MY CASTLE.
—o—
I built a castle bright and fair,
And hedged it round with flowers;
The fruits of every clime were there,
While perfUme filled the ambient air
Through all its rosy bowers.
1 planted gardens richly filled
With bloosomings on every aide;
itly fields were to their utmost tilled . ,
Fresh vendure bloomed, but where I willed
In all its summer pride.
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.
Alone I walk where many trot:i—
lly castle walls are crumbled quite,
The trees *tang leafless on the sod,
And I am lettralone with God,
And the dews of night.
0 *mull take courage, life is long.
The world is wide, and everywhere
It hears the burden of a song,
The right is mien lost in wrong
By Castles in the Air.
PARTING.
If thou dost bid illy friend farrrell,
But for one night though that Farwell may be,
Pleas thou his palm wi L thine. How canal
thou tell
How far from thee,
Fate or caprice may lead his feet
Ere that to-morrow comes? Men have been
known
, To lightly turn the corner of it street,
And days have grown
To months, and months in laaging years,
Before they looked in loving eyes again
Parting at hest is underlaid with team—
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come be
tween,
Or lime line. disinnt-e.clasp with pressure true
The hand of him who goeth forth, unseen,
Fate goeth too!
Yea, find thou always time to toy
Dome eat nest word between the idle talk!
Lest with thee henceforth, ever. night and day
Regret should walk
- Gat 'try.

MIS as if the tempest and me ocean
were rivals, each striving to prove tin

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

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

"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

"I didn't think of that, grandma. Give

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,

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

"Why, grandma, what a strange name!

"Hush, child ! R.ad that again. Is

Jestie 'cad the notice again, and then
said: "Then you knew her grandma?"

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

"Well. let me think a moment. IL

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

"Was Mr. Field a painter f" •
"He knew something about it, but

either; only just managed to live, that's

"Bat what happened to the baby t grand•

„
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

up, and Mr. and Mrs. Field set off towards

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!

"Before Thanksgiving day came round,
the neighbors had rebuilt 3lr. Field's

•"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
