MIS E C L AW V • From the Dublin Evening Packet. To Mary. The eun shall leave his'even tratflc, At noon along the burning line — The moon shall idly wander buck, The stars of Heaven forget to shine, Ere I forget one look of thine— Tire I forget to love thee, Maty. The streams which gargle down the hill, Shall from their channels turn aside, The everlasting founts that fill The sea, shall at once be dried, Ere I forget my promised bride— Ere I forget to love thee, Mary. When in the brightest hour of spihig No blossom tints, no buds appear. When time forgets with rapid wing. To lead along the circling year, Then I no more may hold thee dear—• Then I no more may love thee, Mary. When death has filled the destiny That binds our hearts with mystic art, When I no more in memory see The links that hold thee to my heart, Then I, perchance, may from thee part— Then I no more may love thee, Mary. From the Portland Transcript. THE COTTAGE ON THE CAPE. BY CHARLES r. ISLEY. ‘Put the large lamp in the window, wife—it is a dismal night, and hard will it be for the poor sailor, if he has no beacon to guide him through the darkness,’ ‘Hard indeed, James, unless the Almighty should watch over him and guide his vessel. Terrible —terrible storm? may God have the poor seamen in his keeping;’ ■solemnly ejacu lated the woman, as she hung n large brilliant lamp in the window of the cottage facing the ECU • ‘Amen—amen’ was the hearty response of the husband. James Richards lived on Capo***. His house a neat one story building, was situated on the furthermost part of the Cape toward the sea. He was an old sailor, and had fol. lowed the sea until he was three score years of age, when he bought this spot and built him u house. It was a dangerous part of the coast; ■and this was one great reason why he settled there. —‘For he meant to keep a bright light burning in the dark to light his brother tars on their way.’ Richards’ family consisted of himserff, wife, and two sons; the eldest thirty, and the youn gest twenty.five years of age. ‘An I smart active bovs they uro too,’ the old man would say us any about these parts.’ The afternoon of the day bn which our sto ry opens, had been lowery, and the appear ance betokened a tempest. The two young men had been absent about a fishing cruise. They were therefore anxiously looked for al! the afternoon by their parents; more especial- I ly, as they had outstayed their usual time oi. absence. As the day wore away and the ap-, pearance of a storm increased, the mother’s ( fears arose proportionally; although the father was too much of a sailor to be frightened, as j be expressed himself, at a black cloud. How-I ever as the day drew near its close, and the* wind began to increase tho old man became uneasy, nhd his eye was directed oflenor than usual seaward. The sun went down luridly in the west, and the large waves began to, heave in their feathery tops. The old mani left the house and proceeded to the shore.— | There was a smooth sandy cove, which made ! a sritig, little harbour;, but save this, the cape; ■was lined with high, rugged and shelving! rocks. Mr. Richards seated himself on the highest eminence— Broad stone, it is called, directly on the pitch of the cape, from whence he could overlook the sea from al! points. Here as he sat gazing off, he muttered to himself —“I dont like that white streak in the east, it is a weather hfter, and bodes no good; and the scud there in the South looks badly, skimming over the water at such a rate. It will be an ugly night this. The plague is in; the boys that they don’t come homo—they ought to know better than to be abroad in such weather as this!’ Time and again us the dusk crept on, he wou'd visit Broadstono, and thtow anxious glances about, in hopes of detecting nn appearance of sail, and then he would give vent to his spleen lor their absenting them selves: in which however fear, as could easily be seen, rather than anger was predotninent. Darkness settled down on earth and ocean: still nothing met the eye of the anxious watch ers but the dark green waves rolling turbidly to tb.e shore with a sullen fearful murmur. The wind blew furiously, and the rum came with a heavy plash to the earth. As the hour grew late nrtd the gusts of wind swept by, and Mr. Richards had been once or twice to the shore without any signs of their approach, their anxiety became too grent for sdeuce, nn I im passioned prayers were put up by the mother for her sons safety, white the father in a voice slightly trembling, tried to com tort her. hy say ing—‘Fear not, wife—dm boy.-, arc strong, and a better boat, never swam: they are well acquainted with the coast. ReSidis, God will ha\e them in his keeping, and ivili nut leave us childless in our old ago. Cheer up, and put vour trust in Him, at wbosa bidding ‘ —peace, be still"—the waves cannot harm Ten o'clock came nnd wt nt hr. The bovs came not. Thu smrm was at vij.t. Af ter walking the room awhile, Mr. Rich unis as. hed his wife to prcn.trc a tautern. lam go- , ing,’ said he, in answer to his wife’s inquiries, ■ ‘to kindle_a tire on Broadstone if possible.— i Keep a goo"d heart—trust in God, and all will be well.’ So saying he left the house, it was but a short time before he had a bright fire : kindled on the Broadstone, which threw its I light far on the troubled waters —‘Pray God > the youngsters may see it!’ the old man mutter ' ed to himself, as he heaped on the brush. ‘He will not leave me desolate in my old age!— i Take me, Father Almighty,’ dropping on his knees, and raising his arms on high, in a ; prayerful attitude ‘take jie but spare my take me, who am nothing worth —a worn out hulk, but spare the boys to comfort rand support their aged mother!’ A hand this moment was laid on his shoulder; and a trem . bling voice said hastily,—’Junies—His will, not ; ours, be done!’ ‘Wile, how came you here? You should not be out in this tempest ’ ‘Hark! there it is again—l was sure I heard it!’ , ‘Heard what?’ said her husband with aston j ishinen:!’ I ‘Hark—listen!’ listen said the woman, poin- ' ting her arm seaward. ‘They arc coming—the boys are coming!’ ! burst simultaneously from the aged pair. ‘They see the light!’ said the wife hurriedly ' —let us heap on more wood, James —praise i God’’ ’ ‘We have the reason to praise Him, wife,and may, He who has protected them thus far re store them to us in safety!’ ; ‘He will—He will,’ said the agitated wife, as she heaped a quantity of brush on the fire. As the flames shot up in the air, and were i curling about in the wind, the old man and his : wife seated them to awatt the approaching vessel, that contained all that was dear io them. Their eyes were strained towards the cove, in the hope of seeing her in that direct ion; but happening to turn their eyes, they saw the little schooner dashing over the waves, right towards the rocky part of the cape.— They both uttered a cry of horror. Death— inevitable death seemed the doom of those on boaid. Onward she came, now rising high on a towering wave, fluttering on its top like a frightened bird—and now plunging down into! the gulf of foaming waters as to destruction— then slowly rising again, still struggling to wards the rocks. The aged pair stood for a moment like statues gazing on the scene before them, until the little bark shot into the shades made by the cliff’, and was lost to sight. In stead of running frantically about accomplish ing nothing, as is too often the case in scenes of alarm and danger, the old sailor was put on. Bidding his wife advance to the edge of the cliff with the lantern, Mr. Richards with the speed of one two scores of years younger; went to the house, procured a coil of rope and a fishing line, and was to the cliff nearly as soon) as his wife. At this place the cliff rose forty feet, per-’ haps above the level of the sea. About two thirds or more of the way down was a shell projecting out three or four feet. It was here! the boat came ashore. ‘Husband!’ said Mrs. R. wringing her hands; in agony, ‘what can be done! Father in Hea ven couldst though not have spared them to us!’ ‘Peace, wife pence!—wouldst thou chide thy Maker! say not a word, but attend tome; it is •no place to be womanish here. Now, wife pitch your voice to its .shrillest tone, above that of the wind and sec if the poor boys arc alive : to give answer.’ : The woman did as she was bid; and bend-I ing over the clifl’, screamed in a high sharp ■ tone—‘John—Samuel’ my children!’ Her voice rang shrilly above the dash of the waves and the blast of the gale. ‘Quick—the light—there is hone!’ said Mr. i ft. Immediately the lantern was lowered; j down by the line, and by its feeble light the I t oldest son could be seen on the shelf, leaning j back against the jagged rocks, looking up wards. ‘There is but one—it is John,’ said the old man wildly, as he leaned in eagerness fearful ly over the edge of the clifl*. ‘The rope, wife, the rope?’ shouted he. In » second it was lowered down; swayed to and fro by the wind. John was not long in possessing himself of it- But what was the old man’s horror when lie I saw his son castoff bis jacket, and grasping the end ofthe rope, walked to the edge of the ' slielf, as if to jump into tlie waters that foamed at his feet. ‘W’hnt is he doing? he is leaping into the sea! merciful parent! boy, boy, will you leave me childless in iny old age’’ shouted he, in a voice hoarse with emotions, ns he saw h;s son dive into the sea. He stood transfixed with horror. 1 In a few minutes, however, John appeared cud . the shcll’and made signs for those above to , pull Iho rope. The old man commenced giv-4 ing directions to his wife to watch the motional lof John. He soon made signs to stop hauling* 1 and then was seen to lift the apparent hfelessj body of his brother on the shelf. After ex-] • a min ing the rope, ho ma le signs for them to,; hoist again. It was a sight to w itness that old, man by the uncertain light ofthe frre, the nun? beating u; on his grey liead—straining himselC to raise tlie corpse of his own son from the dark uepth’s below:——and when the body was raised to the cliff’, to sec the aged mother clasp it m her arms, and hear her voice, thick with agony—‘Samuel. my son—would to God 1 could have died for you’’ —and the wind an«f the ram the while beating down upon her un covered hcad,and flmg.ng her grey and tangled features to die aii! > The old iimi’s attention was now directed towards rescuing his other s ni. wlm was in imminent danger ns the tide was setting in, and . ere long would probably wash him nd" Hie force of the wind having raised it u: • r'itui . its usual height. He made fe- ' : , ••. pc*ebb- *in n tr v c null bcnJictj •♦■;.* * k . ci , gave-direction to his son to avoid the sharp rocks that jutted out, as he attempted the per ilous ascent, steadying the rope, and encoura | ging him the while. ‘Father, your hand!’ said John, breathing thickly, lifting up his arm to thb edge of the cliff, well nigh exhausted. At the moment he ; uttered these-words, the rope which had worn against the sharp rocks, parted, leaving him dangling over the horrid depth below, holding by one hand to the edge ofthe cliff, and by the other to the tired arm of his father. ‘Wife! wife!’ shouted the old man in a voice hoarse with agony, leave the dead and attend . to the living. His wife was so absorbed in ; grief she paid no attention. ‘Woman’’ shouted he, in a voice of despair, “will ye sacrifice the living for the dead? Will you see your first, i born perish?—Quickly for my strength fails.” I ‘What would ye, my husband?’said shestar j ting up and seeing the situation of her husband, j stretched on the ground at full length, holding i the arm of her son, she sprung forward, and bending down grasped the other hand and with i almost supernatural strength, by one effort, lif ted her son safe upon the cliff, and then sunk beside him with no more strength than a chi id. She soon recovered, and the excitement of the moment being over, their attention was turn ed to the younger son who lay stretched out on the wet ground, without sense or motion, j exhibiting a pule and ghastly face as the light of the fast expiring fire occasionally flushed ■ over it. j ‘ls he dead father?’ said John as he gazed i wildly in his face, ‘lt was.an ugly blow the ' main boom gave him as we struck.’ I ‘Heaven be praised,’said the father, ‘that ! we have one left—and thankful lam that the 1 waters did not devour him. Wife, let us be comforted that his grave will be on the land, and that he was not filled to float in the cold caverns of the dead.” ‘Father —mother!’said John, who had bent beside his brother, ‘he lives! I feel Lis heart beat!’ And truly enough it did beat with re turning life, and by midnight they were all ga thered, a happy group, in the front room of the cottage, congratulating each other, and thanking God for their safety. Where stood the humble cottage, of James ■ Richaids a brilliant light house now stands— and it is the “best light” on the eastern coast. Ohl John Richards is the keeperofit. Vis it him, he will tell you the story I have, fur better than I have done: and will show you the graves of his father and mother, and will tell you how he and Sari: worked for them and made, them comfortable in their old age—how, after they were dead, Sam wont to sea, and found, after all,- a grave ‘in the co! 1 caverns ofthe deep;’ and that be never lights the lamps of the light house without thinking bow anxiously be watched the fire kindled by his father on ‘Broadstone,’ the night ofthe tem pest, when he was off'in the boat, tumbled a bout by the Waves; and how upon the dark ' and angry waters, he vowed, if God spared I his life he would.consecrate it to him, for ever I and ever and try to sin no more—how Sum broke his vow that he made on his knees, be- I side him, at tnat terrible hour, until he was punished by a drowning death, of his own vow lie speaks not; but from uppearauecs he has not forgotten it.
