⠀⠀ THE SISTER'S DREAM.
A brother whom I love no well,
Long years was lost, and I grew sad j- The truth of him, I gladly tell
He was the purest joy 1 had. And oft I wondered what his fate
Might be in some lune distant land: In sorrow I was doomed to waity.
To grasp once more-his loving band. One midnight, wearied with despair,
*I slept, and dreamed of him alone--- Of every danger I would dare
To see him once again-my own! I murmured, Come, oli! come to me!
Why hast then left me here to pine } No other form I e'er can sce
So dear, so idolised, as thine."
I heard a volee with silvery tone,
Exclaim," Behold, thy brothor's near; Look, maiden is he not thine own?
"Tis hottie he! and hastening here!? The voice was bushed: my dream was o'er, As daylight dawned cloud-like it died; I wake-1 daw, and clasped once more,

There is a pretty little grand stand of two stories, provided with shoirs and other seats; on the ground floor the weighing is carried out, and notices, declarations, &c., are there made. No bar or other abomination of the sort is attached to it. If anybody wants a drink-and they be thirsty souls here, as elsewhere--he goes to some one's tent and gets it. Lower down on the course, outside the enclosure, are other stands and booths for the general populace.
The races occupied three days, 24th to 26th February. For some weaks previous to this time the course was the great resort in the early morning for owners, riders, spectators, &c.; and a nice little outing it was, only feeling rather cold towards the end of the training time,.

NEIGHBOURS.
(Liberal Reviews.) S It is one of the recessities of life in these modern times that people shall not live alone, It is well, therefore, to accept the inevitable and be amiable even under trying airoum- stances. No doubt, one's immediate neigh hours are not always exactly what one would like them to he; but it is certain that if they are treated properly, rather than aggravated, they are not nearly so bad as first appear ances indicate. The truth appears to be that a large proportion of those people whose homes stand side by side seem to have an unfortunate talent for misunderstanding each other and so are led to adopt offensive attitudes. Thus it happens that while every body who knows Robinson and his family intimately are fond of sounding their praises, Smith, who resides next door to Robinson, has nothing but condemnation to bestow upon the much-lielauded individual and bis bs- lougings. Smith, too, may be the recipient of many flattering encomiums from his associates, yet it is certain that Robinson can find nothing to say in his favour. The truth may be that both Robinson and Smith are thoroughly well-meaning follows at bottom, and that their little tribes are up to a fait average of excellence, but it is certain that in nine oases out of ten Robinson has no cause to think well of Smith nor Smith to becoms devotedly attached to Robinson. The chances are that the pair, though they meet on an average at least once a day and can at times hear the hum of voices through the walls which divide their respective tenements, fail to display any mark of recognition when they are brought face to face with each other. Bobinson ovidently feels that he is bound, in justice to himself, to ignore Smith, while Smithe assured that he would deservedly Great interest on the second day was forfeit his self-respect if he were to show attached to the race for the "Gorgian Cup, that he is alive to the fact that the world is

RULES FOR BANK CUSTOMERS. The annexed rules are recommended by an American paper to the attention of those who do business at the banks. À great deal of time and annoyance may be saved-by not following them :—
Rulo If you bave any business with a bank, put it off until 8 o'clock, or, if possible, a little lator, as-it-looks more business-like to rush in as the bank is closing.
Rule 2-Never put stamps on your cheques before you get to the bank, but give the cashier two cents, and ask him to lick it and cancel it for you; the cashier expects to lick all the stamps, and it is a source of disappointment to him when people insist on doing it themselves, and will save him buying his lunch.
Rule 3.--In depositing money, try to get it upside down and wrong end foremost, so that the cashier may have a little exercise in straightening it up before counting it.
Rule 4-It is best not to take your bank book with you, but call at another time. and have it entered. You can thus make two trips to the bank where one would answer.
[No. 4053,—June 24, 1876;
