* ONCE.. Onoo! 'TIb a little word, with saddest memo. Pies fraught; It_"njures up the past, and wakLes a train of thought. It has a solema tone, it soundeth like the knell Of all our burled joye--tLhIngs loved, per chance, too well. It tells of childhood's days when all the world seemed fair, Of happy buoyant youth, exultant, free from care; Of friendship's sacred ties, of love's nipt holy light, Of all the bliss that now is sunk in darkist night. Ah me; earth's flowers must fade, though once so fresh and gay; E'en In the Summer't prime night steals upon the day. Green leaves must change and fall, and the shrill Autumn's blast Throw forth a sad lament, o'er Sumnimer glo. ries past. Ah me! like flowers of earth, hope's blossoms fade and die; The day dreams of our youth in the heart's grave's inust lie. Visions of bygone years, of shattered hopes and joys, Ye strew our lonely path like childhood's broken toys. A Legend of the Seneca Indians.

A young and beautiful aiden re siding at Senecl villige, just above the falls, liad been c'niacted in imar riage by her fatiher to an old imlan of disagreeable nianners and hideous person. She at on1ce resolved to stek death rather thani drag out the life of misery whiichi such a un11ion must bring about; and wvith this object in ~ vijew she lanneiclied forl h f romt the vil jI lage in a bark canioe and swept downa the rapids of N iagara sitnginig her own death song until she took tue aw. ful leap. Bu1t death was not ready for her. Blerno, the Thnlder spirit, Iluippenedl to be wide awake;' anid when lie saw her coming down amnong the foam ing waters he coolly caught her in his blanket and convex ed hier to his home behind the falls. Of Coulrse, tihe maiden had romance enough abo ut heri to be gr atefuli for all tis, more esp)ecially when she funnd she was entirely beyond the reach of the mUonster' her "cr'uel pa ri- ent" bad selected to comi ot be. through l ife. Shie fell upopn the neck ~ of' thle Th underer andL wept SWeet tears. The teals sof: cued his sterni heart, and led imi to smo oth back it I not to toy wvith her goldeni tesses. In short, to hurry thirough a long story, they got to bill ing and cuoing~ - they fell ini1 l.vu- they made the in terest inig aitlair known i to eallh ot her; anid tue wVirged 'i(ugh b)e;iunfit mil'li becalo e the wit oft lliern., Thuni;ider spiiit.

'Ilie wound produced was a fatal m,01 and the great monster floated down,the stiremn and lodged uo the verge of the Cataract, stretching iearly from shore to shore. The wift waters were dammed up by the >bstruction; but tmey finally broke hirough the rocks behina, and thins 1he whole top of' the falls u1por wiich the snake rested was precipilated with it into the abyes below, excepts ing a small p)ortion, which is now knownas Goat Island. It almost entirely ruined the home of the Thundorer, for it reduced the great space behind the waters to a very 1arrow compass. ie still oc uupies it ats a sleeping a)artment, how over, and you may now hoar him snoring under there as you stand on the shore; tut if he would exorcise himsolf in his favorito pastimo of throwing thunderbolts ho is forced to Como forth into slpaceo less limited.
