" They; made ln-r a grave too cold and damp
For. a soul so warm and true ;
And' she'si ime io the L ike of the Dismal Swamp,
Where ja-ll niht lon', by a tire-lly lump,
She paddles her white canoe.
And heir fire-fly lamp I sown shall see,
And her paddle I soon shall hear ;
Long alid loving our lite shall be,
And I'-l hide ihe maid in a cypress tree,

Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds
His pa rib was runted and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds,
Through many a fen where the serpent feeds,
And mail never trod be tore.

And when on the eafth he sank to sleep,
If slumber his eyelids knew,
He layj where the deadly vine doth weep
lis venomous-tear, and niahtly steep
The lli'iih with blistering dew.
And near. him the she-wolf stirred the brake,
And thje copper snake breathed in his ear,
Till 1wistar?ing cried, from his dream awake,
" Oh! when shall I see the dusky Lake,
And tlwi white canoe of my dear ?"
He saw' the Lake, and a meteor bright
Q uii !; Over its surface played
" Welcome," he said, " my dear one's light !"'
And thfe dim shore echoed, for many a night,
The name of the death cold maid !
Till he! hollowed a hont of the birchen bark,
W'hich.cai ried him oil' from shore ;
For lie1 followed the meteor spark.
The wnd was hi;r!i and the clouds were dark
And the boat returned no more.
But oft; from the Indian hunter's camp
This loyer and maid so true
Are rt'fn, at the hour of midnight damp,
To c'ri'Ss the Lake with a tire-tiy lamp,
And paddle their white canoe !

But Paris although an ancient, is also a mo.

middle ages arises the. magniticent dome of the
piesent cenlurv. The. same view that looks
upon th1 time worn monument -dedicated to its
earlier King, looks also on the triumphal arch
erected to grati'ly lie ambition of Napoleon,

one of tin- main spt'mgs which directed every
inovement of the insurgent party. Naturally
iinbued with a loftiness of purpose, he " knew
his rights, and knowing dared maintain them."
IJeeply prejtidiced, by contact, with the arro
gance of royally, he was ever ready and anx

vations. His actions were not prompted by a
cold, sordid, calculating s-pirit of ultimate 'per
sonal advantage -rather, by that pure, disinter
ested, active philanthropy which would sacii
fre sellish considerations upon the insulted ul
tar of the common "good. He kindled with his
own hands the devouring element that was to
