The Shadow that Came Between.
It is morning at - Lucerne. Breathless under
the sorching rays of a summer Run lies the fair
lake—pride of four cantons. From its shores
begins the proceSsion of the bills ; dripping,
new-born, they spring from the water ; higher
and higher, psalc on peak they Ilse, dim,
shadowy, unreal, until at last—oh, heavenly
hills I —clennsed from all stain of earth, clothed
each in spotless white, they gain the skies.
The wide quay is almost deserted at this early
hour. A Few tourists, about to take the first
boat, stroll along beneath the trees, or leaning
over the low parapet, throw hits of stick or
stones, or it may be stray crumbs, Into the
water, where it is 11111N,,W ilk tiny darting fishes.

manly charms. Last in the procession creeps
an old woman, mumbling to herself. The
others were coarsely chid ; she is barely cov

suggestion of grace ; she is hideous. Bent
nearly double, she sees only the rough pavings
under the stumbling feet. Dear heart ! she

Across from this window are other windows,
roughly set into a house partly completed—au
incipient hotel. They open to the idle goer of
the young man only the length of an empty
room, with corresponding W indows at its thr
ther end. All at once, in its depth there is vis

there but one that seems to float in mid-air, to

flowed so far 'above his head. Over all the

stretching out benignant hands.
Ile turned away. He had parted with
friends that day, and this little scene of home
ly life brought a dragging pain akin to home
sickness. "Even the clown clinging to that
horse's mane has had a friendly word," he
thought bitterly. Within the room all was
still. The tall gray houses shut out the sky ;
the waning light stint in the gloom—the
silence and darkness that oppressed him to.

arms and weighed him down.
Suddenly—with the faint warning of a
sweeping robe, a light foot fall—a ripple of
music came from the next room as a hand

he remembered himself, and turned away ;
but the room was dark and silent no longer.
He scanned every face as he passed down
the length of the mile a manger, when the
hour for table d hale arrived. He was late.
There was hut one empty chair besides his

the vacant place, and as quickly the man who
billowed stood behind her chair. The face
was brown, too brown for a woman; the
hair—a heavy mass, half hiding the forehead
--was brit wipalso, and lusterless. A. certain
squareness of the chin and lower jaw oddly
contradicted the full lips, upon which was laid
the one bit of color in the whole face. The
eyes—full and slightly oblique—were lowered.
Whatever charm they held was theirs by
right ; there was no trickery of heavy, sweep

quitted the table, intercepted a waiter, pressed
a piece of money Into his hand, and asked a
question. The man left him, returning in a
moment.

Carrington, stepping back as the path nar

warfare that had once been waged even here.
The guide reached up and cut a branch from
one of the trees, which Ito gave into the hands
of the lady. She pulled at the green leaves
idly, or swept away the tiles that swarmed
about the head of the beast she rode.
" Monsieur travels for pleasure, perhaps."
" Yes and to see the world. Madame has

She shook her head

" I have knowngreat trouble," site said, her
eyes far rway from the distant mountains ;
but with the words a look more or terror than
of sorrow came over her face. Site turned
away her head.
" You need not hold the bridle now, guide;

" It will soon be narrow again," interposed
Carrington, "and these mules are hard-mouth

" Oh, no, no• '

for that I could have turned him easily. I

strong and to choose one's life."
"No one tines that." .
Oh, yes, even the women in you land I
With us it is so different." Again she shook
her head and seemed lost in thought. "Why,
they married me when I was only a child I"
she went on suddenly, almost fiercely. The
drooping, languid eyes opened wide and full,
the brown cheeks warmed, and the red lips
ior an instant were a single scarlet line over
the ciose•shut teeth. She drew a long breath
like a sigh.
But I forget; pardon, monsieur."
"Madame is afraid to trust a stranger."
The woman turned and looked down upon
Monsieur has a good face," she said,quite
simply.
"And do you think"—Catrington grew
suddenly hold—" that two people must know
each other years before they dare be friends?"
"Oh, no, no. They made the Marquis de
Croisy and me the greatest friends; they gave
me to be his wife, and I had never seen him
until that day !" A shiver passed over her.
"The Marquis de Croisy I" Carrington
heard only that name.
" Yes, monsieur—my huSband."
"Aim you were his wife?"
"There—monsieur knows?"
" I was at Lucerne a year ago,"
" Monsieur does not wonder that I desire to
forget ?"

'a flood of pity, of tenderness, sweeping over
him. 'Ho had passed the debatable land. He
ood in the valley now.
" Pardon, madame, the subject must be a
painful one," but he drew nearer. He laid his
hand upon the bridle, the feeling that he mus,
take care of her—which all men know—strong
in him now.
"It Is indeed a pain—a terror," she an
swered. " But one forgets after a time, they
say. To live and always remember would
kill, would it not, monsieur

plied gently. "And you have heard nothing
more ?"
" Of Henri ? No ; never anything more."
Again the look of terror stole over her face,
and attain she wrapped the shawl more closely
around her, as though she were cold.
They reached Lauterbrunnen. The Marquis
de Crotsy's carriage and a female . servant
awaited them. She offered Carrington a seat,
Rad they returned to Interlaken together.
"flow strange," exclaimed lie, when they
separated at the door of the hotel, "that we

away.

He sat by the open window one morning,
sipping his scalding chocolate. It was yet an
hour to the time when he was to meet Madame
in the salon. There was a charming ruin Just
out of the village, where they were to spend
the day. His guide-book and straw hat,
wreathed with a veil, were thrown upon a
chair near by. lie looked at his watch. There
.are hours with rusty, broken locks which re
fuse to open to the crowding joys that wait
beyond. This was one. He sipped his choco
late, yawned, looked again at his watch, read
the opening sentence descriptive of the charm:

been written In a lost language. Ile threw the
book down, and stretched himself out upon the
wide window-sill. Down below was the car

the way the blank eyes of another houso,taking

recollection of something seen, something.ielt

real, slowly out of the curdling shadows gath

head. It seemed to mutely wring its 'hands !
It vanished. Again—
Carrington rang the bell furiously.
" Who has the room over inine,?' •

"It is a lie ! It cannot be."
"It is quite true, sir. But are you Ir. I"
" No, no. When does the next omnibus

"It should be at the door in fifteen min

" Then pack these things. No ; bring me

Ile. made his preparations for departure
witifliand that seemed to bear a weight—so
heavy, so powerless they were. Then he
wrote a note to the Marquise do Crolsy, to be

Views of General Butler on the New
Treaty.
BOSTON, Mass., May 22.—General Butler
appeared before the Legislative Committee
on Federal Relations, and read a letter, mak
ing a twenty-four-page pamphlet, which he
had addressed to his son-in-law,Senator Ames,
of Mississippi, In which he elaborately re
views and generally condemns the treaty of
Washington.
Mr. Butler first criticises the settlement of
the fishery question, krt which he says: " Out
of the four hundred thousand barrels of macke
rel caught between Cape May or the thirty
ninth parallel and the northern extent of their
limit by our fishermen, only some 80,000 bar
rens were taken last year east of Maine in
all waters, British or other. In frankness it
should he stated that owing tunic annoyances
our fishermen have suffered, and from other
special causes, that catch was smaller than
usual, but it may be safely put at an average
not much exceeding 80,000 barrels.
"During the reciprocity treaty, and since its
abrogation, when flitting under full British li•
cense, our &berm= took something less than
one•fifttt their catch within the three-mile
line, so that the amount of the concession by
the present treaty to us is the right of Great
Britain to 5,000 barrels of mackerel when
swimming in the sea within three miles of her
shores. Now, as fishing is only about al5 per
cent, business, or, in other words, as 85 per
cent, of the value of fish taken consists in the
use of capital employed, labor expended in
taking, curing, packing, and preparing for
market, it will be seen how inconsiderable is
the right actually attempted to be ceded to us
by the present treaty. Its extent' is, in fact,
when reduced to money value, from $5,000
to $7,000 annually only." In this connection
the General continues : " I see it stated, in
what purports to be the protocol to the treaty,
that the American commissioners opened the
negotiations with an offer to pay $1,000,000
in gold for this right, or $OO,OOO annually for
all time for the right which' Nova Scotia of
fered to sell and did sell for $7,000 a year.
,Where our commissioners got their extraordi
nary valuations it is difficult to conjecture.
"It is not wonderful that the English com
missioners thought they hail something too
valuable to dispose of when Yankees would
offer a million dollars for the right to begin
with. As the Englishmen had ulterior objects
to he gained, they.would put nd money value
upon the fisheries, as they intended to force
open our ports by a 3 means."
Further, General Butler says ; " It cost the
British government $BOO,OOO to guard the right
of a value of $7,001' per annum,which amount
will be saved by the ratification of the treaty
to the Imperial Government and its adjuncts.
We are, by the provisions of the treaty, in ex-
change to permit for this $7,000 a.l British
fishermen to fish in all our waters for all kind's
of fish except shell fish and river fish, and to
laud on our shores to cure their fish and dry
their nets from the 41111 to the 30th parallel,or
from Eastport to the Delaware Bay." The
opening of our ports to British fish free of duty
and competition with British bounty . of 10
francs, and other features %f the treaty, the
General believes will substatztially ruin our
fishing interests.
n concluding this review of the fishery ques
tient, General Butler says : " Igneve,therefore,
that so complete nn abandonment of American
fishing interests should have been made by
our commissioners, and I trust the Senate will .
not ratify this portion or the treaty unless
there shall be found another portion sufficient
ly countervailing the advantages, so we can
afford this great loss. It is expressly stated
in the protocol, however, that the fishery ques-
lions were considered by themselves."
The remainder of Mr. Butler's letter is de
voted to the settlement for the depredations
on American commerce, the navigation of the
St. LawrenCe, and other matters embraced in
the treaty, all of which he criticises In no ap
proving spirit. •
A MANIAC'S FREAK AT SEA.—The Wil
mington, N. C., Star has the following : The
English brig Excel, commanded by Captain
George Davies, from Cardiff, loaded with rail
road Iron, was reported at Big Island shoals,
about fifteen miles down the river, this niter-
noon.
A report having reached this city in advance
of the vessel that a difficulty had occurred 4
hoard between the captain and first-mate, Mr.
Alex. bprunt, the British Vice Consul at this
port, despatched Dr. Vinants, the port physi
cian, together with others, to see if any medi
cal assistance was needed and to ascertain the
particulars - of the affair.
We learn that the mate, Mr. Hubbard,
makes the following statement : On the after
' noon of the Bth inst., IN hile he was sitting aft,
making a mat, the vessel being Men at sea,
Captain Davies came up to him suddenly,
picked up a knife which was lying by his side,
seized him by the hair , of his head and drew
the knife across his throat, giving hint a severe
wound. The wounded man then threw up his
hands to prevent a repetition of the blow with
the knife, when he received several severe cuts
on his fingers.
It is also stated, as we are informed by per
sons who heard the matter discussed on the
vessel, that the Captain, after he had accom
plished what he could with the knife, deliber
ately jumped over the stern of the brig Into
the sea, but that a rope being thrown to him,
he seized it, and was hauled safely on board,
still holding the weapon firmly in his hand.
His actions led to the belief that Captain Da
vies was laboring under a fit of temporary in
sanity.
Tue. contarst between the stubborn exclu
siveness of the Chinese and the liberal encour
agements given to civilization, as we teach
it, by the Japanese, exactly Indicates the in
tellectual difference between those races.
While China, content with the attainments
of a thousand yenta ago, expands its strength
in barring the door to foreign Intercourse,
Japan is opening her ports, granting fran
chises and stimulating commerce ; the China
men who come to title country, come only to
amass the little wealth necessary to die on
comfortably in the " flowery kingdom," while
the Jape, as we have learned to call them, are
crossing the Pacific in numbers to attend our
schools and colleges and take back the more
precious stores of wisdom. Their prominent
men visit us to catch the inspiration of our
inventive genius, and take back machines to
urge their own people to emulation. And In
the rank' of nations Japan will he to China
what England is to Spain.

A BRADY ANSWER.—It must have been
with Infinite chuckle, and many of what
Cooper describes as old Leatherstocking's
long, Inward lout h'ers, that Henry Ward
Beecher, during a late vacation, heard oue' of
his own published sermons delivered in an
obscure village. At the close of service he
accosted the "divine," and said—" That is a
very good discount; how long did it take you
to write It?"
"Oh, I tossed it off one evening when I had
leisure," was the reply. tr.
" Indeed I" said Mr. Beecher. "It took
me longer than that to think of the very frame
work of that very sermon." •
" Are yon Henry Ward Becher ?"•
"I am," was the reply.
" Well, then," said the unabashed preacher
"all that I have to say Is thot 1 ain't ashamed
to preach one of yoar sermons anywhere I"

THE ROBIN
My old Welsh neighbor over the way
Crept slowly out In the eon of spring,
Pushed from her ears the locks of gray,
And listened to hear the robin sing. •
Her grandson, playing at marbles,
stopped,,
And cruel lu sport, as boys will be,
'Tossed a steno at am bird, which hopped
From bough to bough In the apple tree. ,
•
" Nay I" said the grandmother, hay', you not
heard,
My poor bad boy !of the fiery pit •
And how, , drop by drop, this merciful bird
Carries the water that quenches it? . •
He brings cool dew In his little bill,
And It , all on the souls of sin:
You can see the mark on bin red breast still
Of fires that scorch as ha drops it In.
My poor Bron rhuddyn ! my breast•burned bird,
Singing so sweetly from limb to limb,
Very dear to the heart of our Lord
Is he who pities the lost like Elim !"
" Amen !" I said to the beautiful myth ;
' Bing, bird of God, in my heart as well ;
Each good thought la a drop, wherewith
To cool and !men the fires of hell.
Prayers of love like raindrops fall,
Tears of pity are cooling dew,
And dear to the heart of our Lord aro all
Who suffer like him in the good they do!"

THE EARL ITDAYS OE DELSAILTE.
The autumn of 1829 found him a shabby,
almost ragged applicant for employment at the
stage•door of the Opera Comique. Repeatedly
rebuffs failed to bailie his desperate pertina
city.
One day the director, hearing-of theannoy
ones to which his subordinates were subject
ed by Delsaac, determined to abate the nuis
ance by one of those cruel coupe•de main of
which Frenchmen are pre•eminontly capable.
Tho next night, during the performtince.
when Misrule called, ho was, to his surprise
and delight, shown into the great man's pres
ence.
" Well, sir, what do you want ?"
" Pardon, Monsieur. I came to seek a
place at your theatre."
" There is but one vacant, and you don't
seem capable of filling that. I want only a
call boy."
" Sir, I am prepared to fill the position of a
premier sujet among your singers."
" Imbecile!"
" Monsieur, it my clothes are poor, my art
is genuine."
"Nell, sir, if you will sing for me, I will
hear you shortly."
He left Delsarte alone, overjoyed at having
e'cured the manager's ear. In a few mo
ments a surly fellow told him ho was wanted
below, and he soon found himself with the
manager upon the stage behind the green cur
tain.
" You are to sing here," said the director.
"There is your piano. In one moment the
curtain will be rung up. lam tired of your
importunities. 1 give you one chance to
show the stuff you're made of. If you dis•
card this opportunity, the next time you show
your face at my door you shall be arrested
and Imprisoned as a vagrant."
The indignation excited In DeWitt° by this
'cruel trick instantly gave way before the re
flection that success was a matter of life and
death with him, and that perhaps his last
chance lay within his grasp. He forgot his
rags ; every nerve becathe iron ; 'and when
the curtain was rung up, a beggar with the
bearing of a prince advanced to the foot
lights, was received wills derisive laughter by
some, wills glances of surprise and indig
nation by others, and, with a sad and patient
smile on his countenance, gracefully saluted
the liFilliant audience. The courtliness of
his manner disarmed hostility ; but when he
sat down to the piano, ran his fingers over
the keys. and sang a few bars, the exquisite
voice found its way to every heart. With
every moment his voice became more power
ful. Each gradation of emotion was rendered
with an ease, an art, an expression, that made
every heartstring vibrate. Then lie suddenly
stopped, bowed, and retired. , The !tense rang
with bravos. The dress.cirele forgot its
reticence, and joined In the tumult of ap
plause. Ito was recalled. This time he sang
a grand lyric composition with the full vol
ume of his voice, aided in effect by those im
perial gtistures of which he Lad already dis
covered the secret. The audience were elec
trified. They declared that Talma was resus
citated . But when lie was a second time re
called his tragic mood had melted, there were
"tears In his voice",as well as on his cheeks.
After the fall .of the curtain, the director
grasped Isis hand, loaded him with compli
ments, and offered him an engagement for a
year at a salary of tell thousand francs. He
went home to occupy Isis wretched attic for
the last time, and, falling on his knees,
poured forth his soul in prayer.—Allaisfir

11motnvEtt he goes, on whatever errant
bent, Horace Oreely is sure to leave his . pecu
liar mark, which ho makes alike with his mind
and his pen. The telegraph has already in
formed us of the points of hjs recent New Or
leans speech, and of the good impression
which it appeared to exert upon his auditors.
The Pycayune of that city now gives us an
other illustration of the remarkable Influence
of the philosopher of the illegible chirography
over the dwellers in the Crescent City. ••It
says : _
"The hotel register in the St. Charles hf
proving an object of more than usual attrac
tion. Since the visit of Horace Greely it is
almost constantly scrutinized by considerable
numbers of the curiously iodised, who, it ap
pearsi take a special pleasure in examining
the sign manual of our late visitor. There
is, 'however, in our opinion, little thatmay be
considered approaching the extraordinarily
queer in his signature. Ills Christian—or
rather his pagan—name, Horace, is written
so plainly that even a school-boy would find
no difficulty in deciphering it. The sirname,
Greely, Is somewhat puzz lag. At the first
glance it appears to read 'Erelley.' At closer
Inspection, however, the bold strokes of the
veteran journalist can, with the aid of some
guessing, be joined together so as to leave no
doubt as to the Identity of the name. It is a
characteristic signature—characteristic of the
man, who, above many others, deserves to he
classed among the self-made men of our age."
Well, we are glad to know that the good
people of New Orleans succeeded in decipher.
ing the cabalistic signature. Mr. Greely went
South with the firm intention of understand
ding and being understood. Hence, we sup
pose, the extreme carefulness with which he
wrote his name as well as uttered his
opinions. But the Picayune is perfectly cor
rect In calling it "a characteristic signature."
Except for the extra pains which ho evidently
Wok with it,out of respect to his entertainers,
It would have been as unintelligible as the
Congressional Democratic Address or a Speech
from Frank Blair.
