The stirring source Is aiming so remote,

Till things that be supplant the things that seem ;
Emerging from the sweetly passing drowse.

Each Sudden look reveals a blinding glare!

Thrilling nerve form to their center fly,
Speeding with messages from car to eye;

And grander thoughts of nobler deeds inspire!

Out of all bounds the crescent Apirlt,

Lifted to range in depths of utter space,
Wafted beyond all thought of time or place;
Plunged in a spasm of bliss without alloy,
Lost in one wild delirium of joy!

MILLY IROREn3 LETTER.
Pm Ann b (limier. Job Gunter' is my
husband . : ilk keep the Anchor Port post
office and a store, arid sell groceries and
garden sass, calico, shoes, and medicines,
Eike other folks in our line, 'when anybody ,
asks for 'em.
When a ship comes in, and 'the 'sailors
come home to their wives and mothers,
trade grows brisk. The housekeepers do
their best dnd thelaisitts and dried cur•
rents and,eggs . and . butter go off finely,
and it's
worth while.to lay in ribbons' for
the girls, andosinoking tobacco and long
for the men.
Jack and his wages make old Anchor
Port brisk for a while, but at last he sails
away, and all the women seem to ask for
will be letters—letters, letters, when they
have a right to expect them, and when
they haven't; all the same.
it's "Please Aunty ("tinter, look over
them, and see if there aren't one for me;"
and it's "Please Uncle Gunter, it might
have got mixed up and overlooked some
how;' often and often—God help the
poor souls !—after Jack lies at the bottom
hf the sea, and nothing will ever reach
them but the news of his shipwreck. But
plenty of letters come after all, and some
times we had to read them for the folks,
Job and I, and so we get to know some
thing of their lives.
Stilly More could read and write her
self, but still I always knew when she
had a letter from Will Masset. I knew it
by the hand-writing; and I
. knew it by
her blushes ; and by Chat happy look in her
face. When he came home, she bought
ribbons and bits or lace by the apronful ;
and I knew where the packages of candy
that he bought were , to go. And I use?,
to keep Job from fishing down in Pull
man's creek of afternoons, because I knew
that was where Milli and Will liked to
walk. Courtin" times comes but once in
a lifetime, and I always like to sec itpros
per.
At last he sailed away, second mate of
the Golden Dove; and when he ,came
back from that voyage, the: , were to be
married.
It was a sad day When that ship sailed.
Mrs. Captain Rawdou and her girls were
crying on the shore. - Twenty woMen
from the Port and five from the Hill were
there to see her set sail.
. It was a grim day, and the voyage was
to be a lung one.
It was under our old sycamore that
Will took Milly to his breast.
"Don't fret, darling!" he said. "I'll come
back safe and sound? I couldn't drown
now ; I've too much to live fur."
Puor boy: in spite of that, the Golden
Dove went down in mid seas, and only
three men reached Anchor Port to tell
how Captain Bawdon, and the rest were
lost, at dead of night, in a most woeful
storm.
- Captain Kincaid brought the news up
to Mrs. Ilawdon. Ile stopped at our
store to tell about it. A nice old man. A
bachelor still, at fifty-eight, and as hand
some, with his white hair and red cheeks,
as a picture.
That was twelve months ago, the night
I went into tli"store to sort soma thiugs
out, as I always did Saturday nights.
Through the week Joh used to get every
thing mixed up—letters in my tea-boxes,
candles in the letter-box, eggs where they
oughtn't to be, and all the place askew. It
was a warm autumn night, and Captain
Kiecaid's vessel was-in port, and: he bad
plenty of custon. Job served the people
while I tidied up. I found half the last
mail in a sugar box, and clothes Oils in
the ground coffee canister, and I just
dumped them out.
"Gather up your letters Job," said I.
"What possesses yon, old man ?"
. And he laughed and piled'em up. And
I made a vow to•rovself that I'd keep the
sugar box full after that, so that he
shouldn't use it for the mail.
I had twenty4nr pounus of sugar
knoWn as "coffee 'crushed," because it was
prepared especially to use in coffee. That
was the finest sugar Anchor Hill folks of
ten bought, though I had a little cut and
powdered by me in. ease Mrs: Itawdon or
Mrs. Dr. Speer, or the minister's lady
should send in ; and I took the paper up
and titled it over the japanned box, pour
ing it in a nice smooth stream, when who
should come running into the shop but
Milly More. She was not dressed careful
ly, and her eyes was red with crying.
1 She asked for some tea, and while Job'
was weighing it out she whispered. to
me:
"Ohl Aunty Gunter, have you looked
to-day ? Isn't there a letter from Will ?
lie said he couldn't die. I don't feel as if
he could. Mightn't lie write, after all?
Do look," •
"My Pet," says I, "its . ii year ago that
the Golden Dove went Down. It isn't
likely; And lie don't let those live that
want to always. It isn't likely, dear, but
I'll look."
I took the letters in My hand one by
one. Many of them would make hearts
glad beifire the,sbutters were up that
night; but ricll - e for Milly! It couldn't
be expected, of course.
I told her so; but I toCiklier• into my
little baek parlor, and made her sit down.
I talked as gciod as I could to her; - but
what good does talking do?
- "Oh, Aunty," . says she, "I know it
seems as if I was a fool;-but I waked up
hopingthis Morning.. I don't believe he
is gone. I can't, I can't. .- .
"When baby died—the only one we ev
er had - I thoughtl never should, believe
it," said I.' ."But - Fhad Job; and you
have , your natither and sister, Milly." .
At that she burst into tears, and put ,
her head down on my Ipiees.• - . • - ,

away. She was a nice, pretty girl ; " but
the Ceptain.was rich, ele,, , rant and stylish.
An old family he came or, too. It was
au honor forlfilly More.
"Not just yet,".imid I, after a while,
"Perhaps you'll feel better. He's old,' I
know, but he'd a splendid man." • •
"You tool" said she. "You tool No.
body understand& It isn't as , if I had
made up my mind, like all thereat. - Will
will always be a living man to my mind.
I don't think any oup ever loved but me.
Nobody understands—nobody!
I kissed her, and coaxed her, and said
no word about chaming her mind; but
for all that I kept thinking of it in a kind
of maze.
"Captat Kincaid such a gentleman
as that. Old as he was, could she fail to
see the honor ?"
But when I told Job, says he:
"Jerusalem! a young, pretty girl like
Milky! Why don't be go after some wid
der.or oldish gal? Milly is too young
for him. Poor Will! What a pity! They
jest suited each other."
I couldn't help it though. Mrs. Cap
tain Kincaid would have things that Mil
ly More could never dream of; silk dress-
es and velvet cloaks, jewelry and stuffed
chairs in her bedrooms, a silver ice-pitch
er if she chose, like Mrs. Captain Rawdon.
She might have a carriage too, and a pair
of ponies. And I liked Milly, and wouldn't
have envied' her luck one bit; and I
didn't wonder at Mrs. More and Fanny.
Once having giVen me her Confidence;
Milly didn't stop ; and Mrs. More cattle
over to talk about it too, nail at last I
fairly up and sided with the old lady.
" says I, a Will is gone and you
aren't his widos', to wear weeds all your
life—not that many do, if they can belt
it, seems to mo—aud Captain Kincaid is
as good as man can be, and you'll be hap
py with him. Yoa can't help loving him
as much as there's any need to love." •
Alter that she stopped talking much to
me. She used to give me strange looks
though. I knew all about it. I knew
that her heart was in the sea; but Will
was gone and why should she refuse what
Providence offered ?
The captain staid at the port three
months, and at last ho worried her into
promising tOIIIII - his wife—old Mrs. More,
I?anny and I. She gave up at last.
It don't matter much• after all," she
said. "I must be going out of my mind,
fur I can never stop watching and hoping.
I shall die soon I suppose whether I mar
ry or not."
After that she never spoke of Will, and
Mrs. More told me she was engaged • and
she wore a diamond ring upon her dnger.
And the day before the ship sailed she
was to marry Captain Kincaid, eo that she
might go to Europe with him.
A year and three months since • the
Golden Dove went down. Well, no one
can t.,11 .abut elinngini a Mao while' can
bring. I used to hove that I hadn't had
much hand in it after all, when I thought
it over, and remembered poor Will, and
how he took ter in his arms under the
sycamo - re.
But then, yon see, Mrs. More's sight
had failed, so that she couldn't do fine
sewiug, and Funny wasn't of much ac
count except to look at. It was a hard
life that lay before Milly. It was good
for her to marry Captain Kincaid, and
have rest and comfort, wasn't it.
"To-morrow is the wedding," raid I to
Job. "It's going to be in the church.
Miss Salsbury is finishing my silver-gray
poplin. It sets splendid. Well' have Ben
Barnes in to keep store,- and • go,Won't
we ? You'll like to see !dilly off wont
yon
"I wish it was Will '.basset," says Job.
"Poor Will r says I, and . I . went on
tidying, though it was Friday. I shbuld
be so busy next day. I got out my big
paper of sugar, and I got down my jap
panned sugar box, never empty yet since
that day r filled it up. • And then Job,
sorting the letters, looks up at me.
"Neve'r begrudged yon anything so
much as Ido that box , " says lie. "Best
thing I ever put the mail into. This
mere wooden thing with a slide is a pesky
bother."
"Law me," says I, "if I'd knowed you
wanted it, you should have had it. I didn't
think you had any plan in it. Jest stick
'em anywhere, I thought you would. I'll
empty the box ; I've got • one that'll do.
And I'm glad you spoke before I filled it
up."
So with that I spread a " big - paper- on
the counter, and emptied oat the sugar.
It had packed a little, and came oat in
a sort of cake. There it laid, white and
shiny, and on top of it t whiter and shini
er, laid a litter—a letter with a ship mark
upon it; and this superscription :
Miss 3.lMy More, Anchor Port, Maine, United
States of Asnsrica.
Three months ago—poor stupid !—I
had emptied my best coffee crushed in up;
ou it, and there it was.
Three-months ago she bad come (Io ta.
to me and asked for a letter, - aud , I'd'
thought her half crass; and I'd have giv
en more money than there was in the till,
to have dared to teat that letter open on
the spot and read it, though knew the
hand was Will Masset's.
"This can't wait," says I.
"No," says Job, - "it can't, with that
;wedding coming off to-morrow."
Then I stopped and thought, let it lie
until it is called .for, and . she'll be Mrs.
.Captain Kincaid, with herr - trilki and her
ivelvets, and her tine-boas° and' her car
4iage, all the same. This comes - from .a
shipwrecked sailor, poorer now than
when ho went away: ,
• "I'erhapard better. wait until the wed
ding is over, Job," said I.
And iny old man came across the room
and put his aboritudwaist. - •
'.'Nancy," says be, "you and I was young
folks once. rnsed •to - think something
Wei better than matey. and fate doings
then. And though we old folks may get
a little hard—though to be up in the
World seems so much,
- and all that old
1 sweetness so silly, why, it will come back
sometimes. - You remember bow ho kiss
ed her under the sycamore; and—Nancy,
we couldn't wait until after. the wedding,
either of !us."
I pat 617 arms about Job's necki, and
I kivvAil hen;
and 'that , I 'got.' my; Sun
bonnet andtad over to,2llra. north: •
Captain,Kinemd, was. there,.. ,I stood
at the dOor -with letter behind my
r"Won'tioulialk in ?" said Mrs; More.
"I—l haven't time," said only
in errand. It's a little singular., 3iilly,
there's
.'"3l3r letter! my letter!" , erica 31iIly.
"It has come at• last I"
How she knew it, Hearin knows. She
hadn't s glimpse of it.
It.was the old sailor's story.; u ship•
wreck, a deserted island, wretched
months spent , in hoping for incier, and
a sail at last. He would bo" home in
three months. .
"Three months!" said Ifilly.'"Oh, how
cap I wait."
• .
And then says I: -
lly, forgive a poor old stvidd goOse.
That letterhas been lying under my best
eoffe erushedn-thiee months and a day.
And there's a vessel in the oiling bow."
So it was Will, after all; and. Job andl
went to the wedding •with happy hearts.
And no need to pity Capt. 'Kincaid either
for he married Fanny More before the
year was over.'

A Funny Mistake.
The Brussels "Echo do Parliament"
tells a, pleasant story of an Englishman
and his wifJ, who, not knowinga word of
German, but being able to express them
selves well in French, resolved to visit
Berlin and Dresden. At Berlin they have
been rezomtnended to a hotel," whither
they were.nding in a hack, when . all at
once the lady espied an imposing edifice,
upon which were inscribed in large letters.
the words "Rotel RaclzievilL" She cried
out, "There is a beautiful hotel, and the
situation is splendid." "Suppose we go
there ?" suggested the husband. "Al
right." It was done as soon - as said. The
driver was stopped.. There were several
ladies about the hotel, but none of them
spoke either English o• - • French. &ow
ever, the servants were made to rifider
stand by gestures that they were to Jake
iu the luggage, and the travelers were
ceremoniously conducted into an apart
ment. The lady asked by signs for a
sleeping room, to which she was led, and
ou her return said to her husband: "I
never saw in all my life a hotel so admira
bly furnished. Come and see the cham
ber and sleeping room r navinedressed
our English folk lunched and announced
to the servant that they woitld dine at
five. Theywent to walk. On their re
turn a gentleman of distinguished ap
pearance entered their room, saluted them,
and said something in German which
they did not undersdind. The English
man thinking him a little familiar, replied
carelessly. in English, "Good morning.
How do you do ?" And the stranger
withdrew. A delicious dinner was served.
When the servant had gone, "My dear,"
said the gentleman to his this is
excellent. This, hotel is evidently: first
class. nut it must - be yeryrdeit, and as a
matter of prudence it will be well to ask
for the bill to-morrow morning." But be
neglected to do so, and two days more
passed like the first. At last the bill was
asked for, but it was - not brought. "I am
beginning to be a little
: uneasy, my dear,"
said the husband. "Surely no one could
be better cared for than we are here, but
I am persuaded the charges will be fright:
ful." At that moment the gentleman of
distinguished appearance entered, and the
following dialogue took plaue:
The Stranger. "I am Prince Eadzie
vill."
The Englishman (rising and bringinga
chair.)
"To what may I attribute the honor of
this visit?"
The Prince. "You have evidently talc
on'ihis house for a public hotel." •
The Englishman. "Certainly."
The Prince. "Well, thii is my prifate
house, my hotel." •
The Englishman was so astounded that
he could make no reply, and could not
explain the mistake of his wife; who, in
the greatest consternation, began to tell
the Prince in English that the , wool "ho
tel" over the door had caused her error.
The Prince, who saw their confusion, po
litely expressed his satisfaction at -having
given hospitality to English .people, and
begged them to remain a few days longer
that he might enjoy, their society. Of
course the invitation was politely dean
! ed. The Englishman succeeded in mak
ing the servants accept a few presents, and
the Prince insisted upon accompanying
them to a rear "hotel' in his own carnage:
Prince Radzievill is the Russian Embas-
Ender at Berlin.

• An Incident. .
A gentleman who came np the Hudson
on the steamer, tells this story : "I notic
ed," he said, "a serious looking man, who
looked as if he might have been ,a book
keeper. Theman - seemed to be caring for
u crying baby, and was do'ing everything
be could to still its Sobs. As the 'child
became restless in the berth the gentle
man took it in his arms and carried it to
and and fro in the cabin. The sobs of
the child irritated-a rich man, • who was
trying to read, until ho blurted out loud
enough for the father to hear. !What does
he want to disturb the whole cabin with
that d— baby for ?"fho man only nes
tled the baby-more quietly in his arms
without saying a word. baby
sobbed.apin. "Where is the confounded
mother that, she don't stop. its noise?"
continued the profane grumbler. At this
the father came rip to the man and said:,
"I am'borry disturb you, sir, but my.
dear baby's mother is in her •colliri -down
in the baggage -room ! I'm taking her
back to Albany whore we toed to live:
The hard hearted man,. says my friend,
buried his face in Ehaille, but in a mo
ment, wilted by the terrible rebuke, he
was by 'the side of the grief-strieken fath
er. They were both tending the-baby.”-
Thiers speaking of the dangers
which threaten France said :• "There arc
three dangers, and three only;--mdicUlism i
Bonapartism, and my death. The . first I
do not think very menacing; the second
requires to bo watched over carefully; and
as for the third, there is no . qoestion of it."
