that, if his brother had reached Wash

rible fate at the hands of the mob, and

with a rifle ball, averted this possibility.
ARROVAND SONG.
(Long fellow.)
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where ;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke ;
ThOe for the song, from beginning to end,
I found it again in the heart of a friend.
