As slowly they stole from the sight,

Who sat in their silvery light
Then I fancied the flowers were smiling
In beauty through test drops of dew,
And their odor, like incense, was rising -
To Heaven's deep arching of blue.

My gaze to the star-lighted sky,
Watching those bright lamps 'burning,

" Who's that, I wonder I" said Mrs.,
Beabarn, as she heard a ring at tlie'
basement door.
" Ah I it's Marshall," returned her
husband; who had looked out ,at the
window, and recognized the grocer's
cart.
" And what have yon had sent
home now, Henry ?"
But before Mr. &shorn could an
swer; the door of the sittiag-toom
was opined, and one of the domes
tics, looked in, and asked—
- I do wid the demijohns,
mum ?"
" Demijohns ?" repeated Mrs. &s
-horn.
" lint them in the hall, and I'll at

" Henry, what have you sent home
now ?" the wife.asked, after - the do

• " Slttie nice ,old brandy," replied
Henr
Cora Seaburn glanced up at „the
clock, and then looked down upon
the floor. There was a cloud on her
fair brow, and it was very evident
that Something lay 'heavily upon her
heart, Presently-she walked to the
wall and pulled the bell-cord, and the
summons was answered by the cham
bermaid.
" Are George and Charles in their
room?"
" Yes, ma'am." •
" Tell them it is school-time."
The girl went out, and in a little
while two boys entered the sitting
room, with their books ender their
arms, and their cape in.theie hands.
They were bright, happy, healthy fel
lows,with goodness and truth stamp
ed upon their rosy faces, and the
light of fire consciences gleaming in
their sparkling eyes. George , was
thirteen years of age, and Charles
eleven ; and certainly those two par
ents had reason to be proud of them.
The boys kissed.their mother, gave a
Kapp "good-morning to their father,
atid then went slay to school.
i" Come," said Mr. Seaburn, some
tint(' after the boys had gone,"what
makes you so sober ?"
" Sober l" repeated the . wife, look

"Yee. You have been sober and

"Do you want me to tell you why f"
"OE course I do."

iAu OCZAN or SNAJKAIL—A SHIP P.m
ea =ROMS A %MING M*es 01P Rap
tWss.—The statement Published in
lilt Sunday's Ames, - that the steam
ship Mexico, Capt. Pittfleld, whenon
bet last trip, o,ff the Tortugas,steam;
a through's- tangled mass of snakes
of eizeis hasjacit - become a sub
-',of much comment. " "Snake
stories" are proverbially uncertain
but we are now enabled to inthorit
tively declare that this particular
one ms safely be relied upon
'Oar original account was incor
rect in one partictilaronly: Insteadef
two hours and a half, the Mexico was
no' more than oi.e hour and a half
in passing through this horrible - mass
of writhing reptiles. They were of
all . sizes, from the ordinary green
water snake of two feet to monsteri—
genuine sea serpents- 7 of fouiteen to,
fifteen feet in length. The liirgest
Snakes, when the swell produced by
the movements of the vessel readied
them, would,' we are informed, partly
raise themselves from thewater, as
in the attitude of striking, and Sart
oat tongues wickedly at the waves.
The greatest interestois was natural,
was manifested by those on board
the Mexico. Discipline" was for a
apace forgotten, and captain, officers,
crew and ship boys stood in common
by the sides looking op a sight that,
su far as shown by sea annals has
never yet been witnessed by those
who have "gone down to the sea in
daps," whiph may possibly, never
greet human eAs again, We can
think of valid explanation on the
subject, unless it be—taking bur
own inspiration from the. "day"—
that the shade of that famous snake
destroyer, on the approach of his an
,niversary, has been, wandering in
Fleridiqand has shown that he has
lot none of his'old skill, by driving
of in one maim its myriads of rep
tiles from the . coast. ,
A Serionsly speaking, _ however, the
presenoa of these !snakes in the wa
ters off the TO i rtugiur is a remarkable
ocotumnoe, oue that may properly
claim the attention of the scientific.
One fact at least laproven; That
fact is that,nnder some special revul
sion of the laws ordinarily controll
ing them, snakes may live in salt wa
ter. After this, expirience the exist
ence of the waterloos "sea serpent"
becomes again an "open question."
Our authority for this statement is
