THE MANTLE OF BT. JOHN DE MATRA.
legend 0 4 ' The Red, rrte and B 14," A. D. 1151-
•
A strong and mighty !Inge!,
Calm, terrible and bht, '
The cross In blended red and bind
Upon his mantle white!
Two Captives by him kneeling,
Each on his broken chain
Banc praise to God who raketh
The dead to life again
Dropping his eross•wronght ma itlo,
Wear this," the angel said;
A" Take thou, 0 Ft eednut's priest, Da sign—
The white, the blue, the ted.l
Then tip rose John de Maths
In the strength the Lord Christ cave,
And beggo3, through all the land of France,
The ransom of a slave.
The gates of tower and castle
Before him open flew.
The drawbridge at his coming fell,
The door-bolt backwani drew.
For all men owned his errand,
And paid his righteous tax;
And the hearts 'gime and peasant
Were in his hands as wax
At last, outbound from Tents,
His bark her anchor weighed,
Freighted with seven score Christian souls
Madan ransom he had paid.
Bat, torn by Pitysiim hatred, - •
Her sails in tatters hung;
And on the wild wave rudderless,
A shattered hulk she swung.
"God save us V" cried the <4WD,
"For naught can man arab
0 woe betide the ship that Isitks
Her nidder and her sail ! •
"-Behind us are the Moormen; '
At sea we sink or strand;
There's death upon the water,
There's death upon the land!"
Then np epake John de Maths:,
"Cod's errands never
Take thou the mantle which I wear,
And make•of It a sail."
They raised theseross-wrought mantle,
The blue, the white, the rod;
And straight hefore,the wind offahore
The ship of Freedom sped.
God help us !" cried the freemen,
" For vain is mortal skill:
The good ship on a stormy sea
Is drifting at Its will."
Then up spake John de Melba
" My mariners never fear!
The Lord whose breath has filled her` ell
May well oar vessel steer!
So on through storm and darkness
They drove for weary hours;
And lo! the thlrd tray morning shone
On 04tla's friendly towers.
Anl on the walls the watchers
The ship of mercy knew—
They knew tar off its holy cross,
The red, the white, the blue. •
And the bells in all the steeples
Rang out triglad accord,
To welcome home to Christ:ln soil •
The ransomed of the Lord.
Bo runs the ancient legend
By bard and painter told:
And lo! the cycle rounds again,
The new is as the old I
With rudder foully broken,
And sails by traitors torn,
Our country on a midnight sea
Is waiting for the morn.
Before her. nameless terror:
Behind, the pirate foe ;
The clouds are black above her.
The stalls white below.
The hope of all who suffer,
The dread of .11 who wrong;
She drills le darkness and in storm,
Hew long, 0 Lord' how long?
Bet courage, 0 my mariners!
Ye shall not antler wreck
While up to God the freedman's prayers
Arc rising from your deck.
Is not your sail the banner
Which God has bleat anew,
The mantle that de Maths wore,
The ted, the !bite, the blue? .
Its hues ere sil or heaven—
ThIS red of onuses's dye,
The whiteness of the moonlit cloud,
The blue of mornimes sky.
Wait ebeerly, then, 0 mariners,
For daylight and Inc land;
The breath of God is in your sail,
Your rudder in Ills hti.
Sail on, sail on, deep freighted
With bl«ssin and with bopen•
The saints of old with shadowy hands
Are pulling at your ropes.
Behind ye holy martyrs
Uplift - the palm and crown;
Before ye unborn area send
- Their henidictions down.
Take heart trim John de Matha!—
God's errands never fail !
Sweep on ihrongh storm and darkness,
The thunder and the hall!
Sail on! the morning cotneth,s - :
The port ye yet shall win;
And all the hells of God shall ring
The good ship brave!) In !

NE W ENGLAND.
"Stern land, we love thy woods and rocks,
Thy rushing streams and wintry glooms;
And memory, like a pilgrim grey,
Kneels at thy temples and thy tombs."
New England l The thoughts of many a weary
wanderer all over the world will ever linger around
that name with the same Instinctive reverence that
the German entertains for his Fatherland. Amid all
the busy cares and vicissitudes of life, memory, true
to Its office, will early him back to the gentles of his
early days, and in fancy he again sports on the rough
but free hills of his boyhood's home. Again in
thought he mingles with loved ones In all the en
dearments of family reunion and together they kneel
around the family altar and mingle their devotions
to the God of their fathers. The lessons of his early
youth are never forgotten. Trough all the changes
of life, though far (ruin the blue hills of his native
home, the lessons of early piety and that strong love
of liberty that ever characterises the New Englander
wherever you find him still cling to him and maim
him the man he Is.
A little more than two centuries ago the Mayflow
er brought across the ocean a little band ot pilgrims
who sought in the wilds of the New World that free
dom of opinion which the tyranny of the Old World
bad denied them. The scene which first wet their
vision as they beheld for the first time the land of
the West was not an Inviting one. No genial ell
mate or pleasant landscape welcomed their approach.
No gentle zephyr whispered for them its soft music
among the leafy tree.tops. The naked rock and the
icy shore greeted them at the threshold of their new
home, While the stern blast of winter howled among
her rocky :erns or sung its solemn anthem amid
the leaders brunches of the boundless forest. The,
landed where tils•foresi alone offered them Its sliel
ter; bat Its dreariness and desolation could not dis
hearten them. nigrsi q than the howl of the storm
or the roar of the oceari\waves arose their song of
praise to Him who had bdme them safely across the
deep: „
" Amid the storm they is4ng,
And the rocks heard and the
The sounding aisles of the di woods rang
To the anthem ot the free."
The solemn arches of God's great te"le echoed
t l / 4
back the mimic of that hymn and Its ton till find
a response in every true American heart at an

be no resurrection. The true beacon light of liberi)
that was lighted at the camp fires of the pilgrim
Fathers still burns with unfailing lustre on even
household hearth all over the rugged breast of New
England. It Is by the light of these that the sturd,
sons of New England have pursued their course
since the time Plymouth rock first echoed to the
white man's tread down to the present time Ac
customed to the forest wilds and nurtured In the
rigid school of puritanism, the love of liberty grew
to be a part of their beteg. When the storm of the
Revolution burst upon them it found men whom
bribery could not swerve from the path ot duty and
who yielded not an loch to the encroachments co
arbitrary power. His love ot freedom Is not that
tire which like the Preach revolution burns only to
destroy, but is rather the clear steady light that it
tumbrel , the surrounding darkness and is tree for all
It lights the hat of the Irish peasant and casts a ra)
into the gloom of the Cornish mines. To enjoy it.
blessings the Italian forsakes the sunny skies of hb
native home and the German forgets the endear
ments of his fatherland.
Such, then, is New England. Fond associations
will ever cluster around her name and embalm It le
the hearts of a grateful people. Stern winter may
lower darkly around her coasts and bind her stream:
In Icy bands, but the 'hearts of her people are always
warm. Her bosom Is rough and wintry winds wins
tie around the hill-tops but nestled lovingly la the
vales are tender hearts and happy homes ;
The nursery of giant men
-Whose deeds have linked with every glen
The magic of a warrior's name. •
It Is to these men, the heroes of Lexington ar)
Bunker Hill, that we arc proud to trace our antes
try. They lifted the dark cloud of ignorance that I
draped the world to mourning and let in the glad
sunshine of knowledge and freedom. They made a
garden where once was but a mighty wilderness and
planted the corner stone of the temple of liberty on
their own granite hills. Amid the terrible storm ot
the Revolution New Eugland battled in the foremost
ranks, and again when treasoth struck its impious
hand at the government she leuthelped to establish,
the blood of her sons was the first to be shed in It,
defense. In 111 sire helped to establish the govern
meat under which we live Now she is helping to
: make that government truly free, and to day t
willing the death warrant of oppression and wrong
with the heart's blood of her bravest sons. The sal
len booming of cannon that the southern gale brings
to our ears is sounding the knell of tyranny in the
Western world. , •
When the sonnds of war 'shall again be followed
by the Lush of peace, when our land shall be free In
truth as well as la name, then posterity will do
; Justice to the record of New England. Her sons
will ever be free for the hearts of her people are her
strongest bulwarks. No Toombs will ever call the
-roll of his slaves from Bunker 11111, hut the waves
, as they beat against her rocky shore will still echo
i the hymn of the pilgrim fathers, and the fax wind
. of heaven will watt it from one end of our broad
land to the other. The whole world will hear It.
Its whisper will tell to Rome the store of her former
;.glo*. .It)a - DlCre"4 the bine waters of the bletilter
i cancan to the once mighty republic of Greece, but
I where now, alas, the sad sea waves only echo back
i from her voiceless eaverns the dirge of her lost Mer

Kings will tremble at the sound, thrones will crum

all over the world will hear it and rejoice.

At that moment a Indy entered the ball room. The
above observations were made by a couple of gentle
men who stood directly In front of me, and who had
seen the fair erratnre's faro
_ . . .
I am very stweeptable to female beauty, and there
fore my curiosity was slightly aroused at the men

tapping me on the shoulder. " Did you see Miss

" Miss Leighton—the lady that Just came in ?"
"Yea, don't you know the Leighton?"
" Why, my boy, Miss Leighton is the most apendid
woman in town—the belle in fact Shall / make
you acquainted?"
"Certainly.'
I was soon making my prettiest bow before the
lady aforesaid. She bad dark, languishing eyes, that
could speak the language of the Maul much more
eloquently than the tongue; a fine complexion,—
rme and Illy blended: a voice as sweet as flyer
loved one's,
and a firm—but I can't describe It. I did my bea t to make myself agreeable to that be

I do not know enough about even to tell the name
of, but which seemed to me—if I may wan the e x.
nression—part blood and part angeL
"Then I was 14km—she had wings, or seemed to
have—over the smooth floor, with this fair one

ecstasy, seemed heavenly.
I passed a delightful evening, and at leaf had the
pleasure of helping Miss Leiehton Into her earrhlge,
and securing a smile and a sweet "Good night,' as
the esrrisge rolled away.
Next morning I saw Baum and my first words
were "who le Miss La ighton

"Never mind-newer the question."

Sally was at least thirty years of agr. She had

tried to make her komman mouth into a emelt one,
that it had at last settled into an aggravated packer,
Ind her sharp nose hung overit, assume giant might
bend near to look into the crater of Vesuvius.
I did really pity poor Sally, for I knew her lace
must have felt uncomfortable.
Ida was very social, and when I rose to go, I telt

told Bongo so.

For tWo weeks I was mitt? Ida the greater part at

But then I thought she wifuld not consent to that

and so I must win them both. '..,
Bangs was better acquainted With Mr. Letzbton
than 1, and so I went to ask his opinion of the

However, I should like to go to a wedding, and I
hope you'll succeed "
What did I sect A carriage passed me at that
moment; Ida was setti3g beside a:6 twang gentlenuiti,
tier face turned up to his. I bowed bat she did n3t
see me. They w,.re chatting gaily. What could It
mean.
It was just in the edge of the evening. I did not
dap a moment, for I was determined to know the
meaning of this. I would be at the house when Ida
returned, and know li it was in reality an arrival. I
was hoping that it might be a cousin, for I could
not believe her telse. I could not behove she would
even a rile upon another. But, then, how confiding
she wee looking up to him.
I had walked very feet, and soon found myself at
the door, when a hand was laid upon my shoulder
I turned my hand, and Bangs was standing betide
. .
"Take laudanum—it's the easiest way."
Ile laughed and went on. I entered the gate and
walked up into the house. No one was in the
room, and I passed off into the library,
wnere I found Mr. Leighton.
"Ida has gone out, has she not?" I asked.
" she in In the drawing-room," be replied.
I went back. The gas bad not been lit, and It
was quite dark, but on the lounge I saw Miss Leigh
ton. How It relieved tne.
"I thought you had gone out," said I taking a
.eat beside her.
" No. Sister went out with 3dr. Davis, tiding."
" But haven't you been out?"
"tin"
"I thought I saw you."
"No."
" Who Is Mr. Davie ?" I asked.
lie is an old friend of outs. Ile came from New
York to-day."
" Only a friend it"
"I believe he and sister am engaged to be mar
ried."
That was consoling. I could hardly believe that I
had not Ida in the carriage, but if lir. Davis was
PIEC2gIA to sally, I bad nothing to fear.
Tue moonligut was just stealing into the room.
That and Ida bright eyes was light enough; I
needed no other. I hardly dared to speak, fearing
that it would break the spell. and the dear one would
vanish, like the angels in our dreams. To-night de
cides my fate. I bent over her, took her hand. It
lay passively In mine. I felt her warm breath on my
cheek
" Limed," I whispered.
She pressed my baud. It thrilled me strangely.
I felt the blood tingle to my anger ends, and eshhoooot
from heart to the tip of my toes I knew then that
she loved me. I stole one arm armnd her waist.
" It is nemllesa to tell my love, dearest; you know
It already."
"Oh, Edward, this Is too much happiness fat
me!"
See flung !smelt upon my breast, crying like a
child.
I kissed her brow; I wiped the tears lumber eyes;
I sipped the sweet dew from her soft lips.
" When will you be mine?" I asked when she had
b.eome calm - - -
" When you will, darling."
" Will your father consent?"'
Doubt it not. Ile will do nothing that will not
tend to our happiness."
" But I am poor."

thought to myself what will Bangs say when I tell
him all. Then I heard footsteps In the hall, and the
voice of Mr. Leighton. There was some one with
Lim.
"Sister and Mr. Davis have returned."
"Yes. I hope they will not come In,' and I ad
yanred to meet him, leaving Ida sitting ou the sofa.
The pa was lighted.
"Mr. Ldghton," said I, "perhaps you have an
ticipated the request I am about to make."
" Well, well, don't know—what it it?" be asked,
looking somewhat surprised.
You must be aware that my frequent visits to
your house were for some
,purpose."
'To tell the troth I hadn't thought anything
about it "
•• What! never suspected my Intentions ?"
" No."
Tic looked at the sofa, then et me, while a look of
surprise came over his face.
"I think I begin to underatad what It la all about

Was it stra.ge?"
"Why, gracious! boy, she Is old enough to be
yonr motbrrt"
What could he mean? I looked et hlm inquiringly.
It was only for a second. for Mr. Darla came in at
that moment, and Mr. Leighton turned t" him.
" What do you think le up? Billy le cubic to be
married, Frank. We'll have two weddings Inetead
or one."
"Bally to be married ?" cried some one whose
voice I knew ton well.
I turned round quickly. Sally wee sitting upon
the sofa blushing like a tiger lily. Horror! I turn
ed again to see Ida standing besides Mr. Darla, al
most ready to burst with suppreseed lunchter.
" Why, what's the matter with you, my boy? you
look pale," mid Mr Leighton.
"Nothing, sir," I managed to articulate.
"Yen (here Is. Bring some water, Ida, quick, he's
going to faint!"
They laid me upon the sofa, for I was too weak to
stand.
"Leave the room, all of you; he in mine—mine
only!" cried Bally, bending down and putting that
lovely mouth to my lips.
That revived me. I sprang' up. The window was
open, and without stopping to say "Good night,"
I sprang through It, sad did not stop till I lound
myself at Bangs' door.
" What's the matter now cried Bangs, as
I rushed Into the room where he was bitting.
" Where's your hat •

"Your hat and your heart, I stippese, are laying

"Oh mamma, I have been reading such a fanny
story," said little Limy, one evening. "It was
about an old woman who lived all alone in a little
cottage, with a great black cat. But by-and by the
neighbors began to think It strange that they never
saw the little old woman and the big black rat at
the same time. Whenever they w•nt Into the cot
tage and saw the eat sitting by the tire the old wom
an was gone. and when the old woman was there
the cat was gone—at least, to the twonle said. Ku
they began to be 'afraid to go to the cottage after
dark, for fear the old woman might M. a witch. At
last, one night some boys crept up to the window,
after it was dark, and peeped In, There they saw
a wonderful sight_ The old woman was sitting by
the fire, making strange motions and muttering to
herself. Then her hair turned to black fur. her eyes
buaaars round and green, and whisker! grew out of
her eheeka—and to T the old woman became a black
cat. The boys ran home to the village, and told
able strange storv—and I do not like what comes
next for It was .rally too bad. They said the mom
was really a witch, and they drowned her In the
pond. Do you think it can be a true story, maul.
ma P"
"True that the old woman turned Into a eat, do
you mean! or that the people Bald so, and drowned
her'"
"Oh ! I know she couldn't really turn Into a tat :
but did the people ever belleee such things?"
am sorry to say they did. Mna) ye.tra ago,
beton: you or f were born, they did believe In witch
es, and need to puttLsh them most ernelly. Ido not
know whether this particular story is trus; but
such thiturs Ald happen. If any poor old woman
had enemies, they got up such stories abo it lire,
and sometimes even frightened tier into confessing
that she was a witch, and then drowned or burned
her."
" I am glad we don't live rn each times ; though
It would have been fun to nee the woman turning
Into a eat !"
" But remember, Lucy, that Is just the part that
Ls not true in your story. Now, since you have en.
tertained me so welt, I think I must tell )0u a stn
ry. It shall be about a strange tratofortuattuu 0 hick
I have seen take place in this very house, and out
very-long ago."
"'Whit does tranxfonnation mean ?"
"It means changing from one form Into another,
as the old woman was said to have changed into a
att."
•' Bat such a thing never happened really, and In
this house, did it?" said Lucy, with wide-open
eyes.
You shall see. Two little girls lived In this
hbooe. One was a good little girl. with such a
bright, happy face that It was pleasant to Fee her
She had a soil, merry COIN:, and was °gen heard
laughing and singing. She liked to help her moth
er in her work, and to sit beside her and sew, end
s h e thought going to school very pleasant. Her
li-sisons were always easy, and she learned them very
fast; and altogether she was like a sunbeam in the
house.
" The other child had a very different t.ce. It
was no cross anti discontented that no oue liked to
see it, and her voice was as different from the other
little girl's as her face. Sometimes she muttered so
low that no one could understand her and at other
times !be cried, but she never laughed merrily, and
no ono ever heard her sing. She did nut like sew
ing, nor practicing, nor studying, and it sometimes
took her several hours to learn one short lesson.—
Two more entirely different little girls were never
seen, except that they were just the same size, and
both had brown hair. Their eyes were brown too,
but so different that you would not think of their
Wiwi alike even in color.
"how comes the strange part of my story. I
have seen one of these little girls change Into the
other! Not very long ago, the bright, !loopy-look
ing child was sitting there on the rota , alth her doll.
singing sweetly to it, and she looked op when I
tome In and spoke in a pleasant tone to me. 1 said
a few words about a lesson that ought to be Partied,
when suddenly the ehanged Into the other eblld. A
frown came on her forehead, her lips were puckered
up, and her whole face changed Into that of the otlt•
er little girl. Her voice changed, too, and was gruff
and cross, and she threw poor dolly down a. If she
hated bee. But I am glad to tell yen that after a
time there was another change, and Env hrlght,ple4.-
ant little girl came back What do you think of such
trsmformation, Lucy ?"
But Lney did not answer. Her face was burled In
her mother's lap, and I think tome tears were falling
there in the dark.
. -
" Cannot you think of any way of preventing such
a sat transformation, so that I may always keep my
good little girl here, and never see the naughty one
any more ?"
" I wilt try mamma," whispered the little girl.
"That . ' right, for only you can do it I cannot
send away the little girl who troubles me so,hrit you
can prevent her coming, if you are careful and
watchful, and ask God to help you."
Again little Lucy answered softly and earnestly,
"I will try," and I believe she will try, and will suc
ceed too, so that the naughty child will visit the
house more and more seldom, and at last will vanish
altogether, and never be seen again.

teachings of necessity.
It wua welt, perhaps; that Charles I.yuford ebould
obtain a wife of this description, an be himself found
it difficult to rave anything from his ineolen..
it was not !nog before. Caroline became acqueloted
with her hatband'e foiling. She-could 'not feel quite
easy in the knowledge that they were tieing fully up
to their Income, foreeretog that a time ;would come
when their family would grow more expensive, and
perhaps her husband's business, though now flour
ishiug. might become lets so.- Accordingly, one day
she purchased of a tie peddler who came to he door,
a little tie safe, such an chbdren trrquelitly m.o. as a
navings-souk. This she placed c'nspiedonsly on the
tuantlepleco, to that her hu.hand might be sure to
see it on entering.
