Weary hearts ! weary hearts! by cares of life oppressed, Ye are wandering in the shadows—ye are sighing for the rest ; There is darkness in the heaven, and the earth is bleak below, And the joys we taste to-day, may to-morrow torn to woe. Weary hearts! God is rest. Lonely hearts 1 lonely hearts ! this is but a land of grief, Ye are pining for repose—ye are longing for relief; What the world bath never given—kneel and ask of God above, And your grief shall turn to gladness—if you lean upon his love ! Lonely hearts ! God is love. Restless hearts! restless hearts! ye are toiling night and day, And the flowers of life all withered, leave but thorns along your way ; Ye are waiting, ye are waiting 'till your toil ings here shall cease, And your ever listless throbbing, is a sad, sad prayer for peace. Restless heart God is peace. Broken hearts broken hearts! ye are deso late and lone, And low voices from the past o'er your present ruins moan ; In the sweetest of your pleasures there was bitterest alloy, And a starless night bath followed on the sunset of your joy. Broken hearts ! Ged is joy. Homeless hearts ! homeless hearts ! through the dreary, dreary years, Ye arc lonely, lonely wauderers, and your way is wet with tears ; in bright or blighted places, wheresoever you may roam, " Ye look away from earthlarill, and ye murmur, "where is home?" Homeless hearts God is home. ffitorg-Zeller. The Test of Courage. There was not a more noble craft than the "Saucy Kate," when she sailed o'it of Marseilles harbor, in the spring of '5O, and no ship was ever blessed with a pleas anter company—about twenty.five in num ber, who had taken the "Saucy Kate" fir New Orleans Prominent among us, was a British officer, who was on his way to America, a French Abbe, a Kentucky farmer, and a lady from Louisiana, who was returning home with her daughter. This daughter was the star of the com pany. Her name was Ida Greville, and it was whispered that she was heiress to a large fortune in slaves and plantations. Yet this was not the charm that won homage from all, and even from those who might have refused to touch property which lay in a plantation. Her figure was slight, but exceedingly graceful. Indeed, it seemed impossible for her to be otherwise. Her complexion was very fair, while her hair and eyes, in con trast, were intensely black ; her eyes were large and melting, like those of many southern ladies, and her hair was gather. ed about her brow in gloriously clustering curls. When she first entered the cabin, she seemed so splendid an exhibition of spot less beauty, that every one rose involunta- rily from his seat, and, by one common impulse stood up until she was seated. In a few days she showed herself as fas cinating in her manner as she was beauti ful in person, to those who were favored with an introduction, and the hearts of all on board were completely enslaved by this queen •f beauty. The British officer, who bore the title of Major Folsom, seemed particularly charm ed with her ; and, having obtained an in troduction, constituted himself her special attendant. The "Saucy Kato" was a magnificent vessel of eighteen hundred tons, sharp as a razor, and fast as the wind itself.— And now it only remains to descriha th e captain. Captain Valn►y was an extraordinary man in personal appearance. He was of rather small stature, and his limbs were slenderly, even delicately formed. His bald was small and white Is a woman's and his features were as finely moulded. His thee was very handsome, and his light hair was thrown back and curled closely behind his head. His eyes were blue, but full of fire, and capable of lightning up with a sudden flash which was startling to behold. His voice was shrill but musical, and we never heard it aroused, as the mate gener ally communicated his orders to his sail ors. Now, from the first moment it was evi dent that a storm was brewing between the Major and Captain Vainly. The Major as sumed an air of hauteur which was absurd, and to him who was the object of it, an noying. lie was accustomed to a cool and common way of speaking, which was in creased to a much greater degree of inso lence when he addressed the Captain.— Meanwhile the rest of us contented our selves with watching and awaiting the is. sue. Vainly certainly did not seem like the man who could endure very much of this treatment. For several days the Major went on growing worse and worse every day. He would interrupt the Captain in his remarks in the rudest manner—he would turn his back upon him in the most offensive way possible, and when be spoke to him he would address him in a loud and offensive, and, at last, in a peremptory manner. The secret of the Major's hatred seemed to be the interest which Ida Greville took in the Captain. She seemed to take more delight in talking with him than with any other. Early in the morning she would be out on deck listening to the Captain, who, with never-tiring patience and elegant lan guage, would explain to her the wonders of the sea, and relate a thousand wild stories of events which had ocurred among these waters. Late at evening, too, he would show her the stars by which, in critical times, the navigators would guide their courses, and still excite her never flagging attention. Indeed, the wonderful beauty of Captain Valmy's stories, and his unbounded stores of knowledge of every kind, was the admi ration and wonder of all the passengers. This was only equalled by the subordina tion and respect of all the crew, who treated him with remarkable obedience. Yet all this only increased the hatred of the Major. Through the day he endeav ored to fascinate and charm the fair Ida, and then, while the Captain Was at his duties about the ship, he was without a rival. Sometimes, however, a word would pass between Ida and the Captain, and that would enrage the Major beyond measure. It was etident that matters were approach ing a crisis. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1874. At the dinner-table one day the Major cooly took away the meat which the Cap tain was accustomed to carve, sat down in the captain's place, and calmly began to serve the meat. The Captain entered, and without a word turned away. "'but there was a burning-spot upon his cheek, and a strange fire in his eye. We wondered at him. Was he a coward ? The Major sneeringly insinuated as much to Ida, who Bashed crimson. Captain Vainly sat at the table with us no more. But the Major was not going to let him off so easily as this. He had other things in store for him. He talked more loudly and contemptuously of the Captain. Ile made sneering allusions to his stature, and ironical remarks about his bravery. Once he climbed up to the cradle while the Captain was taking an observation below, and threw some handfuls of oakum down upon him. At another time he contrived to upset a pail of water which stood upon the quarter-deck, in such a way that it nearly all fell upon the Captain. He turned frightfully pale ; we saw the gi gantic struggle which took place within him, and some of us trembled to see the fearful contest. Yet he calmly whistled a tune and walked away. He never came into the cabin now. He was insulted so constantly by the Major that he stayed away as much as possible. For the rest; of us, we had long ago con cluded that he was incapable of taking offense, and though sorry for him, we considered him capable of taking his own part, and, in fact, we considered it none of our business. Ida—the beautiful Ida—at length turn ed from him. Surprised, shocked a thou sand times at his want of manliness, she was at first cool with him, and, at length, no longer sought his company. This seemed the finishing blow to the Captain. We had been out a fortnight. One morning the sun rou. beautiful and calm, yet a storm seemed brewing upon the skirts of the horizon, and dark, suspicious clouds hung threateningly there. Captain Valtny was calm, impenetrable as ever. He appeared as unmoved and as pleasant as if nothing had occurred to ruffle the harmony of the scene. Ida stood by the stern, looking out upon the sea which surrounded them, as smooth as glass. The Captain approached her. "The water is very smooth to-day, Miss Greville," said he. "Are you not surprised at it ?" Coldly and haughtily she turned upon him. A thousand expressions showed themselves in her face. She murmured a few cowmon•place words, and turned to go. _ _ At that moment Major Falsom came to• wards them. Ire rudely thrust himself between the two, and planting his heavy foot on that of the Captain, he offered his arm to Nis Greville and led her away. The Captain bore the agonizing pain without a word • his face remained calm and merely a light flamed in his eye. Calmly he watched them till they went below. "All hands to take in to'•gallant sails," he cried, and the sailors clambered in obedience. In a few moments the Major appeared. The Captain walked up as calm as ever. The Major looked surprised. Still Captain Vainly looked unawed. Walking boldly up to the Major before the latter could turn away, he struck him a stunning blow on his face with the back of his hand "That's in payment for the insult," said he quietly. Had the heavens above him, or the sea beneath him, opened, the Major could not have been more thunderstruck, lie was utterly silent finr a full minute, during which time his face worked strangely, and he foamed at the mouth. Then with a tremendous oath, he rushed upon the Cap tain. We looked on with beating hearts. We were anxious for the result. In a MO meat our blood rushed like fire through every vein, and an exulting shout rang from the few passengers who were specta tors of the scene For the Captain, v. calmly and placidly as ever, threw himself into the most scien tific of attitudes, and as the Major rushed at him he nimbly stretched out his foot, and, with a practised hand, gave him a lightning-like blow between the eyes, knocking him down, and sending him reeling; across the deck. "That's for tramping my foot. Major," said the Captain, in a mocking tone. The Major slowly rose. Meanwhile the shout which we had given had brought all the passengers on deck. Ida and her mother came up also. "I'll have your heart's blood :" cried the Major. In a moment the agile Captain leaped toward him, and by another nimble appli cation of his foot, had laid him low. The Major fell with a tremendous force. "All hands to take in mizzen to'-gallant sail 1" cried the Captain. As he uttered these words the Major rose and made a last rush at the Captain. This time he was seized in a moment by an iron grasp. That small body of the Captain was possessed of amazing strength. The Captain held his wrists over his back, and then confining them there in a most painful position, he calmly led him toward the companion-way. Then with the Major beat double he walked him down stairs. "This is for being violent and disres• pectful before ladies," we beard the Cap tain say as they disappeared. In a few moments he came again on deck, not a nerve excited, not in the least ruffled. "All hands double-reef fore, main and mizzen to'-sails !" he cried, in a tone of thunder. The sailors flew like bees among the rigging. But little was said. The Cap taro began to appear in a new light. We wcndered how it would end. There will be a duel, of course. The Captain overheard us say this. "Gentlemen, there will be no such thing. lam averse to duelling." Dinner time came. As the bell rang, the Captain came down to his own seat. The Major in a few moments came down his state-room, haughty and pale, with a dark circle around his eye. He did not venture to interfere with the Captain. He sat in a seat at one side, and was very si lent. The Captain said but little. He looked anxiously up once or twice, to see the weather through the sky-light, but little was said by him. After dinner we sat down, and the Cap tain stood looking at the barometer. The Major approached and handed him a note. The Captain took it, and reading it with a smile, he carelessly tossed it aside. "Pooh !" said he, "I do not fight duels. I have something more important to attend to." "What !" cried the Major, in scorn and indignation. "I do not fight duels," replied the Cap tain. "Do you mean to say that you will not fight me after these gross insults ?" "•I do." "Then sir, you are a coward and a scoun drel 1" cried the exasperated Major, 'and as such I now proclaim you Wore these passengers. You must give me satis faction. I will have your life-blood, cow ard 1" Captain Valmy did not appear in tho least moved. "I will not fight." "Coward !" "Bravery does not consist in readiness to fight duels." "If your bra7ery was as ready as your tongue seems just now to be. it would be more in accordance with your claims to manhood." "I am sorry that you differ From me so greatly in opinion, sir.' "Sir, you are a coward and a F coun dre 1 !" "Sir, this language ii not fit to be used before ladies." "I appeal to them. They , have seen my brutal treatn►cot when attacked. You wantonly beat a defenseless man. I insist, in their presence, on satisfaction." A loud peal of thunder alone broke ou the scene. "Captain ! Captain !" shouted the mate. Instantly the Captain bounded upon deck. We heard a loud roar without. It was the ocean rising in its fury. The Ma jor turned pale, and looked around in agi tation. It was now four o'clock, yet it was very dark, for the sky was covered with a pall of thick black clouds, from which the light ning began to flash in blinding, blazing sheets. We heard the Captain's voice calling in tones of thunder so loud that we wondered as we listened. Order after order followed in quick succession. We rushed up. The well-trained erew followed every command. The Captain spoke—it was done. His voice rang out incessantly. The storm came fiercely, furiously up. In an hour it had burst upon us. The waves were soon white with foam, and rolled their vast forms with awful fury against the laboring ship. They rose up in mountains all around us. Crash ! Crash one after the other these appalling surges came down with thunder fury. They rose on every side, elevating their heads above us in scorn, tossing their snow-white sum mits proudly aloft. The sky grew intense• ly black every hour, and across its surface we could see the big clouds floating fast and wildly. At intervals the lightning flashed across in blinding sheets, and the thunder followed in deafening roars. And the wind—how it howlsd ! It came down upon us with such incredible fury, that we were obliged to turn away our heads, una• ble to take breath. It came, and brought with it showers of fine, watery vapor, in a storm which none could face, with an occasional torrent of heavy drop. The how of midnight came en. and still more terrific grew the storm. The wind seemed to have grown to a hurricane. Its fury was such as we had never dreitn2d on The lightning flashes came on with such quick succession that the sky was lit up with one continuous glare. The thunder rolled so fast. peal upon peal, that nne in cessant roar filled the ears. The ship lay on her beamends, and the huge waves dashed over her in wild and furious ca reer. In the midst of this tremendous strife of the elements Captain Vainly rose into a hero. Amid the deepest and loudest thun der peals his voice ran out above the tu mult. In tones of incredible strength he shouted out his loud commands; as he stood there with flashing eyes, erect f)rni. and strained muscles, he seemed the master of the storm. We who were before doubtful of him, now thought we had never seen so godlike a human being. "Is it Nelson or Trafalgar ?" said Ida to her mother, their admiration making itself' known even amid the fears which the surrounding dangers inspired. Suddenly a tremendous wave struck the ship. She yielded to the blow, and rolled far over. Fiercely, loudly, rang out the Captain's orders ; swiftly and promptly they were obeyed, and nobly, too, did the ship bear her part. Struggling, shaking, and quivering beneath the shock. she remained trembling f;)r a time, but at length righted herself' and again aro4e to confront the waves. But a loud cry arose from the cabin. It was the voice of the Major. As the ship was struck, his fears, which had all along been gathering, found a voice. He rushed on deck, and, heedless of those who stood near, seeing only the roll ing waves and the terrific sky above, he flung himself upon the deck, and, clasping his hands called out to heaven for mercy. Then, springing up, as the thunder rolled, pealing out a greeting to the recovered ship, he wrung his hands and shrieked— " Lost ! Lost ! 0 God ! We are all lost !" Then the eahuness of the Captain be. came subliine. "Not at all, my dear Major," said he. in his blithest tona; "pon my word, you are very unnecessarily excited—you are, indeed." The Major startled, and still pale and trembling, slunk below. But now the worst was over. Midnight passed. The storm which had come on so quickly went away no less speedily. W© soon retired to our berths with our minds at ease, and the breakfast bell summoned us from slumber to find a breeze propelling the good ship merrily along. The Major did not come out to break fast. The Captain was there in his own seat, still calm and placid, with the same never-varying calmness. The ladies, too, were there, and the lovely Ida, whose place was near that of the Captain, seemed willing to become friendly again, and to forget all that had occurred. But the Captain took little notice of her. At eleven o'clock we were all on the quarter-deck. It was calci, and the ship lay motionless upon the sea. The Captain sat with his arms folded upon the skylight, and looked forward. Beside him the cab in boy knelt upon the deck, cleaning a pair of as perfect duelling pistols as ever were seen. They were splendidly mounted, and bore the nameof Captain Valmy. We won dered what this was for. The Major at length came upon deck. He was dressed carefully, and evidently had come to the conclusion that he would try to do away with the effect which his conduct in the storm hail produced upon our minds. With st bold, half-swaggering air, he came up to the ladies, and commenced talking in his old familiar way. Still the boy went on rubbing the pistols. The sight of them evidently put the Major in a state of slight uneasiness. At last it was midday. The pistols were finished and loaded. The Captain rose.— Taking one of them in his hand, with the air of one who was master of the weapon, he played with it a litttle while and then spoke : "Major Folsom, perhaps you remember that yesterday was expressed an opinion about my bravery—you challenged me—" "011! my dear Captain," began the Major. "A coward," sternly continued the Cap tain. -And when I refused to fight a duel you were loud iu your complaints. I did not think fit to tell you why I would not fight a duel, but I may do so soon." "I trill proce to you, however, that it was not because I doubted my skill, or practice with this little artiel.:. Do you set that nail ?" He pointed to a tack which was stuck in the mast ; it was a small one with a round head. The Captain raised his pistol—aimed-- fired. The major turned pale a:4 death. The rest of us uttered a cry of astonishwnt. Fur when we looked the nail was driven in to the head. "Now, Major, I could pink you in every part of that large and somewhat cumbrous body of yours. I have always laid low many a better man than you." "Look again." He took up the other pistol. "Boy, hold up that bullet between your fingers. " • The boy held up a bullet I),..tween hiss thumb ..!nd finger. "Djn't be alarmed, ladiei and men this is a feat I often try." Bang went the pistol. The bullet was struck tar from between the boy's fingers. and he, unhurt, calmly walked away. "And now, Major, we will settle our lit tle business," said the Carain, loadi n 7 the pistols. "I pray you, Captain Vainly," said Ida Greville, stepping forward, “to stop. Let this violence go no further. What wonl,l you have mortal combat in our presence ?" I wish to satisfy the Major," replied Val iny. am satisfied, entirely satisfied; and I perfectly agree with Miss Gresi!le. I would not be so rude before her." These words the Major stammered out. He was very pale. "I forbid it. ('.iptain Vshay, I implore you!' "31i.;s Greville, I, of course, would not wish to commit an act of violence in your presence. The cabin is left open for your retreat. What are you excited now ! Yet. once before, I know an act of violence was committed towards me, and a challenge was given. Why did you not interfere then ? Is his life so precious that you seek to preserve it ?" The Captain's mica was very mournful. Ida turned pale. She knew ant what to say. She saw in that strange being a pow er before which she was perfect weskoeso. -I deem it my duty, gentlemen, to pro test :" cried the Abbe ; "in the name of theme lidies, and in the name of the great Being, whose laws you would desecrate:" "A sacred protest :" cried the Captain. "And why did you not seek to stop this before it had assumed an importance which blood alone could satisfy ? I appeal to these other honorable gentlemen. You heard the challenge of last sight. Shill I be. allowed to have satisfaetiom ?'' "Yes !" criei all preszmt, in one loud response. "Yes !" thundered the Kentuckian. "Yon shall, pu shall!" "Maiir Folsom—to fight a duel under ordinary circumstances. would be unfair to you. I will chooee a new mode of com bat, in which no seconds will be needed. You will then stand en even terms with me." The Major was silent—his le;s Ahqok. "I am the challenge.' piny. I have the right. You take this pist,l and I will take the other." The Maim- to.,k it. lie rec.,verel from his agitation, and brayed it out. "Now come," cried Captain Vaievy. "Place the mussel of your pistol to my heart, and I will place mine to yours. We will stand till the gentleman from Ken tucky counts three; then we will both fire together,—and may God have mercy on our souls." The Major sprang bask. "I protest against such a morier - ,u4--- such an unheard of mode." "Well, you stand off and let we siv)ot you The Major's face expressed the most frightful passion. Death in either case was inevitable. Exasperation seized the wretch. ed man. The passengers stood watchfully around. The Major stepped back. "Come," said he. The two took their stations under the mast., pistols in hand, as proposed. The scene was one which could never be for gotten. There stood the terror stricken Major, stiff and upright, holdinn. e' his pistol with the fixedness of despair, his eyes starting and bloodshot. Again there was an interruption. Ida Greville rushed upon the scene. She implored us, fur the love of Heaven to put a stop to this dreadful act. She in voked every merciful and compassionate emotion. She knelt before `'a hoy—rod he, as his lip trembled slightly, and the smallest possible tear glistened in his eye, answervd— "Miss Greville, there wis a time when you could have stopped this. It is too Late to stop it now—it must go on. I, who was once unmovable in resisting and enduring insults, am now immovable in avenging myself for countless wrongs. No, your entreaties are of no avail." The lady rose and mournfully departo.l. Then the calmness of death camo over all the spectators of this tragic scene. Cap tain Vainly stood calm, erect,selfrssessed —as much at ease as if' seated at the head of his table. The Kentuckian took his stick and raised it in the air. Dropping it slowly against the taff-rail, he erie•! out— "• One !" Our hearts beat—we could hear them beating. "Tivo !" We held our breath The Kentuckian's stick writ up. An other moment, and the inevitable word would be spoken that would send two hu man beings writhing in blood, to the deck. "Tli—'' The Major dashed his pistol upon the deck. "I cannot—l will not:" he cried—"lt is impossible for flesh and blood to stand this!" And without another word he rushed below. Captain Valmy calmly ordered his boy to pick up the pistol, and then, firing them both off he turned to us.
