“Marthy! there’s a squall cornin’; an’
look a t that yacht, will you. If there’s
a’ one aboarr of her as has a mite o’
common sense he’ll run her in here
afore the storm comes.”
“Well, there ain’t, then,” said Mar
ita, sharply, “fqr they’re turnin’ her
head straight oat to sea, look if they
ain’t.”
* And Abram, shading his eyes with
hie hand, shook his head slowly. “So
they be, Mar thy, so they be. Just
fetch me my coat. I’ll go down to
to the shore. There’ll be a boat wan- *
tin’ boob, I’m afeard. ”
A slant of sunshine from under the
edge of the ragged cloud silvered the
sails o! the little yacht and lit up the
anxious face of the watcher. “There
it is now,” and he looked up quickly,
ns a shivering blast rustled the leaves
over his head. . “It does seem as if
the Lord made some folks just to act
foolish;” and hurrying down the cliff
he got out his boat, threw iu an extra
coil of rope, and then stood by her

the white caps on the breakers, they
changed her course -and she came

and
mining.
“Land sake! Better ha’ staid whar
she was tf they don’t know the coast
pretty welL Why on airth don’t they
reef that saill” And Abram,in a kind
of desperation, watched the feeble ef
forts to get the yacht ready for the
fquall which, even to the most un-
practiced eye, was close upon them.
“What now, Abram! Watchin’
that little craft out yonder? Likely to
get a duckin’ ef they run Ler in here
how, ain’t they? Could ha’ done it
ten minutes ago.” And the stalwart
fisherman puffed away at his pipe,
lounging on the side of the boat with
his eyes fixed on the straining ves
sel.
“There she goes!” as the blast veer
ed suddenlv and drove her staight
against the low rocks. “No she’s off—
there its changed again—push off
Abram,.I’ll take an oar.” And with
their heads well bent to the driving
rain, the two fisherman palled steadily
towards the dangerous rocks where
they could stillyliscern the dim out
line of mast and spars.
But the fog came down thicker and
thicker, and the wind changed from
point to point, now in their faces,
now behind them, till—knowing the
coast as they did—they were at a loss
as to their whereabouts.
“Lay to, Ben, till the fog lifts.—
Wo!re fighting in the dark now.”—
And' with anxious eyes peering
through the gloom, and ears strained
to catch the faintest sound above 111;
whistling of the wind, and the dash
of the waves, they rested on their
oars.
Suddenly Abram tightened bis
grasp. “Steady now, Ben, pull to
wind’ard.”
. They rowed in silence for some min
utes; the oars sounding muffled in the
thick darkness that encompassed
them.
“I thought we was right on her that
time. I a lieerd a thud an' a shiver
like, an’ I thought she’d struck.”
Ben Lawson was listening intently.
“Lay off, Abram, there’s the -waves
on Black Rock.”
“Well, the Lord help’em.”
Ben put his hand to his ear; a hail
came from somewhere on their right.
“Ay, ay, mates.”
“Abram, where’s the yacht?"
“The Lord knows.”
The fog thinned a little and anoth
er boat came Up alongside.
“She’s round the point by now.—
Tfeere’s a big £we!l ou where she
struck.”
-“But them as was aboard of her?"
.said Abram, anxiously,
^■►There’s tin undertow to-day,
jmates,” spoke up an old fisherman in
jone of theboats,“as nd draw the yacht
herself, ef she only struck the bot
tom.”
A murmur came from the boats, and
the men’s faces blanched. Abram
broke the awed silence.
“Mates, s’pose you round the point,
an’ Ben an’ me we’ll keep this side of
Black Rock. The wind is changed a
point or two, an’ the fog’ll lift soon;
and mebbe we’ll find some on ’em.”
* f Ay, ay, Abram. Pull away, lads,
sure.” Abram shook his head gravely
but presently his cheeks flushed—'Pull
in, Ben, poll in close, there’s some
thin’on the rocks,” and leaping ont
on one not yet covered with water, he
stooped over a bundle. “Ben its a
child!” he cried excitedly, and careful
ly loosening, the shawl, he lifted the
little.onerin his arms. ft.She’afamted,’
poor dear, leastways she’s cold and
limp like—bat her heart beats yet,
we’ll save her anyhow. Now pull,
Ben,” he added as he took his place in
the stern,” “pall just as hard as ever
you did, and Marthy’ll Lev her all
right in no time.”
But it did take time to bring the
child back to consciousness, for her
soul had wandered so near the con
fines of another world that it seemed
sorely loth to return to this: but Mar
tha’s nursing was at Last rewarded by
the little one opening her eyes; and
looking from one to another, and then
around the room, she said quietly—
‘I like this place.”
“Yon do, dear?” said Abram, his
face shining with; his great delight,
“Well, I’m mighty glad o' that now.”
‘■Who are you?” asked the child,
gravely, fixitig her eyes on his with
out the slightest look of fear.
“Oh! I’m Uncle Abram,” nodding
and smiling re-assnringly.
“Ob!—and,” tnrniug to Martha,
“you’re Aunt Abram—very well,”
and closing her eyes, she dropped
asleep.
“Pretty dear,” and Abram lifted
one little band tenderly, “bow old is
she, Marthy, do yon think?”
“’Bout five, Xguess; leastways she
has a locket round her neck, with
somethin’ ’bout- Hfih birthday on it.
But ain’t there none of them found
yet?”
Abram shook his head. “The
yacht’s ashore ’round the point, but
thereainta human critter, dead or
alive, been found yetf'mebbe the tide
will wash ’em ashore when its flood
again
But it never did, and though, .they
watched closely, the sea gave no clue
to the resting place of those its
strong arms" had "gathered and now
held so closely. Prom the child’s
s*ory it appeared that she had been
asleep when the vessel struck, and so
knew nothing of what happened. For
some time she tallied of “her papa,”
who would “come for her,” but when
day after day she was: disappointed
she confided to Abram that “lier papa,
had gone away again on a big ship to
take care of his soldiers,—he had told
her he would some day,’* and they
did not a'.t-mpt to undeceive her.
“I'll go an’ inqnire arter her friends,
Marthy,” Abram said one day, “it
ain’t just right to keep her, tho’ she
do seem to belong to us-now.”
But his search was useless. The
yacht had been hired by a party of
'RnglLh tourists, two ladies, three gen
tlemen and the little girl, and “the

thought o’ that. Wbat a powerful
band you alius was to think, Marthy.”
She smiled grimly, not displeased
themselves,”—this was all they could
learn. So the child .remained in
Abram’s cottage, delighting him with
her pretty ways, and qaaint sweet
speeches, and winning her way slowly
but surely, into-the sterner heart of
“Aunt Abram,” as sbe still called her.
She was a. strange contradiction, this
little waif, sometimes appearing so
much older, sometimes so much
younger, thaa her age; but when Mar
tha would express alarm at her igno
rance, Abram would lay his broad
hand gently on the golden curls—
“Never mind, Marthy, she’s all right;
her little soul’s only feelin’ its way
yet.”' v
“ Won’t you come and talk to me^ a
while, please, Aunt Abram, said the
child plaintively one day.
. Poor Martha looked sorely puz
zled.
“Talk! child, what about?”
•‘Ob, I don’t know, I’m so very
lonely, Aunt Abram.”
She bad been sitting quietly on the
door-step, in the sun, watching the
gulls as they flew over the water or
followed the tide with their quick,
graceful motions and watchful eyes;
the fishing boats were a constant
source of delight to her, hut she had
grown weary even of this; Abram was
away, and a tired, grieved look, pain
ful to see on so young a face, bad
chased away the smiles. “'What
the child. “Is it growing all white
and cold like my pretty mamma, and
being put in a stone bouse all over
lions and swords like the spoons and
things, to wait for the angels?”
And Martha completely at a loss
how to answer, said “yes,” to it all,
and then her conscience pricking her,
she added—“Only Hetty was not put
in a house ail over lions, she was put
out there in the ground, an’ we cov
ered her u > with grass, an’ flowers
grew on her.” ‘.‘Covered up with
grass, and flowers growing on her,”
repeated the child musingly. “I*d
like that better than a house, but if I
musn’t call you Aunt Abram, who are
you?”
I’m Martha. ”
•‘Martha! Oh! then I know all
about you.”
“You do?” and the worthy spinster
looked at the child with a carious
mixture of awe and amusement.—
“Well, land! what next!”
“Oh, yes,” and she nodded her
head in a satisfied way, “.somebody
told me about you once, and your sis
ter Mary, and your brother, what was
his name?—Oh, I know, Lazarns,
wer’nt yon glad to get liim back? I
always thought it was good of you to
make nice things for dinner, and I
think Mary might have helped you a
little. I’m so glad I’ve found you;
but why isn’t he”—pointing to Abram,
who was slowly coming up the beach
—“why isn’t he Uncie Lazarus?"
“Land sakes! child, ask him; there’s
my milk boilin’ over,” and Martha hur
ried off to the kitchen, handing over
the child and her perplexities to
Abram, who laking her out with him,
found a sheltered place on the sand,
sitting down beside her, he patiently
explained tne difference between the
Martha of Bethany and the brusque
housekeeper up at the cottage, who
was at that moment wondering “what
on earth they were to do with the
child, for she’s wrong in the head
certain.” And there in the shelter of
an old boat, when the days grew long,
they sat togethre, Abram and the
child. “Tell 1 me a story, Uncle
Abram,” was the constant appeal,
and lie to whom few books were open
save" God and nature’s, was fain to tell
her of the old-time-days when angels
waked the earth and the God-Man
bilked with men. Excepting the sto
ry some one bad told her about Mary
and Martha, and which had taken fast
hold on her memory as everything she
fancied did, she was as ignorant of
Bible characters and Bible history as
the veriest little heathen, and with
parted lips and eager eyes she listened
as Abram in bis simple words would
tell her of Him who walked upon the
'sea,- and dwelt with lowiy fisher folk;
and from those baby lips came the
cry so often wrong from sorrow-strick
en hearts. “Why is all done, , why
isn’t it now, Uncle Abram?” And he
in Ms larger patience would respond,
“wait awhile, pretty one, wait awhile,
you an’ me will see Him yet.”
As the months passed on, the child
grew quite contented with the quiet
life she led. Her brain was full of
pretty fancies which she bronght out
before these two; without the slight
est reserve, sometimes troubling
“Aunt Martha” a little with doubts of
her perfect sanity, but giving unfeign
ed delight to Abram, who of ten found
his own tender thoughts put into
words by the little prattler at his side.
No one questioned his right to keep
her, and when strangers attracted by
her great beaut} would ask her to
whom she belonged, she always sim
ply answered—“Unde Abram fonnd
me in the sea; I’m his.”
She had told them “her papa” cal

pil one day; “bat just as that du^
rock was made a stepping stone for
those who bring their boats ashore, I
hope my life may help some other
life to reach the shore of heaven. ”
Nine years pass quickly. It is a
warm, bright, summer afternoon. In
a little cove Abram’s boat was lying
idly on the water; be is fishing, and
Alice, in the stem, is watching him.
She has taken off her hat, and the
level sunbeams quiver through her
golden curls, and dance over the
white arms and restless little hands.
“Come, Uncle Abram, Aren’t yon
mostly ready? Aunt Martlia will bp
cross.”
The artist upon the rocks who, nn-
perceived had been sketching the
group, goes hastily on with his
work.
“Pretty soon, Blossom, pretty soon
now ”
She leans back again, and sits
quietly watching the white gulls fly
ing ont to sea. The golden bright
ness fades a little, and the y nng face
takes a tenderer look f Abram is flim-
ly conscious of something, that mjikes
different all the world to him, as
something that is pain and pleasure
both. He leans over and^touches her
hand softly—“SKall we go now, pret
ty Blossom?” and with a start the girl
comes ont of her dreaming and smiles
up at him^a child again.

Such is the freedom with which native
Americans can boast in this third
quarter of the nineteeth century, this
age of progress and enlightenment,
when thrones are tottering throughout
the world, and the oppressed people
of Europe are looking to onr land for
their mode of future govenments.
A writer in the New Orleans Times
of November 25,gives in round figures
the,burdens under which Louisiana
groans. The State debt is about thir
ty millions, while that of the city of
New. Or leans is twenty-five millions.—
Add to these the small estimate of five
millions for the outside parishes, and
we have a total of §60,000,000. The
private indebtedness of planters, in
the yay of. mortgages and advances
from foreign capitalists on-crops, can
not be-less than §40,000,000, making
a totaTuf §100,000,000, on- which inter
est must bepaid continually. The re
port of the State Auditor for 1870
placed the entire taxable property of
the Stale at §251,246,017, but so great
bas been is depression since, owing to
Radical misrule and intensified taxa
tion, that it would not sell tp-day for
more than §100,000,00—thus showing,
tliat-under the Kellogg administration,
all the property of the State would not
bring, under the hammer, the amonnt
of the debts for which it stands mort
gaged. The total of the taxes for
the current year is §12,728,000,
while the accumulation of back taxes
amonnt to nearly as mnch more—giv
ing an aggregate of taxes, to be now
collected by Kellogg’s bayonets, nnder
the above infamous law, as about one-
fourtb of the saleable value of the pro
perty. These taxes are enhanced by
the gross injustice of taxing the same
property over again in the. hands of
the holder and of the mortgagor. A
inherited from his father a plantation
wortb..§10,000, bat years of adversity
have given B a mortgage on it to the
same amount—not its origininal value,
but all it is worth under present mis
rule. So A must pay taxes on §10,-
000 and B must do likewise. This
grievance exists throughout the State
to a degree not dreamed of in the
more fortunate commonwealths. So
much for the rural districts. Of New
Orleans, the writer in the Times says:
“As to the urban population of the
State, particularly the inhabitants of
New Orleans, it may be safely asserted
—which assertion would be confirmed
by their almost unanimous testimony,
if necessary—that hardly any of them,
whatever may be his pursuits, his ca
pacity, his energy, and the ample
amount of property he owns, has been
able to cover the current expenses of
the year, notwithstanding the strictest
vigilance and economy. For the first
