THE WiSIJVK SOON.
BY W. C. BBYANS?.
I’ve watched too late; the morn Is near!
One look at God’s broad silent sky! : •
O hopes and wishes vainly dear,
How in your very.strength-yedie!
Even while your glow Is on the cheek,
And scarCuthe high pursuit begUnj.
The heart grows faint, the hand grows weak;
The task pf life is left undone.
See where Upon the horizon’s brim,
Lies the still' cloud in gloomy bars;
The waning moon, all pale and dim,
Goes up amid the eternal stars.
T,nt« in a flood of tender light,
She floated through the etherial blue, -
A softer sun, that shone all night,
Upon the gathering beads of dew.
And still thou wanest, pallid moon !
The encroaching shadow grows apaoe;
Heaven's everlasting watchers soon
Shall see thee blotted from thy place.
O. Night’s dethroned and crownless, queen!
Well may thy sad, expiring ray
Be shed oil those whose eyes'have sSeh
Hope’s glorious visions fade away.
Shine thou for forms that once were bright,
For sages in the mind’s eclipse;
For those whose words were spells of might,
But falter now on: stammering lips!
In tby decaying beam there lies
Full 1 many a grave on bill and plain,
Of those who closed their dying eyes
In grief that they have lived in vain.
Another night, and-thonsmong
The spheres of Heaven shall cease to'Bhine,
All ray less in the glittering throng
Whose lustre late was quenched in thine.
Tet soon n new and tender light
From out thy darkened orb Shall beam,
And broaden till it shines all night
On glistening dew and glimmering stream.
A Story of Cairngorm.
.The London Court Journal prints the
following as from its Paris correspond
ent. The nobleman referred to seems to
be the late Duke of Hamilton:
Some years ago a Scotch nobleman of
high name and lineage, having learned
that the Emperor was adorning the
great gallery of Compeigne with the
trophies of arms of all nations,begged to
offer his contribution in the shape of a
Scotch trophy, which all the visitors to
the chateau are wont to remark as being
the most beautiful weapons gathered
there. There were but few—the clay
more of highly tempered steel, which
put to shame the Damascus blade
hanging on the neighboring panel:
the small round shield and
the Highland dirk seeming to the eye as
if pf dazzling whiteness from excess of
polish,when the light of day shoneupon
them, but perfectly blinding and impos
sible to be looked upon if by chance the
rays of the sun happened to strike in
their direction. The claymore and
shield were unadorned, but the dirk
had once belonged to the great represen
tative of the mighty house to which the
donor belonged. It had been worn by
him during his whole career, and had
been preserved amongst the priceless
souvenirs of his clan and family. In the
handle glittered a magnificent cairn
gorm, bright and yet full of shadow,like
liquid fire. This weapon, as we all
know, was considered the greatest curi
osity in the whole collection of arms,
and has been pronounced by connoisseurs
unique in the whole world.
A year or two after the conmletion of
the collection the Scotch nobleman hap
pened to be amongst the visitors at the
chateau, and on returning late one even
ing, chanced to pass through the gallery
on his way to his room to dress for din
ner. The light of the taper he carried
fell full upon the panel where hung the
dagger carried with such glory by his
ancestors, and above all, seemed to settle,
as it were, upon the cairngorm, which
actually appeared ready to start from its
socket-like angry eye as it glared upon
him. The effect was so startling that
the Scot could scarcely reach his room
without yielding to the temptation of
calling for assistance.
All the superstition of the Highlands,
deadened, but not destroyed, by com
munion with the gay world of the Con
tinent, the study of modern philosophy,
and a foreign marriage, burst upon his
mind more vigorously than ever from
the long campression. and the dinner
bell found him still musing in his arm
chair, siill trembling from head to foot,
and totally unable to appear at table.
What right had he to dispose of the
goodly weapon which many a time and
oft had served to defend the honor of
the noblest house in Scotland? What
light to give away the jewel, above all,
which had been claimed with tears and
supplications by one who had once been
dearer to his boyish heart than
all the world beside? He had
committed a double crime in
bestowing on another what he
should not have considered as hiß own
to give. The fair claimanthad attached
her superstitious belief to the legend
which insures protection from the demon
to those who possess a jewel which had
passed the night in St. Andrew’s shrine;
and she knew the tradition (in verse
moreover) which told that this very
stone had been taken in great pomp by
one of their, mutual ancestors to pass the
night by the side of St. Anthony’s tooth,
kept in a casket of pure gold at the mo
nastery close by Castle. She was
no longer young,althoughstill beautiful.
She was the wife of another, and the
mother of many children, but her sweet
reproof on bidding him adieu only a few
weeks before, conveyed in the clear,
fresh, breezy Highland accent, still rang
in his mind.
To ask for a return of the gift was im
possible; to remain where he would be
liable to have his feelings continually
excited at beholding it, now that re
morse and memory had been aroused
concerning it, would be too trying, and
so he told his story amid all the naif
embarrassment of a school-boy laughing
at his own emotion,yet scarcely ashamed
of it nevertheless, so powerful are early
impressions and the respect of tradition.
Some time passedaway; the nobleman
returned to Paris, and to the gay life he
had been wont to lead. One night hews
was brought to those who loved him well
®t the Tuileries that he had been struck
w j d®?** 1 suddenly without warning
ana nothing remained of all the wit and
talent and generous liberality which had
endeared him to all who knew him,
save tue memory of the possessor of all
noble qualities and sorrow for his loss.
But while all his friends were still under
the 'influence of the dreadful tidings
there came a message from Compeigne,
stating that during the course of that
same night the cairngorm had disap
peared from the handle of the Highland
TEE DAILY EVENING tUESPAYy DECEMBER 18.1866.-TRIPLE SHEET
dirk in the . long gallery, and that no
indication appeared of the.manner in
which it had been abstracted, nor could
the slightest clue be obtained as to the
way in which the thief had obtained
admittance to the gallery.
Amid thegreater grief inspired by the
loss of a dear friend, the-lesser sorrow’for
that of the privation of a jewel, however
precious, is scarcely heeded. No. ; notice
of the event’was'taken at the moment,
and, indeed, the dagger was suffered to
remain'deprived of : ; its jeweled orna
ment for more than . two seasons, the
idea of replacing it having been forgot
ten amid more serious pre-occupations,
when, to the astonishment of the whole
chateau during one of the most stormy
nights of last winter, the gentleman
ranger, who lives in the apartment be
neath., the gallery, having been
disturbed about midnight " by
the bursting open of a door,
as he thought, by the wind, which
was blowings perfect hurricane, ascen
ded to the gallery in order to close it. He
declares, and everybody is free to ques
tion him upon the subject, that as he en
tered the gallery the .cold current of air
which blew in, fromthe casement,which
had b'een carelessly fastened, and was
swinging to and fro, nearly blew out the
light which he carried, and yet, for all
that, he was conscious of some one be
side himself in the gallery, and as he ad
vanced, he became distinctly impressed
that'some one else was retreating from
the side of the gallery where hung the
trophies towards the open window.
The official is a bold man and a great
philosopher. He rushed to. the window
and closed It hastily. Nothing was to
be seen without, and holding the light
above his head,hegazed down the whole
length of the gallery, which was empty
likewise, but, as he turned, he started
with amazement,' fer the light fell upon
the Scottish dirk, and the cairngorm,
bright, fiejy, and dazzling as ever,
seemed to dart living rays upon him
as he gazed! No single incident
has ever been made known by
which the mysterious disappearance
and still more mysterious re
appearance, of the jewel. can even be
guessed at. The iair relative of the
princely donor oL the dagger, who had
evinced the most poignant regret at the
loss of the cairngorm, was immediatel y
written to at her castle in the Highlands
with the announcement of the restora
tion of the lost jewel. But here agaiu
ai ose another romantic circumstance of
this mystery—the answer brought back
information of her death, which had
taken place on the very night of the dis
turbance at the chateau Compeigne, and
the replacing of the cairngorm in the
dagger!
The guide-books to Compeigne bear
testimony to the absence of the jewel
during the last two seasons. The reprint
of this year will tell of its restoration.
The story is given here as told by the
Emperor to his circle of visitors, and as
certified by the inhabitants of the cha
teau. The Sunday crowd of visitors to
Compeigne during the summer have
been bidden to notice the cairngorm, as
a series of curious coincidences were
attached to it, but until his Majesty
related them clearly and neatly they had
hot been told in their complete form as
above.
Log; Rolling.
An Englishman who was traveling
on the Mississippi river,told some rather
tough stories about theliondon thieves.
A Cincinnati chap named Chase heard
the narratives with a silent but expres
sive “humph,” and then remarked that
he though the Western thieves beat the
London operators all hollow.
“Why so,” inquired the Englishman
with surprise; “pray have you lived
much in the West?”
“Not a great deal; I undertook to set
up business at Des Moines Eapids, a
while ago, but the rascally people stole
nearly everything I had.”
“Just to give you an idea of how they
can steal out there,” continued Chase;
sending a sly wink to the listening com
pany, “just to give you an idea—did you
ever work in a sawmill?’ ’
“Never.”
“Well, my brother one day bought an
all-fired black walnut log—four feet
three at the butt, and not a knot in it.
He was determined to keep that log, so
he hired two Scotchmen to watch it all
night. Well,.they took a small demi
john of whisky with them, snaked the
log up the side of a hill, and then sat
down on sideof the log to play cards and
drink whisky all night—and as it began
to grow light they went asleep astrad
dle of the log. About a minute after
daylight my brother went out to see
how they got on, and the log was gone!’’
“And they sitting on it? ”
“Sitting on the bark. The thieves
had drove an iron wedge into the butt
end, which pointed down hill, hitched
a yoke of oxen on,And pulled it right
out, leaving the shell and the Scotch
men sitting astraddle of it, fast asleep.”
The Englishman here arose, dropped
his cigar stump into the spittoon, and
looking at his watch, said he thought he
would go on deck and see how far we
would be down the river by the morning.
