among the gusty trees,
The moon was aghostly galleon ¢0§,,,~d

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over

The highwnyman came riding, up to the

He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead
a bunch of lace at his chin _ 1
A coat of the claret velvet, and lrreeehes
` of brown doeskin;
They fitted with never afwriukle: his boots
were up to the thigh!
Aud he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol-butts a-twinkle,
Hia rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the
jewelled sky
ru
Over the cobbles he clattered and elarrged
in the dark inn-yard,
And he tapped with his whip on the shut
ters, but all was locked and barred;
He whistle`d a tune to the window, and
who should be waiting there "
But the landlord‘s bhick-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting u .dark-red love-knot into her
long .black hair.

And dark in the dark old inn-yard a
stable-wicket creaked ,
Where Tim ‘the ostler "listened: his face
was white and peaked; _
'His eyes "were 'hollows of madness, his
hail' like rnoldy hay,
But he loved t-he landlord’s daughter,
The landlord's red-lipped daughter,
Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard
the robber say--
"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm
after a` prize tonight, i
But I shall be buck with the yellow gold
before the morning light;
Yet, if they press me sharply, ami harry
_ me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight;
Watch for inie by moonlight;
1‘ll come to thee by moonlight, though
hell should bar tl\e way!"

I»Ie rose uprightdn the-stirrups; he scarce
could reach her hand
But she loosenedhcr hair i‘[the casement!
His face burnt like a brand
As the black cascade of perfume came
tumbling over his breast;
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight
_ (Oh, sweet black waves in the

Then he tugged at his rein in the moorl-
light,and gulloped away to the west.

‘ rovihee. I was prompted to write this
Asa student of our Island flora during
the past twenty~five years, l um much
_pleased to note the interest which seems
td have been awakened lately in the
mutter ofiour wild plants and \\'ecds.
Tile terrors of Rugwort seein to have
kindled the interest now so evident und l
mu' naturally muehhgratificrl to hear the
wurning which I gave-in an article pub-
lished in the Prince Y<Z\l\vurrl l_~°lund l\lug1i-
zine six years ago, repeated so often and
vehemently. At that time toufhrm .~erio\i:;-
ly, that Ragwort was the source of thi-
Pictou' cattle disease was to excite in-
credulity if not ridicule even on the part
iof those who are now active in the cru-
sade against the' pest. But my convic-
tions thexi expressed are now declared to
have been ive!! founded, for llr_ Ruth-
’ < .
‘exliaiistive'excperirneuts conducted by ling
Pethick during the past three years, su_\'.~|
in his latest report"iNhi\:l.\ 1 received from!
him last Saturday'night-“there need, I
think, be no longer any doubt as to the
cause of the Pictou cattle' disease." l
Ho‘vvever`,' some years ngo I began tn,
uspect that the plant itself is out the
prime cause of the trouble but that it is
rathir the vehicle by which the trouble
is tmrrsniitted. To be more exact-I sus-`
ipcct that tl\e plant is the host of a flingus
which does the damage. But this for
future consideration.
If the Rslgwort never did any other
good beyond making the landscape gay
' with its showy Bowers, it has evidently
,been the means of awakening an interest
on the subject of obnoxious weeds in this
P
letter by reading Rev. Father Burke's
letter upon some other bad weeds, in your

of Cliicory us likely imported lately from

he cites. but chicory was anolrl. immi-
