| WHAT MAKES A MAN ?
Not numerous years,’nor lengthened life,
Nor pretty children and a wife;
No' pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor auy such, like trumpery tilings;
Nor pipe, cigar, nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine;
Nor coat, nor boots,jior*yct n list,
A dandy vest, or trim cravat;
Nor all the world's wealth laid in store;
Not Mister, Rev'rend, Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Not ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went from Nonnnudy to kill;
Not Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew tore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled o'er;
Not Judge’s robe, nor Mayor's mace,
Nor crowns that deck the royal race ;
These, ail united, never can
Avail to make a single tunb.
A truthful houl, a loving mind.
Full of affection for its kind;
1 A helper of the hutnau race,
A soul of beauty and of grace;
A spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bent the knee;
That will not bear a feather’s weight,
Os slavery's cliaiu for small orgreat;
• That truly speaks of Uod’withln,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fetter* despots make,
And loves the trutli for it* own sake ,
That worships God, and Iliin'aloiir,
And Imiws nowhere but at his throne;
That tiemblcs at no tyrant's nod—
A (toiil that Iters no_on<- but God,
And lltiis can stuilu at curse and ban —
That is the soul that make* a man.
OUR SANCTUM “BOAR.”
He comes, lie cornea, our sanctum “ lioar,”
To tell what sonic one said ;
Ho brings us news we’ve beard before,
J»nt never brings a “red."
He reads our manuscript, and tries
To tip a knowing squint,
He tfik'-s great pains to criticise,
Jilt never takes a hint.
Exchanges arc our men Lil bread,
Our liearl's blood to the ciftr,
He opens all with glutton greed,
Bui opens not the door.
Wa« ever human so beset
By such, on sea or shore?
Job was human, hut we'll bet,
lie never had a “ boar.”
A Market Rkpokt. —Some disconsolate
clerk, who tries in vain to conceal ltis iden
tity, gives tltc following account of a heavy
business transaction:
Bite stood beside the counter,
The day he’ll ne’er forget;
Site thought Hie muslin dearer
Than sny she’d seen yet.
He watched iter playful fingers
Tltc silks and satins toss—
The clerk looked quite unifcsy,
And nodded to the boss.
“ Show me some velvet ribbon,
Barege, and satin Turk,"
She said; “ I want to purchase;"
Then gave the goods a jerk.
The clerk was all obedience;
He travelled on “ his shape;"
At length, with hesitation,
She bought a yard of tape!
MISCHIEF.
Who daily toddles all about,
Turns topsy turvey, inside out,
All movables the house throughout ?
Mischief.
Who in the saucepan dropped )tis«hoc,

You little rogue, we know ’twas you—
Mischief.
Who nips nut’s “ jwisies” in the bud ?
Who blacks ltis shoes with yellow mud?
Who made tltc bath-room all one flood?
Mischief.
Who now lies sleeping on tho floor,
With cherry lips, and pinafore,
And face besmeared with cherry gore?
Mischief.

THE I»IVCR’S STOUY.
I was one of the party organized by
Wella and McGowan, that went out
front New York in 185— to raise or
wreck the vessels sunk in Sebastapol
by the Russians during the Crimean
war.
I remained with the party until the
line-of-battie ship “Twelve Apostles"
was raised, hut on the day that was
accomplished, ray partner, Charley
May, lost his life. He was the best
friend I ever had. We met when I
first lauded as an English emigrant
boy in Boston. Soon becoming much
attached to each other, he procured
me employment aud learned me the
business of u, diver. Alter I became
move proficient titan himself, and was
able at all times to command a good
situation, I always took him for a
partner.
Alter his death I had no heart to
work where everything reminded me
of him, and taking his body with me,
I proceeded to Constantinople, where
I shipped it to ltis mother.
It seemed ns if ray heart had gone
with poor Charley, and I wandered
listlessly around the streets, thinking
or caring little for the future, until 1
met the commander of a Turkish brig,
witli whom I had a slight acquain
tance. lie informed me that a vessel
and valuable cargo had been lately
sunk by collision in the harbor of
Trcbizondc, and by going there I
could make advantageous arrange
ments for raising iter. 1 followed his
advice, aud in a few days was working
hard at tlte vessel upon the most re
munerative terms.
One afternoon, while walking along
tlte shore, my atteutiou was attracted
by a large crowd gathered around a
party of Circassian women aud child
ren going on board a ship bound for
Constantinople. As slave dealers
were present in numbers, none of them
were railed, and 1 looked curiously
on until struck by the appearance and
expression of countenance of one of
the party, who was about fourteen
years of age, and possessed more than
the usual beauty and sjimnetry of
form and features characteristic of
iter race. Site stood in marked con
trast to her companions, who did not
appear downcast at leaving tiieir
people and country for tlte unknown
realities of life ltoyond the sort, but
were happy in their dreams of future
harctn life. She had such an expression
of dejection and disconsolate misery
upon her fair and beautiful features,
that my heart was touched witli pify
for her.
She caught tltc expression of my
countenance, aud addressed ms in her
native language and in tho most plain
tive tones of appeal:
“ Save me! save me!"
That was impossible to me, as the
vessel's lines were thrown off for de
parture, and site was worth several
hundred pounds, while I could not
control a tenth part of the stun. I An
swered in tones that showed the depth
of my regret:
“1 wish to God I could; but that
is impossible now.”
This only added to her despair, and
convulsively clasping her hands, her
voice broke forth in its wildest tones,
uttering a prayer that death might
come to her relief before she landed.
I could say nothing more, ns I had
not then acquired fifty words of her
language, and in a few minutes she
was gone.
I continued my walk, but that ap
pealing face haunted me with re
proach for days. For weeks the
splashing waves seemed echoing her
words when I was fathoms deep below
their surface. I cursed myself for my
spendthrift habits, as they had ab
sorbed all my gains, but I resolved to
keep a sharp iMk-out for that face
when I retui nwßb Constantinople.
In a few months I finished that job,
which proved a very remunerative one.
My profits amounting to a small for
tune, I resolved to return to my
native village in old England, and
spend the remainder of my life in
quiet and humble contentment.
I could not, however, resist the
prompting to stop at Constantinople
n hopes of finding the peerless little
beauty of Trebizonde, though I was
aware of the few chances of success,
as it was not probable such a prize
would wait long for a purchaser.
After days of luckless search, I
gave up in despair and completed my
arrangements for leaving, but on the
morning of my intended departure, I
wandered listlessly into one of the
slave markets, and there stood the
object of my search. She was so
sadly altered as at first to cause a
doubt of her identity, but that was
quickly dispelled as my heart boun
ded with the joy of her recognition.
I inquired of the dealer in a care
less tone, the price of the sickly girl
in the rich cashmere. His eyes bright
ened as he expatiated upon what she
had been and would be again when
■he recovered her health, that had
become temporarily affected by her
continued bemoaning the death of her
father and her own slavery. I tried
to hide my eagerness, bnt soon con
cluded a bargain, and she was mine.
As she with tearful joy {toured forth
her thanks in words of which I did
not understand one in ten, I was the
happiest man in the Turkish Empire.
1 could only pronounce or under
stand the simplest words of her lan
guage, and when I asked her name she
gave me such a long unpronounceable
oue, that I called her Jessie, as that |
name had always sounded so sweetly
to me, and had been associated witli !
some ol the happiest hours of my past
life.
When I had found her, I lost all
desire to return to England, and in a
few days took charge of a small party
bound for the Black Sea to wreck a
sunken steamer, whither Jesse accom
panied tfm. In a short time she did
not appear to have a thought that
was not lost in her devotion to me.
She would follow me as closely and
uqquesti juingly as a household pet,
and seemed uneasy when I was out
of her sight, as if fearful of lieing taken
away.
The first time I went down in diving
armorshc wait much interested,though
somewhat nervous, while the prepara
tions were being made, bat when I
dropped alongside and began to des
cend,, the attendants were compelled
to draw me up. It seemed as if she
would die with fears for my safety.
No amount of reasoning would quiet
her apprehension, and I eeulcl only
proceed after inducing her to go below
and locking her in where site could
not sec me.
It was not long before I realized
that beautiful child had so entwined
herself around my heart that hope
held out no picture in which she stood
not in its strongest ]iglit I then
resolved to return to England, where
1 could educate her, hoping when she
was a woman that I might win Iter
woman’s heart anti in her find a de
voted wife.
During all the time she had been
with me, I never for a moment lost
my usual cold, calculating mien, or
addressed her except as I might ad
dress a slave. When I pretended
displeasure at some frivolous action,
tears would conic in Iter eyes, and
with trembling lips site would express
her regret for what she had done,
while my heart would smite me for
my cruelty, lint no words could ex
press what her whole manner did—of
unreserved, grateful devotion to my
self.
We sailed down the Mediterranean,
nnd at Gibraltar took a bteamcr, on
board of which were quite a number
of persons returning from India,
among whom were Sir John and
ltis family. lie became very much
interested in Jesse, as lie was conver
sant with two or three Asiatic dialects,
which he found she spoke . quite llu
cntly, aud through hint 1 learnt what
she knew of iter own past history,
lfow her father had dared resist what
lie considered an invasion of his rights;
had been defeated and slain, and s!;o
captured and sold into slavery.
Despite many misgivings, in defer
ence to the earnest solicitations of
Sir John and ltis family, 1 was com
pelled to consent tf> Jessie's remaining
witli them until her education was
completed, and on our arrival in Eng
land we'went at once to his country
Rent. I was not accustomed to such
j society, and soon left to go to work
\ again. Though I was proud to know
what a position the patrouageof such
a family would give my protege , 1 was
not a wit jealous of the son, a Captain
in the ltities. who .seemed very
much interested in her.
When 1 left her, I expressed #o
words of affection or regret—only In
formed her how pleased I should bo
to hear of her rapid advancement.
She assured me of iter intention to
devote her whole mind and energy to
the fulfilment of my wishes, and whilst
she was covering my hand with kisses
i walked away, not trusting myself
for a single word.
1 returned to New York and went
to work out on the Sound and its
vicinity, never writing to Jessie, and
only hearing from her through Sir
John; thinking thus to leave her un
trammeled, and hoping to win her
heart and not her gratitude when she 1
was a woman.
After two years and a half, I returned
to England. Having telegraphed my
arrival, I approached the house, nerved
for a cool womanly reception, bat was
most happily disappointed. She met
me at the door, and in her eyes 1 read
tbe reciprocation of my own happiness
at the meeting.
All my assumed reserve and self
conttol was gone as she stood before
me—the most beautiful creature I ever
beheld—l led her in the library, and
in ten minntea had confessed how
long and tenderly I had loved her,
and she was my attlancad wife.
I found Sir John and his family
greatly attached to Jessie, much
pleased to see me, and anxious to
make my visit as pleasant as possible.
She and I passed the time more like
two children than man and woman,
and under the magnetism of the pas
sionless purity of a true woman’s
nature, I felt a change in my own
heart, and a purification of its promp
tings and purposes. That which was
once love was transformed into mad
idolatry.
It was agreed that we should be
married after her next vacation, and
again we said farewell, though there
was a great contrast between this and
onr former parting. At the last mo-
ment she took a small opal ring from
her finger and placet! it on mine, say
ing : “ With this I give you all I have;
let it lie typical of myself, for all I
j have is yours.”
J W ith one passionate, loving em-
I brace, and a few whispered words of
hope, I tore myself away.
I then went out to South America,
and for a few months I heard from her
by every mail and wrote in return.
Ah! those dear letters; here they'arc
near my heart still, where they have
ever remained, under every vicissitude
of a frowning fortune, though faded
and soiled beyond legibility.
After five months, 1 was attacked
by one of the malaria] fevers peculiar
to that locality, and i resolved to re
turn to EuglAiul so soon as sufficient
ly recovered, and wrote to Jessie ac
cordingly.
I embarked on board the French
brig Louise, bound for London. On
tltc twentieth day out, we were over
taken by a fearful gale, during which,
I and three others were washed over
board, w itli a large portion of the
after bulwarks and cabin. After sixty
hours of horrible suffering, two of us
were picked up, more dead Ilian live,
by an American whaler.
Oh, how hope deferred makes the
heart grow old ! Never for a moment
was Jesse absent from my mind, but
minutes rolled slowly ‘into hours,
hours Into days that dragged their
torturous lengths iuto months, and
their snail-paced revolutions brought
long years around before I stood again
on my native shore.
In those two years of tort uring sus
pense my own sorrow was often hid
with tlte picture of the burdened heart
and tear-dimmed eyes still watching
for niv coming, for hope whispered
site was all my own.
1 arrived at that station nearest Sir
John’s early in the morning. Upon
inquiring of the station-master for
conveyance to tltc end of my journey,
he asked.
“ What is your object in going out
there ? Tlte steward is in town.’’
“ Where is Sir John?”
“He went to tlte Continent after
his son’s marriage, four mouths ago."
I houghts Hashed across my mind
that had never made their impress
there before, the fioor seemed flouting
beneath me, ami Ihe veins in my tem
ples swelled almost to bursting, us I
asked:
“ Whom did the Captain marry ?’’
“ M lty, that Asiatic beauty who
came fromludia with his father a few
years ago."
I saw and heard nothing more. It
scented as if my heart was turned to
lead and alive to no sensation save
the hopelessness of despair.
II lien I regained my composure, 1
was on the cars, going I neither knew
nor cared whither, and in a few hours
I was in London ; but in that vast
wilderness of human architecture and
amongst its inhabitants, there was
nothing to interest me. The light of
my life had gone out. Not a single
spark remained. No hard thoughts
of Jesse came up, for I saw, or thought
I saw it all—she looked upon tne as
dead and married through gratitude.
The thought that site was not false to
me living, was a drop of comfort in
tltc desert of my despair, and thinking
she might be happier, I resolved that
she should never know of my exist
ence.
Acting upon litis resolution, / took
passage for the United States. On the
ship, / accidentally learned that
Jessie and her husband had gone out
to Canada, whither his regiment had
been ordered, and resolved to steer
clear of their vicinity, but could never
erase her image from tny mind, and in
my dreams lived over the past only
to mock my waking hours.
About two years after I arrived in
New York, while /sat on board one
of the floating palaces of the Hudson,
idly scanning the few passengers, my
heart stood still as /recognized Jesse
promenading between her husband
and father-in-law. There she was be
fore me, slightly pale, witli a shadow
of dejection upon her brow, but more
beautiful than ever
At the sight, her dear prototype,
which / thought lay buried bcneatli
the smouldering ashes of expired hope,
on tho altar of my heart, sprung into
life quicker titan thought. It was not
dead, but athingof life, and its quick
| cuing power thrilled along my veins
like an electric shock.
/ retained the consiousneM that 1
was changed beyond possibility of
' recognition, and stood near their line
of promenade. My heart seemed burs
' ting while drinking in the delicious
joy of her presence; but when she
disappeared down the stairway, chil
ling darkness gathered over again,
and for oue lighting smile of recog
nition I would have given all that
years to come held out to me. For
the breath of one loving word upon
my heart, / would gladly have laid
down my life. Then the grim spec
tre—“what might have been”—re
vealed through memory’s halls, over
turning the pedestals' of its sacred
hopes, and reflected back a smile of
derisive mockery.
There was no sleep for me so near
her, and I continued my promenade
on the cabin guards until late at night.
I had scarcely thought of a lady who
had fallen asleep upon a sofa just be-
NO. 10.
yond the point nt which I turned in
j my walk, until / saw Sir John ap
proach, throw a shawl lightly upon the
sleeping form, and retire. That was
j Jessie. Tito madness of despair rose
within me, and I resolved to have one
i kiss if it cost both onr lives.
/ was liending over with my lips
almost upon Iter check, when Sir John
opened one of tho doors leading to
the saloon, in the light of which / was
; distinctly visible. JIo sprang at me,
but witli superhuman strength, 1
j crushed him to the floor, aud with my
I left hand upon his throat, and my
j open knife in the right, I hoarsely
whispered :
| /am Edward Morris. Your son,
thinking me dead, robbed me of that
woman, who was ail tlie world to me.
ft is better they still think me dead.
Here you must swear never to reveal
my existence to a living soul.”
When he had sworn / released my
hold, aud he warmly in-asi>ed my
hand, saying:
“ You are a noble fellow, and de
serve a better fate.”
/ did not reply, but bent again over
the pure little woman before me, and
pressed my lips upon her cheek. She
partially awoke, and, putting her arm
about my neck, kissed me in return,
while softly came the whispered words:
“ Good night, darling.”
/knew that kiss was stolen, and the
words addressed to another; but they
seemed the good-night to ho]>c in my
heart, and / staggered away, only
regretting 4 was denied the boon of
dying then, witli her arms around my
neck.
Since that hour, time seems to have
gone wrong with me ; I cannot remain
idle, and I have no heart to work. *
know that I ant on tlie downward path
of life, hut when the end comes 1 can
feci that 1 have not existed in vain;
that there are those who are happier
than l have lived.
While days come round to me, will
tlie evening zephyrs leave her soft
breath upon my check, aud as the
restless waves chant the requiem of
departed hope, l can hear in their
myriad voices the whispered words,
“Good-night, darling.”
