Here is a , bit of poetry which we recommend all
our young friends to learn by heart :
There's a little mischief-making
Elfin, who is ever nigh,
Thwarting every undertaking,
And his name is By-and-by.
What we ought to do this minute,
"Will be better done," he'll cry,
"If to-morrow we begin it"—
"Put it off," says By-and-by.
Those who heed hie treacherous wooing
Will this faithless guidance rue :
What we always put off doing,
Clearly we shall never do ;
We shall reach what we endeavor
If on Now wo more rely ;
But unto the realms of Never,
Leads the pilot By-and-by.
For the Intelligencer
ELLA-A DIRGE
The flowers of spring will bloom again,
And birds their matins sweetly sing,
And sunny glade and shaded dell
Alike with melodies will ring ;
But Ella fair will nevermore
Those grateful songs of gladness hear
When Summer's flowers all dying lay,
And Autumn winds did sadly rave,
We took poor Ella out one day,
And,laid her in the cold damp grave!
She died, just as the flowers die
When Summer's dying breath has come;
Her gentle spirit longed to fly
In triumph to its angel home.
We mourn for her, and yet we know
Tha) still she lives beyond the sky,
In realms unlike this earth below,
In Heaven, where flowers never die!
The flowers of spring will bloom again,
And birds their matins sweetly sing,
And sunny glade and shaded dell
Alike with melodies will ring ;
But Ella fair, will nevermore
Those grateful song of gladness hear

short, did everything that ever yet was
done in our line—ay, and did it well, too,
though perhaps it is not my place to say
so. At all events, the great colored post
ers were pasted up all over the town, and
our salary was increased to fifteen pounds
a week ; and the gentleman who writes
about the plays'in the Sunday Snub was
pleased to observe that there was no per
formance in London half so wonderful as
that of the Patagonian Brothers, for which
I take this opportunity to thank him kind
ly.
We lodged (of course together) in a quiet
street on a bill near Islington. The house
was by kept Mrs. Morrison, a respectable,
industrious woman, whose husband had
been a gas-fitter at one of the theatres,
and who was now left a widow with one
only daughter, just nineteen years of age.
She was very good, and very pretty. She
was christened Alice, but her mother called
her Ally, and we soon fell into the same
habit ; for they were very simple, friendly
people, and we were soon as good friends
as if we had all been living together in the
same house for years.
I am not a good hand at telling a story,
as I dare say you have found out by this
time—and, indeed, I never did sit down
to write one out before—so I may as well
come to the point at once, and confess that
I loved her. I also fancied, before many
months were over, that she did not alto
gether dislike me ; for a man's wits are
twice as sharp when be is in love, and
there is not a blush, or a glance, or a
word, that he does not contrive to build
some hope upon. So one day, when Grif
fiths was out, I went down stairs to the
parlor, where she was sitting by the win
dow, sewing, and took a chair beside her.
4 Ally, my dear,' said I, stopping her
right hand from working, and taking it up
in both of mine. Ally, my dear, I want
to speak to you.'
She blushed and turned pale, and
blushed again, and I felt the pulses in her
little soft hand throbbing like the heart of
a frightened bird, but she never answered
a syllable.
Ally, my dear,' said I, ' .1 am a plain
man. I am thirty-two j ears of age. I
don't know how to flatter like souse folks,
and I have had very little book learning

Curse you !' he interrupted, turning a
livid face upon me, and an eye that glared
like a tiger's. Curse you! How dare you
come to me with that tale, you smooth
faced hound—to Me, of all men living.'
I was so little prepared for this burst of
passion that I had nothing to say ; and so
he went on.
Why can't you let me alone ; what do
you tempt me for ; I've kept my hands off
of yeu till now.'
He paused and bit his lip, and I saw
that he was trembling from bead to foot.
I am no coward—it's not likely that I
should be a Patagonian Brother if I was
—but thesight of his hatred seemed to
turn me, for the moment, quite sick and
giddy.
'My God!' said I, leaning up against
the table, what do you mean I Are you

straight at me and then walked away.
don't know how it was ; but from that mo
ment I knew all. It was written somehow
in his face.
Oh, Ally, dear !' I said to myself, with
a groan, and sat down on the nearest
bench ; I believe that, at that moment, I
scarcely knew where 1 was, or what I was
doing.
I did not see him again till we met on
the stage, about an hour afterward, to go
through our scene in the rehearsal. It
was a grand Easter piece, with a great deal
of firing, and real water, and a living cam
el in last act; and the Griffiths and I
were Mozambique slaves, performing be
fore the Rajah in the Hall of Candelbaras.
Excepting that it cost a great deal of
money, that is all I ever knew about the
plot; and, upon my word, I don't believe
any body else knew much more. By t his
time I had, of course, recoveredluy usual
composure ; but I could see that Griffiths
had been drinking, for his face was flushed
and his balance unsteady. When the re
hearsal was over, Mr. Rice called us into
his private room and brought out a decan
ter of sherry, with which, I must say, he
was always as liberal as any gentleman
could be.
Patartonians,' says he, for he had a
wonderful c merry way with him, and al
ways called us by that name, ' I suppose
you would make no objection to a little
matter of extra work and extra pay on the
sixth—just to end the season with some
thing stunning—hey V
No, no, sir, not we,' replied Griffiths,
in a sort of hearly d manner that wasn't
natural o him. We're ready for any
thing Is it the flying business you spoke
about the other day
Better than that,' said the manager,
filling up the glasses. It's a new French
feat that has never yet been done in this
country, and they call it the trapeze.—
Patagonians your health:'
So we drank his in return, and Mr. Rico
explained all about it. Lt was to be an
exhibition of posturing and a baloon ascent
all in one. At some distance below the
'tar was to be secured a triangular wooden
framework, which framework was called
the trapeze. From the lower pole, or base
of this triangle, one of us was to be sus
pended, with a ligature of strong leather
attached to his ankle, in case of accidents.
Just as the balloon was rising and this man
ascended head downward, the other was
to catch him by the hands and go up also,
having, if he preferred it, some band or
other to bind him to his companion. In
this position we were then to go through
our customary performances, continuing
them so long as the balloon remained in
sight.
All this,' said Mr. Rice, sounds much
more dangerous than it really is. The motion
of a balloon through the air is so steady
and imperceptible that, but for the knowl
edge of being above the housetops, you
will perform almost as comfortably as in
the gardens. Besides, lam speaking to
brave men who know their business, and
are not to be dashed by a trifle—hey, Pat
agonians V
Griffiths brought his hand down heavily
upon the table, and wade the glasses ring
again.
. .
I'm ready, sir,' said he with an oath.
I'm ready to do it alone, if any man here
is afraid to go with me !'
He looked at me as he said this, with a
soft of mocking laugh that brought the
blood up into my face.
If you mean that for me, John,' said I,
quickly, lam no more afraid than your
self, and, if that's alrabout it, I'll go up
to-night !'
If I was to try from now till this day
next year, I never could describe the ex
pression that came over his face as I spoke
those words. It seemed to turn all the
currents of my blood. I could not under
stand it then—but I understood it well
enough afterward.
Well, Mr. Rice was mightily pleased to
find us so willing, and a very few more
word, ended the matter. Mr. Stains and
his famous Wurtemburg balloon were to

colored lamps were to be hired ; and Grif
fiths and I were to receive twelve pounds
apiece for the evening, over and above our
general salary.
Poor Ally ! In the midst of the excite

I had forgotten her, and it was not
till I was out of the theatre and walking I
slowly homeward that 1 remembered she
must be told. For my part, I did not be
lieve there was the slightest danger ; but I
knew how her fears would magnify every
thing, and the nearer I came toward Isling
ton the more uncomfortable I felt. After
all, I was such a coward—for 1. always am
a coward where women are concerned—
' that I could not tell her that day, nor even
the next; and it was only ou Sunday, when
we were sitting together after dinner, that
I found courage to speak of it. I had ex
pected something of a scene ; but I had no
idea that she would have taken on as she
did, and I declare that, even then, if the
posters had not been already out and my
self bound in honor to act up to my engage
ment, I would have gone straight to Mr.
Rice and declined the business altogether.
Poor little, soft hearted darling ! it was a
sore trial to her and to me also, and I was
an inconsiderate fool not to have thought
of her feelings in the first instance. But
there was no help for it now ; so I gave
her the only consolation in my power by
solemnly promising that I would be the first
man tied to the trapeze. It was, of course
the safest position, and when I had assured
her of this, she grew calmer. On all other
points I kept my own counsel, as you may
be certain ; and as to John Griffiths, I saw
less of him than ever. He even took his
meals in the city now, and during the
seven days that elapsed between the twen
ty-ninth and the sixth, he never once came
face to face with me, except upon the stage.
I had a hard matter to get away from
home when the afternoon of the sixth came
round. My darling clung about me as if
her heart would break, and although I did
my best to cheer her, I don't mind confes
sing now that I went out and cried a tear
or two in the passage.
Keep up your ,pirits, Ally, dear,' sags
I smiling, and kissed her the last thing,
before I left the house. And don't be
spoiling your pretty eyes in that way.—
Remember I want you to look well, and
that we are to be married to-morrow."
The multitude in the Belvidere Gardens
was something wonderful. There they were,
men, women and children, thronging the
balconies, the orchestra stairs, and every
available inch of ground ; and there, in the
midst of them, rolled and Zwayed the
Wurteruburg balloon, like a sleepy, rolling
giant. The ascent was fixed for six o'clock,
that we might come down again by day
light ; so I made haste to dress, and then
went to the green room to see after Mr.
Rice, and hear something of what was go
inac forward
Mr. Rice was there, and three gentle
men with him, namely, Colonel Steward,
Captain Crawford and Sydney Baird, Es
quire. They were fine, handsome-looking
gentlemen, all three—especially Sydney
Baird, Esquire, who was, as I have since
been told, a play-writer, and one of the
cleverest men of the day. I was going
to draw back when 1 saw them sitting
there with their wine and cigars ; but they
would have me into take a glass of port,
' and shook hands with me all round as
polite as possible, and treated me as hand
some as any gentlemen could.
4 Here's health and success to you, my
brave fellow,' says Colonel Steward, and
a pleasent trip to us all !' and then I found
that they were going up in the car with
Mr. Staines.
And now, what with their light, cheerful
ways and pleasant talking, and what with
the glass of wine that I had taken, and the
excitement, and the hum of voices from the
crowd outside, I was in first-rate spirits,
and as impatient to be off as a racer at the
starting point. Presently one of the gentle
men looked at his watch.
What are we waiting for 3' said he.—
' It is ten minutes past six already.'
And so it was. Ten minutes past the
hour and Griffiths had not yet been seen or
heard of. Well, Mr. Rice grew very un
easy, Ind the crowd, very noisy, and so
twenty minutes more went by. Then we
made up our minds to go without him, and
Mr. Rice made a little speech and explain
ed it to the people ; and then there was a
cheer, and a great bustle ; and the gentle
men tt ok their seats in the car ; and a
hamper full of champagne and cold chick
en was put in with them ; and I was made
fast by one leg to the base of the trapeze
and Mr. Staines was just about to get in
himself and give the signal to cut, loose,
when who should we see forcing his way
through the crowd but Grriffi hs.
Of course there was another cheer at
this, and a delay of eight or ten minutes
more while he was dressing. At last he
came, and it was just a quarter to seven
o'clock. He looked very sullen when he
found that he was to be the undermost;
but there was no time to change anything
now, even if 1. had been willing ; so his left
wrist and my right were bound together
by a leathern strap, the signal was given,
the band struck up, the crowd applauded
like mad, and the balloon rose straight and
steady above the heads of the people.
Down sank the trees and the fountains,
and the pavement of upturned faces.—
Down sank the roof of the theatre, and
fainter grew the sound of the hurraing and
the music. The sensation was so strange
that, for the first moment, I was forced to
close my eyes, and felt as if I must fall
and be dashed to pieces. But that soon
passed away, and by the time we had risen
to about three hundred feet I was as com
fortable as if I had been born and bred in
the air with my head downward.
Presently we began our performances.
Griffiths was as cool as possible—l never
saw him cooler—and we went through
every conceivable attitude ; now swinging
by our hands, now by our feet, now throw
ing summersets, one over the other. And
during the whole of the time the streets
and squares seemed to sink away to the
right, and the noise from the living world
died on the air ; and as I turned and slung,
changing my position with every minute,
I caught strange fitting glimpses of the
sunset and the city, the sky and the river,
the gentlemen leaning over the car and
the tiny passengers swarming down below
like ants on an ant-hill.
Then the gentlemen grew tired of lean
ing over, and began to talk and laugh, and
busy themselves over their hamper. Then
the Surry hills drew nearer, and the oity
sank away to the right, further and further.
Then there were nothing but green fields,
with lines of railway crossing them here
and there ; and presently it grew quite
damp and misty, and we ceased to see any
thing except through breaks and openings
in the clouds.
Come, John,' says I, our share of this
business is one. Don't you think we
'night as well be getting in the car ?'
He was hanging below just then, hold
ing on by my two hands, and had been
hanging so quiet for some minutes He
didn't seem to hear me ; and no wonder,
for the clouds were gathering about us so
thickly, that even the voices of the gentle
men up above grew muffled, and I could
hardly see for a yard before me in any
direction. So I called to him again, and
repeated the question.
He wade no answer, but shifted his grasp
from my hand to my wrist, and then up to
the middle of my arm, so rising himself by
degree, till our faces came nearly on a level.
There he paused, and I fell his hot breath
on my cheek.
William Waldus,' said he hoarsely,
wasn't to-morrow to have been your wed
ding-day?'
Something in the tone of his voice, in the
question, in the dusk and dreadful soli
tude, struck me with horror. I tried to
shake off his hands, but he held too fast for
that.
4 Well, what if it was lo said I, after a
moment. You needn't grip so hard.
Catch hold of the pole, will you and let
go of my arms.'
He gave a short, hard laugh, but never
stirred.
cI. suppose we're about two thousand
feet high,' says he, and it seemed to me

I would have given the world at that
moment to be able to see his face; but
what with my own head being downward,
and all his weight hanging to my arms, I
had no more power than an infant.
John!' I exclaimed, what do you
mean Catch hold of the pole, and let me
do the same. My head's on fire.
Do you see this 3' said he, catching my
arms a couple of inches higher up, and
looking right into my face. Do you see
this 3'
It was a large open olasp knife, and he
was holding it with his teeth. His breath
seemed to hiss over the cold blade. I
bought it this evening—l had it in my
belt—l waited till the clouds came around
and there was no soul to see. Presently
I shall cut youaway from the balloon. I
took an oath that you should never have her,
and I mean to keep it !'
A dimness came over my eyes, and every
thing grew red. I felt that in another
minute I should be insensible. He thought
I was so already, and, letting my arm free,
made a spring at the pole overhead.
That spring saved me. Our wrists were
bound together, and as he rose he drew me
along with him ; for I was so faint and
giddy that 1 could make no effort for my
self.
I saw him hold by the pole with his left
hand ; I saw him take the knife in his right;
I felt the cold steel pass between his wrist
and mine ; and then—
And, then the horror of the moment gave
me back my strength, and I clung to
the ramework just as the thing gave way.
We were separated now, and 1 was still
secured to the trapeze by one ankle. He
had only his arm to trust to—and the knife.
Oh, the deadly strife that followed! it
sickens me to think of it. His only hope
now lay in the cursed weapon ; and so,
clinging to the wood-work with one hand
he strove to stab me with the other.
It was life or death now, and I grew
desperate. To feel his murderous clutch
upon my throat, and, in the silence of that
hideous struggle, to hear the report of a
champagne cork—followed by a peal of
careless laughter—overhead. Oh it was
worse than death, a hundred times over'.
I cannot tell how long we clung thus,
each with a hand upon the other's throat.
It may have been only a lbw seconds; but
it seemed like hours to me. The question
was simply which should be strangled first.
Presently his gripe relaxed, his lips,
became dead white, and a shudder ran '
through every fibre of his body. He had
turned giddy !
Then a cry burst from him--a cry like
nothing human. He made a false clutch
at the trapeze, and reeled over. I caught
him, just in time, by the belt around his
waist.
4 It's all over with me,' he groaned be
tween his sat teeth. It's all—over with
me!! Take your revenge !' Then his
head fell heavily back, and he hung a dead
weight on my arts.
I did take my revenge ; but it wts hard
work, and I was already half exhausted.
How I contrived to hold him up, to unbind
my foot and to crawl,so laden, up the ropes,
is more than I can tell ; but my presence
of mind never failed me for 'an instant, and
I suppose the excitement gave me a sort of
false strength while it lasted. At all events
I did it, though I now only remember
climbing over the basket work, and seeing
the faces of the gentlemen all turned upon
me as I sank to the bottom of the car,
scarcely more alive than the burden in my
arms.
He is a penitent man, now—an Austra
lian settler, and, as 1 am told, well to do
in those parts.
This is my story, and I have no more to
tell.

I hare for some thne past been using one of "Rivas'
