WHAT IS LITE? A LITTLE crib beside the bed,

A little face above thee spread, A little frock-behind the door,

A little shoe upon the floor.

A little led with dark-brown hair,

A little blue-eyed facs, and fair,

A little line that leads to school,

A little pencil, slate, and rule.

A little blithesome, winsome maid,

A little hand within bis laid;

A little cottage, aeros four,

A Hittle old-time household store.

A little family gathered round

A little turf-heaped, tear-dowed mound ;.

A little added to his soil;

A little rest from hardest toïl.

A little, silver in his hair,

A little stool and easy chair,

A little night of earth-lit gloom,

A little cortege to the tomb. -American Writer.

THE CHILD-VIOLINIST. Ho had played for his lordship's leveo, He bad played for her ladyship's whim, Till the poor little head was heavy And the poor little brain would swim. And the face grew peaked and earis, And the large eyes strange and bright, And they said too lato" He is weary! He shall rest for, at least, to-night!" But at dawn, when the birds were waking, As they watched in the sllent room,

With the sound of a strained cord breaking, A something snapped in the gloom. 'Twas a string of his violoncello,

And they heard him stir in his bed: "Make room for a tired little fellow, Kind God 1"--was the last that he said,

THE "DOUGLAS" TRAGEDY.

(Cooktown Courier, Feb. 26.). Tie Blackbird, steamer, on her arrival last Saturday, brought three wounded men named Deasy, Purcell, and Shaw, the stoward, acting mate, and part of the crew of the schooner Douglas, who, tell a tale which can hardly be paralleled in the history

of the settlement of the North.

The Douglas, Capt. Harris, is a schooner belonging to Messrs. F. E. Beaver and Co., of Melbourne, and arrived in the beginning of January last at Cairns, bringing a cargo for that place, and having on board one of the firm. After discharging she sailed for a small island called Chilcot, lying about 240 miles, due east of Cairns, on which are guano deposits worked by the firm. In order to obtain a favorable wind, the schooner made her way buok as for us Flinders Passage, anchoring for a short time under Dunk Island, near Cardwell. While lying there two aboriginals came off in a conce, and after some hesitation came on board. They were given pipes, tobacco, &c., made to understand that they were wanted to go with the vessel, and told that more were wanted. Accordingly they left in their canoe and returned with two more, who were willing to go, but the captain, not liking the looks of one, refined to take him, aud sailed away with the three mon It is as well to mention here that the captain says he has a permit to engage natives as laborers, and the blacks were wanted to screen the

guano,

Nothing worthy of note occurred on the voyage, and the Douglas arrived at Chilcot on the 5th February. This is a small island about a mile and a half long by a mile brond, frequented by myriads of sea birds who form the gunno deposits, but containing no water. Another islet lies at a few miles distance, but no other land is in sight. A hut had been built on Chilent furnished

rangements made for the regular working the deposits. When the Douglas arrived, the Alexandra, brig, was lying there half that he had not enough colored labor to loaded with guano, and Mr. Beaver, finding sareen the guano quickly, determined to sail by the Alexandra for the Dairtree River and fill up there with cedar. Accordingly on the morning of the 15th the Alesandra sailed, but before going most of the arms on the Douglas were transferred to her, the blasks observing the transfer.

Postmasters are not bound to give change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question as to its right amount, goodness or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter.
