j from the German of Heinrich Heine.
Out of doors the storm winds whistle ;
Solily, thickly, falls the snow ;
Snugly by the hpßrth I nestle,
In the bright and cheering glow.
Pensive tit I on the settle,
Watch the smoke wreathes, they rise •
From the merrv, babbling kettle,
Come long perished melodies.
Bv the fire tho kitten, sitting.
Revels in tho warmth and Kgh';
In the f*iadow“, vague and flitting,
Forms fantastic meet my sight.
At tny memory’s portal knocking,
Come the long forgotten days,
Countless recollections flacking,
Iu the dazzling, glittering maze ;
Lovely maids, with flashing glances,
Beckon, with seduoiive air ;
Harlequins in ogi.o dances,
Spring and glisten here and there.
Lucent marbles glimmer faintly,
Hidden in « leafy veil;
White-haired friars, grave and saintly,
Stand within the aitar-.rail.
And I hear the blue-bells tinkle ;
And beneath their foliage bright,
See the fury violets twinkle
In the moon’s soft flood of light:
In the.fire caves, red and glowing,
Many an old enchanted tower,
Manv a knight to battle goinc,
Rise, called up by memory’s power.
With the fire's expiring glimmer.
Shadow—!ik*\ they all are gone ;
Still I hear the kettle simmer,
And the sleepy kitten vawn.
THE FEMALE PILOT.
An Englinh brg-of-war lay to oiY the
Southern shore of the Island of Fit-re,
which is one of 'ho Hebrides .on the west
ern coast erf Scotland. And the hri<; has
just captured a prize. She hats been sent
up af er smugglers, and h id” taken one of
the most notorious of the smuggling crew
—tt stout, bold, reckless man named Dan
iel Kenmore. He was commander of a
smuggling ve.-ee 1 , and the chief spirit
among the contrabandis’s of that section.
When Kenmore knew that his vessel must
be taken if she remained above water, he
deliberately knocked a h'g hole in her bot
tom, and sunk her where she lay. His
crew was sent off before he did this, and
they made their escape. He retained a
light skiff, hoping to make his escape also.
His daughter was with him, she having
refused to leave the vessel before him
T hey had entered (he skiff, and whi ethey
stopped to see the o]d vessel go down, a
off. It war too late now to escape, .rm
Kenmore saw that resistance would be
useless, so he gave himself up with as good
grace as possible.
Flora Kenmore was eighteen years of
age, and possessed all the rugged beauty
of her Highland country-women. Her
eye was large, and its glance pouldjw as
soft as the whisp rs of love, or as piercing
as the glare of the enraged lion. She w s
not large in frame —far from it —but she
was stout and strong, and her very stop
was ’he language of pride and self control.
A noble mail could have loved her most
dearly, but a coward would have trembled
with conscious littleness before her. She
was taken with her father, and carried on
board the br’g-nf-vvar.
“ Ah, Donald Kenmore,” uttered the
commander of tlie brig, as tlte smuggler
was lei to the quarter-deck, ‘‘you and I
have met before.”
‘ Ay, Captain Thornhill, we have,’ re
turned thesrnuggl r, in a calm, prw»'id tone.
“Twice I have captured; but now your
turn has cemc."
‘•And I think tho people will thank me
for it,” the Englishman said.
The people-! utte'ed Kenmore, indig
nantly. fSaV the people’s ruter*! No
sir! the people have been hlcssel by me
too much tor that. Go ask the poor men
upon whose tables I have placed the lux
uries of life at a cost which they could af
ford, if they will thank thee for taking
away their t en.efaotor! No, John Thorn
hill! They cannot pay what the British
lords would force from them to .help in
sustaining an army of noblemen in luxuri-
ous indolence and uselessness ! (do, now,
and ask the people—the producers ot Eng
land and Scotland—the works s—which
has b friended yhem—Donald Kenmore or
your shap-nosed cruisers 1 ’

<• Well, sir, I can assure you that you
will meet one of two Lies; you wiH either
he transported for bfe, or be hung ! ’
11 So I supposed,’’ add the smuggler,
mithout the movement of a muscle.
Tho commander was now called to at
tend to making sail, and Donald Kenmore
was led away forward and put in ch mis

father’s side. . ,
About an hour after the brig had made
sail, the first iieutenanj, a stout, coarse fel
low, named Woder. came up t> where
F ora stood, and placing Ins hand upon her
fair neck, he a-ked her for a kiss bhe
Parted hack, and while her eyes flashed
fire, she drew a small pistol from her bo;-
orn and cocked it. , . ,
u Miserahle'dog !” she uttered, in a low,
firm*tone, “dare to place your foul touch
| upon me again, and you shall die i
“ Tut, tut my pretty bird, cried \\ ool
er “you wouldn’t be so cruel But his
voice trembled, and his frame shook with
the mortification be tried to hide,
I 'hii’k you will not tempt nre, at a .
events!" the maiden returned with injny.
Tho lieutenant bit his lips, and his fists
were clinched ; but he had not tho daring
to go further, so he turned away and
walked uft. From that moment the crew
looked upon tho maiden with admiration*.
They did not like Wooler.
It was afernoon when the brig squared
away; aryl as the wind was light and baf
fling, she made but little headway. It was
past four o’clock when she passed if raid,
and by that time tho v\i id had yli.nl almost
to a calm, but not to a "pleasing culm. Tho
hfiav ns had grown dark, thctiir cold and
puffing, and night .coined coming on with
the suu yet up. Cap. Thornhill gave or
ders for taking off the sail, and ere long
the b ig lay under dosed-ruefed topsail and
fore staysail.
At sun own tho winl came inirotn the
southward and westward; and by the time
niidit had fairly settled down it blew a
glo The captain tried awhile to keep to
the wind under the three sai s he had left
on, but the wind was too strong. It. blew
a perlect burrican, and the sea b> gnrt to
rise and rise over tho deck ; and ere long
it became evident that one of the topaai.s
must be taken off.
It was a bad place in which to he caught
thus. Thornhill knew that he muse be
near the mouth of the sound of Mull, and
if he lay to, the gale would tend to drive
him up into it. He was not acquainted
wkh the place, and though he had good
charts, yet lie did not feel safe.
Higher and higher grew the furious
wind, until the Very sen seemed dancing
over the frail bark. The mast groaned
and creaked, the rigging grated iu.d strain-’
etl, and every crack and seam gaped be
neath the fearful strain. The wind liowle I
and roared, and tho mad sea surged and
boiled, until the whole scene appeared but
the result of a furious war of the frantic
elements.
At midnight Captain Thornhill began to
be frightened. The wind was not only un
abated, ba the min had begun to drive
down, and- tne night was as black as one
soli i mass of ink.
“ Wooler,’’ ha said, ns he drew his oiled
jacket up over his face to protect it from
the driving rain, ‘‘can you not hear tho lour
of beakers ?”
“ I have thought I heard them for some
time,’’ returned the lieutenant, holding
firmly by the iif -line to prevent b ing
washed away by the freaking seas.
“And yet we can do nothing,” tho enp
tain resumed, being obliged to cry out
wth all bis strength to make his voice
sound above the roar of the elements “To
veer an atom would he sure destruction.
liut we cannot live so much longer Eve
ry rope and stick is strained now to its ut
most. 0, if we had room to run off be
fore it ”
“ But wo haven’t,” was Wooler's re-
WKV.c uc a.••
seemed to increase rather than diminish.
It was near the autumnal equinox, and
there was every prospect that the storm
would he a long one. Tho rain still fell in
torrents, and the heavens were black, and
their air dark. Thornhill had no idea of
his wl ereabouts, for bow Jar the brig had
been driven by the fnry of the night ho
could not tell ; yet he supposed he must
bo somewhat near th i chops of the bound
of Mull.
It was a few minutes past sis when the
ci| tan was start ed by a loud cry forward,
• mil on working his way thither he found
that the foremast was sprung just above
the pipe rack. He had hardly discovered
the another shout from she
poop culled hitn aft, and hurrying back
again a sight met his gaze that made his
liiHirt leap with horror. Directly under
the lee quarter, and not over a quarter of
a mile distant, was a bold rocky coast, over
which the sea was da hing fearfully : And
all along, too, to the northward, the same
horrid scene extended. .
“Good God!” cried Cooler, at this
moment pointing o>e r the weather low
44 there are more races there. See. see.
We are sun. uncled !”
The men were called, hut not one of
them knew the shores. .
‘■Bring up Donnald Kenmore! erred
Wooler. , ,
“ Ah ! we will,” answered the enptum
And tho smuggler was sen’ for.
The old m u was sent on and ek—he had
been carried below when the storm reach
ed its fury—but Ifo could not tell where
the brig was.
“ But ” he added my child has been a
pilot in these waters for over four years,
and there is not a rock nor shoal ia the
Sound o’Mull she don’t know.
4 Ila, Donnald Kenmore, do you speak
truly now.”
“ I do. Until within a month she has
been with her trother. and ha* rdrnost
lived among the rocks of tho Sound
Flora Kenmore was sent for at once
She came up and taking her station near

of the life lines for support, she gazed care
fully aroun l. It was truly a terrific scene
Or/al! hands now. save on the weather
quarter alone, tho huge breakers were piled
U p an ! stretched along. Not a muscle of
the maiden’s body quivered, nor did
her check blanch; hut boldly she stood
! there, and her gaze was calm aud assured
| “Lady,”spoket 1 ecaptain whosebr-ght-
I ened look was in strange contrast with the
I expression that rested upon Ftora Leu*
more’s fair features, 14 do ypu know where
you are?”
“ I do, sir- exactly!” was the sure reply.
“ Ila ! and can the brig bo saved ? ”
44 Ah, sir. In less than two horns this
brkr can be run into an harbor where this
storm wou'd * e but as a summer shower !*
“ And can you do it?” •
“ it I try.”
“Uy heavens! then do it! Do it and
any sum you shall name shall ho y urs L”
444 Hold,” said the noble girl. “ l want

‘ “XVhat?”

“Hut ho isu State pti.oner. I havo no

“ Hut yon havo tho power, air. You

But c nsider, my girl. Your life is at

“ I know i' sir, and I am prepar' and! forit.
What’s my life worth to me if my father
must he; but you may depend open

| fath r—swear to tne that wo may both go
away free and untno’esfec! when your nn
chors are safely down, and you shall ho
saved. If you will nt do tiiis then your
hours are numbered. I know where you :
are, anti wi houttho aid of one who knows ;
these rocks, this vessel cannot ride one |
hour longer 1”
*’ Give him up!’’ cried Wooler, whose
lace was pale as death. Ho sure you wout
bend her an atom.”
The captain dared hesitate no longer.- •
The rest of tho offu ■ers seconded Wooler’s ]
request ami.ho gave iu.
“ have Us,"’ he said turning to tho maid
en once more; save us, and your father
shall be free 1”
“ Do you swear this?’’
“ I do—most solemnly; and I call on
all present to witness that when this vessel
is safe, if your father and yourself go nut
whither you will 1 am a perjured man!
Now the helm is yours.”
On the instuut Flora seemed filled with
new life.
“ Lay the yards square !” sho cried at
thd top of her voice. “Euso up the helm.
Let two faithful men take tiie wheel!’’
There orders were obeyed, and ere long
the bri g was dashing off before the wind.
An opening was made in tho rocky coast
ahead.
“ That is Lunga on the quarter, ” the
maiden said, “and ahead we have a dozen
small Islands. Here comes the Devil’s
rock on the starboard bow, anil that on
tho aft is McDonald’s crown. Port a little
—steady—so!’’
The hearts of the men leaped up, and
there seemed to hang for some moments.—
Hut on went the flying vessel—the heavy
spray actually dashing over the deck from
the towering rocks—now (in' this hand,
uow on that—and yet she went safely on.
If site had gone through such a dubios
channel, then why should she not pass the
rest ?
1 lie men became more ea*y, even though
the horrors wero as palpable as ever. The
course of the brig lay through a hissing,
rushing, tumbling, surge, with rocks still
on every hand. And there stood the fair
pilot, her keen eye flashing, her finely chisel
led m strils dilated, and her noble form
drawn proudly up. Her orders wrropromp*
and as-ireJ, aud ojufidmco was in every
look and tone.
At length the vessel eti’e-ed a narrow
.strait not ovar u uiilu wide. »>u> <h»
the left. In hail an hour inoro the straits
was passed—another group of rocks cleared
—ana yet the gallant bark flew safely over
the storm-mad sea.
“Stand by the braces !” cried Flora now
showing a little excitement. “Mind your
h bill Round in carefully on the larboard
braces ! Keep the others taut ! Helm
a port ! easy—easy ! ’
The brig bowed to the wind most fearful
ly now that her side was presented to it, and
the masts bent like reed* —but rbe failed
not A high promontory was passed—and
in a few moments more the deep labor ceas
ed. The brig righted, tho masts grew
straight and the sails had dune straining
The water moved only in long swells, aud
as the men locked ahead through the falling
<ain, they saw the smooth haven stretching
away up in the laud-—a haven into which
the southern storm demon emi’d not corns,
and where the weary hark could h’at rest.
It was the long, narrow inlet ofKilmore.
At length the sail was taken “ff, tho an
chora dropped, and then the men crowded
about their fair pilot to bless bo-for the
-ervico she had done them. But she asked
not their thanks, though she could not re
fuse their gratitude.
< I hate saved my father,” she said, “and
that is all to me. Ltusgo on sh..re now,”
“But nut in this storm,” urged the cap-
tain.
“Yes,” persisted Flora. “We are not
at, home here but .-n shore 1 shall find a
sheltering roof, and open arms to receive us
Captain Thornhill felt too grateful to
make any ohjettiuns, and he had a boat bw-
qred at once.
“G and bless you !” ho said, as ho grasped
Fiora by the Lund ; “and when, in time to
come, wc call each other to mind, l trust
you imv feel something of tho friendliness
tiwards mo which I must ever cherish for
you.” Then he turned to Donald. “And
to you D maid Kenmore, let mo say, tjod
grant I may never iiieSt you again when
the duty of my station oould make you my
enemy. F rewell!
And in a few moments more the smug
gler and his child were on their way to the
Thore A sheltering rrof soon spread its
protection over them, and warm friends wel
comed them to the fireside.
Donald Kenmore and John Thornhill
never met again, f< r 'ho old man had money
• nou ’h, and when bis noble daughter, short
ly after the startling adventure we have rc
coided, gavejhcr hand aud hear to tho man
who Bid loved her loog and truly, ho found
a home with them.
S&* Durint; tno violent hurricane of iho
11th, on the French coast, two kindred mor

This remedy I consider a boon to the
public, for this reason : It is so easily man
aged—any ono can make a decoctiou or in
fusion of the root.
An ounce of the root siloed, and infused

L’our of tho eases in my hospital havo been
severe confluent eases : means
where tho head, face and nock are swollen
into a miiibappen mass, and the pustules
thickly running into each other.) They
have, throughout the discaae, all been perfect
ly sensible, have had exellent appetites,
been free from pain, aud have never felt
weak. The effect of this medicine, wbioh I
have carefully watched, teemed to arrest
the developemcnts of tho pnstnlcs, killing,
as it were, tho virus from within, thereby
changing the character of the diseaso and do
ing away with the oauso of pitting (if I may
so express myself to tho uninitiated) and
thus avoiding the necessity of gutra peroha
and India rubber application, or of opening
the pnstuTte In my opinion, all anticipa
lions of disfigurement from pitting may oovr
be ch-uned, if this medicine is given from tho
coßirruuno merit of the disease.

We are like the fellow that was forcod to go

tho animals growling inside, and the cracking
of the ringmaster’s whip, but we can’t see
the shew unbar we pay for two aud take in

keep a great eagle perched ever tho entrance,
which, if you attempt to go hack, swoops

they ought either to let us pass in or refund
