Thou, who dost dwell alone—
Than, who dost know thine own—
Thou, to whom all are known,
From the crodle to the grave—
Save, O save 1
From the world's temptation
From tribulations;
From that fierce anguish
Wherein we languish;
From that torpor deep
Wherein we lie asleep.
Heavy as death, cold ns thogVave—
Save, O Save I
When the soul, growing clearer.
Sees God no nearer;
When the soul, mounting higher,
To God comes no nlgher;
But the arch-fiend Pride
Mounts at her side,
Foiling her high emprise,
Seal In g h er en gl e ey es;
And when we fain would soar,
Makes idols to adore;
Changing the pure emotion
Of her high devotion
To a sUln-deepsenso
Ofherown eloquence;
Strong to deceive, strong to enslave—
Save, O save!
From the Ingrained fashion
Of this earthly nature,
That mars Thy creature;
From grl«?f. that Is but passion;
From mirth, that Is but fcgnlng;
From tears, that bring no healing;
From wild and weak complaining:
Thluo old strength revealing—

From doubt, where all is double,
Where wise iren are not strong;
Where comfort turns to trouble,
WhercJiiKimen suffer wrong;
Where sorrow treads onjoy;
Where sweet things soonest cloy 5
Where faiths are built on dust,-
Whore love is half mistrust,
Hungry, and barren, and sharp os the sea—
O.set ua free!
O, let this false dream fly,
Where our sick souls do He
Tossing continually,
O, where thy voice doth come
Let all doubts be dumb;
Let all words be mild ;
All strifes reconciled;
All pains beguiled.

X NIGHT in a storm.
It waa a private pai ior nf a hotel in the
ncovlneea. Two men nut at a well-spread
hienklnst talilo. The younger had Just
pnahed hack from the table with an Im
patient movement.
>• No ” he aalil abruptly. “ I cannot
eat, I cannot drink. If X believed in
presentiments, I should say I felt n
warning of something diaagreeable. if
not horrible.” , „ , .
• • Well, then, my dear nephea said
(lie elder, " aa you do not believe in such
things why not make yourself corn for
table, and enjoy vonr brcaktaat? "ion
are not to atari until to-morrow, any way,
you know.”
The voting man arose from Ins seat
anti walked tc the window, throwing It
open and looking out Into the frost ,\,
hiilliant attnahlne. y The air was m'en-e
-ty cohl anil reddened his cheeks instant
ly He drew in Ida head, saying :
x S |,„|l start this morning. There a
going to be a atorm. ami I must go. Will
you accompany me to the station c lue
train alatta in an hour."
The iineleahivered.nnd drew hlsdresa
ing gown closer.
o N „oi he saitl, “T il not leave the
house unless I’m obliged to. T did not
leave England to get rozen by a Cana
diatt winter. I did not know you were
ao-pentlnieiitally foolish. Alice will not
thank von for coming a day sooner. Wo
men don't like a bridegroom around witen
tlte wedding preparations are going mi.no
mutter how much in love they are Take
tnv advice and stay here until the lime
appointed for you to start." Robert
the vwinjr man addressed, listen
vA with l»tre civlliiv to his companion s
What was **uch advice in com
parison with the u»pent cries of his
wiude nature? He had left England
ihree weeks I elore to claim the woman
of • is choice, who hart Iv-en three weeks
in Montreal, whither she had emigrated
with her paroi-ts. carrying,with her the
mve and piomlse of one in whom site D -
lieved with utter devotion.
RuHsell’s uncle and adopted fattier had
accompanied liitn, anti now ant smiling
•it tlie impatience, and whim* of youth.
"There la a atorm In tlte air in spite of
litis sunlight,” Russell said, still stand
ing by tlte window. " I should not en
joy being blockaded in by anow on my
■!°o r proh„hly not; hut yon might as well
expect It in litis climate.’’ •
Well, I shall take Alice back to' Eng
land ns soon ns possible," Russell said,
with his hand on tlie door. " Good-bye,
uncle, then, good-bye-”
Bussell waa soon speeding from me
low n, his eyes looking eagerly forward
over the vast stretches of snow, as -if he
would outstrip even tiio steam which
bore him.
He waa not half through his journey
by rail when from the west, where it had
lingered throughout llie-nnny morning,
rose the flinisy, while veil that is the
veil of snow. Weather-wise people
looked out i f the car windows, atm shook
their heads, saying: '
“Tills will lie a hard one. It's jnstn
year ago since the horrible storm that
blockaded this train.”
Russell, looking, felt his fare grow
pallid in spile of his hopes, his youthful
enenrv.
He did not fear the storm while in th«
cars; he knew 1 hey would net to their
destination before the alorm would be
sufficiently advanced to retard, them
much. But he remembered the twenty
miles he must go in a cutter after the mat
station ; lor Alice wailed for him at the
residence of a relative beyond Mon
treal. Her aunt had persuaded
her to have the marriage there,
where wealth could give its ' glow
to the ceremony, and what girl could re
sist such an invitation?
“Ifahe were only in Montreal.” mur
mured Bussell, and the Arid few flakes
began to drift slowly downward. ,
Moon tile air was Ailed with flue, sharp
particles. It gr-w colder Instead of
warmer—or apparently so, fjrtbe wind
rose ami whirled the snow fiercely.
It had snowed two hours when-Bussell
alighted at tire station in Montreal. It
was already dark, save that the gloom
was mitigated hy a full moon.
He was half benumbed by cold and si
tine so long, hut he could not wait, Ken-
Bun told him he was a day early, and
might easily stay m the city until to
morrow ; hut some feverlsn, nmrotu
'haste-urgedhim-on-j-UAvaw-lmposslbleJoJL
him to rest quiet •« moment. .
He stood a lew moments by tne bright
lire in ihe waii4ng-room. Then he de
cided to go to the house occupied by Al
ice’s parents. . . . ...
Arriving at the house, he learned with
dismay that Alice had left two or three
hours previously. Oppressed with fear
ful forebodings, he hurried on U king [he
road w hich his servant supposed her
driver had selected. As he emerged In
to Ihe open count-y. the runueis of the
cullersanU deep In the snow, riiehorMfS
siruggiOd desperately through the drifts,
CARLISLE, PA., THDRSDAY, APRIL 29, 1869.
while the blinding storm and benumb
ing cold almost overpowered him. Tin
arouse himself from the lethargy which
ho felt was the precursor of death, he
stepped out of the sleigh and plodded on
beside It- For hours. It peem«d to him,
lie traveled, alternately walk'ngand rid
ing, the animals he drove being almost
exhausted. Suddenly, with a snort of
surprise or alarm, his horses stopped and
threw up their heads, their eyes starting
in their sockets, at something indistinct
in the gloom ahead. „ 4I . ..
There is something infecting in the
alarm of an animal, and Russell felt his
cheeks pale as he moved slowly forward
leaving the horses standing there.
A shudder like the first chill of an im
pending doom shook the young manias
ho came upon a cutler overturned in the
snow. He was close to It before he
could.make out what it was. There
were no horses attached —that he saw at
u glance—hut the tugs, cut short off. were
fasten* d there. * The snow hftd blown
away from one side of lh« sleigh while
the ot‘>er side was deeply Imbedded,--
He leaped on the runner, and hurriedly
pulled tiiebuffalorobeaaway.nfear coming
up n him such as ho had never known
before. ...
At last.it seemed to him so long,
though It was hardly a moment, In that
snowy moonshine he saw the pallad face
of a woman lying motionless among her
With a surpressed cry he lifted that
beautiful form to bis shoulder, and sat
down on ti e cutter, bending his lips to
the ones that could not respond to his
caress. And yet she was not dead—a
faint breath Just sighed across ids cheek.
Was It Urns he had thought to greet
his promised wife? He could not think
—he knew nothing but that he had found
•Alice, and his whole being rose to the re.
solve that be would save her, that neith
er snow n< r Ice, norcold should take her
fr« m him. B»u- was his, and he claimed
her, despite everything.
But he could not linger there; he must
be moving on, (bough ever so slowly-
He bore Ins burden to his own cutter,
taking with him the furs that could not
save her alter that fearful sleep had be
gun. His horses walked on airuin they
needed nogubllng—they could hud their
way better than man could dbect.
Anything hut intense love would have
despaired In tnat tempest of snow, with
that pitiless wind freezing across the
earth, rising no g ow ou the blue, unite
face against his own.
He loughly, chafed with snow her
hands and face, but lie soon saw that
several measures must be tried ; that the
lethargy was too deep. She dimly felt
the tierce friction, for she moaned and
seemed to shrink fmm It; a wordless re
quest to be ielt alone.
Russell had forgotten the cold for him
self ; the sin w swept by him unheeded.
Again he lifted her In hU arms and step
ped out into the show, letting her stand
beside him, then trying to make her
tight her way on, knowing that If she
could once be aroused she was saved.
At lirat she fell down hopeless'y, i-ank
down Inanimately, with no wish to stir.
But In a moment his ceaseless effors had
some effect, and he could compel her to
use her muscles slightly, though her
head dropped in an unknowing stupor.
Russell felt that be nud never suffered
before. He thought the pain and sor
rows of all his life were crowded Into that
one night. By slow degrees, almost
hopelessly slow, consciousness and hor
rible suffering letumed.
His face was pale anil sick, as he knew
the agonies site enduied. But pain wan
Ihe signal of life, ami not now would he
despa r. ...
At hist she looked at him with recog
nizing eyes, mid when everything hud
fulled love reached the fountain of crlm*
s 01, and sent a wuveof Us red to her face.
Weak, sulletlng, she reclined upon Ins
arm, unable to move or to speak. Could
lie keep Ihe life he had s-.ved through a
much longer journey?
When he lelt Iheeliy there were a few
houses scattered by the roadside for two
or three miles. The dim glimmer ol
their lights lie hud seen ; Ini' since then
lie hud noticed nothing—lt was a waste
through which he was riding, with no
lamp of hope held out.'o him. And the
delicate girl, but lia.f resuscitated, her
th iitgl t—oh, how malty miles belore
half hour passed, ami through Bus
sell's brave soul had already darted the
tim doubt, human endurance could not
Inst forever, and it was more than he
could do to pteservo tin- feeble life he hail

Nellie Benson was the belle of the set
tlement. iShe had never Been a city In
her life —not even a village, unless tlie
siores at the cross mads, and the black
smith shop, and tho lot' cburon, and
school-house which kept It company,
might be called one.
Bhe was a beauty and a blonde—not of
the negative, albino type, alike charac
terless and bloodless, but with a complex
ion rudlent with life, and which seemed
to have borrowed a tinge from her wavy,
luxuriant tresses; jrizzled sunbeams, Hill
Elkins said they were, but you will
make allowance for Bill when you come
to know him belter. Golden,you might
have ventured to call them; but hud
you presumed to have called them reef,
it would have taken at least a dozen pre
liminary tights to have decided to whom
belonged the right, to -ay nothing of tho
honor of chastising your insolence.
By the lime Nellie was sixteen, every
stripling In the settlement old enough to
be trusted to go hunting by hlmsell ei
ther was or hud been In love with her.
No, there was one exception. Bill El
kins had escape 1 the .general contagion.
His lime wusso fully taken up in making
fun of the others, that he hud none ielt
for anything serious on private account.
Which of all her admirers Nellie liked
best was « secret w*dch if she knew it,
she had never divulged, even to herself.
George Westbrook was son of
a gentleman who hud sought with the
remnant of his fortune, a home for him
sell and family on tho Western frontier
Mr. Westbrook hud lost his life In a ties
perule encounter between the settlers
and Indians, some years before the com
mencement of our story, leuvl..g his wife
and son no other provision than the tract
of land ho had purchased, most of which
is covered b> tho finest.
Loft self-dependent at an ago thus ear
ly, the.natural energy of George’s elm--
acter seemed ai once to spring iilto full
development. With the aid of an occa
sional helping hand, and hie mother’s
judicious counsel, he had been able not
only to support himsell and her, but lo
supply their humble home with many a
simple comfort unknown to many ol
tnetr wealthier nelghbois. He had found
time besides.tocontinue thestudles he hud
begun under ids lather's guidance, amt
nud ina te himself a better scholar, and
was lar belier informed, Ilian hundreds
of those whose acquirements are vouch
ed lor in burbarious Emin, on college
sheepskin.
Wo would do him Injustice not lo add
that be was him Isome enough to (ill bis
mother’s heart with pride, and to have
caused those of nls companions to burst
with envy, hud they suspected him
lliesli blest inclination for Ncl.ie. But
tlie two had been so reserved in em-n
otiier's presence us to convey an ioiple.-
sion that tlie feeling between them was
one of indifference. This opinion Bill
Elkins,who was it great trioud ol George,
took pains, for some unaccountable r* a*,
sou, lo strengthen—at the same lime, m
strict contideiiee, lipping himsell a wink
ol inward satisfaction.

George and Nellie of o mrse saw much
of each, of,er. In their earlier years
they plated and lead story-books togeth
er mid sometimes lell out, as chi dreu
will As they grew older, I hev became
lest familiar; feeling they

What brought so elegant and refined

our blandest bow—so fur beyond the pule

to inquire. It wasn't t;. buy land-be

It was probably to kill a few butlulo, or

At all events be came armi dam accoutr

favorably his own uwkwar l and discon

the self-possessed and gruceiul ease or
the city top, the flrst and only ilme he
met Mm In Nellie’s presence.
Young Huntingdon bud b*eu morn
than usually brilliant. Ho had talked
nothings, ula true, hut he bud talked
them well, so well that George was halt
convinced that was where his strength
lay, and once or twice had sought to turn
ihe conversation in a different channel.
Whether his efforts had been foiled by
superior cleverness nr cool Impudence,
was a question he found himself much
perplexeo to decide. He more than sus
pected he hud been ridiculed to his face,
and before her’p. No wonder that the
next meeting of George and Nellie enueu
in a bluer qiqyrel, and a parting with
out an explanation.
The hunting excursion on which inn
Elkina hud promised lo take Ins new ac
quaintance was, by Bill’s advice, deferr-
He bad lately seen signs of Indi
ans la the forest and though he felt eve
ry confidence in hit* own and his friend s
prowess If anything should happen, it
would certainly hurt somebody's heart,
which would be very null to think of.—
Tile bout was indefinitely postponed,
and Mr Uuugtlngdoii became more par
ticular tliau ever, in bis attentions to
Nellie. , , „
One n'ght the younger people of the
settlement bad uaseinh ed "U one of those
occasions, which young people will ai-
ways Aim) of getting together. Nellie
Benson am) Clarence Huntingdon, as
usual, were inseperuble; am) In more
than one whimpering group the question
was discussed, when .It was be.
Among so many disappointed aspirants,
the stranger's Hiicce*a might have proved
a dangerous triumph, but each consoled
his own chagrin by the satisfaction he
ftdt at that of Ida neighbor,
Mr. Benson’s house was more than two
miles distant, and the houorof escorting
Nellie home was awarded to Mr. Hun*
tlngdon. The path lay through the den
sest part of the forest, but the moon
shone brightly, the lovers’ dreams are
not of danger.
As her attendant grow more than usu
ally poetical. Nellie began to find him
just a little tiresome, ami caught herself
.wondering whether, after all. the slor-,
ling good sense of George 1 Westbrook
wasn’t a more desirable accomplishment
limn the ability to talk nonsense in strict
accordance with the rules of grammar.
Whatever might have been the result
of her reflection, she was startled from
them by a horrible yell; and, at the same
instant, a hideous savage, frightfully
painted and brandishing his tomahawk,,
sprang Into the open moonlight a- few
feet In advance.
Nellie convulsively clung to the arm
.of her companion, who stood for a mo
ment petrified with fright; ami then
tearing himself away, and leaving the
defenseless gl»I to her fate, fled for life
with n speed of which soon curried him
out of the leach of peril.
As the savage utoope l over the form of
the swomilng girl, be was sprung upon
with u bound as -udden as bis own ; and
with one hand George Westbrook seized
him by the thro it, ami with the other
hand snatched the tomahawk from his
grasp, and raised it to strike.
Before the blow hud lime to fait, the
young man’s arm was arrested by an ex
clamation, in a familiar voice:
*‘Hang It, George, be careful I—don’t
you see It's me ?”
“ What! Bill Elkins 1”
“ Don't you sec it la? Let me gol”
“But 1 what Is the meaning of this?
Your folly has killed her; and 11 It
has—
“ If it lias, you may finish up the joy
you were hi such a hurry to begin just
now. I only wanted to show whut a
cowardly sneak that Hungllngdon was
ami may be took a wrong way of doing
it. Hut see—she’s coming to. Good
nlt'lir. itn• (keep a sharp lookout for more
Indians.”
Hilt was off.
Hunting never stopped until he reach
cml the house from which hestar'ed. He
was in the midst of a thrilling narrative
ofalorrlhle hand 10-hund conflict with
a band of blood-thirsty savages by whom
Nellie Henson hail been carried off and
himself overpowered, though ho had ll
ally Hicceeded In cillting his way
through a host of enemies, when Bill El
kins in full paint and leathers, stalked
in. and. as they say in Hamlet, stood
and unfolded himself.
Mr. Huntingdon did not stay nil night
in that settlement* Nor did he ever
come hack to take hie promised hunt
with Hill. Poor fellow! his end was
melancholy—he returned to the haunts
ol civilization, and at an early age, filled
a politician’s grave. '
If George Westbrook hndn’t saved
Nellie’s life, he hud shown his readiness
to do it, and the will was taken for tfce
deed. They were married at last; nnd
many, many years afterward, the writer
of this went to school with their grand
children.
