Oar smile might brighten his care worn
face,
Inspire his life with a thousand cheers,
A thousand cheers for the sewing girl!
With her tired bands and her heavy
heart
Though pure in soul- unknown in the whirl
Of movey-makers in city mart,
O beantiful flower on the toilsome path,
O jewel rare for the weary eyes,
O thought sublime that her toiling bath
A thousand cheers from the starry, skies!
A thousand cheers for the honest boy,
Unlearned in schemes of fame
wealth, !
Whose steps are heralds of restless joy-—
The restless joy of rugged health.
The clouds may shadow, seme sunny day,
This pteture gilt with morning light,
But hovor on earth still finds a way
And room enough for a deed of right.
and
A thousand cheers for the man of might!
Who bravely strives when others fall,
Who marches on to the losing fight
When rights go down and
prevail,
The man who bears
frown
And Censure's bitter blasting breath,
tecoives at last, a dear-bought crown,
A thousand cheers at the gates of death,

was an unexplained mystery. .
The coroner's jury found Louis Hust
guilty of the murder, and the youog
man was remanded for trial,
When the deceased's affairs were ex- |
amined it was discovered that the plan- |
tation really belonged to his exiled
brother, This was attested to by the
attorney who conveyed the estate, in
trust, to Mark Denham, by the consent
of Richard, lus brother, said estate to
become the exclusive property of Ella
Denham, daughter and only child of
the exile, when she attained her major-
y.
Where Richard had hidden himself
was known to few, il any, save, per-
haps, Mr. DBardour, the attorney.
Whether Ella knew it oould only be
conjectured, bat it was pfesumed she
knew where her father was and had
probably joined lnm. But the cause
of her abrupt departure was a mystery.
It it had not been for the fact that
she and her uncle lived on most amios-

tainly have looked suspicious and in-
clined the neighbors to think that she,
instead of Hurst, had commitied the
