A DREAM OF HOME.
BY MILLER D. EVAS9
I dreamed of home, my childhood’s home,
And joyous was the scene,
That oame to me at midnight hour,
Decked out in beauty’s sheen : /
-1 thought X sat beside the door, j
Beneath the oreeping vine, !
While thro* the oak trees’ waving boughs
I gazed on Brandywine.
My mother’s'form X thought was near,
With love-light in her eye,
And soft and sweet the words she spoke,
As zephyrs floating by.
My sisters, too, were by my side,
With voices rich with glee ;
Again, in gay and happy mood,
We sported o’er the lea.
Once more the laugh rang high and clear,
And old friends joined the play;
We sang and danced in Downing’s grove,
Till evening olosed the day.
Thus, one by ono, in pleasant dream,
The scenes of youth passed by ;
And as thoy vanished from my sight,
They e’ur would causo a sigh ;
A sigh for joys that ne’er will come,
To cheer with pleasure’s rays,;
A sigh, that naught but dream can briDg
Back childhood’s happy days.
Each spot where oft’ in youth I’ve roamed
Each wood-land height and dell;
Each streamlet thero the sun rays kiss,
Can all my past joys tell.
When sorrow comes with gloom and fear, k,
And dims life’s joyou3 rays,
The heart grows gay when dream brings near,
The “light of other days.”
Though brighter lands may moot the eye,
Thro’ gayer scones we roam,
There’s none so dear, there’s none ?o fair,
As ohildhood'a happy home.
Hatyillk, Lan 00., Pa. Sept. 11.
A THRILLING SKETCH
0 .HARMED BY A RATTLESNAKE.
ur w. GILMORE sums
A writer in the United States Magazine pronoun
ces the following description of a young girl, charmed
by a rattlesnake, one of the most remarkable and
beautiful descriptions ever penned :
“ Before the maiden rose a little clump of bushes
—bright tangled loaves flaunting wide in glossiest
green, with vines trailing over them thickly decked
with blue and crimson tiowera. Her eye communed
vacantly with these; fastened by a star-like shining
glance, a subtle ray that shot out from the circle of
green leaves, seeming to be their very eye, and send
ing out a fluid lustre that seemed to stream over the
apace between and find its way into her own eyes ;
very pierciDg and beautiful wus that subtle bright
ness of tbo sweetest, strongest power. And now the
leaves quivered and seemed to float away only to
return, and the vines waved and swung away in fan
tastic mazes, unfolding over charming varieties of
form and color to her gaze; but the star-like eye
was ever steadfast, bright and gorgeous, gleaming in
their midst, and still fastened with straDge fondness
upon her own. How beautiful, with wondrous in
tensity, did it gleam and diiato, growing larger and
more lustrous with every beam it sent forth. And
her own glance became intense, fixed, also; but with
a dreaming sense which conjured up the wildest fan
cies, terribly beautiful, that took her soul away from
her and wrapt it about as with a spell. She would
have fled, she would have flown, but she had no
power to move. The will was wanting to her flight.
Bhe felt that she oould have bent forward to pluok
the gem-like thing from the bosom of the leaf in
whioh it seemed to grow, and which irradiated with
its bright, white gleam ; but ever, as she stretched
forth her hand, and bent forward, she heard a rush
of wings and a shrill scroam from the tree above her
—such a scream as the mocking bird makes, when
angrify it raises its dusky chest and flaps its wings
furiously against its slender sides. Sucb a scream
seemed like a warning, and though yet unawakened
to a full consciousness, it startled and forbade her
effort.
“ Moro than once in her surrey of this strange ob
jeot had fihe heard that shrill note of warning, and to
ner mind tho samo vague consciousness of an evil
presence. Hut the star-like eye was still upon her
own —a small, bright eye, quick like that of a bird;
now steady in its place, an observant seemingly ot
hers; now darting forward with all the clustering
leaves about it, and shooting up toward her, as if
wooiDg her to seize. At another moment riveted to
the vine which lay around it, it would whirl round
and round, dazzling bright and beautiful, even as a
toroh, waving hurriedly by night in tho hands of
some playful boy ; but in all this time the glance
was never taken from her own—there it grow, fixed
—a very principle of light—and such a bright, a
subtle, burning, piercing, fascinating gleam, sach as
gathers in vapors above the old graves and binds us
as we 100k —shooting, darting directly into her eye,
dazzling her gaze, defeating its sonso of discrimina
tion, and contusing strangely its sonse of perception.
She felt dizzy ; for us she looked, a cloud of colors,
bright, gay, various colors, floated and hung like so
much drapory around the single object that had so
secured her attention, and spell-bound her feet. Her
limbs felt momently more and moro insecure; her
blood grew cold, and she seemed to feol the gradual
freeze of voin by vein, throughout her person. At
that moment a rustling was heard in the branches of
the tree beside her, and the bird, which had repeat
edly uttered a siDglo cry above her, as it were of
warning, flew away from his station with a soream
more piercing than ever. This moment had tho ef
fect for whioh it seemed intended, of bringing back
to her a portion of that consciousness she had been
nearly deprived of before. She strove to movo from
the beautiful but terrible presence, but for a while
she strove in vain. Tho rioh, star-liko glance still
riveted her own, and the subtlo fascination kept her
bound. The mental energies, tho mo
ment of their greatost trial, now gathered suddenly
to her aid, and with a desperate effort, but with a
feeling of most annoying uncertainty and dread, she
succeeded partially in the attempt, and throw her
arms backward, her hands grasping tho neighboring
tree, feeble, tottering, and depending upon it for that
support whioh her own limbs almost entirely denied
her. With her movement came, however, the full
development of the powerful spell and dreadful mys
tery before her.
“As her foot reccdod, though but a single pace to
the tree against which she now rested, the audibly
articulated ring, like that of the watch when wound
up with the verge broken, announced the nature of
the splendid yet dangerous presence, in tho form of a
monster rattle snake, now but a fow feet boforo her,
lying coiled at the bottom of a beautiful shrub, with
which, to her dreaming eye, many of its own glori
ous hues had been associated. She was at length
conscious enough to peroeive and feol her danger;
but terror had deprived her of the strength neoessary
to fly from her dreadful enemy. There still glared
the eye, beautifully bright and piercing, fixed upon
her own; and, seemingly in tho spirit of sport, the
insidious reptile slowly unwound himself from his
coil, but only to wind himself up again into his
muscular rings, his great flat head rising in tho
midst, and slowly nodding as it were, towards her, 1
the eye still peering into her own, the rattle slightly '
ringing at intervals, and giving forth that parolyz- |
ing sound which, once heard, is remembered forever. •
The reptile all this while being conscious if, and to
sport with, while seeking to excite her torrors. Now j
with its flat head, distended mouth, and curving '
neck, would it dart forth its long form to warn her — j
its fatal teeth, unfolding on either side of its upper j
jaws, seeming to threaten her with instantaneous !
death, while its powerful eye shot forth glances of
that fatal fascination, malignantly bright, which, i
by paralyzing with a moved form of terror and of ,
beauty, may readily account for the spell whioh it!
possesses of binding the feet of tho timid, and deny- j
ing even to fear the privilege of flight. Could she ;
have fled ? She felt the necessity, but tho power of'
her limbs was gone; and thoro it still lay, coiling
and uncoiling, its arched neck glittering like a ring j
of bronzed copper, bright and lurid, and the dread- !
ful beauty of its eyes still fastened, eagerly contem- I
plating the victim, while the pendulouß rattle still 1
rung the death note, as if to prepare the conscious
mind for the fate which is momentarily approaching
the blow. Meanwhile, the stillness beoame deathlike,
with all surrounding objects. The bird had gone
with its soream and rush. The breeze was silent.—
The vinos ceased to wave. The leaves faintly quiv
ered on their stems. The serpent once more lay
still, but the eye was never turned from its victim.
Its corded muscles are all in a ooil. They have but to
.unolasp suddenly, and the dreadful foils will he upon
her in full length, and the fatal teeth will strike, and
the deadly venom whioh they secrete will mingle
with the life blood in her veins. °
“ The terrified damsel, her full consciousness re
stored, but not her strenth, feels all her danger
She sees that the sport of the terrible reptile is at
an end. She cannot now mutate the horrid ex
fresnon of hi* eye. She tried to scream, but her
voice died away to a feeble gurgling in her throat.
Her tongue is paralysed—her lips sealed; onoe more
she strives for flight, but her limbs refuse their office.
She has nothing left of life but its fearful conscious
ness. It is in her despair, that as a last effort she
succeeds to scream, a single wild cry forced
from her by this accumulated agony; she sinks
down upon the grass before her enemy—her
eyes however still open, and still looking upon those
which directs ever upon them. She sees him
approach, now advancing, mow receding; now swel
ling in every part with something like aDger, while
his neck arched beautifully like that of a wild horse
under the curb, until at length, tired os it were of
play, like the oat with her victim, she sees the neck
growing larger, and becoming completely bowed as
if to strike —the hugh jaws unclosing almost directly
above her; the long, tubulated fang charged with
venom, portruding from the cavernous mouth —and
she sees do lnsensibility came to her aid,
and she lay almost lifeless under the folds of the
very monster.”
Nothing in ancient or modern literature is more
strikingly conceived, or vividly described than this
Beene. At this moment, when we feel that the sum-
mer air is unchanged with this evil presence, and na
ture aghast in her solitudes under these human
pangs, the arrow of a young savage transfixes the
neck of the reptile, and thus turns aside the deadly
faDg. The accessories are all in keeping—the snake
like vice, the golden and crimson blooms, tho shad
ows of the old woods, the cry of the bird, all enhance
the sense of the_ beautiful and remote, while the
touches which we have italicised heighten the effect,
till we feel tho glittering eye of the beast, and its
terrible undulations rise image like to the mind, and
we see how all the benignities of nature are at war
with the spirit of the reptile.
A FEARFUL. NIGHT ON THE WAVES
The following is the account given by one of the
rescued passengers of the ill-fated steamer Central
America :
Mr. George gives a thrilling of the scenes
after the steamer had gone ddwn. The waves, as
they rose and fell, revealed a crowd of human heads.
Those unfortunates who had lost their life-preservers
or planks while under water, owing to the foroe of
tho whirlpool, wore frantically snatching at the bro
ken pieces of the wreck, which, breaking from the
ship us she continued to descend, leapt above the sur
face and fell with a heavy splash. The cries that
arose, mingled into one inarticulate wail, and then
tho lustier and less torrified shouted for assistance to
the bark Marino which was far beyond hailing dis
tance The waves dashed thorn one against another
at first, but spoedily thoy began to separate, and the
last farewells were taken. Onornau called
in our informant's hearing, “if youaresaved, Frank,
send my lovo to my dear wife," but the friend ap
pealed to answered only with a gurgle in the throat.
Ho was washed off his plank ani perished as his com
panions spoke. Many were of separating
themselves as far as possible from the rest, being
fearful lest some desperate struggle might seize hold
of them and draw them under. Others, afraid of
their loneliness, called to their neighbors to keep to
gether. Generally, they strove to oheer each other
as long as they remained within hearing, and when
the roar of the waves drowned all but tho loudest
shouting, the call of friendship or tho cry of despair
was heard in the distance, and infused confidence or
increased dismay in many a fulling bosom.
It was when he had drifted far from the compan
ionship of any of his fellows in misfortune that Mr.
George began to realize his situation. The night
was quite dark. Occasionally, as the driving clouds
parted and gave a glimpse of sky, a star or two would
bo visible, but this was very seldom, and offered but
tho faintest gleam of hope that the morning would
dawn fair and calm. The swell of the sea was great,
and successively the poor floaters, holding on to their
planks with tho onergy of despair, were riding on
tho brink of a precipice and buried in the deep val
ley of water. Our informant, liko many of the rest,
was seized with the fear of sharks. Kespiration waß
very difficult, owing to the masses of water which
were constantly dashed upon them, as wave after
wave rolled by. Fortwoor three hours the water
was not unpleasantly cold, and it was uot until about
1 o’clook on the morning of Sunday, when they had
been nearly five hours in the water, and a fresh
chilling wind arose, that their limbs began to feel
benumbed. >■
Some of tho incidents described to us occurring
before or about that time were truly thrilling. One
man, floating in solitude, and terrified at his loneli
ness, after shouting himself hoarse to find a compan
ion, saw at length a man with two life preservers
fastened about his body drifting towards him. His
heart leapt with joy at tho welcome sight, for the
feeling of desolation which had overcome him was
terrible to endure. He called to the other to join
him, if possible, and made every exertion to meet
him half way. There was no reply, but the other
’ drifted nearer and nearer. A wave threw them to
gether. They touched. The living man shrieked
in the face of a corpse. Tho other had been drowned
by the dash of the billows, or had perished from ex
haustion.
When rising and falling with the swell of the
waves tho lights of tho barque Ellen were first dis
cerned by the survivors in tiie water, and the thrill
of hope that at once filled every breast amounted, it
may well be believed, to aperfoct ecstacy. Let Mr.
(xeorgo speak for all. He says: ‘T never felt so
thankful in all my life. I never knew what grati
tude was before. Ido not know whether 1 cried or
not, but I know I was astonished to hear my own
laughter singing in my ears. Ido not know why I
laughed. That verse, ‘Hod moves in a mysterious
way,’ kept passing in and out of me—through me
rather —as if I had been the pipe of an organ. It
did not come to me by my own volition, but some
how made me remember it. When the lights ap
proaohed nearer, a score of voices sprang up around
mo crying, ‘Ship ahoy/ ‘Boat ahoy/ and then I be
fan to shout too. And I had never any doubt that
should be saved till I saw tho lights pass by, at
about half a mile from where I was, and recede in
the distance. Then I began to give myself up for
lost indeed. But 1 slowly drifted towards her again
till I could make out her hull and one of her masts,
and presently I floated close to her and shouted, and
was taken up.”
The Model Husband.—On a week-day he walks
with his wife, and is not afraid of a milliner’s shop.
Ho even has “ change” when asked for it, and never
alludes to it afterwards. He is not above carrying a
large brown paper parcel or a cotton umbrella, ortbe
clogs, or even holding tho baby in his lap in an omni
bus. Ho runs on the firpt knock at tho door, when it
is raining. He goe6 outside if the cab is full. He
goos to bed first in cold weather. He will got up in
the middle of tho night to rock the cradle, or answer
the door bell. He eats cold moatwithoutamurmer,
or pickles, and is indifferent about pies or puddings
Tho cheese is never too strong, or the beer too small,
or the tea too weak for him. He believes in hyster
ics, and is melted instantly with a toar. He patohes
up a quarrel with a volvet gown, and drives away
the sulks with a trip to Epsom or a gig in the park
on a Sunday. Ho goos to church regularly, and
take his wife to tho opera once a year. Ho plays
for her losses at cards, and gives her all his winnings.
He never fiica out about his buttons, or brings home
friends to supper. Hisclothes nevor smell of tobacco.
He respects the curtains and never smokes in the
house. He carves, but never secretes for himself
“ the brown.” Ho laces his wife’s stays, even in De
cember, and nover asks for a fire in the bed-room on
the most wintry nights. He respects the fiction of
his wife’s ago and would as soon burn his fingers as
touch the bright poker. Ho neverinvades the kitch
en, and would no more think of blowing up any of
the servants than of ordering the dinner, or having
the tray brought up after eleven. He is innooent of
a latch key. He lets the family go out of town once
every year, whilst he remains at home with one knife
and one fork, sits on a brown Holland chair, sleeps
on a curtainless bed, and has a chairwoman to wait
on him. He goes down on Saturday and oomes up
on the Monday, taking with him tho clean linen,
and bringing back the dirty clothes. Ho checks the
washing bill. Ho pays the housekeeping money with
out a suspicion, and shuts his eyes to the“ sundries. ’ ’
He is very easy and affectionate, keeping the wedding
anniversary punctually ; never oomplaining if
dinner is not ready; making the breakfast himsolf
if no one is down; letting his wife waltz and drink
porter before company. Ho runs all her errands,
pays all her bills, and orics like a child at her death.

COUNTY MAP.—The subscribers are preparing to
publish » new and complete
MAP OF LANCASTER CITY AND COUNTY,
t'i be entirety made up of actual surveys to ho taken upon
the ground, and to be drawn to a much larger scale than
any heretofore issued. The enlarged scale of the work will
admit of the great advantage of clearly designating every
public and private improvement, and attaching the name
thereto: also, of ascertaining with more piecision, any re
quired distance throughout the county. Every public
Road and Stream. Mill. Mill Race and Mill Dam, Store,
Hotel. Post Office, Place of Worship, School House, Smith
Shop. Ac., cfcr-., will b« acurntoly shown thereon. Tho
Dwellings also, with the names of owners attached, will be
inserted in tbe proper position. 'An enlarged City Plan,
and PNns of the Boroughs and principal Villages, will be
n--‘rtfd in the margin. A Table, showjug tbe correct dis
(uticm from each place of that of every other
in the county, will be upon the Map; also, a Statistical
Table, and views of the principal County Buildings.
Without a re-survey of the whole county, an accurate
nnp of it cannot be published ; we have already m/ide sur
veys of a a number of the Townships, and many of the ln
b•*l'Rants of the county are aware of the time and pains we
h«v>* taken to perfect them. We will bo equally assiduous
in our endeavors to make this a reliable and valuable work,
and hope to merit a share of public patronage.
The size of our Map will be at least five feet by four, and
it will cost $5 per copy. 11. F. BRIDGKNS, Pbil’a.

EXPLANATION.
The -term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotot, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, io which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the picture will retain Its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be Injured by
water or climate. It is bold In its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be soeu in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
Slack varnish in immoHate contact with the Picture.—
buch are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.

type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
