Tim dust of glory all around me lies,
The ashes of dead nations and their kings ;
I hear no voices save what from out the skies
The lark snakes down from his Invisible wings
A funeral :weal - Ills the whole campaign—
Their tomb•hke flocks the distant moulds ills
close ;
Like scattered blocks of granite on the plain,
The dove-hued oxen virgil sang repose,
The cities seated on surrounding mounts,
Or what were cuics;glimmer on the steeps
Like cemeteries, and the fancy counts
In vain their dead for whoni no mortal weeps
All Rome to-day sl La on the burled past,
Her later walls with sculptured blocks are
flecked
The spoilers lolled for ages fierce and fast,
Then left the rest to ruin and neglect.
And still beneath their tread what wonders lie !
Brave statues of the goldltice and their gods,
And columns that might corridor the sky.
- While scarce a spade upturns the shadow clods,
Unearth their marble wonders, with their Itit;11
Immortal lessons, to awaken men here,
And elsewhere to arrest, as they swept by,
Ambition's armies in their mad career.
=MEE
Who to their chariots chain the fiery team
Of elements to gain the realms of gold,
Lel them behold the more enduring dream
Of Amphion sculptors in the days of old.
Exhume these silent teachers from the dust,
And then— But hold I see around me strewn
O'er miles and miles of ruins, a thick crust
Of shattered remnants in dark ages hewn.
For wanton pastime, or for kilns of lime!
The veiy mortar in St. Peter's wall
Haat had its votaries in that grand old tune
When Poesy and Art o'erlorded
But that k past. What sound is this I hear
:Nlore than the lark's? .I.s front a mournful
lyto
wierd, complaining murmur tills my ear:
. I look above, and the ieolian wile.
Sing , . in the wind. It is the lightning's track.
:stretching o'er sepulchres, which serve for
posts,
And 3.0 oder the swift train weaves forth and
back,
Thou highwag of the dcail I where are thy
ghosts?
The electric fire that reaches Route to-day
May give at best a poor getvet‘ic
thritt—
The train that stream , : along the iron way
May bring bui mourners to the seven-fold hill
All this Inns- be, but still within me burns
Tlva prayerful dream and hope that even I
May see her rise above her funeral urns,
And throw her long-worn sackcloth bravely by
Pisrellancons Itrading.

A FATAL CA TASTROPHE.
rirlilYo7ll'' "61e
Mediterranean sea, near the close off a
November day, and sky and waters were
black with the gloom of the sudden fu
"dims :tempest, before which a" small sail
ing vessel waS scudding under bare:poles:
Her build and rigging proclaimed her
Sardinian. She was the "Gull," Captain
Varino master, on - her way from Cag
liari to Palermo.
She had on board two seamen, and tWo
passengers.
. These passengers were Englishmen,
who had procured passage on the "Gull"
to. Palermo, whence they intended to em
bark by steamer to Marseilles the folloW
ing day.
While the captain and his assistants
were attending to• their duties, and ex
pressing apprehensions as to their safety,
the two Englishmen stood apart, leaning
against the IoW bulwarks, and surveying
'the wild scene around them'
These men were•both' young, apparent
ly of the same age, about three and twen
ty, but evidently they were not of the
same station in life.
One, the more striking of the two, was
aristocratic in his bearing, tall...slender
and handsome, with a frank, smiling
mouth, a pair t of' fearless blue eyes, set
underia wide and massive forehead, and
tawny hail blowing back- from his fade.
Noble, generous and kind-hearted, he had
an adventurofis d.spositiou and a daunt
less courage.
He was Guy Tressilian. the only son
and heir of Sir-Arthur Tressilian, - Da rb
net, of Tressilian. Court, England:
llis companion presented a remarkable
resemblance to Inrq; being also tall and
slender and tawny' hair and:
moustacheybuthe hadnot the frank smile
the bright, fearless look,
.or the joyous
spirit that characterized young Tressi
lian. Young as he was, he had seen much
of the dark side of -life, and - his experi
ences bad been' such as to develop in hint
some of the worst qualitiekyof:_liis nature.
iie,«•as Jasper Lowder Guy Tressiliau 7 s
hired. tram•eling cornpamoit and bosom- -
friend.
Themeeting, and connection of the two
had a touch of romance.' Young Tressi
ban had spent four years in a German
university, whence he had been graduat
ed with honor. - Qn leaving the univer
sity, in obedience to his father's written
command, be had undertaken a tour of
the countries inclosing the Alediterradean
sea, in company with one of his late tu
tors. . This gentleman being unexpected
ly promoted to a professorship, abandon
ed Tiessili , n ,13aden, leaving, him to
find another traveling dompa , ion. .
On the evening of the very day after
this desertion; as Guy Tressilian was
sauntering through the streets of Baden,
he had been insulted-by a. trio of his' own
.countrymen, all more or less intoxicated: ,
It was apparent that they took him for
another, and intended to wreath venge
ance upon him. , Without allowing him
to'srieak: they forced him to defend him- ,
self. Guy was getting the worst of the
conflict, when a stranger came' running
to his assistance; and in a few moments
the two had put the ruffians to tight.
This stranger who had come so oppor
tunely to Gfiv.,'s
.atisistance was

TresSilitiMawakened:in the :latter a ro
mantic interest, Ire questioned Lowder,
learned that he.was poor and akine in the
world, and4took,him with him, to his ho
tel. .Believing .that the similarity - of
the features indicated a similarity of
taste and mature, he engaged Lowder as,
his :traiieling companion, and . the past
year they. had. spent together .more like
brothers than like employer and emplolf.-

"This '.toriri - is a regular' levanter,v,
said Lowder, clinging.with both hand's to

toil, thd anxieties of the wretched old life.
You picked me up at Baden, a poor ad
venturer seeking to rain a living by
teaching English and the same destiny is
open to me now."
Tressilian turned his handsome face
upon his companion in surprise and af
fectionate reproach.
- Jasper!" he exclaimed. "You talk
strangely. Do you suppose I have called
you friend and brother so long and loved
you so well, to• lose you now? 'I

you not? You will not abandon me, my
friend? I will charge myself with your

the position to which your talents entitle
you. You have no ties to keep you

A strange expression passed over .Jas
per Lowder's face. -
"No, I have no ties,'' he said huskily.
"And you will go home with me?"
"What will your father say at my com
ing?'' demanded Lowder. "Ile will
think your generosity Quixotic. lte will
dismiss from his house the hired com
panion who dares to resemble his son."
A sudden lurch of the little vessel, a
'wave sweeping over the deck, interrupted
the sentence:
"You wrong my father," said Trcssi-
Han, his blue eyes kindling, when the ves
sel had righted. "He is the noblest man
in the world. lie Nvi 11 welcome my
friends as his own. You will love him,
Jasper, as I do, when you know him."
-Ito doesn't seem very affectionate,"
remarked Lowder. "You have been
away from your home for five years, and
he had but just recalled you!"
Young Tressilian's cheeks flashed, as
Lowder saw in the lurid glow that mo
mentarily lighted up the tempestuous
scene.
"You know, or can guess, the reason,
Jasper, he said, with something of an ef
fort. -My father has a ward. the da ugh
of an old friend.—Alt! hear that wind
shriek! the gale is increasing!"
"Yes," assented Lowder. ''and the
ward is Miss Irby—the golden-haired
Blanche of whom you have talked so
much, and with whom you have exchang
ed letters?"
"Yes. My father formed a project to
have me marry Blatiehe. lie did not
wish us to grow up together, lest we
should, learn to regard each other as broth
er and ',-Sister. When Blanche came to
live at the court my father sent me to
Germany. The night before I left home,
he called me into his library and told me
all his hopes and plans for my future,
and entreated the to continue worthy of
his innocent ward, and to keep my heart
pure for her. I have done so, Jasper. I
have never yet loved any woman. And
yesterday I received my father's sum
mons to come home. Ile has recalled me
after live years of absence. I know the
wish that lies nearest his heart. He
wants me to return and marry Blanche.
I shrink from the proposed marriage. I
dread going home. And I dread offend
ing my dear father, whom I love better
than any woman. It is hard, Jasper, to
revolt again t the hopes and plans of a
kind and generous ather, whose; very
love for me causes him to urge on this
marriage!"

a strange smile-full of sneering bit terness.

"You do not know, then ?" asked Tres-
Silian, pressing his companion's hand.
"1 have no proofs of it. All I positive
ly know is this. My mother was of hum
ble station, pretty, with blue eyes and an
apple-blossom face, and tender, appealing
ways. She was the daughter of a widow
residing at Brighton. The widow, my
grandmother, kept a lodging-house. and
my father, a gay, dashing young fellow,
came to' lodge with her. As might have

lie leaned over the bulwark, the spray
dashing over his face violently.
Tressilian's heart warmed to Idle.
"My poor friend !" he said. — Must I
say again you are not friendless while
live. My father has influence enough to
obtain for you a government appointment.
This tangle may straighten itself out
some day. But if it don't you are reso
lute enough to make your own happiness."
Ire grasped Lowder's hand, and looked
with warm bright eyes, full of sympathy,
into Lowder's lowering face.
There had been a temporary in
the storm. But as the two stood there,
the tempest revived and swept Lover the
wild sea in maddened rage.
There was no time for talking now.—
The wind rose so high that words would
scarcely have been distinguished. The
storm that had goer before had been lint
play to this awful outburst. The vessel
drove on e caking and groaning,
.a nacre
cockle shell on the billows.
••Mother of Mercies !" wailed the cap
tain. — lt's all up with us, signores. I
can't make out the Cape in this darkness.
We shall go on the rocks. St. Anthony
save us !"
The seamen echoed his cries.
The two young Englishmen, compre
hending their peril, clasped hands in si
lence.
For the next few minutes it seemed
that a Pandemonium reigned.
Then a noise like the report of a cannon
suddenly boomed through the storm and
the darkness. The little vessel shivered,
staggered and careened upon her side.
• She had struck upon a rock.
A moment later. crew and passengers

ifigs, of vain struggles and agonized. in
• voluntary prayer; and then Jasper Lowder
- felt his senses slip from - - him and become
unconscious.'
Whenshe came to himself, he was lying
upon a rocky beach of the Sicilian shore s
sore, bruised, and as weak as a child. '
Ile opened his eyes. The wind had
spent its fury and now moaned along the
coast with desperate wall. The waves
beat against the rocks.
Lowder struggled to his elbow.
-Wrecked!" lie muttered. "I am cast
ashore, while the others are drowned! Oh.
this is terrible! I have lost my best friend
to-night!"
Ile moaned and wrung his hands. '
"Ile is dead, who would have done so
much for me. and I so worthless am saved!
All my hopes of an easy and luxurious
life must be resigned now!"
At that moment be beheld a dark object
at a little distance in the water. The
waves hurled this object against the pro
jecting head of a sunken rock. At the
same instant Lowder recognized it as the
body of a man.
Ile crept toward it,and the, waters dash
ed the body on the shore at his feet. Ilow
cold and wet it was! It felt like the face
of a dead man. Lowder's lingers came in
contact with the soft, silken mustache,
and lie knew that the body was that of
Guy Tressil lan !
Of the live who had stood on the sloop's
deck a half-hour earlier, these two alone
were left. The captain and crew had
found their deaths among the ernel.yawn
ing waters.
Lewder thrust his baud under the waist
coat of his friend, but lie could not per
ceive the beating of his heart. Despair
took possession of him.
"Dead!" he said shrilly. "Dead! And
lie would have done so much for me if he
Via lived! And his father and the young
girl he was to have married will wait in
vain for his coining ! His pla c at
Tressilian Court is empty. Who can fill

It seemed to him that some demon at
his side echoed the question: "Who could

Tressilian?
A thought cane to hint—a thought so
strange and sinister that he shivered in
voluntarily. Again he felt of Tressilian's
head and discoveled a g“iiing wound in
the skull. The hair was clotted with
blood.
Putting his hand into his breast. pocket,
Lowder drew out his little water-proof
match-safe. Ile opened it with trembling
fingers and strucka light. The red flick

llow ghastly - and terrible it looked! The
eyes were closed, the smile was gOllO.
The seal of death seemed set on the noble
features.
Lowder examined the wound. It bad
been made by contact with the sharp rock,
and even Lowder preeeived its terrible
character.
" It: he is not dead, he soon veil be," be
muttered. "His brain has received au
awful injury. lle will never know who
he is again. lie won't live till morning,
and he is perhaps dead already. lie must
be dead:"
Again it seemed to him as though some
deinond echoed his words.
The match dropped from his fingers
into the water. For a little while he
crouched on the wetstones in silence,bat
tling it may be with the better and nobler
instincts of his nature.
St last, with sudden and abrupt stealth
iness, his hands stole into the breast pock
et of Tressilian and drew out his private
note-book, a packet of letters, and a few
trinkets. He secured these among his
own wet garments. Their possession
seemed to give him courage, and his face
hardened, and he knelt beside the body of
his friend and rifled his garments of all
that they contained, bestowing his plun
der on his own person.
Then he took his own purse, his note
book, a few receipts and
,trifles from his
own pockets, and put them in the pockets
of Tressilian.
"It is done!" he whispered to himself,
looking with wild detlant eyes through the
darkness. "No one is harmed. Ile is
dead. If he had lived, he would have
provided for me. As he is dying or dead

a chance to gain name and wealth at one
lucky stroke!"
As if to give himself no chance for re
pentance, he arose to his feet and turned
his searching glances in an inland direc
tion. A light, as from a cottage window,
glimmering faintly through the thick
haze, caught his gaze.
liaising his voice, he called loudly:
`•llelpi Ito, there.
The wind had abated, and his cries rang
out through the night with startling dis
tinctness. The light he had seen moved
and disappeared. A minute later, an
swering cries leached Lowder's ears, and
he heard hasty steps, and saw the ap
proaching light of a lantern, borne aloft
by a loan's upraised arm.
•'This way!" shouted Lowder. "We
are wrecked on the rocks! For the love
of Heavens, hasten!"
The bearer of the lantern, attended by
a male companion, came running to him,
and was soon at his side. The lantern
bearer was a rough Sicilian fisherman, a
grade above his class. His companion
was also a Sicilian, but evidently of some
what a higher degree. Both were all ex
citement, astonishment and sympathy.
In a few words as possible Lowder told
the story of the shipwreck, and called at
tention to the condition :of his noble
employer.
"I think he is dead!" he said, in a chok
ing voice. "Carry lihn up to your cabin.
Let eyeryth ng be done that can be done
to save him. I will pay you well for any
kindness to him. Poor fellow! Ile was
my traveling companion. [ loved him as
if had been my own brother, instead of
only my hired attendant! Poor Jasper!"
The two Sicilians lifted the helpless
form of poor young Tressilian, and car
ried it between them toward their cot
tage. Jasper Lowder followed them, be
wailing his loss. The above we publish

MElli:.71011 INEURCE.
We may classify the petty incivilities of
church like this:
I. Smat.—Violent perfunics,especially
those containing musk, are disagreeable
to most persons, end to some positively
distressing. There is no smell so univer
sally pleasing as no smell. Never scent
yourself w; en going into a crowded as
sembly. The same is true of the residua
ry smell of tobacco which hangs about the
garments and affects the breath of those
who habitually smoke. But t obacco al
most invariably makes men self-indulgent
and regardless of other's convenience.
More brutal yet are those who go to
church reeking, like a Dutchman's soup,
with the smell of onions. There are
scores of people rho have lost all Kota of
a Sunday service by the sickening smells
which have surrounded them.
So w: ds.—Whispering in church during

churches. But the lower of the will
over the muscles which do the coughing is
very great. A heedless person will cough
twice as much as is needful—will cough at
the worst time possible, will cough plump
upon the necks of those before him, in
stead of embalming the sound in his hand
kerchief as, with a little skill and polite
ness, he might eailsy do. We would not
forbid men who cannot sing to "make a
joyful noise"—but it should be a softly
noise. In all cases when it is a man's
duty to sleep.in church, it is his duty to
snore with the soft pedal down.
3 Sight.—Every one likes to see the
minister. It cannot be done through
your body. True, you cannot help being
before somebody, unless you are on the
back seat. lint, with a little thought, you
may very much help those behind you.
Any conduct which shall divert the atten
tion of others from the service, such as
ostentatious playing with a watch or

papers, looking about inquisitively, is im
polite.

IIN AMD'S/NG DOMESTIC EPISODE
The following is from the Elmira (New
York) Gazette, of November 22:
In a certain city, not so far away from
this as to make it less of local interest, a
few evenings since a party of friends met
at a social gathering at a fashionable
restaurant. Some were bachelors, and
some were in the enjoyment of "Heaven's
best gift to moil" The evening was
cold, and most of them wore overcoats.
Two of them were nearly alike, and were
owned respectively by Charley G---
and Charley S-; one of them. was
married and the other single, and a 'wild
fellow, who as fast he was, out of one
scrape was into another. His friend
Charley G is a sober nun, cherish
ing a bright-eyed, but jealous hearted
little wife who loves him tenderly. He
found it difficult to obtain permission to
attend the supper at all.
It was giveii, at last, with the under
standing that he would come home early.
He did not. however, but sat late; so very
late, indeed, that he slept soundly the
next morning. He had met with a mis
fortune, too, having stumbled on his way
Lome and rolled over in the street. His
wife, however, set about repairing the
mishap the next morning by cleansing
the muddy overcoat. While :engaged in
this occupation her hand by the merest
chance in - the world strayed into the side
pockets of his co :t, and encountered a
neatly folded liißet dour, subscribed sim
ply to Charley, which read:
"Do not go to that horrid supper, love,
but come to me instead. lamso ' lonely.
Your devoted KATE."
Oh my I but the,litle blue eyes flashed—
the color came and went upon her cheek
and forhead—when she read the few
lines. There was a moment's, patise as if
to still the intensity of passion, and the
Mr. (4 was rudely shaken from his
bed. "What's the meaning of this, sir ?"
and the little hands trembled with pas
sion, as the offending paper was held up
before the culprit. "I don't know. Who
brought it ?"
"Who brought it sir ? I found it in
your coat pocket. Mr. G. . I want
an explanation. I will have one. I
want a divorce, too !" Mr. G was
fully aroused by this time. Ile protested
he knew nothing of the note ; he did not
know how the treacherous little thfng
got into his pocket. He appealed to his
wife's sense. She would hear no denial,
but instead, made another dive into the
coat pocket.
Another little missive rewarded her
search. It was brimful of the tenderest
endearments, and dated only two days
back, but was in another handwriting,
very beautiful, and signed "Jennie."
"Oh! you Turk—just look at that!" and
while Charley's bewildered eyes were pe
rusing the letter another visit was paid
lito the receptacle of love—another letter
came out. It called Charley cruel,.false,
deceitful; said that Fanny's broken he? •--

ips were
blue eyes all aflame, the little ro i rm drawn
up to the fullest height„ Charley never
saw her looking so indignant.
" You monster ! Why Brigham Young
would be ashamed to do as you have
done!"
Another dive was made to the pocket,
and letter after letter was drawn out, un
til a dozen strewed the floor, all evincing
the tenderest love for Charley. Unable,
to code with the storm of indignation, he
made a hasty exit from the room, and,
leaving the house, he left his wife to med
itate upon divorce or suicide at leisure.
A few minutes after, however, the ser
vant of Charley S.
appeared with
Mr. C 's overcoat, and respectfully
solicited the return of histnaster's.
ABOUT BILIOUSNESS
A clergyman comes in to see me about
a dozen times a year about his bilious
ness. Biliousness is a common malady.
I know a great many people who are bil
ious. They have no dyspepsia, they nev
er had symptoms of dyspepsia in their
lives; they are only "bilious."
Now this word biliousness is a sort of
respectable cover for piggishness. People
are not bilious who eat what they should.
Reader, are you bilious? (Rather a
hard question after the above hard word.)
Let me prescribe for you. If you follow
my prescription, and don't get well, write
me, and in the next edition I will an
nounce my error.
First, on getting up and_going to bed,
drink plenty of cold water.
Eat for breakfast, until the bilious at
tack passes, a little stale bread, say one
slice. and a piece as large as your hand of
boiled lean beef or mutton. If the weath
er is warm, take instead a little cracked
wheat or oatmeal porridge.
For dinner take about the same thing._
Go without your supper.
ExerciSefreely in the open air; produc
ing perspiration, once or twice a dilv. In
a few days your biliousness is all gone.
This result will come, even though the
biliousness is one of the spring sort, and
