THE LAST MAN.
BY CAStrBKLU
All worldly sliape shall melt in gloom,
The Sun himself must die,
Before this mortal shall assume
Its immortality I
I saw a vision in my sleep,
That gave my spirit strength to sweep
Adowa the gulf of Time I
I saw the last of human mould
That shall Creation's death behold,
As Adam saw ber prime 1
The Sun's eye had a sickly glare,
The Earth with age was won,
The skeletons of nations were
Around that lonely man t
Borne bad expired in fight the brands
Still rusted in their bony bonds ;
In plague and famine some I
Earth's cities had nor sound nor tread ;
And ships were drifting with the dead
To shores wheie all was dumb 1
Yet, prophet-like that lone one stood,
With dauoties winds and bich.
That shook the sere leaves from the wood
As if a storm passed by.
Saying, We are twins in death proud Sun 1
1 iiy lace is cold, try race is run,
'Tis mercy bids tbeo go ;
For thou ten tbouBaod thonsand years
Hast seen tho tide of humao tears,
That shall no longer Cow.
What tbongb beneath tbeo man put forth
llis pomp, lus prule, Ins skill ;
And arts that mnde Gre, flood and earth
Tbo vassals of his will T
Yet mourn 1 not tby parted sway,
Tbnu dim discrowned king of day ;
For all those trophied arts
And triumphs that beneath thee sprang,
Healed not a passion or a pnng
Entailed on human hearts.
Go, let oblivion's curtain fa' I
Upon the stage of men,
Nor with thy rising beams recall
Life's trogedy sgnin t
Its piteous pngeants bring Dot back,
Xor waken Uesli, upon the rack
Of pain anew to writhe;
Stretched iu disease's shapes abhorred,
Or mown in battle by the sword,
Like grass beneath the scythe.
Even I am weary in yon skies
To watch thy fading fire ;
Test of all sumless agonies,
Behold not me expire.
My lips that speak thy dirge of death
Their rounded graep and gurgling breath
lo see thou shalt not boast.
The eclipse of Nature spreads my pall,
The majesty of Darkness shall
Receive my parting ghost I
This spirit shall return to Ilim
Who gave its heavenly spark ;
Yet thick not, Sun, it shall be dim
Wbeo thcu thyself art dark T
No 1 it shall live again, and shine
In bliss unknown to beams oftbiue,
Iiy llim recalled to breath,
Who coptive led captivity.
Who robbed the grave of Victory
And took the sting from Death I
Go, Sun, wbilo Mercy holds me up
On Nature's awful waste
To drink this last and bitter enp
Of grief that mnn shall taste
On, tell the night that hides thy face,
Thou saw'st the last of Adam's race,
On Earth's sepulchral clod,
The darkening universe defy
To quench his Immortality,
Or shake his trust in God t
RETRIBUTION,
BT THE AUTHOR OF "THE TIKI It TO ASHLEY.
CHAPTER I.
THE VOYAOE OP TflK "nCSUI.NO WATERS.1
It was the last day of March, and the
harbor of a fine old fishing town on the con
tinent, not many hours' distance from Eng
land, was alivsT with bustle. For the next
day would be tbe Grst of April, and the Ice
land fishing boats were to go out with the
morning s tide. A whole neet of vessels
some large, somo small ; some with their
complement of ten or twelve men and boys
on board, somo with but four or five, who
were making ready to depart on their annual
voyoge to tho North fishery, praying for
success.
Yes, praying. Tbe streets were crowded
with promenaders, going to or returning from
me ueautnui little chapel on tbe port.
ch ipel specially constructed to fishermen
For three days bad that small cbspel been
besieged, 80 that it was difficult to push a
way in or out. It was a small building, little
larger than a fair sized room ; models of
ships were suspended in it. and it was taste
fully decorated with landscape pictures, and
gilding, and flowers and ornaments, after
the manner of the favorite chapels of tbe
Roman Catholics. Some marine views in
particular were attractivelv caiuted. Thev
lined the walls of the porch, five or six of
mem, iu guttering irames, and represented
the vicissitudes of a sea-life. One portrayed
a calm sea, on which glided a large ship with
ber white sails set a scene of peace ; another
view enowea ner rocking aoa tossing in all
tbe perils ef a storm, apparently about to
succumb to its fury. Here was a small pic-
lure representing a Belling boat sinking, sink
ing hopelessly, beyond possibility of hope or
snccor, its cancers' hands and their beseech
ing countenances outstretched to Heaven.
Tbe frame above it contained a view of soo
ther fishing vessel approaching its harbor in
safety. The chances and dangers of its past
voyage were surmounted,' and borne faces
were collected on tbe beach to welcome it
in.
Tbe chape was dark, dark even in tbe day
time. The windows were sombre with their
stained glass, and tbe ornaments, cases of
relics, images, and pictures raised against
them, further obscured the light. It never
was wholly dark, for the high candles on tbe
altar were kept continually burning, and
numberless collections of miniature tapers
were lighted by tbe kaeeling women. From
sunrise till lute at sight tbe cbapel was re.
ceiviog and pouring forth its crowds. The
sailor men and boys would come in, sink on
tbeir knees before one or other of tbe images,
St. Andrew, or SL Peter, or tbe Virgiu, and
remain there, 'still si death, for a couple of
minutes, praying to tbe saint. Tbeo tbey
crossed themselves and pawed eot, and tbe
short prayer would Isit most ef tbem ootil
Select Cale.
tbeir return, when they would go Into the I
same cnapel and oUer as brief thanks. The
women remained kneeling loneer : their mov
ers were chiefly for a "bon voyage" and safe
return, the men's for a good haul of cod.
ot half tbe people who crowded there, on
the few evenings preceding the boats' depar
ture, could get an entrance into tbe chapel,
therefore many were content to kneel out
side, on tbe enclosed space of waste ground
around it, and there pray. They all managed
to steal a look through tbe open door at
whichever image they patronized, bow to it,
make the sign of the cross, and so departed
in peace.
there glided a lady into tho chapel this
evening at the dusk hour. She looked of a
superior class, and was handsomely bat
quietly dressed. She drew aside to the re
motest obscuuty or the cbapel entrance, and
leaned against the bar that was placed there
to guard the paintings, waiting till ber turn
should come to push in with the stream.
She was a middle-aged woman, and must once
have been beautiful, but her features looked
clouded with care. Ayonngwomnn followed
ber in the Deat dress of a French domestic
servant, wearing the universal dark cloth
cloak, and close snow white cop. The lady
was anxious, and soon passed on ; the maid
was more anxious to look about her and to
gossip, so she stopped at the entrance. Pre
sently nn acquaintance came up, another
woman servant, who Bccosted her.
"Hey, Thereso, is it you? Who have yon
como to pray for? I thought your brother
was not going this year?"
"I am attending madame."
"Madame Janson I What does she do here?
She has nothing to to with the cod fishery."
"I can tell yon that she has, though," was
the reply of Thereso, "and a finn way tho
house has been in, through it. You know
ber son f"
"Who does not T A rackety blade."
"That he is; but everybody likes him, in
spite of it."
"Well, what or him ?"
"lie is going out with the cod boats to
Iceland."
"With tho cod boats 1 That young English
man 1 Why, what on earth it can't bet"
Thereso nodded her head several times in
succession. "Some whim of his. lie goes
Tor pleasure, be says."
"Stuff, Thereee I Such a thing was never
heard of ob going out with the cod bouts for
pleasure. J i s a precrous hard voyoge ana
hard life. Besides, the crews dou't wunt a
fine gentleman on board."
"Ob, what do they care ? He bos made it
all right with Messrs. Ynndurspbinks, the
owners."
"Vandersphinks I Which is he going out
in, then ?"
"The Rushing Water."
"Well, he has got a taste ! To go ont in a
dirty cod boat to that ecld. barren Iceland, a
handsome young fellow like that I Will be
share the suilor's fare ?"
"Not he: any more than he'll share their
labor. There's some tins of preserved meats
gone on board for bim, and a big hamper of
prime Bordeaux wine."
"And that brings his mother hero to pray
for his snfo return 1 Therese, it's a lucky
thing she's not a heretic, though she is one
of them English, or she couldn't have como
hero to pray for it at least, with any chance
of St. Peter listening to her. But, I say, he
is a heretic, i9n't be V"
Therese nudged her companion for silence j
and the woman, looking round, saw close to
her a party or ' heretic" two English ladies
and a child, who had come, full of British
curiosity, to witness the praying in the
chapel.
"You shouldn't coll 'em so to their faces,"
whispered the tolerant Therese. "They are
as good as we are, for all I see, and"
Therese broke off suddenly, and dropped
upon ber knees, for her mistress was coming
out again after her short prayer.
"Therese, have you not been in T" demand,
ed Mrs. Janson, in very good French, ber
tone betraying reproach aud surprise.
"Couldn't get iu, madame," answered Th
rese, without thinking it necessary to say
that she had not tried.
It took some time to get out. Several
were pushing out as well as themselves, but
tbey were obstructed by the numbers pushing
in. Immediately following M rs. Janson were
the two English ladies mentioned, the young
er one, wbo va an elegant girl of remarkable
beauty, remonstrating at their leaving so
soon.
"Henry is bo troublesome," replied her
companion. "1 could scarcely buhl htm still,
do nil I would, lie wanted to run inside,
amidst tbe mass kneeling there."
"I told you it would be so, mamma. - You
should have left bim at borne."
"Oh I of course," observed the eldor lady,
in a sharp accent. "I know be is an eyesore
to you, Elizabeth."
"Mamma, you know that he is nothing of
tbe sort. But be is the most troublesome
boy that ever existed, especially to take any
where." Elizabeth Sherrington was right. Henry
Yorke was her half-brother, ber mother huv
ing married twice. He was a slender boy of
ten, fair and delicate, with welt formed fea
tures and long, wavy lair, tbe combing out
of which every morning by bis mother, aud
the coaxing iuto curls, kept the house in a
uproar for an bour. He wts one of those
precocious, clever children, who, to nse a fa
miliar phrase, are "awake to even-thing,"
restless, mischievous, and wilful. Yet tbe
child had admirable qualities bad they been
allowed fair play ; but bis mother pursued
a system of ruinous indulgence. He was the
pride and delight of ber life, and the torment
of everybody else's.
No sooner were they ootsMe than he man
aged to emancipate himself from his mother's
grusp, and she bad the satisfaction of seeing
him rush back again, twist himself amidst
the blockade at the entrance, and disappear.
"There !" uttered Mrs. Yorke, "he is gone
just like an eel 1 What am 1 to do to get
at him T Wait here, Elizabeth."
"Therese," said Mrs. Janson, who had seen
and beard this bit of by-play, "go borne fast,
and get supper ready. If Mr. Edward should
be at home, tell him I shall soon be in."
Therese weut off, pickiug her way through
tbe lioe of kneelers on tbe earth, aud turning
ber bead add ner drooping gold eai-riugs
from side to side in search of a gossip to
walk with, when Miss Sheirington, who bad
drawn aside to be out of the way of passers-
uy, louno uersen suddenly addressed.
Kou are r.lizaoeia bberrioglon 1
"Yes," she replied, wondering at tbe stran
ger's familiarity.
"And I am Edward Jansoo's mother. I
knew you by ictuitioo. I beard Elizabeth
bberringtoo was of rare beauty, and 1 bave
not often witnessed beauty to match what I
now see in yon. If it shall prove the blight
to others that It bU to me, better for yon
that you bad been a model of deformity."
"1 do not understand vou," haughtily spoke
Miss Sherrington. 'I do not know you."
"No 1 bave given vou no opportunity. I
have lived in this place many jeers, holding
myself aloof from my countrymen, who flock
here to make their few years' residence or
their few weeks' sojourn. I am too poor to
compete with some of their ostentations
purses, and too proud to risk fumilinrily with
doubtful characters as many of them are.
Therefore your family and 1 bnve never met.
I wish I could sny that you had never met
my son. You bave playod your beauty off
upon bim, flirted with him, courted bim yes
you have. Miss Sherrington I and drawn him
on to love yoo. When that love had reached
a height that could no longer be repressed
within the bounds of prudence, and he told it
to you, yon rejected bim. It may be, with
scorn, because he was poor and yon were
rich ; 1 know not t from him I have learnt
nothing ; he bag kept his own counsel and
your secret ; but 1 have watched closely, and
know the day that bronght to him this des
pair, la blijhting bis happiness you have
blighted mine."
Elizabeth Sherrington's glowing features
nau turned to paleness, ana they were now
glowing again. She appeared too confused
to answer, aod Mrs. Janson continued :
"He came over here to pass a few months
with me before be should settle in his pro
fession in bis own country. Those months
have been passed with you more thun with
me ; and now be is goiug ont with the wretch
ed cod-fishers, and may never return. When
he came home, two days ago. and told me his
iuteolion, I thought my heart would have
broken, and in my baste 1 wished you had
beon dead dead, young lady before you had
lured my boy on to love you, and then treated
him so that lie must go on this hard voyage
to forget you and strive for peace. I have
pity for misfortune," added Mrs. Janson, "but
1 have none for wilful fault for the siuful
indulgence of vanity. I do not wish you ill,
Elizubeth Sherrington I trust I have too
much Christian charity delibrately to wish it
to any one ; but I cannot help feeling that
should your existence become ns bitter to
you as you havo mode his, it will only be a
just retribution."
Without another word, rbo turned away,
leaving Miss Sherrington transfixed to tho
spot, and miserably conscious. All that M rs.
Janson reproached her with wns just. She
had flirted with and encouraged Edward Jan
son at first for flirting's sake, in which she
was an adept; then she grew vain of his
lioinapc rendered to her, vain ol his personal
attractions, vnin of his popularity in the
Anglo-r rench town for if his mother held
herself aloof from its society, he did not : and
ut length she learned to love bim. She loved
him oven when she rejected him even now
with a passion little calmer than his own ;
but she buried it within her own breast, and
meant it to beburied there, and stifled, and
extinguished ; for Edward Janson, with small
means, an uncertain profession, and his own
fortune to carve in the world, in the laco of
difficulty, was no match for the gay and ex
pensively reared Miss Sherrington.
"I was obliged to hold up a five franc piece
to bribe him to come out," cried Mrs. Yorke,
emerging from tho chapel, hot and red, the
truant a lust prisoner in tier grasp. "And
glad enough to gel him out on terms so easy ;
he bnd got close up to that lighted altar nt
the ither eod "
Miss Sherrington took bold of the boy's
othev hand, and away thry went. Harry de
lighted in his five franc piece, and kickitm up
clouds of dust as he walked between tbem.
The morning rose bright aud cler.r. The
tido served at eight o'clock, but long before
that bonr the port was taken possession of.
Half the town was there to witness the depar
ture, thronging tbe piers and tbe heights.
It was a stirring sight. Vessel ufter vessel,
hoisting its sails, came smoothly down the
harbor, each receiving an animated, hearty
cheer of hope from hundreds of voices. Wives
mothers, sisters and little children leaned ovr
the nearly unprotected sides of the piers, to
wish good luck to tbe several crews, and utter
the last farewell in their familiar patois.
One vessel in particular camo gayly down,
a trin-bui!t little craft ofmidd!e size. A sun
burnt boy, in a fishing cap and red flannel
shirt, wae in the bow, grinning.
"Hera comes tbe Rushing Woter," cried a
spectator. "So 1 she is taking out young
Paul !" he added as he caught sight of the
boy'a face. "The crew of the Fleur de Marie
would not take him."
"Why not?" inquired those around.
"He has been in three different vessels
three years running, has that young monkey,
and they all had enough of bim. A worse
boy never sailed than that young Paul ; be is
made np of illed nature aud mischief. The
Rushing Water must bavo been bard up fur
bands to take bim."
"The Rushing Water is taking ont a band
or too short ; chimed in an old fish-wife.
Some gentleman took a whim to go out In
her, and he wouldu't be crowded he said.
They took this young shavei aboard last night
he can be put anywhere."
Leaning over tbe side of the pier, with
Henry Yorke, and attended by a maid a foot
man, was Miss Sherrington. The Rushing
Water, came gliding past and her cheeks ex
pressed plainly her consciousness of it. Stand
ing upright in the boat, iu a jaunty sailor's
costume, was Mr, Janson, a fine looking
young man. He looked at her with a face
schooled to impsssiveness, and gravely rais
ed bis hat in token or adieu. She forgot her
resolution for a moment ; her eyes were
strained yearningly oo bim, and the tears
shone in tbem as she waived ber handkerchief
in answer. Another grave bow, ere hd re
sumed his glazed hat, end the Rushing Water
glided down the harbor.
A gentleman stood at Miss Sherrington's
side, he had seen the signs of her emotion,
and his lips parted with a defiaut expression.
He was a powerfully built man of thirty not
tall, with remarkably while teeth, which ho
uowod too much. Without perceiving him.
Miss. Sherrington turned to pursue ber way
to the top of Ihu crowded pier. It was a
work of difficulty, and Uenry Yorke exercised
his feet aud elbows.
"Hurry, if you behave so ruduly. if vou
push the people unnecessarily, 1 will eeod
John home with you."
"I nut yon ou t. 1 would jump over tbe
pier first and go home ducked, on purpose to
get into a row with mamma. You kuow you
are not to dictate to ine.
"Hush! Be a good boy."
''I say, Elizabeth, don't you wish you were
going out with Mr. Janson.
It was a telling question, innocently put.
Aod he with the white teeth, following close
behind, saw that ber very neck was in a glow.
"1 do," continued Harry. "It is ao nice to
sail over tbe sea. Ml be a sailor when I
grow up."
"Nice to sail over the seal" cried Mis.
Sherrington. "Don't yon remember bow ill
yoo were, only crossing to herefrom London.
But that was the nasty ttamer made me.
I do mean to be a sailor, Elizabeth, and I'll
bring you lots of thing home from foreign
eoe u trim. Mamma thinks I only say it to
tease ber when I want anything that tbe
won't give me."
Every inch of ground towardi tbe extremi
ty of tbe pier wee contested for, tbat being
the best gazing place. Tbe sea wsa calm !
aod lovely, tlm light wind which served to
spread the sails, scarcely ruffling It, more than
thirty boats were already out studding the
marine landscape, and the morning sun t-hone
brightly on their canves, as they skimmed
over the water. M iss Sherrington was strng.
gling on, when a crash and shouting below,
and a worse press than ever to the side of tbe
tier, suggested tbat some untoward accident
lud happened. The Rushing Water, io
going out of harbor bad, by some mishap or
mismanagement, which none on board could
acconnt for, struck against the end of the
pier. The boy, Paul, had been loft for a
single moment near tbe rudder ; could be
have mischieveeuBly altered the boat's course.
"What dumage is done?" inquired Miss
Sherrington or a bystander, a fisherman.
"Not much as Tar as I can see. They
will have to put back, though, till the even
ing's tide, and give her a haul over."
"Good morning, Miss Sherrington. You
are out early."
She turned sharply round ot the voice, to
encounter Mr. Yorke and bis glistening teeth
He was a man of large, fortune, a relation 0
her mother's lata husband, end Miss Sher
rington bad cause to suspect that the object
of his sojourn in the French town had herself
for its motive power. She had no objection
in the world to bis admiration had flirted
with him quite as much as she had flirted
with Mr. Janson : whether she would equal
ly well receive any warmer token of his favor,
remained to be proved.
"We came to see the boats out," she said,
giving him her hand.
"I should scarcely have thought a fleet of
paltry fishing boots would have been sufficient
attraction to call a young lady from bed."
"Oh, Mr. Yorke 1 Look at the number of
English arouud : nearly every one we know
is here. It is a sight that bus the charm of
novelty for many of us."
"I see your friend, young Janson's courage
has not failed him at last, as 1 propbesiod it
would. We shall be rid or bim lor a time."
"For good, probably." she replied, with the
utmost appurent indifference. "Before he re
turns, wo shall no doubt bave left for home."
"1 hope go. I wonder ut Mrs. York's hav
ing brought you here at nil. These continen
tal towns are not desirublo."
"Her motive was Henry's improvement in
French." laughed Miss Sherrington.
"And that he may gain facility in speaking
it, she sends him to the college," observed Mr
Yorke, "where he mixes with a do.eu other
English boys, and they abuse each other all
day in genuine (.Queen's English."
"We nro not Koine to associate with these
pigs of French beggars," interposed Master
Yorke, shaking buck his pretty curls in token
of scorn.
"Pigs !" echoed the Gentleman. "You ore
polite, sir."
"At any rate it is what they are always cal
ling ns," retorted the lad. "Gros cochens
Anglais."
M r. Yorko left them, and Elizabeth and
ber brother had quitted tho pier, and were
passing though the old fortified gates, when
three or four lads old. r thun himself camo up
to hold a conference with Horry. It appear
ed to be productive of some pleasurable ex
citement, fur be turned to his sister with
sparkling eyes and an enrger face.
"Elizabeth, may I go out fishing ?"
"Fishing, no! You would send mamma in
to a fever. You know she never allows you
to go near the water."
"There is to danger Miss Sherrington,"
spoke up one or the inviters, a boy or fifteen
or sixteen. :'We are going up the canal in
a boat for a mile or two, and then shall land
aud fish. Ho can't come to any harm; we
are accustomed to the management of a boat,
and we have got our provisions with us. We
mean to make a duy of it "
"It is impossible that lean allow Lini to
go," replied Miss Sherrington. "He can ask
his mamma if he likes, but 1 am sure it will
be useless."
"It's a shame then !" exclaimed Harry.
"I can uever do anything that I like. Won't
I when I get bigger, though 1"
Ho wulked sullenly by his sister's side un
til they reached the streets As they were
passing the college, one or two boys were go
ing in ut the scholars' entronce, and the old
church clock further off, chimed out nine.
"I shall go in school now," said Henry.
"Nonsense," returned his sister; "you have
not hud your breakfust."
"I dou't want any. I don't want to be
marked late. It's your fuult for stopping so
lung upon the pier. So good-by, Elizabeth."
"Good-by," she replied, scarcely heeding
his departure or what he said, for at that mo
ment Edward Janson appeared, crossing tbe
street, having lunded from the Rushing Wa
ter, aud the sight made her oblivious to eve
rything else.
At six o'clock when they assembled to din
ner, Henry was missing. Mrs. Yorke sup.
posed be was kept in at srlmul, not an unfro
quent nccurreuce, and began dinner wilh a
very bad grace. She inquired of John what
timo be went back to school after lun
cheon : she and Miss Sherrington having beeu
out in the middle of the day.
"Master Harry did uot come home to lun
cheon, ma'am."
Mrs. Yorke was indignant. "No break
fust and keep him from two meals besides,"
she uttered. "Its enough to throw him into
a consumption. Tbe master must be a bear.
Go at once and briug the child home. John ;
briug him home by force, if they object, and
threaten them with the police. I'll summons
that master before the criminal tribunal.
Send somebody in here, to wait, while you
go."
Tbe footman went leisurely enouch to the
college ; but be tore back again at full speed.
Master Yorke had not been near the school
that day, und was to be puuisbed for it ou
the morrow.
"Not near the school !" repeated the alarm
ed Mrs. Yorke. "Elizabeth, you told me you
left him there."
"So I did. I saw him run to the gate. I
I thiuk I saw bim enter," she added, more
hesitatingly, trying to remember whether she
did or not.
"You think I "What do you mean by that?"
demandeJ Mrs. Yorke, who really cared no
thing for ber daughter iu comparison with
ber son. "You saw him, or did not."
"Ha never can bave gone off with those
boys I" suddenly exclaimed Elizabeth, in
alarm, remembering the lishiog expedition.
'What boys ? Why don't you speuk plain?"
"Joues aud Anson aod a few more English
lads were going up the canal in a boat, to fish
aud wanted Harry to go with them," ex
plained Mist. Sherrington. I refused, of
course."
"Then he is fare to be gone, aod if he is
drowned you are the cause," screamed Mrs.
Yorke, fn agitation. "After such a thing as
tbtt put into bit bead, yoo ought to have
brought him bonie, and kept bim here. You
know what be is." '
There was no further peace. Mrs. Yorke
not only aeot about the town, but went her
self to the bouse of the boy' parent and to
very place where there wat a possibility of
hearing of him. Tbe other psrentj were '
alarmod now. With some difficulty tbey dis
covered which canal the young gentlemen
had favored with their company, eod bent
their eti ps to it in a body, Mr. Joues carry
ing a lantern, for it was dark then. They
had not proceeded along its banks many mi
nutes, when they euconntered a small army of
half a dozen, looking like drowned rats. It
proved to be the young gentlemen them
selves, who bad all been in the water, through
the upsetting or tbe boat.
"Where it Henry t" asked Mn. Yorke,
trembling so that she could scarcoly ask the
question. "Has he been with you ?"
"Yes, ho has been with us."
"Where is he ? Oh, where is be ?"
"He was in the boat when itcapslzed. We
can't make out where he is. I'm snre be
scrambled out." .
Miss Sherrington was very pale. "How
are you sure ?" she asked in a dread tone.
"I am positive I saw him," cried Philip
Anson "and I spoke to him. I said to bim,
'That was a splash and a near touch, wasn't
it Hal?' and he auswered, 'By Jove, it it
wasn't I' "
"No, it was me answered yon that, Phil,"
interposed a little lllow, about Henry s age.
"Well, I'm positive he is out," rejoined
Phil Anson, "for I know I saw hitn, aud his
hair had got the cnrl out of it, and was hang
ing down straight."
"Did any of the rest of you see him ?" in
quired Miss Sherrington, in a paiuful sus
pense. All tho boys began talking together. Tbe
result to be gathered was that they could not
be sure whether he was out or not; it was
all such a scramble at tbe time, aud nearly
dark.
"Oh, mamma," implored Miss Sherrington,
"do not despair." But Mrs. Yorke hud lain
ted away and was lying on the towiug-patb.

Old Kkktite. A Kentuckian at tho bat
tle of New Orleans, who disdained the re
straint of a soldier's life, with his name upon
the muster-roll, preferied "goin' it nloue,"
lighting upon his own hook. While the bat
tie was raging the fiercest and the shot was
flying thick us hail, carrying death wherever
they fell, "Ketituck" might havo been seen
stationed under a tall maple, loading and
firing his rifle as perfectly unconcerned as
though he was "picking deer." Every time
ho brought his rifle to his shoulder a red-coat
bit the dust. At last he happened to attract
the attention of "Old llickoiy,"who supposed
he had become separated from his company,
aud roJu up to him to bring him behind the
redoubts, as he was iu a position that exposed
his person to the fire of the enemy.
"Hullo! my man, what regiment do you
Delong to t said lue General.
"Regiment, b 111" auswered Kontuck;
"hold on, yondcr's another of 'em 1" aud bring
ing big shooting-iron to his shoulder, he ran
his eye ulong the barrel a Hash followed ;
another Englishman came tumbling to tbe
ground.
"Whose company do you belong to?" again
inquired tho General.
"Compan, the d 1 P was the reply or Ken
tuck, as he busied bimself reloading ; "see
that or' Teller with the gold fixins on bis coat
and hoss? Jist watch me perforate him."
Tbe General gazed in the direction indica
ted by the rifle, aud observed a British colo
nel riding up and down the advancing co
lumns of the foe. Keutuck pulled the trigger,
and tho gallant Briton followed bis compan
ions that Kentuck bad luid Ion in death that
day.
Hurrah for old Kentuck 1" shouted the
free. fighter, as his victim came topling from
his horse ; then, turning to tbe General, he
continued, "I'm fighting oa my own hook,
stranger 1" and be leisurely proceeded to re
load. Bear Captured. Two or three weeks
ago, a young man named John Miller, on
Pine Creek, in company with another young
man named Hostramler went iuto the woods
for the purpose of salting a deer lick. As they
were passing through the woods, Hostramler
stopped and said to Miller, "There's a bear,"
at the same lime poiutiog his finger in the
direction of the object. Miller looked in tbe
direction pointed out and saw a bear, and
drew up bis guu and fired, striking tho bear
and killing it. Simultaneously wilh tho re
port of tho gun, down dropped another bear
from a tree. Miller threw down the empty
gun and look after the bet r through the brush.
After running about 200 yards, Miller came
up with the bear and making a spring at him
caught him by the ears. Mr. Bruiu used bis
paws with a right good will in the attempt to
shake oil his adversary. But notwithstanding
the bear's claws were making fearful incisions
into his arms and thighs, Miller held on until
Ins companion came up, when tney torn up
the bag in which tbey had their salt and tied
the bear and then getting a pole tbey fixed
him on it and bore him borne in triumph.

Ho however, retained his seat. A mass

Ihut he emerged from New York and was for

ING. .
When the dew is on the clover,
And the gorse in autumn bloom,
And the primrose beds all over
With acorn cuns are strewn :
And the lazy rocks sit cawing
High upon the tallest tree,
I lead my heifers, lowing,
io tne milking through tho lea.
Then calls to mo
The cuckoo tree j
And the blackbird at the dawning1,
Sing clear and ripe.
With his golden pipe,
. To the milking maid in the morning.
When the bloom is on the hean stolk, '
And the bare in green hedge-rows
Woshe her face with the dew-drops,
I call to mv new milch rows.
The partridge springs, on dewy wings,
Ana tue pueasant, under the bough,
Flashes the sheen of his purple rings,
As my milk-white h-ifora low.
And sings for mo,
In creun-woud ln-e,
The thostle fine at the dawning
And the sky-lark, he
Pipes cheerily
To the milking maid iu the morning.

Increase op a Potato. Some years aire a
gentleman visiting a farmer ":i Tolland, Ct.n-i
took from his pocket a small potulo, which
someliow got in tliere at home, it wua
thrown out with a smile, aud the farmer ta
king it in his hand to look at it, a curiou
little boy of twelve, stauuing at bis elbow,
asked him what it was. "Oh, said he, "ncth.
ing but a potato, my boy ; take and plant it
aud you shall have all you can raise from it
till you are or age. The lad took it, and the
farmer thought no more about it at the time.
Tbe boy, however, not dispising small pota
toes carefully divided it into as many pieces
ns it bad eyes aod put them iuto the ground.
The product was careluily put aside in the
fall and planted in the spritiir, and so ou till
the fourth year, when the yield beicg good, the
actual product was four hundred bushels.
The farmer, seeing tho prospect that the po
tato field would by another year cover his
whole farm, asked to bo released from his
promise. Genesee I'armer.
To CfHE Gates in Chickens. I think I
have found a certain and nt ihe same limn a
simple and safe cure for the little chick. Tbo
gapes are nothing more ihun a small collec
tion or red worms which inhabit tho wind
pipe, ubout the size of a pin ; they collect into
a knot, which finally sullocate the chicken
and it dies. Now, all that is necessary is to
remove these worms, nnd all is right. Thu
u.-.ual remedies, such as black and red pepper
mustard, turpentine, oil, Jcc can do no good,
as they cannot reach tho wiud pipe wheiu tho
trouble is.
My plan is simply to take a sma'i! quill and
divest it of tbo feathery part, excep a small
bunch at the tip end which 1 cut short, tlu
tia a thread to ibis end, catch llio chicken,
open its mouth, insert the quill in its wind
pipe, and give it a few turns ; the thread forms
a circle round the quill, wheu it can be with
drawn, end is sure to bring the worms with it.
1 have used it in a hundred cases and have
never known it to fail ouce, but it cured iui
mediately. His very simple at least, and,
costs only a little time aud patience. Cjc.
