THE MI I EEL
A TALE OF THE SEA.
A mariner by tmpest erost
Lay struggling with the wsve :
His one sole hoge—ail else was lost—-
His hoarded gold to save.
Slung from his neck—a weary weight—
His precious charge he bore:
His fainting strength, at war with fate,
Could bear no feather more.
But not against his life alone
Uprose the breakers wild;
A woman, on the billows thrown,
Held up her drowning child.
'Save her!' she cried, 'in mercy save!'
As through the surf she rolled :
He heard: and cast beneath the wave
His prize of ludian gold.
Fearless he breasts the tropic storm
With limbs by love now strung.
While round his neck, all soft and warm,
Two infant arms are Dung.
He hails the land—the blessed land 1
He drinks its spicy air; %
He. strains to reach its coral strand,
He greets it with a prayer.
Vainly the angry tempest raved,
His feet have touched the goal;
And. with his living burthen saved,
He stands—a rescued soul!
The child has lived, bloomed, loved and died,
Alone the old man lies;
Another sea of stiller tide.
Steals o'er his closing eyes.
Glows now for him no tropic light,
But. where life's waters freeze.
The glory of the Polar night—
The calm of Arctic seas!
His hard-earned gold beneath the deep •
Lies hid; —hut where is she.
His God-gift, whom the star-worlds keep,
His daughter of the sea?
Where cloud-waves foam the rippled skiea,
Touched by the golden day,
A beauteous form in angel guise
Floats up the liquid way.
He follows, hushed in rapt delight,
Of dread and death beguiled,
She, swimming slow WIMI pinions bright,
He, clinging like a child.
The dross of earth is cast away,
She leads him by the hand,
Through heaven's blue sea iter white wings play,
He nears the happy laud.
She parts the wave that beats him back;
He breasts life's surge no more;
His feet, upon an angel's track.
Have touched the immortal shore!
—Household Words.
THE PALACE OF CLAY.
A STORY FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A great king orce made known his in
tention to visit a certain distant corner ol
his dominions, and lo this end it was or
dered that a dwelling should he prepared
suitable tor the reception of his majesty.
Now great sorrow seized the steward of
the king in that province; for the land
was poor, ;.nJ neither marble nor porphiry
could be lound in all its borders ; so that
while he earnestly desired to make a right
royal provision lor the honor of his sever
eign, whom he had never seen, but whose
service was his greatest joy, no means
seemed ready to his hand
Neveitheless, he called the builders,
carpenters and uiasons, and laid before
them tiie king's command, lequiring that
every one should bring together all the
materials which be could find suitable for
the work. For I should bave said that
the province had in old lime been devas
tated by revolt, and the royal dwellings,
which had once been great and splendid,
now lay in ruins.
So the builders came together, but every
man brought the same story of the poor
ness ot the land; and nothing was iound
wherewith a palace could he made, save
the common red clay of the province.
Ti en the steward said to all his men, 'Be
hold our sovereign is a great and mighty
loid, and in ail the world could no dwell
ing he lound lit lor his resting place ; and
in our bauds is only this worthless clay ;
yet of such as we have will we build.'
So the foundations were laid ot stones
brought from the ruins ot the former pal
aces, and the walls were erected from
bricks baked of the clay. Early and late
the master-builder was present on the
spot. Every brick WHS fashioned and laid
in its place, every HI eh was sprung and
perfected under his eye. and by the guide
ot his hand Still the workmen often
proved unfaithful ; arches crumbled or
beams gave way, and the work advanced
but slowiy. Often, too, straggling hands
ot rebels, who still kept up guerrilla war
tare in the piovince, W'ould attack the buil
ding; and the labor ot weeks and months
perished in a single night.
Y ears went on, and the king's coming
was delayed, while still the palace of clay
stood incomplete. In some years it seeiu
ed as if no progress had been made; tor
the repairing ot migrates and mishaps de
manded more time than could be given
to the' building, and the builder's heart
grew heavy with dismay. Still he slack
ened not his efforts, but toiled on, while
taithfulness took the place ot hope, and a
willing heart gave cheer to the hands.
Now the arranging of the grounds ca ; led
for his attention, and here, aa before, the
poorness of his means filled his soul with
sadness For in the rude climate of the
province uo rare exotics couid he won to
grow; and only the hardy mountain daisy
aud blue-eyed gentian and aster —stars cf
faith and courage—would adorn the gar
den But avenues of evergreens led away
toward the sun rising, the way the king
was to approach, and grassy lawns sloped
gently toward the west; while brave and
tender vines grew up over the yet unsight
ly mass of sun burnt clay, and spoke the
love and loyaity ol the servant, while they
sought to hide his poverty.
At length signs were given of the com
ing of the king; and now again the old
man's heart sank within him, for his years
of toil had brought forth ail their fruit,
yet was there no harvest fit for the accept
ance of his master. It was too late now
to remodel the arches, to adorn the ceil
ings, or to lay out new plans for the
grounds; yet with all his toil, the building
was narrow and low, arid many gaps told
of purposes unfulfilled, or of violence from
without; while from no single point did it
present an aspect fit for a royal habitation.
As the shades of evening deepened over
the work, the steward retired to commune
with his own sad thoi ghts. He saw not
the courieis who had hurried before to
prepare the way, nor heard the running to
and fro of messengers, and the joyful bus
tie of preparation that announced the com
ing of the king. But in the depth and
darkness ol the night came a messenger,
who said, The king calleth for thee!'
Trembling and amazed, the servant was
led into the presence of his lord. Over
whelmed with fear, shame and regret, un
able to lift his eyes or to speak, though
words of confession were trembling on his
lip.-, he fell down at his sovereign's feet.
1 hen a voice, sweeter and grander than
anyti irig he had ever dreamed, broke up
on hi> ear. saving. 'M oil dom , t u
and faithful servant
And when at length so if'te , 1 • - eve-,
he beheld in the dawning light -• •.,
palace, adorned with all the marks. a ni.
Iv grandeur. Airy arches of purest ala
barter soared upward toward ttia biue
heavens. Stately pillars of porphiry sus
tained the dome. Odor of sweetest and
rarest flowers floated upon the morning
air. Lt seemed that the coarse und rude
building of clay, upon which his hands
had wrought through all these weary years
had been only scaffolding, within which
invisible fingers had buildsd up the per
fect structure that often he had dreamed
of, but had never hoped to see.
And through all the bewilderment of
his sweet surprise, sounded the words from
his monarch's lips:
'Thou hast beeu faithful in t'try little, I
will make thee ruler over many things;
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord !'
Cards and the Bible—the Contrast.
The purest and the vilest sometimes
stand side by side. Wheat and tares grow
in the same field. The Hibleand the pack
of cards may lie upon the same shelf
The good man bearing the fruits of be
nevoleuce and piety, is neighbor—sits side
by side, it may be, in the house of God,
with him whose heart has become hard and
unfeeling under the very influences that
have blest and saved the former.
This law of' contrast we find everywhere.
Let an incident, illustrate.
On the third day of the fight at Gettys
burg. two cannoniers, connected with a bat
tery, stood side by side The piece to which
they were attached, had once on that day
been taken by the enemy, but was vaiiunt
ly retaken, and placed in position. The
struggle was severe, earnest and prolonged.
One detail of men. and then another, were
called to serve in quick succession in the
heated contest. The men to whom we re
l'er stood, one on the right, the other on
the left of the cannon's mouth. They
cauie to the'r post with characters as unlike
as their previous employments had been.
The one had been a gambler—noted as
such—the other a devoted christian, a
Sabbath school superintendent when at
home. The one spent his short respite in
his favorite game of cards—thoughtless of
God, and of the suffering and dying all
around him ; the christian, while eonin it
ting his soul to Christ for safe keeping,
was busied in doing what he could foroth
erg.
The gambler, when summoned to his
post, places his cards in his cap, intending
to resume his siniul practice—the chris
tian come 9 to his post with the Bible in
his pocket. Canls and the Bible I —note
the contrast ? When loading their pieces,
a hall iroui the enemy's gun takes square
off the head ol the gambler, his cards fly
ing in all directions. The same deadly
missile takes ofl the shoulder of the good
man ; but in his first breath be exclaims.
'Glory Alleluia!' With his remaining
hand be takes his Bihle from his pocket,
and handing it to his sergeant, says: 'Give
that to uiy wile, and tell her that 1 die
happy!' In three minutes he expired.
Thus you see in the heart of each the
ruling passion strong in death. And how
great the contrast! No words can describe
it. They stood side by side, but the mor
al distance between them was as great as
is the width ot that gulf which is impass
able. The one shouted, 4 Glory Alleluia!'
and went up from the flame and thunder
of the battlefield to the peaceful heights of
HEEHHEEST <CKK
heaven. The other died as the tool dieth
—if it) a sense true to his country —none
the less a traitor to his soul and to God.
•Sny ye to the righteous it shall he well

lIMELMMEODX
THE McCLELLAN REPORT.
The series of articles on MeCiellan's
report, in the N. Y. Times, are still con
tinued. We make an extract from lust
Saturday's article:
Two decisive battles had now been
fought on the Chick ahomiuy—Fair Oak*
and Gaines' Mill They were rot battles
of .MeCiellan's seeking—tbey were brought
on by the rebeis, and we are thus presented
with the odd spectacle of a General seek
ing a special theatre of war for the pur
pose of making not only an offensive, but
a 'rapid' and 'brilliant' movement, com
pelled each time he met the enemy to fight
on the defensive. We have the further
spectacle of the man who was constantly
clamoring tor reinforcements, and con
stantly putting the blame of his failures
to the lack.of reinforcements, fighting his
two chief bottles, the jirsl with, one half,
the second •with less than one third his
force !
To the last we find him persisting in the
demand for more troops —to the last we
find the man who WHS ready to
"Drink up Esile, eat a crocodile."
doing nothing with what he had. 'lf at
this instant,' says he, the day after the
battle of Gaines' Mill. T could dispose of
t n thousand rest men. I could gain the
victory tomorrow'—a statement to which
we might reply that, had he not allowed
Porter's corps to be slaughtered the day
before. he would have had the ten thous
a. ■ he there lost Hut it is very remark
able 'hat, itli an enemy 'two hundred
ti.ou-aud' strong, and behind 'strong in
treiieiiments, he should have deemed him
self capable of 'gaining the victory' with
a feeble reinforcement of tea thousand
men, which would have been uo more than
he had during all the time he did not
'gain a victory.' In fact, his victories on
paper and in hyopthesis, are part of the
wonderful phenomena of Gen. MeCiellan's
character
Having lost his base, and the enemy be
ing planted across his communications, it
only remaiued for McClellan to heat a re
treat to the James River. This act he
dignified at the time by the euphemism
of 'change of 1 ase'—a phrase which has
since then acquired a ludicrous meaning it
will be long to lose.
The retreat to the James, considering
the bulk of the enemy was on the left bank
of the Chickabominy and a long inarch off,
was not difficult. Rut, notwithstanding
this fact, and that the troops were put in
tiie most obvious positions, and that in no
case was Gen. McOlellan present at any of
the engagements of 'seven days' fight,'
this movement has been claimed as u mas
terly piece of strategy —comparable, say
his admirers, only to Mureau s retreat
through the Black Forrest. And we dare
say that the credit in the one case is about
as just as in the other; for Napoleon pio
ciaims that Moreau's retreat was 'the
greatest blunder he ever committed.' As
the Directory, adds he, 'could not give
Moreau credit for a victory, they did for '
a retreat,which they cavscd to be extolled !
in the highest terms; but instead of credit,
Moreau merited the greatest censure and
disgrace for it.' We leave the parallel to
the reader's own apprehension.
In all the battles during this retrogade
movement, we have the same utter want
of head—Gen. McClellan in each case be
ing absent getting a fresb position to fall
back upon. This is the first time that we
had known that it is the yirsf and highest *
duty of a Commanding General to recon
noitre positions for a retreat. 'The Corps
Commanders,' says Gen. Sumner, in his
testimony before the Committee on the
conduct of the War, 'fought their troops
IK cord in;/ to their own ideas. We helped
each other. If anybody ask<d for rein
forcements, I sent them; if I wanted, rein
forcements, I sent to others, lie (Mc
Clellan) was the most extraordinany man
I ever saw. Ido not see how any man
could leave so much to others, and be so
confident that everything would go just
right.' Even at the last of the series of
b. tties, when a defeat would have thrown
his army into the James river, at Malvern,
we find him, with the exception of a brief
period previous to and at the end of the
away 'on bard a gunboat.' auu this,
notwithstanding the admitted fact that the
innate valor ol our troops gave the enemy
so decided a repulse that, if vigt rously
followed up, they might even then have
been followed up in to Richmond.
So ends the story of the strange event
ful campaign on the Peninsula—a cam
paign which, though ill-pUnned, was worse
executed, and in which the utter incapaci
ty of the Commanding General to take ad
vantage of even such opportunities as for
tune threw in his way, was most signally
demonstrated. Gen. McClellan did not
bring back with him such an aruiy as he
had taken away. He brought back an
aruiy demoralized, worn down by useless

one in the flood-tide of success, the morale

j Gen. McClellan, in his official report,
got up for electioneering purpose, omitted
such of his despatches to the President
and Secretary of War as would tell against
him. The omitted history has been sup

published.
The Speaker'a Page.
[Correspondent Missouri Democrat.]
No one who has been accustomed to at
tend rhe sessions of Coegress during the
past fifteen years, has failed to notice, at
; the right of the Speaker, a tall, slim, pale
faced, bright looking lad, who gradually
grew to manhood, and still retained hiapo
i gition and title, which was that of 'Speak
er's page.' No matter what party was in
j power in Congress, Thad. Morrice was re
tained. Every new Speaker found him an
, almost indispensable assistant. Standing
just at "the Speaker's elbow, wi:h his arm
; leaning upon the desk, his chin ruSitn
upon his hand, which was between he
j Speaker and the audience, in that attitude
of whispering to the Speaker, the faithful
Thaddeus has stood during many sessions
j of Congress, the prompter of Royd, Hanks,
' Orr. Pennington, Grow, and Coli'us It ia
said he knew more of Parliamentary law
than any man in America And he knew
every member of the House in all these
Congresses; it was his special business to
know them. No Speaker could get along
without such au assistant at first. When
Pennington was Speaker, a good portion of
all the words he uttered wore literally put
into his ear by Thad. He did not know
one quurter of the members eA;n by sight,
; and was sadly deficient in Parliamentary
| law. When any member arose, he would
say, 'the gentleman from,' generally with
| out the least idea what Slate he was to
! name; but so prompt was Thad. to give it,
i and so unobserved in doing so, that not one
j in a huotlred who was uut Cognizant with
i the process would imagine but what Pen
nington knew all the members. And ma
j ny a time tire old nun would commence
] the statement of a question, not knowing
i how we was to fiui.-h his sentence, which
was furnished aud finished by the youthful
Parliamentarian at his elbow. No Speak
fer that ever presided over the House was
so well able to dispense with the serviced
; that Th >d. .Morrice performed as Schuyler
) Colfax, who is the most successful Speaker
ever elected by an American House of
Representatives; ye. Mr Colfajfceannot fail
; to miss greatly the 'Speaker's page,' and
many old members, amid the bustle and
hurry of legislative affairs, will find time
I to indulge in a retrospective glance at the
services, and pay a tribute to the memory
of the ever faithful Thaddeus Morrice,
whose prompt and timely needful words
wiil never he whispered in the ear of an
other Speaker.
