HOWARD AT ATLANTA. BY JOHN O. WHITTIER Right in the track where Sherman Ploughed his red furrow, Out of the narrow cabin, Up from the cellar's burrow, Gathered the little black people, Where, beside their Northern teacher, Stood the soldier, Howard. He listened and beard the children Of the poor and long enslaved, Reading the words of Jesus, singing the songs of David. Behold ! the dumb lips speaking, The blind eyes seeing ! Bones of the Prophet's vision Warmed into being. Transformed he saw them passing Their new life's portal ; Almost it seemed the mortal Put on the immortal. No more with the beasts of burden, No more with stone and clod, But crowned with glory and honor In the image of God. There was the human chattel In manhood taking ; There, in each dark brouze statue, A soul was waking ! The man of many battles, With tears his eyelids pressing, Stretched over those dusky foreheads His one-armed blessing. And he said : "Who hears can never Fear for or doubt you ; What shall I tell tbe'ehildren Up North about you ?" Then ran round a whisper, a murmer, Some answer devising ; And a little boy stood up : " Massa, Tell 'em we're rising !" 0 black boy of Atlanta ! Bat half wan spoken : The slave's chain and the master's Alike are broken. The one curse of the races Held both iu tether : They are rising, all are rising, The black and white together ! 0 brave men and fair women 11l comes of hate and scorning ; Shall the dark faces only Be turned to morning ? Make time your sole avenger, All healing, all redressing ; Meet Fate half way, and Make it A joy and blessing. pioctilantouo. A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW. "I'll keep a light in the window, :Sandy, till ye come back." "Never mind, mother," said the boy, standing at the door in an uncertain slouching kind of a way, "I—l might be late." "Ws dark along the lane," said the mother, "and a bit of candle light would be ill-spared, if you got a tumble by it. I'll keep the candle hunting till you come back." She was a very hard h attired Scotch woman, healthy and active, though no longer young, and, as she talked, she worked on, ironing the linen she had washed and starched, and heaping it like a snow drift, in a great basket beside her. Four other children were in the room, girls and boys, too young to do much for I themselves, yet Sandy was eighteen, a tall, I handsome fellow, with ripe lips and cheeks and dancing eyes. "If Sandy only would have been a little steadier," the mother often sighed; but to be "steady," was not Sandy's forte. On, ever and always, to the river side, where the other lounging boys watched the boats come in at the ferry, or plunged stones into the water for the village pet, the great Newfoundland, "whiskers," by name, to "fetch." No harm in that, the mother thought, if the boys had all been good; but evenings at the store, they were worse; and the decent washer-woman shivered as she listened for her boy's home-coming steps at night, lest some day he should copy Squire Peeler's boys and drink too much. Peeler's boys were her terror, though they were the sons of the richest man in the neighborhood. But now, as Sg.ndy stood in the door, so tall and fair, and bony, the mother's heart grow light. "He'd be sure to settle down and help her -with the bairns some day," she said. N 044 doubt of that; he was a bit of a boy now; and she ironed on until her work was done, and then put the candle into the window to light the boy along the lane at his home coming. The candle burnt itself away and sunk into the socket, and the very wick smouldered out, leaving only smell and smoke behind it, and still lit no Sandy across the threshold of his humble home, for that night Sandy ran away. The life at home was too hard for him. The restraints of his mother's watchful eye irked him. To do his own will, to have his own way, Sandy left his own home behind him, but he had grace enough to remember with a pang, these words ; " I'll keep the light burning till ye come back, Sandy." Some vague hope of being rich, and do• in great things for those at home, was in his mind, or he believed so, but a sel fish desire to escape the drudgery and the restraint gave the actual impulse to hht steps. lie shipped as a sailor the next day, and began in earnest a wild and reckless sailor's life. It suited him. Now and then when the storm was at its height, and far in the distance the lamps of some tall light-house shone like a great red eye, the tiny flicker of that window sheltered candle would dawn upon his memory, and he would hear his mother's •;6116')ittyllig, "I'll keep it bunting till ye come, Sandy." Now a4d then amidst the yarns and songs of the fbrecastle merry making, he heard the crooming of the tunes she used to sing over her work—eld Scottish ballads, or perhaps some hymn handed down from the time when the old Conveuantors wor shipped God and defied man amongst the purple heather. They never lured him home to her though. The years rolled on, and even this one sting of conscienet ceased its paining. In those days there wei e no such beings as sober sailors, nor captains of temperance principles. Hard drinkers were most old salts, and most young ones. ' Sandy drank with the rest. lie grew broad and stout. His cheeks were bronzed, his light hair changed its tint, his voice grew deep and coarse. He was in no way a good man, but be was a good sailor. As the years passed, he came to be au oilicer—first mate of the Agamemnon. Ills pockets were full enough for all his purposes. The sea was better than land to him, and when on shore he led that sort of life that drives the thought of mother from men's very souls. Ile had friends, at least he thought so, men who knew when his pay jingled in his pocket, women who did not blush to receive the lavish gifts of the jovial sailor. Ile Was not niggardly, nay—once he emptied his last remaining dollar into a beggar's hand. It happened to be a prettyish beggar girl, and he had gone on a year's cruise, shoeless, and during ship wreck, or when the Agamemnon found a sister vessel in distress, Sandy was bravest of the brave; but he had never been gen erous enough nor brave enough to go back to the eastward seaport, where his mother had left the candle burning for him in the window—never, never. Five years were gone, and ten, and fif teen and twenty. A man nearly forty years of age stood in Sandy Cameron's shoes—a man who led the wildest life un der the moon ashore, a man to whom fiery brandy was as water to a child; a man who remembered God only in his oaths; when the Agamemnon came after a long and stormy voyage just within sight of the coast—within sight of its light house, at least, for in the darkness of a stormy night nothing else was visible. Battered with storms already, bruised by the waves, wounded by rocks, still the Agamemnon fought her way hotneward; by the morrow eve sound earth would be beneath the feet of the wave weary mariners—for once at least all longed for it, even wild Sandy eimorou. He was glad. Ile watched the towering lamps with joy, and swore that they were pleasant sights. -Before he slept he stood awhile leaning over the tatrrail, smoking and thinking, if he ever thought. It was an evil lingering for the Agamenmon. A spark from the cigar held in unsteady bands, regarded by eyes no brighter for recent draughts of brandy, makes its way somehow, wind-borne, or demon-borne, into the places where the cargo of the vessel had been stored away, and at the dead of night they of the mid watch saw stealing through the planks beneath them red and yellow tongues of flame. The vessel was on tire! "Fire! tire! tirel" the word rang its way to heaven, shouted by every tongue on hoard. The scene that followed beggars desta p don. None who lived to remember could ever forget it. There Wati no hope from the first, none, save in the ,boats. They were tilled at once. Who could tiwget it? Oh, who can forget it? The old Mall pointing to the lights on shore and crying: " I wanted to see the children once be fore I died." The captain was deathly pale, showing that strange bravery which sailors only possess at such a time. Changing from a dictatori ii old hard drinker to to very hero; clinging in roman tic fondness to his ship; and while he did his best for every soul on board, forgetting himself, and vowing to sink with her. The young passenger and his bride— she clinging to him; the mother with her babe bound to her breast—praying on her knees amid the tumult. The orphan going home to Ats grand parents, w stricken, and yet scarcely conscious o danger. Amidst them all, giganpie in his strength, sobered at last by the awful scenes around him, toiled Sandy Cameron. They remembered him well whose lives he saved. The bronzed man with light hair, and the grip of Hercules. So all the boats and rafts—some to live, some to die—were all afloat. All gone into the darkness, and struggling forms had vanished from the waves, and alone together, the dames approaching them like dancing , demons, stood old Captain Oaks and his first mate, Sandy Cameron. "Captain," said Sandy, " it's most over," "Aye, aye, lad," said the captain, "Give us your fist. We've sailed togeth er a good while now. We seem bound fir the long voyage now. Lord help us, Sandy." " There's a chance yet, maybe," said the first mate. "Try for it, captain." "No," said the sailor, " I go with her. No wife waits for me, no child. She's my wife and children, all in one. Try you, I go down with her." That was the last that Sandy Cameron saw or heard of the captain. A rush rind roar from below, where spirits were stor ed, •ended the words. Then came blind ness and silence and the time passed for him. * * 1* • * At last there was% sound again. The sound of waters. bight, the red lamps of the :light, house. Feeling, that the wet sand against his face. Some strange pro vidence had saved Sandy Cameron's life. Bruiiied and weak ? he lay motionless for a long while. Bruised and weak, still he staggered to his feet at last. Above him—bis sailor eye used to re member such things—towered well known rocks kissed by the struggling zuoonlight. The sea bad flung hint into the arms of him who shall have borne the battle, and futon , and hie orphan, to do all which may and cherish a just and a lasting peace lurselyes and with all nations."-4. Z. his native seaport; and up above, a man wandering along the shore, latching the light house signals, perhaps, was singing a Methodist hymn, "There's a light in the window for thee brother, There's a light in a window for thee ;" and then the tears rolled down the sailor's checks, and his softened heart yearnedfor the mother who had said, " I'll keep a light till ye come back, Sandy." Twenty years ago, and sfie was nearly fifty then. Probably she was dead; but some one might be'in the house, yet who could tell hun of her. And so, in the midnight darkness the sailor staggered up the river path through the changed streets and, led by the compass of his heart, to the-lane where his boyhood home had been so long before. The lane was no more—a street of houses now—but at its end, or he dreampt, San dy saw a candle gleam. He drew near. No fancy misled him. Yes, between the curtains stood a candle, in very truth; and in the window of his old home. He stag gered on, his heart beating wildly, He struck the. door with his hand. I3e wait ed trembling; and the door owned; at it stood an old, old woman, with white hair —his mother. le knew her stern strong features and her blue eyes still. "What's this?" she said, in her Scot tish accent; and he answered. "A poor sailor, shipwrecked and need ing shelter." "Come in," she said, come in and warm ye. It's a bitter night. The can dle led you here, no doubt. It's burnt these twenty yearn. Ye wonder at that? I'd • boy once. lie left me. The candle burns for him. I've a fancy it will wile him back, yet; and I've gone without• bread many a time to keep it burnin'. The others are all dead; but I'll not be lieve he's gone:—and I said I'll keep a light till ye come back Sandy—and I Will." And then he flung himself upon his knees before her, she knew that Sandy had conic back, indeed. He never again forsook her. A better son and a better man than liantly came to be, those of the seaport say they may never see him again. • And if you go thither, they will point you out the little cottage window at which, strong in her fiith for his return, Captain Cameron's mother kept a light burning for all the nights of twenty years—that, and the mansion where, with her son, now married Itml Captain of an mean steamer, she yet 'iv( s to bless him. UNITED AT LAST. The following most romantic, yet well authenticated story, comes from Ohio. After rea(line it, we can almost believe that sweetest of all stories, Evangaline, to be a truth, and not a poetic fiction ; In 18-10, henry lAAlingwell, a young mechanic, living near London, was accus ed of larceny, tried, convicted, and sen tenced to ten years of hard labor in the penal colony of Australia. his wife, be lieving him to be innocent, prepared to follow him, to remain near him during his confinement, and to be the first comfort and cheer him when his time expired. But the ship on which Mrs. Leffingwell embarked encountered a fearful storm and sunk; the passengers and crew barely es caped upoiva raft. They were picked up b e y an American ship bound from New ork to China, where the wife found her self farther than ever from her destina tion. Through the kindness of friends she obtained a passage to Cuba, and thence to Australia. A year and a half had clasped meanwhile, and how was she to know of her husband's locality. Each convict in Australia receives a number, by which only he is known to his koTers; and as Mrs. Leffingwell did not know her husband's number, all her inquiries were useless. Yet for four years she persevered --attpporting herself the while by menial labor—when one (lay she read in a news paper an account of her husband's release, the real perpetrator of the larceny having been discovered. She made immediate inquiries, only to learn that the object of her search had left the island for the United States two weeks after his release. To follow him was her desire, but her means were scanty. Yet at the first pos sible opportunity, which was in 1847, she took passage to New York, where she re mained some years, with her mission still unaccomplished, though she made every exertion to find her husband. When the war broke out she responded to the call for nurses in the hospitals, and faithfully tended the wounded. In one of the hospitals at Washington, Mrs. Lettingwell took care of a soldier who had known her husband well. She learned he was in a Pennsylvania regiment, and wrote to him at once. But the letter never reached its destination; and after weary waiting, the devoted wife went to Pittsburg, only to learn that her husband's term of enlistment was over, and his identity again lost. Advertisements prov ed of no avail, and time crept slowly on. A short time ago, hope having quite died out, she unexpectedly heard that her hus band was living near Cincinnati. She started at once to go to him. lie also had been apprised of her coming, and as she alighted from the cars at Cleveland to procure refreshments he met her. They started at each other instantly—twenty eight years has silvered the head of each, and left lines of care upon their brows— then, regardless of the gaping crowd, with a simultaneous impulse they rushed into each other's arms. At the latest accounts the trials of the past were forgotten, and happy in the present, they had departed in the train for Cincinnati. Whether during all these years, the husband. had also been searching for his wife, history deer Dot reveal.
