Gav guests came crowding to my door, Bright diamonds flashed and jewels ejtone— And on the carpet's velvet floor 1 watched the slippered feet, and saw The mazy dance go on, Upon my table viands stood, And costly wines in goblets rare; Love sent to blushing cheeks a flood From heating hearts of crimson blood Of dallying beauty there. The lightsome jest, the honied tale From lip to lip went heedless by; Brighter than Tempe's sunny vale, Whose myriad roses scent the gale, My mile lured the eye. Alas! the perfumes all are fled, The voice of music now has gnne-- The twinkling feet have quickly sped, The flowers scentless lie and dead, And 1 am lett alone.

MISL:ELLANEOUS READING A DUEL AT SEA -0- It :.as a fearful night at sea, and the wild winds howled io fury, and the matt raves tUalled I IleFaSelveS 111L0 A umaltn MIS as if the tempest and me ocean were rivals, each striving to prove tin greater des:ruci ion. Yet termigh the long, anxious hours of the stormy uight the brave schooner, Idle Waif nobly breasted the fury of the gale, her olliceis hoping against lope almost, IlAt she would be able Co survive the ter rible dangers through which she was struggling. , month before, she had Failed upon her voyage to New York from o South American pomand among her passengers was her owner, Robert Graham, of the wealthy tirm of Graham & Co., accompa wed by his wife and daughter Corinne, u lovely maiden of eighteen, accomplished. pure in thought, and as ionoceut as a child. Mr. and Mrs. Graham idolized their only child, and when the father found that be had to visit South America on business fur the firm, Corinne at one. begged to accompany him, and, yielding to her entreaty.a few days after found the mother and daughter comfortably "at home - in the commodious cabin of the Idle Waif. a large three-masted Bch.° ,er, ably commanded and with an efficient crew. The captain of the Idle Waif was a man of thirty-fire, and of a stern nature. He had a man of war manner with hie crew, which he had acquired when en of Beer in the English navy, from which, it had been Paid, be was dismissed in dis grace, allowing a slaver to escape, when it was certain, had he not been bribed, he could have captured the craft trading iri human flesh. Atanv rate. he was an able command er. and the five years he had been in the service of Graham & Co., Captain Hart Woodruff had proved himself most trust worthy in every respect. The first mate of the Idle Waif was a young man of twenty-five, who had be come an officer of the schooner while she was in South America, in place of the mate, who had resigned to accept the cap taincy of a vessel offered him. Gervaise Wilde had offered to take the place of the resigned oflicer.but he frank ly told Mr. Graham he could offer no tea timonials as to his character and ability ; that he was an American a Marvlander —had been for seven years an officer in the United States Navy, from which he had resigned in a foreign pot t, for reasons he did not care to mention. Mr. Graham gazed into the strangely handsdne face of the man before him, beheld the dark, fearful eyes for a mo ment, and then glancing at the slight but elegant figure, replied: "1 will trust you,Mr. Wilde. Go aboard the schooner as soon as povaible." The Idle Wait sailed upon her home ward bound voyage, and it was evident to all 013, board that no better seaman than Gervaise Wilde ever trod a vessel's deck ; and yet between him and the captain there was a certain restraint From the first of the home trip Hart Woodruff had treated his first officer with an overbear. ing manner noticeable to all, and which the mate received with cold and indiffer ent politeness. Corinne Graham narrowly watched the two officers. and her woman's eye soon read the secret cause df the captain's feel ing towards his mate. It was jealousy; for Hart Woodruff had from the first loy, ed the maiden, and seeing that ehe scoop. MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1874. ted the polite and gentlemanly attentions of Gervais° \Vilde with a feeli LI of p!eaF, ure, he determined to rid h aiself of ° man he believed his rival. On sailed the noble vessel until, when Dearing the waters of the gulf, a terrible storm burst upon her, and increasing- to ward night, threatened her with destruc tion. Bravely did the crew stand at their posts, and twice during that long night did Gervaise Wilde ascend the rigging. when brave hearts hesitated, and securely furl some sail that the wind had torn from its fastenings. Mr. Graham, with his wife and Corin: ue, had ascended to the deck, and were group•d together anxiously watching the black storm and raging ocean, while at the same time they could but admire the cool manlier of Gervuise, added to his daring manner of springing at once to every post of danger, and the comparison drawn between the captain and his mate redounded to the hitter's credit. All that human skill and courage could do to save the schooner proved useless. for she was dismasted, became a wreck, and leaking in many places, it was found teat she could no longer hold out against the storm, which, though abating at day light, was still raging "Ttere is but one course, Mr Graham. The boats, excepting one, are washed away, the schooner can remain only a few hours afloat, so I will at once set about ouilding a raft which can hold all of us," said Gervaise turning to Mr. Graham. "Wear. all is your hands,str; but what says the captain ?" "I say," and Hart Woodruff stepped forward, "the mate is mistaken ; the schooner will afloat for many days. And yet I would not expose Mrs. and Miss Graham to tisk ; so I prop .se that you, sir, with your wile and daughter, accom panied lw myself and four of the crew, take the - life boat. In two days. at far thest. we can reach some of the Crribean Islands. While Me. Wilde, with the re mainder of the crew, can remain with the vessel, which, under jury mast, can be run into the nearest port." "A good pion, perhaps. captain, but as I agree with Wilde regarding the inatoli ty of the schooner to keep afloat mar y hours, I think we had better tiust to the raft." A frown passed over the captain's brow, which was not unnoticed, at Mr. Graham's words, but he added : "Toe schooner will not sink, sir; her pumps will keep it up." "Captain I do not wish to shrink from .tny duty devolved on me, so I will abide by the decision of the men. Call them and ask them if this vessel can be kept above water for half a day," said Ger raise. "Here, mv men," culled out Mr. Gra ham, "come hither a moment, and ;ire CIF yonr °run ion. How long can we keep our heads auove water by remaining on tins vessel "A few hours, s;r. perhaps half a day." rejoined the men, and, as if satisfied with their an swet, Mr. Gramm said: coin menee the raft at once; and captain, please see that our baggage and all our valuables are brou,„, ,, h Con deck, sufficient provisions to last us two weeks." Six hours atter a large and stout raft had been built, which was capable of sus taining three limes the number on the ichooner, and upon it Gervaise bad se curtly hound the caboose, to serve as Apartments for the ladies, and otherwise protect the centre of the raft in such a way as to keep the baggage and provisions secure. All Irving in readiness, Mr. and Mrs. Graham, with C.irinne, got oo board.and were followed by the captain, mate and crew, and the bnlwarhe antidship having been cut away, thee awaited the coming of a wave to wash them off the schooner which wus rapidly sinking to a watery grave. Soon it came—a huge, foam-capped mountain of water, and the raft was lift ed on ire shoulders and borne off upon the ocean, while the ill-fitted schooner was tinned by the same large wave, never more to reappear. Eight days the huge raft drifted about on the mighty deep, and to succor com ing, the larger part of the crew arose in mutiny, and, seizing the life boat which bad been b-ought along. took the greater portion of toe provisions and deserted then-companions in distress; but their desertion was not a bloodless one, for three of their number fell dead beneath the unerring aim of Gervaise Wilde's pis tol. for he stoutly resisted them to the lavt. Five more dace passed, and then star cation stared the shipwrecked crew in the fare, fur the provisions and water left them by the deserters had all been con sumed. Then it was that the captain, Hart Woodruff, and the remaining four men of the crew became troublesome, and seeing hat Gervaise alone could be trusted, Mr. Graham, with his wife and danghter,plac ed their only hope in him ; and his noble conduct won their admiration and Corin no's love. Another (lay passed, and night settled again npon the ocean, but a full moon rising made the sea silvery with its light. Stuldeuly Hart Woodruff started up from forward on the raft, and. accompan ied by fonr seamen, came aft toward Ger vais, Wilde, who, seeing their hostile ad vane,. wheeled and said sternly : "Back! back, I say! all of you, or I'll send a bullet into your midst." The men hesitated, and Hart Woodruff exclaimed ; "Gervatse Wilde, you are the one I seek. You have stolen from me the love of that girl, and I intend to slay you ; and your vile flesh shall he our food until I succor shall reach us. We are starving, and yet I would enjoy along with . your bodyia love's feast, for Corinne Graham is mine, mite. mine." A thrill of horror ran through those who heard him, but the mate's firm eye never Bailed, and there was no tremor in his voice as he replied: "Could the sacrifice of myself , save Miss Graham and her parente, it would be freely. given; but it cannot,and, if you advance npon me. your life shall pay the forfeit You tad I, Captain Woodrag Devoted to the Interests of onr Town and County. fear, cannot live together upon• this raft, so let there not be unnecessary bloodshed. Yon are armed ; the moon is bright; so take your stand yonder on one side of the raft, while I stand here. Let Mr. Graham give the word, and then let the best man win." "Ha, ha, ha! gladly I accept," laughed Hart Woodruff, in a tone that made his nearers feel that his reason had left him, and in vain did Mr. Graham, Mrs. Gra ham and Corinne plead with Gervaiie not to expose his I fe thus, but he was deter mined, saying: "It is the i nly course, sir. The men are wrought up by hunger to apitch that makes them ready for bloodshed, and as the captain is armed we would have no rest from him ; so give the word, please." "But you may be slain. Gervaise," and Corinne turned her loving gaze full upon the young man, whose face brightened as he said: "Never fear; my aim is only..foo true. Captain are you ready? Mr. Graben:64lre the word, please." The raft rolled lazily upon the ocean, and the moon shone brightly down upon the strange scene, with Mr. Graham and Corinne crouching down in the window of the caboose by which Mr. Graham stood; while the four seamen. eagerly ex pectant, were g rouped together forward. watching withstariug eves. their captain and his mate,as they stood but twelve feet apart, calmly awaiting the word to fire— words that most be the death knell of one of them, perhaps both. "Are vou both ready?" suddenly asked Mr. Graham. "Yes," tstme the replies. "Fire!" and with the words the pistols flashed, and with a shriek hardly human, Hart IVondriiff fell back into the ocean, which became his grave. "Mr. Wilde, are you hurt ?" exclaimed Mr Graham, as lie can forward. "Not at all. Men, forward there and remember, if one of you comes aft I will shoot I.im down like a dog." "Aye, aye, sir," answered the men,thor ()ugh ly cowed, and then one of them sud denly cried out: !" With a glad err, all on the raft greeted the appearance of a large steamer coming directly toward them, and upon which they soon were welcomed by the captain anti passengers. A week more ai.d the shipwrecked par ty land. d in New York, and then Ger vaise Wilue became the guest of the Gra barns —ave, more. he soon after led to the altar the lovely bile and heiress, Corinne Graham. fot he proved to the old mer chant that his reason for resigning from the navy was a disagreement with his commanding officer, for which his good sense afterwards sbow-d him he was to blame. WHAT A ATRANGE NAME -o "Jessie, my dear, read the deaths for me. It's such a dark morning. I • don't seem able to see the tine print," said old Mrs. Martin to her granddaughter. "I guess it is a dark day." answered Jessie pettishly. "It's too had for the rain to come to.day when we were going to have a game of croquet in the park, with the Simonsons." • ••We must never fina fault with the weather, my child. Remember who sends the rain, and think of the good it does to the country. Think of all the mills which need water to work their machin ery,and the many unimihmetio depend on the rain to fill the little streams where they drink. Indeed, we e 'outdo% have water enough to supply our own wants. only the rain falls so aimndantly. Any how, what are our little amusements com pared with the interests of the great re gion on which the min fulls?" "I didn't think of that, grandma. Give me the paper, and let me read for you..-- try and forget my disappointment." I . llat's a good, sensible girl. I'll give you a maxim that will always help you : •Make the best of Now, my dear, just read the deaths over." Jessie read aloud till near tie end of the column, when she was struck by the following : "On Monday, at the residence of her'son, Hugh Emerson, Deliverance Emerson, aged sisty." "Why, grandma, what a strange name! Verato. e, 1 wonder what the folks ca cti her for short—Del, Liver, or Ailey r' exclaimed Jesie. laughing. _ . "Hush, child ! R.ad that again. Is Deliverance dead ? Why. she was a little baby when I was engaged to your grand father. llead that again." Jestie 'cad the notice again, and then said: "Then you knew her grandma?" "Knew her child! I should think I did knoW her. Dear me, to think that the hahe I held iu my arms is gone before '•1'ell me about her, grandma. Why did her father aid mother give her suet) a name ?" It's quite a story, child." 'Well, tell it to me please, grandma.— You know I love to hear you tell of when you were young, and it will make up for the game of (Toque. I expected to play this moruiag." "Well. let me think a moment. IL brings back the time when your grand. Gather and I used to stroll by the creek and unfelt the meadows to gather apples. Well, I was about seventeen, when a !am ity named Field, came to settle in our country. They were odd kind of people. didn't go to meeting, and kept somewhat to themselves. We all wondered what they were, and where they cams from ; but they never told us. Well, they had one child, a little baby a few monthsold ; and they were very fond of this baby ; it seemed as if they were arways Paying with the child and talking baby-talk when, any of the neighbors passed that way,— The father painted pictures of the child in various positions, and hung the paint ings up in the sitting-room." "Was Mr. Field a painter f" • "He knew something about it, but couldn't make a living by it, so he took to farming. He didn't do much at that either; only just managed to live, that's . , "Bat what happened to the baby t grand• mar I'm so Impatient to hats." • airwltirtwoomiag . ,to Ono his „ afternoon, Ned Martin and I were near his father's mill, on the Barton river. - lie was tallcipg about the lowness of the wa ter preventing the mills from working.— He said the men of the neighborhood were going to Cut a trench from Long Lake to the little lake from which the Barton River flowed, so that they could get a supply of water to work the mill." "This was in Vermont, grandma,wasn't it ?" said Jessie eagerly. "Yes, in the northern part of Vermont. Well, on the 16th of June, 1810—I re member the date better than if ithappen ed last year—the men were cutting the trench, when, on a sudden, Long Lake burst its borders and poured down the hill between the two. What a fearful noise the torrent made as it rushed along. We beard the noise and saw the furious stream, but we were not near enough to be in danger of our lives. The torrent rushed across the county liftsen miles, to Like Memphremagog, carrying with it rocks, hills, forests, houses, mills, and cattle. • When the water had subsided, it was found that no lives were lost, except the Fields' little baby. Their house was swept away with the baby in it. Mr. Field was out in the woods at the time, and Mrs. Field had left the house for a few minutes, to get something out of the gar den. Of course every one gave the baby up, and Mr. and Mrs. Field set off towards Lake Mempbremagog to seek for the body. boon after they left, Ned was out in the boat, when he saw the ruins of a house a little in from the course of the torrent. He dosen't know why he was led to go .nd see what was among the ruins,but he looked under the planks,and saw a child nearly famished, but' still breathing. He didn't know the child,but supposed it to be the one the Fields had lamented so bitterly. Our honse was nearer than his, so he brought the; baby to me, and mother warmed and fed the little creature carefully, till she hecinns quite recovered. I carried the helpless thing about, and petted it for several weeks till I .rew very fond of it." didn l ' t the father and mother learn that the baby was saved ?" "Not for two—yes three months. They didn't come back, and though several of the neighbors tried to find them, th.y did not succeed. The reason was, Mr. and Mrs. Field both took a fever from being out in the wet looking for their baby,and went to a cousin's house near the Canada border." "What a pity they didn't know 1" "Yes, but I suppose there was a pur pose in it all. Well, in September, Mr. Field came back to sell his farm. As soon as jour grandfather saw him,be told all the good news, and led the astonished father to our house, where I put baby in! to his arms. "Before Thanksgiving day came round, the neighbors had rebuilt 3lr. Field's house. and furn kited it. On Thanksgiv ing day the Fields moved in with grate. ful hearts. •"We'll call the little one Deliverance,' Mr. Field said to Ned and me when we were bidding him goodbye, 'for she has been delivered from great danger, and her loss and restoration have led me from doubt into the paths of faith and hope.'" Anecdote of Webster. _o— When Daniel Webster had reached the very top-most height of his fame, alter his great speech in reply to Cot. Havne of South Curlolina—the speech commonly known as his "Constitutional Sfeech"— he paid a visit to his old borne in New Hampshire, the neighborhood of his boy ish days and his first aspirations and strugglings. A well known citizen was his traveling companion. After going up the rough mountain roads for a goon long while, Webster pointed out the near ness of the old parental roof4ree.— "There," said lie, "is neighbor"—Jones, we will call him— 'there's our old neigh bor Jones. ill stop and talk with him, and see if he knows me." So Mr. Web ster got out of the wagon and walked on ahead. Soon he met the old man Jones, and "passed the time of day," as thev.say in good, rural New Englund. Webster walk• d lazily, loiteringly along the road, and finally, turning, said to the seamed, gnarled, rugged old farmer: "Wasp t there a family named Webster once living near you ? I knew something of a family of that name said to live in these parts." "Why, yes," said Jones. "Webster. yes, our old neighbor. He bad two lively boys. Les—see; Zeke, and then there was—what's his name-0, Daniel Web ster." And then Daniel leaned on the 'race engaged in a long talk with the far mer about the Webster family—a talk quite unnecessary to re prod nee het e. The farmer was very enthusiastic about Ezek iel. Ezekiel Webster, it should be remem bered, was a young man of rare promise, of even greater promise titan his famous brother, as we believe the latter admitted iu riper years. He died when but a young man. The farmer could not say too much in praise of Ezekiel, to all or which, of course, Daniel Webster listened with na• bounded satisfaction. But finally the lat ter said, "What became of the other brother—Daniel 1" "0. I don't know," said farmer Jones. "He went away, and I believe is a kind of a lawyer down in Boston." Two Little girls were comparing pro gress in the study of their catechisms.- -I've got to original stn." said one ; "how tar have you gut ?"

I telt it to be my calling to teach; besides there in something so remarkablg romantic and interesting about it, especially the boarding. around, which of course constitutes the most important part of it, as it takes a good share of one's time to go to and from the boarding places. Their issomething so very attractive in the ides of walking a mile or two, after teaching all day l ust for the sake of something to eat and a place to sleep. To be qualified for the position, a person should be gotten up with' unlimited patience, iron constitution, no nerves, no feelings or deli cacy, and with the happy faculty of saying yes to every thing said ; being, good company for all; tending to all the cross babies,. listening to all complaints about neighbors, and their children without ever mentioning a word of it- They must read any amount aloud, especially* when suffering with a severe cold or, an excru ciating headache. If the above requirements are fully met the person may pormildy erijoy teukb lug school and boarding around. But woe:is. he, she, or it, who attempts it, mintas any of these qualifications.

How many scholars had L t ever taught before? did I ever intend to teach again? (This, because /tarry . had called once or twice et the school-house, and they thought it Might mean something.) I)id I like teaching ? wow' homesick ? did lever get homesick t how many sisters had I? I informed them that 1 was the; only daughter. 0 dear simpered IS ' usan,'l could never exist without Hannah to lavish PIS. love upon, but then it is- different with =me; am so affectionate.
