THE UNFAILING CRUSE.
Is the cruse c.1" coutfnrt wasting?
Rise and share it with iMnithcr ;
And throuph nil the years of famine
It shall serve thee and thy hrolher.
l.uve divine shall till thy storehouse,
Or the handful still renew :
Scanty fare for one will often
Make a royul feast for two.
For the heart prows rich in giving :
All wealth is poldcn prnin :
Seeds that mildew in the garner.
Scattered, till wlt'i gohl the plain.
Is thy Imrden hard and heavy?
lto thy steps drag wearily ?
Help to hour thy brother's burden,
(toil shall bear both it and line.
Numb and weary on the mountain.
iVoiiM'st thou sleep amidst the snow ?
Chafe that frozen form beside thee,
And tnjrellicr both shall clow.
Art thou stricken in liie's baltlc?
.Many wounded voundthee moan ;
Lavish on their wounds 'thy balsam,
And that balm shall heal thine own.
Is ttrne heart a well left empty ?
Only Ood the void can fill ;
Nothing but n ceaseless fountain
Can its ceaseless longing still.
To thine heart a living power,
Se'.l'-eulwined its strength sinks low ;
It c:t:t only live in loving;,
And by serving love will grow.

THE GREATCTORyT'
Obedience to the laws is the first, the
most imperative, and the must sacred
tlutv ill' the citizen. The second is li
until it to see that the laws are respec
ted by all, and enforced upon those who
may dare- to violate them. The great
est danger to governments which adopt
the Democratic form is to bo found in
the organization ot parties which show
themselves willing hastily to overturn
ancient ami estnbii.-hed laws fi,r the fur
therance of selfish ends. Republics are
peculiarly liable to peri-h by such as
saults. On tho ocean shore of a melaii.
choly past lies !lio wreck of more than
uric proud political l.tbrie, destroyed by
designing and sc!li.-h demagogues, who
have lead the pinple astray during peri
nds of groat popular ::citctm,nt.
In ordinary time.- the masses display
some love and reverence for laws winch
have stood too te-t. ot linn., and under
which. proceeding generations have lived
and prospered. Courts of Justice tire
revered, and every intelligent citizen is
ready at once to do all in hi power to
preserve the in:ijetv of tl e law invio
late, (jreat principles o( justice, reu
dcred siicred by loin; application and
cecuted by t he LMiicurtent judicial de.
cisii t:s of sttcecf diii; ccoturies, come to
lj held as the sacred franchises ot every
IVceman. In a well regulated .State,
any assault upon the istaldislied law of
the land is i'i;.Jit!y regarded as the act
ot a public enemy. Such is the normal
condition of though: in any Govern
ment deserving to be called free.
ISut there arc periods of excitement
in vliicli the tiia.-sos seem to be easily
made the dupes ot ilestitning and un
principled do-mngonuos. 'J'oere are times
in the life of Kepubiies when the popu
lace seem to be seized with some strange
slid unaccountable mad lies-, l'-.iys of
follvnow and then occur, during
which
whole peoples teem to d
:ht
in
ties
truction. More than once the work of
:i very brief period has laid prostrate in
the dut governmental fabrics which
the wisdom nnd care of centuries had
been constantly employed in building.
At the bidding 1' tools am! criminals,
nations which hoa-fed of their intelli
gence, nnd prided themselves upon de
votion lo libeitv. have committed politi
cal suicide, or inflicted upon them.-elvcs
injuries which ages could 1 1 . t repair.
' It has not oci n our lot to escape from
the follies of fnmer generations. All
our boasted wisdom-proved to be insuli
cicet to prevent this nation from being
plunged by eUM. and designing dem
agogues, into the too: t if nti uctive civil
war the world ever witnessed. Xor is
it strange that amid iis inteiiso excilc
lnenis some of the great principles id
liberty should have been trampled under
foot. 'Well, indeed, is it for this people
that the war i.i comparatively short du
ration. During its continuance- very
many of the oldest and most sacred of
laws were ruthlessly violated. The
inalienable rights of ' he citizen, rights
to gain a recognition of which our Eng
lish ancestors perilled all on a hundred
bloody fields, were f ast being lost sight
of. Xay, it Mine to pass, in this laud
which was accustomed to boast of its
freedom, that he who dared to plead for
the dearest and mo.-: sacred rights of
the citizen was denounced as a traitor.
11 liberty should survive, and our free
institutions ho perpetuated, those who
occupy our places a century hence will
find it almost iuipo-.ili'e to believe that
such a state of affairs really existed.
They will read with wonder and fierce
indignation, mingled, it may he, with
contempt for us, the story of the innu
merable outrages which wcie perpetra
ted by tbe party now in power. They
will wonder haw it could happen in a na
tion pretending lo be free, that citizens
should be seized and thrust into dun
geons without form or warrant of law ;
will lead with inciudulity of the aboli
tion of trial by jury; will shudder to
think that civilians were dragged before
military tribunals and condemned to
death with as little formality as is dis
played by a drumhead court martial;
will have their faith in a llepublicnu
form of government shaken when they
call to mind the fact that the press was
muz.lcd, and newspapers suppressed
and deslrovcd for protesting ngainst the
outrages which were being perpetrated ;
they wilt be utterly unable to compre.
l end how it came to pass that the people
permitted the voice of any bold speaker
to bo silenced, at a time when
not to speak out boldly wa a crime.
Those who come after us will realize
more fully than wc can do the gteat
dangers to which our free form ot gov
ernment has been subjected.
If this Hepublic survives it will owe
its existence to the Crmness ot the pres
ent Executive, to the wisdom and the
exalted character of the Supreme Court,
and to the vigilance oftnc great Demo
cratic party. The recent t decisions of
the Supreme Court are but a reaflinna.
tinn of great fundamental legal princi.
plos, which our forefathers forced Kings
to recognize ; which, for centuries past,
have been held ns too sacred to bo called
in question; and which were incorpora
ted in the Constitution! nf the United
States by its f miners. Their violatiou
by those: in power is a disgrace from
which history .will never absolve them.
If the pcoplo of this country are fit to
be freemen they will sustain the Su
premo Court with a unanimous approval.
To suppose they would not do so, would
lie to concede that they arc only lit to
be made the slaves of some despotic ru

Pulling oit a . Siioi: Tho Jews
attached a more extended signification
to this old Masonic custom of 'pulling
ofr a shoe' than most readers understand
1. Entering the Temple of the Lord,
they pulled of their shoes, that no dust
or pollution might profane the holy
ground. 2. It was the closing or ce
ment of the holy contract among the
Eastern nations the party conveying
the right of privilege pulled of his shoe,
and gave it to his fellow as a pledge 'of
his fidelity. iJ. Among the Jews it was
a token of renunciation. Thus the
Kinsman of Ruth renounced his claim
upon her in favor of Roaz. Ho loosed

FISHING.
Ji ii Extraordinary Strug,
Tic.
From the London Field.
Last week wc quoted from the Dundee
Couritr one of the most remarkable
struggles with a salmon upon record,
which want ofspace alono prevented us
from commenting on. On Wednesday,
the 24th, Mr. Colin Wood, while fish
ing on the Xorth Esk, hooked nn enor
mous salmon. The time at, which the
fish Was honked is stated to have been
o:!!"). At this time of the year it soon
becomes dark after that hour, nnd tor
some time the struggle was e.irrie 1 on
in tho dark; but .Mr. Wood's tackle
was good, and he was an experienced
angler, so ha contrived to keep up the
connection until the moon roe. Sever
al persons appear to have been with him
at this time, but as hour after hour stole
by they left him, having far to go, until
the party was reduced to three. Mr.
Wood's two companions at length grew
weary, and laid down under a bush to ob
tain a few hours' nap; and now Mr.
Wood loft to himself, continued the
strttgglo alone for hours through the si
lent night, and by the light of tho moon.
It must have been a graud fight, under
these circumstances. At length, when
the fish had been about ten hours on
tho hook, one ot Mr. Wood s friends
came to his assi-tanee and relieved him
of the rod. and worn out, as ho well
might be, indeed, with the fatigue of
such nn encounter, Mr. Wood fell soune.
ly asleep. The moon waned, and still
the struggle went on. Morn came, and
Mr. Wood was awakened, and having
taken some refreshment ho was ready to
renew the contest and resumed the rod.
Other fishermen began to arrive on the
river's bank, and there found Mr. Wood
still fast in the salmon, which had resis
ted all his efforts to land him through
out the livelong night. Up ami down
went the anxious group, following tho
fish to and fro until tho day advanced,
the morning passed, and noon arrived,
when it was thought that tho fish began
to show signs of distress, but. Mr. Wood
was again compelled, from utter exhaus
tion, to relinquish the rod, which was
taken by Sergeant Miline, a skillful fish,
erman ; nnd shortly after thi the hook
parted from its hold and the line came
home, leaving the gallant fish to its weil-
carncu liberty, alter having tired out
three foes and been on the hook for
nineteen hours and a half!
Such is tho history related 17 Ihe
Dundee Cuiiti r, and if it is substantial
ly accurate in its main details, as we
have no reason w hatever to doubt, it is
the most extraordinary battle with a sal
mon on record. There is a story of a
grand encounter betwen a young High
lander nnd a lnue salmon in the Awe,
which some years ago was rife in our
fishing hooks. The fish was hooked
late in the afternoon, and after showing
some fine sport, sank to the bottom of
the pool nnd sulked. The fisherman
finding that the salmon had taken up
bis quarters tor tbe night, laid down on
the heather, and placed tho line between
his teeth sj that if the fish moved in
tbe night it would instantly awake him
and went to sleep ; but the fish did
uot move, and in the morning the fish
ermen camo to work with their nets.
The pool was swept, and the noble fish
came to an inglorious end. It is said
that it weighed 72 pounds.
Some three or four years sineo Mr.
I)e:iisou, the Speaker's brother, hooked a
very large fish in tho llotnepools, rented
by him on the Xcss. The fi.-h fought
well, keeping the taglers on the move up
and down the bank from evening until
ubout four iu tho morning, when, by
some accident, the reel caught in Mr.
Denisou's watch guard and tho fish
broke away; as they bad'seen h'.m sev
eral times, ho was estimated at hard up
on 50 lbs. l'robaly 10 or 11 hours
would havo been the actual extent of
the time consumed in tha contest ; but
it is evident that both these incidents
fell short in point of endurance to that
which occurred to Mr. Wood, who must
bo held to havo fought the stoutest fight
with a salmon ever known. The weight
of tho fish issuppoael to have been at
least UIJ lbs.; he was never seen, and
only broke tho water twice during the
night. It would be very interesting to
the lovers of salmon angling if Mr. Wood
would favor the angling public with a
detailed and more intimate account of
the affair than has yet been given, as it
must henceforth (uutil it is excelled,
which is not likley) be our pattern
iucident in salmon fishing; our battle of
Troy, which would need u piscatory
Homer to do justice to its relation.
" Sammy, Sammy, my son, don't
stand there scratching your head stir
your stumps, or you will make no pro.
gress iu life." "Why, Father," leplied
tho hopeful, "I've olteu heard you say
that tho only way to get on iu this world
was to scratch a. head !'
When was Ruth very rude to

SALMON
FRANK BURTON:
Tit c Slory of a i'apcr Collar
IiY " SIX SAX."
Well I declare, if horo isn' t an
other empty collar box !'' said Frank.
Rurlon one evening; ,; bcioive that
chambermaid uses them to build trie
firj with. Xow what am I to do ? 1
don't bclievo I shall havo time to send
for any more, for it's getting late ; but
I '.must havo some, or I can't sen my
Susie Jane, and I wouldn't miss seoin:;
her for till the collars in creation! So
here goes ! and the sen'eneo was finished
by the jerking nl a bell, in answer to
which a tow-headed urchin ma le his ap
pearance, and was dispatched for a box
of "'Gray's best. " with the incentive ot
a quarter if he would hurry.
Frank was a clerk in a commission
house with a good salary, and when he
chose to ba he was a fine, gc-nerous nnd
handsome young fellow as mm would
meet in a day's ride. Roing rather in" a
romantic turn of mind bo wss passion,
stely fond of yellow covered literature;
an.d to lose himself hi the mysteries of
a goed story was bis delight, ; and ho
hud even declared his intention of writ
ing a stunning story himself whea he
got time."
" Here's yer collars, Mister Frank,"
exclaimed tow-head, suddenly driving
into the room. "Here's yer collars
size fourteen." And pockctiii;- his
quarter, he made his exit, as suddenly
as his appearance had been, to leveul in
the dreams of lasses caudy which '.hat
stamp would buy.
Frank hastily threw off the Kd, seized
one, placed his neck-tie between tho
folds, and was about to button it on when
something om the inside caught his eye.
Holding it nearer the light he saw trac.
cd on the shining surface in a deliealc
female hand, 'Miss Maggie Foe, l.'oston,
Mass.'
Here was a mystery a lady's ur.me
in a paper collar, evidently written by
herself, and for what purpose '! These
were tbe thought that flnshcj through
Frank's bruin. Perhaps she was iu trou
ble and a captive sinio unrequited
love or a cruel f ithcr; at any raic, ho
determined to write t i her lo declare
himself the champion her s.ve'iger.
'.Villi this i lea firmly fixed on bis mind
be took out his memorandum book and
jotted down "Mi-s Maggie 1'oe, Boston
Mass;" and laying the collars carefully
away in one corner of the drawer for fit.
turo examination, he hurriedly tirocced-
ed with bis toilet for he had
inatle an
engagement to take Miss b'usie to
opera that evening; and besides,
chum, Ren. Fcntnn, was to call at
the
his
bis
room and go with him to sec J-'u.-ie's sis
ter Emma. lie was expecting him ev
ery moment ; a light footstep on the
stairs and a merry voice singing a famil
iar air convinced him that somebody
about Ren's siz- was coming, which con.
viction was further strengthened by the
unceremonious opening of the door, and
iu stalked Ren, exclaiming,
"What, not ready yet? Here, I've
been ready this hour ! What, a slow
coach you are, lo be sure? Rut hurry
up !"
While Frank wis hurrying himself
nearly to death. Ren veiy coolly sat
down, and picking up the i temorauduui
bojk saw written in it: "Address found
in a collar; Miss
Maggio l'oc, Eoston,
.'lass.
This set him to thinking. Xow you
must know Ren was very fond of corres
ponding with the youug ladies, and here
thought he, is a fiuo opportunity for
commencing a correspondence. !So
while Frank's back was turned, and
without saying a word to him, ho very
quietly tr.msiericd tho address to a
piece of paper, put it in his pocket, and
by the time Frank was ready he made
up his mind that he would ba.ve a cor
respondent in Roston before a week.
A few days after if you had examined
the evening mail from Xew York to
Roston, you might havo seen tvo letters
therein addressed to Miss Maggie Foe,
though in different handwritings. They
were tho mental productions id' our
friends Frank and Ren, both claiming to
have found the address on the collar;
one of them declaring himself a friend
to all iu distress, particularly to hand
some yoiig ladies, and desiring to know
if hu could bo of any service to bur, and
tsignad "IIopo." Tho other desiring
correspondence, making all sorts of prom
ises and protestations, friendship and
photographs included in the former, and
signed 'Tecumsch.' The ans wer to both
were to be addressed to 'Station A., Xew
York city.'
".''ome letters for you at the office,
Mr. Smith," Kuid the cleric of the Roston
Post o'lieo ono morning to Fob Smith,
the greatest practical joker in town, and
somo for that distant relative of yours,
Miss Poe. "I hope she is well," he ad.
ded w ith a grin.
" Very well, I assure you," said Rob;
" in fact, you may always judge of her
welfare by myself j when I am well she
is well ; when I've got tbe small-pox, tho
mump ox tbe uicascls; sho is sBected
likewise. Rut 1 must go around and
get thosj Idlers."
To proceed to the office, got the let
ters and carry them to his room was but
the work ot a moment ; ami cltor re-id.
ing them and indulging in a hearty
laugh, he proceeded lo cam on the
joke by sitr.ing down and writing to
each gay Lothario ; assuring Ren of Miss
Foe's npiiceiiition of tho compliments
bestowed, ;iud her willingness to take
p-rt i:i a eorresporidenca and telling
Frank of his inability to c::pres-n her
gratitude f, r her kindncjs in proilcvitig
her !'yiu(-,aLliy fj; otiy in distr.", nail
wont on villi such a torrent of thanks
and expressions of esteem that he was
perfectly beside himself with j iy, vow.
ing he vould go kuec-dji p, iu blood
and ihunuor for hev.
1 'or the no:; i lew weeks things went
swimmingly, Frank received as many
as three letters a week from the Istir un
known, i:i which t-Iu informed him she
wus the daughter of a very wealthy but
uot retired merchant, who was very
litrlct with her, and permitted her to
mingle in society but very seldom, and
then only under h'.s own personal super
vision ; that shu bad no one to love, and
all that, sjort id thing, until at length
poor I'1 rank's feelings were worked up to
suea a pitch that he determined to stv
her ii he could get her permission to do
so; Mill i:i '.;isueXt. letter he begged her
to allow l.im to cal! on Lor when he
came to Roston, which he expected to
do in a short time.
This s!.o etiisuuted to do, only en the
same terms she was corrcspo.ndiug with
him, and that was the most profouud
secrecy, she having both f riends mid re.
bilious in Xew York ; and if they once
got an inkling oi what was going on they
would expose her to her father, and then
hi? wrath would be terribl.!.
To tiie.sc terms be readily consented
and kept his promise too, for hu was a
truo gentleman, though so romantic.
Ho informed her that lie should be iu
Roston it week from that date, nnd of
course as her father would not bo willing
fo. liiin to se her at his iCiidciice, t he
only course to pursue would be for hrr
to indicate where and at w hat time he
could see her. In reply she named a
place for him to go, and the hour, stat
ing that he would find a trustworthy
servant waitiug there to conduct him to
her, and ho would know the servant by
a whito ribbon, which ho would wear iu
his coat, and ucsiriug brume M wear a
bit of r .. I ribbon, that Uia scrvaut tV;h'..
recognize him.
Meanwhile Ren was making fair
progress with his correspondence, and
although In; often hinted to Frank
about a youug lady in Roston, still he
had also promised silence, and dared
not tell him the circumstances, lie
had proposed an appointment to his fair
but unknown channel, and she in reply
told him she would be most happy to
sec him, but. just atidiat time it ., i:n.
possible for her to comply with his re.
quest, but that she would appoint a
place of meeting in a lew days; and
sure enough (ho very next loiter inform
ed him that if he would bo at a certain
place at a certain hour, (naming the
identical time and spot she did lo Frank)
he would see a servant wearing a red
ribbon, who would guide him to her
presence, r.nd that the servant might
recognize him, she requested him tj
wear a white ribbon in his buttonhole.
On the evening before (ho day un
pointed for I ho meeting Frank, havii g
informed Ids employers that no was
about to visit Roston that evening, and
placing the collar that was now so pre
cious iu his sight, iu our corner ot hi.;
valise, left Xew York in the evening
train, arrived iu Roston the next morn
ing, and proceeded at once to one nf the
lirincipal hotels, engaged a room and
went to bed in order to he in good trim
for the meeting that was lo taLo plac
that afternoon.
Rut ilcep was entirely out of the
queelie-n. The thought of the mecling
too much uctsupied bin mind to allow
him to woo the ' rosy god,' and after
several hours ot incfiectutl attempts to
compjse himself into anything like
slumber, ha arose and looked at bis
Watch, and seeing it was near lime lor
tho appo'iu'.mcut, prueeeodod to dress
himself, taking more than usual pains
to sou that his cravat was fashionably
tied, mid that each luck ot hair was ad
justed lo it:) proper po.-dlion ; and hav
ing dispatched the boy for some red
ribbon, ho proceeded lo Ox a neat bow
in bis uultuihole, surveyed himself ia
tho mirror until ho was satisfied be
would do, and thou (.tutted iorth in
quest of adventure.
Meanwhile Ren had come to the con.
clusijn that it might be a t-cll ; at any
rate lie determined to bo mi the alert
for breakers; and it was not wuhout
some misgiving on his part that he took
his seat in the Roston train on tho morn,
ing of the eventful day ; in fact, ulier he
had purchased his ticket, he had half a
uotiuu to retreat; 'but faint heart ucver
won fair lady,' thought he, and ho ic
solved tugoiin. lie was verv caieful to
tell no one bis errand.
