TEE COMING RAIN

11V MIGNONETTE
Jli(lsnnvner sleeps upon the hills,
And high In heaven the red sun glows;
The languid wind scarce moves the scent
Of clover and belated rose.
The panting pine adown the air
Ills hot balsamic fragrance flings;
Upon the meadow's swaying reed
The sea rlet-sln , ildered blackbird sings
The shimmering fields are faint for rain;
The dust-cloud marks the hillside road;
The shrivelling leaf and puny bud
Show where the rose and illy glowed.
Far in the amber-Leavened son
A long, low, slumberous shadow lie.,
Like cloud and mountain softly Went,
.Ind softly mingled with the shies.
is the rain I .\ subtile touch
Lie, in the south wind's languid palm;
A subtile prophecy floats down
The pine -tree's fervid breath of balm.
With closed eyes, I hear the drip
Of ra inch ops in far fore,t,shades
The ringing laugh of brooks that leap
The mossy stalrway of the glades.
I brout be the perfaine, honey-sweet,
Of meadow blooms and vine-roofed bower;
The rich, moist inceae of the woods,
The scent of new-born leaf and dower:
And sec the sick Ilelds growing green,
The lily-Cups all brunining o'er,
The daisies dancing, wild with glee.
Beneath the low cloud's steady pour
And It now that when the morrow eomes
We, too, shall laugh to greet the rain—
To hear the mountains whisper praise,
And all the vales rejoice a 4.1111.
SO if thy life. 0 friend! does seen'
To lie beneath a cruel sky—
If you COM(3 to see
Eaen darling hope ad moor to tile—
Oh! wait and watch, with heart of faith
Beyond your small horizon press
The Bounteous Hands, all over tilled
With power to recompense and bless.

TOL - CHINO -TORS
" To the memory of Patrick Connor,
this simple stone was erected by his Fel
low Workmen.
Those words you may read any day
upon a white slab in a cemetery not many
miles from IN'ew York; but you might
read them e hundred times without guess
ing at the little tragedy they indicate,
without knowing the humble romance
which ended with the placing of that stone
above one poor and humble man.
In his shabby frieze jacket and mud-la
den brogans, he was scarcely an attractive
object as lie walked into Mr. Bawn's
great tin and hardware shop, one day, and
presented himself at the counter with
an—
"l've been tould ye advertised foil
lunids; yer honor."
"Fully supplied, my, man," said 'Mr.
Bawn, not lifting his head from his ;lc- .
count book.
I'd work faithful, sir. and take low
wages till I could do betther, and I'd learn
—T would that."
It was an Irish brogue, and Mr. liawn
always declared that he never would em
ploy an incompetent hand. Yet the tone
attracted him. He turned briskly, and
with his pen behind his ear, addressed the
man who was only one of the fifty who
had answered his advertisement for four
workmen that morning.
" "What makes you expect to learn faster
than other folks—are you any smarter?"
'• not say that," said the man, "but
I'd he wishing to; that 'ud make it :Osier."
•` Are you used to the work?"
I've done a bit of it."
•• Much?"
No, yer honor•. I'll tell no lie. Tim
O'Toole haen't the like of this place; but
I know a bit about tins."
- Von are too old for an apprentice, and
you'd be in the way, I calculate," said
Mr. - Hawn, looking at the brawny arms
and bright eyes that promised strength
;Ind intelligence. "Besides, I know your
countrymen—lazy, good-for-nothing, fel
lows, who never do their best. No, I've
been taken in by Irish hands before, and I
won't have another."
"The Virgin will have to be after bring
ing 'cm over in her two arms, thin,'' said
the man, despairingly; ; for I've tramped
all day for time last fornight, and !liver a
job can I get, and that's the last penny I
have, yer honor, and its but a half one."
As he spoke be spread his palm open
Ivith an Englislt hall-penny upon it.
"Bring whom over?" asked Mr. Dawn,

upon his Intel, and turned back again.

WllO Ilie they?"'
"The wan'sine wife,the other me child,"
said the man. "0, masther, thry Inc.

and the whole big city seems against it,

and then at his face.
hire you for the week." he said,
" and now as it's noon, go down into the
kitchen mid tell the girl to get you your
dinner—a hungry man can't work.''
And with an Irish blessing the new
Land obeyed, while Mr. Bawn, untying his
apron, went up stairs to his own meal.
Suspicious as he was of the new hand's
integrity and ability, he was agreeably
disappointed. Connor worked hard and
actually learned fast. At the end of the
week he was the best workman in the
shop.
Ile was a great talker, but not fond of
drink or wasting money, As his wages
grew he hoarded every penny, and wore
the same shabby clothes in which he made
Ins first appearance> "Beer costs money„'
he said one day, ;Ind ivery chit I spind
puts off the bringing :Nora and Jamesy
over: and as for the clothes, them I have
must dO me—better no coat to me back
than no wife by me firesides; and how,
its slow work saving."
It was slow work, but he kept at it all
the same. Other men, thoughtless and
full of fun, tried to make hint drink—
made a jest of his saving habits, coaxed
him to accompany them to places of amuse
ment and share their Sunday frolics. All
in vain. Connor liked beer, liked fun,
liked companionship; but he would not
delay the long looked forbringing of Nora
over, and was not "mane enough" to ac
cept favors of others. Ile kept his way—a
martyr to his one great wish—living on
little, working at night on any extra job
by which he could earn a few shillings, by
running errands in his noon-tide hours of
rest, and talking to any one who would
listen of his one great hope, and of Nora
and little Jamesy.
At first the men, who prided them
selves on being all Americans and on
turning out the best work in the city,
made a sort of butt of Connor, whose
" wild Irish" ways and verdancy were in
deed often laughable. But it won their
hearts at last, and when, one day, mount
ing a work bench, he shook his little bun
dle, wrapped in a red 'kerchief, before
their eyes, and shouted, " Look, boys, I've
got the whole at last! I'm going to bring
Nora and Jamsey over at last! Whoroo!
I've got it!" all felt a sort of sympathy
in his joy.
That seemed a sort of charity to him.
Still he was helped along. A present
from Mr. Bawn at pay day set Nora, as
he said, "a week nearer," and this and
that and the other added to the little
hoard. It grew faster than the first, and
Connor's burden was not so heavy. At
last, before he hoped it, lie was once more
able to say "I am going to bring them
over," and to show his handkerchief, in
which, as before, he tied up his earnings;
this time, however, only to his friends.
Cautious among strangers he hid the
treasure, and kept his vest buttoned over
it day and night until the tickets were
bought and sent. Then every man, wo
man and child, capable of hearing and
understanding, knew that Nora and her
baby were coining.
There was John Jones, who had more
of the brute in his composition than usu
ally falls to the lot of man—even he. who
had coldly hurled his hammer at an of
fender's head, missing him by a hair's
breadth, would spend his ten minutes in
the noon hots• in reading the Irish news
to Connor. There was Toni Baker, the
mealiest man among the number, who
had never been known to give anything to
any one before, absolutely bartered an old
jacket for a pair of guilt vases which a
pedler brought in his basket to the shop,
and presented them to Connor for his No
ra's mantlepicce. And there was idle
Dick, the apprentice, who actually work
ed two hours on Connor's work when ill
ness kept time Irishman at home one day.
Connor felt this kindness, and returned
it whenever it was in his power, and the
days flew by and brought a letter at last
from his wife.
" She would start as he desired, and
she was well, and so was the boy, and
might the Lord bring them safely to each
other's arms and bless those who had been
so kind to him." This was the substance
of the epistle which Connor proudly as
sured his fellow-workingmen Nora wrote
herself. She had lived at sery ice as a girl,
with a certain good old lady, who had
given her an education, the items of which
Connor told upon his fingers. "The ra
din" that's one, and the" writin" that's
three, and moreover she knows all a wo
man can." Then he looked up at his fel
low-workingmen with the tears in his eyes,
and asked:
"Do ye wondther the time seems long
between me an' her boys?
So it was—Nora at the dawn of clay—
Nora at noon—Nora at night—until the
news came that the "Stormy Petrel" had
come to port, and Connor, breathless and
pale with excitement, flung his cap in the
air and shouted.
It happened on a ltoliday afternoon,
and a half a dozen men were ready to go
with Connor to the steamer and. give his
wife a greeting. Her little home was
ready; Mr. Dawn's own servant had put
it in order, and Connor took one peep at
it before he started.
" She had'nt the like o' in the ould
counthry," he said. "But she'll know
how to kape them tidy."
Then lie lead the way towards the dock
where the steamer lay, at a place which
made it hard for the rest to follow him.
The spot was reached at last; a crowd of
vehicles blockaded the street; a troop of
emigrants came thronging up; fine cabin
passengers were stepping into cabs, and
driN i ers, porters and all manner of em
ployers were yelling and shouting in the
usual manner. Nora would wait on board
for her husband—he knew that.
The little group made their was' into
the vessel at last, and there amidst those
who sat watching for coining friends,
Connor searched for the two so dear to
him; patiently at first, eagerly, but pa
tiently; but by and by growing anxious
and excited.
"She - would never go alone." he said.
"She'd be lost entirely; I bade her wait,
but I don't see her boy, I think she's net
in it."
"Why don't you see the Captain?"
asked one, and Connor jumped at the sug
gestion. In a moment he stood before a
portly, rubicund loan, who nodded to him
kindly.
"I am looking for my wife, yer honor,"
said Connor, "and I can't find her."
"Perhaps she's gone ashore,'' said the
captain.
"I bade her wait," said Connor.
"Women don't always do as they are
bid, you know," said the captain.
"Nora would," said Connor; "but may
be she was left behind. Maybe she did't
come; I somehow think she didn't."
At the name of Nora the captain stated.
In a moment he asked,—
"What's your name?"
"Pat Connor," said the man.
"And your wife's was Nora?"
"That's her name, and the boy with her
is .Tamesy, your honor," said Connor.
The captain looked at Connor's friends
they looked at the captain. Then lie said
huskily,—
"Sit down. my man;l've got something
to tell you."
"She's left behind," said Connor
"She sailed with us," said the captain,
"'Where is she," said Connor.
The captain made no answer.
"My man," he said, "we all have our
trials; God sends them. Yes—Nora star
ed with us."
Connor said nothing. Ile was looking
at the captain now, white to the lips.
"It's been a sickly season," said the
captain.
"We had illness on board—the cholera.
You know that."
"I didn't," said Connor; "I can't read,
they kept it from me."
"We didn't want to frighten Lim," said
one man, in a half whisper.

"Yon know Low long we laid at quar

"The ship I came in did that," said
Connor.
"Did you say Nora went ashore'? Ought
to be fookire for her, captain."
"Many died," went on the captain—
'`many children. When we were halt way
here your boy was taken sick"—
"Jamesy, gasped Connor.
"Ills mother watched him night and
day," said the captain, "and we did all
we could, but at last he died; only one of
many. There were five 'buried that day.
But it broke my heart to see the mother
looking out upon the water. "It's his
father I think of," said she; he longed to
see poor Jamesy.
Connor groaned.
"Keep up if you can, my man," said
the captain. "I wish any one else had it
to tell rather than I. That night loia
was taken ill also; very suddenly. She
grew worse fast. In the morning she
called me to her; "Tell Connor I die
thinking of him" she said, "and tell him
to meet me''—and my man, God help you,
"she never said anything more—in an
hour she was gone."
Connor had risen. Ire stood up trying
to steady himself; looking at the captain
with his eyes as dry as two stones. Then
he turned to his his friends:
"I've got my death, boys," he said, and
there dropped to the floor like a log.
They raised bim and bore him away.
In an hour lie was at borne on the little
bed which had been made ready for Nora,
weary with her long voyage. There. at
last, he opened his eyes. Old Mr. Bawn
bent over him; lie had been summoned by
the news, and the room was full of Con
nor's fellow workmen.
"Better, Connor?'" asked the old man
"A dale,'' said Connor. "It's airy now;
I'll be with her soon. And look ye mas
flier, I've learned one thing—God is good;
Ire would not bring _Nora over to me. but
He's taking me over to her. And Samesy
—over the river: don't yon see it and her
standing on the other side to welcome
me.
And with these words Connor stretched
out his arms. Perhaps he did see Nora—
lleaven only knows—and so he died.—

TEE TERRORS OF VESUVIUS
An adventurous young lady, who as
cended Vesuvius and braved the dangers
of an approach to the burning crater,
writes the following sketch of her expe
rience to the Philada. Bulletin: A half
hour of fatiguing journey over a desert
more dreary and terrible than imagina
tion can possibly picture, with Pompeii,
Herculaneum, Torre del Grechio, and
dozens of ruined and buried cities and
villages painfully oppressing our sense of
the supremacy of man's ingenuity over
natural instinct, and inspiring a dread of
the awful, fiery monster we were so reck
lessly approaching, and not in the least
mollified by the fact that seventy-five
thousand souls were actually clinging to
their old homes on the mountain side,
down which rivers of fire rolled and sur
ged, upheaved and turned in great blocks
of crimson paste, as if the cauldron of hell
were boiling over and seeking victims be
yond its limits.
Now we dismounted; our skirts were
tied close around us to prevent their be
ing torn off by the sharp edges of hard
lava, and with a guide to drag us by the
hand, every one of the party was furnish
ed with a stick. we started towards the
lakes and streams of liquid fire. At every
step the heat became more intense. We
were passing over lava that had rolled
down only twelve hours before. We dare
not pause an instant, or our feet were
burned; if we stepped one inch aside of
the spot pointed out by the guide's staff,
we inust plunge our feet into fiery paste.
Sometimes the crust under our feet crack
led; we sprang from it, and sulphurious
dames issued from the crevices. At last
I found my strength exhausted. My
guide, perceiving it, cried out: "Courage

We were so near the flowing lava. that
our faces were all crimson with the heat:
but we dared to remain while coins were
thrown into it, and then fished out with
the metal sticking to them: eggs were
roasted, and on the very place where we
stood holes were made only one inch deep
through which papers were lighted for
the gentlemen's cigars.

AN EOU WITS THE DEAD
I have just returned from St. ratil's
churchyard, where I spent an hour in
reading the inscriptions 011 the various
monuments of love or pride, of joy or re
gret, of affection or disdain, that rear
their sculptured heads above the forms of
those who ?rely. How long ere I shall be
with them. And will any one drop a
a tear on my grave, or plant a dower in
the sod which covers all of me that can
die? "Fis sweet to think that, when the
vigorous form sinks to the parent earth,
sonic gentle being, with soul all purity and
love, will kneel 011 the lowly mound, and
breathe devoted prayers for the soul of
him whose form is mouldering beneath.
A walk among the tombs! Voiceless com
munion with the shadowy past! Face to
face with the coffin and the. shroud—the
mouldering bones of the rich and the poor.

with giant manhood and tottering age.
with the conquering warrior and the tim
orous maiden—may well call up reflec
tions not of earth—reflections having their
spring beneath the feet, but their course
in futurity. Here families, in life per
chance passion -sundered and hostile,
dwell peacefully together. "each in his
narrow cell forever laid." Here stands
the monument of one whose eloquence
fell like the "still, small voice" upon the
ear, and wove around his spell-bound au
ditors a chain of wondering- silence.
Alas! the brilliant peroration no longer
falls from the lips of Emmet. for they are
lastingly joined by the seal of death.
There, in its garniture of sword and shield,
" and discord's dire emblazonry,
the monument of the fearless warrior
chief, whose breath once fanned the dame
of war, and whose path to fame was over
a causeway of corpses. Further on, the
ostentatious marble points out the rest

How A PISEED.DIAN PAID FOB HIS HOME
STEAD.
The Gloucester (Mass.) Advertiser tells
the following instructive story: Several
years ago there resided in -, a fisher
man whose surname was Peter. lie had
quite a large family and had purchased
a house, giving; as part payment a mort
gage on the building. Time passed off
and lie got in arrears, and the mortgage
threatened to foreclose. This was a severe
blow to Peter, as he know not where to go
or how to relieve himself. In his trouble
he applied to a well-known financier in
town, who listened to his story. blamed
him for his negligence, gave him some
good advice and concluded by saying that
he would help him out of his difficulty,
and put him in the way of paying for the
house, if he would solemnly agree to fol
low out his instructions, and if he devia
ted in the least, he would have nothing
further to with him. Peter assented to
this and received the money to pay up the
mortgage, amounting to $3.000. Nows
said the benefactor, • I want you to own
that house as soon as possible. and to do
so you must give me your note, and upon
your return from every trip of fishing. I
want you immediately to come to my
house and tell me how much you have
earned, and how nmeli you can afford to
pay toward the house. without distressing
yourself and family. I shall watch you.
and if you fail to come even once, then
you will lose yore• house."
Peter promised. and went his way. A
fortnight passed. and one morning Peter
knocked at the door of his patron.
Walk in," was the response.
" Forty dollars, sir."
" Ilow much can you pay toward the
house?"
Thirty sir?
The amount was duly endorsed on the
note. and Peter again left. At the return
of every trip Peter never failed to report
himself, although sometimes he conld not
afford to pay but One dollar, yet he was
always kindly received and encouraged.
..‘t the expiration of two years he made
his last payment, interest and principal,
and received a clear title to the house,
which is owned and occupied by his fami
ly to this day, who would been poorly off
indeed had he not left them at his decease
a place of shelter.
There is a moral to this sketch, which
is, that those desirous oi• owning property
must make a beginning, and add to the
amount from their earnings, even if the
sums are sometimes small. They all help
to swell the aggregate and teach lessons
of economy. which in themselves are more
valuable than the money saved. Young
men. save a portion of your earnings and
invest them where they will be safe. in
stead of spending them foolishly, as is too
often the case in these days.''
