O'erwbelmed by fell deception's gloom,
Despair's resolve her soul pervades :
Fhe seeks the silence of the tomb
To lose her grief amid its shades.
Affrighted by the monster's form,
When clad in garments fringed with gore,
She fain would check his murderous arm,
And find some easy passage o'er.
A happy thought, let odors sweet
Perfume the path my feet must tread;
A painless dart my life-blood greet
And place me 'mid the sleeping dead.

Awake I is this the land of death?
Nay! See the blush end bon•
Their greeting. Alt I feel their breath
In kisses on my fevered brow.
Exquisite beauty steeps my soul
In oceans of ecstatic bliss;
Did I a thousand earths behold
I'd leave them all to enter this.
'Tis sweet, unburdened, to recline
Upon the grassy hillock's breast,
Commingling with the spicy vine
Which wreaths n ith green its spangled erect,
To woo the sportive butterfly,
Whose dewy wings my temples fan •
lie lingers ere he passes by—
How like the ❑socking flat'rer man ?
Ab ! lie is gone ; 'tis very strange
No srnoth'ring sighs my bosom heave
No demon forms my viiion range,
And weirdly in my fancy live.
'Tis past, and I'm content to dwell
'Mid floral splendors evermore ;
do earth-born grief can e'er dispel
The joys which light this fairy shore,

MY SOLEMN VOW.
BY BARBARA BACON
Charles Lamb' has said that "the chil
dren of the very poor have no young
tinier•." Then we were not very poor, in
the old, grim, crazy looking house where
I passed my childhood ) for we had young
times ; and I knew nothing of poverty
until I was forced to leave it. I know
tbut our landlord lived in a new house,
and that his daughter wore fine dresses,
but I felt no regret in the comparison ;
f,r the equire and his daughter lived
alsne, while our house was alive with chil
dren ; and I would tipt exchange the mu
sic of their laughter, nor the patter of
their darling little feet for the wealth of
Crcesus.
Bow well I remember the time that
Stephen DeGrey drove up'to the door for
the second time with his prancing horses.
(Stephen DeGrey was my father's second
cousin.) He did not alight, but seeing
my father at the window, beckoned him
out.
"Where is the little black-eyed sprite I
saw here last week ?" lie queried.
"My Mary ?" returned my father.
"Yes, your Mary."
Their he threw the reins over the dasher
of hts phaeton, and in his practical way made
my father what he termed a great offer.
"Would you like to go to Tangle-Drier
to live ?" be said, patting me lovingly on
the head.
"And you, and mother and the chil
dren ?" 1 asked.
"No; you• alone."
"No, indeed, sir."
"What, not ride away in this handsome
carriage, and dress like your beautiful
cousin Amy 'C' said Mr. DeGrey. "Beau
tiful as the day, and as dull as thunder,"
he added, in a lower tone.
"Oh, no sir."
And then feeling a grett stirring be
hind my ayes, and disliking to show my
tears, I ran in. Soon after I heard Mr.
DeGrey drive away. I crept out of my
hiding-place only to find a group of sad
faces. There I read my verdict. I was
going away from everything I loved.—
Stephen DeGrey had discovered in a pre
vious visit that I could learn (as he ex
pressed it) "with my eyes shut," and pos
sessed the idea that I might be of use to
his only daughter, whose lack of brilliancy
was a source of constant worriment to her
indulgent father.
Phan I ever forget the last time that we
gathered about the tea-table in that home
ly old kitchen, or the danties that soa.e
how my mother managed to provide,
because it was the last nteal. Ah, me!
how hard I tried to hide my tears because
so many eyes were full. How, in spite of
every effort on my part, my fund seemed
choking me to death. I remember that
I left the table, and knelt before the dying
embers upon the hearth. I cau yet feel
the tender touch of my father as he lifted
me upon his knee. I glanced for an instant
into his eyes; tears fell upon my upturned
face ; the sight was more than my heart.
already full, could bear; a sob, sad and
full, sounded in every part of that dismal
old kitchen. I laid my head upon his
breast and cried all the bitterness out of
my heart.
Just as the short winter afternoon
closed in Mr. DeGrey returned ; a hat,
(reader, it was by no means lovely) was
tied with trembling fingers under my
quivering chin, and amidst tears, blessings
and farewells, I road away.
. _ _
When we had reached the bend in the
road I looked back ; my mother was still
watching at the wicket.
Full of trouble and so excited, I scarce
ly know what I did. I laid my hand on
Mr. DeGrey's arm and made a vow.
"God spa - ring my life," I said, "until
my bead is grown in wisdom, my heart in
firmness, and my shoulders shaped for the
burden, I will shrink from no sacrifice, be
a coward in no battlo that will win com
fort and joy for those I leave behind !"
"How old are you ?" asked Mr. De-
Grey, abruptly.
"Twelve, sir."
He gave a long whistle. We rode in
silence fbr many hours, it seemed to me.
In truth, the night was far advanced when
we reached Tangle-Brier. The hove was
the best ; its furnishings the finest I had
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1875.
ever seen, and in the midst of all this
splendor Mrs. DeGrey and her daughter
awaited our coaling. I looked upon Amy
DeGrey's face of marvelous beauty. and
thought it the finest one in the world;
but fur a certain lack of expression
should think so still, for never in nature
or art have I.,seeu anything so beautiful.
I was her companion for five yea -0., sharing
with her every advantage.
Adjoining Tangle-Brier was an old di
lapidated, uninhabited mansion. Signs of
fTmer grandeur were still visible. We
used often to wander over its deserted
grounds, and imagine histories of its pre
decessors. The former owner had died
abroad, and the heir of the estate had
never taken possession.
So I lived at Tangle Brier three years,
and then Amy and I were sent to a
neighboring academy. Here, night after
night, I studied with her the same les
sons, she having, apparently, learned as
p:rfect as myself, but in ehns she was
never able to give a correct answer. She
could not retain.
When we had been at school nearly
three years Mrs. DeGrey wrote that the
present quarter would be our last. Mr
DeGrey's business called hint abroad, and
we were to finish our studies at home un
der a private tutor ; she had already ad
verti3ed. In the same letter she told us
that Maple Ilill was to be brought to life
again ; repairs were going on, and its
owner was to take immediate possession.
Mrs. DeGrey had not seen Mr. Rivers,
but had been toll that his wealth was
great and his state a bach•2lor.
"Do you know," said Amy, as she un
wound her beautiful hair, "that I've always
imagined myself mistress of Maple Dill ?"
'.lts owner may ho an idiot !.' I an
swered.
"What matters? His wealth is Un
ions; you know papa has been unfortunate
of late, and it would be terrible to be
poor :"
I had been castle building for years.
and, reader, pardon me, the foundation of
my castles had been wealth. My thoughts
constantly reverting to my kindred, could
c , neeive oi'no other plan. I had lived at
Tangle-Brier long enough to know that
money was the corner-stone of that estab
lishment, whose everything run smoothly,
and all was peace.
At the close of the quarter we returned
to Tangle-Brier. Maple llill was iahab
lied, and Mrs. PeGrey's advertisement
had i)cen answered.
"Strangest of all things :" said Mrs
DeGrey, "the applicant Li Mr. Rivers'
agent; he having no present need of his
services, will treat with me for a tutorship."
"Engage him, mamma !" cried Amy.
-in that way we shall Ece a great deal of
Ys lordship," meaning Mr. Rivers. 'Let
us go over at once."
Mrs. D.l:Grey readily assented, and we
started on foot for Maple Hill. In the
handsomely-furnished parlor we awaited
Sir John, for Mrs. Macy was making
this a call et ceremony as well as business.
Directly I heard the 13 hufiling of hulf.par•
alyzed feet ; as the sound drew near a
half grunt, half groan was audible; a ser•
want opened the door, and there entered
the most perfect specimen of old age it has
ever been my lot to meet.
I looked instinctively at Amy, but saw
no sign of disappointment. We arose;
introductions took place; and he greeted
us cordially. During the next twenty
minutes he entertained us with an account
of his diseases—five of which were incu
rable—and having told us that he was
world worn and exhausted, concluded by
saying that he intended to marry and set
tle down at Maple Hill.
The conversation now turned ; Mr.
[Livers' agent was mentioned. lie spoke
of him in the highest praise as a gentle
man and scholar. lie said Mr. Gordon
was about to leave his service, for no fltult
of his own, but for reasons which he coald
not now explain.
He pulled the bell cord as he spoke, and
tae servant again appeared.
"Tell Mr... Raphael I wish to cec him,"
he said.
When Raphael Gordan entered the
room : Amy and her mother were so much
engaged with Mr. Rivers, that I do not
think they heard the door open or close.
You would scarcely believe, t) watch this
beauty, that she had ever spoken to a
half dozen gentlemen in her life. In fact
she displayed all the art of a woman of
the world in her manoeuvres to make a
lasting impression.
Her efforts were not without effect; for
when he arose to introduce his agent and
make his adieus, he bent his trembling
head, and kissed Amy's hand.
A thousand little shivers crept up my
spine. Amy smiled as though well satis
fied ; and having assured Mrs. DeGrey
that her call would be returned at the
earliest moment possible, Mr. Rivers
hobbled out.
I can scarcely degeribe the character of
Raphael Gordon's looks, his supple sym
metry, his frequent smile; his glorious
eyes, once seen, could never be forgotten.
Amy talked a great deal about Mr.
Rivera in the days that followed "Not
such a very young, to be sure," she said,
"but such a nice old gentleman."
I ventured to ask ':what there was nice
about Ilia)." She pouted, but would not
flower.
White we were chaffing, an elegant car
riage. draws by a pair of spirited horses,
halted before the gate. I waited until
the driver opened the door; the identical
"nice old gentleman" crept out—then I
went to my room.
Amy cainri to my room shortly. Mr.
Rivers had come to take the young ladies
out; would I go ?
"Not to please me !" she persisted.
"Not to please the whole world !"
In perhaps ten minutes, I heard the
hall door close, and looking out of my
window, I saw Amy entering the carriage,
followed by Mr. Rivers.
I was more than . surprised ; I was
tho•oughly disgusted. She elm° into my
room two hours after, as talkative as a
magpie. "She had had such a delightful
ride. and Mr. Rivers said-"
I cut her short. "Don't, Amy, the
bare idea makes me sick !"
She went out muttering something of
which I caught the word "envious," and
slammed the door.
The next week we commenced our stud
ies. Who could not advance under a tu
tor like Raphael Gordon ? surely one
smile would repay hours of study.
We studied school-fashion regular
terms and regular sessions. As the first
quarter neared its close, Mrs. DeGrey pro
posed an examination. All the young
people in the neighborhood were invited
to join us. _ _ _
For the best composition, Mrs. DeGrey
offered a prize—a pair of gold bracelets—
valued at ton pounds.
Then, with her whole might, she set to
work for Amy. Night after night she
puzzled her brain over the paper that was
to pass for Amy's composition.
It was the night belbre examination. I
had read over my composition for the last
time, when Mrs. DeGrey tappel at wy
door.'
''l've brought in Atny composition,"
she cried. •"I should like to compare it
with yotirs."
I put my paper in her out-stretched
burl ; she read and returned it.
Mary, has Mr. Gordon seen this?" .
she whispered.
I replied in the negative.
'Did any one know upon what subject
you intended to write ?"
"No one in the world," I answered.
She drew her chair closer. "Mary, if
you surrender all claims to this, I will buy
you a pair of bracelets that will match the
prize in beauty and value."
"They would not compare with my
dreg nor station." I answered, "and I do
not want them."
As I uttered these words a groan as
from some one in pain, reached my ear. I
listened, the sound was not repeated. Mrs.
DeGrcy put into my hand five crisp ten
dollar notes, and 1;:ft the coon].
1 .;.'1:e door closed. I took feou► my de3k
an unsealed letter, it bore this inscription :
Mr. Edward Deane.
Wes.tonville,
(State.)
Into this I tucked the ten poundA at.d
retired. And next day Amy read my
composition as a production of her own.
She was welcome to the letter, and the
congratulations that followed, so fdr as I
was concerned. The letter in my pocket and
the great things I believed it would do for
the living inmates of an humble dwellinz'
flu. away, recompensed me more than fame
ever can.
There wilS one cloud in my sky- however.
Daring my recitations 1 failed to receive
my usual reward ; my master's smile and
kindling eye. Anything but to see the
flee averted that had always looked on tne
with more th in kindncs3.
I hastened away after theexercises were
over, anxious to deposit my letter helbre
night came on. When I retraced my
steps the twilight was fast deepening.
1 was thinking over the events of the
day, and above all arose the l'aet of my
teacher's displeasure. "When I get to
Tangle-Brier he will be none," I said
"without one look or word. Was it not
enough that I should be deprived of the
daily presence and wise conusel of him I
had learned to love 5) well Y"
Thus I mused ; and there just in the
bend I saw him coming. I scarcely re.
member what I said as wq met. I raised
a troubled eye to his flee', hoping to see
the old look again ; but no, he was still
cold and unnatural.
"Miss Deane, what evil spirit possessed
you that yi,u should go on for months with
the appearance of the best principles and
good sense,und in the eleventh Lour prove
you were devoid of either."
'•T never boasted of toy pronciples or
good sense," I replied angrily. "Neither
am I to blame for other people's blunders !"
"But you have shuddered at the idea
of Amy being wedded to Mr. Rivers f.r
his wealth; and last night you were guilty
of an act., which if less frightful in its con
sequences, is no more to be expected of a
true woman. You gave countenance to a
lie. You helped to impose on your neigh
bors, your teacher and friends; and this
for the paltry sum of ten pounds. Mary
I'eane, for months I've watched you jeal
ously, fearfully, and loved you with my
whole heart ! Day by day I've searched
your heart, your eye, your sayings for
some sign of this love of gold ? With what
art you hid it, and how by a slight acci
dent I found it out. Dropping my watch
key from my breast pocket, us I reached
out to close my shutter, I hurried down
to search f,r it; and there beneath your
window 1 heard the words that snit the
blood to my heart with a pain that blinded
me ! Oh ! Mary, how could you'"
in spite of his anting words, I loved
him never so well. I took both his hands
in my own. _ .
"You are mistaken, my dear sir; in
deed you arc ! I never posse-sed a pound
benre in my life, and for myself never de•
sire to; hut over thr3 hills there, strug
gling with poverty and sickness, live those
who haunt me waking and visit all my
dreams. When I left them I vowed that
I would shrink from no sacrifice that
would win thew comfort. The bit of fame
that I sold last night was the first sacri
fice I have ever had it in my power to
make. I was thinking of medicine and
comfortable things the ten pounds would
buy ; it is already on its way to them."
lie gathered me in his arms. "God
bless you, Mary, love them all well; only
me that I may come in for a share. Can
you love me after such cruel words ?"
So it was settled there in the gleaming.
When I re entered the house out of which
I had gone with so little gladness, I was
Raphael Gordon's promised wife.
Three months later we were quietly
married; and having decided that our
tour should take us among my kindred I
thought my happiness complete.
The carriage stood ready at the door.
"We have an hour yet," said Raphael.
"Let us go over and bid Mr. Rivers good
bye."
As we approached the house Mr. Riv
ers and several of the servants came out
and waited upon the piazza to receive
Mr. Rivers led us into the house, lle
appeared very strange, and I thought be
had been taking too much chapapagne. He
closed the door, and with a step as youth
ful as my own. he came to me.
"Mrs. Gordon, the play is played out,"
he said. "Raphael Gordon is the real
owner of' Maple Hill, and I, plain John
Rivers, am his confidential agent and
friend!' le handed me a package. —Mr.
Gordon has made over a part of his fortune
to you, to use as you see fit. May you ex
perience nothing but happiness as mis
tress of '.‘laple Hill, and consider me at
all times your devoted servant, John Riv
ers."
My firEt thoughts were of Amy. "Bow
will Amy bear the disappointment'" I
said.
"Why, I was trying to invent some plan
of escape when fortune aided me. Your
cousin got news from abroad that her
father had made a happy hit in specula
Lion, doubling his fortune. The owner of
Maple Bill lost attraction at once, and in
less than twenty-four hours I received a
note of dismissal. So you sec all is fair
in lore; and your humble servant is as
heart.whole as though Amy DeGrey had
never lived ; and Mr. Gordon has not been
married for his wealth, the fear of which
has been the terror of his life."
Woman-like I twitted my husband of
giving countenance to a lie, and imposing
on his best friends, etc.
And oh! the happy days that followed
in the old house at home. And no peace

is east ; as it will certainly receive awilling
response from any community which know.;
how to appreciate, at its tr'tE) value, sn
much labor expended for its benefit. Cer
tainly none can give this support unwil

ber the direct and immediate advantage
flowing; from a general and hearty recorn
mendation to one's immediate neighbors
and friends of what he has to sell, or ran

Then, too, to know, of a .i.aturd.iy eve
ning, as you open the well-filled columns,
redolent of friends and home. that every
page will bear the mark or some familiar
hand, and discourse ttp3n come topic
of especial domestic interest, is indeed a
delight which the more stately daily. and
even the monthly magazine wrapped in
the daintiest of covers. often fail to impart.
Give a hearty support. then. to the
journal; send in your subscriptions cheer

too something all the time. The trouble
is that no matter what the weather be, no

It is a sin for them to be otherwise.—
They may praise God in wi , rdi morning

The Long Fast
It is well known that bears !:t" with-nt
food for lilany week in the winter, wrap
ped in a long sleep. Hunters do not agree
about their condition when they awake.
S.nne say they ore fat and in good order
for the table ; others that they ar.! lean
and unfit for shnotin:. But :01 aveethat
they sleep for weeks without e.tring
fond.
The male fur seals can fast even longer
than bears. They reach the breeding
islands the first of May, and leave about
the middle of August. Each selects a
spot about ten feet square, and never
leaves it, unless driven away by men or
by a stronger seal, until the timer for mi
gration. During all this time he never
eats nor drinks, but guards his wires and
children with a watchful care never relaxed
So, at least, the natives report, who have
watched their habits for many years. flow
they manage to live and kezp their strength
is a mystery n: - )t easily explained. Rut
nature has made some priivisions f.r them,
as they secni to fare w2ll.
A Pretence.
"I can't afford it—yet I must. I must
have it." No, you must not ; that's a
mistaken idea of yours; don't knnekle to
all the exactions of society. and run into
debt just because you want to be as well
dressed as your wealthy neighbor. If the
money standard is the one that regulates
the social circle to which you are koking.
place your pnrse and your character in
the balance, and then decide whether that
is the place fur you. Do not entertain
the notion that you can draw in advance
on your monthly wages, or borrow an oc
casional "ten" to pay fn. this "fine suit.'
or that "gold-headed cane," and maintain
thereby a worthy standing in any society.
If you would make the most of your tune
and talents, cast from you the cloak of
false appearance, and reveal yourself 2_4
you are—industrious and worthy. eTen if
poor, and find friends who will help you
to be honest by valuing you for yonrself
alone.
