From the Little Corporal for March.
MARCH WINDS.
DX EMILT HUNTINGDON MILLER.
Listen, Kitty, my darling.'
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.

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: <i Helen Irving, but
it was a very pianissimo laugh, way
down in the corner of her heart lit .-
den by the trunk of a large tree, s!.-.-
sat reading within a lew feet of the
egotist.
In another moment the young man
came in sight. Fred's face was crim
son, and he whispered in visible trepi
dation :
'Do you think she heard me?'
'No,' rejoined the other, half audibly,
'site shows no resentment, she has not
even looked up from her book, you are
safe ; she could not have heaid you ;
but what an angel she is.'
Yes, Helen was an angel as far as
outward beauty might merit the enco
mium She sat half reclining on a rus
tic scat, -triving to smooth out the
iD ti| ies on her checks as she laid her
book aside and began to twine an un
finished wreath of wild roses
Leaning on one white arm, the gnarl
ed white oak tree a back ground, she
tat quite at her case, apparently un
conscious that two handsome young
gentlemen were so very near her.
Approaching with a low bow, upon
which his mirror had set the seal of
limitless grace, Fed-rick Lane took
tho liberty of asking if the young lady
would inform him where Mr. Irving
lived
With an innocent smile the beauty
looked tip.
'.Mr. Lving, the only one in the vil
lage. is my father,' said she rising in a
charming and graceful manner. 'The
large house on high ground, half hid
den by trees and thick shrubbery; that's
where we live. I believe it was an
academy one, that's a sort of select
school, isn't it?' with the most natural
simplicity, turning to Fred.
He replied with another very grace
ful bow.
'Tell your father,' said he, 'that I
shall do myself the honor to call upon
him to-morrow. He will t©member
me, Frederick Lane, at your service.'
'Ygs sir, 1 will tell hint for you,' re
plied Helen, tucking her sleeves around
Iter arm, and making a rather formal j
courtesy. Then catching up her book
and gathering the scattered flowers
she hurried home.
•Now, father, mother, aunt and sis,'
exclaimed the merry girl, bounding in
to the room where the family were at
supper, 'so sure as you and I live, that
.Mr. Lane, you talk so much about, is
in the village. He will call here to
morrow — tiie hrsi specimen of a city
beau, (as of course he wiil be.j all sen
timent, refinement, faultless in kid<.
an-.l spotless in dickey, important and
self assured as one of that kind can
possibly be. Promise me, all of you,
that you'll not lisp one word about
music, reading and writing in my pres
ence, because I have a plan. Father
will not, I know, but if you, sis, will
keep quiet and ask no questions, I
will give you that work box you have
coveted so long.'
'Helen, you are not quite respectful,'
said her father.
'Forgive me, dear father,' and her
arms were around his neck. 'I always
mean well, but I am thoughtless.—
! There, all is right now,' she added,
kissing him lovingly on the temple.
'Come sis what say you ?'
YY by, on that condition, I'll be as
still as a mouse; but what's your rea
j son V
j 'Ah ! that's my own secret,' said
Helen, dancing out of the room
*****
| Helen sat at an open window,
i through which rose bushes thrust their
blushing buds, making both asw.ct
shade and fragrance. The can.ay
overhead burst forth every moment in
wild snatches of glorious music. Hel
en was at work on long, blue .stockings,
early finished, and her lingers flew
like snow birds.
'\ou knit most, admirably. Are you
fond of it?'
'Yes, quite; T like it better than any
thing else that is I mean, I mean that
I can churn well/
•And do you read much?' Fred's
glances had traveled from the corners
of his eves over every table, shell and
| corner in search of some books or pa
j pers. But not a page, nor a leaf, yel
| low or rare, repaid bis search,
i 'Oh, yes,' said Helen with a satisfied
air
'What books, permit me to ask.'
'I read the Bible a good deal,' she
said, gravely.
'ls that all?*
'All; of course not, but what do we
not find in the Bible? History, poe
try, eloquence, romance—the most
thrilling pathos,' blushing and recol
lecting herself she added, with a man
ner as childish as before it had been
dignified, 'as for the oth< r books, ict
mo see, I've got in my library—there's
the primer, (counting on her fingers,)
second class Reader, Robinson Crusoe,
Nursery Tales, Fairy Stories, two or
• iirce Elements of something, Biogra
o ,f som persons or cr, M< liter's
.•iagaaine, and King Will am 111
i acre, isn't that a good assortment?'
Fred smiled.
•Perhaps I don't know as much as
liio.-* wno have went to school,' she
hied, as if disappointed at the mute
rejoinder; 'but in making bread, and
churning butter, and keeping house,
I'm not to be outdone/
The young man felt more in pity
than in love, but his visits did not al
ways so result. Ho began to led a
magnetic attraction, which he mainly
attributed to Helen s beauty ; but the i
truth is, her - weet arllessness of char
actor, engaging manner, and disposi
lion, quite won the city-bred, aristo
cratic Fred Lane. There was a fresh
ness about everything she said or did
j She perplexed as well as delighted him.
Often as he was wondering how
.some homely expression would be re
ceived in good society, some beautiful
sentiment would suddenly drop like a i
pearl from her lips, more remarkable |
f>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,<!
heaving whom l e had married, she
taneied her hour had come.
• Do you suppose she knows anything?'
whispertd a low voice near her.
Heien's eyes sparkled, her fair face
flushed indignantly She turned to
her husband. He .has gone, speaking
at a little distance with a friend.
'Do you play, Mrs. Lane?'site asked.
There was a mocking tone in hervo : ce.
'A little,' answered Helen blushing
'And sing?'
'A little,' was the half reply.
'Then do us a favor,' exclaimed Miss
Sonters, looking askance at her com
p mioiis. 'Come, I myself will lead you
to the instrument.'
Hark ! whose masterly touch? In
stantly was the half spoken wotds ar
rested; the cold ear and haughty head
were turned in listening surprise. Such
melody .' Such correct intonation !
Such breadth, depth and vigorous
touch ! Who is site? She plays like
an angel !
And again, hark 1 A voice rolls—a
flood of melody, cleat, t owerful and
passings weet;astonishmeat gives many
a fair cheek a deep scarlet. There is
a silence unbroken, and the* silver
strains float up;
'Ave! <-ar<* I not for <-old nagleot,
rhoiijDi K*ai s :iot>i<irten Mart,
And M-orn is hut latter word.
Save whi'ti it tavak.- tl.c ht art.
If out- he true.
If ono tie truo.
The world may .•areless he.
Since I may only keep thy love,
And my Aicf to thee.'
'Glorious voice," said Fred to his
friend, who with the rest had paused
to listen
'Who can she—'
The words were suddenly arrested
on his lips. She turned front the piano,
and tiie unknown was his wife.
'1 congratulate you, Fred,' said the
young man at his side; but he spoke to
marble. The color had left his cheek.
He walked slowly toward her
If he was speechless with amaze
ment so was not she A rich hlootn
mantled her check, triumph made her
eyes sput ideas they never did before;
they flashed like diamonds A crowd
gathered to compliment her. In a
grateful acknowledgement she blended
wit and humor.
'H >w 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.

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

light. a merchant of that town named
Jordan Marbourg, for the alleged se

of murder in the second degree byonr
