Vaster and faster spread the flames,.
and now the ship was enveloped in a fiery
sheet. • Men women rushed madly
over the side to meet. a quicker but less
painful (loath. The boats, with one ex
ception, had been omi:lde - tiara capsized.
- There were hasty prayers and heart,rend

the burning ship, and with which they
had leaped - wildly into the sea. The cap
tain sang through his trumpet, "take
heart and sustain yourself as long as
possible. A ship is cemin , to our re

James Donna stood upon the ahnost
deserted deck with •Isin only child, but
four years of age, folded closely in his
ttrnt9. Ilia ayes swept the - horizon in
floaroll of the ship to which the captain
had alluded: lie .discovered it at last,
but it was at least four miles off. 116 fore
the ship could arrive, they innof: be
burned to death ; or, if' he sprang, ax
othorshail, down into the water, both he
- and - the child- would• bu cirowned, for he
was not a swimmer.

Two hours later, .Tames Durant awolz e
as' from the sloop of death, and found
hit-Itself in them:Min of a' strange ship ,
with lc in - TT — a — Mr anti' pathiving , faces — all
around him. In a moment ho realized'
all that passed, and said eagerly, though
feebly : " My,' child, 'little Eva•;' , is she
safe There ;vas no response, anti
low moan escaped the father's lips.
"Conrage, sir," said a lady with tear
ful eyes, "some of :tho passengers were
saved by another ship,"
The father's countenance lighted.
" dod grant that she may be safe."
Mr., Durant recovered his usual
strength in ,a few • heurS, and sought
among the saved fur the stranger who
had proved himself so true a MaSonie
Blather, but lie was not to be Anul.
"" lie must tai en the other !Min," said
Ittrouti, "and he will ears for Evii."
Buthnhips were at phrtthe following
clay, but althollgh Mr. Durant found the
stranger who had befriended him, and
who proved to be a Mr.... Wadsworth,
front El southern city, Eva was seen by no
one, and. was given up as lost.

"Ilae, wife, is a child that-halsjus

and huff, but L think she is not dead
Let us have some warm flannels inuno
diately, and tell Thomas to run for Dr
Hunk: - -
It was long'before the quivering lashes
and feeble flattering of the heart, gave
token that success would crown the
ef
forts of Eva's rescurers ; but, by-amhby,
the lids parted, and raraled two Inege,
liquid, sky blue eyes, that wandered from .
face to face in a bewildered way, and
then .elosed wearily.
"I fear she. will• not recover ver •
rapiilly," said the doctor- "She hits a
delicate vnstitation, and reilaii•e
the best or care."
" Poor child r' said Mrs. Turner, "
do not wander she Is nearly dead ; bn
N)110 can she be? Some terrible acciden
must have occurred at. sea."
" You bad better examine her cloth
Mg," said the 'doctor ; "perhaps .yot
may find some erne to her relations."
Mrs. Turner lifted the gOssamer white
dress, and turned it over and over. The
square and compass placed there by Mr.
Durant flashed upon the eyes of all at
once. The doctor and Mr. Turner,
looked at each other, but neither spoke,
and Mrs. TMmer did not notice the tear
that glistened in her husband's oyes.
The doctor's fears that Eva would not
recover rapidly proved Who well founded;
dayg and weeks of fever , succeeded
io awakening her to life, during which
shefalked incoherently •of "papa" and
" peer mamma," and of the " burning
ship," and of " hunger " Sho finally
awoke ti, consciousness, andasked many
questions as to where she was and how
she came in the dark rood], and who
were those who attended her, but Dr.
I hint forbade her being quegtioned until
she was stranger
'low interested were all in the little
convalescent, {Own the elements had
cast into the little-seaboard town ! The
ladies declared that never before did a
child possess 'such lovely eyes or such
beautiful curd:, while the gentlemen
sculled no less interested, and brought
her gifts of everything that might please
her childish fancy.
"My dear little gill," eat d Lhit Hunt

The six years that followed the death
of his }rife_ and the loss 9f his child,
passed Wearily to , James Durant. He
visited , nearly every country iii the. qld
World; seeking among scenes of natural
beautyapci grandeur as well as Obis:
torie interest, for the mental rest ivhich
could never bo found. Unce inore he.
turned his steps toWardrAmerica, and.
sought his MaSonic *friend' Wadsworth.
. ,
Finding that gentleman about setting
out with his family on a journey to the
Atlantic coast, Mr. Durant accepted the
Invitation to accompany the to ,S4ratoga
and Niagara, then td Neiv YOVk; where
leaving the ladies, Mr.' 'tradsivorth and
Mr. Durant wandered from town to town
along the coast, enjoying the beauty of
the scenery and the quiet hospitality
that greeted them more than the crowded
hotels and the fashionable style of the
popular. watering places. Fancy :and
the kind hand ,of Providence nt length
led them to the little town of
and the second evening after they ar
rival they visited the Masonic Lodge- A
warm Welcome was extended to these
Brethren from such distant homes, and
both were invited to address the lodge.
31r. Durant said :
" Brethren : 1 have traveled much and

" Six years have passed since this dear
friend and brother robbed himself of his
life, preserver that, my dear little Eva
might perAps escape, and we hoped the
elements might be hind, and that heaven
would send her relief, but .she4its never
heard of more."
The voice of Mr. puma Was quivering
with emotion, and unahlo to tij)cak
further, he seated himself and covered
face with his hands
Glances. of surprise and pleasure wore
cast from ono to another among the
Brethren of 'Hiram Lodge. No ono
spoke, however, but all eyes turned upon
the master, 111 r. Turner. For a moment
he seemed reflecting then taking a slip
of paper from the Secretary he - wrote*

who wishes to see her."
And .calling the Jun. Deacon, Mr,
Turner gate him the note, Sayillg iu

Turner immediately."
"Why, Eva," said Mrs. Turner,
when she had read the message, " your
are going to have company. A strange
gentleman is at the lodge room who
wisheS to seo you."
"I'Vho can tt be?"
Eva looked perplexed and thoughtful
suddenly' her cheeks flushed, her eyes
lighted, and clapping het little hands,
she siirang to' her feet and exclaimed,
" Oh, it must be papa! no one else would
WWI to see me ;' no ono in the, world ;"
and before Mrs. Turner comifrehended
ü hderinetation, she had
passed the threshold and wai tinting
through the moonlight toward the lodge
room. The Tiler looked :rimmed when
Eva rushed into the auto-rdom, her
cheeks burning, her eyes flashing
joy and excitement.
'I thought
-" Do itiot htop me; ],am going in !"
she exclaimed. But the inner door was

speaLing aloud, yet to himself, in a half
amused, half troubled way, "Tell my

"What does she know about business,

And Aaron Little sat musing with a

Just been lingering over a paragraph, in
which the writer suggested to business

And so Aaron Little dismissed the sub

perplexity of mind. Things had not
gone well with him fora year past. Dull
business and had debts had left affairs in

By the end of the year, to use his own
words, - he was "all right." Not so
neighbor of his, who, to get more capital,
•had taken Mr. Lawrence as a partner.
Instead of bringing in ton thousand
pounds that "capitalist". was only able
to put down three thousand, and before
thetrond of the year he had drawn' out
six or seven thousand, and had given
notes of the firm for wAs much more in
payment of old obligati ins. A. failure of
the house followed as an inevitable re
suit.
When the fact of the failure and the
cause which led to .it 'became known to
Kr. Little, lie remarked, with a7shrngl—
"Pm sorry for B—, but ho should
haVO told his wifO:"
"Of what?" ask'edthe person to whom

"Of his want of more capital, and in
tention to make a partner of Lawrence.
1 t What good would that hive done?"
"ItrOight have saved him from ruin,
as it'did me."
""You aro mysterious, Little."
"Am I ! Well in plain wo}•ds; -a year

rence. I told my wife about it. She
said "Don't do it." And I didn't ; for
her Don't do it,' was followed by sug
gestions as to his wife's extravagance
that opened his eyes a little. I told her
at tho same time of my embarrassments,
and she set her bright littlo head to
work and showed me the way to got out
of them. Before this I always bad a
poor opinion of woman's wit in matters
of business, but now I say to every man
in trouble—' TELL YOUR "
SUCOEBS IN LIFE.
Ilan stops upon the stage of action as
the proud lord of all created nature, en
dowed by his Maker with an intellect
capable of divining all but his own pur
poses, enabling him to bring foal' from
the treasury of the mind things, both
new and old, which, scattered by the
wayside, ripen with choice blessings.
Vittr - the -- goldvii-w ud - of-titrie—science
and art appear, and with each succeed
ing revolution, bear him onward toward
the groat goal in life which haRIIVOI' been
the height of his ambition..
Go back with me to that -time when
first the morning stare - Sang together,
and the sons of God shouted for joy.
Then trace down through each succeed•
ing ago of Alm world's history, and in
characterS of living light may he seen,
visible on every hand, his efforts crowned
with success ; and as the „monuments of
brass and marble reared to exhibit his
euergit:s stand before us, we become
stimulated to greater activity.
In our turn, we launch forth upon the
billowy cud tumuLtous ocean of life's
changing scenes, seeking to reach some
desired hiviren ; but we drift listlesslY
with the tide, unless all the energies of
our , )'oanhood are called into play to
buffet the adverse winds of fortune.'
All that is necessary to inside success,
is to have that urgent motive power
which brooks all opposition, and gb
,.
ahead principle we may carve for onr-'
selves a monument of fame and glory.
Then make up your mind that to-day,
this very hotir,is the' brightest one of
your whole existence ; and as the little
rippling stream gently glides along' to
mingle its waters with the great ocean's
current, let your acts and energies,
emanating from no matter how small a
source, so mingle themselves in the
great. current of events that all, seeing
your good words, may profit by thein.
Then throw off the yoke of Inactivity ;
let the master spirit have full scope, and
rest assured peace shall crown all your
efforts, and victory porch upon your
banner.

ANCIEN T CAI?LISLE
WAUUi w January - 113M72. • -
MESslts. Enrrons: - -Without preface
I begin where I left oil' and resume 'my
ramble In) Main street. '
droSsing from Mrs.Eamghman's West,
I stop in front of what' fifty years ago
was the grandest house in town. It is
the residence of Mr. Benjamin Stiles,
brother of Edward .J. of the Barrio name,
and a Prominent character in Carlisle so
ciety. I admire, as I have often clone be
fore; the smooth brick in the wall, the
clear plate glass in the rr udows, the
spotless white marble of the steps whfch
curve up to the door-way ; and the door
itself with its handsomely worked panels
and its polished knobis and tell-pull.
Mr. Stiles himself, is standing in Trout
loaning over the iron railing and talking
to his wife's lap-dog which is frisking .
below. (Phrenology bad not theu come'
up bajgkems•new names for things, and
to toll its that phido progpaitiveness was a
Universal bump which, with or without
children, would always find an object on
which to assort itself.) Tho gable of
the house and the rear, are in theirVay,
just as pleasing as the front, a set back
in the masonry, making a sunken pater,
break up what ' , would otherwise have
been the sameness of the one, while. a
semi-circular curve gives to the wall of
the other, the charm of a novel and
symmetrical variety. (I can't say how
that house would strike me now,
but as I recollect it, it would
company well with any three-storied
brick house that I have ever seen.
It is a counterpart of the old style Phila
delphia houses which still stand on
Third and Fourth streets, below Wal
nut.) IVIr. Stiles continues to.cherrup"
and talk to his dog: , He is in no burry.
No note in bank requires his attention,
nor does business of any ktild anywhere
cause him to be moving. It is a fine
summer morning and ho is dressed to
suit the season ; his head bare and the
flowing skirts of his seersucker waving
in the wind. He is not'a tall man, nei
ther is lie portly. llis dark hair begins
slightly to recede from his forehead, but
his somewhat florid face shows not a
wrinkle of either time t i W cam Ills toil
et, though it is early. in the day, is per
fect; on the well-fluted ruffles of his
shirt bosom rests the broad end of a
mantut ribbon, which serves as his
neck-tie. His waistcoat is of black; and
white striiied silk with rolling collar,
.and his pants fire of black Canton crape.
Bilk stockings and pumps complete his
out-fit, which, as a whole, Marks him as
a perfect specimen of the par excelleacc
-I;entlornan, as that genus was, .known'
fifty years,ago.
Mr. Stiles in his habits was not an
anchorite. The
,good things .of !this
world were not matters of indifferralco
to him. Time best -cuts from Noble's
stall fohnd their .way tq his table, and
'fine fat poultry was nowhere so sure of
a customer as at his door.• Though not
what .would' be called. an active inan,
Mr. Stiles wpm useful—that is in his 'fWen
Way. Nis. ample Means gave him a
liberal ittcome,, tind ; this,lto spout with. d.
free baud. , The "buteher and baker
and candlestick maker" framd him an
excellent custratear:
Opposito the house of Mr. Stiles,-,was
the county jail, a pobble-daglicd building
- like that of 1111.6,farnsey, and priAbably•
built, about this same time. It was a
'dismal:looking place, making one pity

Robbery of the' United States mail was
then a capital offence. If i .you , vvid turn
to your old files, you will find, probably,
some passages*-in the. history of those
bold bandits which *Mild, perhaps, be
interesting to such of your readers as
may „ be fond of that sort of literature.
Bathe ; on reflection, you would prob
ably find nothing of-the kind. The
newspapers of that day occupies them
selves wholly with 'advertisements and
political discussions. The idea of put
ting on record the miscellaneous events
of I the dayone of the most obvious_ .
duties of a journalist—seems never to
have entered their editorial pates, so . if
'any of - your younger read* want tf;

• Above the jail was the house of Mrs:
McCoskry, relict of Dr. MeCoskry, at .
one time surgeon in the army,
.after
wards one, of Carlisle's most' prominent
iihyMeians. I have a near relative who,
to this day, acknowleges his obligations
to the doctor's skill and bears testimony
iu"his 'own - person to the style of- his
surgery. His scar shows that at that
time the healing art and its resources,
were in a backward Condition a 4 com
pared with the present. Now, a, plain
flesh-wound taken in time' - to heal by , the
first intention, eau 'be managed so as. to
show no subsequent sign of either stitch
or needle.
• The ' McCoskry family were re•
markable for personal comliness. The I
youngest son, survivor of three, was
froth his - youth up a general favorite.
He was sent to West Point, but not li-
Icing, the military profession, came home
and went to college. ' He Was tall, slen
der and fair, as you may judge when I
mention, that he was chosen for the part
of a lady, in an amateur dramatic repre
sentation which came off in the Barracks,
and in which he acquitted himself with
much eclat. His success however aid
not lead him iutn the theatrical profes s
sion. Ile did better by graduating and
- studying - law ; - and - still - better by leaving
the law and studying, divinity. Ho is
now a high dignitary in the EPis-Ciffp-al
church, widely knolwn and 'much lion
*ored. lam not competent to ,speak of
- him in his capacity of Bishop ; I only
know him, and remember him as Capt.
Sam, commander-of the Carlisle artillery
in ordinary, and Adjutant of the battah
lion on " high days and holidays."
Fond as the Captain certainly was of
soldiering—an amusement which at - that
time was a passion in Carlisle—he was
without a single one of ,I the vices which
usually thereto belong. No profane or
lewd word was ever heard to proceed
from his mouth, nor intoxicating drink
seen to enter therein ; nor was any ono
addicted to these Vices,',tolerated while
under his command. .
My most lively recollections at this
moment of Captainl.McCoskry, connect
themselves with a grand ball, of which
he was the Car yphe us and chief manager
It was given at the 'house Ot Mr.
Wonder Hell, in January 1830, and was
,considered a grand Success, though
that is a phrase which had not
then came into use. Captain
McCoskry opened the ball, and

Next( above Wmulerlieh's" was the
house of •Dr. Creigh, the venerable old
gentleman whose i)olite greeting, that's
a fine, day," will be remembered by all
who knew him. •
Above Dr. Creigb's lived "Miss Ann"
-and-" Miss Betsy," tivo ladies- so Tamil=
iarly known in their day to all the peo
ple of CarliAle, that to have added their
surname when speaking of thorn, would
have Been. altogether superfluous. It
was their business to do for Carlisle, in
an external way, what Mrs. Shaw es
sayed, though with less success, te do
inwardly—they provided the young
ladies with head furniture. Many s
girl—and some old ones too for that mat
ter—did the shill of kiss Ann and Miss
Betsey send happy to eburch of a Sun
day-morning. - -
Above the Miss Kernans', but not
next door, was Gaulagher's store, a dry
goods and grdeory establishment, kept
by Messrs. George and Thomas Gaula
gher, two dashing yoting Irishmen,
both' of them handsothe, and the
younger the gayest of all gay Lotharios,
They were cousins to Mr. Igugh Gau
laghor the lawyer, who came to CarliSle
about the same, time, and who taking
root in the soil, became a permanent
resident.
Re-crbssing the street once more, and
going back to the place of beginning,
We have•above Mr. Stiles, several houses
occupied by branches of the Duncan
family, a family widc,ll"lnts a distin
guislied-place iMthe history of Carlisle,
from its earliest beginning. In one of
these )souses, long since' demolished, but
which used to stand back from the front,
was the office of Mr. John D. Mahon,
one of the most accomplished gentleman
and, brilliant lawyers Carlisle ever pro
duced. flow do I," who was then only a
Irby kliow that? Bee'ause, a boy----who
keeps his eyes and ears open, can gathers
as well as 'a man, the concurrent
judgment of people about him on
subjects of general interest. Besides
onu who, when more than a boy,
spout some time under Mr. Mahon's
hospitable roof, watching him during
the day laying the foundattons of a great
enterprise, and listening during the
evening- to his sprightly conversation,
can hardly ho said to boar only a boy's •
testimony. In the autumn of .1828, at
the mouth of Sherman's creek Mr.
Mahon, aided by his manager, John
Agnew of severe parental memory, com-,
menced a project, the wisdom of which,
has since been proved and its iniceess,
though in other hands, become a matter
t;Elastory lie gave to it the name of ,
his brother-in-law, and perhaps Wun
cannon now, is ono of the most famous
places on the banks of the Susquehanna.
Long years after that, at one of Demp
ster's concerts in Musical Fund Hall,
Philadelphia, listening to the ballad
"My boy Tammie," I heard, when the
song was ended, .a voice at my-- ear
saying*" John D. Mahon could beat
that all hollow." • I turned and it was
Dr. Joseph Speck, whom I had last
seen at Clark's Ferry, in the Fall
aforesaid, and who was looking just as
ydung and fresh and handsome as ever he
had done in his life. Where is the doctor
now ? • At ono of the last times I heard
from him he was in the ar9a serving
Ids country as a surgeon, irtni to his
honor be it added, serving the cause
of luinnknity by looking after the Freed
men.
Passing Mr. Mahon's dike, Mr4l come
o an old, ono-storied, red fratue build-
big, the front of which is Gorgas's tin
chop, and the back, Squire Delaney's
oflije. Behind it stands one or two
habitationsvvhfeh areoccupied.hy mem
bers of the Gores and.Keoper's family.
Next above comes a three-storied
brick house, substantially built, an un
profitable venture of Captain George
Bendel, after his return from the lines
in the war of 1812. I had occasion to
be quite familiar - with that building.
The down state's front was occupied as
school room by Mr. John C. Slack, whom
Dr. Mason 'brought with him for Latin
teacher, - .when ho came to Carlisle to
preside over the College. Never was
