POETRY.
VJTO'LET GLjEN.
Thc stars arc shining brightly
Through, the light clouds wavy sheen.
But my heart beats not so lightly,
As in da*ys"bygone I ween ;
For I'm thinking of those happy days**--,
I ne'er may know again ;
When I wandered _teath the moon's bright
ravs,
Li-far-off Violet Glen..

An.l watched thc sunset's dying glow

And heaven—Violet Glen.
My childhood's home is very dear,
Xo spot ou earth more fair,
But oft I quell the rising tear.
At thoughts no heart may share,
And strive to banish all regret
For one I worshipped then ;
llut never car. I quite forget
The loved of Violet Gle.i.
Ours is a world of change at best,
And partings come lo all;
Ami sometimes we are trull- blest,
When shadows o'er ui fall.
If grief had never been my lot,
Mine were a silent pen,
But clouds that sunshine brightens not,
Rests now on Violet Glen.

accident of the tux being collected in this Port'makes
nothing in our opinion in favor of New Tariff. There
are several Mercantile firms, both North and West]

who are large importers, not only ofthe articles uponj

Accounts recently received from some of ths outports speak somewhat discouiagingly of the fishery
in those quarters. From Trinity we learn that, comparatively speaking, nothing ut all was doing in the
fishery. At first the fish was taken very plentifully

put into requisition, but owing to heavy weather upon
the shore, it was found impossible to use them. Both
fish and bait, so far as we can learn, appear to bejtruth.
