THE WHITE ISLAM).
In this world, the Isle of Dreams,
While e sit by sorrow's fit reams,
Tear and terrors are our themes,
Reciting ;
But when once from here we fly.
Here and mote approaching nigh,
I'uto yoang eternity,
Uniting;
In that whiter bland, where
Thing are evermore sincere
Candor here and lustre there
Delighting ;
There no nionstrou? terrors shall
Out of hell a horror call,
To create or cause at all
Affrighting ;
There in calm and cooling; fcleep
W'e our eyed shall never steep,
But eternal watch shall keep.
Attending ;
Pleasures, such as shall puruo
Me immortalized, and you
And fresh joys, as never to
Have ending.
A HIGHT OF TEAE3.
Some forty years since, in the inferior of
my native State, New York, lived the fath
er of our heroine, an honest and respectable
farmer. He had but two children Lucyt a
noble girl of nineteen, and Kllen, a year or
two vouneer. The first was willingly rather
than strikingly beautiful. Urd-r a manner
observable for its. seriousness and nun like
serenity was concealed an impassioned na
ture, and a heart of the deepest capacity for
loving. She was remaikable for a voice of
thrilling and haunting sweetness.
Ellen Dutton was the brilliant antipode of
her fcUter, a "born beauty," whose preroga
tive of beauty was to have her own way in
all things and at all times. An indulgent
lather, a weuk mother, and an idolizing sis
ter.all unconsciously contributed to the ruin
of a nature not at first remarkable for
strength or generosiry.
Where, in all God's creatures, is heart
lessneas so seemingly unnatural, is selfish
ness so detestable, as in a beautiful woman?
Lucy possessed a fine intellect, and as her
parents were both real New Englanders. she
and her sUter were far better educated than
ether girls of her situation in that then half
settled country.
In thoe days, many engaged in school
teaching from the honor and pleasure it af
forded rather than from necessity. Thus,
after a few months previous to the com
mencement of our story, Lucy Dutton left
for the first time her fireside circle, to take
charge of a school muic twenty miles from
her native town.
I For some time her letters home were ex
pressive only of the contentment which
sprang from tho conseiomness of active use
fulness of receiving while imparting good.
Hut anon came a change. Then were those
record home characterised by fitful gaiety
or dreaiy sadness ; indefinable hopes and
f'r seemed struggli'g for suprcmaoy a
the writer's troubled heart. Lncy loved, but
scarcely acknowledged it to herself, while
she knew not that she was loved. So, for
time, that second birth of woman's nature
was like a warm sunrise struggling with the
roM mists of the morning.
Hut one day brought a letter which could
cot be forgotten in the houie of the absent
one, and a letter traced by a hand that trein
tied in sympathy with a heart tumultuous
with happiness. Lucy had been wooed and
won, and she but awaited her parents' ap
jroval of her choice to become the betroth
ed of KJwin W , a man of excellent family
aad standing in the town where she had been
teaching. The father and mother accorded
their sanction with many blessing, and Lu
cy's next letter promised a speedy visit from
the lovers.
To such natures as L icy's, what an ab
sorting, and yet what a revealiug of self, is
a first passion what a prodisraltty of giving,
what an incalculable wealth of receiving
what a breaking up i there of the deep wa
ters of the soul, and 11IW heaven descends
in sudden star-showers on life I .If there is a
s- a-on when an angel may look with interest
upon her mortal sister, it is when she be
holds her heart pais from its bud like inno
cence and girlhood, and taking to its very
core the fervid light of love, glow an l eriin
f 'Q into perfect womanhood.
At last the plighted lovers came, and wel
comes and festivities awaited them.. Mr.
gave entire satisfaction to father, mol h
?r. and even the exacting "beauty." He
a handsome man, with some pretentions
to fashion, but in manner, and apparently in
character, the opposite of his betrothed.
It was decided that Lucy should not again
leave home until after her marriage, which,
&t the request of the ardent lover, was to be
celebrated within two months, and on the
birthday of the bride. It was therefore ar
tanced that Eilen should return with 31 r.
i to like charge of her sister's school
for the remainder of the term.
The bridal day had come. It had been
ciiired in by a May morning of surpassing
loveliness ; the busy hours had worn away,
&n j neither the bridegroom not Ellen, the ,
first bridesmaid, had appeared.
1 in her neat little chamber, sat Lucy,
doubting. She was all ready, in a simple
bite muslin, anj uer few hridal ornaments'
J3? on the table by her sick. Mis Allen,
r second bridesmaid, a blue eyed," affeo
''onate girl, her chosen friend from child
was arranging to a more graceful fall
t!e wealth of light ringlets which swept Let
wowy necfe. To' the anxious inquiries of
companion, respecting tha absent ones,
srailod and replied t ' -
'Oh, o me thing has happened to detain i
'ten iwbiW ; we heard from them tha oth
er day, and all was well. They will be here
by and by, never fear."
Evening came, the guests were assembled,
and yet the bridegroom tarried." There
were whispers, surmises and wonderings, and
a bhadow of anxiety passed over the lace of
the bride elect. At last a carriage drove
rather slowly to the door.
"They have come !" cried ' many voices,
and Ellen entered. In reply to the hurried
snd confused inquiries all around him, Mr.
W muttered something about "unavoida
ble delay," and stepping up to the side
board tossed over a glass of wine, another
and another. The company stood silent!
with amazement. Finally a rough old far
mer exclaimed, "better late than never; so
lead out the bride."
W strode hastily across the room and
placed himself by Ellen and took her band
in his. Then, without daring to meet the
eye of any about him, be said : "I wish to
make an explanation I am under (he pain
ful necessity that is, I have the pleasure to
announce that I am already married. The
lady whom I now hold by the hand is my
wife."
Then turning in an apologctical manner to
Mr. and Mrs. Dutton, he added : " I found
that I never loved until I knew your second
daughter,"
And Lucy ! She heard all with a strange
calmness, and then walking steadily forward,
confronted her betrayers. Terrible, as pale
of Neuiisses herself, she stood before them ;
and her looks pierced like a keen cold blade
nto their false hearts. A though to assure
herself of the dread reality of the vision, she
laid her hand on Eilen's shoulder, and let it
glide down her arm but she touched not
Edwin. As those cold fingers met hers, the
unhappy wife gazed full iuto her sister's face,
and she marked the ghastly color of her
check, the dilated nostril, the quivering lip,
and the intensely mournful eyes, she covered
her own face with her hands-, and burst into
tears, while the young husband, awed by the
terrible silence of her he had wronged, gasp
ed for breath and staggered back against the
wall. Then Lucy clasped her band on her
forehead and first gave voice to her anguish
and despair in one fearful cry, which could
not but forever ring in the souls of that guil
ty pair, and fell into a death like swoon, at
their f.er.
""After the insensible girl had Irt'n removed
to a chamber, a stormy scene ensued in the
room beneath. The parents and guests were
alike enraged against W ; but tears and
prayers of his young wife, the petted beauty
and spoiled child, at last softened somewhat
the anger of the parents, and an opportuni
ty for an explanation was accorded .to the
offenders.
A sorry explanation it proved. The gent
leman affirmed that the first sight of Ellen's
lo cly face had awakened tho emp:re
of her plainer sister over - his affections.
Fre'iuent interviews had completed the con
quest of his loyalty ; but he had been held
in check by honor, and never told his love
until when on his way to espouse another.
in an unguarded moment, he revealed it, and
the avowal ha 1 called forth an answering ac
knowledgment from Ellen.
They had thought it bc-t, in order to
"save pain to Lucy," and the opposition
frjfli. her.and to secure their own happuess,
to be married before their arrival at C .
Lucy remained insensible for some time.
When she revived and apparently regained
her consciousness, she still maintained her
strange silence. This continued for many
weeks, when it partially passed away, her
friends saw with inexpressible grief thither
reason had fled that she was hopeless'y
insane. But her madness was of a mild and
harmless nature. She was gentle and peace
able as ever.but frequently sighed and seem
ed burdened with some great sorrow which
she could ii t herself comprehend. She
had one p-cu'iurity which all who knew her
must recollect ; this was a wild fear and
careful avoidance of men.- She seemed pos
sessed of a spirit of unrest. She could not
be confined, but wus continually escaping
from her friends, they knew not whither.
While her parents lived, they by their
care and unwearied efforts, in some measure
controlled this unfortunate propensity; but
when they died their stricken child became
a wanderer.homeless. friendless and forlorn.
Through laughing ypriugs and rosy sum
mers, tramp, tramp, tramp no rest for her
of the crushed heart and crazed brain.
I remember her as she was in my early
childhood, toward the last of her weary pil
grimage. As my father and brothers were
frequently absent, and as my mother never
closed Ler heart or door on "crazy Lucy,"
she often spent an hour or two by our fire
side. Her appearance was very singular.
Her gown was always patched with many
colors, and her shawl or mantle was worn or
torn, until it was open work or fringe. The
remainder 'ot '' her miserable wardrobe she
carried in a bundle on her arm, and some
times she had a number of parcels of old
rags, dried herbs, &c
In the season of flowers, her tattered bon
net was profusely decorated with those she
gathered in the woods or by the wayside.
Her love for these and her sweet voice were
all that were left of the bloom and music of
her existence. Yet no! her meek and child
like piety still lingered. Her God had not
forsaken her ; down in the dim chaos of her
spirit the smile of his love yet gleamed faint
ly in the waste garden of her .heart she
still heard His voice at eventide, and she
was not afraid. Her Bibie went with her
everywhere torn and soiled volume, but
as boly still ; and it may be as dearly chert
Uhed, my dear reader, as the gorgeous copy
now lying on your table, bound in "purple
and gold, with gnilding untarnished upon
its delicate leaves-
Thirty years from the time of the com
mencement of this mournful history, on a
bleak autumnal evening, a rough country
wagon drove into the town cf C . It
stopped at the alms house ; ah attenuated
form was lilted and carried in, and the wag
on rumbled away. This was Lucy Dutton,
brought to ber native town to die.
She had been in decline some for months,
and the miraculous strength which had so
long sustained her in her weary wanderings
at last forsook her utterly. Her sister had
died some time before ; and the widowed
husband had soon after moved to the Far
West ; so Lucy had no friends no home
but the alms house.
One day, about a week after ber arriva',
Lucy appeared to suffer greatly, and those
about her looked for her release almost
impatiently; but at night she was evidently
better, and for the first time slept, tran
quilly till morning. The matron who stood
by her bedside when she awoke, was star -led
by the clear and earnest gaze which met
her own, but she smiled and bid the invalid
"Good morning. " Lucy looked bewildered,
but tho voice seemed to reassure her, and
she exclaimed :
"Where am I ; mi who are you ? I do
not know you? I do not know you."
A wild surmise flashed across the mind of
the matron ; the long lost reason of the
wanderer bad returned. . But the good wo
man replied calmly and soothingly :
"Why. you" are among your friends and
you will know me presently."
"Then maybe you know Edwin and El
len," rejoined the invalid ; "have they
come? Oh, I had such a terrible dn am !
I dreamed that they were married 1 Only
think, Ellen married to" Edwin ! Strange
'tis that I should" dream that."
"My poor Lucy," said the matron, with a
gush of tears; "that was not a dream ;
'twas all trne."
"All true!" cried the invalid, "then Ed
win must be untrue, and that cannot be, for
he loves me; we love ea-h other well, and
Ellen is my sister. Let me see them ; I
will go to thein."
She endeavored to raise herself, but fell
back fainting on the pillow.
"What does this mean," said she; what
makes me so weak ?"
J-rt f Y.r. her -yes fell on her ofn hand
t?i at old and withered hand! She gazed
on it in blank amazemei.t
"Something is the matter with my sight,''
she said, smiling faintly, "lor my hands
look like an old woman's."
''And so it is," said the matron gently,
"and so is mine ; yet we had fair plump
hands when we were youg. Dear Lucy, do
you know me ? lam Maria Allen I was to
have been your bridesmaid."
I cannot say more I will not make the
vain attempt to give in detail all that
mournful revealing to reduce tw expressive
words the dread sublimity of that hopeless
sorrow.
To the wretched L-iey.the la-t thirty years
were as though thev had never been. Of
no scene, or incident, had she the slightest
remembrance, since tho recreant and trai
torus lover stood before ber and made the
terrible announcement.
The kind matron paused frequently in
the sad narrative of her poor friend's mad
ness and wanderings, but the invalid would
say with fearful calmness : "Go on, goon,"
though the drops of agony stood thick upon
her forehead. When she asked for her sis
ter. the matron replied :
"She has gone before you, and your fath
er also."
"And my mother?" said Lucy, her face
lit up with a sickly ray of hope.
"Your mother has been dead twenty
years."
' "Deid ! all gone ! Alone. old.dying ! Oh,
God, my cup of bitterness is full," and she
onlv wept aloud.
Her frisnd bent over her, and mingled
her tears with hers, and said affectionately:
''But you know who drank that cup be
fore you?"
Lucy looked up with a bew ildered ex
pression ; and the matron added : "The
Lord Jesus ; you remember him?"
A look of sunlight breaking through a
cloud, a look which only saints may wear,
radiated the .face of the dying woman, as
she replied : i
"O, yes, I know Him, and loved Him be
fore I fell asleep."
The man of God was called. A few who
had known Lucy in 'her earlier days came
also. There was much reverential feeling and
some weeping around her death bed. Then
rose the voice of prayer. At first her lips
moved as her spirit joined in the fervent
appeal. 1'hen they grew 6till, and poor
Lucy ' was dead dsad in her grey haired
youth. Those' who gazed on that placid
face, and remembering her harmless life and
patient suffering, doubted : not that the
morn of an eternal day had broken on her
"Night of Years."
Felt IIis Own Pclse. A good story
is told by the Attica, Indiana, Ledger, of a
physician of that place, who was called upon
to visit a sick man, after he had, himself,
taken a drop or two too much. Arrived at
tfce bedside, he fumbled over his patient a"
Utile, ami at last got hold of his own pulse,
which he felt for a little while, and then,
with customary medical gravity remarked,
"Well, there's nothin' inuth matter wi you
only a litte drink! .Jisgot' bed 'n sleep
little' n you' II b' all right!"
A Tennessee girl, in order to make a sure
thing out of it, allowed two young men to
take out a license to marry ber.

Society in "Washington City.
A lively correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, in a recent letter from Wash
ington City, writes as follows :
Our Capi'al is peculiar in its social life.
It is yet, as it ever has been. so isolated that
the elements incident to ordinary American
life ate not much felt hero. ,. The power of
wealth, for example, so potent elsewhere,
dies out this side of Baltimore, and official
influences take its place. When the atmos
phere here was purely Southern, this official
supremacy was more positive than now. Yet
it exists. The highest order, socially, is the
Foreign Diplomatic Cjrps. This is given,
or arrogates to itself, the first position. Then
we have the Senators, and Supreme Court
and members of the Cabinet, nearly on a
level or so near that it is doubtful, or rath
cr in dispute, as to which) Jias the preference.
Then we have members ot the House, and
the mulptude of ininoi-officials.
One has to be amused when lookinir at
the little diplomatic corps that takes upon
itself such an air of exclusivcness, and is
looked np to with such awe and respect.
Washington being regarded in European
crurts as a place for honorable banishment,
it being socially-undesirable, and possessed
of no field fv a display of diplomatic ability,
the more influential and able men of the
profession shirk in dismay from a residence
in our beloved Capital. Theconseqnenco is
that we get ouly the lesser lights. They are
a rather nice sort of men, but not the sort
to worship socially, or in any other way.
And in any of our larger cities this enti: 6
corps would slip through small holes, and
disappear forever from public gaze. But
here it is omnipotent, and rule3 its little
world in a way that would be aggravating
wjre it not so lud'erous.
To see the corps iirall its glorr, one must
attend, on opera night, at the National The
ater. He will find the diplomats out in full
force, and all clustered together in the chairs
of the orchestra, wi;h a few,- pcrhaps,percl -ed
like crows in one of the stage boxes. Be
tween the pets the corps rise up and face the
audience. And then they appear in all
their awful glory. Taken separately, one
would not be seriously oppressed, but to be
attacked in diplomatic platoon is overpow
ering. If one draws near, he hears a chat
teiim in French, like unto so "'any jays in
mass meeting.
The gods of the galleries have lately taken
to resenting this facing about of the little
c rps, and when this diplomatic and dramat
ic move occurs, a general shout of derision
goes up, and cries of "D-jwn in front,"
"Ain't we handsome?" and imitations of
the croaking of crows are heard; for owing
to their somber dress, these subtle represen
tatrresof effete despot isms are called erows
by the gods of the gallery. The corps took
this assault calmly and with superior indif
ference, until a few decayed oranges and ap
ples came with indications of eggs- in re
serve, when the corps graecf ul!y subsided.
The goda of the gallery have no response
for anythiug less than Forrest or Booth, and
they treat with scorn all others. f Not so,
however, with society here, i was at a re
ception, for example, one night last winter,
and was attracted by a lovely girl, all grace
and intelligence the daughter of a distin
guished uicm.be- of Congress.
"She must be quite a belle," I said, to a
fair lady near me.
"Oa! dear me, no," was tho response,
"she is not ia society at all."
"Whyuot?"
"The diplomatic corps has not called on
her." .
"Is it possible? You don't say so?
I'cor thing! And why does not this erudite
body countenance the poor girl?"
"Why, you see, where they to do so they
would have to recognize the family and the
father, you know. "
"No, I don't know hitn.but I see. Well,
well, it is a wonder she survives and looks
so healthy. 1 should expect a decline.
Cou'dn't they visit her under protest say,
sign a protocol with an assortment of ulti
matums, recognizing the belle and, giving
the disreputable old father ouly billigerent
rights? You shake your lovely little head.
It can't be doue. It is hopeless. Poor
girl!" .. .
Anyone visiting Washington, possessed
of a wh 1j coat, a clean shirt, and a member
of Congress, can go into society at once. His
power to remain depends upon his wit. It
he is clever, he is acceptable. The latest
comer, unofficial, I mean, makes the first
calL All officials, from the -President to
Syfax,set back and expect to be called upon
There is a lively depute raging between
memliers or the Cabinet and Senators as to
which should have precedence. It is a
small matter, but gives rise to some lively
disputes, each party being satisfied that he
or she is in the right.
This sort of social life goes far toward
making Washington so facinating. It is
more of an intellectual social formation than
io Boston, wlrcre an iron-bouud state of caste,
hard as the coast sung of by Ilemans, is
based on money and family ; or that of New
York, where money is mixed with some
brain ; or in Philadelphia, where hard cash
reigns without any alloy. One breathes easi
er in Washington, as if one had escaped
from the suffocation of money vaults to the
pure air cf heaven. It is true that the in
tellect irevailing is of a political sort. But
that is better than none.
A Wag Tale. A certain judge baring
been called on at a public meeting for a song,
regretted it was not in his power to gratify
the company. A wag who was present ob

the refusal, as it was notorious ttha numbers j
