The glean: of their snowy robes 1 see, But their voices are drowned In the rushing tide. There's one with ringlets «>i sunny gold, And eyes, the reflection of heaven’s own blue; lie crossed in twilight, grey and cold, And the pale mist hid hint from mortal view. We saw not the angels who met him there; The gate of the city we could not see; Over the l iver, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome me ! Over the river the boannun pah* Carried another—the Household pet; Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale— Darling Minnie! I .seeher yet. s*► crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands, And fearlessly entered tin phantom bark; Wo watched it glide from the sil.ver sands, And all our sunshine grew strangely dark. We know she is safe on the further side, Where all the ransomed and angels be; Over the riv<u\ the mystic river. My childhood's idol is waiting for me. For none from these quiet shores, Who crossed with (lie boatman cold ami pale; We hear the flip » I the golden oars, Andi iteli a gleam of the snowy sail And lo! they have passed from our yearning hearts; They cr«»s *ed the stream and are gone tor aye. We may not sunder the veikapart. That, hides from our vision the gates of day; We only know tlmt their harks no more May sail wi ll us o'er life’s s'ormv sea; lei s miewhere, 1 knew, on the unseen shore, They watch, and beckon, and wail for me. And I sit and think, when the sunset’s gold, Is flushing river and hill and shore, I shall one day stand by the water cold, And list to the sound of the boatman’s oar; I shall watch fin* a gleam of the (lapping sail; I heal* the boat ns ii gains the strand; I shall pass f'toiu sight with the boatman pale To the better shore of the spirit land; 1 shall know the loved who have gone before, And joyfully sweet wi 1 the meeting be, When over the river, the peue« fill l iver, The Angel ol Death shall can y me. MUotdLmcottf. v JL> CHAMPAGNE; Or, How the Captain Paid His Bill. “Cajtt.. Pitzimuions, allow, me to [ire sent you my Mil, which you will peiv.oive has been nraniripr for some time,; and I now hand it, lo you wit h tin- lull expecta tion thill you will square it before eve ning.” This language was addressed to a gen tleman by the proprietor of a second rate hotel, while the former, who had just lit a cigar, was in the art of draw ing on a pair of well worn kid gloves previous to taking his usual morning walk. The oa.pl.uin was one of a class well known in all eilies. Anomalous a,s it may seem, (‘very body Knew him. His cii'eum.st.ances in life, his busim-ss, and his antoccdents, wore alike shrouded in most, impenetrable mistcry. lleyond an occasional “quarter, wb eh he usually fished from the depth of his trowsers jtocki Is, he was never known to have any motley, lie had a side pocket, in his coat, which was pretty well filled with greasy papers, lo which was attached seals as big ns revolutionary cockades; hut no body knew tln-ir import,, although there used to he vague surmises among the hoarders as he frequently pored over them. The Captain was always wont to look neat and trim. 11 is castor and his malt; verging upon “the sere and yellow leaf,” were always brushed to the last, extreme, and his boots were polished in the brightest style of the sable profess or’s art. (tipi, h’itzimmons took the proffered hill. “Ha! ha! ’pon my honor,” said lie, glancing over Ihe items, “this is nqf a very round bill, and I presume lean spare it an early day, Mr. Bibulous, and I declare, Mr. Bibulous, that it is, to my thinking, a very moderate hill. Let me see: three months, hoard, at, twenty dol lars, sixty dollars refreshments at the bar, forty dollars. Moderate, sir; very moderate.” “Cajtt. Fitziinnions,” said Bibulous, who had not yet imltihed a quant.uii sufli cit of cocktails to make him amiable, “Cajtt. fc'itzimtrions, fine words butter no parsnips, and honeyed words don’t pay rent, gas hills, ortho inker mer chant. You are into me about a fool now, and you must take a very early op portunity to get out of me, or the house.” “Sir!” said the indignant and highly offended Cajitain, drawing from his side pocket. his bundle of greasy papers, “sir, do you know, sir, that t, to whom you are talking thus, am the owner of a thou sand acres of land in the Miami Valley'; Am Ia beggar, to be thus insulted for a paltry hundred dollars;” Th*is outburst, which the .Captain in tend as a certain crusher, had no effect whatever upon Bibulous. Said that in dividual: “If you own that amount of land, why in thunder don’t, you mortgage a slice and ante up, like hiv other hoarders'*” The astonished Fitzimmons drew on liis gloves, raised his cane, and with dire determination depicted upon bis brandy colored countenance, ho stalked forth. About the pounding of the second gong, the Captain was on hand,apparont iv irt a very > good humor. But IStbulous would not unlimber, although lm had ta ken cocktails enough to produce fever i heat. Fa<-t is, he looked grim at the Captain, even while the Captain smiled jiatronis.ngly, and walked into the din ing-room complacently. Was it possible that he had sold or mortgaged a portion of his land, or even effected a temporary loan'; Not a 1/it of it; but he did not want to leave tin- hotel. Ife had tun the gauntlet of the first-class Imtels on the strength of the Miami Val 1. y Uud claimand ho was deter nun. J to make the second-class places last. After discussing a hearty dinner, he stalked into the bat: room, lit a regalia, and for a while sauntered leisurely about the room. At length, when a fitting opportunity occurred, the Cajitain invited Bibulous into a private room. “Mr. Bibulous,’ said he, giving his moustache a twist,, “you keoji a good hotel.” Uibulous allowed he did. “To keep a good hotel, Mr. Bibulous, requires money.- It is just as necessary as grease is to the wheels of a buggy.”. Bibulous allowed it was. “I owe you a hundred dollars, and I am anxious to pay you.” Bibulous had uo doqbt of the anxiety. “I will pay you.” “Glad to her it.” “But mark trio! You must 'aid me in a little scheme I have concocted.” “Very good. Anything to get. my own. i’ropel.” “You’ve got a good stock of liquors in your cellar?” “You ought to know -you have sam pled it.” “Got any good Newark eider?” “Yes. Five barrels.” “Any empty champagne bottles?” “Well, yes- probably a thousand of them.” “All right my dear friend. I will per form a niiricle I. will not turn water in to wilie exact ly, hut I’ll make apple juice into champagne enough to pay mv I/ill!” “Milch obliged to you. If I wanted such rascality practiced in tny house, I could do it. without calling in your aid at a heavy salary!” “There, you go— jumping at unwarran table conclusions. Strike! hut hear me. I will bottle this wine 1 mean this cider —into champagne bottles; and, sir, I will entertain parlies in my room who will drink lhis champagne at S3 a bottle the prime cost of which will he ten cents leaving, you will perceive, a marginal profit of two-ninety-one hundredths- - say §2.90.” Bibulous began to comprehend the Captain's meaning, and gradually fell in fo the snare, and finally .agreed to he a conspirator against any of the wiiic-bi bers whom the .Cajitain might “ropo in;” and that the Captain would carry out his intentions to the letter was morally certain, since he was popular among the boarders, and his taste in everything was considered an fail. I should mention here that the boarders at the hotel were principally small wholesale dealers, and the time f write of was i heir busy season, when money flowed ill like the ebbing of the tide. And now progressed finely the affairs which were to develojte themselves event ually for the benefit of Captain Fity.im lrions. Had any of the gttesls or hoard ers of the hotel accidently found their way into the hack cellar of Bibulous’ es tablishment for a day or two, they might have seen the Captain seated autid a j/ilo of bottles, demijohns corks, tin foil, effer vescing drugs, funnels and measures, performing mii'icles —that is s o -say, hot fling champaign drawn from Newark cider barrels. 11l a few days the Cajitain rc-aj.peared at the hotel, causing the impression to go abroad that, lie had been away trans acting business. On the evening of the day of his arrival, having had his room duly arranged for the recejitimi of itis company, he invited therein about twen fy of tlm merchants. Once assembled, and doubtless all more or less anxious to know the impoi'f of this small party, flic Cajitain opened out upon them as fol lows : “Gentlemen, yon have for some time past been patronizing the . chainpagne wine of this house, but i never have al lljotigli lam fond of the article. The reason why T never have bought nolle is the fact that Bibulous is no judge of the article, and he is just as likely to have Jersey eider foisted upon him as cham pagne wine. A day or two ago, while in New York, I fell in with an importer, and, in order that Bibulous might keep up the reputation of his house, I ordered for him twelve baskets of the real genu ine Anchor brand ehnntjiiignc. Gentle men T shall order a dozen to establish my rejmtation as a judge.” The Captain rang the hell, and gave the order, which was obeyed with the most astonishing alacrity. Inti trice the bottles and glasses were upon thg table. The wire on one of the bottles was cut, and with a tremeudious “jtop” the cork struck the ceiling, while the sparkling, foaming cider, made its way through the long neck of the bottle. Another was ojtened, and another, and the glasses fill ed. Bach man held his glass to admire tho “head” which rose to the surface. “Capital !” said one, smacking his lips. “The very Anchor itself!” said anoth er. “Glorious!” said the third. Cigars, conversation and cards, for amusement, followed; and before the j/ar ty parted that night the entire dozen bottles were decapitated. So far, so good -the trap was set, and I,he C i ptain now trusted to “the chances” i for the thing to work.” | Next day Filkins extended lo the (Jap | tain an invitation to he present at a si - ! bet. party in room No. 9. Filkins had ; made a margin that day on tickings and ! /loin* Sties, and he was “in for a spree.” j Well, sir, the ball opened by Filkins 1 calling for a dozen of the Anchor brand, which was disj/osed of the same as the ; night previous, and it did not fail to elic it the warmest encomiums from all. 7 he night following, old Korin, bav*ng ; made a margin on naval stores, rut the party through on a dozen. Without, pursuing (lie disappearance of each individual dozen, 1 limy say that if all went off in a similar manner. The Captain's reputation as a connoissmr was established by the time the wine was all gone, and disappointed were those who called it at the table when informed of this fact. A deputation of the hoarders waited upon the Captain, and the Captain in turn waited upon Bibulous, and made a dividend at the time. The margin was large, and both were delighted. Bibu lous slapped Fitzsimmons on the book, and declared that he was a trump, and that he must forthwith order another in voice of the eelebrated Anchor brand. Again the Captain betook himself to the cellar, and in due time emerged, and the baskets were unloaded olio evening from a dray. Again happiness reigned, and no other wine was drank in the hotel I but the Anchor brand. It soon attained ! a popularity which drew the attention of professed judges to the place to taste. Still it maintained its sway. Sometimes Bibulous trembled for fear that some boiuifidi' judge should come along and expose the cheat; but the Captain’s equa nimity could not lie dist urbed, nor did he fail to di,scant upon the superior merits of the wine. Among the boarders there was an old French importer, who was horn ami rais ed in one of the wine-growing provinces of In brlle France. lie never would praise the wine, but. Frenchman like, when others praised it, or when he drank of it, lie merely shrugged his shoulders. Tlie fact is, the Frenchman smelt a very large rat from the beginning; and one day, while the captain was in the dark recesses of the cellar, corking up the fourt h invoice, the Frenchman pushed his investigations to an actual point of discovery. Ife invaded the cellar, and there saw what he had always suspected. He retired noiselessly; and that after noon he assembled about a dozen of those who had been longest in their praise of the “Anchor brand,” and lighting a can dle, he told the boarders to follow him, and witness a singular discovery. Silent - ly and stealthily they wended their way among a labyrinth of barrels, demijohns and kegs, until they came to the wine vault. There sat, the captain, with dis heveled hair, his shirt sleeves rolled up, pounding a cork into a champagne bot tle with a wooden mallet. He saw the glare of the candle and looked up, and ho was on his feet as quick as if aided by a shock from a galvanic battery. “Gentlemen,” said the captain, “you will perceive—ahem ! —that is--—” “Oui, oui,” said the French importer; “zat is vat is, by gar?” For the first time in bis life the Cap tain was completely nonplussed. “Gentlemen, the fact is---ahem !—that, is lossy the fact is, that [think—ahem! that the wine trade in this establishment will experience a sudden decline I” Os course the tiling took wind at once, and some swore at the “sell,” but by far the larger portion of the guests deter mined to laugh it off. Bibulous heard of the exposure, and started down town, where lie imbibed an awful quantity of gin cock tails. In the evening lie re turned comfortably fuddled, and boldly charged the entire swindle on the Cap tain. As for the Captain, he could bear it, for he took an early opportunity to dis appear. Whether he filially settled upon his lands in the Miami Valley, or went permanently into the wine trade, this de ponent huth not the means of knowing within bis reach. Shall llt <r<' be a II fir With Afrjrtco? The New York editors have, for the past week been greatly excited over the prospect of a war. with Mexico. The la-, test contribution on the subject is made by the Herald in its evening edition of last Saturday, in wliieii what may be called the anti-Administration view of the subject is disclosed. It says : During the month of November, 1872; a well-known Washington lobbyist ar rived in this city on his way to Texas, and one evening, in t he course of conver sation wjtli the writer and another gen tleman, hi! was bantered to tell what business was taking liim there. After some hesitation, he stated confidentially that he was on his way to the Bio Grande to invest a large amount in land and stock, and also to purchase property at Brownsville suitable for a government depot in the event of a war with Mexico, which he said was more than probable. He added that the investments were in the interest of an ext. nsivc ring, em bracing'persons high in the service and confidence of the government, and that they expected to realize immense profits on the investment by selling to the gov ernment on tlio outbreak oi the war. He further stated that Grant, had pledg ed himself to this ring to bring about a war in return for their support in the canvass; that the commission on the Kto Grande, was so constriu led as to return, at the proper time, a statement of griev ances which would amply justify a dec laration of hostilities, ami that the object would he to so conduct the war as to af ford large opportunities to the ring for fat contracts and pickings.
