A NEW POEM BY BRYANT.
Mr. Bryant in his old age has given the pub
lie, through the February number of the forth
tamillig Atlantic Monthly, a new and a striking
poem. It may be accepted as the poetical em
bodiment of his views and feelings now At the
age of eighty, when he is looking toward the
sunset of life. In the same magazine there al
so appears a new and characteristic Italy-tint
ed:poem by Longfellow, who now lies ill at his
home in Cambridge, but we prefer to quote Mr.
Bryant's :

THE TWO TRAVELERS
'Twas evening, and before my eyes
There lay a landscape gray and dim;
Fields faintly seen and twilight stars
And clouds that hid the horizon's brim
I saw—or was it that I dreamed I
A waking dream ?—I cannot say ;
For every shape as real seemed
As those that meet my eye, today
Through leafless shrubs the cold wind hissed;
The air was thick with tailing snow ;
And onward, through the trozen mist,
I saw a weary traveler go
Driven o'er that landscape bare and bleak,
Before. the whirling gusts of air,
The snow flakes smote hts withered cheek,
And gathered on his silver hair.
Yet on he fared through blinding snlws
And murmuring to himself he said
"The night is near, the darkness grows,
And higher rise the drifts I tread.
"Deep, deep each autumn flower they hide;
Each tun of green they whelm from sight ;
And they who Journeyed by my aide
Are lost in the surrounding night.
"1 loved them oh, no words can tell
The love thitt to my friends I bore ;
We parted with the sad farewell
Of those who part to meet no more
And I whose tam this bitter wind
And o'er the snowy Ittllocks creep
!lust end my journey soon and find
A frosty conch, a frozen sleep."
As thus he spoke, a thrill of pain
Shot to my heal t ; I aimed my eyes
And when 1 opened them again
1 started with a glad surprise.
'Twas evening still, and in the west
A flush of glowing crimson lay,
I saw the morrow there, and bleat
That promise of a glorious day
The waters in their glassy sleep,
Shone with the hues that tinged the sky,
And rugged cliff and barren steep
Glotmed with a brightness from on high.
Ind one who was there whose Journey lay
Into the slowly gathering night
A ith steady step he held his way
O'er shadowy vale and gleaming height
I marked his firm though weary tread
The lifted eye and brow serene,
And saw no shade of doubt or dread
Pass o'er that traveler's placid mien
And others came, their journey o'er,
And bade good night with words of cheer;
"To morrow we shall meet once more;
'Tis but the night that parts us here."
"And I," be said, "shall sleep ere long—
These lading gleams will soon be gone—
shall sleep, to rise, refreshed and strorg.
In the bright day that yet will dawn."
I heard ; I watched him as he went,
A lessening form until the light
Of evening from the firmanent
Had passed, and he was lost to sight.
(elected ffitorl
SWAPPING OFF
I was only a boy, but I can't tnrget it,
if I lire nine hundred and ninety-nine
years.
It was before the days of steamships,
thirty years ago, when they were very
scarce at any rate. I was before t',e
mast in the ship Jennie Hartwell, Cap—
tain Harry Quackenbush, running from
Boston to New Orleans.
We had an assorted cargo and a cabin
full of passengers,more than half of them
ladies, and some of them so young and
pretty that I used to look at, them, as I've
looked at pictures many a time, wonder
ing how they could be made so pretty.
We had a full crew, all Yankees, and
as smart as smart could be, and the cap
tain as keen as a new harpoon, too. He
was a young man,- -that was his first voy
age as captain, but both the mates were
old men and had grown gray at sea. But
Captain Harry was no novice. He knew
every rope and timber in the ship, and
how they got there, and could handle her
in a gal. as easy as one of your fast men
can handle a team of horses.
The owner was on board with his fam
ily—his wife and three daughters—one
of them the prettiest in the lot, was the
one the ship was named after ; and more
than once I saw her and the young cap
tain talking with their heads very close
together. But I was , ton young then to
take ally sense out of that.
To shorten in— for I don't like to car
ry useless canvas in a yarn like this—we
made a short run out as far as the Baha
mas, sighting Abaco on the fifth day out.
Then hauling up to the south of Cuba
we ran along smooth and pleasant, till
we were abreast of the Isle of Pines, and
then a calm fell on us and we lay Like
log on the glassy water, without wind
enough to lilt the sails on the main truck.
It was hot, too. Hot enough to stew
the rosin out of the seams, but we got
awnings up and made all as comfortable
as we could. There we lay all of one
night, the next nay, and another night,
and by drift and all I don't believe we
made five miles in all that time. But on
the morning of the second day, when the
sun rose, we saw a schooner in shore of
us, not more than' four or fire miles,
which had found wind enough to get
that close in the night without 'our see
ing her before. •
I si.w Captain' Berry look "at her long
and earnestly' with glass as soon as he
came on, dec)c, and thenl heard him say
in a low tone:to,thefirst xnate
"Toni Barnes go quietly below, and
get every Man oii deck, while I see to the
arms and amunition. We're gtit a fight
'on our hande; Don't alarm the women,
keep nil from them. Don't tell the men
"Stand by the Sight though the /leavens &Sr
yet what they'll knot; soon enough.—
That chap is a pirate. He has crept out
with sweeps in the night, only he sees a
breeze coming, and thinks he can get
alongside without making ns suspect !"
Jumping Moses! How my heart beat !
A pirate ? I reckon l was red in the
face, for the captain saw my look, and he
knew that I heard him.
"Garnet, keep your lips buttoned.—
Don't lisp a word. We've got forty-one
aboard, crew and passengers, well armed,
and we'll beat that chap off if we can't
uutbail him !"
lie spoke so confidentially, that I
cheered up at once, and asked him if I
should bring up the powder for the one
gun, a lone twenty-lour, which we had
carried since the ship was built.
"Yes sir,you shall be powder monkey."
And he looked toward the schooner.
His lips twitched and a sigh broke
from them.
There was a little breeze coming off
from. landward, and we could see the
sails on the schooner till, though we
didn't feel it yet. But we knew it was
coming, and the captain sent men and
boys, too, aloft, to loosen out everything
in the shape of canvas, and we soon had
her under all, from royal down to course,
with starboard studding sails set. ..
' So when the breeze did reach ,us,Rei
felt t t ht once, and got steerage way right
off.
Long 6, , fore this the crew knew what
tine stranger was, for they had been arm
ed, and the gun was got ready. Moreover
tie schooner had crept up within a coo !
pie of miles before we got a start.
She had an immense square sail for
ward,boomed out, and aflying topsail aloft
and her tnws looked as sharp as a wedge.
As the breeze freshened, I began _to
think we would get away from her; arid
so thought the captain, I think, for, his
eyes Inked bright and cheerful, but all
at once I saw a ring of smoke over her
bows. and the next second a shot came
like a shriek over our heads, making a
clean hole thro' our three topsails,without
Meting anything else.
There was no use in mincing matters
now. We knew it was fight. $o we
dragged our twenty-four pounder aft and
double-shorted it, while we cut away a
part of the after rail that was in the way
of the muzzle.
By this time ail the ladies knew the
danger. and sonic of them fainted, while
others prayed. But I hadn't time to no
tice much, only the captain made there a
hit of a speech,and told them to stay be—
low, while ht- put arms in the hands of
the men passengers, and told then the
ship might sink, but she should never-be
given up to a pirate.
One passenger, an old Jew, who bud a
lot of stuff on board, wanted him to give
up, so that their lives would be spared,
but he got one word and a look from the
captain, and he shrunk almost into' the
deck, both set-re so fierce. Re didn't take
ally more, hut went below and hid.
A second shot from the schooner tote
through our sails before we were rat
with the long gun, and toen we let her
know what we could do.
We sent two twenty-four pound bulls
nght through her big foresule, for aSe
was within a mile of us now.
Then, as of a sudden, she round:d
broad side to, showing a deck full of min
'owl the come—oh. it was awful—a shisv
er of iron shot from a full broadsideof
guns.
It cot away stays and braces, tore tiro'
our canvas, let the mizzen topsail dovn
by the run,cutting the halyard just abcre
the slings, and killed the man at U?
wheel, and two more.
Captain Harry himself, sprang to tle
wheel to keep the ship from brooding
to. for the breeze was now fresh'; and le
shouted to the gunners to double—shit
our gun again and let the pirate have t,
while he held the ship on her course.
Thvy did let her have it, and t saw,a
row of men go down as the shot, Outwit
ver her deck from our gun ; but behre
another minute she gave us nuttier ta—
ritile broadside, and I thought Captsin
Harry was hurt, for be turned as pale as
if death was at his heart.
But it wasn't him ; it was what he sow

'TWAS TILE WIND
Sitting by the fire waiting for the new
year to come in, golden—haired Girtrude
crouched on the hearth-rug. roasting her
self in' the blaze, her head pillowe'l in the
lap of her aunt Jane. She is a saucy
young lady of 18, this Girtrude. with a
short upper lip used to scornful curling ;
but she is charming enough when she
smiles. Aunt Jane is 35, with the pen—
sive, softened face we used to admire in
our youth Aunt Polly—a Ps; years older
—sits on the further side ; and in the
old leather covered arm chair is Uncle
Ned, his brown meerschaum pipe in his
mouth in a sort of haze of tobacco and
meditation. Uncle Ned is not profound
ly impressed, possibly, with the solemnity
of the ocasion. Be is used to sitting up
till midnight, and a good deal later, and
does not trouble himself much about the
past, except, in the geologic or historic
'aspects. But Aunt Jane is a sensitive
gifted creature, profoundly sympathetic,
with a dark, mobile face, and deep,
luminous eyes. She is in the habit of
holdinr , forth on matters connected with
lore and' the relationship of the sexes with
great fervor. On these occasions Girtrude
generallyy makes profound gesTures, as
though she were beating the big drum ;
but Aunt Jane goes on with glistening
eyes, heedless of the irreverence of the
junior.
Gerty, however, is rather silent and
solemn to right. Perhaps it is that the
thought that the ruthless flight of time
had come to her, or haply she is soberud
by the reflex tion that she is still unafti—
tweed at the end of her first year in so—
ciety.
It is a long, irregular, many-colored
room, in an old fashion country house.—
At one end is a window that looks upon
a lawn and a large garden. In the fur—
ther angle there is a door, letting in a
volume or lold air and the sound of dis—
tant church bells,
"Bother the girl !" growls uncle Ned,
shivering. "Gerty shut that door."
Gertrude let go the handle of the door;
a gust of 6 ind caught tt and slammed It
to with a bard hang.
Aunt June jumps and turns a little
pale, Polly, too, is startled, and looks
significantly at her sister.
"Do you remember, Jane ?" she asked.
Aunt Jan a sighed sotti i . -An
she said.
"Mysteries," cried Girtrude, sinking
down into ber place again. "What do
von remember, Aunt Jane ? Come tell
me."
"It'e a very old . atory, dear."
"All the better: for that; let us hear it.
But first tell me what reminded you of
it."
"It was the wind." . 1
"OL, tell it Jane, it will be a lesson for
these young people," cried Polly.
"A lesson they don't acquire." said
Aunt Jane, "but as you'll tell it Polly, if
I don't. and as I couldn't bear to hear
you tell it,— Well : •
"It was eighteen or twenty years ago,
Gerty, and your grandfather was alive
then. He was a physician, and we lived
in a big house in tne Clapham road.—
There was a nice garden about it, and
dose adjoining was another large house
whose grounds were divided . from ours
by a high wall. It was an old fashioned
house—your grand rather's—with a wide
passage right through it, and a glass door
leading out into' the garden directly op-
Oahe the hall door. In the other house
lived au Indian nabob, a hot tempered,
fiery man, but he had a son Benjamin,
who was very nice—or at least I thought
so then. Pappa attended on this nabob,
and by degrees we became quite intimate
with the family ; not with him for lie
would never go oat, but with the sons,
and especially Ben,who was the youngest,
and only a year older than I.
"Well, we grew up together, girls and
boys, and somehow Ben and I were
thrown together ; and he seemed to take
a fancy to me."
"Ah, you were very fond of him; don't
tell me,". cried Polly.
"Well, perhaps I was," said Aunt Jane,
with another sigh. "'t all events, this
went on for three years, and Ben had
never said anything to me—not anything
in particular, you know."
"Three years,! cried Gerty, in amaze
ment. , "Fancy! and never propose.—
Goodness me I I'd have brought him to
book in . three months."
• "Ah, we were very differently Lrought

quite a baby in suck matters,a very child,

to think of if,
"But one New Years Eve—yes it was
just eighteen years ago—Ben came and
spent the day. And we bad a little car,
pet dance, and Ben danced with me ever
so many times, and we danced the new
year in together ; and when the time
came for him to go I went to the door

I had opened the door, and he had just

somebody at that moment opened the
glass door at the other end of the passage
and ti_gust of wind roared in and slam—

I never saw Ben again, not for years."
"Oh, aunt," cried Gerty, "why didn't
you run after him ? I would."
"Ah, my dear,' interposed Aunt Polly
"we were very differently brought up."
"But I'd have opened the door and
shouted to him."
"Well," said Aunt Jane, blushing
slightly,"l did open the door after a while
but he WAS gone ; and I called out very
gently—Ben ! Ben ! But he never heard
me. And he went ..int to India soon after.
And some year after—nine or ten—l
was walking in the garden all alone, and
I heard somebody talking in the nabob's
grounds. 1 knew the voice in a moment
it was Ben's. I ran up stairs, to the very
topmost room, where there was a window
from which you could see into the na—
bob's grounds. And there was Ben, sure
enough —a hale yellow, tat man, with a
sandy beard and a white hat. He was
quarreling with a dark woman,a head tal

there was a hideous ayah standing by

Aunt Jane, biting her lip.
"Fur all that, iou neNer forgot him,

PATIENCE.
SY PHIEBE CAGY. '
•
Why are we so impatient of delay,
Longing forever for the time to be?
For thus we live to-morrow in to.day,
Yea, sao tomorrow we mapnever see
We are too hasty; are not reconciled
To let kind nature do her work alone ;
We plant our seed, and like a foolish child
We dig It up to see If it has grown.
Tho good that is to be we covet now—
Wo cannot watt-for the appointed hoar ;
Before the fruit Is ripe, we shake, the bough,
And seize the bud that folds away the
flower.
When midnight darkness reigns we do not
see
That the sad night is mother of the morn ;
We 'cannot think our owo sharp agony '
May be the birth•pang of a joy unborn.
Into the dust we see our idols cast,
And cry that death bas triumphed, life 'is
We do tot trust the promise, thatihe last
Of all our enemies shall be destroyed!
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints,
And heart and flesh grow weary at the
last ;
Our feet would walk the city of the saints,
Even before the silent gate is passed. .
Teach us to wait until Thou shalt appear—
' To know that all Thy ways and times are
jest;
Thou seest that we do believe, and fear,
Lord, make us'also to believe and trust!
UNDER THE DAISIES.
It is strange what a deal of trouble we take,
What a sacrifice most of us willingly make,
How the lips will smile though' the heart
may ache,
And we bend to the ways of the world for
the sake
01 its poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitiless flow
That our liveS are wasted before we know
What work to finish before we go
To our long rest under the daisits.
And too often we fail in a useless fight,
For wrong is so much in the place of right,
And the end is so far beyond our sight,
'Tis as when one starts on a chase by night,
An unknown shade pursuing.
Even so do we see, when our race is rou,
That of all we have striven for little is- won
And of all the work our strength has done,
How little was worth the doing.
So most of us travel with very poor speed,
Failing in thought where we conquer in deed
Least brave in I he hour of greatest need,
And making a riddle thbt few may read,
Of our life's Intricate mazes,
Such a labyrinth of right and wrong,
t 8 it strange that a heart once brave and
strong
Should Niter ut, last, and most earnestly long
Fora calm sleep under the daisies '?
But if one poor troubled beim can say,
"His kindness softened my life's rough way,"
And the tears fall over our lifeless clay,
We shall stand up in heaven in' brighter ar
ray
Than if all earth rang with our praises.
Far the good we have done shall neyer fade,
Though the tkurk be wrought and the wages
And the wearied trarne or the laborer laid
All peacefully under the daisies..

THE SEWING-MACHINE
The sewing -machine is an American inven
tion of the last forty years. As was 'previously
remarked of the reapers, the European m
aca w . at musing maiminro
hand method served to exhibit the difficulty of
the problem, but in no important degree to
solve It. The shoe sewing machine of Thomas
Saint, patented in England in 1790. had -a sin
gle thread, which was driven bye foiled need
le through a hole previously punched by an
awl, and was then caught by a loaner which
held the loop so, that it was entered by the
needle and thread in their next deseent;enaking
ing a ebrochet stitch: The feed and th'e stich
lightning movements'Were automatic.
The sewing•machine of Thimonnier, of Paris,

Eighty of these machines, made of, world, were
destroyed by a mob, which regarded them as
an invention of 'the enemy. They were after

ORIciLN--OF FAMILY NAMES.
Existing names ate of different kinds and or
igin. Some &Agnate a trade, as Tailor, Smith
Shoemaker (in German, Shuster), Mason, Bak
er, Carpenter, Cooper, Gardner, Carter, Cart
wright, Carver, Cook, Bleecker, Miller, Fouler,
Foster, Horseman, Adler, Hunter, Fisher, Mer
chant (in German, Kauffner ; in Dutch, Koop
man). Tyler, Washman, Singer,Plumber, Pope,
Wheeler, Stewart, Bishop, Brazier, Sinker, Bar
ber, Boiler, Oysterman, Sheriff, Butler, etc., and
very naturally when, by civilized organizatlon
of society, it was found necessary to accept fix
ed names for families and their deicendants,
very often the name of the - trade pursued by
the bead of the family was accepted by the
children, and thus went down 4 to" all the de
scendants. In other cases, and this was the
oldest custom, the sons added to their father's
baptismal name the termination of son, so
when the father's baptismal name was, for in
stance, Jacob (and we know that the patriarchs
had only one single name,) the son called him
self Jacobson, and if his baptismal name was
John, he was called John Jacobson, his son
William would be called William Johnson, his
son again, say Peter, was called Peter William
son, and so on. Ancient records prove that
such was'the custom in Europe until laws were
established requiring a pent:lancet uniformity
in the family names This was especially found
necessary for the enforcement of the laws on
the inheritance of property; hence the names
Dickson. Thompson, Levyson, Harrison, etc.—
Other names are evidently derived from the
nationality of one of the ancestors ; for in
stance, we find the family names of Dist, Ger
man, Dutch, French, English, etc., or after the
cities from whence they perhaps came, as Paris
London, 'Madras, Berliner, York, etc. Other
names again are evidently derived from a nick
name, especially those meaning an animal, as
Bull, Bear, Fox, Wolf, Ox, Lion, Hare, Pigeon,
Sparrow, Colt, Bird, Stork, Swim, Fish, Duck,
Pike, Salmon, etc. ; or after a color, as Black,
White, Blue, Green, Brown, etc.; also after
some quality, as Small, Short, Long, Sweet,
Low, etc. But the most curious of names are
those derived from objects, as Brush, Bell, Gun,
A nker, etc ; or a material, as Water, Brandy,
Wine,•Coffee, Zinc, Sliver, Gold, Stone, Wood,
and even objects of clothing, as Shirt, Cost,
Vest, Stocking; or a part of the body, as Leg,
Arm,.Trunk, Head, Beard, Whiskers, etc. All
these names are found in the directories of our
large cities, and some names are even taken
East, South, and West; Spring, Slimmer, Fait;
and Winter; Moon, Bun, Star, Hain, Snow,
Vmd, Blow; and finally we find Angel; Devil
gas, Hell, and Damn.—Erehange.
