THE LOST LAND,
There is a story of a beautiful land,
Where fields were fertile and where flowers
were bright,
W here tall towers glistened in the morning
light,
Where happy children wandered hand in
hand,
WW here lovers wrote their names upon the
sand,
They say it vanished from all human sight;
The hungry sea devoured it in a night.
You doubt the tale? Ah! you will under-
stand;
Figg a8 men muse upon that fable old
They give sad oredence always at the last,
However they have caviled at its truth,
When with a tear-dimimed vision they be-
hold
Swift sinking in the ocean of the Past
The lovely lost Atlantis of their Youth.

He was always very civil io me, but
there was no love lost on either side,
There seldom is between two men in

“One day Mr. Crofton called me to
one side, stating that he was going to

good sense and integrity, by trusting to

Just before starting I called at Mr
Crofton's private office to receive the
money and his parting instructions. 1

my coat buttoned close to the chin, and
to avoid talking to strangers.

One of the greatest curiosities of the
present doy, found among the pines of
Knowlton a few weeks ago. It wasn
the form of a petrified squirrel, about

received last week by the sender, saying
that it would be carefully preserved an
placed in the public museum at Wash-
