The Legend of Bnllmrst,
BY SALLIE A. BROCK, OP VIRGINIA.
Afiown iu’old Virginia, which long bath borno
Tho proud and gracious title: “Old Dominion”
And long tbo reverend namo of “Mother”—
Because it was the first of all our States
In which the white-man reared- his humble
home,
And built an altar to the Christian's God—
And near a modest littlo rustic town.
With pretty Indian namo, whoso churches'
spires,
And mossy roofs, that graceful lift themselves
Amid a wealth of foliage green, are mirrored
In tho Rappahannock's classic waves, that
Broad and blue, doth furrow out a sinuous
Pathway to tho sea—there stands a mansion
ol.d.
’Twas built in rudo Elizabethan style, ’
With high-peeked gables, andjsteep, sloping
roofs,
And dormer windows hanging o’er the eaves,
That jut out like deep arching eyebrows,
above
Tho doors and windows down below; on which
The rose and honeysucklo climb, and the
Fragrant jasmino with it3 snow-white stars ;
While stretching boldly forth, and far aronnd,
Is noble lawn, eustudded thick with old
Primeval trees, whoso branching arms extend
Asjif to shelter all beneath ; and when with
Foliago clad, doth form a mystic net work
For tho play oflight and shade; which stealeth
Down upon the sward in wanton merriment,
And danceth to the music of the breeze.
And this old homestead bears the namo of
Bathurst.
’Tis said ’twas reared well nigh two hundred
years
Agonojand certain ’tis, the strong oak floors —
As |smooth .as polished glass—are strangely
worn
In channels deep, as are the tilings round
The High Altar of St. John Lateran
In Romo, whore penitents for centuries
Have offered up their sacrificial prayers.
’Twas reared—this homestead—when all about
In forest stood, and dextrous, in and out
The Indian hnnter chased the hear and deer,
And mayhap human game.
By oue ,’twas reared,
Whose noble name iujheraldry had long
Been known, and on whoso ’scutclioon gleamed
That motto grand : Virtus Millia Scute ;
And this was talisman from aught that e’er
Might tempt to stain his shield.
Ho was of those—
The gallant cavaliers—that in our western
wilds
Planted a nation that, at thi3 day is seen
In all that makes a nation great, emprise
Or intelligence, second to none—not one
That power wields upon the world’s broad
disc.
Fall soon aronnd, tho giant trees he felled,
And where they had stood, peeped forth tho
verdant
Sward, like velvet greon, and wavod tho corn,
and
Browsed the kine; and acres broad stretched
out
To follow acres, till, like a Baron of
Tho olden days, he looked about, and far
As eye could reach o’er field and wood, he saw
His own ; save where the Rappahannock cut
His wide domain, and grumbling in its course
Flows to tho sea. In course of years his name
Was multiplied—for he from England’s shores
Had borne a bride of ono of England’s noblest
Lines, —and sons grew up around them, stal
wart,
Brave and fair—four sons—and one sweet
daughter,
The ypungest and the fairest of them all.
—Time came, when, she, a maiden stood, two
years
Apart the “sweet sixteen,” when Love, asleep,
Till then, starts into life, with every plumed
Arrow tipped with honeyed gall: and her
Yoting hand was sought by many of the youths
Around—old planters’ sons of lineage good,
And fair desert, and soughtby one, her father
Deemed her equal. (For few there were in all
The province thus esteemed.] And silent,
trembling
With the hope that borders deep on sea
while
Visions of the swift-coming future glowed
In all the grand and gorgeous imagery
Os oriental dream—almost the day
Came on, when she, her well loved name
should doff
For one that had still dearer grown. Well
pleased,
Tho father and the mother saw the blush
Which mantled her pure cheek, the kindling
light
Which flashed within her lnstrous, dark grey
eyes,
At mention of the fact that she was soon
To lose her maidon self in wedlock’s tie,
And at that thought, which filled her soul
with bliss
Known only to a loving woman’s heart,
She ready was, to throw her happy girlhood
To the past, and with an earnest womans will,
Take all a wife’s and woman’s cares.

Watching with all a brother’s ’pride, and
brother’s
Yearning love, and wondering at the strange,

That had such beauty added to his sister’s
Beauteous face—“My son, bore, take this key
And go into the wine-cellar, dark and deep,

Well, my son, your great-great-grand father
Imported them from cellars centuries old.
For his, in England ; and I, as heir,across
The oeean brought. ’Tis now, just eighteen

Since they were broached;’ and then it was
your sister’s
Health to drink, when she, a rosy babe, all
Covered up in lace, lay in the person’s arms
Who christened her. Oh you Jwere then a
buxom lad.
And cried to hold the little girl, for fear
The good old man might let her fall. Remem

Ha ! ha! Well now, go draw the wine, and

Once more, her health will drink, when she
again
In veil of lace is covered up, but ’Death
A crown of pearls—a peerless bride.
The wine—
It is so old—methinks it now must more
Than ever, look like melted topaz, or
Ruby, or like liquid amethyst. Yes ;
I would have my daughter’s wedding feast
such
As may well befit her blood for it is rich;
And in onr royal lands beyond tbe sea,
Where title meaneth much, would surely win
A ducal coronet—perhaps a prince’s crown.
—Dear me ! How idly do I talk! I look to see
Our country here, the model for all lands ;
And power and place for merit only
To be won. But lam proud, my son, per
chance
Am weakly proud. But go now, drawee

While this good serving-girl shall burnish
bright
The heavy cut-glass and the silver tankards
Blazoned with our arms ; and Virtus Millia
Scute, I’d have my children ne’er forget.
i :-i
The brother, fondling with sister’s ehin,
Held up her coral lips, and bending down
A kiss upon them pressed, and manly, taming
To his father, said : “Yes, father ; I will go,
And we will drink her health, bnt much I feat
My jealous heart will break, for she so dear .
Hath grown, my little pet, that I, to hipi
Revengeful feel, who thus hath dared to plant
His image in her heart. It may be lam
Selfish. If she be happy—well! If not
This hand of mine shall seek him out, and he
Shall learn what ’tis to feel a maddened broth
er’s
Vengeance—an outraged brother’s j ealousy.
She rose, and playful placed her fingers
On his lips, and twined her arms about his
neck,
And kissed him on each cheek, and something
said,
At which he tamed away, and brushed a tear
That dwelled like diamond on his eyelash ;
And as he turned, the maiden, trembling
sighed,
And sighed again, and then, she trusting
smiled
In all the holy strength of woman's faith.
And he went forth adown the rude old steps
And ladder Blight, and subterranean bails—
All tracked with slime of snails—with single
light , , . ii yviuu«o I
Os torch that threw a sickly glare ahead,
Until he came unto the cellar door,
And peered as best he could into the keyhole.
Over this, spiders skillfully had thrown
A gauzy veil, which he remorseless, toreaway-,
And thrust the key into the njety lock
That stubborn yielded to bis forceful might,'
Which would not stay at stiff and crqakiag
bolt.
The heavy door swung back all harshly gra
ting
On hinges long unused to tarn, and he,
With serving-man went in, but know no more.

With vagne unrest, unconcious creeping
In her heart, the daughter knelt and laid her

And soon was fast descending to thevale

S cken's First Night is Boston.
How well I recall the bleak wiu
tcrjpvjjpiog iu 1542 when .. first saw
lue handsome, glowing face of the
man who was even then f<r
tnous over halfthoglobe ) He came
oounding into the Tremont House,
fresh from the steamer that had
brought him to our shores, and his
cheery voice’rang through the hail as
he gave a quick glance at the new
scones opening upon him in a
strange laud on first arriving ala
Transatlantic hotel. “Here we are!”
he shouted, as the lights burst upon
the .merry party just entering the
house, and scverel gentlemen came
forward to greet him. Ah, how
happy and- buoyant he was then!
Young, handsome, almost worship
ped for his genius, belted round by
such troop's of friends as rarely ever
man had, coming to anew country
to make new conquests of fame and
honor, —surely it was a sight long to
| be remenjbared and never wholly to
be forgolton. The splendor of his
endowments and the personal inter
est he hid won to himself called
forth all the enthusiasm of old and
yoang America, and I am glad to
haVe be en among the first to witness
his arrival. You aak me what was
his appearance as he ran, or rather
(lew up the steps of the hotel, and
sprang into the hall. He seemed
all on fire with curiosity, and alive
as t never saw mortal before.—
From top to toe every fibre ot his
body was unrestrained and alert.
What Vigor, what keenness, what
freshness of spirit possessed him !
He laughed all over, and did not
care who heard him ! He seemed
like the Emperor of Cheerfulness on
a crqisp_ of pleasure, determined to
conquer a realm or two of fun every
hour ‘of ttig overflowing existence.
That night impressed itself on my
memory for all time, so far as I am
concerned with things snblunary.
,It was Dickens, the true “Box,” in
fUslt and Wood, who stood before us
at last, and with, my companions,
three or four lads of my own age,
J determined to sit up late that
night. None of us then, of course,
had the honor of an acquaintance
with tbe delightful stranger, and I
little thought that I should after
wards.com* to know him in .the
beaten way of friendship, and live
with him Jay after day iu years far
distant; that T should ever be so
near io him that he would reveal to
me his joys and his sorrows, find
thus that I shonld learn the story of
his life-from his own lips.
About midnight on that eventful
landing, “Box,”—everybody called
him “Box” in those days,—-having
finished bis sapper, came down into
the office of the hotel, and joined
the young Earl of M——lns fol
low-voyager, sallied out for a first
look at Boston streets. Tt was a
slinging night and the moon Whs at
the full. Every object stood oat
sharp and glittering, and “Box”
muffled up in a shaggy fur coat, ran
ovor the shining frozen snow, wise
ly keeping the middle of the street
for the most part. We boys follow
ed, cantj,QPsly behind, but near
enough not to lose any of the fun.
Os course the two gentlemen soon
lost their way on emerging into
Washington from Tremont streeL.
Dfcktens lccpt up one continual shout
of uprearous laughter as he went
rapidly forward, reading the signs
o& ihc Shops; and observing the
“architecture” of the new country
into wJycH,hphad dropped as it from
the clonds. When the Iwp arrived
oppositete the “Old South Chgrch?''
Dickens screamed. To this day,
Jack, I could never tell why. Was
it,ithink'syio«ff f Wewuse of hs fancied
resemblance to St. Paulas or the Ab
bey,? J-declare to you the mystery
.of that shout is still, a mystery to
qjg.l If bell-handles had beep no
ses during that rollicking ramble,
quantity ol Boston features
! Wfeafd have behn disturbed that
night! Dickens seemed quite un*-
bfefo keep* his fingers off the invi
lUagkndbelhat protruded from the
dam as ho wens, past, and he pulled
thepp with such vigor that one actual
ly came o£ Li bis hand. Up one
Btrpet,, dowu another, into alleys,
through back yards, we saw the
nierry twain proceed. It was evi
dent to u& they had not tbe remotest
suspicion how they were ever to
find their vray back to the Tretaoat
House, ’ Nbt a watchman was dis
feehftahlß, and we felt it would be
reserved tor us to guide thqpi bade
lo these lodgings. About one#’dodk
as and asked- tWr

question to our party, and Dickens

with them instead of only a few
blocks. When we got near the ho
tel, Dickens turned to one of our
party, and asked, “What is the pun
ishment in this city when a personjis
detected in the act of pulling off a
door-bell handle With admira
ble promptness, the lad looked him
knowingly in the eye, and answered.

J. S. I jelds, in Atlantic Monthly.
The Travellers' Record, of Hart
ford, or!vises newspaper publishers
to increase their circulation by tak
ing a cold baLh and rubbing briskly
with a coarse towel. Some of them
need it.
A Chicago editor thinks it straqge
that the Indians have no phrase to
express the word ‘honesty.’ Where
upon the Detroit Free Press remarks
that there is nothing strange about
it. Does he suppose lliat the Indian
agents would be fooling around the
past ten years and not, pocket the
word ?
A young German at Omaha, te
cently attempted suicide curiously
by washing his face and then twist
