By tlm merest cltAiice in the twilight gloom, In the on-hard path he met rue l In the tall, wet jiran, with its faint perfume I Ami I tried to pass, but he made no room ; Oil, I tried, hut he would not lot me : So I stood and hlushed till Hie grass grew red. With my face hent down above it, Wliilo he took my hand, as he whis-p'ring H.iid (How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head, To listen to all that fny lover said : Oh ! the clover in bioom I love it !) In the hioh, wet grass went the path to hide, And the low, wet leaven hung over; ' I? i t I eonhl not pass upon either side, r or I found myself, when l vainly tried, In the arms of my M;adfast lover. And he held me there and he raised my head, While he elosed the path before me ; And he looked down into my eyes and said (How the leaves beuldowu from the boughs o'er head, To listen to all that my lover said ; Oli, the leaves haniii"; lowly o'er me! Had he moved aside a little way, I could surely then have passed him ; And would not have heard what he had to ay, Could I only aside have cast him. It was almost dark, and the moments uped, A ml Ihe M-ari hin tiijrht-wind found w.s ; ! Hut he drew me nearer and softly naid (How the pure, sweet wind grew btill, iu stead, To listen to all that my lover said ; Oh, Ihe wlnspei my wind around its') 1 am sore he knew when he held me fast, That I must be all unwilling ; For 1 tried to go, and I would have passed, As the niyht was coming wilh its dew at last, And the sky wilh stars was tilling ; Iiut he clasped mo close when I would have fled, And he made mo hear his story, And his soul came out lrom Via lips and said (ilow the stars crept out where the white lltOON UJ, To listen to all that my lover said ; Oh, the moon and the Mara in glory !) - I know that tho grass aud the leaves will not tell. And I'm Hure that the wind, precio; a rover Will i arry his secret so safely and well That no being shall ever discover One word of the many that rapidly fell From the eager lips of my lover-, Khali never reveal what a fairy-like spell They wove round about us that night in the d.-il. In the path through tho dew-laden clover; Nor echo the whispers that made my heart swell As they fell from the lips of my lover. II. G. in X. Y. Eraring Posf . A J IDS T TIIF. Ii It FA Ii KISS, I never was iti better spirits than on tho morning I left Shanghje. I was then cap tain of the good aliip Morning Glory, bound from that port to London, with A cargo of tea. The vessel was a fine clip per, well formed, and in good trim ; so I never ft It more confident of making a rapid passage Hiaii on the day wc cast off Ihe tug at Woosung and lau past Saddle Island, with afresh eight knot, breeze, down the China Sea. I had only two passengers with me Mis. Clifford, the wife of an English merchant at Isingpo, and her daughter, a little sunny-haiied child, who noon became a favorite with all on board. All went well until we were off Turnabout, when the wind fell light, and for several days wc mndu but little progress. When I came on deck one morning, I was surprised to find the royals and topgal lant sails stowed, though it was a dead calm, and the cicw busily employed reef ing preventer-braces and doubly securing everything movable. "What's the matter, Jackson?" I in quired, as the chiof officer came towards me. "I think it's going to blow hard, cap tain ; the mercury's all of a quiver in the barometer the birds lly high a! c making for land. I've seen those signs before in these seas, and know a typhoon's coming on pretty Khortly," he replied. I commended his forethought, and, urg ing him to get everything snug as quickly as possible, went below to ascertain, as accurately as I could, the vessel's position. Clouds gradually gathered overhead, and at eight bells in tbe afternoon the first iu stallmeut of wind canoe, in short, fitful gusts, from nearly opposite points of the compass. Presently the clouds opened, and a torrent of rain poured down, while the wind increased in violence till it blew a heavy gtle. The hatches were tightly battened down, all sails furled except the three close reefed topsails and fore course ; and I put her right before the wind, to endeavor to run out of tho circle of the storm. Night came on, and then the full fury of the tempest burst upon us. To see was impossible, for the rain drove horizontally along, cutting to our very skins to hear, still more so, foj the howling of the warring elements deafened us completely. Groaning and quivering, the good ship bore bravely on, now rising high on the crest of a mountainous billow, anon plung ing deep into an abyss of darkness, from which she again emerged foaming and snorting like a mettlesome 'steed. The crew drenched, to the skin, were crouching under the lee of the weather-bulwaiks ; and I was firmly lashed to the mizzen l igging, under shelter of a tarpaulin. StilUhe hurricane raged with increasing violence. I could not close-haul the vessel for want of sea-room on the starboard hand ; and I knew we should get into tho inner circle of the typhoon the point most to be dreaded if we lay to on tbe off shore tack. The topsails blew out of the bolt-ropes with a roar like thunder; the fore-brace parted, and the yard came crashing down on deck. One huge wave Lroko over the stern, while another struck the vcscl full ou the broadside, flinging her on her beam-ends in the ti ough of the sea, where sho lay moaning like a van quished giant. 'Cut away the mizren-mast," I roared through my speaking-trumpet. Jackson, than whom a better sailor never trod a plank, obeyed my order promptly ; one stroke of his axe severed a shroud landyard of the mizzen-rigging and the Jowei tuaV, snapping hoit off below the top, ftll into the boiling ocean toiscward. Still the vessel lay over on her side, and the sea making a complete breach over her. 'Mainmast, now !" I shouted, and soon that mast went close by the dck carrying with it the foretopmast and, alas! Jack son and ten brave fellows who bad become enmeshed in the tangled cordage that swept the deck. The vessel righted on her keel ; and the remainder of the crew and myselt used every edort. to save our hapless compan ions, but without avail, and they sank to rise no more. I was now mi momentary expectation of tho vessel foundering, for the helm was useless huge waves, mountain high, were breakiirg over her, and the spars to leeward were dashing like battering-rams against her sides, threatening to stave her in. But all was not yet lost; there came a lull, followed by another whistling blast, then a lull again, and the rain ceased. This be tokened that the fury of the storm was spent, that lite centre had passed, and that ere long all would be over. At last the welcome dawn arrived, so, bidding the second mate set at once about clearing the d:brist, I descended to the cabin for the purpose of visiting Mrs. Clif ford, who I knew must n5ed cousolatiou. I found the courageous woman seated in a corner where she had wedged her-e!f,CHlm-ly reading the form of prayer "to be used at sea," while her child lay peacefully slumbering in her lap. As I entered she rose and took both my hands. "Captaiu Downcs, you good, brave man, tell mo truly, is there any hope? I can bear to hear ihe worst, though the thought of my poor little Edith nuuerves me," she said, gently. "Tho weather is moderating, madam we are in the hands of Providence, but His mercy may be extended to us; the greatest danger is now past, bo bear uand have every hope," I replied. I whs peering over a chart in my cabin, when tbe second mate called huriedly to me to come on deck. "Breakers to leeward, sir ! he cried, ex citedly, as I emerged from the hatchway. 1 looked iu the direction he indicated, and saw a long line of foam stretching out ou our h e, while the roar of beating surges fell distinctly on my ear. The sea was still running high, though the wind had died entirely away ; and I soon perceived that tho win cut was bearing us swiftly towards land. Nearer still we drifted ; and then I recognized our position. The most dangerous rocks in the China Sea, a group known as the Pnit is, were to leeward ; and we were uterly unable to navigate our dis abled vessel, or to ward off the fate that seemed pending over us. The crew showed indomitable courage, exhibiting the great est al.iciify, and striving hard, by promptly obeying my orders, to work the vessel off fchrc ; but we sagged steadily to leeward, and I saw that all chauce of saving tho vessel was gone for ever. "Get the life boat ready, my lads ; quick, for yon lives ! Don't forget provisions, Mr. Cooper," I said. as I hurried below. Mrs. Clifford met nie at the foot of the stairs, aud read the now trouble .iu my face. "You must come iu the boat. Give me Edith. Keep calm," I exclaimed, plucking a quilt from a bed, and wiappiug it round her, while I took the child in my arms. "I will, I will ! But, oh, preserve my child !" she cried ; theu sho mouuted with firm step to the deck. We were very ucar to the rocks now ter ribly near and I saw Mrs. Clifford's cheek blanch as her quick eye took in the danger at a glauce ; but I placed her safely in the boat with Edith. The crew took their places orderly ; Cooper and I lowered them to the water, the tackles were unhooked, and the boat floated clear of tho vessel's side. Then I leajied overboard, the second mate followed, the crew picked us up, and we were soon using our every endeavor to weather the shoal where on the Morning Glory shortly struck and wcut utterly to pieces. The life-boat had been terribly strained by the waves which broke o-er, when on the vessel's deck, and the water gurgled in at many a yawning seam, so that half the crew were constantly employed in bailing, her out. The sea still running high, shook her much, and I began to fear that she would not float long, as we had rather more than her complement in her ; there fore I consulted Cooper as to whether it would not bo better to pull to leewaid of the Pratas, and endeavor to land upon the island in the rear. lie agreed with nie ; so wo put that plan into execution, and be fore nightfall ran the boat between two rocks into still water, and, though not without much difficulty, succeeded in ef fecting a landing. We fashioned a tent out of the boat 8m1 For Mrs. Clifford's accommodation, and kept a regular lookout for rchfecla in the hope of being rescued. There'was plenty of fresh water in the deep jxxils and fis sures of the rocks, but our scant stock of provisions soon disappeared ; and then we had to use bicJiedemer an edible r.copbite shell fish and gulls' eggs, which abound ed on the little island, for food. A fortnight had passed away, and still no friendly sail had greeted our sight. The unusual diet and exposttrc to the weather which was extremely hot told upon us ; and in our wan faces and attenu ated forms the happy crew of the Morning Glory could scarcely have been recognized. Then four of our number volunteered to take the boat, which we had been unable to repair for want of materials, aud en deavor to reach Hong Kong, from whence assistance could be sent us. Full of hope, they started ou their mission, one beauti ful morning, beari-ig with them our heart felt prayers for their success; but, alas! they never reached land, tho boat was found bottom-up by a steamer, and that was iiow the report of our total loss got circulated. We remained on th Pratas six weeks, at the end of which time a tiading junk, noticing our signals, sent a sampan off, took us on board, and carried us to Tae wan, ou the island of Formosa, where we received much kiud attention from tbe British consul, who forwarded us to Hong Kong. As Awful Fate. Tho bondage of a drunken appetite we crtll a sin, and blame the victims who will not break it and shake it off forever. Bat there are wretched persons who cannot free themselves from the fearful thraldrom. They are those who have inherited tho vicious craving of their parents. If .beings exist -now similar to the demoniacs of the New Testiioent, these certainly belong to that class. "Vis iting tho iniquities of the fathers upon the children' is in the law of nature and the law of God, aid every such case as the following affords terrible warning to the self-madd rljunkard, not only of what he ia doing to himself, but of what he may do to his children : I knew iu Texas a young man who was heir to a woeful heritage the passion for drink. lie was physically one of the handsomest of men, and possessed of great and varied talents, which ho had carefully cultivated. Moreover he served bis coun try with distinguished bravery, and was then holding a high positioti of trust aud honor. But with a regularity that was terrrible there came to him no matter where he was, over his ledger, iu church, by the side of the woman he loved a craving for brandy that possessed him like a demon, and drove him forth from among his fel lows. With set lips and despairing face he would deliver to a friend the keys of his of fice and betake himself to his room not as men go to a carousal, but as they go to a fearful reckoning, aud for two or three days di ink, in sullen 6i!cnoe, till the crav ing was appeased. Some one was one day praisiug, in his presence, his vast stores of acquired information and his delicate fancy as an artist. "Yet I shall die like a brute," he said, sadly ; and tho despairing look of a haunted animal came into his eyes as he added, "My lather died drunk my moth er God forgive her! my grandfather shot himself iu delirium tremens you know, boys, how poor Patrick died it will be the same wilh inc." His prophecy was too soon fulfilled. The Hartford Times tells of a smart Con necticut stump speaker who was harangu ing a crowd in Fairfield county, when the effect of one of his strong points was terri bly broken by a bawling exclamation from a half-drunken fellow in the crowd, who sung out : "Oh, you're a demagogue!" The orator fixed his eyo upon the fellow and, pausing just a moment to fix the at tention of the audience and give his re sponse the more effect, merely answered, with one of his own unapproachable grins: "And put a wisp of straw around your belly and you'd be a demijohn !" It brought down the house and extinguished the bibu ulous offender. Woxdekfcl Beans. A gentleman in St. Louis has lately had sent him by a friend from California, two beans resem bling in shape a beechnut, which are pos sessed with a remarkable power of anima tion, which they show in advancing, re treating, aid turning somersaults.

"The first prize in mathematics in Thompson University wa carried off this year by Mis U. Angelina Smith, a giil of eighteen." Mr. Joblink, stretched in an easy chair before the fire with a handkerchief throw n over his bald head, read this interesting fact aloud from the paper last night, but shortly repented himself for having done so, as it set Mrs. Joblink talking. That good lady was engaged in darning Joblink stockings, and addressed her conversation to her bosom friend, Mrs. Meezles: "Yes, I dou't doubt it. Folks isbegin n in' to see that girls can do jjst as well as boys. Folks here in Virginny tell me I should lie thankful that I ain't burnt out, and so I am ; but when I think of what I might a bin if Pd kept single it makes nie mad.

I might a-bin a doctor or a lawyer or a book writer, an' had my name in tho pa pers." "Deary me, so you might," assented the weak eyed and admiring Mrs. Meezles. "Now," proceeded Mrs. J., castiug a side glauce across the comfortable room at Joblink, who was rubbing his bald spot miserably, "Now, why mightn't I a-bin a reformer an' held conventions an' things an showed folks how they was agoin astray an' didn't know beans compared with me?

"Who knows, now, that I might u't a bin an artist or a juryman, or " "Good Lord, my dear!" cried Joblitik suddenly, throwing his spectacles off his nose to his forehead and holding the pnper far away from him as possible, as if that would enable him to read the better, "Good Lord! my dea:, the poor old lady is dead!" "What poor old lady, Joblink ?" snapped the testy wife. "Mrs. Kiiikci;;!s, yon know your old mistress. Dear, dear, and she's dead ! Weil, well, we must all go in our turn. She was a good mistress to you, Sarah. Dead, eh Well, well, I " With three strides Mrs. Joblink snatched the paper from her astonished husband's hands, aud still more surprised the kindly gentleman with a whack on the ear.

Virginia Chroni cle. Tnr. Difff.uence Bf.twees 'Em. There is a vast difference, says the Dan bury Xeirs, in the conduct of a man and a woman in new clothes. When a woman gets a new suit she immediately prances down town, and for hours will walk con tentedly along a crowded thoroughfare, receiving fresh impulses of joy every time another woman scans her wardrobe. But a man is so different. He wou't put on his new ciothes for the first time until it is dark. Then he goes down town so cau tiously as to almost create the impression that he is sneaking along. If ho sees a crowd on a corner he will slip across the way to avoid them, and when ho goes into his grocery he tries to get behind as many barrels and boxes as he can. All tho time he istrjiughis level best to appear as if the suit was six months old, aud all the while realizes that he is making an infer nal failure of it. We hope the time will come when new pants will be so folded by j the manufacturer that they won't show a f ridge along the front of each leg w hen the J wearer dous tliera. Chcrches should be careful how they go on the bond of unworthy membars. A Hartford correspondent tells this 6toiy: In tho absence of the president of one of the city banks, the cashier, a great wag, was looking over the mail, when he found a letter from an Albany bank, inquiring as to the value of a note indorsed aud pre sented there for discount by u certain Hartford man of unsavory business repu tation, who was, however, noisily active in a certain religious denomination. Seizing a pen, the cashier quickly replied as fol lows : "If the note is genuine it isn't worth a d n ; but if a forgery, his Baptist brethern will probably make it good." Wheu the president of the bank came in the cashier informed him that ho had answered the Albany letter, but would show him his response if he desired. The president assenting, the cashiei's letter was produced, upon the perusal of which the president smiled grimly, and said : "The letter may go, for your facts are cor rect, though I should not have expressed them iu just that way." Ta, are yon in favor of the Bible in public schools ?' asked a West Side young ster at the breakfast table the other morn ing. "Why, of course, I am," responded the father, pleased that such a:i important subject should engage the attention of his youthful offspriug. "What makes you ask such a question, my son?' "O, nothing,', rejoined young hojieful, "only I thought maybe you wasn't, as you never have had oiie at home." The urchin dodged, buj . bs wasn't quick enough. . lxisg ron u ck. tCa'klrtg n li eaily morning at a rmmll station in North-West India, the winter, on pase'r.g a shrubbery, observed a man stealthily moving in the bushes. Tb in truder wa a.ked what he wanted, when he replied, "Tho Seth is d?ad." This Seta was the principal man in the native city adjoining the station, and a merchant uni versally known in 1he commercial world on account of his great riches. Forgetting, in his surprise at the announcement, that the reply was scarcely an adequate ore to his question, the writer took hid w a!k. juitL cn l turning, expressed his astonLiLment to the eervanta that they had not told hita the Selh whs i!l, mentioning the catastrophe he had learned from the trespasser. One of the t-ervanta having happened, on his way from the city that very morning, to have seen tbe Seth hearty and well, it woe decided on all bands that the informa tion wa incorrect. - . " Thereupon one pre pen remarked: "The man who told your honor was probably a dyer." "A dyer!" cried the writer; "but why ahould a dyer tell falsehood I" 44 lie was probably lying for luck, was the answer; and then it was related that when a vat has been prepared for a dye, eome antiety is felt as to whether it will turn out well and the blue dye was paid to be the most ticklish and that dnring this doubt the dyers go out telling false hoods, in ihe hopes that, if they are believed, the vat will turn out wtlL Further in quiries were made afterward, and the facts were found to be cone-ct; and, indeed, allusion to the custom were subsequently pointed out in native poetry. A lover would, perhaps, be made to address his mistress in some such mad hyperlnile as this, "Vou deceived me, it may be, lest tha 1.1 ae vat of heaven, jealous of the heaven of your face, fchould wish to spoil itself." There is no pretense that the Incident marked any discovery; the circuuiatance is probably well known to any oue taking an interest in folk lore and local customs, but it certainly explains how lying might be ''1 a FpecieP of worship. Numberless traces exist of a conciliatory worship in countries where tbe popular lai'.u -oii-teivee epirits tf evil to have independent" power; such worship is opjicsed to that offered in the hope of obtaining benefits, and is in truth a bribe to secure abstinence from mischief. Akin to this is the fear of offending such hurtfid being by wins; unpropitious names; thus the furies must be railed the Favorable Ones, (EumenidesJ and a certain undesirable personage 6hould be mildly designated "the old gen tleman." Perhaps but antiquarians mnst decide this in our sport of April Fool, there may be a trace of this worship of an evil spirit. And so, as we laugh at some fun-bwi!Jered perron on a thowery, morning in the Spring, and keep np the joke because we perpetrated it in our teens we may be performing a rite wheh was of old like laying a garland of poisionous and sinister flowers on the altar of a demon, ia the hope of securing good fortune for those who were not afraid of lying for luck.

The gun is fired, the wolf escapes, and, what is more remark ble than this, the sportsman who holds the guu also escapes. The dogs nre usually as unsuccessful as their masters, in catch ing the fleet-footed wolf; nevertheless the . wolf continues to be the favorite sport of the Portuguese.
