My soul to day
Is far nwny,
Sailing t no Vesuvian Cay:
My winged boot,
A bin! atl.iat,
Swims round tbo purple peaks remote:
Round purple peaks

Blue inlets and their crystal creeks.

Tli'nugli deeps below,
A duplicated gulden gluw.
Far, vague, and dim
Tbe mountains swim;
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands,
Tlio gray smoke stands
O'erlookitig tho vulcanic lauds.
Hero Ischia smiles
O'er liquid miles;
And yonder, bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits,
Her sapphire gntes
Beguiling to Iter bright estates.
I heed not, If
My rippling sklfT
Float swilt or slow from cliff to cliff;
With dreamlul eyes
Mv spirit lies
Under tlio walls ol Paradise.
Under the walls
Where swells and falls
Tho Bay's deep oreatt at intervals
At peace I lie,
Blown nolily by,
cloud iipin this liquid sky.
Tbe day, so mild.
Is Hi uven's own child,
With Earth unit Ocean reconciled;
The airs I feel
Around me steal
re murmuring to tbo murmuring keel.
Over the rail

Within the shadow of tbo (all,
A Joy intense,
The cooling sonso
Glides down my drowsy Indolence.

bnrl t'TiT known in all my Hie, and lie
country ovr which I took tuy way
bad a. country rnnda in general. C in-
aequ-iilly, I was wnlkino nt a threat rate.
iihtha collar of my rongh coat over
my rnra, ntul n comforter tied ovtr my
soft hat and tinder my chlu, to keep it
u nntl protect my enra, when snddenly
n man atnn.l full in my path aud caught
me by the urtu.
Il'illn!'' said he, "i'nn're jnat In
tlmj ynn nro wanted at tho cross-road
t niglil!'
The vtilca waa that of a rnfflin.
I ftneied myself nttack-d by n high
wayniati. I atooil quite still, anil strove
to ahow him by my minners that I waa
able to protect myself.
"What the Hence am I wanted at the
cross-roads foi?" raid I. "Unless
choose it will be a very bard matter to
i;et me there,"
Hut iiiktrnil of prodncli'g a pistol and
demanding my money or my life, tbe
man answered iu an altered tone:
"lieu pardon; 1 made a mistake.
thought it was my brother aud 1 wanted
to frighten lum. Bail night, tit?"
Very," arid. I,
"You don't know tbe time, sir?' be
uaVed.
It wan 7 when I left Ibe train at L ,
1 said.
..Tlmnk ye, sir," said tbe man, "Good
nighl."
"Uord night," taid I.
If bia object bad been rob.
bery, probably bo bad decided from my
rough appearance tb&t I was too poor
man to be worth tbo trouble. But afttr
nil, I thought, probably be spoke tbo
I truth. A mau may have snch n volco
without beluga highwayman, no doubt.
So 1 uent homeward and soon found my
self under shelter nnd partaking of a
warm and savory supper.
My mother wan there and my brother
Lien. Ben wm a gnat strapping fellow
who could lien nny olber boy of his age
for miles uronud if it came to wrestling
or boxlug, and ns good-humored n boy
as ever lived; a boy always to mother
au 1 me, though be bud exercised bit
right to vote already iu one presidential
election.
When supper was over, and we bad
chatted fur mi hour, we went up stairs
together. We shared one room together.
The moment B.-u's head touched tho pil.
low LeulKiiya went to hleep. That night
Ifullowid hit tx-imple. Bat I did not
leep long without n dream a dream iu
which I lilt n rough grip on my arm, and
was roused by a cry in my ears.
Wake up! You are wanted at the
emus ronda."
It as so real, so palpable, that when
became broad awake I actually be
lieved that someone was in the room;
the mau who had intended robbery or
violetce. But wbeu I bad arisen nnd
lit my lump the room was empty, except
myself and Ben, who 1) minting on bis
pillow. I went to the dooi; it was
locked. I unit tntbo wiudow; the rush
ot r.tin ug.iiuat tbe panes was k.11 1 beard.
I tvi-u went across the passage to my
mother's room. She was uwaku. There
bad been no uuuiual suuud, she was
sure.
Only n dream born of my meeting the
strange man in the road, I felt, bad
awakened me. I went to bed and fol'
sleep again. Again I was avakenod by
tbo same words this time shrieked in
my ear by on unearthly voice:
Wake it 1 1 wake up! You aro wanted
at the cross-roads.''
I was on my feet ouce more.and cAngbt
Ben's band as he cuine over toward my
bed.
What alls you?'' bo cried.
Nothing," said I. "Did you bear a
VlllClt
Yours," said Ben; -'your yelling woke
me up; you fairly lrigliteued me.'
Ben," said I, "wait till I light a lamp.
I beard another voice. There must be
some oue in the bouse or outside."
Siiltigaiu lit the lamp, but w.e searched
in vain.
'Nightmare," said Ben, when I told
him my t-tnry.
Ben," said I, "what is thereat tbe
crn.K-rouobf
A house." s.tld Ben. He had lived
In tbe neighborhood a long while, aud I
not hu g.
Ooo little house, besido two oak trers
and a fence. Au old in mi lives there a
r.eli uinn, aud a bit of n inier, they say,
His grand-dutighter keeps bouse for
htm."'
"Hen, that fellow may have meant
barm to them,, I may be wanted at the
enws roads."
Biother," said Ben, "go to sleep,
Y u bail n nightmare;" unci Ben plunged
in bmeath tbe blankets and was snoring
again,
I hIko, in ten minutes, slept as sound,
ly (is before, but tbe nwakeuiuy, very souu
came again.
I opened my eyes In see a girl stand
ing at tbe font of my bed. A girl in
while robes, with golden hair all about
her sljiuil lers, who wrung her bands aud
cried: 'Oh, wake up! you are wanted nt
tbe cross roads."
This time I started nut of bed, bathed
iu h cold perpiration, I Iremblod like a
leaf. I had no doubt that I had received
Kiitiiruattirnl warning.
Ben!" I cried; -Ben. for tbe third
lime I have been told that I wanted ut
the the ct os. roads, and I am going,"
And I began to dress as speedily e
possible listening tbe while to tbe storm
raging wild.r and wilder than nt any
other peri d siuce ils cninuienctmeut,
Ben remonstrated with uie in viln.
At last he nlsu began to huddle on bis
clothes.
' If vnu have gone mad I must go with
you and take care of you,' he said.
"But fancy nnother man going ont in
n storm like this to the cross-roads be-
ne n nightmare- caused him tn do so,
nd what would yon think of him?''
I said iintliii'g. All I could have aus
wered would have been:
I am compelled tn go; I mna'. go. I
I ne not refuse, whatever luay be thought
.f roe."
In ten minntes we were silashifg
through the mud and ruin along Ibe
road. It was perfectly dark. Now and
then a bl-ziitg red star iu Ibe dis'nnce
told us that n limp was beaming tbrongh
the rain iu some cottage wiudow, but
otherwise we would not have been con
scions of our proximity tn any habitation
whatever At last. Hearing tho spot
where the road from 8 crnsse tbe
road lo P we were indeed in as t-oll
lary a place ns can be Imagined.
The hniisn, which abu'led on tb? very
angle of the roads, called in familiar
purlauce the cross-roads, was the only
one for some distance in either direction
and certaiuly on such a night we were
not likely to meet nny travelers.
All was quiet as tbe grave. We stood
finite still. In n moment Ben broke out
in one of his wildest laughs.
Well," he said, "how now? Will yon
go home now and have another night
mare?"
But hardly bad the words escaped bis
Hps a shriek broke on tbe air, and a
wprain'sj voice, plilnly conilug from tb
iuterlnr of tbe cottage, cried:
"Help! belpl help!"
"Ben," said I, "we are wanted at tbe
cross-roads;" and then, nuderstanding
each other, without more words we road
our way to n wiudow through which
light sho-je. A niiixtii! curtain drape
tbe panes, but through it we taw an aw
ful sight.
Ao old man lay ca Ui flJor, tad orei
him bent a r ifJSan, clutching his throat
aud holding a pistol to bis car, while
another mau grasped tbe shrieking girl
by thearm n girl iu floating night-dress
with such long golden hair as belonged
to the girl of my vision. Not a moment
was to be wasted, Ben flung his weight
against the slender lattlae aud crnshed
it in, and wo bad grappled tbe rufJlins
before they knew whence the attack came
or how many foes were upon tbem.
I do not Intend to describe tbe stmg.
gle; Indeed, I could not if I would. But
we were strong men, and Inspired by tho
cries of the helpless old man and tbe
terrified girl, we soon had one of the
villaius bound and the other lying pros
trate on the fljor.
Then Ben started for assistauco, nnd
before morning botb wero in j ill. Ben
admitted, ns we shook each other by the
hand, that "we were wanted at the cross
roads." The old man was not n miser, but he
,bad snved some Jew thousand dollars for
bis old fiRe, and, living more plainly
than he need have done, bad given rise
to tbe rumor, and so brought the burg
lars to the cross-roads iu the hope of
booty.
The girl, a beautiful girl of 17, was bis
grauddaugbter.nud as no story is accept
able to the lady readers without a flavor
of romance, will tell tbem she became
in after years not my wife but the wife
of my darling brother Ben.
THE LOST ARMY CHEST.
It nil began with a visit to au nucli- u-
room iu which was being sold itio uncalled-for
packages of tbe Adams Ex
press compauy. I watched the sale for
some moments without thinking ot buy
ing anything, when an old military-looking.
trunk was put tip. Somebody bid
$1, and just as it was about to be sold I
offered SO cents more. It was promptly
knocked dowu to me, aud thnt evening
I got my treasure home. It was in the
winter of 1802. My purchase did not
seem n bour.nzi; there was a lot of soiled
clothing, collars chiefly, and socks, and
at the bottom of the trunk n little tiu
box, locked, which I bad to break opru.
There was a lot of letters in it, written
chiefly in n female hand, aud addressed
to "Dear Harry" nnd "Dear Sweetheart."
This I looked through carefully and saw
that tho story was tbe old oue. "Harry"
was a soldier iu the confederato army
The letters were dated in 'CI and 'C2.aun
Celi.i loved him aud was doing her wo

him to Jo a nnn't part aud come horn?
her a hero. Tbe romance ceased with a
letter iunuotber hand, lelliug how Cell a
ii.td taken the jellow fever nud died.
Then was some other letters, but those
were tlna ouly ones of nnv iulore-it. At

Vickshnrg, June 20. 1803.
Now this, you must admit, was a ro
mancH tn find buried Iu an old trnnk.
I'he ouly clew I could get to the owuer
of Ibe mink was that bis Initials were S.
B II , und the peculiarly rusted stale of
tbe tin case made me half hope Hint it
had rever I eeti opened since the day Ibe
dead bands closed it. The matter did
not strike me as anything more than n
rntnnt.0-) for tbe time being. I felt sure
that no one would enrry around nn old
case of that kind without knowing ils
value. And for more than a year I never
thought for n moment of ciamlrjg into
the matter, It happened, though last
Mardi Oras, thnt I was down in New
Otleaiis.aud out of curiosity I went out
to tbe catholic cemetery aud naked the
sextou to show me the crave of Miss
Ctlls Mnnderson. I remembered about
the date of her death; It was August,
18G2. He pulled over tbe dusty old re
cords of mortality nnd at last found tbe
name we bought. Her grave who single
unmarked mound, uncared for, lonely,
and desolate. Evidently, if tbe trensnre
had beeu touud a dead man's curse was
wailing upon tbe finder. I coulu not
imagine that any man could be base
enough to rob love entombed, and the
absence of that monument persuaded me
that this money still lay in its biding
place ou Big Black. I at ouce made up
my mind to make tbe search, t.nd tbe
next day 1 took lounge to Grand Gull,
tbe nearest polut on the Mississippi to
the Big Black. We got to tbe ferry at
nigbtlall nud secured accommodations at
a house dear by. The next morning I
took the role of a land-hunter aud in
quire i for Amraai'a place. Tbe good
old lady, inj hostess, threw np htr
binds and. asked Bis veer) I bad cm
beard that gone since before the war
The last log of their bouse wan burned
when Orant went through. You'll find
tbe old stone chimney a-stnudlug about
two miles up the road."
"North bank, or south?'
"South. I'll send n boy with yon."
Never mind; I'll walk up," And I
did. Nut to detain you too long, I soon
located the Amram place by the great
staring chimney, nnd tbe hollow where
the stable stood I also fixed. There was
no live oak or any tree in sight but a
rottiug stump, which I took to be tbe
spot indicated. I bad forgotten to bring
a spade, and a seaich finally developed
au old rusty bayonet sticking iu a log
on the river bank. With this I dug at
the stump long and painfully, fiually
uncovering the corner of n chest. Iu
auother half bonr I bad tbe box out aud
open, and there tbe money was before
It was too bulky a load to carry, but I
made shift to get most of the gold und
greenbacks to tbe bouse, that night, hav
ing first put what I could not carry into
another cache. Ou tbe third day I was
ready to go on with my treasure trove,
and, having liberally paid my hostess
nud the darkey, I took the boat for
New Orleans, richer by nearly $70,000
than wbeu I lauded a couple of days be
fore. Iu my stateroom I bad time to
examine my find. The paper money
was all In an excellent state of preserva
tion, nothing more than a Utile mildew
being preceptible. Thero was $02,000,
the great nixjorily being in $10 bill,tbe
rest iu $100 And small bills nud fraction
al cum uoy, Tbe gold, of which there
was $J,000 instead ol $1,500, was iu $20
pieces. There was a card iu the shape
of a voucher for $1,000 of tbe gold, slat
ing that it had been taken for present
uecoseltiea by tbe four captors. My
first step on reaching New Orleans was
to order tbe monument which my dead
benefactor had ordered, nnd Celin Man
derson's grave will no longer be neglect
ed. I said nothing about my treasure
trove to anybody at first, because I was
afraid the government would dUcover it,
but I am advised by my lawyers that
under the circumstances, recovery is
impossible. I found out also that this
veiy money was tho cause of n court
martini iu which one of McPherson's of
ficers was vindicated, although severely
criticised. It seems that tbo four con
federates discovered that tbe paymas
ter's escort was a small one, nnd that
they ambushed the party half n mile
abova tbe ferry, killed three men and
drove off the other ten in n most gallant
manner. Certainly they won tbe money
fairly, and ceriainly I havo inherited it
fairly.

A New Departure.
One good result of the hard times a few
years sgo, was the bringing. luto life an ar
ticle in proprietary medicine, which gave
to every purchaser a full crjutyalent for his

Is from 10 to 25 doses for $1, the best only
readied 40. Messrs. Hood & Co., took a
new departure aud In the article now so
well and favorably known as Hood's Ssrsa

ity or 100 doses for it. These facts com
mend this reined y to the consideration of
the sick, also the well, for they are liable lo
