In ennulng ambush lay ;

To toll beneath the bloody rod,
In lonely tyrant lands.

took passage for NeW .York at'encei
,and arrived. there .upon • glorious
October day, with a heart , beating
wildly .with the emotions which were,
naturally born of the • near approach
of my rennion with Helen.
I only lingered in the City, long
enough to banish the traces of travel
from my person; and then, caressed
as becomingly as I knew hOW—fOr
whoever forgot personal appearance'
on such occasion ?—I jumped upon
a train of cars• Which ran through
the town where I bad parted, three
years ago, from my darling.._ , - •
The time of the journey was four
hours—it seemed an eternity to me.
I could scarcely wait for the train
to slacken speed when the town was
.reached: - I strained my eyes to. data
sight of the poplars that grew above.
her dwelling, 'and rather ran -than
walked down the wide
. street which
led to the-green lane on which Ms
Harrington's mansion stood, when a
scene met my eyes that transfixed me
to the ground in horror. • .
. The - poplars stood green and tall
as ever, but beyond them arose only
one ruined wall, with empty windows,
and at its foot a heap of rubbish,
charred and blackened, • and telling,
as I thought, of a recent conflagra
tion. -
I was too much overcome to move
for many moments, but at last. I sum
moned courage to make iniluiries
with•a. throbbing heart.' I walked up
to an Old woman who stood at an op ,
posite and asked her if she
could tell 'me where to find Mr. liar :
rin,gton.
• 'She shook her head.
"No," she said; "yor no one in
the place. They went aitay in the
night, andwe've never heard of 'em.
Perhaps you're a friend of theirs ? "
" Yes, yes," I gasped. " Tell me
all yOu know."
"_You see,' Mr. Harrington failed
two years ago," --said the woman,
"and that crushed him down, and
then, te" bank broke where he had a
little- left after things were settled.
and then some one-set his house afire,
and he was so burnt that he lost his
.sight, and they couldn't bear, I sup
pose,, to live where they'd lived so
well .as they'd have to live, so they
went away secret like, and haiu't
been seen since, nor heard of, They
did say she was married,• but that
may be nonsense,and some say they're
in New-York, but it's•ahcruess-work.
Why, how pale you do rook ! You,
are a relation ?"
But I could not answer her. I
leaned against the door-way, faint
and ill. It was .to .hear this at last
that I bad struggled with fate, and
denied my heart a glimpse of her I
loved for all these years.
The old Woman was right. NO-one
wknew more than she. I went to• Ne-
york and searphed for herfor months.
I advertised, but all in vain. - At last,
beli6ving•that.l had indeed been for
. otten, and that the tale of- her mar
ri • ad was true, I settled down in that
cit as a physician, determined at,
leaSt to'be worthy of her and to life
the li • which I had lived for her
sake. . d so-two more years passed
without , 'rlimpse of her. - . -r'
One Ch *stmas Eve, the fifth of
our parting,. 1 sat alone hilly office.
and could ha wept' with loneliness.
What was the - , mit,' and fame I now
might confident! hope to win, if her
smiles did not ble•s me, if no wife
ever sat beside iny•h rt, and no child
called me father ? I k gun to wonder
whether It might not be better for
me to find !mime worna worthy of
respect and admiration, a.d .bestow
upon her what remnants o a heart
. I had to. give, ere I grew c 3 Id and
selfish in my loneliness. An as 1
thought thus, a• woman came mil - ing
at my dOor to beg me to come at
once to 47 — 7 —street, where an aoc -
dent had happened.
- I hurried on ; - iny overcoat and hat,
and followed her.
- It was a tipsy hod-earrier - who had
scalded himself with -boiling pima,
and' ,it was no easy task t:bind "-pp
his wounds and convince him thatche
was in no danger, if he would obey
my instructions and refrain from:tip
pling. - •. •
. -
Consequently - it was late when I
hurried down stairs on my way home.
All the lamps in the house, were lit,
and over the table of a . rather respec
table room on the lower floor clamed
a jet of gas. Its sharp hissingfor
it was tUrhed on too far—attracted
me:, I glanced at it, and remained
riveted to the spot. 'Beneath it, on
the table, stood the "golden. tulip "
1 had-given 'KC years before.
The same flower in the same pot,
but covered by A glass case. •
Without'. pausing to think Of the
propriety of the act,_ I strode in and
bent over it. -Then I saw it was made
of wax—the flower, at least. The pot
must be, I knew, the very same.
It wasimt*My tulip, but its- pcir
trait from life'. I struck with my
eane'upon the table, and a dingy lit

"To whom does this belong ?" I
asked.

The woman looked ,at me- 'doubt

men or women to lie and =sleeßotk

,some tender woman

the mantle of her soft excuse, thinks
of his headache, or his corns, or his
tight shoes, Or the dinner he ate did
not agree •withifim ; and as fOr her
thorn-pricks, she. hides _thein under
lace and velvet, and - defies her dear
est dud nearest friend to see or. bs
peet them. That is what. she does
when she is loving and confiding ;
and, as with' the 'other, accusation,
never resented, that women have the
monopoly of gossip,,soit is with the
itputation of scolding. Now men
scold and women scold is the impulse
of an' undisciplined !Inman nature, in
:which - both then and women share.
It 'shows a weakness [of character; us

SHARP
A man has- a *sharper eye than. a
dbg,or a fox, or than any of the
creatures, but not so; sharp an 'iar or.
nose. , ,. But in the birds. he -finds hia
match. Flow quickli the old turkey
discovers the haWk; la. mere speck
against the ilky, aixl hoif quickly the
hawk. disetiVers you if you_ happen to .
secreted in the litisheS, or behind -
the fence near which he alights.
I find I see almost without effort,
nearly every bird within sight in the
field or wood I pass thrciugh(a flit of
the, wing, a flirt of the tail are enough, '
though the flickering . , leaves do all
conspire to hide them), and that with
like ease ... the birds see me, though, ~
tinquestronably, the chances are ini-
mensely in their favor. The eye sees '
what it has the means of seeing truly.
You must have the :bird in your •
t, % 1
heart, before on can find it in the
g nib. The e mast have
i purpose
and aim. IFto e ever yet found the •
b
walking: , fern in liS mind. - •
' Nevertheless, the habit of observa
tion
..
is the habit of clear and decisive
gazing; net by , a Iltat casual glance,
but by a steady deliberate aim..of the
eye are the rare and characteristic
things discovered. You must look
intently and hold youi eye firmly to
the spot, to see mote than do the
rank and file of mankinfi. The sharp
shooter picks out his man and knows
him with fatal.certainty from a stump
or a rock, or a cap on a pole. The .
phrenologists do well to locate not.
only form, color, weight, etc., in the
region of the eye, put a faculty, which
they call individuality—that which
seperates, discriminates; and sees in
every object its - essential character.
This is just , as necessary to the nat•
uralist as to the artist or. the poet.
The sharp eye notes specific points
and differences,—it seizes upon and
preserves - the individuality of the
thing. .
, - Persons frequently describe to ma
some bird they have - seen • or - heard
and ask me to name it, but ' t.
one of the bird might be any one of e
dozen, - or else - it is totally unlike any
bird found on this continent. They
have seen falsely or
. else vaguely.
Not so the farm youth who wrote me
one winter day that he had seen a,
single pair of strange birds, which he
describes as folll \ ws "They were
about the size of the'l chippie,' _the
tops of their heads were red, and the
breast of the male was of the same
color, while that of the female - .was
Much lighter;- their rumps were also .
faintly tinged with red. If I have' ,
described them so that you Would -•
kiiow them e please .write me their
names."- There can be little doubt -
'but the.young' observer had seen a .
pair of red 7 polis,..--a bird related to
the goldfinch, and that occa§lonally
comes down -to us -in the winter-from
