SPRING
Come, beauteous Spring, with the birds that sing
And beauteous flowers that bloom—
With balmy air and blossoms fair
Dispel old Winter's gloom.
Come with thy sheen of living green,
And gentle zephyrs soft—
Thy green-leaved trees and light-winged bees
That wing the air aloft ;
Beneath thy shield the heath and field
Bud forth with life anew—
The murmuring stream so brightly gleams
'Mid sunset's golden hue.
Thy balmy breath dissolves in death
Stew Winter's chilling power—
The leaf expands beneath thy wand.
And blooms the beatiteous Hower.
Thy genial glow makes streamlets flow
In gladness through the vale ;
The grasti so green is plainly seen,
And beauty decks the vale, •
The songster sweet his song repeats,
A song so full of glee ;
'Tis sweet and clear—the Spring is here ;
The Spring has charms for me.
Oh ! Spring most fair, with charms so rare.
We ever love thy sway—
And while we live we'll over give
To thee our sweetest lay.
From Putnam's Magazine I
A DIVER'S TALE
THE OCEAN DEPTHS
The life of one who explores the myste
ries of the sea, is not more perilous than
fascinating. The charm of terror bangs
around it, and . the interminable succession
of exciting :events renders it dear to its
professor. Not to the common-diver of
the East, who can remain but for a frac
tion of time beneath the wave, 'and grope
fearfully among rugged ocean mounds, but
to the adept in the civilized mode of div
ing, who, in his protective armor, may re
main submerged for hours, and wander
with impunity, for miles along those un
known regions far below the sea. To him
are laid open the horrors of the watery cre
ation, and he may gaze hpon such scenes
as Arabian story tells us were presented
to the fearful eyes of Abdallab. To him
the most thrilling occurrences of the upper
world seem frivolous ; for, in his memory,
he retains thoughts that may well chill the
soul with_ dread.
I am a diver—a diver from choice—and
lam proud of my profession. Where is
such courage required as is needed here ?
It is nothing to be a soldier;
a diver, how
ever—but I forbear. I will tell my story,
and leave others to judge concerning it.
An appaliug shipwreck occurred not
long ago, upon the wildest part of the
coast of Newfoundland. The tidings of
this calamity reached the ears of thous
ands; but amid the crowd of accidents
which followed in quick succession, it was
soon forgotten. Not by us, however. We
found that the vessel sunk upon a spot
where the water's depth was by no means
great, and that a daring man might easily
reach her.
She was a ste t amer called the Marinion,
and had been seen going suddenly down,
without an instant's warning, by some fish
ermen near by. She had, undoubtedly,
struck a hidden rock, and had thus been
in one moment destroyed.
I spoke to my associates of the plan, and
they approved of it. No time was lost in
making the necessary preparations, and a
short time beheld us embarked in our
small schooner for the sunken ship. There
were six of us, and we anticipated extra
ordinary success.
I was the leader, and generally ventured
upon any exploit in which there was un
common danger. Not that the others were
cowards, for they were all brave men; but
I was gifted with a coolness and presence
of mind of which the others were destitute.
As two persons were needed', in order to
explore the Marmion, I had selected as my
companion a young fellow, whose "steadi
ness and dauntless courage had several
times before been fearfully tested.
It was a calm and pleasant day, but the
southern and eastern wind looked deceit
ful. Small suspicious clouds were gath
ered there, ill of aspect, and "sneaking
fellows, regular hang dog fellows," as my
comrade, Rimmer, remarked to me. Nev
ertheless, we were not to be put off by a
little cloudiness in the sky, but boldly pre -
paled to venture.
So deep Was the water, that no vestige
of a ship's mast remained above the sur
face to point out the resting-place of the
Marmion. We were compelled, therefore,
to select the scene of operations according
to the best of our ability. Down went the
sails of our schooner, and Rimmer and I
put on our diving armor. We fixed our
helmets tightly, and screwed on our hose.
One by one each clumsy article was ad
justed. The weights were hung and we
were ready.
"It looks terrible 'blackish, Berton,"
said Rimmer to me.
"Oh," I replied gaily, "it is , only a lit
tle mist,—all right !"
"Ah ?" He uttered a low exclamation,
which sounded hollow from his cavernous
helmet.
"All ready," I cried in a loud voice,
which they, however, could not easily dis
tinguish. Then making a proper sign, I
was swung over the side.
Down we went, I first, and Rimmer close
behind me. It did not take a long time
for us to reach the bottom. We found
ourselves upon what seemed a broad plain
sloping downward toward the south, and
rising slightly towards the north. Look
ing forward then, a dim black object arose,
which our experienced eyes knew to be a
lofty rock.
I mentioned to Rimmer that we should
proceed there.
I cannot tell the strangeness of the sen
sation felt by ene who first walks the bot
tom of the sea,
There are a thousand objects fitted to
excite the astonishment, even in the mind
of him who has dared the deed a hundred
times. All around us lay the plain, cov
ered by water; but here the eye could not
pierce far away, as in the upper air, for
the water, in the distance, grew opaque,
and seemed to fade away into misty dark
ness. There was no sound except the in
cessant gurgle which was produced by the
eh - cape of air from the breast valve, and the
plash caused by our passage through the
waters. We walked on at a good pace,
for this armor which seems so clumsy above,
is excellent below, and offers little incon
venience to the practiced wearer.
Fishes in, crowds were around us. Fishes
of every shape and size met our eyes, no
matter where they turned. They swam
swiftly by us; they sported in the water
above us ; they 'rased and chased ono an-
other in every direction. Here a shoal of
porpoises tumbled along in clumsy gam
bols, there a grampus might be seen rising
slowly to the surface ' • here an immense
number of smaller fish floated past us, there
some huge ones with ponderous forms float
ed in the water lazily. Some times three
or four placed themselves directly before
us, staring at us, and solemnly working
their gills. There they would remain, till
we came close up to them, and then, with
a start, they would dart away.
All this time we were walking onward,
along the bottom of the sea, while above
us, like a black cloud in the sky, we could
see our boat moving onward upon the sur
face of the water. And now, not more
than a hundred yards before us, wi could
see the towering form of I that ebony rock
which had first greeted our eyes front afar.
As yet, we could not be certain that this
was the place where the Marmiou had
struck. But soon a round black object
became discernable, as we glanced at the
rocky base.
Bummer struck my arm and pointed. I
signed assent, and we moved onward more
quickly.
A few moments elapsed, and we had
come nearer to ;,he rock. The black -ob
ject now looked like the stern of a vessel
whose hull lay there.
Suddenly Bummer struck me again, and
pointed upward. Following the direction
of Lis hand, I looked up and saw the upper
surface of the water all foamy and in mo
tion. There was a momentary thrill
through my heart but it passed over. We
were in a dange . rous condition. A storm
was coming on .
But should we turn back now, when we
were so near the object of our search !
Already it lay before us. We were close
beside it. No, 1 would not. signalized
to Rinnuer to go forward: and we still kept
our course
Now the rock rose up before us, black,
rugged, dismal. Its rough sides were
worn by the action of the water, and in
some places, were covered by marine plants,
and nameless oceauvecretation. We passed
onward, we clambered over a spur, which
jutted from the cliff, and there lay the
steamer.
The Marmion—there she lay upright,
with every thing still standing. She had
gone right down, and had settled in such
a position among the rocks, that she stood
upright here, just as though she lay at the
wharf. We rushed eagerly and clambered
up her side. There was a low moan in the
water, which sounded warningly in our
ears, and told us of swift approaching dan
ger. What was to be done must, be done
speedily. We hurried forward. Rimier
rushed into the cabin. I went forward to
descend into the hold. I descended the
ladder. I walked into the 'engineer's
room. All was empty, all was water. The
waves of the ocean had entered, and were
sporting with the works of man. 1 went
into the freight room. Suddenly I was
startled by an appalling noise upon the
deck. The heavy footsteps of some one
running, as though in mortal fear, or - most
dreadful haste sounded in my ears. Then
my heart throbbed wildly ; for it was a
fearful thing to hear, far dowm in the si
lent depths of the ocean.
Pshaw ! it's only Rimmer.
I hurriedly ascended by the first outlet
that appeared. When I speak of hurry,
I speak of the quickest movement possible,
when covered with so much armor. But
thiS movement of mine was quick; I rushed
upwards. I sprang out on deck.
It was Rimmer.
He stepped forward and clutched my
arm. He pressed it with a convulsive
grasp, and pointed to the cabin.
I attempted to go there.
He stamped his foot, and tried to hold
me back. He pointed to the boat, and
implored me, with. frantic gestures, to go
It is appalling to hear the horror-struck
sohl trying to express itself by signs. It
is awful to see these signs when no face is
plainly visible, and no voice is heard. I
could not see his face plainly, but his eyes,
through his heavy mask, glowed like coals
of fire.
" I will go "fI exclaimed. I sprang
from him. He clasped his hands together,
but dared not follow.
Good heavens ! I thought, what fear
ful thing is here ? What scene can be so
dreadful as to paralyze the soul of a prac
tised diver ? I will see for myself,
I walked forward. I came to the cabin
door. I entered the forward saloon but
saw nothing. A feeling of contempt came
over me. Rimmer shall not come with me
again, I thought. Yet I was awe struck.
Down in the depths of the sea there is only
silence—oh, how solemn! I paced the long
saloon, which had echoed with the shrieks
of the drowning passengers. Ab ! there
are thoughts which sometimes fill the soul,
which are only felt by those to whom scenes
of sublimity are familiar. Thus thinking ;
I walked to the after cabin and entered—
" Oh, God of heaven !"
Ilad not my hand clenched the door with
a grasp which mortal terror had made con
vulsive, I should have fallen to the floor.
I stood nailed to the spot. For there be
fore me stood a crowd of people—men
and women—caught in the last death
struggle by the overwhelming waters, and
fastened to the spot, each in the position
death had found them. Each one had
sprung from his chair at the shock of the
sinking ship, and with one emotion, all had
started for the door. But the waves of
the sea had been too swift for them. Lo
then—some wildly grasping the table, oth
ers the side of the cabin—there they stood.
Near the door was a crowd of people, heap
ed upon one another—some on the floor,
others pushing over them—all seeking
madly to gain the outlet. There was one
who sought to clamber over the table, and
still was there holding on to an iron post.
So strong was each convulsive grasp, so
fierce the struggle of each with death, that
their hold had not yet been relaxed, but
each one stood and looked franticallS , at
the door.
To the door—g ood God ! To me, to me
they were looking ! They were glancing
at me, all those dreadful, those terrible
eyes. Eyes in which the fire of life had
been displaced by the chilling gleam of
death. Eyes which still glared like the
eyes of the maniac, with no expression.—
They froze me with their cold and icy
stare. They had no meaning; for the soul
had gone. And this made it still more
horrible than it would have in life; for the
appalling contortions of their faces, ex
pressing fear, horror, despair, and whatever
else the human soul may feel, contrasting
with the oold and glassy eyes, made their
" THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."-BUCHANAN
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1856.
vacancy yet more fearful. He upon the
table seemed more fiendish than the oth
ers ; for his long black hair dishevelled
and floating horribly down—and his beard
and moustach, all loosened by the water
gave him the grimness of a demon. Oh,
what woe and torture ! what unutterable
agonies appeared in the despairing glance
of those faces—faces twisted to spasmodic
contortions, while the souls that lighted
them were writhing and struggling for life.
I heeded not the dangerous sea which
even when we touched the steamer, had
slightly rolled. Down in these awful
depths the swell would not be very strong
unless it should increase with tenfold fury
above. But it had been increasing though
I had not noticed - it and the motion of the
water began to be felt in these abysses.--
Suddenly the steamer was shaken and rock
ed by these swells.
At this the hideous forms were shaken
and felt. The heaps of people asunder.
That demon ou the table seemed to make
a spring directly towards me, I fled, shriek
ing—all were after rue, 1 thought. I
rushed out, with no purpose but to escape.
I sought to throw off my weights and rise.
My weights could not be loosened—l
pulled them with frantic exertion, but
could not loosen them. The iron fasten
ings had grown stiff. One of them I wrest
ed off in my convulsive efforts, but the
other still kept me down. The tube, also
was lying down still in my passage way
through the machine rooms. I did not
know this until 1 had exhausted my
strength, and almost my hope, in vain
efforts to loosen the weight, and still the
horror of that scene in the cabin rested
upon MC.
Where was Runnier ? The thought flash
ed across me. Ile was not there. He had
returned. Two weights lay near, which
seemed thrown off in terrible haste. Yes,
ltimmer had gone. I looked up ; there
lay the boat, tossing and rolling among the
waves.
I rushed down into the machine room,
to go back so as to loosen my tube I had
gone through the passage carelessly, and
this lay there, for it was unrolled from
above as I went on. I went back in haste
to extricate myself; I could stay here no
longer; for if all the gold of Golconda was
in the vessel, I would not. stay in company
with the dreadful dead
Back—fear lent wings to tuy feet. I
hurried down the stairs into the lower hold
once more, and retraced my steps through
the passage below. I walked back to the
place into which I had descended. It was
dark: a new feeling of horror shot through
me : I looked up. The aperture was
closed--
heavens' was it (dosed by wortal hands
lad Milliner, in his frantic flight blindly
thrown down the trap door, which I now
remembered to have seen open when I
descended' or had some fearful being from
the cabin, that demon who sprung towards
me
I started back terror.
But I could not wait here; I must go; I
must escape from this den of horrors. I
sprang up the ladder and tried to raise the
door. It resisted my efforts: put my head
against and tried to raise it; the rung of the
ladder broke beneath me, but the door was
not raised; my tube came dots❑ through it
and kept it partly open, for it was a strong
tube, and kept strongly expanded by close
wound wire.
I seized a bar of iron and tried to pry it
up ; I raised it slightly but there was no
way to get it up further. 1 looked around
and found some blocks: with these I raised
the heavy door &tittle, placing a block in
to keep what I had gained. But the work
was slow, and laborious, and I had worked
a long while before 1 had raised it fuur
inches.
The sea rolled more and more. The
submerged vessel felt its power, and rock
ed. Suddenly it wheeled over and lay
upon its side.
I ran around to get on the deck above,
to try ane lift up the door. But when I
came to the outlet I knew it was impossi-
ble, for the tube would not permit me to
go so far, and then I would rather have
died a thousand deaths than have ventured
again so near the cabin. I returned to the
fallen door I sat down in despair and
waited for death. I saw no hope of escape.
This, then was to be my end.
But the steamer gave a sudden lurch,
again acted upon by the power of the new
waves. She had been balancing upon a
rock, in such a way that a slight action of
the water would trip her over.
She cracked and groaned, and labored,
and then turned upon her side.
I rose; I clung to the ladder ; I pressed
-the trap door open while the steamer lay
with her deck Perpendicular to the ground.
I sprang out, and touched the bottom of
the sea. It was in good time ; for a mo
ment after, the mass went over back again.
Then, with a last effort, I twisted the
iron fastenings of 'the weight which kept
me down; I jerked it. It was
,loosed, it
broke, it fell. I was floating in the water
—for the air which pressed down for the
divers' consumption constitutes a buoyant
mass, which raises him up from the sea.
Thanks to heaven! There was the strong
boat with my bold brave men ! They felt
me raising ; they saw , me, and came and
saved me.
Nmmer had fled from the horrid scene
when I entered the cabin, but remained in
the boat to lend his aid. Ile never went
down again, but became a sea captain. As
for me I still go down; but only to vessels
whose crews have been saved.
It is needless to say that. the Mar mion
was never again visited.

HON. WILLIAM BIOLER.—This gentle.
1 1 man, as was anticipated by all Pennsylva
nia, has already taken a front rank among
the able and influential members of the
United States Senate. His presence in
the Senate is a significant commentary upon
that wild wave of fanaticism that swept
him down in 1854, when he was the firm
and gallant candidate of the Democracy
for Governor. As if by providential inter
ference the motly minded men who were
carried into the Legislature upon that wild
wave, were unable to elect a Senator, and
the question was reserved for a more aus
picious time, when fanaticism had run its
day, and wise Democratic councils once
more prevailed. Then the true hearted
Bigler was elected to a seat in the United
States Senate. The base combinations
that. produced his defeat, when the reac
tion came, operated powerfully in promo
ting him to higher honors. Such is always
the eventuation of unholy schemes to sub
vert honest men ; and it is a happy featurre
in American character that such is the in
evitable end of all such schemes. The
engines of malice and persecution started
against good men always recoil with dou
ble fury upon the heads of their projectors.
But sympathy was by no means the only
motive that secured the eleCtion of William
Bigler to the United States Senate. He
made a safe and able Governor of our great
State, and was widely known as a true
I patriot and tried statesman. It is well
known to the Democracy of the State that
the high duties committed to a Senator
could not be reposed in safer hands than
those of William Bigler. Hence he was
chosen, and the people gratified. The his
tory of Senator Bigler is full of interest.
Once a poor, printer boy, afterwards editor,
then State Senator, then Governor, then
defeated by the phrenzy of Know-Nothing
fanaticism, and now an honored member of
the United States Senate, and among the
ablest men of that august body. Pennsyl
vanians have no fears that their interests
will not be faithfully guarded when in the
keeping of such men as William Bigler.- 7
