»Tis sad, yot *wcot tollßten,
To the soft wind’s penile swell,
And think we hear tin music
Oar ehlldln'Od knew bo well;
To gaze out on the even.
And the boundless Holds of air,
And feel again our boyhood’s wish
To roam like angels thoro.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past—
And from tho tomb oi feeling
Old fbouphtacomo thronging fast;
Tho forms wo love so dearly
In tho happy days now uone,
Tho beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.

Those bright, and gi-ntlo maidens,
Who seemed so formed for' bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such n world ns this ;
Whoso dark, soft eyes seemed swimming
To a sea of liquid light,.
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O’er brows so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring *lmo of the year,—
Like the changefdl gleams of April,
They followed every tear '
They have pnssed—tlko hypfjs away
Ami their loveliness lias fled; *
Oh, many n heart is mourning
That they aro with the dead.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen with the stem ;
Yet. oh Uls a lovely death
To fade from earth like them!
And yet the thought Is saddening
To muse on hu h as they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing far away;
That the fair ones whomiwo love
Grow to each loving brcai><
Like the londrll of the creeping vino
Then perish where they rest.

A STORY FOB THE TIMES.
‘ All full, air! But I guess you’llman

Mr ‘Stniiit, the. spruce young conduc
tor on .the Central Railway bars, ushered
in a decrepit, anuhUy uitired old man,
who leaned wearily on Ida rdaff, and cur
ried a heavy vuliee in due hand.
The long, dimly lighted cur was full;
every seat was o cup ed, hand-boxes and
carpet-bags were held in their owner’s
laps, and there was ndtu single eh: nee
lor the' new cominer tohe accommodated.
A couple of score of faces Lifted them
-elves to glance at tile old man’s lace, us
he moved slowly and p diifulty down the
narrow aisle. It was painfully evident
that lie hart as much uu be c«-uld do to
support himself, and besides, he looked
like one that wu* just reco.vePii g trom a
severe illiiess—l‘h* cheek was inin a d

There uere many well, active looking,
healthy young men, in the car, but none

eye* aim thought no moreof the Buttering,

in this enlightened century, It is a no
torious fact that the aged meet with

positive unkindness, which would have
nut llie bin bin oum nations of old to shame.

ato il up to let her out. But instead of
milli, ,r the seal wlrieb her escort had oc
cupied, the lady walked straight on until,
she reached the side of the neglected old
gentleman. ... . .
The much of her band on Ins arm drew
bis attention towards her.

. ‘ Thank you! ,\our kindness is well

So saying, the old gentleman sank i to
the vacant seat, with a w 11 gratified ex

Somebody Loves Mr.— I Two or three
years ago, the Superintendent of the Lit
tle Womierers’Home iu Boston received
urequestone morning (rum the Judge that
he w uld come up to the courtroom. He
replied directly, and found there a group
of seven little girls, ragged, dirty, and
toiiorn, heyoud even what ho was accus
tomed to see. The Judge pointed to tlie
utterly homeless und friendless and said:
“ Mr. B-—, can you take any of these?’
“ Certainly, I’ll take them all," was
Uia prompt reply.
*' AM ! What in the world can you do
with them ad ?"
“ I’ll make women out of them."
The Judge singled mil’one even worse
In appearance than tlie rest and asking ?
“ what Oun you do with that one?"
“I’l make u woman of her.” Mr. T
repeated firmly, and hopefully. He took
them.all home. They were washed and
dressed, and provided with a good supper
ami beds. The next morning they went
info the school 'n'nmi w.lh the res* of the
children. Mary was the name of the lit
tle girl whose uhancti lor better things
the Judge thought was sniall.’ During
the forenoon the teacher said to Mr
T—in reference to her, “I never sow
•i child like tiiat; I have tried for an hour
to get a single smile, uiid failed.”
Mr. T said afterwards, himself,
that her face was the saddest he ever
seen, sorrowful beyond expression; vet
she was a little giri—only. five or six
years old.
After school he called her into his of
fice an'd said pleasantly: “Mary, I’ve
lost my pet, I used to have a Utile girl
here that would wait on me and sit on
my knee am! I mved her very much. A
kind lady and gentleman adoped h“raml
she went to live with them, [miss her
and 1 should like you to take her ntacc,
and be my little pet now, will you ?”
A gleam of light lilted over the poor
child's face, as she began to understand
him he gave her ten cents and told her
she might go to a store mar by, and get
some candy. While she was out he t >ok
two or three newspapers, tore them in
pieces, an i scattered them about the
room. When site returned in a lew
miuutes, lie said to her; “Mary, will
you ciear up my office a Ihtle for me;
pick’ up these papers and make it look
real nice.’
She went to work with a will. A lit

would —wrought the desired re>u!t. Sue
WuU I Wasastoniahe* 1. The ohild’s
face was absolutely radient; and half
fearful of some mental wandering,' she
went up to i er and said: “ Mary what is
it? What makes you look so happy?”
“Oh I I’ve got somebody to Jove me,
somebody to love me,” the child power
ed earnestly, as if It were Heaven come
down to earth.
Thut was all the s cret. For want of
love thut little 'one's life had been so cold
and desolate that she had lost childhood’s
beautiful,faith and hope. She could not
at first believe in the reality of kindness
orjov for her. It was this certainty thut
some one loved her, and desired her af

CURIOUS AFFAIR ON Till: AmRONpACKS.
A correspondent of the Montreal Oct'
zeile gives this Interesting aecotiiitof u
wooden railway now in operation ai
Clifton, in Northern New York, near the
Canal line, an l on which immensecpmu
titles of iron ore are transported Irom t ie
Adirondack mines:
“The grading is the saino as for an iron
road, except that slitter gr.ales can* he as
cended. The ties are of the ordinary de
scription, hut arc not squared on any
side, and on the (’lifton n<al are placed
at the usual distance of three feetapuri,
except on tlie trestles, where there are
three ties to every two yards. In future,
however, the engineer proposes to put
the three ties to every two yards, us he
proposes running heavier engines.
The rails are of mupie. six Inches by
four, but in future their shape will be al
tered a little, without increasing the
quantity of timber, making them three
and u-lmlf inches on top by seven inches
deep, so as to be better adapted to the In
creased weight of the engines (fourteen
tons instead of ten.) Notches are cut in
the mund tics to such a depth as to keep
the bottom ol the rail about two Indies
Tom the ground after tlie road is ballast
ed, and the rail projects sufficiently above
the notched tic to a low the fiunge of the
wheel to pass. The rails are fastened to
the ties by a couple of ban! wood we Iges,
driven in opposite directions on ifo** out
side of the rail, within tlie notch. This
has the effect of making tlie whole super
structure one solid* mass without the ad
dition of any spikes or pins.
In making the curves the rail itself is
bent to the required shape, so that there
is no angularity’ whatever in the lines of
rails. The treaties are of the simplest
description. They consist ot two upright
slicks of square timber .immediately
under the rails, let into a transveree stick,
which are brared to the sticks of timber
'aid lengthwise, from one trestle to
another, immediately under the line of
rails, in r ueh direction. Tills is further
supported by a similar stick «• timber at
each side, from \he htud»of the trestle to
the base, in a slanting direction, the
whole ol which is lei into a squared log
at the base. The wooden rail is not a
new invention, hut MK Halbert, the en
gineer, ’.as succeeded iu making it avail
able without using u particle of iron in
the whole s rucluro, and has, moreover,
demonstrated that such railways can be
used for long distances at a moderate
cost, and'this is through a country where
au lr«.n line, as,ordinarily constructed,
would be practically an engineering im
possibility. Mr H.ulburt sa> s that he is
willing to contract to lay the superstruc
ture of a wooden railway of his own im
proved construction at the rule of $1,500,
American currency, a mile, where maple
and hemlock can be obtained at reason
aide rales. Since my visit I have heroine
so convinced of the extreme usefuln as
such lines of railways in developing the
resources of a new country and acting as
IVedeis to the trunk lines, that I have no
hesitation in prophesying that betore
many years we shall find them running
in all directions through the Dominion.

an avenue ol escape would he open for
them, and they could make their way
undisturbed by the hirelings and cut
throats of Brigham Young, from Utah
to the States. They have waited submis
sively, endured the threats and invec
tives o» the bastard leaders of Monnonisin
in Utah, and prayed fervently for the
opportunities which the present railroad
afford. They quietly watched the pro
gress of the road, and their hearts
throbbed with joy up* u the completion,
of every section. They have , been de
nounced from the Brighumile pulpit as
“apostate doge,” and the Duuile assassins
sent on their track, but still they perse
vered, and zealously, though quietly,
adhered to their belief in M**rmoul»iu as
taught by the martyr, Joseph H'ollh, al
though theirHWea were in jeopa-dy for
so believing. The dissenters and apos
tates, we are assured, are by no mentis
few, and it is openly stated that all who
cun rid themselves of what little proper
ty they still possess will flue the Territory
and return to the Suites.
Yesterday a party of dissenters and
apostates, numbering' about forty souls,
all families, under the leadership of M.
Warren Waiting, late President of
the Josephite wing of the Mormon
Church in Salt hake City, arrived at the
depot, opposite the city the greater por
’tlim of them coming from Malad Valley,
and tile balance from Salt Baku City ami
vicinity They chartered a ear from the
company, for which they paid $1,400, and
have provided themselves with' at.l. the
necessaries required on the trip. They
piirpose.,seltliug in Nebraska, on the
MisaonrTrivAr, near, Omaha. From per
■sonal acquaintance with Mr. Walling
and several others of .the parly, we can
safely say that they will, make good,
lionesi and indu-trioua citizens in Nes

their peculiar religion..
Tills, we believe, is the first party of

But an alarm ng Interruption was threat
ened by the illness of the novelist. Hlh
malady—cramp oi the stomach, wlin
jnundfce—was attended with exquisite
pain ; but in the intervals of compira
live ease his literary labors were contin
ued ; and it certainly is
fact in ll emry history that under such
uireiitnKianetis tlie greater part of the
Bride of the whole of tiie
Legend of Montrose, and almost. tiie
wliole of Ivanhoc were produced. The
novelist lay on a sofa, dictating to John
Bulluntyno or to Laidlaw, chiefly to tiie
latter, as he was always at hand, where
as Balhuityne was only an occasional
visitor to Abbotsford, Sometimes in Ins
humorous or elevated scenes, Scott
would break off* with a groan of torture,
us the cramp seized him, hut when the
visitation hud passed, ho was ever ready
gayly to take up the broken thread of his
narrative and proceed cw rente c.atamo. —
It. was evident to Laidlaw that before he
arrived at Abbotsford (generally about 10
o'clock,) the novelist had ananged tiie
scenes tor the day, and settled in his
mind tiie course,of the narrative. The
language was left to the Inspiration of the
monuo-t ; there was no picking of words,
no studied curiona jedeffas of expression.
Even the imagery seemed spontaneous.
Laidlaw abjured with some warmth
the dd-wiie exclamations which Lockr
hart asceihed to him—as 11 Guide keep us
a”—the like o’ that”—“eh, 6lrs! eh,
sirs!” But lie admitted that while he
held the pen ho <tas so deeply interested
in the seen** or in the development of
tiie plot, that he could not help exclaim
ing, “Get on, Mr. .Scott, get bn !” on
which the novelist would reply smiling.
“Softly, Willie; you know I have to
make the story,” or some good-humored
remark of a similar purport. It was quite
true, lie said, that when dictating some
of tiie animated scenes am) dialogues of
Ivanhoc , Scott would rise from his seat
and act the scene with every suitable ac
companiment of tone, jesture ami man
ner, 'Both the military and dramatic
spirt were strong in liim—too strong

Jo sir Hillings on Strawberries,
The strawberry iz one uv natitr’s sweet
nets. Bue makes them worth fifty cents,

The culler uv iho strawberry iz like
tile setting sun under a tliiu cloud, with
a delicate dash uv the ruin ho in it; its
fragrance iz like the breath uv a baby
When it furst begins to eat wiutergreon

Coincidences In (ho Life of the'"Wapo-?M'
; ■ Jeon*. - -- - '4>j
The first Napoleon was in his fbrty-;:)Jj
fifth year when ce'lost the
throne. The third Napoleon was at the £
saiue period of Jfte (forty-flva) when he .•] ,
gained it. Napoftou I was.flrowneJ on ; ;
li'O 2d day of Becepiber, 1804,* On the V
same day of the month Napoleon 111 was
crowned,in 1852. Napoleon 111 had been
exiled lorayear,and Imprisoned for nearly 1
sixyearsattheFortressHam. Alterheloat
the crown, Napoleon I had an exile of u
year at Elbe, and Imprisonment of six
years on the rock of St. Helena. Count
Moutliolon, an intimate friend of the first
Emperor, who endured the six years im- |
prisoument at St. Helena with him,
spent also.hla time in captivity with the '
six year prisoner at Hum, Napoleon Iff.
The first Napoleon was four years
Consul of France—in fact, was elected
for ten years—-before he vyas Emperor.— \
The thiid Napoleon was entering the.
fourth year of his presidency of^the Re
public—had been elected foy lep years— I
when 100 Imperial scepter dropped Into
his hand. The first Napoleon started for :
rit. Helena on the 9th of August, 1815. {
Just one' quarter of a century after that, f
in, 1840, on the 9th of August, the gates ’
of his prison at Ham first ringed'upon his
decemiant.' The elder Napoleon com
menced his career of prosperity in 1790,
when he assumed the command of the
army of Italy. -Just one »•. * century
after that period, lirlB4f>, i.ie third Na
fudeon escaped from his Imprisonment
u Ham and bevau his wonderful success
es, which did not end uiitil be mounted
the throne of France. .
Napoleon I had but one child by his .
marriage, and that was a eon. Thatcon
stltures exactly the family of the third
Napoleon.
By a curious coincidence, the -birth of
the Emure-s Eugenie wan on the GO of
May, which was the anniversary of the
desrh of the old Emperor. She seemed
destined by fortune to p u rpetuate the dy
nasty from the very period Its founder
hud deceased.
Napoleon I was a second son of his
lather. Napoleon lll—exuhidlngaohild
who died in infancy—sustained the B"me
relation to Ms father, of those who gain- J .
ed maturity.
One of the first acts of the Emperor
Napoleon I, after his. accession to the. ,
tlmmeV was to take opthmpud of the • ;
army in Northern Fran rot* at Boulogne,! I j
and to discipline it for’lha't wfiliderfulf \
campaign against Uie Rus-Tansand Ans-- '/
trians, wnich cloned at Ausrerlitz. Na-i I
poleon 111 had hardly.becatue.Kmperor' |

and there superintended ond commanded
foi months tiie troops who were to em- 1 !
bark for Sebastopol, in the war then pro
gressing against Russia. •’
These coincidents may be accidents, [
but they are certainly accidents', of an f
extraordinary character-accidents that
are too many f *r an easy explanation.
There Is much similarity between the
Napoleons and the Ctesars. The first |
Napoleon played a part In the world’s |
history strongly resembling-that of the J
great Julius Cte-nr was succeeded hy his
nephew Augustus; and Napoleon I has,
us his representative, his nephew Louis,
was a man of craft rather-than « man of
war. His first remark was that “Tem
ple of Janus was shut.” which in the
Homan practice signified peace. The
third Napoleon remarked, early in his
reign, that “the Empire was peace ”
Bo close.ls the analogy between these
Roman Emperors, who returned before
Christ and their French successors of.
eighteen hundred years after, that when
Louis Napoleon’s Life of Caesar appear
ed hardly a point in it was hot supposed
to bear intimate relatlonto hla own fami
ly, and that U was only -necessary U>
