It was nightfall in the city,
There was silence on the street,
alai anon the sound of sobbing,
And the tmad of hurried feet;
Sluggish wings of mist were stirring
Through the pestilential air,
A.nd.the meek cross bearers perished
Fri= their sacrifice and prayer. '
the dull and hissy. twilight .
Lay a boy of tender years,
Where the scourge was knocking hourly
For its dole of death and tears;
andlie felled hfapalid mother -
Through the shadows to his side,
While his lace was like a vision.
trf the tams glorified.
•2Lave 'had a dream," he whispered
"Just the snitingesi Mit could be—
That Lehouldn't die like
Neil tuiddl but yitu and rue;
' 4 For 1 &tailed= angel stratchmtm,,
Willi 11'68 . 111110 soft anti White,
Walked through ailino streets at midnight
Mamma; will - bit Came tamightl"
Then the wan and weary mother
Hushed her child to quiet sleep,
With a solemn - wonder dawning
Of the watch the angels keep;
And she listened as one listens
To the music of a bell;
Thmugh the rushing of the river
-To watchman's cry, 'till's well!"
It was morning, and the people,
In the hushed and reverent air,
Bowed to earth in silent rapture—
Touched the sign of healing there.
For the Angel of tho City
Over every threshold crossed,
With a silver veil of moonlight,
And the footsteps of Cho frost.

The Ventriloquist on the Deck.
Quite an exciting time, says a reporter
of the Cleveland Hemld, occurred at one
of our wharvfa recently. ,
The liana of one cif our steamers were
engaged in rolling off a cask, when to the
surprise and consternation of the persons
performing that operation, a voice was
heard in• ide the atsk.

"That Seats Dickens!"
The mate. coming up at this moment,
and unaware: of the panic of delay, emu
mowed scolding them for their dilatori
ness, when from within thecask the voice
came forth : , •
nobody i , Met me out: of this

‘'What's That?".said the-mate.
-"Why, it's me," Euid the voice. "I min . t
to get out; I won't stana this'any longer.'

',Upend the &ask," said the mate.
"No, don't,' you'll kiil me;" said the
voice. "0, limv these nails prick ! Look
out—don't!" again said the casked-up in
dividtial. as the men were turning it over.
"U roper," said the mate, "uulanal that
casivantl take out that man."
As the adze sundered the hoops, and
the head was coniing out, the voice aguill
broke forth :
"Ile easy, now ; is there any one about?
I don't wan't to be caught."
Quite a crowd had gathered round no.

laugh tiroke, forth, which made our

'"Boy, may I inquire where Robinson's

"Certainly, sir," replied the boy, very
respectfully.
"Well, sir," said the gentleman, after
sailing awhile, "where is it?"
"I have not the slightest idea, yer hon-

There was another boy who was accosted
by an ascentic middle aged lady with.
