CSIVE HIM A LIFT*
1 Xeir Orleans Home Journal ]
Oivc him a lift! Don’t kneel in prayer,
Nor moralize with hi* despair;
The man is down, and his great need
Is ready help—not prayer and creed.
Tis time when the wounds are washed and
healed,
That the inward motives be revealed :
But now. whate’er the spirit be,
Mere words are bat a mockery.
One grain of aid just now is more
To him than tones of saintly lore ;
Prav. if you must, in your full heart:
But’giYt him give turn a eUrt!
The world i* full of good'advice,'
Of praver. and praise, and preaching nice ,
But the generous souls who aid mankind,
Are scarce as gold and hard to find.
Give like a Christiau-spea* in deeds;
A noble life's the best of cre*da;
And he shall wear a golden crown
Who gives 'em a lift when they are down.
WIFE AND I.
She who sleeps upon my heart
Was the first to win it;
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it;
She who kisses oft my lips
Wakes the warmest bltssing ;
Hie who reate vi'bin my arms
Peels their Closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come,
Days that may be dreary :
Other hoars shall greet us yet,
Hours that may he weary :
Bull thi" heart shall be thy home,
HUH this breast thy pillow,
Still these Bps meet thine as soft
Billow meeteth billow.
<4sep. then, on my happy heart,
Sturt; thy love hath won it:
Itream. then, on my loyal breast—
None but thou hast dene it;
And when age our bloom shall change
Wifli its wintry weather,
Msv we in the self-same grave
Sleep and dream together.
iftfK EMPTY < UAIM.K.
Hail is the heart of the mother
Who sits by tin. lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs of mirth.
Amt Still through the painfu encf,
Ska listens for voices and tread,
Outside of the heart, there only
She knows that fiey are not dead.
fie.ro is the desolate cradle,
The pillow so lately pressed,
But far away has the bndltng
Mown from Its little m-st.
Coming the lullabies over,
That once weie her babe’s delight,
All through the misty spaces
.She follows its upward flight.
Little k he thought of a moment
Ho gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she gathered
Her child tor its good night kisM.
Hhe should he tenderly cherished,
Never a grief should she know,
Wealth, and the pride of a princess,
These would a mother bestow.
And this is the darling portion
In Heaven—where she has Hed;
By angels securely guarded,
Bv angels securely led.
Brooding in sorrowful Bilence
Over the empty nest,
flan you not see through the shadows
Why it is all for the host ?
Better Iho hoavonly kingdom
Than riches or earthly crown,
Better the early morning light,
Than one when the sun is down;
Better an empty casket
Than the jewels besmirched with sin;
Wafer than these without the fold
Are those that havo entered in.
ON A NAUIiHTY LITTLE HOY, NI.EEFIMi.
Just now I missed from hall and stair
A joyful treble that had grown
As dear to mo as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footstep on tho floor
Were stayed. I laid aside my pen,
Forgot uiy theme, and listened—then
Wtole soft to the library door.
No sight! no soHml!—a moment s freak.
Of fancy thrilled my pulses through ;
“ If—no ’’—and yet, that fancy drew,
A father's blood from heart and cheek.
And then—l found him ! There he lay,
Hnrprised by sleep, caught in the act,
The rosy Vandal who had sacked
His little town, and thought it play ;
The shattered vase ; tho broken jar:
A match still smouldering on the floor;
The inkstand's purple pool of gore ;
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn loaves of Albums lightly pressed
This wicked “ Baby of the Woods ;”
In fact, of half the household goods
This son and heir was teized—possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade
TYio victor was himself o’erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tatlorod book
Still testified his deep disgrace !
I stooped and kissed the inky face,
With its demure and calm outlook.
Then back I stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, in trnst that when my sleep
Should come, there might be One who’d keep
An equal mercy for His child.

GOD’ PLANS.
Sometimes, when all life's lessons have been
learned.
And sun anil stars forevermore have set,
The things which onr weak judgment here
have spurned.
The thiuge,o'er w hich we grieved with lashes
wet,
Will flash boforo us out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of bluo :
And we shall see how all lion’s plans wore
right.
And how wliat seemed reproof was love meat
true.
And wo shall see, while wo frown and sigh,
Ood s plans go oil as best for you and me ;
How, when we callod, ho heeded not our cry,
Because Ills wisdom to tho end could see.
Aiid e'en as prudent patients disallow
Too lunch of sweet to craving babyhood,
Bo Gon, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things hecaueo it seemstli
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with life's
wine,
We find the wormwood and rebel audsiuk,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine,
Fours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low.
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Gli. do not blame tho loviug Father so,
But hear year sorrow with obedient grace !
And you shall shortly know that lengthened
breath
“Is not the sweetest gift Gon sends his
friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pall of death
Conceals the fairest bloom his love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life.
And stand within, and all Gon's workings
see.
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.
But not to- day. Then he content, poor heart;
Gon e plans, like lilies pure and white, un
fokl.
W must not tear the close shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if. through patient toil v.e reach the land.
Where tired feet, with sandals loose, may
rest.
When we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we will say that "Gon knows
best."
PEACH BLOSSOM.
Nightly the hoar-frost freezes
'The young gras* of the field.
Nor yet havo blander breezes
The buds of the oak unsealed
Not yet pours out the vine
His airy resinous wine;
But over the Southern slope.
The wands of the peach tree first
Into rosy beauty burst;
A breath aud the sweet buds ope!
A day, and the orchards bare,
Like maids in haste to be fair,
Lightly themselves adorn
*i,h a scarf, the spring at the door
Has abortively thing before,
.Or a ateded cloud of the mom !
eVhat spirit or Persia cometh
And saith to the buds. “Unclose,"
Ere ever the lirst.be* hjjnuneth.
Or woodland wild flower blows ?
What prescient soul in the sod
Garlands each barren rod
With fringes of bloom that speak
Of the baby's tender breast.
Aud the biy s pure lip unprested.
And the pmk of the maiden s cheek r
The swiff, keen Orient so
Prophesies as of old,
While the apple's blood is cold
ltemembering the snow.
Afar, through the mellow hazes,
Where the dreams of June are strayed.
The hills, in their vanishing mazes,
Carry the flush and fade !
£ L 'Utbward they fall and reach
To t ' ie kav and the ocean beach,
Where ,h ® eoft ' *>l f -Byrian air
Blows from the Chesapeake s

On the fields of L*.l*wvre
And the rosy lakes oi flowers.
That here alone are ours.
Spread into seaa that poor
Billows and sparks of pink
Even to the blue waves brink.

What fool to-day would rather ]
In Wintry memories dwell ?
What miser reach to gather
The fruit these boughs foretell ?
No, no —the heart has room
For present joy alone,
Light shed and sweetness blown.

CHAPTER X.
“Go P said the captain, “and take my
word of honor as an officer, that even
mv own people shall not know of the
service vou render us, until all is over
“After that also,” begged Geronimo
with artfnl modesty, “it is possible that
the Piedmontese might come over here
even though for a short time, and it
would be quite possible that a foolish
remark might have my house burned
over my head and X would be bung like
a calabash, on the nearest tree. There
fore I would prefer nothing said about
tbe affair either before or after !
“As you choose,” answered the cap
tain, somewhat puzzled at having met
here a man who undertook a dangerous
adventure and refused in advance, on
practical grounds, everything that look
ed like reputation or honor. But he
perceived at the same time tb&t if one
did not wish to renounce his help, one
must come into Geroßimo’s views.
Soon after the smuggler, Kornfaessel
took leave of the two ladins and hurried
away to select the rowers for the reve
nue cutter, No. 5, from among the cus
tom bouse officers, and then to choose
from bis own men half a dozen volun
teers for the hazardous enterprise.
, Lieutenant Mihalas/ was stiff and
motionless from surprise when the cap
tain, in tv solemn undertone, announced
his determination to set on foot this
night an expedition for Walden’s res
cue. As unaccountable as it was to Mi
halasy that the captain did not take him
for the lender of this foolery, still the
thought of remaining behind as the re
sponsible commandant of the fort when
at any moment bombshells aud grenades
might lie sliowered upon them by the
enemy’s batteries, seemed to him the
poorest joke that ever originated in |
KOrnfaessel’s round head. And only j
the reflection, that if he made any oppo- j
j t jon, the captain was in a position to en
j trust, him with the resene business, held
him back from reminding Kornfaessel
j of his duty as commandant of the post, i
j Therefore with sigh he permitted j
| the captain to take awy (fOffi him sev- i
i erai of tbe subordinate officers. Among j
I them was chief gunner Waukelhnber, to ;
! whom tfie lieutenant in all doubtful offi
cial affairs looked np as to a saviour, al- !
though he would have taken it very i ll i
of the latter if bn }9d reminded him of )
it when tho danger was past.
After he had selected ifiew, the eap- !
{ tain acquainted his little company with
1 .|is scheme, a half loud but nevertheless
! enthusiastic “hurrah !” which Mihalnsy
I felt to Urn soles of his feet indicated |
! the esteem in whip}) the prisoner was j
field by them all
After the captain had given a few
more instructions in ease of accidents,
which made tho lieutenant’s teeth chat
ter, Kornfaessel marched down to the
shoro with his brave little company.
Already awaiting them there was tho
slender black boat of tbn revqpue offi
cers, who, although they did not know
the object of this nocturnal voyage,
i greeted joyfully anything like an adven
* jure after such a long time without
smuggling. ..
Tiief cruised a little while, before the
harbor of Larono and the red house, and
it was not long before they saw a little
bright hark push off, which the captain
commanded them to follow. The hea
vens were clouded, the night starless
anil dark, so that one &t a distance
could only distinguish, ly a bright light
on the water, the mysterious boat which
served as a guide. Hover si times a
short, warm gust of wind came from the
parted waves over the lightly agitated
surface of the lake, and, after it was
long passed, roared along the distant
shore so that one could hear the water
dashing against the beach.
The bark. No. 5, sped like an ar
row through tho waves, which rose
scarcely perceptibly on its how. Jfioise
leasly and regularly, as if they were
moved by one arm, the six oars rose and
fell. But they came no nearer to the
little guiding phantom ship.
At last the Navarrese shore rose ever
higher and darker before them, and the
outlines of the bright little boat were
drawn distinctly on the back ground of
black rocks.
They could only have been a few
strokes from land, they heard the waves
of the .restless lake splashing on the
black stones, and saw a silvery streak
shinning through the darkness.
Now a bright light flashed on the
shore.
“We are betrayed!” whispered the
captain, and the six oars stopped in the
air, while the volunteers grasped their
weapons.
Geronimo had also seen the sadden
stream of light, but he was uear enough
. to the shore to discover that it proceed
ed from the entrance of the villa harbor,
and that there was/inly a single dark
shadow moving about in the arch.
“Probably the father seeking his
daughter,” thought Geronimo, .over
whom the perfect coolness of a smug
gler had come, and he rowed noiselessly
nearly Anwn to the gate. There was no
doubt that the light in the arch made
the darkness outside more intense anil
impenetrable. He perceived now also
that the gate was open, nvl recognized
the Brigadier Paglia, who, in * singular
surrounding of clocks, pictures, qvna
meiits nml other booty, stood with
bowed head listening and looking out on
the lake. He thought he heard a noise;
suddenly he dipped the cover on his
lantern to conceoViifP the light at one
point, aud by the bright rays reaching
far out on tile lake, he saw tie Count s
boat dancing up auil .down. He p<‘C°g
uizeil it immediately, and doubted not
that in it was tho long expected Antonio
who had anchored several hours ago at
the station cook’s and had drank one
bottle of wine altar another, and told in
a hiccoughing voice how the brigadier
had wanted to make a rascal of him.
According to bis own custom, Tom
muse cried:
“Who goes there V”
“Friends !” was the half loud answer,
anil immediately the little boat driven
by a powerful stroke shot under the
areb, setting all the other dilapidated
boats in motion.
But beforeToaopiaso could satisfy him
self as to whether it really was the hate
ful face of the Lombard smuggler which
stared at him from the boat, Geronimo
hail already sprung on the narrow plank
aud cut off his former friend’s retreat.
A long knife glittered in his hand, and
the expression of his eager eyes showed
very plainly that he was determined to
carry out the part which had been so
suddenly assigned to him.”
“A Bound, a motion, and you will
have bo life to enjoy all thane beautiful
things,” whispered Geronimo,
with his knife to the stolen articles.
“Put your lantern iu there !” he com
manded, pointing to the niche in the i
wall, which hail once served for Henry’s
wardrobe, and which a beautifully!
carved Cupid Psyche now completely
filled.
The discovered thief did not take long
to comprehend the pit;} at ion, and
obeyed.
“Asanti !” called Geronimo oat on
the lake. j
“Forward !” said the ; then I
the regular dipping of the sii oars was I
heard, and immediately the long block
boat No. 5 shot into the arch and
pushed Caroline’s empty boat roughly
aside.
Tommaso’s knees began to tremble
when he saw himself completely in the
power of the enemy, and he looked
round despairingly far a way out.
“Your life will be spared if you tell
us where the German officer is confined!”
said the eaptaio. and six gun barrels
were pointed at Tommaso.
The brigadier's teeth chattered audi
blv'as he saw Kornfaessel’* stern face ;
right before him, and he answered.
almost unintelligibly :
“Still in the Villa; but he will be
taken away early in the morning for the
commander-in-chief |iw approved the
sentence.”
With a peculiar eye to his own in
terests, Tommaso already perceived that
he must make friends with these people
in whose power he was.
“Strongly guarded ?” asked the cap
tain, “Remember that yen will answer
with your life for the truth of your com
munications."
“The two riflemen content themselves
with sleeping before the lieutenant’s
door, after they have locked the door of j
the house,” answered Tommaso already I
re-assured, as the people who had sur
prised him, as well as his friend Gero
nimo evidently had nothing in view but
the rescue of a prisoner, who was per
fectly indifferent to him.
“And the dog, where is the dog?
suddenly cried Geronimo, with a'knowl
edge of the place which was singularly
opposed to his former protestations. i
“ Dead —poisoned, Signore !” return- i
the brigadier obligingly, and his j
glance which rested involuntarily upon j
the valuib)® B around him formed the i
unintentional explanation of his words, i
In the meantime Geronimo with the
greatest friendliness (for the passing ad
venture began to divert him) took out j
of his pocket a strong cord which bp al
ways carried with him to tie his nets,
and wrapped it around the brigadier for
Band-caffs. Tommaso did not dare to
make any attempt at resistance, teU[at
an encouraging enff m the riba from the
smuggler, he went on board the little
boat quite willingly.
“Forward ?” ordered Geronimo.
The captain looked significantly at the
smuggler, who nodded, and took a seat
opposite the prisoner. Kornfaessel
grasped the lantern, and before he
closed it Tommaso saw Geronimo s
sword gleaming before bis face. Then
both were in darkness and alone,
The brigadier began at first, a sort bf .
conversation ; perhaps in order to un
derstand from the sound of his voice
what his guard intended to do.
“It is not handsome of you, Geronimo,
to be so mnch against an old acquaint
ance who has never abandoned you in a
dilemma —”
“It is well that you remind me of it,”
answered tbe smuggler with a gentle
laugh. “It mqgt be a pretty sum that
you have extorted from me little by
little, so that I have smuggled almost
more for you than for myself. It must
have been a much as a hundred sendi.”
“What an imagination you have ! Not
ten!” said Tommaso, defending him
self, and then he perceived too late that
he had ventured upon a dangerous
topic.
“It is at least five hundred lires,” con
tinued the Lombard in a melancholy
tone. “I know it positively. How if I
demand them from you to-day, when I
can drive my knife between your ribs
and nobody would care about it?”
“You are crazy!” cried Tommaso.
“If I had taken so much from you I
would not be the poor devil that I am.
However, I have a few savings,” con
tinued he, as if anew thought had sud
denly occurred to him, “perhaps aflto
gether about eighty scudi, and I would
?'!adiy sacrifice them to be released
rom* this uncomfortable position. If
you will come home with me I will
cheerfully give you the money and send
you back across the lake unmolested.
Yon could say then that I had escaped,
and you had pursued me.”
Geronimo gave a long low whistle of
intelligence, which cut off from the
brigadier eyery hope oj oqtiyittipg his
captors.
“Make the thing short, and do not
act as if we were a couple of children,
my brave Tommaso,” said he earnestly.
‘ i think if you tried to escape you
would have this knife run through yon,
and you surely do not believe that I
; would accompany yon and put a halter
■ around my neck, besides giving up the
| handsome sum which awaits me over
i there. But when one is about to be
come a rich man, he easily becomes a
miser also. That is my case. I cannot
j believe that yon would consider the
! quantity of money which you have
j obtained reeently safe at home.
\ Therefore, you doubtless have with
j you the purae of tjie Cpuitfoss, whom
| you brought here the other day, and
which you forgot to return. Nriw I will
! bet that it would only be necessary to
! search you “ Bttle to find your hidden
I treasnr.” Quite unconcernedly. And
| Geronimo began to perforate the* uni
; form of his victim with tfie sharp point
of his knife so that several times his
skin was torn.
“Geronimo, are you crazy?” groaned
i Tommaso, throwing himself backwards
j and forwards till the boat reeled.
“Perfectly sane,” replied his tor
mentor. “For if yon accidentally fall
into the water it would be too dark to
save you, and you would perish misera
bly. "Ah! what have you there?” asked
he, suddenly assisting in the search with
his hand. “That feels like rolls of ma
reughis. Yon havo fed your uniform well
I must say,”
“They are cartridges,” gasped the
brigadier.
“Cartridges? They are dangerous and
mnst not bo allowed on a prisoner,”
sneered the smuggler, while he forced
his enemy down on the floor of the
boat, tore off his uniform and took
from ilia brpast a heavy purse which
seemed in truth to be filled with
papers and rolls of money.
“See !” continued Geronimo, sticking
the captured purse, while his victim
groaned in helpless rage, “whether
they are cartridges or money, it would
be bad for you, if they were found in
your possession ; for I am sure you will
accompany ns to the other shore and
thore await the end of the war. I will
see how much of the money is mine and
how much belongs to tlio Countess.
The rest I will give up to your heirs, if
! you should not survive the war.”
There was such cruel scorn and such
mahclopS delight in Geronimo’s whis
per that the brigadier was obliged to
perceive that tfie' sua.ifggler, because of
his own corrupitoesg, hated hjm even
more than others of Ifis mor.o honorable
but inexorable comrades,
The brigadier was silent, but his
breast heaved as if he were being suffo
cated. Geronimo did not doubt that he
, was brooding over a desperate plan to
! free himself end gpt his money again,
ft seemed to hinj tby.t he heard the
noise of tws o.uisid.o and prarauring
voices. Tommaao tried to fi.se, biit he
drew back so quickly that hjs head
struck against tbe rowers' seat, for his
neck had come in contact with Geroni
mo’s cold blade.
I The oar strokes and a loud voice could
ino longer be mistaken. Tommaso
breathed (mdfbly, £f?d even Geronimo’s
heart heat violently, foy inspected mo
mently that tho brigadier, in of
all danger, would Cf jf for fie'P-
The boat stopped before tfiP harbor,
and the voices of the speakers beoauis
more distinct. One, apparently heated
with wine, and often interrupted by
hiccoughs, was talking in the arch with
solemn pathos If was a sermon of re
pentance which the pe/snljar priest ad
dressed to the Brigadier i*? 4 not very
logical association of ideas, but from
which it appeared that the speaker had
concluded to remain an honest man, and
’ to leave off all plundering and theft,
even if ordered to it by his superiors.
Divine justice, and the respect of the
world for an honest revenue officer,
would be more to him khan all the silver
and gold watches, cried the drunken
man, and then be added, that oven the
station cook wished to hayo nothing to
do with the things, and would not assist
them farther. Antonio (for it was lie)
that he had tried to dissuade
his sifp.erh'P fro m this reckless undertak
ing, and had out to him the
j eternal punishment Hi,at ibf’st necessa
rily follow.
Then the oara were again put in mo
tion, and gradually the voice died away
iu the roar of the breakers whicu dashed
against the rocks.
A deep sigh from Tommaso indicated
tffi (lid not, without bitter regret,
renounce tfufi confederate whom he had
selected on account Lis unmitigated
stupidity and submiesiycheas.
In tbe meantime the little company
hurried along the broad park road which
was to lead them up to the villa. Only
the fine sand crackled now and then un
der a heavy tread, and the metal orna
i meats of the weapons clashed against
j each other. Then suddenly the chief
i gunner grasped the arm, and
all stood listening intently.
Distinctly there rang through the
park, like the voiee of a despairing soul,
the word :
“ Caroline!”
Then nearer and nearer ;
“ Caroline ! my child ! my child !’*
“Iff is the Count who is seeking liis
| daughter,” whispered the captaiD. “If
1 we get him in our power, Walden’s
! liberation will be much easier. For up
to this time I have not seen how wo can
break into the locked house without
cansing an alarm that might ruin us
all.”
Again they listened, and a voice
sounded close by them, speaking in
| Italian, and in a tone of touching en-1
treaty.
“Oh! my child! my child! Why |
will yon leave me to die in solitude and !
despair ? I have erred, but my punish- j
ment is too hard, and, indeed, I never i
wished his death,”
The captain heard the icwd breathing !
of the unhappy man quite near him. ■
They were on the same spot where the !
revenue officers had captured Walden.
The captain opened the lantern, and |
dazzled by the sudden light, Count Ban- j
dimisni saw himself surrounded by sol-!
diers.
“You seek youy daughter,” said Cap- !
tain Kornfaessel. “And we, oar brave
Walden. A life for a life 1”
'•My daughter is dead !” answered the
Count, fixing his sad eyes upon the cap- j
taiD, of whom he seemed to have an in
distinct recollection.
“Your daughter lives, and we will tell |
you where if you will give us back our j
Walden,” rejoined Kornfaessel earnestly.
Hippolyt Bandimiani seemed too stu
pified and despairing to comprehend
these glad tidings, as he whispered:
“I wanted to file the iron bars off his j
window, but anxiety for Caroline para
lyzed my arm.
“A pair of strong hands could set him j
free. Gome-— *’
i Captain Kornfaessel left half of his
I men behind as a reserve force, under the
! command of Waukelhnber, and a few'
moments afterwards the partially filed
bar of Walden's window gave way under 1
the united strength of six artillerymen’s
fists. The prisoner (already prepared
by the Count) came forth noiselessly
from the room, which he would have
i left in a few hours to go to the State
| prison at Jntia, and from thence to his •
i death.
i There was no time for lengthy expla- j
' nations. In the liberated man there
! was something of the bewilderment of a
j man whom happiness had surprised af
ter he had resigned himself to despair.
“Away ! Away 1” insisted the Count, j
| "I hear a noise in the house 4”
In truth, one of the slumbering ri-,
flemen had fallen on hi* weapon and
the other, drunk with sleep, was inquir
ing the cause of the noise.
“And you, Count inquired Walden,
upon whom the fresh air streamed re
freshingly. “Are yon not coming with I
us?”
The Count shook his head.
“I am not coward enough to tear the j
power which I serve. I was wrong *to
change my country, but it would be an- j
, grateful of me to secretly abandon the
land which received .me hospitably. I
i have atoned for my fault, Walden, so'
1 far as you are concerned; as for the I
rest, consider me, as long as the war
lasts, your enemy who will share the
joys and sorrows of his adopted Father
land. Now, I only beg you to tell me
where my daughter is.”
“With her mother !” answered Korn
faessel.
“Then I commend her to the protec
tion of my chivalrous cousin !” said the
the Count sadly, but calmly.
“Away !” now commanded Kornfaes
sel also, for the first pale streak of day
light trembled over the mountains in
the east.
Walden stood immovable.
“I cannot fly, and let the master of
the bouse be made responsible for my
escape,” said he determinedly.
“And what will it prifit me if yon re
main ?” interrupted the Count. “They
will still discover the filed bar. The
danger for me, therefore,' remains the
same. It will only be Decessary for
me to spend the rest of the night
in a Summer house and try to reach my
room unobserved in the morning; in
that way every suspicion will be allayed.
Your countrymen will have to bear the
responsibility of your liberation. My
flight would be an evidence of my com
plicity, and would lead perhaps to the
confiscation of my estates, which for
the last few years have been all in this
kingdom. On Caroline’s account, yon
will not wish me to become a beggar,
cousin, therefore adieu !”
And the Count disappeared in a side
path, as if to cut off the conversation
that might prove so fatal to them all. 1
Walden made a movement to follow
him. Then the Captain laid his hand
heavily on his shoulder :
“You are my prisoner, and have no
longer the right to dispose of yourself,”
said Kornfaessel, threateningly. “You
have without permission absented your
self from your post, and your offense
falls under our military laws, unless you
wish to add desertion and treachery to
disobedience, and deliver us over to
Piedmontese build s.”
“You are right,” said Walden, after a
short pause. “I have offended against
the military laws of my country, and
will give them satisfaction.”

[ Correspondence Chronicle andConstitutionalist.
Chapel Hill, June 7. — This place is
distant from Durham twelve miles, and
is reached by private conveyance. Tile
road is rough enough at several points,
but, as a whole, affords a pleasant drive
in the happy menu between very and y
and very wet weather. Since Monday
afternoon last, the people, young and
old, have been literally pouring iu, until
at this writing the village is crowded
with representative men and women
of this grand old State. The
writer bad long felt anxious to
worship a"t this shrine, from whence
blessings great and innumerable have
been, with an interval of about three
years, regularly aud freely dispensed
for of quite threo-quarters of a
century. The University of North Caro
lina was chartered in 1789, the first col
lege edifice completed in 1794 and in
struction commenced ‘in 1795. In 1798
the first anniversary commencement was
held and nine graduates sent out into
tho world to do battle for themselves,
their Alma Mater and their State. Since
then, the number of alumni has been in
creased annually with the exception of
the years referred to. The list em
braces a host of distinguished names.
President James K. Polk, Vice-Presi
dent W. R. King, Bishops Po!k, Otey,
Hawks, Green aud Davis, Governor
Vance and other good men and true,
who may be numbered in companies of
fifty, speak, in well spent lives and iu
present efforts, the praises of the
University. Wo oft-times hear of
the amount of money those institu
tions of learning cost the State. No
matter wliat sum North Carolina may
have expended in support of the Uni
versity, the record discloses the fact
that the returh mado is more than am
ple- indeed, there is a large unpaid
balance due the TJniyprsity, It is a
debt the State will never fully discharge,
strive as she may, and be liberal as
she ought.
The present commencement was in
augurated on Tuesday evening by a
meeting of the literary societies, at
which Alumni, of many years’ standing
and eminerice In the State and country,
made appropriate adi?re.s3es, apij by a
hop in tpe ball ro.om. ft is’ uetifless to
say that these introductory events vyere
exceedingly recherche. The young
ladies were as beautiful as tbe morning,
and the young men appeared to be per
fectly happy.
At 11 o’clock, Wednesday morning,
Judge D- G, Fowle delivered the annual
address before tfhilanfbyopie and Dia
lectic Spcietips. 1 Jii3ge JJowle chose for
his snbjept,
“North Oarolina—Duriiis qui| niiiee |lio
War.”
It was a magnificent production. He
hurriedly recounted events, in the revo
lutionary history of the State, which
show tbn high appreciation in which the
I righ) pf local aeif-goyernment was held
by the father#!, aifi?' Gi.e.d instances in
proof of the declaration lie vefifcuied
that, during the late disastrous war, the
poople of the State nover once swerved
from tho paths mapped out by
j their ancestors. They had ever been
| a liberty joying, liberty defending
people. K.elcrfing 'Pp the ripe
when Alamauce and Casyreil couhl'““
were pinged under martial lav/ and
the Supreme Court' filled to enforce
the groat writ of habeas corpus— a time
when the people were made to feel that
the night had settled upon them, Judge
Fowle eloquontly apostrophised George
\ W. Brooks, a Fe ieral Judge in the
F.astfern portion of tho State, who
issued his writ and pupg wide open
the doors of pyisQos in ' lyl)iC4 Litter
were incarcerated, in defiance of the
Constitution and without authority of
law, some of the purest, most promi
nent and inoffensive citizens of the
State. Judge Fowle urged that, while
written constitutions are good, it is
eminently proper apd necessary that,
the cardinal principles, ppop jypich
rests the writ mentioned,' should' be
thoroughly iustilled into the minds of
the youth of the State.
At 3, p. m., Rev. Dr. O. F. Deems, so
well and favorably knoivn to your fellow
citizens, delivered tbe baccalaureate ser
mon. discourse was based upon
the intimatiop given Paul, the Apostle,
by Festus, th at the former’was mad. It
was ope of the finest sermons to which
it has ever been my privilege to’ listen.
The arguments advanced were unan-
and the positions assumed
were illustr ata d in a manner peculiar to
this distinguished gentian. He made
a most effective appeal to the young
men to know why they should regard
Christians as mad.
The exercises in the eyeping were of a
highly interesting character, consist
ing of original orations by rep
resentatives of the two societies.
There were six speakers, eaeli of whom
bandied his subject most admirably. I
do not remember six brief and pointed
speeches that ever gave me so much real
pleasure. From first to last, the sub
jects were eminently practical and were
presented in that light. To particular
ize would be to make invidious distinc
tions. If those young men, Messrs.
Winston, Jones, Manning, Johnston, Hill
and Watkins, continue in the future as
in the past and stand firmly on the eter
nal principles so eloquently advocated
in their speeches, North Carolina will
have abundant cause to nurture and
honor them.
At the conclusion of the exercises
j a st referred to, the audience proceeded
to the spacious hall known as the Uni
versity Library, vhere the customary
hops are given, and where “the Ger
man” was announced for the evening.
The confession may smack of an inordi
nate degree of verdanay, hut it must be
made. I had never witnessed “the Ger
man.” In Ellen Story, the most charm
ing book of its kind I have ever
read, is contained a graphic
description of this captivating dance.
One of the grave and reverend seniors
led the German. The scene beggars de
scription. Until one sees the perform
ance with his natural eyes, one can not
appreciate the feelings of triumph which
filled poor Ellen’s heart when informed
that she and Archie Howard were to
lead on tha occasion created by Faw
cett. I shall not attempt a description
of this giddiest of giddy dances. Eat
for most intense, continuous, and in
creasing excitement, there is no amuse
ment that equals the German. It is
thrilling in intensity anfi debatable as
to propriety. Its figures are numerous,
complex and strangely inlertwinmg. It
fuses the waltz, the hay dance and the
cotillion; and, to be done cleverly, mnst
be entered upon and pursued with an
abandon that would answer in that un
discovered place on the earth where,
nectar fit for the gods is drank and !
where men and women have nanght to
do but eat, drink and be merry. j
This morning Gov. Yance delivered j
an interesting and instructive address j
on the “Life and Character” of the late i
President David L. Swain. Gov. Yance j
was followed by Hon. Walter L. Steele,
an Alnmnns of the class of ’47, who pro
nounced the 4lnmni oration. As both
productions will doubtless be printed in
pamphlet form, I present no synopsis of
either. Suffice it to say that the hon
ored gentlemen fully sustained the high
reputation they enjoy for learning, wit
and eloquence. Gov. Vance is known
to our people. Col. Steele is a man
possessed of marked strength of charac
ter and intellect, and is destined to make
an exceptionally bright record as a mem
ber of the present Congress.
The members of the graduating class,
Messrs. Fremont, Phillips, Baker, Pow
ell and Taylor, spoke this afternoon and
received their diplomas. They are prom
ising young gentlemen and stand de
servedly high with their professors.
They go out from the University pre
pared to commence their education in
good earnest. A grand ball capped the
climax to-night.
Altogether, this has been a pleasant
week, aud the commencement is unani
mously voted a success. The University,
under the skilful and energetic direction
of President Kemp P. Battle, has entered
upon anew career of prosperity and
usefulness. The signs of the times in
dicate that by next September there will
be from 200 to 250 students here. Dr.
Battle has spent considerable time in
visiting various portions of the State
aud addressing the people on the im
portance of sustaining the University.
The waters are being troubled, and an
educational revival, such as North Caro
lina has never felt, is almost at hand.
In closing, I mnst say that nowhere
have I observed a finer looking body of
young men, a more quiet, gentlemanly
band of students than those in whose
midst I have spent three days of unin
terrupted pleasure.

THE U. S. MARSHALSHIP.
Who Is to Blame in This .Walter ?
[Covingln7i Star. J
It seems the announcement last week
that Major Smyth had been reappointed
United States Marshal for Georgia was
premature. The President has not yet
made tbe appointment of Marshal for
this State. Major Smjth is still acting
as Marshal, but otherwiso the “situa
tion” remains unchanged. Iu our com
ment upon the announcement we may
have been a little severe on Mr. Hill, in
charging him with the responsibility of
Major Smyth’s reappointment, instead of
a Democrat, or even of a native born
Republican, to that important and
responsible position, but not in
tentionally so. We have no desire to
do Mr. Hill injustice, but the case
seemed to be rather an aggravated .one
and to demand the severest censure of
the press and people of the State. Iu
reply to the inquiry of the Chronicle
and Constitutionalist as to whether we
spoke authoritatively in reference to Mr.
Hill’s responsibility for Maj. Smyth’s
re-appointment instead of a Democrat or
native Republican, we will say that at
the proper time, if necessary, we will en
deavor to answer it; but, in tbe mean
time, we hope Senators Gordon and Hit 1
will themselves explain to the people of
Georgia precisely where the responsibil
ity of the non-appointment of a good
Democrat to the Marsliahship of the
State does lie. This will be the most
direct way of settling the controversy.

§2,000,000 Worth of Property Lost.
New York, Juno 11.—The Star and
Herald, of Panama, received to-day, lias
the details of the disaster ar.d de
struction caused on the South Pa
cific Coast by the earthquake and
tidal wavo of May 9. The towns of
Arica and Iqniuqe, Ponta do La Cos,
Pabellou de Pica, Chanavayn, Huanills,
Tocopilla, Cobija, Mejillones, De Bol
ivia, Autafagasta and Chanaralal are
nearly all destroyed. About 600 lives
were lost. The destruction of property
is estimated at $2,000,000, oonfined
mostly to the coast, although the town
of Tarapaca, 23 leagues inland, aud the
villages of Pica, Mfttilla and Cauchall,
far iu tho interior, were more or less
rained. The shipping of guano from
Southern deposits will bo indefinitely
suspended, as all facilities in tho way of
launches, ohutes, wharves, water oon
densers and buildings of all kinds have
been swept away. The destruction of
and damage to shipping has been very
great, and was attended by
Very Serious Loss of Life*
At Molendo, the railway was torn up
by the sea three hundred feet, and at
110 t}' t e railway was also injured. At
Arica' the people were preparing tempo
rary fortifications to repel the threatened
assault of the vebel ram Hauscar at the
very moment tlie roar of the earthquake
was heard. The shocks were very nu
merous, and caused immense danger.
The sea was suddenly perceived to re
cede from the beach, and a wave from
ten to fifteen feet high rolled upon the
Bhpre, "carrying ajf fiefot'e jti Eight
times was repeated this assault of the
ocean, and four miles of the embank
ment of the railway melted away like
sand. Locomotives, cars and rails were
hurled about by the sea like so many
play things, aud left in a
Tumbled Mass of Rubbish.
The United States steamer “Wateree,”
stranded by tho waves of ’6B, was lifted
bofiily ahd’ Abated two miles north of
her qld position. Tfie cable buoy was
moved a quarter of a mile northward.
The merchandise from the oustom house
and stores was carried five miles distant.
The damage done was greater than that
of the calamity of ’6B. Tho earthquake
had leveled tlie custom house, railway
station, submarine cable office, hotel,
British consulate, and
many' private dwelling*, hfpgJ®
passed tho night on the hills. Unlives
began to rob, when the .troops fired up
on them, killing several.
Tbe DestriK'tien ef J:^iii;jHe ;
Jquique, built of wood and oane, tum
bled down at the first onset. Lamps
were broken, and burning oil, spreading
oyer tlip ilefirjs srifftpd a geuerifi confla
gration. ’ Three companies of firemen
were instantly at their posts, although it
was difficult to maiutain an upright po
sition, shock following shoek with
dreadful regularity. To procure water,
the two beat fire engines were stationed
on tlie beach. Just then tbe cry aroße,
“The sea!” “the sea!” and the waves
rushed in; The engines we*e carried
out by the reflux, and tlie fire continued
unopposed. Three elements of destruc
tion were busy at one moment—fire, wa
ter, and the earthquake. The affrighted
people
Left tlie City to Its Fate
Flying to the neighboring eminences.
Tlie fire destroyed a large portion of the
town, the earthquake leveled nearly all
the rest, and the water covered the ruins
which it took out in its reflux. Tlie
water condensers along tho shore are
ruined. This is an irreparable loss for
Iquique, as no palatable water is found.
There were nearly four hundred thous
and quintals of nitrate at Iquique. The
adjacent ports of MoHe and Fisqua were
destroyed, Small loss of life took place,
probably ten persons in all. The coast
ing craft and small boats in the harbor
were broken to pieces. As in Arica, the
robbery of goods lying in tlie streets
was attempted, but a guard of citizens
took such severe measures that the rob
bers fyeye speedily driven away up on
the pampas, eleven mfles ffom Iquiqne.
The splendid nitrate establishment, “La
Nueva Carolina,” was completely de
stroyed.
The Suffering of the People
Of Iquique was intense. The absence
of water and the destruction of the prin
cipal stores added to their hardships.
It is estimated that the damage done in
Iquique will amount to nearly four mil
lion souls. Cbanavaya, a little town at
a guano-loading deposit, known as Pa
bellon Depica, with 400 houses, has only
two standing. Here the earthquake was
followed by fire. There were no fire en
gines in the town, and the sea came in
and extinguished the flames, but as it
retired, carried off all that remained of
tbe place. In one of the guano cut
tings, thirty laborers were buried by
falliug earth. Havre, a town of Tarpa
ca, two or three leagues inland, and the
villages of Pica, Matilla and Canchones,
were more or less ruined. The loss of
life is reported as not being great. The
earthquake was especially severe at
Chanavaya. The earth opened fifteen
metres in depth, aud the whole surface
of the ground was changed. At least
Two Hundred People
Were killed. The bodies were floating
in the bay, and pestilence is feared.
At Huanillas, another guapo-loading
station, the damage inflicted was fear
ful. All the houses were destroyed. The
guano cuts have fallen in, and, as at Pa
bellion, all loading must be suspended
for at least two months.
Tlie Wave
Which succeeded the earthquake, [and
completed the destruction, was nearly
sixty feet in height. Mj)ny vessels were
lost here, together with several of those
on board. In everything except
a few huts at the back of the town has
been destroyed.
At Mexillones the tidal wave was sixty
five feet in height. Two thirds of the
town was completely destroyed. The
gnano shoots, wharves, lannches, boats,
water distilleries, railway station, loco
motives, cars and furniture were all
swallowed up. Six persons were drown
ed. At Teocioilla little or nothing re
mains. The Xonnmine, called La Pena
Danea, four miles to the southward,
sank in, smothering 206 workmen, of
whom forty were Cornish miners.—
Cobija, the principal town on tbe Boli
vian Coast, has lost three-fourths of the
houses. The wave, thirty-five feet high,
swept along the main business street,
and left it as level as a desert. The
wharves and lannches were all parried
out to sea.
Brigham Young will begin celebrating
his silver wedding next Monday, and it
will be about three years before lie gets
through with it.
A PANORAMA OP THE WAR.
A street Scene in Kars—Tlie Turk and the
Telegraph Operator.
[From the Burlington Haiokeye.{
This is a street scene in Kars. We
don't know who seen it, but we know it
was saw. Probably some Russian czar
it. The city is in a state of siege. The
gentleman in the foreground, feeling
over his head for the ground, is a pri
vate gentleman in a Cossack regiment.
He is not feelißg very well. He is ill.
A moment ago he met a fifteen inch
shell, and was too busy to get out of
the way. His stomach, lungs and swal
lowing thing went on with the shell, and
he will never enjoy a square meal again.
His comrades wish to send for the doc
tor. He declines. He says he does not
need him. He is right. He can die
without him. The doctor will weep
when he learns the Cossack is dead. He
wilh bend over his lifeless form, and
then he will weigh it and put it an item,
to the last ounce, as a tumor he re
moved from a gentleman in Scott coun
ty. Truly, in the midst of life we are
in debt.
The gentleman in gunnybag trogsers
and a long pipe is a Turk. He is the
friend of the American journalist who
uses him to make puns of. He will not
last much longer at the rate the Ameri
can journalist is using him up. This is
all that anybody knows abont the Turk
or Turkey." Move the panorama on.
This is a Russian General. See the
wide landscape stretching away in the
dim distance. Let her stretch—it doesn’t
cost us anything. You cau not see the
Russian General for his name, but be is
there all the same. You can smell his
breath. He eats tallow candles. This
makes him light hearted. His name
comes in by the big rock on the left, fol
lows the course of the meandering brook
in the valley, winds slowly up the moun
tain side, and disappears in the direc
tion of Ulpblowitch. It is nine miles
long, without the titles. When his
mot'.er used to call him up to breakfast,
she started at 9 p. m., took a long breath
and talked it off till morning.
This is a telegraph office. The bright
looking young man at the table in a
Western Union operator. The little
brass and steel thing ticking away on
the table is the instrument. The opera
tor is very easily distinguished from the
instrument. He cau not talk so fust as
the instrument, but he cau sleep a great
deal more. He is going to sleep now.
The man leaning over the counter is
a heartless citizen, who has the
cheek to ask the operator to send
a dispatch for him. The operator takes
the message, but he does not send it.
He hasn’t time. He loses rise games of
checkers while that citizen is wondering
why he doesn’t get any reply to ilis dis
patch. Then the citizen starts out to
walk to the place and see the man. He
finds him, and soon after they meet the
dispatch comes along. The citizen re
members and recognizes it. Ho is af
fected to tears. The operator finds him
and charges him forty cents for sending
the message, forty-five cents for the
wear and tear of the instrument, fifty
cents for the strain on nervous system,
sixty cents for collecting rate on mes
sage, sixty-five cents on general princi
ples. He learns afterward that the citi
zen yet lias some money left, and lie is
going back in the morning to borrow it
of him.
This is Constant O’Nople. He is the
leader of the muscle-men. All the
O’Noples are muscular men. Constant
O’Nople isn’t afraid of St. Petersburg.
Ffe isn’t even afraid of a b—d burg.
The sound of tho bucksheesh is heard
iu the distance.
This is a Christian martyr of Rou
mania. He leans up against the awning
post, and remarks that thero isn’t any
uso iu Roumaniang around here nny
longer. He is a book agent. He has
been kicked down three pair of stairs,
chased through an alley, bit by two
dogs, been bit with a poker, slapped
with a boot-jack, had a lump raised on
him with a barrel stave, been punched
into a cistern, got lost twice in strange
streets, been arrested fou,r times on
charges of vagrancy and on general sus
picion, been chased out of town once as
a swindler, whipped by a drayman, rob
bed of his watch, lost his hat, been call
el 789,000 different kinds of names, and
sold two books, one of which the man
took and never paid him for, and on the
other he made a gross profit of 82 cents.
He is not rich, is this book agent. But
he is good. Be kind to the book agent.
: You may publish a book of your own
you will want sold some day.

Last week, returning from Sagnache, 1

fact, that the blood was flowing rapidly
down them. Their bodies looked like
raw steaks, and the heavy sound of the

stood a large wooden cross, which, I was

crucified one of their number last Spring,

him so long that he died.

PROOF.
WHAT IS NEEDED.
Boston, Februarv 13, 1871.
Mr. H. R. Stevf.ns :
Dear Sir - Abont one year since I found my
self iu a feeble condition from general debi ity.
VEGETINE was strongly recommended to me
by a friend who had been much benefited by
its uso. 1 procured the article, and after usiug
several bottles, was restored to health and dis
continued its use. I feel quite confident that
there is no medicine superior to it for those
complaints for which it is especially prepared,
and would cheeifully recommend it to those
