A VIBION OF NQVSKBEIL
Last night I salty the West
In sunset splendors drest, -
Its heralds, robed In purple, swept across the gold
' entrain ;
. .
And many a golden spire, .
As daylight paled Its tare,
Streamed upward to the zenith, and paled, and
glowed again.
And clouds of deepening purple, like c rilps upon
the sea,
Left wakes of glowing anger along the southward
Of the shadowy horlzen,—the leaden !Allowed
lee, _
And blended with the shadows of twilight, gray
and (mu,
Slept a gulden and crimson Leland on the bosom of
the main;
On many a sheeny river
I saw the shadows quiver—
As shadows that swept over a 11014 of ripead
grain.
/down Its purple rnoriatalun whose peaks were
were all aflame. • -
Flowed rills of burnished Sliver from eluntless
hidden springs;
Along the shining ♦alley tight shadows went and
I=2
Like shimmering heats of summer, of the -flutter
ing or wings.
And then from pole to pole
J. deeper shadow stole,
As cloud the waveless waters wherc'besten by the
CM
The ulght wind's of „November sang a funeral re-
train.
But the beauty of that vision in my Inmost soul
Is limped,
Crimson Island, goldened highland, purple fleet
mot amber sra
Where, by twilight nor by .mldnight shall its
hues be dimmed;
Where, by no chill winds of autumn shall Its van-
IshlnK be hymned ;
Where, through time, and thence forever, It
• shall glow to gladden me

arper'g 31agaztu,. for October
1817.—Sunday.—W.e had
such a stirring preacher to-daY---a
hoine missionary. lie set the whole
Vosiness before us in a new light; be
urged upon us the necessity of action.
If nearer duties detained us, we ought
to give tithes of our incomes, he said.
Mr. Andoveradded a few remarks to
emphasize the missionary's, and then
the box was Passed. Of course . 1
ha ln't any money. I thought some
what ,of putting in the ring Aunt
Ilolyoke left me, but didn't dare.
Afterward, Mr. Andover said if any
one. had come to church unprepaied,
she could leave ber.mite in his hands
at any time, to be forwarded for the
good cause. I told Philip, who over
took me on the way from church,
how much I was interested, and how
. muci I wished I were rich enough to
contribute ; and he only laughed and
pooh-poohed, and called me a relig
ions enthusiast. Mother says she
wishes Philip wouldn't haunt me go
much-;that . since he has broken oilr
engagement because we were too
poor to
richer,
and no likelihood of
growing richer, as his father had Just
failed, he ought not to act as if I be
longed to him still. I suppose he
thinks it diminishes my chances; but
I don't want any more " chances."
I don't believe I shall ever marry
neither will Philip; . and why
should we not be friends? Old Mrs.
A bernethy'told me, directly after the
engagement was off, that she always
knew Philip Devereaux was selfish
and mercenary. I should have given
her a piece Of my mind if she hadn't
been old enough to be my grand
mother, and hadn't meant it kindly.
1107 unhappy I was when Nell Will
dams got angry with :rne, - anci said she
idn't believe that Philip ever meant
i t b marry me, and would never marry
any girl without a• fortune! That,
ended our friendship.
Th it rsda y.—Philip is going-away!
t is like a thunder-bolt. He is going
into business in. New Ydrk. Perhaps
he will make a fortune; who knows?
Not that I care for money. Mr. An.:
lover ; brought Inc book to read to
mothe-ri and a bunch of ~ s carlet c'bl

SHELVES,
their rich color and graeeA I told
him that 1. had grown a sudden inter
est in hoine missions, and- wished
there was something 1 could do for
he poor people the Rev. Mr.,Gerrish
ibld us about. " Your mission is
already marked out for.you ' " he said.
"-You are eyes to the blind, and sun
stdoe -to those who sit in shadow."
ralways think Mr. 'Andover is a
plain than till he smiles.
Tuesday—Philip is gone! He .
bade me good-Lye at the gate last
night, under the stars. Ile is going
_to write often. It is horribly lone
some td-day ; what would 'a lifetime
be without him ! I've ' beguiled my
self Oinking over a plan for raising
money for the home missions. I've
sold Aunt Holyoke's ring. It was a
pretty ring, but the jeweler only gave
me two dollars for it, with which
have' bought. a lottery ticket. It
doesn't draw till the Ist of - July, and
than how proud I should 'be to take
a thousand dollars over to the par
sonage for the cause, and how sur
prised Mr. Andover would be !
Wedruwlay.— Very dull. Read
" Paradise Lost" to mother.
Thunday,2o.—Mr. Andover called;
- naked if I had heard from Mr. Dever
eaux.l'm afraid something-hail hap
pened to him.
June 80.—A short but delightful
letter from Philip. He is too busy
to write much or often. Mr. Ando
v.er is going to give me German les
sons.
MYER & DxVOE
July s.—The lottery ticket ilr4iv
nothing. I could have cried. Vbuilt
so many eagles. The very next
number to mine drew ,five hundred
dollars. I painted a little horseshoe
—Ferman forget-me-nots on a 'gold
ground—and Mr. Ashley, the, sta
tioner, sold it for me for five dollars.
I was thunder-struck. Who could
have thought it worth so much ? I
mean to buy a ticket in 'the Royal
Havana Lottery this time. Perhaps
this is the beginning of luck.
July 11.—Wrote to Philip. Mr..
Andover came to give me a German
lesson, and afterward read to mother
and - me from the German authors: I
told him; just as he was leaving, that

.AuguSt,7---Philiri is so buiy that be
can't i find ‘time4o write often. I've
had only thleeletters since he left,
but he says that mine make sunshine
in la ishady place for him. Squire
it
Cu is told Nell - Williams that his
da ghter Annette, who is visiting at
Co. ey Island, met Philip there at a
hop. " I'm. glad the poor fellow has
sothe diversions," I said, but I was
very sorry she mentioned-lit before
Mr. Andovel• and mother. 'Of course
a man cannot work day and night. •
*),luguse 11.—Such weather is too
splendid to enjoy alone. Mr. Ando
ver; rowed me up to the Artichoke
Mier. It was like fairy-land, all the
bodghs of -the trees leaning across
from shore to shore, and the moon
light and stars sifting through, and
painting,^ . weird shadows upon the
stil.
i t
water. Restidg upon his oars,
he ang to me a gqndelied which he
lea . ned abroad, thht. seemed just a
pa of the moonlight, the smooth
river and _ the- summer. What they
werle -to the eye, his song was_to the
ear i I wish Philip could sing. '
4ugust 12.—The most astonishing
thing has happened. I can hardly
believe.. I have • been in a state of
supreme excitement ever since the
mail came in. What will Philip say?
I have never been so happy since the
day he told me he had"made up his
mind that he. was -selfishly standing
in my light, and that our engagement
must be broken till he should see his
wayielear to a fortune. - Nothing r
urged could- change Os - noble resolve.
But no.w there is no longer 'any need
of separation, his way is clear to ii_
fortrine. I have drawn a prize in the
Royal- Havana Lottery! Good luck
under a horseshoe. ;,-.
August. 13.—Mr. Andover came `to
give me my lesson. He saidil looked
as it I had heard good news.. wrote
Philip all abodt it, and hOw- , happy I
am to know that our days of separa
tion are ended—that he must feel' it
as much his money as mine, and that

haps it is too early to look for one.
o.—i shall never have the happi-,
nes4 . of ; expecting a letter from Philip
again. Perhaps I am only punished
for my selfishness. bought the lot
tery, ticket, t 9 he sure, in order to
benefit the home mission, but the
temptation to•benefit Philip and my
sellwas too great. When I drew tbc
prize I doubted at the time whether
I did not owe it all to the home mis
skin, but as I had only hoped to draw
a thousand dollars at most for that
cause, my scruples were overruled
. by
selfishness. My religious enthusiasm,
as .Philip once called 'it, died out
when it came into Competition with
my own happi i ness. I mil punished,
indeed. I was so happy, too, when
I started under Mr. Anddver's con
voy.for the ch-urch picnic. I had no
doubt but Philip was on his way.to
mect.me and % rhake arrangements - for
oar marriage,; because he had not.
written. Perhaps he would be at
home waiting i for me-when I returned,
talking it over with mother. I was
.so sure oflis• love. t By-and-by f got
tired strolling in the woods and
hunting for .maiden hair fern with
Mr.!Anddver, and 'rat down by some
trees, a little apart from the others,
to think and enjoy. And presently
I heard _Miss Anne Cutts reading a
letter aloud to Mrs. Blair; and her
droning voice was hushing me off to
sleep.
"our wedding Is ?from! for October. I wanted to
watt till Chrbittnas, tout my lord and master object..
ed. My gown Is already erdefed of Worth. I shall
be married In church by Mr. Andover.
••liuur attevtlouate. ttlece,
N ETTE C u Its ."
Wris Miss Anne Oats still reading
aloud, or had I dreamed 'this about
the wedding . and Mr. Andover? I"
opened my eyes and saw a little bird
tiltingon 'a spray, and immediately
Mrs. Blair broke the spell by saying,.
" Bless me, Anne! it's a good match
for Philip Devereaux, now isn't
A lucky 'day for him when he broke
off With Bellle Ford !" 'And I heard
no More; the trees and the bird
seemed to swimbefore me in a cloud .
of Mist. I stood up and steadied
myself against a bowlder, and Mr.
Andover came and put my_ arm in
his and took me home. And this. is
the end.,
Philip untrue ! Philip the lover of
another l It is 'unreal. I cannot
scent to grasp it. •
Auglll4 22.—A letter from Philip
.Devereaux.„ . After all,- I thought,
maybe it vias gossip and hear-say.
The sight of the tiinillar handwriting
1 ,
se the blood spinning through my
ye' s. He congratulated me on my
Os IA luck, .and• . added : " Having
b -.'' ken our engagement when we were
lit beggars, howl could ',renew it
,
no , because you have become rich ?
We not the world—our world—
have the right to point tile finger of,
scorn at me ? I cannot accept such
generosity, Belle, even for your sake,
but. must - still plod on." Once I
should have thought these sentiments
so noble.
_Whereas I was blind, now
I see. Ile thinks that I kriose-noth
ine the affair of Annette.Cutts,
or helms not the courage to break it
to me. •
September 15.-4 have resumed my
German studies, to divert my mind.
Everybody is talking of the4pproaeh
ing, marriage...l told Mr. Andover
about the prize,and.asked if:lie would
take'it for home missions.
" Have you the money in hand ?"
•
•
.he asked.
• "No; have not: . even sent on my
ticket. I have me ! rely, been notified
that .I find drawn the .amount."
"! my dear - Miss' Belle," he said,
I' •
r pardon me—but I do not approve of
!lotteries."
`• Neither do I, any.longer."
may be a foolish scruple," he
puisued ; " most people would laugh
at it; but it seems to me that money
obtained in that way does more harm
that' good—will not be blessed in
the !use."
"[Perhaps not," I said ; " but what
REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER.
shall I do with it?• I feel like the;wian
who drew the elephant."
" Suppose you destroy the ticket,
and do nothing ibout it?" •
"Very returned. "I wish
I had never bought it." And so I
held it in the gas jet ; and reduced
the fortun'e that was to have made me
happy to a pinch of ashes:
October I.—A dreadful thing hi►s
happened. Squire Cutts has died
insolvent. It will postpone Annette':
wedding. I hear that the order for
her wedding gown has been counter
manded. But. if Philip loves her, she
is still rich. All the kingdoms of the
earth cannot buy love.

and how much has occurred ! I have
often wondered how Philip Dever ,
cans bore himself after Annette Cutts
married old General Battles, with his
millions and his gout, preferring a
palace without-love to love in a cot
tage. Yesterday I wandered into the
pine woods alone. Mr. Andover and
I have'been there so often that all its
treasures pf shade and sunlight, of
soaring pines and. hunible mosses,
seemed to — Belong to us. Its . w4pding
ways are like enchantment, luring us
on to more beauty and serenity.' It
is like walking through dim cathe-
dral aisles as we tread upon the car
pet of pine needles '
and hear the
wind fluting through the branches,
while spit y incense is wafted about,
and sweet-thoughts come.like a ben
ediction. You scarcely hear'an ap
proaching footstep,.and I rva'S gath
ering . some fern, when sonic one
close beside me said, " Isabelle! Isa
belle! - a voice that sounded
strangely familiar, but was not Mr.
Andover's; a voice that seemed to
conjtire a vision of starry slimmer
and sweet scents, and tender words,
in an instant before I could turn. I
never once thought of Philip Dever
eaux, but there /e: stood, smiling and
debonair, as if we had only parted a'n,
hour ago. " Your mother told me / I
should find you here," he said, taking
my unwilling,. hand. " See, I pjeked
a tour-leaved clover as I e:amezacross
the meadow ; that means luck. Isa
belle, can you forgive me?"
" Yes, indeed," I answered, hearth
15; " and thank you, too.".
" I was a fool, Isabelle." "
• . " And so was I."
" Isabelle , don't turn away your
head. I never lOved Annette. I love
you. You have no cause for jealousy.
I have come back to marry you, Isa.
belle." a
" I shall never marry you, Philip,"
I said. " I do not love you any
longer."
" Not love me!" he: cried. ""Oh,
I understand; you have some natural
resentment"
"But no love." And then he fell
to protesting and expostulating, wipe
we walked out of the pine woods to
gether ; and just as we emerged into
the mai, we met Mr. Andover: He
bowed - awl passed on. I knew he had
come to look for me. I parted with
Philip at the gate, where-We parted
once before, and to-day it is all ovef
town that our engatrement is. renewed:
June /6.'--Mr. ° Andover has not
been to see me since the day I met
him coming out of the pine woodS
with Philip.. Philip called, but I de
clined the interview.
.true 18.--Met Mr. Annoyer walk
ing on the causeway . by the river.
He turned slid joined. me.. An .old
woman came out of a fishing-hut
presently, and begged for money.
As he opened his purse something
glittering fell put at-his feet. It was
Aunt Holyoke's ring. He picked it
up. " You used to wear this,"
.he
said ; " that is why I bought it."
" You were very good. Did you
mean to give it to me ?" I asked.

GOLD FIELDS OF CALiFonxi.4..—Yor
hundreds of miles along the western
base of the Sierras are gold-hearing
veins :arid placers, awaiting develop
ment that will yield a proiltabler're
tnrn to the energy and [honey of the
capitalists who will yet seek this field
as one of the best and most reliable
to be found on the globe.. Here will
be found every facility of a warts cli
mate, accessibility, cheap and availa-
hie power, and every concomitant
that can make the busin'ess profitable
above the cost of production. The'
gold mines of California, notwith
standing the vast treasures they have'
given to the world, are comparatively
unworked fields. The gold-bearing
veins are practically witlut limit,
and the dead river channels are,only
beginning - to yield their inexhausti
ble stores. This is not an over-drawn
estimate of the gold fields of Califor
' -nia, and far-seeing men are:beginning
to realize the importance of giving
more attention to them as - a source

THE OYSTER AND Fisn BUSINESS.
—These two important industries of
the country have never bad the at
tention given them their - size and
importance demands, the want of
which has
.placed our government at
much loss and disadvantage in the
past. The United . States fish com
mission having been requested by
the superintendent of the census to
furnish a full.and detailed report of
these industries, have commissioned
a full corps of officers, who arc now
in the field and will prosecute their
inquiriis along the entire Atlantic
and Pacific -coasts. Mr. Ernest In
gersoll, of Washington, special agent
in charge of the oyster inquiry, is at
present at work lb this port:
visit's every port from here to theATulf
in this investigation. The refforts
from the fish commission will be
looked for with interest, and all en
gaged in the trade, either directly. or
indirectly, will, we know, take pleas
ure in giving full informatioc to the
special agents as they call on them.

THE PLANETS.
Just at the present our evening
sky is unusually interesting, - the
great planets Jupiter and Saturn and
our next neighbor, Mats .wing all in
sight .at once, togethee7with the
Moon. If Venus were, still blazing;
in the West, as during the summer
months, we should have all the con
spicuous planets ' together, Mercury
being the only one of all the rest
- ever visible to the .naked eye. by
moonlight,and Mercury - never even
comes - out of the twilight. At mid
night Jupiter has passed the meridi
an and moves 'slowly towards his set
ting. AlwayS a magnificent Ad-est:e

late,

tinged with color, aid -have been ra
pidly changing in form and position
from eight to night. For some time,
also, a peculiar oval spot of unex
plained origin and character has
been visible upOrr his surface when-.
l ever Abe rapid' rotation of the planet
;has brought it' to our side of the i
,r ,

miles in-length, by 7,000 in width,
and situated about 25° south of the /
Owlet's equator; - it, is of a vivjd.
crimson, so that it stands out vigor
ously to - the eye among - the / other
markings of the surface . - It /seems
to be identical with one fieseobserv
ed in 1862 by Lord Rossc;Ahough it
was then of somewhatifferent form
and dimensions. In e meanwhile
it has been from ti e to time lost

clouds, butlfor t e last - three, years
has changed t slightly, and ' for
some months ast has been absolute

ed. Wha may be its real cause and
nature o one seems able to explain.
It is almost certainly atmospheric

esin position and appearance (but if
/
so, why are the -chabges so very
slow? ~
Nearer the meridian at midnight,
and ikigher up, is the pale Saturn,
somewhat brighter than the Pole
Star, and distinguishable from neigh
boring stars of similar brightness by
its untwinkling Every one
knows thatit is surrounded by a re
markable system of rings and an at
tendant flock of satellites. Two years
ago the rings were edgewise to the
earth, and visible only a§ a 'thin nee
dle of., light piercing the planet's
globe. Last.year even, they had not
opened up enough for Isatisfactory
observation, but now at length they
have unfolded their beauty again in
all its wonderful details. The nar
row outer ring, with its tiir-like
markings, the dark division between
this and the middle ring,_ and the
filmy inner ring of diaphanous haze,
are once more visible. On the whole,
viewed with a telescope of sufficient
power, this planet with its append-
ages is the finest of all celestial ob
jects. - There is not,liodeed,„ that vi
vidness of light and color which
makes some stellar clusters and
groupings so magnificent, nor Such
an endless variety as we- find upon
the lunar surface. As some one has
said, the beauty of the_moon 'is that
a picture,—full of details and shad
ings, all significant an t d interesting.
but so numerous as tQ be bewililer
ing. Saturn, on the other hand, is
beautiful like a statue=one perfect
thing, complete in itself and unique
in the universe. There is nothing
else resembling it, so far as our
kfioivledge now extends.. -
High in the east blazes the fiery
Mars, not far from the Pleiades. It
is some millions ot, miles more re
mote than an its last opposition two
years ago, but still much nearer and
more. brilliant than . usual, so that in
the telescope the markings of its stir-
face are clearly visible, and afford
the 'astronomer an interesting subjeci,
of observation in end , ?avorinig to sep
arate what is Continennal and ocean-
is from that which ismerely! atmos
pheric and transitory. We ,already'
have a.some - what detailed map of the
planet's surface, and every season of
opposition furnishes' additions and -
corrections. Very interesting to as
tronomers, also, are the little satel
lites-with the tremendous names Dei
mos and -Phobos, (Panic and Terror)
which were discovered at Washing
ton two years ago, and have 'again
come in sight, both of them, as. we
learn far a circular from Professor
Hall, their discoverer, very. nearly, in
their predicted places. Deimos was
first seen on the 22d of September,
some three weeks before it was .ex
pected to be - visible, by Mr. Com
mon, of England,. who caught the
first of, it with a silver-on,
glass reflector of three feet diameter,
constructed by himself. Of course,
these little bodies, the larger of the
two not more than five- or six miles
in diameter, are quite beyond the
reach of any but the most powerful
instruments.
Ma. GREELEY'S ltumua.—one day
a stranger came into the office,
looking angry, and inquired for
Greeley. 1 Pointed to the little den.
where Greeley was scratching away
for dear life
s and he !bade for it. As
be went in I heard hiin say : "You
old hypocrite!"
G reeley did
not look up or evenl-pause, but
kept driving his pen •m i fidly on, his
nose within a couple o inches of the
paper, and -.his lips whispering. the
words after the pen, as was his wont.
The fellow continued, calling Gree
ley's attention to an article _that had
offended him, and denounced him as
a villain v a coward. and a liar; with
an oath -about every other word,
Meantime threatening to "knock his
head off." Greeley didn't stop fora
moment, but jabbed his .pen into the
ink and., wrote on, Unruffled by the
blasphemy. At last the intruder ex
hausted- his vocabulary, and turned
to leave the room, Greeley jumped
up and squeaked out to him: " Say,
neighbor, don't go ! Stay here and
free your mind !"—Olirer Johnson,

SOME CURIOUS STATISTIOS.
Allowing two square feet-to each
person, the entire population of Bos
ton could stand on the Public Gar
den, with a good' deal of room to

United States could. stand in Boston
Troper, (not including Brighton, Dor- .
cheater,. and West Roxbury.) The
entire'population of the world, (now
_estimated at . 1,440,000,000) could
stand. on the Island of Martha's- Yin
yars, or in the space occupied by ;the
towns' of Boston, Brooklin, Need. -

ton., The State of Massachusetts
could in this way accommodate sven-1 ,
ty'tithes.the population of the world.
' The entire . population of the world,
placed side by side,land allowing two

A CHINESE THEATRE.—Three thou

atre-in San Francisco on the opening
night a fortnight ago. The bill com
prised " Fung Slang" and " ruing

lungs of the performers, and a series
of ridicufous pantomimes, accoMpa
nied by 'an orchestra of Chinese fitl
dl'er.s, gongs, cymbals, drums, tip - -
pans and fish-horn resulting in,a
medley of squeaks, giflans, yells, fog

appeared upon the stage, had a quiet
little game of leap-frog, turned a few

appetites were rravenous, went in

that long and weary night they did
seek without finding, but the next
morning they caught, him up a plufil

him to the bride, and were about to
send for the preacher, when she in
terrupted the proceedings• by ex

in the still watches of the night. The
editor awakened and questioned the
intruder:

" Moticy."
" Hold on a minute," quoth the
editor, "and I will help you.; I've
