r I t ?-. Jh l UNRETURNING. Vkno things aever come again: 8aow may vanish (rem the plain. Blossoms from ths dewy sod. Verdure from taw broken clod. Water froia the river's bed. Forests from the mountain's bead, Night may brighten into day. Noon In midnight fad away. Yet the snow shell ccmo once mora When the winter tempests roar. Blossoms each rcturetnj spring In her laden arm3 shall bring, Qrcss h? crecn irho o ii'ousharcs run, R.tctj fla-,h in autumn's sun. T mo shall bid the f.irsbts grow. Noon and inidnigu t itmt and go; But though all thy soul complain. Three things, bll not coma again. Never to the bow thut bends Comes the arrow that it sends; Spent in &pacc, its airy flight Vcsiihcs like lost delight. When iv.th rapid elm it sprang From the bovstring'j shivering twang Straight to brain or heart it Ced, Ono i for nil itsoarac was sped. No w:ld iva-.l ur)on its track Brings the barb of vengeance back. Bold thy hand before lto; Pause beside the bended bow; Hurtled onoc across the plain. No spent arrow come again. Never comes the change that passed! That one moment was its last. Though thy life upon it hnng. Though thy death beneath it swung If thy future ell tho way Now In darkucs gees astray. When the instant born of fate Passes through tho golden gate; When the hour, but not the man, Comes and goes from Nature's plan; Nevermore its countenance Beams upon thy slow advance. Never more that time shall be Burden hearer unto thec Weep r.nd search o'er land and main, Lost cliasce ne er oonies again. Never shall thy !nola word Ee r.rn a unsaid, unheard, Wt-:i its t.or:i in utterance wrought.

Great consternation reigned in the kitchen fllie farm-house on that beautiful morn ing, for news of the American defeat had Ost reached there. Joel Ashley, the boy BTbo had brought the news, just now added fwhistaie: "And do you know that they I. fjrir.g to the different farm-houses, 4e8nliEg shelter and food. I shouldn't wonder bit but what they would soon be fcerc," ho added, comfortingly. 'Tho nasty varmints, not a rest or a mor sel of food will they gut here, and If they leraand it, why, they will find out' with Whom thsy iiavc to deal," and certainly Mis tress Dorethy loolicd fierce enough to mako (he bravest lieurt quail as she stood with 4ma hand upraised, as if to strike the foe frith a large iron spoon which she held, and lie other hand placed defiantly on her hip. "Sh! sh!" murmured the old man, if thine enemy hunger " " Now, father, you just keep quiet; there's io uso in quotin' Scriptur' to me, when I know them Britishers arc comin';yoknow if 'f n-ant fur vr.nr blindness ami mv hein a m VHW mmmj w woman, there would be two of the best sol diers iu tea Continental army as they would want." Jest then was heard the patter of tiny reet, and tho door ives burst epen, admitting a little girl, followed by a young woman. The Tories have beaten!"' exclaimed Miss Darothy. "2CoP the young woman answered, la surprise. 'Bnt I say that they have, and, what's more, they'll probably como here and ask fforlodgin' and food. I'll giro it to'ea food for thought" And distress Dorothy bustled around sotting breakfast on too table. utV.ll amlM' tni nil Pntiv TDiitmmlia could find to say, but sho finally exclaimed! 'Mother, If yon rot as them admission they tnar seize the property and fire tae house." That's so," the aid woman said, musing ly. "I suppose if it osacstothe worst we'll tier to let them ia. Breakfast is ready; cove, father." They bad bo seoaer sat down when a fenoek was heard at the door. The two wonen looked at each other, and the old man's lips were just framed to say: "Coma I in," whan his Wilis said: "No, yon don't, fa ther: mneet'em."Dut tno younger wom an was era faieker, aad the dame sat down an her chair.

Her daugutcr-iu-law, noticing theso glances, stopped behind her and whispered: "Not so fierce, mother, not so fierce, or thevwill surely suspect something."

Mistress Patty felt a stir of sympathy in her heart, for the younger man reminded her so vivid ly of her husbaud,who was so bravely fight ing in the true cause: iu fact, littlo Dorothy went up to him, laid hor dimpled hand on his knee, looking trustfully up in the hand some face bent over ber, and said: "Papa."

"I don't suppose you want any thing more!" she suddenly said, when the table was al most cleared. "No, we have bad sufficient, thanks to your kindness," courteously replied tho older man. " Tain't no thanks to m .it. nil." sh r. turned, tartly, 'you're soldiers, so I had to SOIV "What an exceedingly curious cream cup," exclaimed the younger man, taking the curioas piece of workmanship up and examining it, with the air of a connois seur. That was the last drop in Mistress Dorothy's cup of bitterness which was al ready overflowing. She had let them enter her house, given tnem their breakfast, and now, after allowing them all these liberties, always under protest, that they would now begin to confiscate her DmmrhrvM tM much; she snatched the cream cup out of the astonished man's hands, and began ex citedly: "You'd better go now, you'd better go, you've had your breakfast and a little rest, and at this time o' day visitors ain't wbuicu rounu tuo iarin." "But, my dear ciadaui." the young man broke in, "I assure you 1 meant no harm, and really my friend au J I need a rest so badly that we ere afraid vc must tres pass on your hospitality," hero a faint smile crossed the young man's face, "a little longer; give us but a bed to rest our weary limbs a little whita and thn ?m depart." Dame Dorothv looked at th vnnm men sternly. "In my days, young man, when folks told us wo wan't wanted we got out." But, madam," the older man interposed, "circumstances alter cases, remember that these arc strango days, aad strange things happen in them; but by the war, madam, are you a Tory or a rebel f " "'Taint none of your business," was tho uncompromising reply. "Well, will you allow us a bed!" he asked. "I think it's time you was astartin'," was the laconic answer. "Then since it becomes a necessity I de mand it in the name of" Horn uimvthini. seemed to choke him, for he seemed unable to go on. "Well, if I must I suppose I must, but if ever I wished a feather bed was filled with ino needles, I wish that thar one was," and with that she opened a door disclosing a comfortable bed-room. Thev silonttw n. tered tho room, and she, with a baag of tho uoor, ncu to tao laichcn. "There, I've gone and done it," sho said, in l.teh wrath, "I've harbored two British soldiers under my roof, and if any body ought to bo taken be fore General Washington and convicted as a spy I feel like that one. Joel Ashler," sho said, suddenly, turaisg to the boy who was the solo occupant of the room and who was gazing at her in bewilderment, " I've got an errand for you." Ycs'm," he said, meekly enough. Joel wan always meek wncn the mauam was in such a wrath. "Yon know whero tho Continentals are stationed about ten inikM rr.ru im it" t Joel nodded. Well, you jast stir yourself Arul avrr thorn inil tr.il '-:.. ..j.. , o -- w. mu i.. kVfci tjiiiaiiucr ! there are two redcoats in this boas and if they want them to come Icr thorn right away, ngm away, mma you: row hurrv." And Joel did hurry. Madam sat roaking hers-lf violently tc and fro. "There vou'vo -i.-c .-.ml ?nn on. ! other mean thing," alio "al to h?.-sa!f, an grily, "Doin'ameantbJag is jist liko tU- j in' a he, you do ono and yoa'U .- ..r-My do an other; I guess I'll jubt peck in the room j and seo if they've set it aiiro yet." 8ho i tiptoed across tho ball and looked through a cm; id me aoor, tnsn ocr consoeace smote hor worso than ever; carelessly ly ing on the bed, his fair, bandsoao faee looking so worn and thin even in eleep,he re minded her also of her oo!dir boy. The older man was wearily writing at a table, resting every onco in tho while, but soon re suming his task. "I'm a mean old woman," she solilo quized. "But-thoy'ro Britishers." That settled the question, and rhc returned to her work.
