Tho Tompest.
11 1 HAVEN,
The Tempest comes with vengeance dire,
Wrilten on lls angry brow,
It threatens In itsdieadful Ire,
Creation's final overthrow.
Its chariot Is the moving cloud,
YVhoso vapors still coudenslng moro,
Its music Is the thunders louJ,
And red-winged heralds go before.
The whirlwinds, res 1 1 re to begin,
Are harnessed to the vapory car,
With thunder-bolls are couple! lu,
They snuff destruction from afar.
On moves the fearful retinue,
Triumphing In Its mad cruet r,
All recking In Its prldo to show
Supremo contempt for all that's dear.
At lis approach tho mountain qunkes,
Tho waters leap to pass their bound,
All nature to the danger wakes.
As debolatlon moves around.
Hut, far above tho raging st orm,
Enveloped In creation's mist,
God cheeks the lightnings with His arm,
And holds the whirlwinds lu Ills list.
With tightened rein, he bids them go
'Till the appointed work Is done,
"I've nothing more for you to do,
My servants all, from hence begone."
He speaks, nnd whirlwinds cense their howl,
Astonlshod lightnings fear to piny.
The thunders hush their angry growl,
And misty vapors flco away.
The Sun throws down his gulden rays,
The ground drinks lu tho ueedeJralu,
And with a song of grateful praise,
The caith triumphant, smiles again.
Tho Old Gavrot.
I rcmomber It well, that bare old room
Inn homestead far away,
Where many a happy hour I've passed
On a rainy summer day.
Iu ono corner stood the old spinning wheel,
Across It the band was laid ;
I remember well, 'twas my childhood's dread ,
Such a "terrlblo" nolso It made.
Uesldo II, the "lltllo wheel," on which
My mother the linen spun ;
At thoughts of her, tho tear-drops start,
For her earthly work Is done 1
Some empty bottles 'ay under tho caves,
Vi nose mouths wcio gathering rust,
And a spider's web spun across a book,
Whoso edges were coveiol w Ith dust.
On tho old dark roof were bags of herbs,
soino also hung by a suing,
While out by tho chimney were loops or corn,
A nd a mammoth turkey's wing,
I've sat in that old west window seat,
And watched the driving rain,
Admiring tho miniature rivers, which
Itan down on the window-pane.
I've often taken my school. books (here,
And studied my lesson o'er:
So quiet, a i.iouso would como out of Ids holo
And run lightly acio-s tho floor.
I wonder If I ever again will know
Any hours as happy as those
When hupes were pure, nnd life was bright,
And never n cloud arose !
Como Sit by My Sido, Littlo Darling.
Como sit by my side, little darling,
And lay your brown head on my breast.
While tho angels of twilight around us
Aro singing tho (lowers to rest.
Y'our hands nro as lalras tho lilies
That blossom lu shadows of green ;
And their touch has n magical power
My heart from nil sadness to wean.
I dream when your arms nro nround me
That life Is mi infinite calm;
Y'our kiss has tho spell of u charmer
Y'our kiss that Is sweeter than balm.
Oh t what could bo sweeter than dreaming
This dream that is on us to-night?
Let us think of tho present, lay darling.
The future Is out of our sight.
Sing low lu the twilight some ballad
As sweet as the smile on your face,
That shall thrill me with melody's sweetucsx,
Afid touch with Its woids' tender grnco.
And I'll give you a kiss when It's cuded,
A kiss that the singer shall earn;
And pel haps do ou hear, littlo darllug?
I shall ask for a kiss In return.

SETH HATHRON'S FOURTH,
I always yv.is a black-browctl, broad-
sliouldcred brute of a follow, always,
from a boy.
At school, (not that I had much of
that sort of thing,) but at school, if Miss
P?SSy found out any mischief, alio laid
it to my scoro becauso of my looks,
when often nnd often, when I was
holding out my hand to bo rulered, tho
prettiest boy in tho school Yvas grinning
over hU good luck in getting offsosafo-
ly. Sho had her preconceived notions
of a villain, I presume, and I answered
tho description.
For tho matter of that,ofall tho books
ami stories I'vo read since, especially
thoso written by ladies, I'vo noticed
thero isn't ono whero tho burglar, or
forger, or pirato, or what not, who does
all tho wickedness of tho book, as
though ho's taken it on contract,
wouldn't do for mo on n passport,whllo
their pets, who do tho grand nnd noblo
things, tiro generally slender, nnd fair,
and pretty. Now, tho worat wrotch I
ever Faw, ono who was afterwards hung
and who deserved hanging richly, oven
on his own showing, had bluo eyes,
whllo laahes, and a pink mouth, likou
gill's.
I never was a f.worlto with any wo
man but my mother, and sho died
when I was eight years old. So, instead
of growing up with tho idea that most
men have, that every girl thoy mcect
U ready to fall In lovo with them, I nev
er had tho slightest liopo that any ono
would over llko mo woll enough to let
mo fall In lovo with her oven. And I
liked gltls so. It was odd for n fellow
like nit', but how I did lileo tho girls I
1 could never bear to seo ono cry, or
to hear of their being imposed upon or
hurt. I couldn't pass ono with a heavy
banket or btiudlo without nt least want
ing to oiler to carry It for her. I nover
could bring myself to sit in stages or
cars when ono was standing.
Something as a man might havo felt
Just in sight of tho nugtls, who wero
too much nbovo Iilm to bo spoken to or
touched, I felt about all girls. That Is
good, puro girls. Whou ft Yvoniau was
Intoxicated, or In any way debacd,sho
nover seemed a woman to mo, but a
dreadful sart of creature, all tho worso
for having somethlns of thoprotty wo
manly look about hor.
I was tho maker of flro-works, na my
father had becii beforo mo, I don't
know that I liked tho business purlieu
larly, but thero I was and there I staid.
I mado good wages, and I saved them,
fori didn't think enough about my
looks to dross much, nnd nover drank.
"Sulky," tho other men called mo.
What of that? It was hotter to be sul
ky than r.ivlng mnd.ns some of them
were, so surely ni Saturday nlgnt canio
round. Mon with nice, good looking
wives, too, whoso children wnutcd for
bread and shoes what thoy spent In
drink. I nover expected lo havo a wlfo
and children, but knew how they ought
to bo used better than they did.
I supposo I had como to bo twonty
elght or so, nnd 110 girl had over looked
at me, except as sho might nt a tarnish
polar bear, when, ono "day, old Mr. Wil
liams, tho proprietor of the place, came
to mo ns I was going homo to dinner,
und said in his own quick way :
"Hnthron, can youdtlvoV"
"Yes, sir," said I.
"I want you to take tho wagon nnd
go over to tho railroad depot nt Bald
win, and bring down .1 now hand nnd
her traps," ho said.
"She'll bo thereabout half past twelvo
so you'll hnvo barely time to get a bite
and goj nnd you can havo tho rest of
tho day to yourself, if you llko, as
It's Saturday. Her name is Annie
May.

meant I must tell you thnt our placo

employed somo fivc-nnd-twenty girls,
and that thoy generally camo from a
distance, and boarded whilo they staid,
with au old woman closo by, nil in ono
place, to keep them out of harm's way.
Mr. Williams insisted on that, and a
lot of rules about the hours they wero
10 keep, and tho way they wero to be
have; good rules and not so rigid but
that there was plenty of innocent court
ing, and moro than 0110 wedding in a
season. As for us men, we went whero
wo chose. Somo put up at tho tavern,
somo witli pcoplo who would tako a
few boarders, and thoso who lived in
tho place, with their families. There
wero very fow girls who had homes
thero lo go to; for tho village was an
uppish kind of place, full of country
scats nnd villas, nud the factory stood
all alono by itself, tjulto a distanco
uwity, and tho tavern and tho few com
mon hou-.es were grouped closo about
it, as if others wero too genteel to mix
with then). So Mrs, Munson's placo
was always full.
It was it day to tempt a man out a
beautiful spring day, with tender green
grass on the earth and tender pink buds
011 the branches, and in the sky thero
wero only two or three tlcccy bits of
clouds, llko carded yvooI, amidst the
blueness. It look only half an hour to
get to Baldwin.
Tho train hud got in, nnd there wero
people waiting in tho littlu Iioiiso nt tho
depot a couple of stout old ladies, a
gentleman who looked llko a minister,
and n young woman. 1 looked at her
and mado up my niind she couldn't bo
tho now hand, not because M10 was more
dressed than they usually were, but be
cause sho wasn't dres-scd half so much.
Generally they had ou their brightest
gown,aud big beads mound thoirnecks,
and roses enough in their bonnets to till
n garden. This girl was all in gray nnd
wore a veil to match. Tho things Yvcro
cheap and not new, but they mndo her
look llko a lady. I walked up and
down and waited. Tho fat woman went
away in a wagon; the clergyman had a
gig sent for him, and thero tho girl sat
beside her trunk, looking now nud ihen
out of tho window and beginning to
seem anxious. I took off my hat and
stepped up with a bow.
"I beg your pardon, Miss," said I,
"but has thero been nnybody hero ask
ing about being taken to Mr. Williams'
placo?"
"I want to go thero myself," sho an
swered, "that is, if you mean tho lire-
work factory. I'm Annie May."
"I do mean tho flro-work factory," I
said. "Mr. Seth Hathron. ono of tho
hands. Tho wagon is outside; will you
get in '' Wait a bit; I'll put the trunk
in first."
"Shan't I help you V" sho said, and
sho put her littlo hand ou tho haudlo
nearest her. It looked so small I burst
out laughing.
"1 don't need any help," said I, but I
thought I could carry both tho trunk
and Its owner together, if I choso and
sho'd let mo. Sho was tho smallest
creattiro to bo a full grown woman that
I over saw.
After I had helped her In and had ta
ken tho rein3 In my hands, I kept steal
ing looks nt her, nnd thinking how
beautiful sho was; and I tried to talk
about things that would please hcr,nnd
felt that, bright ns tho day had been be
fore, it was somehow n great deal
brighter with her be?Ido mo.
Wo stopped at Mrs. Monson's and
said good-byo. I carried her trunk Into
tho hall, and called tho old lady, and
drovo tho horso back to tho stables.
Then, having a holiday, I got a news
paper and went out Into tho woods,
Baldwin's woods thoy called them, nnd
I think I know every tree by heart.
Somehow I felt lonesomo nnd unhap
py, nud couldn't read my paper, and
i-'nt down with my head on my hands,
sulkier than over, I supposo, to Iooknt.
Maybo it was an hour, maybo two, that
1 sat there, beforo I heard a step coming
over tho grass, nml looking up, saw tho
girl 1 had driven o'er from Baldwin
Annlo May coming towards mo. Sho
did not see mo at first, but when sho did
sho started aud stopped, nud smiled nt
mojust ns I had seen other girls smilo
often nt other men, but never onco nt
mo before Hint moment I nover
thought what I was doing, but held out
my groat brown hand, nnd shook bauds
with herns if wu had been friends for
years.
"I found thero was nothing for 1110 to
do In tho factory until Monday," she
said, "nnd camo out to seo what these
woods wero like. It's n pretty place"
"Prettier lu summer," I said, "and
prettiest of nil In autumn, when tho
leaves tiro burned gold and scarlet."
"I llko spring best." sho said: "overy
thing is now and fresh, and J ust beguti.
In nutumu ov cry thing Is nearly over
mm is sad.''

"I don't mind It, 1 haven't 11 gay dis
position, I suppoio," I said. "Hut look
hero if youd llko somo fresh young
things, I'll show you something," aud
I took her to where, behind a rallcn log,
tho first spring violets always grow.
Thero wero n dozen thero now, nud sho
wont down on her knees tosmell them.
Sho would only pick ono though, 11
seemed wrong, sho said.
That one, nfler wo had walked for an
hour or so, somehow or other, dropped
out of her hnlr. Sho did not know It,
but I did, nud when sho had gono hoino
I went back and found it lying in tho
path, nnd put it In my bosom. It was
so sweet, and frojh, nud beautiful that
I could but think it was llko her. I
liked to think so. Oh. what n day It
was for mo! What a night when I
drenmed it over.
Next day was the Sabbath, and I did
what I had never done beforo. After I
was dressed, angry Yvlth myself for not
looking handsomer all tho whllo I stood
beforo tho glass, I went over to Mrs.
Munson's and usked for Miss May.
Sho camo down prettily attired, and
I remember stammering out something
about thinking sho might llko to go to
church, and would not know tho way.
I am afraid I could not havo remem
bered tho text to savo my life, and tho
sennon'was thrown away on me. But
I was very happy happier than I had
over been before. Only a day slnco I
took her over in a littlo wogon, but I
loved her and told her so. It may not
bo such a mighty matter to other men
to havo ono woman's love, but I had
no ono cUo on earth lo caro for. So
when she 3aid "Yes," and let mo kiss
her, it was ouly shamo that kept mo
from crying outright for joy. Sho had
promised to marry mo in tho autumn,
nnd after that sho would work no moro
In tho factory, I wns saving to buy a
three-roomed cottage in the vi!lage,and
to furnish it humbly, of course, but so
that it should bo n homo for her; and
when she was its mistress, I should not
envy any king in his palaco.
Ono week wo hail boon moro than
usually busy, for it was near tho end of
June, anil wo wero making fireworks
for tho celebration of the 1th of July,
and the first that I had seen of Annie
that day 1 saw in tho great salesroom
whero wo wero always gathered to re
ceive our wages. The mon on one side,
tho girls on tho other, stepping up to
tho great desk, ono by one, its old Grif
fin, tho clerk, called our names. I
looked across tho lino of girls' fnces,n!ul
saw her smiling at me, but I could not
get near her. Besides, nt that moment
my name was called "Hathron" and
I stepped up lo. tho desk. Then, for
the first time, I noticed Hut old Grlnio
wns not there. A nephew of Mr. Wil
liams, whoso name I knew to bo Rich
ard Janes, was pitying tho hands insfead.
Ho was tt hundaonio young fellow, and
very gentlemanly 0110 of tho fairklnd.
Ho had a sort of amateur way with
him, very diirerent from the business
llko manner of old Griflln, and when it
camo to tho girls, he had something
pleasant to say to each one, instead of
tho old man's snapping style. What
ho said to Annio I don't know, but sho
blushed llko a wild roo from brow to
chin.
Walking home together, sho asked
mo who ho was.
"Mr. Janes," 1 answered; "did you
nover seo him beforo V"
"No," said Annie. "How very hand-
somo he is don't you think so '."'
I gnvo a grudging "Yes." I couldn't
bear to hear her praise him. Sho might
for all I knew, be contrasting him with
me. That was tho first pain, but thero
wns moro to como.
Besides her daily work, Annlo hnd
got Into tho way of doing somo fine
sowing and embroidery for a Miss Red-
ford, a beautiful young lady In tho vil
lage, and onco a week sho carried it
homo. Generally I went with her, but
thero was o'erwork for tho men to do
ono night, and I could not get off. I
fretted nud fumed nbout it, and, when
tho time came, couldn't for tho life of
mo, help slipping away to a stair-head
window, to catch aglimpsoof her. Sure
enough, I did seo her n good way on
tho road, with her littlo basket on her
arm, but thero was somo ono with her.
It was too far to seo faces, but I know
tho coat ho wore, and it wa3 Mr. Rich
ard Janes. Ho was talking to her ear
nestly, and, when I could stay no lon
ger, thoy wero still together her fnco
inclined townrds his.
I thought of this plcturo until it
seemed to burn into my heart. It was
llko my sulky, brooding nature, never
to say ono word about it to Annie. Ono
day, when I mado nn excuse to enter
tho woman's work-room, nfter Mr.
Janes had gono there, I plainly saw
him slip a littlo noto slowly into An
nie's pocket. Tho tlmo had como around
for her to go over to Miss Bedford's
with her work; but that ovenlng In
stead of going with her, I watched hor
biding llko a thiof behind trees nnd
buildings on the toad, Sho went alone,
camo back alone, nud I saw nothing for
my pains. 1 did at church, noxt Sab
bath, though, When tho hyiiiu was
given out, Mr. Junes sitting In the hand
some family pew, seeing Annlo in
doubt as to tho number for tho old
clergyman did not always speak dis
lini'tly reached over and took her
hook to find tho place. When ho gavo
It back I saw theio was something bo
tween tho leaves, nud.conio what might,
would havo snatched It, but at that
moment Miss Bedford, who wit in tho
side aisle, whispered to Annlo lo show
her the number, and 1 lost tho chauco,
for In passing the book It was hidden, 1
know It wns a noto by the white glim
mering of tho edgo of tho paper.
Miss Redford looked nt Annlo ns if
sho knew something of tho matter,
too, ns sho stepped after her father and
mother Into tho carriage Thero was a
feud between tho old folks nnd tho pro
prietors of tho factory, and tho old Red
fords scowled nnd looked haughty un
til they wero fairly shut In aud driven
nway. Not Mr. Janes ho was too gcti
tlomanly; not Miss Bedford sho was
too sweet,

rlcd hoino pell-mell, by short cuts, and
01 uicni an, only Annlo and 1 wero
left. Sho was waiting for mo to Join
her a thing I did not mean to do.
I leaned against the Iron railing of
tho church-yard, wishing I was sound
asleep under 0110 of tho green mounds,
looking dark as usual, until I 9nw her
turn towards inc. Then I leaped over
the railing and went uwny.
On Monday I win at work. It wns
the third of July, and tho fourth was
of course, to bo n holiday. It was hard
to keep the younger bauds nt work.
They wero crazy about tho Fourth, and
1 supposo every ono of them hnd n pis
tol. I never cared for .banging at any
thing, and I should not hnvo had ono
oven had I felt differently.
After supper I was coming back,
when among the shadows, I saw two
figures standing together. I felt in a
moment who they must be, and got
closo enough to hear their voices. Ono
wns Annlo May, tho other Richard
Janes. I heard enough In their parting
words :
"Eleven will be tho best time; the
moon will bo up by then. I'll havo tho
carrlago waiting under tho two elms In
Baldwin's woods. Bo certain about
tho hour, for tho down trnln starts at a
quarter to twelvo. Good-byo; God
bless you!"
Not another word, but I knew the
wholo. Sho was going off with Rich
ard Janes; sho whom I loved so. Tho
0110 of all tho world who hud seemed to
lovo me. I heard his firm tread dloaway
I heard, her light footstep rustle over
tho grass, and went back to tho work
room, for wo wero lo Yvork until a lato
hour thnt night.
I wanted to get rid of my tircsomo
life.
Thero was nothing left to llvo for so
it seemed tome.
At half-past ten I got tho chanco I
wanted, and slipped out. I was going
to kill myself iu Baldwin's woods, on
tho dead log behind Yvhich tho first
spring violets grow, and Yvhcro wo had
sat so often slnco together.
Tho moon was just rising, round nnd
yellow, behind tho black trees, and the
factory windows wero ablaze. As I
slunk by tho ollice, I saw Mr. Richard
Junes thero ulone. He wns sUitidlng
exactly under a swinging lamp. A
trying lamp for anybody but n pretty
face, but his wan not hurt by it. Great
heavens! how hiindsonio ho looked,
and how happy ! .My blood boiled with
jealousy and eric f. I wr.s as mad for a
moment ns a lunatic could be. My
hand went into my boom and caught
at a pistol hidden there. The next in
stant I had lircd, taking aim at tho
handsomo head. But U was not a good
aim. The ball passed over Its mark,
and struck tho swinging lamp. I saw
it fall, and a great blassj spring up on
the Instant, and I know that tho II re
work factory was on lire. That factory
filled to tho roof with explosive sub
stances, and with a hundred hnd fifty
men and boys, nnd pretty, innocent
girls, shut up within its walls. I do
not know whether Satan ever felt re.
morse, but if hodoes It must be such as
1 felt hopelens, maddening, scorching.
The noxt moment there was a horri-
blo report, and I wns thrown into the
air.
No hurt, though. I picked myself
up from tho grass, and stood looking ut
my work. Hundreds of rockets and
bluellghts and wheels tossing and nam
ing. Hundreds of cannons seemed to
bo roaring, and over It all you could
hear screams women's screams and I
went down on my knees and prayed.
"Oh, savo her, savo her to bo his
wlfo to hato mo only save her I"
Pooplo wero flocking In from tho vil
lage. In tho midst of tho wildest
tumults somo ono caught my arm. I
turned It was Annlo, and bcsldo her,
white and trembling, stood Miss Red
ford. "Oh, Scth-lhank God for this!"
cried Annlo ; "you nro safe. Oh, dear
young lady, try to hope ho may bo
too."
And then that beautiful Miss Redford
sank on her knees beforo me, and clasp
ed her hands nnd prayed mo to savo her
Richard!
"I should havo been his wlfo in nn
hour," sho said. "Oh, savo my hus
bandmy love, my life, my darling."
Tho truth rushed Into my mind then
Isaw all In my blind folly. I remember
ed tho feud between tho Redfords' and
AVilllams' family, and knew that my
Annlo had only been helping Miss Red
ford to meet and correspond with her
lover ; that it would havo been better
for mo to bo dead.
"Go out of danger !" I panted. "I'll
bring him to you or dlo with him!"
and with Annie's scream of terror in
my ear, I dashed away.
1 Aro tho women In thero?" I yelled.
"No, thank Hea'en," ho answered.
"Didn't you know tho women wero
dismissed flvo minutes beforo tho ex
plosion took placo? All tho men aro

His undo Is offering anything to havo

money, though, nobody can do It."
For hours wo worked nt tho flro be
foro It was out, and then 11 great heap
of lumber was piled over tho bodies of
tho thlitecii men who must ho inside

cno say Miss Bedford Yvas going from

It was tho Fourth of July ; but no
guns wero flrcd nud no bells rung at
Baldwin. All tho people wero about
tho factory, helping ns best they could.

Judge what It was to mo!
At last nil wero out but Mr. Janes,
and somebody cried out that they could
see him under some beams. It was a
dangerous place to get at, but I could
not stop for that. I forced myself Into
that narrow nperture, and sot to work.
I called, but thero was no nnswer. At
last I came to him, lying with a great
beam across his chest. His beautiful
golden hair and beard wero singed nnd
scorched, nnd ono of his hands was
blistered. I touched him and scream
ed In his cars, but they wero deaf to
me. I got tho log off somehow, and
dragged him to tho light, nnd then I had
holp enough. Thoy look him between
them and laid him on tho grass, and
tho doctor unfastoned his vest.
"Is ho dead ?" 1 asked, and I meant,
as I live, if tho answer was yes, to tell
tho crowd beforo mo what I had done,
knowing well that If I did, no law
could save me.
Thero was no answer for a moment,
and I spoko again: "Is ho dead?"
And God bless tho dear, whlto-hcaded
old man, who ansewrcd so kindly :
"No, my man he Isn't dead. I think
ho's coming to."
Oh, tho mercy of tho good Lord--
thlnlc of it ! Of tho wholo, not ono was
killed. Thero Yvcro burns and broken
limbs, and black eyes, but thero was no
death ; and soon I saw Richard Janes
pale and faint, but out of danger
standing beforo mo. I couldn't boliovo
God bad been so good to me.
Then that old white-haired doctor
mounted on a pile of burned logs, and
lifted his hut, nnd thero wero throo
such cheers as wero nover heard before,
md a dozen boys sped into Baldwin to
ring tho bells ; aud women came crying
to thank mo for helping to savo their
dear ones so that for shamo I went
and hid myself In Baldwin's woods,-
nnd cried, Yvlth my head hidden In my
arms, ou tho old log Yvhero tho violets

Then somebody camo softly up tho
path and sat beside me, and bent over
me, and took me, singed and smoke-
slnined as I was, In two whltoarms
nml only 0110 of all tho world could do
that and, without looking, I knew It
was Annlo.
"My noblo bravo darling," sho said :
"my own dear that I am so proud of!"
and sobbed and kissed me.
