And he conical not like a thief In the night, But with banners lifted high. tic callethlhe North wind out o' North To blow him a signal blast,. And to plow the air with a fiery share, And to SOW the sparks broadcast. No fear bath he of the arm of flesh, • And be maketh the winds to cry, Let come who will to this awful hill And his strength against me try So quick those sparks along the land Into blades of flame have sprung; So quick the piteous face of Heaven With a veil of black Is hung: And men are telling the news with words, And women with tears and sighs. And the children with the frightened souls Thit are staring from their eyes. `. Death,•denth is holding a holocaust ! And never was seen such a pyre— I lead packed to head anti above them spread Full forty feet of fire !" From hill to hill-top runs the cry, Through farm and village and town, And higher and higher—" The mine's on fire ! Two hundred men sealed down ! .Iml not with the dewy hand o' th' earth, And not with the leaves of the trees— Nor is it the eaves that roof their graves— Oh no, It Is none ofthese— From sight and sound walled round and round— For God's Hake haste to the pyre In the black coal-beds, and above their tirade Full forty feet of fire!" And now the villages swarm like bees, , And the miners catch tho sound, And climb to the land tvith their picks in hand Front their ehamhers in the ground For high and low and rich and poor, To a holy lnstinet true, and forth to if 1111 hearts were one And tremble through and through. I, side by chic they roll like a title, And the voice grows high and higher, Come woe, come weal, we must break the seal Of that forty feet of Tire!" Now cries of fear, shrill, fur and near. And - a palsy shakes the hands, Anil the blood runs cold, for behold, behold The gap where the enemy stands ! 0 never hail painter scenes to paint So ghastly and grim as these— Mothers that comfortless sit on the ground With their babies on their knees ; The brown checked )ad aunt the maid so sad As the grandame anti the sire, And 'twixi them all and their loved, that wall— That terrible wall of lire 1 And the grapple begins and the foremost net Their lives against death's laws, And the blazing timbers catch in their arab; And bear them off like siraws. They have lowered the 'taunting dog from its place They will die in the gap, or nave For this they have done, whatc'er be won— They have conquered fear of the grave. They have baffled—have driven the enemy, Aild with better courage strive ; Who knoweth," they say, "God'a mercy to-day, And the souls he nut)* nave alive!" So now the hands have d lgged through the brands— They see the awful stairs, And there falls a hush that is only stirred Ily the weeping woolen's prayers. '• Sow who will peril his limb and life, • In the damps of the dreadful mine 7" • "1, L and I !" a dozen cry, As they forward step from line! And down front the light and o' th' sight, Man after man they go, And now arises tit' unanswered cries As they heat on the doors below. And night came down—what a woful night Ts the youths and maidens fair. What a night in the lives of the miners' wive?' At the gate of a dumb despair. And the stars have set their solemn watch In silence o'er the hill, And the children sleep:lnd the women weep And the workers work with a will. And so the hours drag on and on, And so the night goes hy, And at last the East is gray with dawn, 'And the sun is In the sky. !lark, hark ! the barricades are down, • ' The torchlights further spread, The doubt is past—they are found at last— Dead, dead ! two hundred dead ! Face, close to face, In a long embrace, And the young and faded hair— Gold over the snow as It meant to show Love staid beyond despair. Two hundred men at pester morn 'With the work of the world to strive; Two hundred yet when the day was set, And not a soul alive! 0 long the brawny Plymouth men, Ac they sit by their winter fires, Shall tell the tale of Avondale And its awful pyre of pyres. Shall hush their breath and tell how death His Ilat did widely wave, And how .;Itroutls of smoky clouds The miners fought in their graves. And how in still provession They paasl front that fearful glen, And there shall he wail in Avondale, For the brave Iwo hundred men. Neu , York Weekly NIGII TO DEATH From my childhood I have followed the sea. My father had been a sailor before me, and I have followed in his footsteps. I have braved the tempests, and encountered the dangers and toils of the life of a sailor. I have crossed the ocean front port to port, and during the fiercest storms have climbed the toasts and reefed the sails in the very jaws of death, yet I came safe through them all. I was considered a brave, unyielding sailor—one who would not flinch to grapple with death itself`; is fact; as I now glance back it seems as though I have encountered it often, but miraculously resisted its spell. At one thus, however, I thought my last hour had come. shudder even now at the remembrance of hough it was several years ago, and when was in the prime of life ; but now my gray hairs prove that I am well advanced in years. It was on a pleasant day in June that I ac cepted the position of mate on the strong and beautifully built slap, "La Belle" I had made several voyages in her previous to the present one. She had on board a large cargo of merchandise which we were to convey to a South American port, where was established a branch of a large business house of New York. With n fair breeze we weighed anchor and sailed out upon the broad sheet of water that stretched before us as far as the eye could see. The moon was beginning to cast her silvery light upon the sea ns the land !Med from our For several days we had favorable weather, and fine prospects of a successful voyage, but on the seventh qr eighth day there were indi cations of a,storm. The sea became calm and the wind died almost, away. . This continued for an hour or more, when the wind gradually arose to a perfect gale ; the sea became ruffled, and toward the cast n long ridge of dark, om inous clouds was discernable. We knew that a tierce storm would soon be upon us, and accordingly prepared. the vessel to meet it. At first a low rumbling. sound was heard, which grew louder as the dark rolling clouds approached us, and the forkdd streaks of lightning fairly blinded us as the rain began t o descend in a perfect stream, and the wind to grow stronger, the sea to become of a dark, purple hue, and the thunder to increase in power. It was a terrible storm, but by skill ful management we rode through it safely ; but the vessel was considerably damaged, so touch so that we would be compelled to lay up for a week or snore at the first port to have it repaired before we could proceed on our jour ney• We were thankful, hosVever, that we escaped with so little damage. The weather remained pleasant after rho Blom, and in several days we entered the port of a thriving little village on the coast of South America, where we anchored, and the next day begets the work of repairing the damaged parts of the vessel. About a week or ten days after entering the porto ‘ ind while the carpenters and sailors were still at work upon the vessel, the captain and myself concluded to takcour rifles and spend a day or two in hunting ; besides giving us a little recreation, the time , which otherwise would be oppressive would be lively and per haps exciting, therefore, in company with one of the natives, who was to act as guide, and with whom I had become acquainted while stopping at the village on several previous voyages, we started, leaving the vessel in the care of the second mate. It was on a beautiful morning in the latter part of dune, or the first of July, that we set out, fully equipped for our sport. After sev eral hoUrs, and Just as the sun was beginning to show itself in the east, we arrived upon a bank of a small stream that turned and sparkled beneath a thick growth of trues and under wood. This spot was considered by the na• tives to be one of the favorite haunts of some' of the wildest animals of South America. After a short rest we examined our ammu nition and "messengers of death,'' prepara tory to entering into our work. Mine was a common double-barrelled rifle ; the captain's was a large, heavy musket. The only weapon the guide had secured was a club, knotty and and crooked at one end, with a long, slim handle, and very heavy, but could be skillfully managed by the natives. We had uttered him several, to us, more reliable weapons for him to choose from, which he declined. We after wards learned that he with this simple weapon could do more than we with our more seien title ones. The stream some distance north of us took an abrupt turn and ran for a mile or so in a westerly direction. We concluded to ascend the stream to a point where the guide assured Us many of the denizens of the forest came to quench their thirst. After a brisk walk we teached the spot—a lovely one ; the stream ran along with scarcely a ripple, and the un derwood grew thick on all sides with no opening at all, except about midway on the t 3 °till' bank; this was a narrow path well worn. Here, the guide informed us, we would be very likely to meet our prey. We secreted ourselves near the path, and as quietly as pos sible listened and waited for the least sound that would reach our ears. We had not long to wait, for ere long we heard the regular step of something approach ing along the path, but what it was we could not then form any idea. We waited quietly, however, until it suddenly came to view on the bank of the stream. For a moment we were a little surprised ; we hardly expected to encounter such a formidable the, for it was nothing less than a jaguar, a large, ferocious animal, resembling somewhat the tiger. But we soon recovered trout our surprise, and after short decisive encounter came•forth the vic tors, our prey lying upon the bank weltering in its blood. It was a beautiful animal, with a coat ()NI:Ur long and as soft as Bilk. The guide and the captain began immediately to remove the fur from the carcass of the unfortunate beast. While they were thus engaged I strolled along the bank in search of more gatne. The scenery beyond the curve in the stream was beautiful: on either hand grew the thick ver dure in profusion, in the midst of which sparkled and danced the stream as it proceeded upon its journey. For sometime I strolled along its bank, admiring the scenery around, at the same time keeping a sharp lookout and list'. fl ing for any sound that Would reach my cam. I continued on until I neared a green grassy spot beneath a large shady tree. Being worn out with my long, tiresome walk, I took the nviting seat, and leaning my rifle against time trunk of the tree, resolved to take a moment's rest ere returning to my companions, who were not over two hundred rods away, but who were hidden from my view by the abrupt curve of which I have spoken. ' 1 hail been seated a short time, and was be coming somewhat refreshed, when I. heard distinctly, within a yard of me, a kind of creeping, dragging sound. I turned my eyes in the.direction from whence the sound pro ceeded, when—oh e horror! the cold chills ran over me and left me us bereft of power to move as a bar of iron: My eyes became trans fixed upon those of a large, hideous semen uot a yard away, and which held its head about a Mot from the ground, and its eyes gleamed and sparkled like coals of tire as its gaze was riveted to mine, and the forked tongue prot rutted from its head as it gradually neared me. For a moment I was unconscious of all else except this deathly monster, but presently my mind, became clear, yet .! still remained as nmtionless us death. I was versed in the habits and peculiarities Of this species of reptile and knew that if I made the slight est movement it would be a sign tbr the ser pent to spring and crush me with its shinny body. For nearly an hour I remained thus, trans fixing the serpent with my steady gaze, expe riencing all the horrors my precarious posi tion could produce. The serpent was now within a foot of where I sat, but still my eyes remained motionless, and a feeling possessed mu which pen cannot describe. Were I for a moment to turn for my rifle or to flee he would spring out and crush no before I could cry for help or make any resistance. I had a faint lame that before My strength would en tirely fail me, the captain or the guide, becom ing alarmed at my long absence, would ascend the stream and rescue one from my perilous position. Ten minutes more passed away, which seemed an age to me. I felt my strength gradually grow less ; still the serpent's eyes glittered and sparkled as they remained bound as if by magic spell beneath the piercing gaze of mine. Were I to move them the spell would be broken, and my fate would be sealed; yet I knew I could not remain thus much longer. Even now I was weak ; my eyes were becoming heavier and heavier., At last I could control them no longer ; and, •,cith afliought that my last hour haul they closed, anilon the instant I heard a rush ing suund, as of something moving swiftly through the air, and immediately afterwards felt the body of the serpent armind tile. Then all became dark. • I must have fainted ; and when I again returned to consciousness I was lying near the stream, with the captain and. guide kneeling be'side me, and the serpent a few feet away, lifeless is the weapon which killed it. . . . For a while I could not speak, my strengtlol vas too much exhausted ;. but gradually it re- tuned, and I soon learned how my lire had Mr= The captain and guide, as I had hoped, lie came alarmed at my long absence, and fol lowed up the stream to learn the cause. On turning the curve they saw the position I was in, and advanced to the rescue. And not a Moment too soon ; for the whizzing sound I heard was the club of the guide as it descend ed on the head of the snake, and laid it sense less at his feet. Thus it was I hail been almost : miraculously saved from a most horrible death. After securing the skin of the 'serpent, which measured solne twenty feet in length, and proved to lie of the species known as the •bOa constrictoe—one of the largest and most deadly serpents—we returned to the vessel, and the next day weighed anchor and proceeded on our voyage. I have never had occasion to visit that port since, but, nevertheless, I shall never forget the hour I was nigh to death. 11 WESTERN paper reports a clergyman as having " taken a contract for revival preach ing" in Davenport, lowa, and it states that. he has just " concluded a successful engage ment" at Bock Island.

THE LAST OF TIIE STAGE COACHMAN. " in !" cried the stage agent, as he turn ed the handle of the door.

I have been eight years come next Sep tember, driving on this route, and this is my only means of supporting my family ?" " You are.then married " Yes, sir ; I have been married for five years and a little better, and have a little curly headed rogue that knows almost as much as his father, and one of the prettiest little babies perhaps you ever laid your eyes on, sir." I smiled at the naivete with which he said this. lie detected the expression of my eye, and coloring, he Shook the lines and cracked his whip—although his team were doing their best over the level road—like the report of a pistol in the ears of his bay leaders, and after it momentary pause, continued apologetically: " Why, I didn't mean to flatter myself when I said it was pretty, sir ; although I do say it favors its hither." " I have no doubt that it is as lovely as you represent, • ' I replied, "and that, nevertheless, it' it resembles yourself." The shades of evening were falling around us, and we had just commenced the assent of a long bill clothed with the forest trees, which overhung the road, enveloping it in gloom. The spell of twilight had fallen uphn toy com panion, and in imagination he was beside his young wife with his " little rogue" and lovely babe upon his knee ! Suddenly he turned, , and bmking hill in the face, said respect fully, and with interest— .\ re you married, sir, if I may be go hold,?!

I Mechanically ejaculated, "thou art well called glary . !" The night set in dark, and we were near the end of the stage route, where we were .to change horses and striver. A. little village NV:IS before us, with a light twinkling here and there from the dwellings on the road side. The horses new forward with increased speed, the wheels whirled rapidly along the smooth turnpike, and loud and frequent reports of the Jong lash Were heard of the leaders. We were entering the native village of my sentimental and happy companion upon the coach-box. " Do you see that light, sir ?" he inquired with a tune of pleasure. I looked the direc tion indicated with his setup. One light burn ed higher, brighter, and more cheerful than the rest. "That bright light is in M try's window,' • he said ; "she always sits there waiting for my return. Now, sir, ! will gladden he ;heart." As he spoke he drew his stage born from a pocket in which it hung, and placing It to his lipspew a long and cheerful blast. The horses ns if catching inspiration front the sound, darted ahead with renewed swiftness, and the next moment the coach wheels were rattling merrily over the paved streets of the quiet vil lage. The stage rolh•d along the avenue-like street mind stopped before the door of the principal hotel. The driver dismounted, and surren tiered his box to another with a harsh voice and vulgar manners. I disliked him at once, I and determined to go no farther that night, for toy curiosity was roused to see noire of my. new friend. " Conchman,". I said to hint, "you have I created an interest in me ; I wish to go with I you to your house': I should he gratified in witnessing your domestic bliss. "Nothing would mak' me happier," he re plied ; I was wishing to . ask the honor of you, vet was afraid it would lie too bold in me." - " All ready, gentlemen ;" said the new coachman, ascending the box. We are wait for you, sir." " Pitch me my valise, driver; I shall go no farther to-night." • The valise, with a heavy sound. accompa nied by nn oath from the driver, struck the II gallery, and with a flourish and crack of the whip the stage rolled away from the Inn, leav, ing me standing beside my friend the Benedict. After having engaged a room for the night at the inn, I was, In a fiiw minutes, on my way to the cottage of the happy husband. A quarter of a mile from the inn, -we turned In to a narrow and shady lane, at the termina tion of which, a light gleamed steadilya beacon of love, guiding thin married man to his young bride. We had walked half way to the hour; when the gate of the flower garden was thrdwn open a graceful female hastily advanced toward us, her white dress glanced in the moon, which was just rising above the trees ; our figures at the moment, were partly concealed, mine wholly so, in the shadow of an elm that over spread the path. " Henry, is It you ?" shta darted forward and threw herself into his arms. "Two whole days, you have been gone, and I have been so lonely." Xs she spoke she drew back from his arms, which had encircled her, to gaze in to his ?lice, her eyes full of love, when the form of a stranger caught her eye. I was gaz ing upon her fair face in undisguised admira• tion ; her beauty softened by the moonlight, seemed angelic. "Sir, I beg your pardon," she said; while her blushing brow was visible, even in the moonlight. "Henry, why didn't you tell me some one was w ith you ?" she added, with playful reproo , half ashamed that a stranger's eye should n rk the fervor of her • devotion to her - Intsbi nd and lover. We passed through the neat white gate, along it pebbly walk bordered with flowers, and entered the cottage, a simple snow White dwelling adorned with a humble portico, half hidden in the honeysuckle and woodbine. With a courtesy I was ushered into their hap py abode. A room on the right of the hall served the young and frugal housewife as a sitting-room and kitchen. The floors were snow white, the furniture plain and neat. Simplicity and taste reigned over every do mestic arrangement. Under II small mirror placed against the wall, stood a side-table spread with a white cloth, on which was laid the evening meal. She would not itr. take without her husband ! The little ones had long betbre taken their bread and milk, and were sleeping soundly—" the rogue•' in a crib by the stile of a bed visible in an adjoin ing room—the infant in a cradle by tin table. I partook, with the happy pair, of their evening meal, which remained religiously un touched after we were seated, until the lovely wife, sweetly and devotionally, sought the Divine blessing upon it. After supper, the sleeping infant Was placed in my arms by the fond father. It was indeed a lovely child—a sleeping cherub ! The eldest, a chubby, rosy checked urchin, of some four years growthin mischief, was also taken from the inner room and shown to me. It was a beautiful, curly locked fellow, the miniature of its father. I told him so, and he smiled delightfully, while hi seharming wife's face beamed more happily than if the compliment had been paid to her self. That niglit, after kneeling with them around the altar, and listening to a petition from the young husband, which, for its spirit of devotion and humble faith, I have seldom known equalled, I returned to my hotel, and laid my head upon my pillow, a happier and a better man. STATION - HOUSE LODGERS In the more recently constructed station houses, especial provision has been made for the class. The cells here occupy the ground flb of a rear building,. and the second room is divided into two rooms of about twenty feet snore each. Separate apartments are thus obtained for the accommodation of male and female lodgers. In equipment these rooms are essentiallyprimitive. Not a chair, or stool, or bench, or ,eler appliance to civilized life adorns them, except that they contain an int- mense stove standing in the centre, and a bunk placed slightly inclined against one of the walls. The store gives the coveted warmth to all and the bunk will accommodate about twenty ; and the beggar(' lodgers com ing in late 'mist Ix , content with an exactly horizontal bed upon the stone floor. But it is not much of a worm that the early bird man ages to secure. Ile can merely assert his choice between the inclined and horizontal and decide upon the relative softness .or stone and wood. There are no mattresses to quar rel over, and no bed-clothing to beet vetttion. In one respect the rooms are luxuriously ac coutred. By dint of constant attention they are kept scrupulously clean. The floors and bunk are daily washed out with a hose, and the walls arc kept fresh and glaring by fre quent whitewashing. Any thing less pala tial than the New York lodgings for vagrants call not he imagined ; but there - is not a cold - night but men and women are turned away from nearly every station-house, because the accommodations are already overtasked. Every such night as soon as darkness sets in, the lodgers begin to arrive. ''hey come pairs, and sometimes in groups. They are of both sexes, all ages, nationalities. and, it might almost be said, of all conditions. Very few arc actually and obtrusively ragged but are dressed in clothes that evidently had seen long service before they reached the last wearers. • The men generally are devoid of shirts and socks, with the glazed and thread bare coat fastened - tiLhtly acro:s the breast, and the nude ankles,•blew with tole, showing abovcthe dilapidated shoes. The wumru have the faded remnant of a cheap, shawl wrapped about the shohlders, and a single skirt and a thin calico dress the only protec tions of the lower limbs. The children are the saddest sights of all. They have not learned the art of securing the east-elf vest ments of their betters ; tend little girle some times enter the station-houses with no apparel save the-remnant of Wsummer dress, and .so nearly frozen that they can mit express their requests for lodgings in words. But all of gie corners are not of the abject class. Dc• ctlyo 'gentility very frequently pushes back the swinging doors ; and during the past win ter it often happened that gentility itself was an applicant for relief. Scores and scores of turn then walked Broadway with the outward semblance of prosperity, but maintaining a ghastly conflict with absolute destitution, and sleeping in the station-houses. Very often, too, among the applicants are persons from the country who have fallen among the thieves and been robbed of their all ; and it not un frequently happens that men hobble in on crutches or dangling an empty sleeve., who have given their country au arm or leg, and have'received in return the cold charity of the streets.—Edward Crapsey, in Harper's Maga zine for October. MARRYING UNDER. DIFFICUL TIES. Francis Edgar Dawes, is the name of a thrif ty young farmer of Setae Clara county. Last spring the Yong thriller, catching the conta gious fever that pervaded all the •miks of na ture, became smitten timing'', and through with the delicious sickness of the tender pas sion. Miss Jane Elizabeth Frost, a charniing young lady of San Jose, was the object or the yotithful farmer's devotion. She was not quite sixteen, and might fairly be considered as'" o'er young to marry yet." Probably she would have taken this view of the cesa herself had there not been special reasons urging her to yield to the importunities of her lover. But there was a stepmother in the case. Miss Frost was not happy In her home, and the new home offered her by the stal wart young farmer seemed to her a desira ble refuge from the jars and discords of the ROBERT [REDELL, JR.,.
