Here by the fireside bright— Do you know what the winds are saying, Abroad in the gusty night? Moaning under the windows, Like ttie voice of a child that grieves— Making the maples shiver And creak at tiie cottage eaves. Listen. Kitty, my darling! The winds are singing a song, Of the Spring that is softly stealing From sunnier lands along The snowdrops smile as they hear it, A smile for the Spring's sweet sake; And the shy little violets whisper: "We hear! we are broad awake!" No matter. Kitty, my darling 1 Tho' the March winds drearily blow, I am sure that the daisies are stirring Down under tho sheltering snow. In spite of the blustering weather, The crocus is budding again ; Aud the daffodils whisper together, And wait for the April rain. MiscEXaiL.^isr^r.. ONLY A COUNTRY GIRL. 'You are mistaken, I would sooner die than marry a mere country girl.' 'But, Fred, suppose ber intelligent, moral, full of nature's poetry, tender hearted, graceful, unspoiled by admi ration, a, guileless, simple, loving crea ture ' Ob,' said Fred laughing, 'a choice collection of virtue and grace. Coun try beauties are always sweet, and so are country cows. No, I tell you if she was as handsome as an ar.gel, with the best sense in the world, still, if un skilled iti music and literature, with - "i '.b.ve churns ami knitiiu_ ■ • I would uot marry her Dr a fortune/ •in! iia !' laugh: r originality than for brilliancy. 'lt I should fall into the snare,' | thought he, I can educate her; it wi!i j be worth Lying.' It was useless to combat his pass s i at last he fell at Helen's feel f . . j ratively speaking, and confessed .... love for her. '1 care not, Helen, only be mine,' was ! bis invariable answer to her exclama tions of UMWortbiness, as to how she would appear in society. They were married, had returned from-heir wedding lour and yet at the expiration of their honeymoon, Fred was more in love than ever At a grand entertainment, given by the rel ! atives of the bridegroom, Helen look }ed most beautiful. Her husband did j not insist that she should depart from 1 I simplicity; and, indeed, without jew- i j els or laces, with that fresh white robe, ; j simple sash of blue and ornaments of I fair moss roses, she was by far the ! ! most lovely creature in tbe room. As she entered tbe great saloon, j blazing with light her heart failed her. 'Shall I love him as dearly,' she ask ed herself, 'if I find that he is asham- j ed of me ? I cannot bear the thought; I but should be overcome all conven tional notions, then I have a husband to be honored, and then he shall be proud of his wife.' How she watched him as he present ed her to one and another. 'Simple,' whispered a magnificent girl, resplendent with diamonds, as she curled her lips and passed by The ob- ! sei'vr.tiiui escaped neither Helen nor her husband She looked at him. He smiled a lover's smile, and only drew her more closely to bis side. Many in ( that brilliant gathering pitied poor ; Fred and wondered why be had mar tyred himscli on the shrine of ignorant rusticity But he 1 oh joy ! he seemed only to love her the more; as she clung to his arm so timidly, his noble face express ed the pride he truly felt; he looked as if he would have swept back the j scorners with one motion of his hand, had they ventured one wave too high on tho shore of his pride. He seemed to excuse every look, every word not HaW2S®®7rSTa S£S3-tF2a?SS (6sTrsrtKT d IHSOTo in strict coniformity to etiquette ; and Helen's heart beat high and tears came to her eyes when site felt how noble a heart she had won. The young bride stood near her bus band, talking in a low tone, when u new corner appeared She was a beau tiful, siightiy formed creature with haughty features, ill-concealed scorn lurked in the brilliant eyes whenever she glanced toward Helen. Once she ii Id sway over the heart of Fred, ;m,iw well she talks; who would have thought it! lie has found a treasure,' was whispered all around the room Meanwhile Frederick Lane had stood like one enchanted, while his little rus tic wife quoted books with perfect abandon, admired this one, condemned that. A sedate looking student lost himself in a Latin quotation; Helen - u iti ugly finished it, and she received took eloquent with thanks. Bon • t is, repartee, language rich in fanev a. ol imagery fell trom i>er beautiful lips, as if they had received a touch from fairy hand Still Fred walked by her side like one in a dream, pressing his hand over his bewildered eyes to be sure of his senses, when he saw her bending, a breathing vision of loveliness over the harp, her full arm leaning on its gold en strings, heard again that rich voice, now plaintive with some tender mem ory, rise and fall in sweet and sorrow ful cadence. •Tell me,' said he, when alone,'what does this mean? I feel like one awa kened from a dream.' 'Only a country girl,' said Helen gravely; then falling into her husband's arms, she exclaimed, 'forgive tne; I am that little rustic you would sooner die than wed Are you sorry that you married me?' •Sorry, my glorious wife. But, Hel en, you could not deceive. Did 1 not understand you had never 'Been at un academy ' she broke in 'never took u music lesson, never was taught to sing—ail very true; and yet I am all you see I: re to night, my self my own teacher; with labor and diligence I hope i am worthy to be the wife of one so good and exalted as, I find my husband to be.' Reader, wouldn't you and I like to be there just now to hear ber story; the laughing between smiles, her pret ty face all dimples, as she tells bow she banished the piano, books, harp, portfolio, music, ail into an empty room by themselves, and locked the door, leaving them to the seclusion and dust, while the young country girl, without any deep laid scheme, suc ceeded in convincing the well bred city gentleman that he could marry a charm ing rustic, even if Iter fingers were more familiar with the churn and knitting needles than the piano and harp. Be kind to your neighbor. Vol. LVI. No. 10- Terr fL Exilosion—Five Men Killed ami Six Others Wounded—Deatiac tion of a Furnaoe. A most terrific explosion of a boiler occurred about half past seven o'clock Monday evening, February 26, at the furnace of J. & 11. J. Meilly, located at the junction of ihe Pennsylvania and Union Canals, at the borough of Mid dlotown—resulting in the oomph to destruction of the furnace, and the death of five men, besides the wound ing of six other persons, one of whom cannot live Light boilers—four large : and four small—were in the furnace, one of which was raised from its bed, passed up and through the building, and eatried a distance of five hundred yards, over a brick dwelling and a fur nace. and lodged in the Pennsylvania Canal. All the other boilers were torn from their places, and scattered in va rious directions, some of them passing through houses and other buildings.— A portion of a boiler was hurled through a room in which two women were lv ing sick, but missed them. The bridge over the Union Canal was can ied away, ' nothing but the abutments remaining. The cinder cart and the horse attached to the same, were standing near tin* building, and were carried a distance of fifty yards, into the Union Canal. Thirteen men were in the furnace at the time the explosion occurred. Of these the following were kithd—James Thomas, chief engineer; Benjamin Boyer (a traveler who had taken lodg ing in the building;) Josiah Sleeper, an employee; George W. B rrell, an em ployce; Lli Ay res (colored.) an cm plovee Wounded —Patrick O'Donneli. scalded; Neil Reiily, scalded and bruis ed; Richard Malone, slightly wounded; JSleazer Randall, dangerously wounded in head and badly scalded; cannot stir vive; Henry Scroggins, slightly wound ed; John Myers, siightly wounded The cause of the explosion is rot known. Theehioi engineer was at his post of duty, and was found dead, near by, shorly after the aceiden* occurred. A colored boy who had taken lodg ing in the sand house, was found cov ered with stones and rubbish, but upon being released from bis unpleasant po sition, ran away and did not return until this morning. He was unable to give any account of the accident. Many of the dwellings located in the vicinity of the furnace were more or less shattered by the fragments of tho exploded boilers, and the whole town was shook to its foundation by the ex plosion, the report of which was heard as far as tl ighspirc, a distance of about three miles. The loss of the Messrs. Meilly will reach if not exceed fifty thousand dol lars. They intend to rebuild the works immediately, and workmen are already being employed in removing the re mains of the old structure, which is a total wreck. Startling Sequel to the Moor© Mar' Tragedy The Johnstown correspondent of the Lbcnsburg Alleghenian, gives the following startling sequel to a shock ing tragedy that had its occurrence in that place some three years ago, in which, orr readers will recollect, los. Moore shot and killed in broad day light. a merchant of that town named Jordan Marbourg, for the alleged se duction of his (Moore's) wile. Moore wus tried and found guilty of murder in the second degree, but so great was the sympathy manifested for him that the Governor was prevailed upon, if our memory serves us right, to pardon him before he was taken to the peni tentiary, to which he hud been sen tenced for a term of six years. But here is the sequel: "Few of our readers can have for gotten the Moore-Marbourg tragedy of three years ago, which created such inteuse excitement throughout the State at th*t time. As a startling se * quel to that tragedy, it is currently reported to-day that for a crime pre cisely similar to that of which he was tried and found guilty then Jos Moore was executed on the gallows in Chicago on Friday last It will be tvn em be red that .Moore was pardoned Ly the Gov ernor, after having been found guilty of murder in the second degree byonr court, and sentenced to six years' im prison ment in the penitentiary. It will also be remembered that after his restoration to freedom, he hastened again to embrace his wire, who was the guilty cause of all his troubles, and that*together the two moved to lowa. Tho story goes, that this unfortunate woman, whom surely the devil must have instigated, deserted ber husband, who had sank his hopes almost ot heaven for her smiles, and eloped with a minister of the Disc pies' e iureh Moore followed the twain, and meeting his wile's paramour in the street, his hand was once more died in human blood He was tried for tho crime, convicted, and as has been stated, paid the penalty ot his life on the gallows " Bices your enemies.
