THI QUESTS OF THE HEART.
Soft falls through' the gathering twilights
Tl)o rain from’lho dripping oaves, -
And htlra with a tremulous rustle ~
• The dead and the dying lo ves;
Whilst afar In the midst of the shadows,'
I hear the sweet voicis<-f the bolls
Come homo on the wind of the Autumn,
That fitfully rises and swylis.
They call and they answer each other—
They answer and mingle again—’
As the rtfcep the shrill In an anthem
Make harmony gtlll In their strain;
As the voices of sdhtlnels mluglo
" In mountainous regions of snow,
Till from hill top to hill too a chorus
below. 4
The shadows, the flre-ligbt of oven,
Thesound of the rain's distant chime,
Como bringing, with rjiln eofth’dropping,
Sweet thoughts of a shadowy time;
The slumberous sense of‘seclusion.
From storm and-intruders aloof,
Wo feel when wo hear In the midnight
The patter ofrtluou the roof.
When tho spirit goes forth in Its yearnings,
To lake all its wanderers homo,
Or, afar lu llie regions of fancy
DeUghln on swift pinions to roam,
I quietly sit by tho firelight-
Tho fholight so bright und so warm—
For I know that those only who love me
WlU'bouU iuo through shadow andstoruj.
But should they bo absent this evening,
Hiould even tho household depart—
Deserted, I should not be lonely; .
There still would be guoaW lu my heart,
Tint faces of ITMids that I cherish.
The smile, aml tho ulunco, ami tho tone,
Will haunt me wherever J. wuncloi;
And thus I um never uh tie.
with those who have lo r t f.ir behind them .
The J )ys and the sorrows of tim. 1 —
Who sing the sweet songs of the angola
In a purer and holier clime!
Then datkly, evening o) Autumn,
Your ram and your shadows may fall;
My loved and niv lost one» you bring mo—
My heai t holds a feast with them 'til,

I beg of, all not lo despise it for the
homely dress it will Ge-arrayed In. I
mean it to be so, the plaih common garb

and woven from home-made materials.
I am wrhhtff tills us if I was perfectly
sure of Its being accepted by (hut formid
able person, •theediim/ who is often
tlnies by no means easy to suit. This
much bv way of preface.
• Dora Newby, the subject of. my tale—T
eannnt call her heroine—was llie only
child of lie'r father—a substantial, well
to-do fanner, ami a widower. Ah a mat
ter of course, Dora grew up pelted and
weli-niffit spoiled. Bite was imturnMy
Inclined to he.self-willed, petulant ami
selfish; ami the want of a mother 1 * guid
ing, and a kind. ea«»y father’s spoiling, In
no little measure Increased andatrength
entd all her failings. She grew up wild
and untaught, save what it, pleased her
self to learn tty »,»a
She irrew aho prettlerwilh every passing
year, until alie reached the age of eight
een, nmlwnstliena petted, Spoiled young
woman with plenty of admirers, for she
.was the village heiress as well as its
belie. ■
Dora did not believe in having only
one string to her how. She wanted more
and she -kept two always on hand. A
Inrge well-built man named Binuvtli
waile, and a liltK smart, aelive one
named Benjamin Binhmond,- were lier
two favored swains. Slip tyrannized over
both of them, and kept them in a com
slant stale of nneertnlnty. enoonraulng
now one, then tire oilier, as lha humor
suited lier. and this not for weeks or
months only, hot for yearn. Five long
years site kepi them hnlh attached to her
’until their patience was well-nigh tired
not. ...
' Dorn was rjnlek enough to see this, and
had half resolved to make’ up her mind,
and determine in Ihe favor of one or the
oilier, when fate ilselfdeeidvlthe matter
for her sooner Ilian aim intended.
Newby Grange was an old fashioned
farm limise, wiili all,tlieold appliances of
large oloapts. wide chimneys, arid a ca
pacious brick oven. This oven was In
ihe silting room, and heated hy a flue
from the large lire of the kitchen. The
sililng rooin had two hay-windows over
looking Die garden; ami these, hay win--
■ lows were the places where her love
making L'Plterallv went on.
Am I Imve'.eaid, live years’ courtship
had been the hard, nnretpileled servitude
of both her followers, when one day, a
Saturday, in Ihe ninny tnonrtrof dune—
Beit ntehmond was seen hy tile watch
ing. expectant -Dora coming np the gar
den pi,ill lo pay Ids usual week’y visit,
with nn tinnsnal resolve and deterndea
(ion on Ills face. It- was so. The loi'g,
hot. walk had lirnl Idm, and lie had
come fullv determined that day lo know
his,fate, either to,tie accepted or rejected
without aov longer fno’ing. Born intui
tively felt, dial to day. at last, site eon Id
no longer trifle, and felt annoyed at (lie
thought of belli}! driven up into a comer
partly from idtjtle. parity from wi’fnlnesa
detetmined to say no, shortly and llatly,
to Ida request.
All Tn vain were poor Ben’s earnest
entreaties and passionate pleadings; aM
in vaiit, his long, weary ivaiilng, and lie
gave it up weii-nigh in despair.
He made, however, one last attempt,
one final append, when, in Ihe midst of
his talking, they heard (he garden ga'e
eretik on its hinges, and, looking out, saw
ihe tall form of Joint Kmurtliwalle strid
ing up Hie path- i .
Now it SO happened BmurMiwaite hnd
pome ns well that very dav. big with the
same resolves that possessed lien. Here
was a to do. Well did Bora know how
Bimirtliwaite had vowed that If ever he
caught Ben in the net .if poaching, as lie
termed it. on Ida ground lie would inflict
on him such bodily punishment as lie
would tint easily forget.
There was no lank of courage in little
Ben, hut still he felt a.id knew lie was
utterly- unable in physical strength lo
compete with Smurlhwaite. What was
to lie done ? ....
Poor .Ben I fear of punishment, and
still greater fear of any appearance of
cowardice before Dora, tugged hard at his
heart. Data herself decided tite matter.
Him wished no lighting or disturbance,at
least in her presence.
•Here, quick, Ben,’ she said trying the
■ two cuphoartTdoors in the room, ‘come in
here until lie goes.’ Alas! the doom were
locked amlthe keys up stairs m her bed
room.
‘Whatever ahull Idol* she ejaculated;
her eye lighted mi iheotd-fashloned oven
—the very place she thought, and open
ing Ihe door in crept Ben. Scarcely was
he safely stowed In, when smurih wuilo
entered the room. . ...
Long, very long* he eat. and, like Ben
hefoie him, plead hla cause and urged his
Hjiit with no encouragement, from Dora.
He was interrupted, however, In the
midst of 'his most pathetic appeal hy a
loud thump, where from he could not tell.
*Wlm« is that,Dora?* he inquired. ‘Only
the rattukwaa the answer Again he be
gan his entreaties, again to be interrupt-
J.l hy another Ion*) knock and the sound
of a votes anil up and halt smothered,
‘For Ood’s sake let me out I* it cried, ‘X

Dora remembered all too lute that it
was baking day, aud,lhe servant in tuo
kitchen, nil nnwoiilngof thearrangeoo

dumpernnd-lef hi (he heat.
Kre Durst could reach (ho door, It flew
open and out tumbled Ben,, hot and an*
gry. before the astonished gazeofSmurih
walie.
‘John,' fluid Ben, ns soon ns he could
speak, ‘take nay claim to Dora. . I have
done with her. I always heard love-mak
ing was warm work, hut never so hot in
E have found It. Good bye. Dora; Edo
not choose being naado a cake of like to
day;* and he left them. HmurthwiUte
ami Dora both laughed; they could not
help it; and as, he felt how ludicrous
qny.more attempts at love-making would
be, he also, very shortly after, left. Left,
and never returned again, and so Dora
lost them both£
Young ladies; all take my advice. Keep
one string to your bow, if you find it a
one, and do not
play with two
. For a few months l) *ra was loverless—
when, at length, a third appeared in the
person of John Vunno’e, mH, after a
short, a very short prdhatb n, was accep
ted ; for (line was passing with her, ami
both her former admires had taken .to
themselves partners less ohdura'c than
hersoT, and Doradid not care, to live and
die an obi maid.
John Vwnnote and his wife soon* too
soon, however, found out how unsuited
they were for e»CU other—too soon for
their happiness, too late, however, Ip
remedy it. They were both alike In dis
position, equally selthh and each loving
their own self the best
It was a sore and grievous disappoint
ment to both John and his wife that’ no
children bles-ed their union. God with
held this great gift and blessing from
them. No little prattling voice wAsgiven
them to break the solitude of (heir fire
side: no we**, toddling feet natteu*d over
the floor. This golden link was wanting
to unite, the last rusting and Irksome fet
ters with which they hud hound them
selva-* together, and gteut was the troub
le of both, and bmd Dora's murmuring
thereat. And what should have but
drawn-.them closer 'needier for mutual
comfort and sympathy became au ad'll-,
tlonai cau.-o of dissatisfaction and' dis
content.
Ami so, clay by 'lay, the little love,
cadi hud for fhc? other cooled mi«l was
fast ilyfmr away. Day by *1 ly each one
grew more ami more Intensely selfish,
Jess and less careful of each olbe ’h com-
fort and happiness, and more miserable
nnd wretched fretting ever n.ore and
more a( the strength of the chain which
hound them loge'her.
1 am writing no fanciful, childish story.
God known my purpose and tale Ib seri
ous enough, and one ot too frequent oc
ean rence. In every little act of their
daily’ Uvea they very boom got to thwart
each oilier. Very quickly no mutual
concessions were offered; Scarce a meal
passed by without quarrelling and
squabbling about adme little unimport
ant trifle. Each bud the same likings,
and each resolved to gratify them at. the
expense of the other. In a few words
their Jives became-'grievous and burden-
some, both to themselves ami a I con
nected with them ; and they very quickly
grew to positively di-llking each oilier.
And ho the. months parsed until it
came near the eve of St. Mark. Now in
the North of England there is a great
deal of mi perstUfmi at tached to tfi b* nigh L
ft Is very generally believed that the
ghosts of all who will die the ensuing
year walk in solemn procession «t the
midnight hour down the road their oof
tins will hereafter pass to the church
porch. This eve falls on the 24th of
April. ,
Leading to the village church in the
place where these two lived were two
poniiu—tbe'one the pnMic road. through
the village, and another, a oy-piuo,
acioss some fields.
When the 24th of April came round In
due course of lime, It occurred to John
Vunnnte that lie would go that night and
see if Ids wife's ghost,would make Its ap
pearance. It so happened a similar
resolve possessed Dora. Of course neith
er of (hem betrayed by word or sign their
intention to the other. The day passed
anil night came. After tea John fidgeted
about for some time, ami Jhen left the
house for the ostensible purpose of foil
tiering and looking after the cattle.'-.
Dorn, hr soon as ids back was turned,
put mrTier I) hmet and shawl and went
out too, on a pretended visit to a neigh
bor. The night was a moonlight one,
lint Hie moon's light wus obscured by
passing clouds.
Ah soon uh John bad finished tending
the cattle, half ashamed of his errand,
and fearing to meet any of Ills neighbors,
lie intuit! his way across the Helds to cite
church yard. Dora, more timid, cln ae
exactly at thesnmetime the road through
the village.. The one arrived at the
church yard gate just as the other reach
ed tlie style from the fields into. it. Si
lently and quietly they belli, unknown
to eaidi oilier, went into tlie porch'? they
readied it, and just then iliemoon shone
out for.a few moments?full and (dear hi
each other’s faces. They both stared at
each oilier—a long, steady look, and
■ hen the moon’s light was with rawn
lieliind a.cloud ; and when Itagiiin shone
out llie church porch,was emnly—imili
had as silently relumed home, each
thinking they Imd seen the other’s
gho-t.
The lahlo was laid for supper when
John Vannole eame in, ami Us wife.
Dora sitting sewing l>y Hie fire. .Some
lint sausages mi l mashed potatoes were
warming hy it—his favorilc supper.—
Astonished at Hie unwonted attention In
Ids eiimfiirt and taste, in silence lie drew
Ids chair to Hie table, anti both sat down
and proceeded to eat it. One sausage
remained after each had been fairly and
equal I v helped. Each of them, hereto
fore, would have claimed and sought to
have it. To Dora’s astonishment Joint
very quietly took jt and laid it on her
plate without n word. As quietly she
rend veil it back to Ills. Tile servant
looked on astonished at tills unaccustom-
ed proceeding on hnlb their puna. Again
ami again wus tlie same tiling done—
each attempting to foree (ton Hie oilier,
and hath nearly quarreling about making
Hie o lier take it. The same feeling ac
tuated both-each thought Hie other
doomed ere very long to death, anil felt,
lor tlie short time yet loft them to he
Wether, they could iiltbnl to lie kind to
eaoli oilier.' At least such was Hie tenor
of Hie thoughts of cadi as they went to
rest Hiul night. ’ - ’
•Ah well,’ thought John, ‘I wonder
when she will go—how soon or how late
in the year; won’t Hie house be quiet
without tier! However. I'll bb kind to
her and hear with her for the shore lime
she has to live, so that ray conscience
cannot reproach me when she's gone.’
Ami so week after week passed, and
month after month, eaeli giving a little
and taking a little—bearing and forbear
ing with each other; and so tlie time
passed, and the year drevfcnear to its
close, rnd another HI. Mark’s Eye ap
proached.
One wild, gusty, rainy March night as
both were seated near tlie fire, Dora
worklngand John smoking, bis thoughts
went wandering over tin* past year and
wandering on into the future. And as
l e sat and smoked ami thought, he felt
half sad ahe would so soon huvedo leave
Ilf 111 - for, after all, thought he, she lias
been a good wife to me Hie last ten
months. No ilonht death has east tils
softening shadow over her, ami site ieels'
idiangeil by it- HUH it puzzled him :
there bite sat, so beidtbylo'ikliig, so con
tented, and so happy—it must be sudden,
thought be; ought I not to tell her what
I know, ami an warn and prepare her for
It? I will, lie resolved, and just then
seeing her look thoughtfully at himself
lie got ready to speak :
‘John,’said Dora, suddenly,'l should
miss you very much if you were to leave
"'hc storied anil nearly jumped oil Ills

‘Hear’me, Dora! how ynn alartled me,
for f wua thinking tlie same of you.'
‘Were you?' anaivereii Vot’d —‘Ah,’
well, I shall be sorry when you go.'
* *f go, Dura! U’s your turn, first, my
lass, I'm alter thinking.’
*1 do not think s»»/ she replied, *T
.know you’ve to go soon, and I tin light
I ouuht to toll you.*
‘Why do you ihlnk so?’
‘Because I saw your ghost walk on St.
Mark's Eve/ said Dora.
‘And I saw thine/ answered John.
‘Hump! you were there, then, John?*
*1 was, Dora, and It seems thou too?’
Tb«y were both silent again a short
time, and Dora sat and sewed, and John
smoked and thought. >
‘Dang it all, Dora/said John,‘we’re
been uncommon happy the past year,
why-shouldn t It be so to the end, eh,
pora? Thou’l't glo a little and IMLgle u

And to the cm! they tried to do so.—
Of course at times there was an occasion

For, after seven years* married expe

for passengers:
The General Wavhe and Colombo*
were hotfi up for Modulo, and stentd op
ready for a start. Onfaliis, clerks, engi
nears and all hands were.on the wharf
am! telling all sorts of shinies about, liieti

off Captain Pratt, of Petend»nrg, captain
of (he Wayne, who had in low a squad
of half a doz"H passengers, whoso leader,
bargainer and oracle was ast ro«g minded
woman of forty-five, who didn't quite
like the manly,hlgh-pressin’, steamboat*

can’t blow up; and If we should; don’t
yon see the water ain’t hot enough to

The argument and illustration were
conclusive, ami the Columbus got the

It *!s related ,of Brundage that, upon
another occasion, he was at the packet
landing in Buffalo as the boat came in
Uftn)ifntf>r on evening,
exercising his eloquence to ‘induce n

take the Columbus, which was to leave
for Oe’troifc-Sunday morning. They ob

slid did not like the expense’of' lying

Brumiuge’s explanation satisfied and de
cided- them: ‘Ladles and gentlemen,’
said he’ ‘we won’t do any Bnndsy work
on the Columbus., only to get her out of
Buffalo. You see we get up steam
enough on Saturday night lo Inst all the
way to Detroit; and then as soon as we

went with him.

THE OLD F9RT—A NATURAL WMOER.
Chryerxnc CorrtrpMVlcnl LouiwlUe Commercial
The Natural Fnrf, as It Is called, Is
situated about Ufteen miles sooth of
Cheyenne, on ti e old singe road leading
to Denver, verging a little to the west of
sooth. This fort fa very peculiar In Its
formation* ami dlfllcult, to as
to give a correct Idea of its appearance.— •
I should say It was originally a hill of
sandstone, and that the elements, had
moulded it Into Its present shape. Ills
almost circular In form, with a level open
area in the centre of about or :
Ally yards lu diameter. This Is entirely
closed by a sandstone wall, except on one
side, where there Is an opening several
yards wide, which gives free access to
the interior, and represents the sally
port. This wall varies from fifteen to
fifty feet in height, I should say, „I did
not measure It.
The wall upon the western side is
"’p't i bbatjiy ;^cn’‘*t>f"(\fteett^feetrtliick T ,.perft.
haps more at -the base. Upon the east
ern side the wall Is much higher ami
(bicker. We clambered upon the side
of this part, and went over it. The
whole top was honey-combed and cut
Into chambers, with wail rising up, sons
to conceal us from the plains, or even the
area within, were concealment sought,
and these watts were again pierced u*
though for looprholes,, or .windows.—
Home of these places would accommodate
five or six men, where ihey would have
a moist admirable point for defense, shel
tered almost entirely from an enemy's
attack; others would accommodate four
or six times as many, and, I think,de
fenslble positions could'have been found
on every Ride, po that the Tort* could, in
the hands of a few resolufe men, he pro
tected against many limes their number.
A little to the east, distant about 100
yards, there Is another formation some
what similar, much smaller. The Into
nor Is hut a few yards in extent. The
approach to It is through a narrow crev
ice, fust.large enough fora man to pass,
while the walls of (be passage are about
fifteen or (wenfy feet high..
The walla of Ibis, like (he larger fort,

A TIDES STORY,
The following story is told In a letter
from New Goa:—Tu tho province oi
Sulcele is a village named Cuncollm,
.where the Marquis of Fromeira, of Por
tugal, holdsan extensive landed property,
Mod it is bounded on two sides by thickly
wooded hilts wherein tigers, leopards,
jackals, wolveH, hyenas, and other wild,
beasts reign supreme. One evening, not
long since/n full-grown tiger entered the
-lltilo-vUlage at the foot'ol the hill, and
without cetennmy walked into a poor
man’s collage, at the hour all the mem
heis of the family happened to he absent
at their daily Vocations in the Held, with
the exception of a very old woman. Bhe,
poor creature, no so.mor realized the sit
uation than she screamed lustily but not
luHtily enough to drive the beast awa>
from the place. The poor woman next
tried to effect her escape flrrfin the cottage,
hut infirmity proved a bar to her realiz
Ing her wishes in lids respect. The
bloodthirsty animal, therefore, leisurely
approached and um<le short work of ids
victim; The tiger, who hud
cottage by the front door, now quietly
walked through, out by the back door
which opened Into one of the most fre
quented lanes of the village. There he
perceived, gathered together, a score or
so of mev of all ages, some with firearms
in their t nnda, others with swords and
sharp chaff-cutters, but the majority
thereof with thick, heavy cudgels, and
»dm«elf the subject of general remark.—
To clear a mat! for himself, the tiger
sprang and caught one of the cudgel men
by the thmht. Bhorl had been the cudg
el man’s sit rift, had not. a valient Mussul
man, perched on the. ro»d of the old no*
man’s cottage, sent a bullet through the
tiger’s rigid thigh. Tills rendered the
lieast furious, ami, peicelving (be. man
from whom he had received such unkind
ly treatment, he, .with a tremendous
roar, sprung atone hound on the housetop
lieslde the Musaulm nq, who dropped his
gnu and- shrieked foe aid. The tiger
seized him, with one bound descended
with him In hlsjaws, and speedily made
an end of him. The friends of tho do
ceased, by this time also furious, ami
bent on vmigeauce, with butt-ends,
swords, cudgels'and‘Stones, brought the
(•east to the ground, and so belabored
him that, with a mighty liowJ, he expi

ORAHT AT THE TOMS Of WASHIH9TOX.
The unusually Hue ami warm wcnlber
which has caused the treus.lo blossom
ami to put forth their leaves as Ifqhcy
hu<l been touched by a magician's wand,
was calculated to draw people out lof
their houses- 80 It Is not to bo-wondered
at that our President began to feel the
need of 11 a little trip.” As> the season
was not sufllojeml.v advanced for horse
racing, for fronting, or for Long Branch,
he was somewhat puzzled to know where
logo. After racking his brain for some
time it occurred to him that-ho never
visited Mount Vernon. The thought
hud all the charm of a sudden inspiration
ami lie proceeded at once to make prep
arations for Ills pilgrimage. Orders were
Instantly dispatched to the Navy Yard,

guests Immediately after breakfast the
following morning, with steam up for a
day's running down tlie Potomac. At
■ their own convenience, nftcr a hearty
breakfast,'the select party made their way
to the wharf and boarded the vessel. The
sun shone with glowing brilliancy and
soft airs came Iroui the Sooth laden with
the perfume of flowers, as the stately
steamer cot Its way tlirjaugh the placid
waters of the Potomac.
We need not trouble our readers with
the incident* of this pleasure trip, de
lightful as the young ladles of the party
found It to be. Our business is with U.

beside the tomb of George Washington.

tomb of Washington lie must wonder
tinw he ever cnmo to he numbered among
the successors of (lie Illustrious dead. No
greater contrast’ls to he found in all the.
annals of history than between the first
and. the lust President of the United
States.
We wonder whether a suspicion of that
fact entered Grant's dull mind. Did he
call to remembrance the chncacrpr (of
him who is justly styled The Father of
His 'Country—lds great purity of life. Ids
high sense of honor, his, unselfish devo
tion of duty, Ida unmercenary spirit, his

who slept in the vault beside him ? Did
he realize for amoment'what wouldhnve

reflect upon the sprit with which Wash
ington would have endeavored to heal
the animosities .engendered hy the war,
mid to wine out nil traces of the bloody
conflict? -Who ran tell whut Grant rfmy
have thought as he smoked Ids cigar in the
quiet shades of Mount Vernon ? Let ns
hope (hat he paw his own life set in the
true light hy a eontraat with that of
Washington—that he caught something
of the spirit of the great dead, and that
ho was able for a moment to realize lht*t
the ofllce of President 1h something'’more
than a cnnvenlentcontrivance for enrich
ing himself and a crowd of avaricious
relatives and flatterers. The contrast
between the first and the last President
of the United States is so great that even
Grant must have been struck by It.
