A long, low catch of land, shelving down gradually to the water's edge, covered with shining shells, and glit tering when the sun shone on it, with white sand left there by the receding sea-waves, as they crept softly and in sidiously upward, or sung in the sum mer sun their monotonous -chant, tossing 'their whiV., crisp waves joy -ously in the morning sunshine, or . dashing with resistless fury, when hunted by the sweeping hurricane, up, up, till they lashed themselves into snowy foam on the rBelry pro jection of Eagle Crag, which stood, when the water was at low tide, al mile and a-half from shore. . Upon the top of this feint, known' to the villagers by the name of Eagle . Crag, stood a cottage; a veritable lit tle nest, in fairy-like proportions, around which a garden bloomed and blossomed like a paradise in a desert. " Where shall I build a little cage to hold you till I come back ?" asked brown and resolute John Danforth, the sailor, as he looked on the bright face of the newly made Mrs. Dan, forth, with all a fover's fondness shin ing in his honest face and fearless eyes, transforming the hard lines of;i his weather-bronzed face into posi-i tive tenderness. " At the Eagle Crag," answered Ito bine Danforth, usually known among her acynaintances by the pet name of " Robin." In that bleak place?" said John, in his astonishment. " Why, birdie, you would die of home-sickness in a week." " O'John ! please," coaxed the lit tle woman who, practical and house wifely to the last degree, hid beneath it all a vein of romance, none the less strong for being hidden. "In . my lonely life before you found me, John, a silly little thing al I am "—here the lustrous eye grew brighter—" before you, with your experience, and wis dom, and noble manliness, took me to be your foolish little wife, and ac tually-stopped to fall in love with me, a mere school girl, I used to so long for a home, dear. Next to longing for a father and mother and sister to love and care for me, this other long ing for a home was the .strongest and after I saw you, John "-here a. bright blush stained the clear brow of her sunburnt 'cheek-=" I used to think if the longing shofild ever grow .to be a reality, and the little home. whose picture grew brighter , every time I mused upon it i should ever be mine—ours, I mean" (with another little blush )—" bow happy, how 'Very happy I should be. I saw the, place where it should stand, this little home of ours, on a high point overlooking the ocean, where we could watch the white ships sail along the glassy Wit ter or ride fearlessly on the bounding waves. I. se* the roses and jasmine twine tenderly their wealth of bloom around the little porch, and I have heard a thousand times the hum of bees and songs of birds, that darted in and out among the vines andblos some." " Vines and blossoms !" burst forth honest John, in his amazement ; "lit tle woman, are pill crazy? I should like to see the vine or blossoin that would flourish within a half a league of Eagle Crag, the most arid, barren waste conceivable." I "0, Johns is this truer: was all she said ; but the smothered sigh at tested the depth of her disappoint ment.'. ." • . • John made no reply ; but, stimu lated by the sound of that half smoth ered sigh. and the glimpse of glisten INEIE EMI hog" !sears tothilding halitily' from the curling 'brown lashe "studying Ways and•zaeanal; and the result Wait that the pretty'Cottage, Met on the ' topmost'point of "FAgie 'Crag while vines and Ilowera flourished and grew in the artiflcia non r ead user r the small inelosiire will& defined the boutidarYl of his purchase.

Bu„ alas! John had been • gone these many dais on a voyage to the china Sea, bearing with him, to keep his heart warm, the memory of a sun ny face which smiled good-bye with tearful eyes one bright summer morn ing, standing at the gate. Meanwhile inside the cottage all went on with order and neatness and regularity which rivaled that of the clock on the mantel, which seemed to take delight in ticking the minutes and striking the hours to such a bust ling cheerful little mistress. Little Hans, the poor, half-starved, forlorn German boy,. whom Robin had taken to milk the cow and hoe the garden and run of errands to the village, grew bright and cheerful un dlr. the influence of her smiles ; while his face, grown wider and fuller every day, till it resembled nothing so much as one of his own carefully tended sunflowers, bore witness to her mar velous skill in cooking. - Mother Danforth—a good sort cic woman in a melancholy way, who was.much given to frequently sigh ing and complaining, whose most cheerful recreation was a funeral now and then, and to walk up to Eagle Crag to inspect, after the time-hon ored fashion of mothers-in-law, the the doings of its little mistress—was fain to confess that even to her criti cal eye the household management was perfect. " Her cookery is faultless ; and everything is sumptuously neat"; she acknowledged to her next doOr neigh bor, Mrs. Gray. "Bat she doesn't seem to pipe . after John a bit. But then; what else could one expect from such a child? ';Out of sight, out of mind 1' I suppose if John is pleased he ought to be. .But I'm Sure it was never my - way, when Danforth was out on a voyage. Many's the night I have cried all night, and the house was more like a funeral than any thing else, all the time he was gone." Mrs. Gray, wise woman that she was, carefully abstained from hinting that this might be the reason of John's preference to merry, cheerful Robin whose unfailing good spirits were to him a constantsonrce of wen der and delight. "I thought she always seemed veiny fond of John," she contented herself with saying, as Mrs. Danforth rose to take her leave. " Seemed !" echoed Widow Dan forth with her deepest sigh : "let me tell you, Mrs. Gray, when you have lived in this wicked world as long as I have,•yon will find that things are not by any means all that they seem." And with this unintentional' paro dy of the sublime song of the poet, Mrs. Danforth went her lugubrious way homeward. So the summers came and went in fragrance and song to the little cot tage on , the Crag ; and the white ships sailed stately and grand, or flew like frightened -birds to their " haven under the hill ;" and the Ocean Bird commanded by Captain John Danforth, touching now at this port, now at that, sometimes driven by prosperous gales, sometimes buf feting adverse winds, set sail for home. And in the heart of the brave man, who sometimes in shine, sometimes in storm, always cheerfully and hope fully, paced her deck, there dwelt a picture of a face which whether bright with piquant smiles or sad with April tears, had always been eloquent with love for him, and which was fairer and dearer to his eyes than. all the world beside.

She was thinking the him; perhaps, little dreaming of the happy surprise in store for her in his unexpected re turn. What is that?, , Ay ! start, John Danforth, and reel as if struck by a sudden blow. Is this the wife you have seen in doting dreams, for whom you have kept your soul pure and unstained, , that it might hold enshrined her sacred im age ? An inner door is opened, a quick, manly step upon the floor, and a man, muffled with coats and wrap pings of fur, is beside Robin's chair. She looks up in his face. How well John Danforth knows that loving smile! and though the wind prevents their words from reaching him, she seems from their gestures to be urg ing remonstrances against his going out in such a storm.

She flings both arms around his neck, presses her lips to the smooth cheek, tnn L ocent of beard or razor, and he lays his hand upon the latch; slowly opens the door, and in a moment more is out in the stormy night. The heart of Capt. Danforth sink ing down, down like lead in his bo som with weight of his loss, leaps and burns with all the fury of a sav age as he hears the footsteps of his rival beside him, so elose that if he should stretch out his hand ho could throttle him in a moment. He looks at the darkening sky and starts on the road to the village. The village road ! That way is long an rugged ; few travelers ever travellthe lonely way. Revenge, re ! veage It is said that there is a drop of tiger's blood in every human heart. I think it must have been alive in Mr. Danforth's heart then, that prompted the stealthy ; creeping pace with which he followed his victim on, on, over rugged Paths, watching 'the boyish form, till the sudden, blind impulse of revenge grew into a set tled purpose—till.the sure, relentless hand seconded the murderous plans of the heart. Half Way down the winding, rocky road, a deep chasm runs parallel with it for a little (Instance, then, with an abrupt tarn, takes another direction toward the coast.

Villain !"' He grasped the boy by the shoulder fiercely, with an oath hissed between the shut teeth, and ere is a struggle—unequal, short, decisive Unequal, for the youth is but a ba by in that fierce, strong grasp, and, overpowered, he shouts with all his might for help. Robina That name, wrung from him in his agonizing fear is his death warrant. A thousand demons rage in the heart of Danforth, as he holds him a mo ment ever the abyss. The moon 'shining through a rift 'in the clouds, shows him two blue eyes, gazing with a wild, beseeching fear • his. two white hands tossed helpless sin th'e air ; a flutter of yellow curls, and then something goes crashiav over jagged points of rocks and rolling stones below.

WHERE THE WAGES GO.--SOBER THOUGHTS FOR WORKINGMEN: Why is it that so many of the fain flies of the laboring men in • our Towns and cities live in such .a poor beggarly way, and in so many damp, dark basements, and up in such close confined, rickety old atticks? Many of the heads of these families receive good wages, and get their pay every week or month regularly. But where, in too many cases, do their wages go to ? Not to the banker, the grocer, the butcher, the merchant; they , go for strong drink, ale and beer, which do not strengthen the physical man. Franklin. taught the printers of Lon don that cold water was better than ale; and cold water has lost none of its virtues in 'l4O years. • The cost of tippling, is, iu the ag gretae, enormous. The enquiry is often made, how are so many drink ing houses sustained?' Let us See. Twenty men, at 30 cents a day, will pay one of the "tippling shops" $2,- 190 a year. A man who pays 30 cents a day for "drinks," pays $lO9, 50 a year, This is the interest on $1,564 at 7 per ,cent., at simple inter est_ This sum, 30 cents per day, amounts in ten years to $1,171 95. All this is wasted, paid out for "an enemy that steals away a man's brains," and robs him and his family of every comfort.' Intoxicating liq uors , give neither strength to the beidy,.vigor to the mind, resolution to the will, elevation -to morals nor dignity to chartteter. StrOUk drink drags a man down from his high es tate, depraves all his appetites, and and' leaves him in want and misery, the mere wreck and semblence of a man. The constant use of intoxicating liquors makes hard times for many a man; thris, a family of five persons will consume four barrels of flour a rear, or, 1,056 pounds of bread. This is nearly three pounds a day. Good flour can be bought now at $7 a bar rel' ; four times seven makes $2B; and thirty cents a day foroirinks is 4109.50, or $82.50 inure: per year than the bread fora family of five Persona costs. ‘, l l2tut,',' says A, "1 only take two, drinks a day." Wry well, you pay then for Your drinits $73 a year; only $45 more than Yon pay 'for the bread consumed by 'your •whole family, if it citintains five per sons. ;This sum would provide tea and coffee for thern.l Here, then', we rsee that the man who pays even tiventy cents a' day for liquor spends a sum snfficieut to supply his family with bread, tea and coffee for the year. Is it strange that times are hard - that men com plain of the Goveniment, and charge that it - oppresses them with onerous taxes? The above figures show how men tax themselves; and how they tax property too. Y - In 1868 the Inebriate Asylum cost the taxpayers of this eity $144,472.40. While the amount of money paisi by the rity for flour for all its hospitals, asylums, and for the relief of tbe poor was only $102,573 38. The outdoor poor cost the city, in 068, 4122,228 64. How much of this could be charged to *temper. once? The number of r•ersoas committed to the workhouse in this city in 1868 was 15,738. The . Cormnissioners say; "a considerable prrg*tion of the comulittals is for intoxication." The police stations,lhe prisons; the alms house!, the penitentiary,.the misera ble homes, all tell of the work of in temperance.

Captain Brooks and his purser were bluff, substantial looldng 'men, reminding one some what of the "sturdy sons of Maine."

To the traveler, as welLas to most other people, the style • and circum-• stance of living is a matter of some,. importance, to which it may not be amiss here to refer. The fare upon., our -tables Was sufficiently varied and well cooke&—served • up, however, at such brief intervals, -- small chance was there (even with such auxiliaries as quoits/ishoVel board, and the More general resort, quarter-deck prome nading) - to get up - the requisite amount of appetite for its due enjoy ment. A substantial breakfast, with the concomitants of Scotch porridge and Irish stew, came off at 9 a.m. a lunch of cold meats, baked pota toes, &c., at noon,_ and dinner; of a number of courses (fish, flesh, fowl, and dessert, with British ale and a variety of wines), at 4 p.m. _ Tea fol lowed at 6. In addition to all which, some persistent stomachs might be thought still to require a " Welsh rarebit "or the like, with a " little more ale," before retiring. It must be said that the frequency and abun dance of the meals provia.ed,remed , a most .substantial compliment (to Our digestive faculties), even though the seasick passenger might be in clined to condemn it, for the time, as a moat miserable and unmeaning farce. Among the lighter vegetables, cele ry seems much in demand on ship board,-being considered an antidote, in some degree, to seasickness. The recollections of earlier-years were re freshed by the appearance of sperma ceti candles upon our evening tables, and of the old fashioned conical loaves of white sugar (in blue papers) daily broken up for tea and coffee by our steward. To guard against the fre quent and extensive variations of our " social board" from the horizontal, plates, &c., were, to some uncertain: extent, kept in place by a frame-work' risking around the whole outside, while sundry, bottles of "private wine," castors and cruets, swung with a fre quent jangle, and sometimes a fearful crash, in a hinged shelf overhead. Notwithstanding these and similar precautions, it would so happen that hot coffee, soup and other liquid vi ands often passed with unwelcome celerity from the possession of,,one individual to the outer man (ernuter woman, as the case might be,) of an opposite neighbor. Rough. old Au tocrat as he is, .the Sea, nevertheless, often displays decidedly Agrarian tendencies—and the Prevalence of a' gale brings about a 'lamentably un settled state of affairs in.generaL It is an ill wind, however, that blows nobody good : and the diffi culties under which we were labor ing, methought, might even afford fine opportunities flfr observations (by a regal gentleman) upon the " Uncertainty of Tenures, whether External, Internal, or in transitu while to the Military Tactician, some impressive "Practical Hints in re-, gard to Change of Base, whether by' Front or Rear," would also be una voidable (especially befOre getting on his " Sea Legs ").

Encountering for the first few days rougher seas and headwinds than Captain:Brooks had ever known in June,-during his maritime experience of twenty-one years, the sufferings of many on board were.(at least, to take their own statement for it,) intt)kra ble ; and on the second day out, only ten passengers (of the '7O in the cab in) could be counted at the dinner table t while quits a lumber did not emerge from their staterooms during at leant the first half of the roma.

I walked round and round it, and sought the entrance, at which stands Erwin's siiitue, the figure of justice. On the opposite side of the church is the portal, on which is the martyrdom of St. Laurentius, within an arbor, asst were of stone, open all around., end frill of hanging grapevines. In the principal entrance on the left are wise virgins with .their lamps, inno cent and simple; on the right are saints, with demons or evil spirits under their heels. On the one gate are angels; on the other, martyrs. As' I looked up and down, and con templated the_ countless images of atone, in their niches, theW stiffened lips loosened, I hear their voices, hymns; the whole pile becomes melo dy; the swell of separate tones melts into one gigantic svmphony; As. the twelfth )lour approached, multitudes come running from every side. They were all eager to see this curiosityof medixval times; although the clock adapted by the aged math ematician, Sehwilgue, to the present state of science, has now been going for four hundred years. My friend at last appeared, andwe had barely time to push our -way through the crowd, and to ascend the small wind ing staircase which leads into the four stories of the clock, -and • the small balcony in which we were sus pended like swallows, against the mathematical monument, looking down perpendieularly upon a dense mass of heads, whose eyes and _lips were all fixed upon one point. On one of the lower galleries, an angel, guarded by lions . which formerly roared, and holding a sceptre and bells in its hands. strikes the quar ters; and another terns round the the hour glass. In- an upper spice, the four ages -of life then step for ward; the child strikes the first quar ter, with its thyrsus, upon a bell, the youth strikes the half hour with his arrowr the armed warrior the third quarter with his sword, and the old man the-fourth with .his crutch; then death appears, and strikes the hour with his bone; end, as the sound of the last stroke dies away, the figure of Christ comes forward in • a yet higher glory, and raises its right arm as for a blessing; the twelve apostles one after the other, pass him, and is passing, incline themselves before the , Savior, who, in'conelusion, gives his blessing to the -spectators.
