THE CAPTAIN'S RETURN.
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

By the second summer, so well do

with the jasmine, which quietly plod
ded on toward the top of the porch
—in fact, setting all law and order at
defiance in the most rebellious man
ner, but also in a way that would
have done jbhife; heart good to see.
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.
Dram ou, honest Captain Dan

ness of hive are • over—for yen a storm
is gathering which will scatter your
love-dreams as .easily as the wind .

(keen Bird scatters the foam that

The Dutch clock ticks merrily
away, surveying the neatness and the
coziness of the little room With elide

had been the brightest, beeanse 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.

He shakes his bead laughingly, the
boyish curls glancing to the Eire-light,
and stoops down beside her. 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.
John, breathlessly following the
footsteps of the boy—be is but little
more than that—chuckled with sav
age delight at the thought of a Mis
step, which might plunge his uncon
scious enemy headlong down the
abyss to a frightful' death on the
sharp, ragged rocks below:'
As he reached this point of his
journey, the youth pauses a moment,
turning his back to the fierce blast,
which has been blowing steadily in
him face all the way, John is beside
him a moment.
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.
" Murder!"
The howling winds,,as they swept
past, shrieked the word in his ear,
then away to bear the cry still fur
ther on, leaving him sitting helpless
ly alone and weak, staring around
and listing to the rush and roar of
the increasing tide, as it murmured
in hollow tones, "Murder!"
6one now the blind rage and mad
ness of the moment before, only the
anguish and remorseful despair re
main. -
His brain is in a confused whirl ;
only half conscious what he is do
ing, he rises to his feet - and endea
vors to stagger onward, in vain. A

At one moment he seem plunged in
to a burning lake ; the next he wan
dered through interminable fields- of
lee and snow—nothing but the fierce
glare of the sun upon the blocks and
mountains of polar ice met his aching
eyes. And everywhere, Whether h •

He drew a long breath. His mem

old sting of pain to his heart.

No answer. - .
He bursta into'a passion of-ehildish
tears. His mother tried t d ,soothe
him, as one would soothe it fretful
child.
" Where is she ?"
. " She has worn herself out watch
ing over you. One night when you
were raving in. delirium you said
something which so frightened her
that she has not been herself since.
Dr. Gray thinks that her mind is in
a weak state. She mourned a good
deal for her brother, who was not
killed iu the army as supposed, but
came home
.8 few days before you
did, and wandered-off the edge of the
deep cut on his way to the village,
and was dished to pieces the same
night that you-eame so near freezing
to death on your way to Eagle Crag."
Her brother ! The only tie of re
lationship she had ever known—the
brother whom • she had loved with
such idolatry.
Escaped from death in India; and
seeking his sister who mourned him
as dead, only to be stricken down by
the jealous bate of one who. should
have been his guardian and protec
tor.•
He turned his face to the wall with
a groan that seemed bursting his
heart.
From that day he failed rapidly,
and ono bright morning, when the
flowers bloomed and the birds sang
blithely, he called iu his weak voice
for " Robina.P
They brought liar in, pale and help
less as a child, and laid her on the
bed beside him. .
" My little Robiva !" - he whispered
fondly, touching her hand reverent
ly. " I have heard the call, and obey.
Ouly before I go I have a confession
to make, for I cannot go till you have
forgiven me."'
She laid her little hand on his.
" I .know all, -dear John. That
night when you lay ill, in your de
lirium you revealed all. May He
forgive you,. John, as fully as do.
Let us pray together." .
A golden robin, swinging on a ma
ple bough outside r at that moment
began his clear, warbling song.
Long ere the warble was eyded,
their lips had ceased to move, their
hearts had ceased to beat..
In. the little garden of Eagle Crag,
where birds revel in. the wealth of
bloom, Hans, now a strong, hale man,
spends a part of every spring in pm
ning and training the flowers she
loved, and which they tended Togeth

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. "It is firs great curse of
the land—it feedampod , the wages of
labor, and like ..the -horse-leech's
daughter, "it cries, give, give," until
all is gone of health, character, life.—

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

often displays decidedly Agrarian

It was the grand mistake of a life
time, in the 'case of Micateber, that he
did not go on board ship at the be

" David Cepperfield ": as in such
case, however his patience might have
been 'tried in other respects, it cer
tainly need never have been worn
threadbare in waiting for something
to turn up.
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

ten passengers (of the '7O in the cab

THE GREAT STRASBURG OLOOK.
Incomprehensible and solitary; like
all that is great .and true, rises the
Minster of Strasburg. 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. Their ,
eyes, in the mean while, turn to the
'cock, who proudlysits high up on a
small - tower; he lisps his wings,
stretches out his head and his tail,_
raffles his neck, and.thrice his shrill
crowing sounds loud and clear.
Among the old paintings which
adorn the case of the clock, one of
the most conspicuous is the o portrait
of -Copernicus, wording to whose
system the planetarium, which is
over the gallery of the liens, is erect
ed. At the moment when galileo
was condemned, the scientific men of
