ins CREAM OF THE aim ZOOK& MIL Zergaingham's Journal. One of the best tales in poetry we have had fer a very long time, and as delicate a, picttire of domestic life as .it would' be easy to find either in verse or prose, is the little piece with the above title; which Charles Scribner & Co. republish in this country. It is . a 'colloquial and accidentalseeming bit of perfection, in which the sparkling, changing verse is made to express every mood of a gay woman's mind. The Journal introduces Mrs. Jemingham as a bride, tired of her lonely • house,-afraid of her cook, and a little disappointed in " John": I wish he was a barrister, ' Then he could talk and cause a stir, And wear a lovely curly wig, To make his face look brown and big; • • ' A captain in a uniform Might take a woman's heart by storm; And sailors are the hest of all, tiuch charming partners at a ball: But just a banker—don't you see,. . It is so very tame and flat-- ~ • Why did he want to marry ms? How could Papa consent to that ? adi John Jerningham's a horrid name ! Alas !Imy cards must bear the same !" Some variety is promised by the dance, to which the' young pair are going. John com plains of the ball-dress, and stipulates they shall be no waltzing. The ball-room inspires the following pretty touch : " The moonlight through the window came (I wonder if it likes a ball), And laid itself in silver flame Across the floor and up the wall: The dancers did not pause or start, Afl'righted at its beauty sweet; I think the girl can have no heart Who treads the moonlight 'neath her feet !" She chooses to forget the command against waltzing, permits the handsome Arthur Fitz maurice, of the Guards, to twirl her round the room, and is ignominiously carried home, like a naughty schoolgirl, by John. The next-thing, she imprudently meets the handsome loafer at Kensington Gardens: Be's not a thing to do, I see, • But talk to me 'math summer sky; The hours pass on, and so do. we,— If he is lappy, so am I. I'm flirting just a little bit— But fl irting keeps a girl alive; I turn my watch and look at it— I almost scream—'tis half-past five!" John becomes suspicious : " In stately pride our tea we drink, I. os_neak—Lthink But John speaks first, Pray, have you read The book 1 marked for you he said. I? no; I never opened it; You spend your time as you think fit.' Grimly he answered, Will you play The symphony you learned today? ' '1 din not learn one." Ah, indeed, You did not care to play or read ; What did you do ?' 'W hat could I say ? Tell him the truth 1 never can, Which is—l walked about all day ' With an extremely pleasant man! And so 1 murmur, things,' And from my fingers pull the rings." The captain begins to call at her house, and once, at a dinner, compromises her a little by making her blush conspicuously. Says John : " ' Think of it now you must and can. And answer ere you leave this place— Why did you blush to meet that man! Bow dared you flirt before my face ?' " What man?' asked I. He did not stir; And so I softly cried—' Alack ! And would you really, John, prefer That I should flirt behind your back? ' " He grasped my arm—my arm is small— He left a mark—a see it now) And cried, You shall not flirt at all, A glance may break a marriage vow! 1 ask you where you met that man ?' How bard I strove .to get away ! Tell him the truth I never can, • Ah, foolish girl! what can I say ?" The captain's next, call finds the lady asleep on a sofa ' lie shakes my hand—my arm is bare, • The open sleeve the mark displays, He cries, The villain rdid he dare ?' His lazy eyes are in a blaze, A little kiss is on'my hand, I bang my head and blush with shame, 'Wishing to make him understand That John is not'so much to blame. a While thus we stand the door's flung wide, John enters with a haughty stride, The rightful master of the place, With dreaoful anger in his face." The husband believes matters far worse than they are. A family friend, Sir James, interferes. " Danger ? Ah- yes!' I sadly cry— I've lost my husband's love, 'tis plain, And told him such a wicked lie We never can be friends "Re stared at one. 'ls thit the whole?' While yet he frowned he almost smiled, And softly said, God bless my soul! How could John marry such a child?' And then, with quite a tender look (Cause for the change I could not find), He talked like fathers in a book— Papa was never half so kind. " You have been frivolous and vain, But yet I think your heart is good ; I think you will not err again, _ I think you'll learn what women should: And so, for fear the world should blame, And - mingle falsehood with the truth, I'll take you home to Lady Grleme, And we'll protect your foolish youth !'" John is far too stern and suspicious. The little creature's life under espionage is 'terrible. Confidence is fokmally restored, but the hus band thinks his bride very much itf want of "forming." This leads to the following very amusing Incident " I drove to Mudie's, and I brought A carriage-full of steady books ; •I'll tell him about these,' I thought, And see bow pleased my master looks He will not ask me what I do, So 11l take courage, and converse; I don't talk very well, 'tis true, But I've known women do it worse. " 0 0 John l' I cried, my audios ROO— science, philosophy—that's best!—' And—what's the horrid word? dear me!— Theology and all the rest!— Here's "Ecce Homo"—take a look-- A serious thing, and yet so light; Colenso on the Pentateuch, A Bishop, John, so he's all right! " " Maurice on Future Punishment"— That's nice, and proves there's none, you know— And " Darwin on Development"— That's charming, and amused me sd-- Awl here's a poem full of force— tiwinburne, a Cambridge man, you see, That won't be very deep, of course, But surely deep enough for me!' "ohn looked a little pale, I thought, • .And said, his voice a little low, 'Pray, have you recut them?'—that I ought He meant—l, bravely answered No; I've only glanced at them as yet, They're long, you see, and I preferred To study them and not forget— " mean to read them, every word!' "'Paper and string he slowly took, Tied nil toy books in parcel neck, Directed them with steady look, To Mr. Mudie, Oxford street.

And' cried, I'm glad, the poison's gone!' " But when he saw my frightened stare, Be smiled, and:all his looks unfroze, Close to my own ho drew, his chair, And said, 'l'll choose your books, dear Rose!' " ,The husband meets with a terrible accident and the wife nurses him through deliriana an , insensibility: , . " lam in Heaven, am I not? You are an 'angel with her eyes ! And you've her little dimple got,. That used to gladden and surprise; , 'Twat; just before she laughed it came, rve often watched it dimpling in, Yes—there it is—and mite the same. I'm glad you've got her pretty chin— Poor lovely child!—she's dead, you know; I killed her though I loved her well, I killed her, 1 ill-used her so, I think I'll have to go to hell.' " And then he slept—as If, alas ! The thought of hell could soothe and bless, And I ran peeping to the glass My little dimple to caress." The handsome captain has vanished from the scene as completely as if he had never ex isted. The phases of fever and convalescence pass, knitting the husband and wife in a new intimacy. The banker gets a great deal better fortune than his cruelty deserves, in the =al terable devotion of his bride; and the poem concludes happily : ,1 Sir James smiles on me as he goes, And says, I think the wrong's come right, For, though your cheek has lost its rose, I fancy that your heart is light.' The glance I gave is quenched in tears, In happy tears that sprang and shone, I'd not a bit of room for fears, I was made up of hopes alone! " He cried, ' The fight might frighten some, /thought that' ova would win the day; Be .a wise woman—stay at home And learn your lesson—to obey 17 "He went; John's arms are round me now, The blissful moments speed away, And with a kiss that seemed a vow, • He murmured, ' 'We will both obey! For I am thine and thou art mine, And trust is true and faith is fond. 0 fairest. face! 0 face divine ! Beloved a lover's, love beyond !' " I was so full of happy care, And so wrapped up in John, you know, I bad forgotten I was fair, And wondered when he told me so ! " THE LOSS OF THE ONEIDA'. An Account by Mail.-. Highly Interesting The Buffalo Express has a letter from Yokohama, Japan, giving some interesting particulars of the Oneida disaster. The writer says: We are all stunned and bewildered by the suddenness, 'the unexpectedness, the vastness of the calamity. You may know what it is to have some one burst in upon a tranquil morn ing reverie with: • One of the four old friends we dined with, and smoked with, around this table,. and said goodby to at this door last night, dropped dead in the street before he had gene fifty steps from the house!—lay dead and'. stiffening on the pavement while we still sat by the fire talking about him !" But for one to rush in frantically (as did my traveling comrade this morning), and tell you that a hundred of last night's friends are swept out of existence! It is appalling. As far as I can recollect, through the dizzy whirl of thought that distracts me, we went on board the Oneida yesterday forenoon, with the United States Minister, Mr. De Long, and his private secretary, Mr.:Farington, and spent a very pleasant hour or two with the officers. All the ship's complement, high and low, shoulder-straps and tarpaulins, were in a breezy good humor, for after a ong and tire ' some absence upon a foreign station and among barbarous peoples, they Were about to steam away for their home on the other side of the globe. There was such .a spring to their step, as they walked the deck, and such a hearty ring to their voices, and such a happy light in their, eyes, that we half wished we were going with them. And when we sat in our cutter, with oars respectfully held , aloft in line, waving the boys good by as we rose and fell on the swell of the sea, we felt a touch of re gret that we were to remain behind. The 'Oneida had not been gone from here more than two hours (she left at 'five o'clock yesterday afternoon) when the accident hap pened, and she was still within five or six miles of the shore at the time. The great steamer Bombay bore down so quickly.upon her that after the former's lights were discovered there Was no time to get out of her way. The Bom bay cut her half in two and she went down in ten minutes. And as she settled, and the life lease of a hundred and .twenty men ceased from measurement by years, months and days, and dwindled to a hurrying handful of seconds, two officers, cool• and calm amid the wild.rush and clamor and confusion, the shrieking - of the, wind, and cries of mutilated men, stood by the; guns and sent peal after peal of thunder rever berating.over the lonely wastes of the-sea!-But it was only a stately knell for a good ship and gallant crew, for no one heard it, and no one answered its supplication. No one out on those dismal waters heard it, at any rate, unless the people in the Bombay did, and it does seem utterly impossible to believe they could have heard those distressful signals and gone careering on their way heedless of them, as they did. Such conduct as this sea-cap tains are often charged with—so often, in faet, that the splendid generosity which the sailor character is popularly believed to be made up of stiffers gravely, In consequence, with many unromutic people. It is hard to believe that the mighty crash of timbers and the tremen dous 'concussion attending upon the col lision of two ships going at a swinging speed, could fail to suggest to the people in the uninjured vessel that possibly those in the other would need assistance—yet this is actu ally claimed by the Bombay passengers, it is said. 'The Bombay clove through and through the other ship and sped o.n without stopping a wheel, leaving nearly two hundred human be ings at the mercy of the sea and the sharks. They say they heard no request that they sheuld stop! Verily, these people be punc tilious beyond anything known even to a Spanish court. But of course all manner of wild reports are flying hither and thither, now, and one hardly knows what to creditor what to reject. , There is strong feeling against the captain of the Bombay, and if his misfortune had happened in Texas ho would be lynched, no doubt. IdinistervDe Long, and the attaches of the legation,lave been hard at work all day, doing everything thatpromised to succor a survivor, and the Japanese government has also come cheerfully forward with vessels and men to aid in the work. George L. Watson, third mate of the Bom bay, was splicer of the deck at the time of the collision, and to his neglectful conduct the dis aster is attributed. There had been the usual bustle and confusion consequent upon getting a great ship ready for port, and all the ex :perienetd seamen were needed in this work. Both watches were turned up and put hard at it, and when they were still short-handed, \Vat .son called the quartermaster and two look outs from their posts and sent some raw hands aloft who were useless for such service. When 'the hurry was over, Watson still left these green hands to stare into the gray night with their unaccustomed eyes and run over ships walnut giviug any notice, —but why he did this we cannot know. Simply, through for getfulness, no doubt. WO5Oll is an American by birth, and has gWaYs been of a roving, reckless disposition. HisMatne is mentioned in connection with several questionable enterprises, in these seas and elsewhere, but he did one thing 'hiring• the 'rebellion which gave him as pleasant a no toriety, fora while, as this last episode hi his career is likely to give hini an unpleasant one. For this is the same man whose`,bomlishell ex ploit off Charleston was the subject of the song, still sung in the navy, of"-'Bombshell Watson Ahoy 1" He was boatswain's mate on board the Pembina during the bombardment of Stnnter, and one nay he' climbed into the main top to carry a message to the Second Lieu tenant, when, just as he doffed his cap and opened his mouth, a screaming bombshell de scribed its smoking arch in the heavens and lit right between the two men. Watson steoped among the smoke, took up thd 'shell and threw it overboard, remarking, (q. got hero first, and I cal'late to speak first 1"' It is a pity such pre sence of mind as that should have degenerated into such melancholy carelessness as he is just now charged with. „ CANINE FINE ABM Theophile Gautier, the clever, brilliant, and of course strictly reliable French writer on do mestic animals, of which (or of whom) he was passionately fond, had among other pets, a spaniel of extraordinary character. His name was Zamore. He was neither stylish in form nor handsome in color; but he was a dog of very marked characteristics many eccentrici ties, and much artistic taste. He had no faith in women, refusing to follow them, or in any way to recognize them. In fact, the only per son for whom he seemed to have' any special affection was Gautier's father, whom ht fol lowed, step by step, wherever he went, but al ways in the most demure manner, keeping close to the old gent's heels, and never stopping to gambol with other dogs, or even to turn his eyes from his master's steps. One day, as Zamore was lying at his mas ter's, feet, he was aroused by music in the street; and on going to, the windoW,. saw a band of trained dogs dancing on their hind lees to the sound of music. Zamore was im mediately seized with an irresistible desire to be among them ; and at once rushed to the street, and mingling with the dancing dogs, endeavored awkwardly to imitate their mo tions ; but only got cut by the showman's whip, and driven ignominiously back into the house. From that hour the dog's peace of mind, and even his appetite, forsook him. Af-. ter a while a strange noise was heard in the nighttime, in the room where Zamore usually slept. This Continued night after night, until it_wasThourdlt_bestinvestieate the matter; and on going noiselessly to the door, Zamore was discovered prac tising on his hind legs the steps which he bad so much admired in the trained dogs which he had seen (lancing in the streets. And, this practice lie continued, running into the streets whenever he heard the sound of the dancing dogs, and watching their steps with curious interest, in' order to practice them at night. This lie did until he acquired a good degree of proficiency in the art. One fine morning the servants were astonished to find some fifteen or twenty dogs gathered in a circle in the courtyard, with Zamore in the middle, exhibiting all his fine dancing acquisitions to his admiring friends. The poor dog survived but a little time, dying of brain fever, brought on by too close application to study and prac tice, in learning to dance the schottische. PROTECIION FOR MINERS.
