Her companion was the son 01 a well
to-do farmer. whose idle disposition and
profligate habits, having totally obscured
' uo him whatever favoiable qualities he
might once haNe pussesksed, had complete

AN EVIL DESTINY.
BY B. F. G
"Stand by the Right thnuehle Heavens Ih111"
to view amid the wanderings of the leafy
lane in which had taken place the above
interview,
Hugh Morrison was, as has already
been medtionsd, the son of a thrifty far
mer, who, thinking to do something for
the family honor, had educated hint for a
profession. Hugh chose the law, and af—
:er the appointed time for study mid ex—
pired he settled down in a small country
village, on the seaward side a,f Long Is
land, Where he opened an office, and for
a short time fortune, smiled upon his
labors, and he gave promise to a glowing
career. lint even here, after awhile,Mor
:ison's idle disposition made itself
lest, and besides this drawback to success
he had conceived the idea that lie w,;,s
burn under an evil star, whose
was apparent in the failure of his most
munitions prospects. After several months
of steady application to his duties, it we,
whispered about that Hugh 'Morrison
was getting into dissipated habits. and
oftentimes his office was closed fur days,
and the affai•s of his clients neglected.
while the time which should 'h.ite herii
devoted to them was spent among low
corn pan ions at a sea-side tavet•n.
With all these things in view, it was
hardly to be wondered that his suit pros
pered not with Mary Leslie.
This was the position of things, win n
on an afternoon in Autumn, a small.
strangely built vessel was discovered a.
the anchor of the village, and twe a ld
evening a number of rough-looking
attired as sailors, were observed 10ut14,11 ,
about the only tavern in the place.
There'd be another chance for the
revenue officers," said old 'Squire Leslie,
who had been standlng upon the piazza
of his dwelling which overlooked the
ocean, narrowly scrutinizMg the stranger
thrungli his telescope. "Your lover will
soon be among us again, Mull, or 1 ant
m ist ak en ."
I)o you think there is anything wrong
rho .tt the vessel, father ?'• said Mary, evi
d,ntly much interested.
"Um 1 she's either a smuggler, o
sofa -thing w0r.; , ," muttered the u!d (113 . 1.
s! , I! scrutinizing her. -she has the
sirang-st look about her cf any [ en r
saw. But Harry will be here . shortly—
ucA not blush, you witch—and lit
silt ..;01 1 clear up the mystery for ns."—
It au 38 the 'Si] ul re had said. A party
levei.ue officers came to the 'tillage
',xi day and among them Harry Wilson
—the person alluded to as Alary's
But ihe stranger was either an honest
cruiser, or else her plans had been so al t
fully laid as to defy the ‘igilence - of th,,se
commissioned to watch her. Nothing
now remained, therefore, but to keep up
a strict eum•ilance upon the motums of
tier crew.
For several days the vessel lay at quiet
anchorage, and Ilugh Morrison. aho I4)r
some time past had been g , tting shal.hv
and negligent m his attire, wa , r,hservcd
01 a sudden to dress uell, to nAve pl,4ht{
of money, and to pass the greater part of
nig time in the company of the smug,
visit,rrs.
It was one very rough night in An 2 gti: , t
that a small boat, containing four or five
p,rsons, pulled along,ide the Wizard
“Boat ahoy !" cried the watch—
goes I here
"Why, don't you know me, Mynheev
Dawson ?" responded a thick voice, with
a strong Dntch ace‘lat, from the rear of
the boat. "It's your very good hen' Va
cobHummel, that byes spirits of you.
'•I know YOU en,pmfh, Ifornmel,
hot who arc those with Poi ?" eai&l ihe
watch.
"Dev have the password, I tell you,"
replied Rummel.
"You,d have spared both of us corm
trouble by cagin g so in the first place,
Bummel," growl ed Dawson. But comt
on*board, we have quite a tea party here
to-night."
1u H. few moments the entire party—
consisting of the aforesaid Bummel,Hngh
Mcrri-on, and several persona whose char
acters for probity might have suffered
detraction in the village, had the object
of their present . visit been known-were
safely bestowed upon the deck of the
Wizard. Tau stir made by their arrival
brought up their mate, who conducted
them below, where they were ushered in
to a cabin of rather cramped dimenisons.
filled with a party of noisy revelers, com
posed partly of the crew, and the remain
der of certain persons of standing from
the village.
Ilynhee: Bummed was evidently no
stranger in this silent circle, to judge
from the familiarity with which he saint
ed the skipper and crew. Hugh Morri—
son wiis:eyidently on terms of intimacy
with all, for he called everybody by his
lisurname, and drank very deeply of the
smuggled liquors.
As the night wore on, the revelers'
waxing more and more nproarous,indulg
ed w songs and low-lived jests, Until the
cabin rang again, when. in the midst of
the , n fusion a pistol shot was heard
without—the cries of the watch, and the
seedling of many feet along the vessel's
side and fleck.
An instant after, the watch came run—
ning into the cabin, crying, "We ate
be—
traved !"
The exclamation had barely escaped
his lips, when the door was thrown open
slid a party of revenue officers headed by
Harry Wilson, entered the cabin.
"Out with the lights, lads, and push
for it !" said Morrison, ashing a goblet
of wine on the nearest lamp, and spring
ing to his feet ; "he must have sharp eyes
who sees Its: now."
"The doors and hatchways are fast;
you_svill find resistance rain," said the
voice of Wilson, in the dankness. "You
will fare better if you do';nofoppose the
officers of-the law in the execution of
this duty." ' .
Some of the boldest•of the Party now
made a rush-for the cabin door, but were
repulsed by the officers, and a desperate
skirmish ensued,. during which the groans
of Hummel, were diStinctiy audible amid
oatiib soil curses of the smugglers----
But it wait useless for a few to, contend
again - such a superior number, and in, the
end the smugglers were eonipelled to give
in anti the whole party obligetlita accoin
patty the officers to ti'e village. ,
A trial Was held a few days afterwarb,
and Thigh • Morrison), among lathers,:tints
con tined to some. months'impkisonmen t.
in the county jail. He was .resigned,
however, because he attributed this new
reverse to his evil destiny.

ried. fly II strange coincidence, the d a y
settled upon for their nuptials. was thet
succeeding the one on which Hugh Mor—
rison', term of. imprisonment was to ex—
pire.
On the evening pre'r.eding the appoint
da y , Harry parted from Mary with a
"limn upon his brow, and a strange Fore.
his heart. lie know that one
who, he knew, bore him nn friendly feel—
Ingi had sworn to be revenged upon him
for the part he sustained in the affair with
the smugglers, and, bearilla In mind that
'the incarceration of Hugh Morrison was
mid that day, he dreailed same inter
niptin on the morrow. He strove to

it state of partial insensibility toward a
small collection of hovels, which stood
high up along the shore, a crowd of wild

A stnouldering .mass of ashes which

THE LAST LOOK.
[The following beautiful and touching poem
Is from the pen of Edwin W. Fuller, of Louis-
burg, N. C., the author of "The Angel in the
Cloud," "Sea Gift," etc. It was written upon
the death of his little daughter,and is dedicated
to his wife.]
Do not fasten the lid of the coffin yet,
Let me have a long look at the face of my
•
pet,
Please all quit the chamber, and pull to She
And leave me alone with my darling once
more.
Is this little Ethel, so cold and so still ?
Beat, beat, breaking heart, against Hod's mys
tic will ;
Remember, Oh I Christ, Thou did'st dread
thine own cup,
And while I drink mine let Thine arm bear me
op.
But the moments are fleeting, I must stamp on
my brain
Each dear little feature,lor never again
Can I touch her ; and only God measures bow
much
Affliction a mother conveys by her touch
Oh ! dear little head'; Oh dear little hair;
So silken, so golden, so soft and so fair ;
Will I never more smooth it Y Oh ! help me
my God,
To bear this worst stroke of the chastening
rod.
The bright little eyes that used to feign sleep,
Or sparkle so merrily, playing at peep,
Closed forever ; and yet seem closed with a
sigh,
As if for our sake, she regretted to die.
And that dear little mouth, so warm and so
soft,
Always willing to kiss you, no mutter how
, oft,
Cold .I,nd rigid, without the least tremor of
breath ;
low could you claim Ethel, oh ! pitiless
death ?
Her hands, no—'twill kill me to think bow
they wove
Through my daily existence a tissue of love ;
Each finger a print upon memory's page,
That will brighten, thank God, and not fade
with my age.
Sick ca well, they were ready at every request
To amuse us. Sweet bands, they deserye a
sweet rtst ;
Their last little trick was to wipe "Bo peep's"
eye,
Their last little gesture to wave us good-bye.
Little feet, little feel, how dark the heart's
gloom,
tVI .n ynor h t.lll-41 in *het desolate
room
For oil 'twas a right sweet beyond all com-
pare
To see little "Frisky" rock back in the, chair.
Oh, Father have mercy and give Inc Til l y grace,
Te see through this frowning the smile on Thy
face ;
To feel that this sorrow is sent fur the best,
And to learn from my drirling a lesson of rest
DIVERS DANCES
The warmer climates seem to be naturally
productive of the best singers and dancers.—
There alond can be found that glow and vivaci
ty, that' imp&uousness and enthusiasm which
can hardly ever be equaled in northern cli-
mates.
In Russia, for instance, dancing /is quite as
common a pastime as in Spain or Italy. But
bow vast the difference ; The' Russian peas
ant's dance is heavy, listless, and oftentimes de
void of gracefulness. lie merely sways to and
fro to the monotonous music of the balateica—
a long guitar, whose notes are frequently
drowned by the shouts and songs of the
standers.
The dance of Cossacks is nothing but a noisy
tramp, or condensed stamping of feet, dignified
with the euphonious names of "koppak," `lro
pak," and "kastethik." But the Court dance is
the polonaise, or Polish origin, as indicated by
the name. It is merely a measured promenade
or march, affording the very best, opportunity
for conversation, Is at once graceful and uncon
strained, while the strictest etiquette may be
maintained. The redowa, mazurka, and verso-
Vienna are all Polish Jane&
Great Britain, Frauce, and Germany have
each been the birthplace of a number of special
or fancy dances ; but at the present day there
is really no national dancing,and the same bty lc
prevails in all countries, at least in good socie
ty.
The jig and country dance are purely Eng
lish, while the reel is unmistakably_ of Scotch
origin.' The minuet—so called because of the
short stop (menua oar) taken in
. the different
fignres--originated In the old French Province
of Potion, and was afterwards introduced by
the Marquis de Flauinarens into England,where
it lopg remained in great favor, and deservedly,
for it was a dignified and graceful dance.., The
gavotte, witieb recently

a s a f an cy d a nce, w..s tripped centuries ago by
the peasant gi4o .in..the Gavot's country:--a
small momitainons region in the neighborhood

'The'ever delightful waltz, contrary to gener
al belief, isnot of German 'origin. It was ex
treraely popular in France towards the tbir
teenth and fourteenth centuries, and became
knoWn in Germany only after that period. Its
popularity was semi established in all countries

FLOWERS.
Can any one on reading this title exclaim
"flow hackneyed and tiresome ?"-Bnrelp not.
Flowers come under the bead of the fevi thhiga
of which one never becomes weary ; that Is, If
they loved once they arc likely to love them at
and wish ever to have them in sight and
drink in draughts—the larger the better—thefr
balmy breath, the sweetest of all fragrance.
A love of flowers shows a refinement ofna
ture, no matter how rough and uncouth the, ex
terior'of the being who possesses this fondness
for Heaven's gilt ! What a strong influence
they exert ovens in tent modesty-!

blossoms of the field carry us hack leagues of
life long since swept over by the wing of time,
and how plainly do we see again the, loved (me
who gave us one of these when parting, and
whom we never saw again !
The signiscance that }leaven has given to
each of the blossoms it has generously scatter
ed around us is truly beautiful and wonderful.
There is an Easteni fable to the effect that each.
flower is consecrated to a particular'angel,while
the peculiarly delicate and lovely tea-rose, the
fairy of roses, is consecrated to an archattgel - of
the highest order.
A lover of flowers could not welVselect as his
.own any singl3 one, for while we gaze on and
decide it the most beautiful, another of equal.
beauty anti tweeter fragrance will appear. Alas,
4
like the human race, the most beautiful are not
always the purest and sweetest.
The mignonette, which holds Within its tiny
heart a fragrance that should be known in every
collection, is much more popular than many
flowers of superior beauty ; this little plant has
drifted to us from far Egypt, where, as some
writer graceffilly remarks, "it may have wafted
sweet odors from the banks of the Nile to the
infant Moses, as he floated by In his ark of bul
rushes."
We are sure we should only cherish this dear
little plant more sacredly, it we knew truly it
had performed this dike of love to the sweet
babe in his loneliness. We shrink from the,
tamarisk. though so quiet and graceful, with a
feeling of dread, probably because we have as
sociated in our minds the use it was put to in
olden times of crowning Roman, criminals, .
which bus left a taint the wind of centuries
cannot dispel. ,
Still, an etfection for flowers is the foretaste
we bay&on earth of elysium. flow 'fascinating
is the simple descriptions which We find in
Dickens and other inthora of the loye of the
toiling millions for those bright gems of nature!
They are the compensations lett Its by the tall

of blissful innocence in which our first parenta

queen, "without money and without price ;"
and the careworn may bend; and bolding them

we, too, like the flowers, may perish and pass
out of sight for a little while, when the glorious
spring time of life everlasting shall cause us to'
blossom anew In the "sweet fields of Eden,"
where we shall never perish or fade away, but
"grow brighter and brighter throughout all
eternity."
HEALTH AND DISEASE.
There is no one thing which causes so much
pain, poverty, and distress, as had living and
had doctoring. Laurie% philanthropists tyre
nw consenting that health reform Is the basis
of all other reforms.
AVe must insist that physicians should begin
to preserve health, rather than drug to restore
it. It is strange that so many haie nn Idea
that they can do the latter, but not the former.
They can make one well, bOt cannot keep ono •
so ; reversing the common-sense maxim that
"an ounce of prevention ls _worth it pound of
cure." Strange that the skill which puts a body
in order, might not prevent the disorder.' Is it
not easier to keep the road • than tolfuld it aftnr.„,_
losing it ? Is it wise . to lot ottr 'children con
tract vices, that we may use our skill to return
them to their lost virtues? Is it not easier to
keep ten men sober than to rein= one drunk
ard ? So must it be ifs to health. Far easier
and far safer for tiocto? r s to 'study, to Practice,
to teach hygiene—to have all their patrons live
in accordance with the laws of health—than to
dose them into health when siek.
Why not do as one of jhe kings of China—
give the physician a certain sum of money for
every day the family were kept in health, but
nothing for the days this inestimable blimsing
was lost? 'Under such an eugagement the phy•
sician shouldlave the control of the diet, and
other sanitary regulations, which would be far
easier, happier, and less expensive than his too'
often vain effort to kill dfsease with .pelsonous
drugs. • .

'Besides, let it be well understood and never
