco merchant of high standing who is known to have offered to give me a situa- tion if 1 returned and made amends to the bank. I don’t know that I will return, but iT have thought seriously of doing so, and it may result in that. I expected arrest as soon as | arrived in Halifax, therefore it came with no surprise whatever, but I knew nothing could be done with me in Canada and felt no alarm,”
