Thou of the sunny head, With lilies garlanded, And bosom fairer thaa the blown sea-foam -0 Spring! in what waste desert dolt thou stay, Whilst leaves await thy presence to unfold, The branches of the limb with frost are gray, And all imprisoned in the crocus gold. Come, sweet Enchantress ! come. Though in the sombre West Thy star has lit its crest— . _ Pale Phosphor fronting full the withered moon— Thy islets are serlultured in snow; Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun ; Rude winds throughout the ruined forests blow, And silent Is the dove's melodious moan. Enchantress! hasten soon. White are the country ways, And white and tangled maze— Loved of the oxelip and the creeping thyme : Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge; Cold glooms the spectral 'mid above the flood ; Hoarse torrents stream beneath the ivied bridge ; And lightnings strike the darkness of the wood. Enchantress ! bless our clime! No bloom of dewy morn, No freshly-blossomed thorn, Gladdens the importuuings of sad eyes; The day wastes drearily through cloud and sleet; Over the watered meadows and stark vales The night comes down impetuous and fleet, And ships and cities shiver in the gales. Oh, fair Enchantress! rise. Arise! and bring with thee The rathe-bud for the tree, The healing sunshine for the trampled g•ass— Loose tendrils for the boughs which bless the eaves, _ . . And shield the swallows in the rainy hours— The pendant flames which the laburnum heaves, And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac flowers Enchantress ! breathe and pass. Men knew an 1 kissed of old Thy garment's glittering tokl— Thy radiant footprint on the mead of waste; Earth kindled at tbine advent, altars hurried, And ringing cymbals bade the hearths be gay; But now in sunless solitudes inurned, Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant Day. Oh, baste! Enchantress, haste! The lark shall sing again Between the sun and rain; The brown bee through the flowered pastures roam; There shall be music in the frozen wood— A gurgling carol in the rushing brook— And odor in the half unbosomed bud, And dancing fox-gloves in each forest nook ! Then come ! Enchantress, come ! Lie *torß-F,tlitr. TRUE TO THE LAST. The most pretentious house in the vil lage of Brookhaven was inhabited by Mr. Silas Brower, a wealthy manufacturer, who left the noisy city early every spring, and came to the country, where he remained until the frosts nipped the splendid roses that bloomed in his garden, when he re turned to his mansion in the city. Mr. Brower was a wealthy man, presi dent of a bank, director of a railroad, war den of the most fashionable church in the city, and one of the most important manu facturers of cotton fabrics in the Middle States. He was a widower, but his house was regulated by his widowed sister, a Mrs. Thorp, an excellent person, who, after a life of pecuniary trial, had come to her brother's house to remain content, so long as it was permitted her to enjoy the good things of this naughty world. Mr. Brower had an only child, fifteen years of age.— Her dame was Sophie. Of course she was the pet and darling of the household, and though sbe was not to be called pretty, yet there was something about her so attractive that she was a great favorite- where she was known. In the village of Brockhaven there lived a Mrs. Leslie, whose husband had once been in prosperous circumstances, and who had been known to Mr. Brower. The poor man had been dead many years, and his widow earned a precarious livelihood by the use of her needle. Enoch Leslie was about sixteen years of age. He was a strange boy. He did not laugh and play as other boys of his age did, and there was an air of mingled pride and timidity in his manner, a shadow on his young face, and a look of melancholy earnestness in his large, dark eyes. He used to come to Mr. Brower's house for his mother's work, and when it was com pleted he always returned with it. His dealings were invariably with Mrs. Thorp. But Sophie had often observed him, and gradually became interested in him. One day Sophie said to him : "Why is it, Enoch, that you so frequently wear an unhappy look ?" and she laid her small white hand upon his own, and gazed in. quiringly into his eyes. The boy started and almost seemed af frighted. "Come, tell me, Enoch," pleaded the girl, "for it makes me unhappy to see you sad." Enoch Leslie gazed on the girl with a sort of dumb amazement, and at length he replied slowly : "Makes you unhappy ? Did you say it made you unhappy to see me sad ?" "Yes, that is what I said," returned Sophie; "I feel a great interest in you, Enoch. Why do you look at me so strangely ?" Enoch Leslie seated himself n ear S )ph ie's side and replied : "I have never had much pleasure in life," he said. "The most of my happi ness is comprised in reading books. I am older than my years, and I cor.stantly feel a fire burning in my heart that my mother tells me I am too young to understand She says it's a bad sign. They call it am bition, but what can one as poor and friendless as I am have to do with am bitious hopes ?" "Everything—everything," murmured Sophie "I think if papa knew all this he would do something for you." "Not a word to him," returned the boy. "I am speaking to you, and you must not repeat what I say to a living soul. I said there was a fire in my heart, an eternal longing to be somebody, to do some great thing; in short, to have my name known and spoken of. I often dream strange dreams about it; and, Sophie, if I live I shall, I think, some day be worthy of your regard. When Sophie went to bed that night she fell asleep thinking of Enoch Leslie. Very happy for Sophie was the next three months. She saw Enoch frequently, for she visited the Widow Leslie's cottage al most daily, carrying her fresh flowers and little delicacies prepared by the hand of the good Aunt Thorp. But with the first tint of' the autumn leaves came the dark ness of the shadow of death to the Leslie cottage. It was late in the afternoon, and the red sun was sinking behind the trees when Enoch Leslie came running in haste up the lane, exclaiming, as he caught sight of Mrs. Thorp : "Oh ! please go to my mother, for I fear she is dying." The next instant he was dashing away at the top of bis speed for the cottage.— Snatching up her bonnet, Mrs. Thorp left the house, accompanied by Sophie, who t:C 0 Co Co HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1877. insisted upon going with her. The appre hension of Enc,ch was too well founded.— Mrs. Leslie was seated in a large chair, while a thin current of blood treikled down the corners of her white lips and stained her garments. She was dying of a hem orrhage of the lungs. Her cold fingers moved nervously amid the curls of her son's head, she gave a sharp, quick sigh, and Enoch Leslie knelt motherless. A week passed away—a sad and mourn ful week to Enoch Leslie. One morning he came over to Mr. Brower's, and calling Sophie aside, told her he had come to say good-bye. That he was going out into the world to make a name that would make him worthy of the love of his friends. Sophie swallowed down the sob that was in her throat, as she said : "And you will not quite forget me, Enoch ?" "Forget you, Sophie," " the young man responded. "Not until the grass is long and thick over the spot where I lay." Seven years passed away, and brought a change over the Brower family. One of those sudden and unforseen business calamities came upon Silas Brower, and from wealth he passed at once to theranks of the million who win their bread from day to day upon the most uncertain tenure. Good Mrs. Thorp had passed away from the world's stage, and was consequently spared the pain f witnessing her brother's misfortune. Mr. Brower had always been considered a man of great strength of character, but his calamities were too great for him, and in a moment of insanity, he cast himself from a steamer and was drowned. It was now that the troubles of poor Sophie really began. Her father hai a younger brother with whom he had not been on terms of intimacy fur years Either family Fride or a tardy compassion induced him to offer Sophie a home. The fact of her having no other alternative in duced her to accept her uncle's invitation, and a few weeks after her father's death found her an inmate of Herbert Brower's home. Here she was treated with studied ne glect, and was duly subjected to mortifica tions that caused the most bitter tears.— Often she thought of' Enoch Leslie, and wondered if he was still living. Her uncle had two daughters somewhat older than herself, and it seemed they were never so well contented as when they had an op portunity of wounding her feelings. Shortly after Sophie's arrival they were to give a grand party in honor of a literary lion, who was the favorite of the hour.— Sophie never heard his name till the day before the grand event was to come off, and then she understood it was the talented Mr Leslie. "We are sorry we can't invite you to be present," said the elder girl, "for we shall be uncomfortably crowded as it is ; besides, we wish your services superintending the servants." Poor Sophie sank back in her seat and would have wept, could she have escaped the presence of her cousins. "I don't believe that rumor of' his being engaged to the handsome Miss Lennox," said the younger, addressing the elder sister. "Jane, be sure you have his works conspicuously displayed upon the centre table; the books are splendidly illustrated." "Engaged ! engaged !" The words rang in Sophie's ears like a knell. "Was this his truth ? 'Was this his constancy ?" Excusing herself upon the plea of not feel ing well, she sought her room and gave vent to bitter tears. With a heart almost bursting with grief, she arose from her seat and paced the room. She would leave her uncle's house; not a day longer than was necessary would she remain beneath the roof. She bathed her eyes in cold water and hastily dressed herself, and went forth to seek employment Yea, she would go into some family as a servant rather than suffer the humiliation she was forced to undergo from her relatives. Scarcely knowing where she went, she walked rapidly on until she reached the suburbs of the city. - There was a small park before her, and she entered it and sat down upon a bench beneath the shade of a tree. How long she sat there she never knew, fur she fell into a train of musing from which she was aroused by -a foot-fall and an exclamation of "Sophie, my Sophie, is it really your self?" and. looking up, saw Enoch Leslie rushing toward her. Time had wrought but little change in him ; the deep, dark eyes and the expres sion of the face was still the same. He had grown manly, and his boyish diffidence had given place to easy and elegant man ners, but in every other particular he ap peared the same Enoch Leslie. He seated himself' beside Sophie, and she related her unhappiness and her resolution of leaving her uncle's roof. A dark frown settled upon Enoch's face as he listened to the narration of her wrongs. "Leave everything to me, darling," he replied. "Only promise to be governed by use in this particular case. But before we speak further, tell me, dearest, will you be my wile?" She laid her hand in Enoch's, and look ing into his eyes, said : "Oh ! Enoch, if you but knew how, in the long years that have passed, I have yearned for these words, you would believe the when I tell you there is nothing on earth I so much value as your love, there is no title I so much long for as that of your wife." Sophie returned to her uncle's, in com pliance with the wishes of Enoch Leslie, but her heart was no longer heavy or her eyes dull. Her cousins marveled at the alacrity and cheerfulness with which she assisted to prepare for the entertainment that was to occur that evening. Evening came, the lights blazed brightly, and Sophie, as she sat alone in her little chamber, could hear the hurrying to and fro of many feet, and the rumbling of car riage wheels as they drew up before the door. Gorgeous chandeliers poured their silver light through Mr. Brower's drawing rooms, and music and laughter came rip pling up the winding stairs to Sophie's room. But she did not bury her face in her hands and weep as she formerly had done. A placid, sweet smile was upon her face, and her eyes beamed, as if it were, with a holy trust. She knew that all the honor that her heart could desire was be ing lavished on him who, at last, had come to her and asked her to be his. When the guests were gone and stillness once more reigned in the house, Sophie sought her pillow, and dreamed one of those glorious old dreams of her girlhood. Oh ! it was sweet, on waking, to gaze upon the bright sun, for her to know, ere the day -iosed, Enoch Leslie would come to sef Jer and whisper sweet words to her heart again. Punctually at noon the doorbell rang, and Mr. Leslie sent his card to the Misses Brower, and they immediately came into the parlor with smiling faces to welcome the favorite of the hour. "I believe," said Mr. Leslie, after a brief remark or two, "that you have a cousin living with you that I formerly knew ?" cousin ? a cousin ?" repeated the younger Miss Brower, as if trying to recollect. "Oh ! yes, you must mean Sophie. Poor thing, papa offered her a home after her father's death, You, I suppose, know all about his misfortune.— Papa and his brother were not on good terms. Some business disagreement, I be lieve. They didn't speak Such things will occur, you know, in families." Mr. Leslie nodded and said : "I should like very mueh to see Miss Sophie." `'Surely you don't mean that ?" cried both girls in chorus. "What an idea!— Why, Sophie will be as much amazed as we are. Do you really wish her brought into the parlor, Mr. Leslie ?" "I would be very much obliged to you if you would gratify my wish," replied Enoch, in a studiously polite and measured voice. "Oh, dear certainly, certainly," re turned the elder Miss Brower. "I will convey your message myself, if you will excuse we for a moment," and she ran up stairs to Sophie's room. "There's a gentleman down stairs, So• phie, who desires to see you. I believe you knew each other years ago. Come and see him ; but I wish you to particularly remember and leave after you have had some conversation with him. You can ex cuse yourself upon the plea of having something to do about the house. He is our guest, and I do not wish you to mo nopolize his time." "I will be there in a few minutes," re plied Sophie, and her cousin descended again to the drawing room. "YoU'll find your friend much changed, I dare say," remarked Miss Brower.— "Poor thing, she has known so much trouble that she instinctively shrinks from society. Our families never visited during her father's time, and we never saw her until papa sent for her to come among us." Enoch Leslie did nut reply ; he was listening to a light step upon the stair, and a moment more and Sophie entered the room, and advancing straight toward him held out both her hands, which he seized with an affectionate grasp. "Ladies," he said, drawing Sophie closer to his side, "permit me to announce to you my engagement to Miss Sophie Brower. Here you behold my affianced bride." Both the Misses Brower gave a short, hysterical scream, arid made Mr. Leslie repeat the remark ere they would credit it "You naughty girl:" exclaimed the elder cousin,hypoeritically,tapping, Sophie's cheek. "You naughty girl, to have kept this secret from us l" There was consternation in the Brower mansion that day, and far and wide flew the news of Enoch Leslie's coming mar riage. If Sophie's cousins had hated her previously, they absolutely abhorred and detested her then, and their animosity never abated. "To think of such a thing as that mar. rying that splendid Enoch Leslie! What on earth he saw in that creature I can't imagine. So much for papa giving the minx a home with us." * * * * * * Ten years later there stood a fine brick mansion on the site of the Widow Leslie's cot at Brockhaven, and Enoch and k=ophie were gazing out of the window at their young son, who was playing upon the lawn. Up among the trees the spire of the little church rose brightly in the set ting sun. In that churchyard lay the ashes of the poor widow. Sophie cast her eyes in that direction, and the last words of Mrs. Leslie came to her mind, and lay ing her hand upon her husband's shoulder, she looked into his eyes and murmured : "He 'lath remembered His covenant with the fatherless." (flect The Eastern Question and the War. To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean. Such of us as have not the time at our command to fully read up and keep pace with the causes and history of the seemingly impending war in Europe as the news appears from day today in the Inter-Ocean, would still like to be made acquaint ed with the "lay of the land." In other words, would like a plain and short account of the causes which will produce the war, and what Ressil wants and what Turkey wants, and why it would draw iu other Europenn powers. Not one laboring or busy man in three, in this country, knew the caus es and results of the late Franco-German war. Can't the ist,r-Oceun set us all right in regard to this war, that we may intelligently watch its pro gress, and greatly oblige. THOUSANDS. The causes of the trouble between Rll3 sia and Turkey are remote, and the many complications .leading to existing difficul ties cannot be easily understood without a close study to the political history of mod ern Europe. Primarily of a religious na ture, what is now generalized as the East ern question gradually became a political problem involving the existence of some nations, the commercial supremacy of oth ers, and the . success or defeat of distinctive national policies. The Christain Church was for many centuries a united body, with power cen feting at Rome. When Constantine made Constantinople the capital of the Roman Empire, the Bishop of the new capital be carne the rival of the Roman Pontiff, and aspired to exclusive dominion over the church. This led to a bitter quarrel, and finally to separation between the East and the West—between the Greeks and Lat ins. Constantinople remained the actual capital of the Roman Empire, and the head of the Eastern or Greek Church, while Rome was the head of the Latin or Roman Catholic Church, The western portion of the empire was overrun by the northern barbarians, and several kingdoms were founded on the ru ins. Charlemagne united these in one em pire, of which France was the head, with recognition of Rome as the head of the Western Church. All this time the East ern or Greek Empire had been in exist ence, with Constantinople as the head of the church and the seat of government. The West was hostile to the East, and church and national policies were shaped on this basis The crusaders of the West even went so far as to turn aside from their attempts to recover Jerusalem from the Turks, to capture and pillage Constantino ple, the capital of the Christians of the East. The blow was a serious one, and from it dates the decline of the Eastern or Greek Empire. The empire and the church went down with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. The Turkish pol icy was to trample out the religion of the East, as well as the political spirit, and cen turies of cruel struggle ensued. The Christians of the northern sections found a friend in young Russia. That nation adopted from the first the Greek faith and worship, and became its champion. The struggling nations of the East turned nat urally to her, and she rose rapidly in pow er. She inherited the quarrel with the Catholic powers of the West, sod all her people bated the Turk. Her natural pol icy was relentlessly aggressive. Her aim was to repossess the countries of the past ern Empire. and above all, to re-capture Constantinople. That city was to the !Las sian the holy city, and in rounding out the boundaries of his empire, he, in the earlier stages of the struggle, never loot eight of the purpose to regain the old capital. This spirit, entering into a national policy, be came threatening to Western Europe, and as the government of Russia schemed for commercial as well as political ascendency. the commercial nations of - the West shaped their policy to oppose any such consumma tion. This feeling entered into all Aiwa ces and combinations, and the West, being strong politically and commercially. has prevailed. The West drove the Turk from every state or nation, but she hao re sisted every attempt of the East to drive the same people from her old empire. This is one phase of the case. Politically. Russia has always been the friend and ally of every nation opp sed to the Turk. She has been in sympathy with the rebels in every revolutionary or insur rectionary movement in Turkey, because the insurrectionists were Christians of the Greek Church She early conquered Mel davia and Wallacbi, and compelled Turkey to grant concessions to the Christians of other northern provinces. The war of; 1828-9 grew out of her interference in he halt' of the Greeks in their struggle for liberty a few years before. She undertook this war, however, under pledges to 4:reit Britain and France that it should not be a war of conquest. If Russia abserbed Turkish Territory. gaining absolute eon trul of the Black Sea. and valuiblJ ports on the Mediterranean, the comm.,reial in terests of the Western nations would sutler. and on this ground the Turk was teeter than the Russian. Russia made peace l when she had virtually con Tiered Turkey. and this was ' - in the interest of Ewer. - Russia was content with treaty stipaia tions looking to the protection of the Ceris tiaras. Kinglake contends that the origin of the Crimean war in 1853 was a quarrel Ire tween the Greek and Latin Churches as to privileges at Jerusalem Turkey, infin..nee.l by Louis Napoleon, till - Orel the Rontin Church, and the complication; 101 to irri tation, and the irritation to war. Rossi.' taking up thc old quarrel of the Greek Church, and, claiming that the existing treaties had been violated, invaded Turkey. Great Britain and France formed an aili ante with Turkey, and Russia WIS com pelled to make peace on their terms. While Russia made war in the name ef persecuted Christians, England and France made war not so much in the interest of the Turk as in the interest of Western Europe. Their scheme, in the event of the dismemberment of Turkey, was to form an independent nation of the Christien provinces of Turkey, and thus remove the cause of Russian irritation. Russian in fluence was met on its own ground and counteracted. The result of the defeat of Russia at Sevastopol was the treaty of Paris, in which the Eastern question was taken out of her hands, and committed to the great powers of' Europe. All troubles as to the Christians in Turkey were to be considered in common, and no one nation was to act independently except under giv en circumstances. The Black Sea was opened to the fleets of all nations, but no war vessels of Russia or Turkey were al lowed in its waters. Russia was to disarm, and the fortifications on the Black Sea exist were to be dismantled. The Chrie thin provinces of Wallachi and Moldavia, lying between Austria and Turkey, were formed into the independent principality of Roumania, and placed under the guar dianship of Europe. In 1870 when France was powerless and England embarrassed, Russia receded from certain provisions of the treaty or Paris, and placed a war fleet on the Black Sea. She began the work of putting her arms on a war footing, and, under various pre tenses, made ready for the coming strug gle. The llerzogovinian insurrection of two years ago was the rebellion of the Chris tians of that province against Turkish tax ation and persecution. Servia was drawn into the conflict. And as Servia wes a creation of the treaty of Paris (mede semi independent under the rule of native prin ces and placed under the protection of the European powers, although tributary to Turkey), all Europe became incidentally interested. European interference com pelled a truce. and negotiations were com menced looking to permanent peace. Roe-1 sia secretly assisted Servia in the struegle against Turkey, and demanded that the great powers should interfere in behalf ef the Christians of the northern provinces. Certain reforms were demanded, and these met the approval or England, France. Ger many, and Austria. Turkey adopted a new constitution and announced her in tention to carry out referms herself Rus sia held that this W 33 a mere promise, and demanded that certain plans should be t'ul lowed. Turkey rejected all plans and de nied the right of any power to interfere Russia proposed the protocol, published some days since, suggesting a basis of peace. The great powers signed this, but Turkey rejected it. and, in rejecting it, denied the right of Europe to manage the Eastern question or to dictate any policy to the Turkish government. Russia, hold ing herself warranted in such action, pro poses to enforce the demands for reform made by herself. This leaves the other powers free to act, by the terms of the agreement or protocol, as they deem best. While Turkey clings to the treaty of Par is the other powers hold that she has prac tically ignored it. Montenegro has been for two centuries a bone of contention. The Turks claimed it as a part of the Ottoman Empire, but the Montenegrins resisted every attempt to subdue them, and as early as the begin ning of the eighteenth century asked the aid of Russia. For many years Montene gro has been a semi-independent State an der the protection of Russia. And when ever there has been a rebellion or insur rection in the Christian provinces of Tur key, Montenegro, with or without the en couragement of Russia, has plunged into the conflict. She was fighting in 1861, and she joined Servia io the late war with Turkey, and it is to be noticed that while the Servians were defeated the Montene grins were not. The question of peace with Montenegro is now one of the ele ments contributing to present complica tions. As to the present attitude of the nations little can be said with certainty. The an cient Turkish policy was to crush and vir• tually enslave the Christians conquered. It meant neither toleration nor considera tion. The interference of Raesia and oth er nations has secured a !nat.:nestles of this policy, and now Turkey expresses a willingness to carry out all needed reforms. -_l who denial,' war, en it is the Turk•. teth er than tha Snlian, who defy hone. a_ tht the one hood.
