From childhood'* hour I have not been
As other* were—l have not seen
Ah other* saw—l could not bring
My paaiion* from a common sprint*.
From the name source I have uot taken
My sorrow—l could not awaken
My heart to Joy at the same tone—
Aud all 1 loved—-T loved alouo.
Theu—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a moat aiormy life -whs drawn
From every deptn of food aud ill
The mystery which hind* me still.
From the torrent, or the fouutaiu—
From the red cliff of the mouutaiu—
From the sun that rouud me roll'd
In it* autumn tint of gold.
From the lightning in the sky
A* it passed me flying by—
From the thunder and the storm—
And the cloud took the form
(When the rest of heaveu was blue)
Of a demon ftu my view.

—Whore ten men will cheerfully lay
down their lives for a woman, only
one will carry her a scuttle of coal.
A young man, son of a wealthy
parent In Monroe, attempted to com
mit Suicide on Friday. No cause is as
signed tor the act. i’erliaps his pants
bagged at the knee.
Many a young girl who was play
ing on a piano one year ago, while her
mother put up the preserves, is now
over a hot stove doing the same thing
for herself. But it was over so.
—Don’t make your boy dress up in
the summer. Loaded with clothing
hois generally the last of a swim
ming party to get Into the water.
You should encourage his ambition.
—A meek looking stranger was sit
ting on the station platform reading
a newspaper, last evening, when he
suddenly let it fall from his hands,
and burst iuto tears.
“What is your grief, my dear sir?”
hastily asked an astonished aud sym
pathetic bystander.
The afflicted man looked up with
eyes streaming. “Stranger,” lie
gasped, “do you know that there
hain’t a single cx-presidont alive?”
and again he bowed his head and
wept.
—A furrier lamenting, in an adver
tisement, the tricks played on the
public by unprincipled men in his
own trade:
“Earnestly requests ladies to bring
to their skins, which ho promises
shall be converted into muffs and
boas. ’
—Another advertisement ran thus :
"Two sister want washing.”
—Bare must have been a strange
night j
—He rode to town, and drove twelve
cows on horse back.
—A gentleman advertised for a
horse.
“Fora lady of dark color, a good
trotter, high stepper, and having a
long tail.”
. - •
A Woman After All.
“Take off that hidionshonnet, Dor
othy. I want to see your sweet little
face without it.''
“Thou shouldst uot speak so,
Charles. It is very wrong. ’
“Why, little Dorothy? Tell me
why?”
"Thou kno west favor is deceitful
and beauty is vain. We ought to
bear our testimony against vanity of
personal looks.”
“Ought we? Then toll me why it
pleased Providence to make you so j
beautiful, my small cousin?”
“Hush, Charles, I will not permit
thee to speak to me In this manner.” ;
And Dorothy Hicks, the little Qua .
put on her gravest air, aud j
struggled valiantly to turn the cor
neys of her mouth down when they
wanted to turn up.
"Don’t look so serious, little girl. :
You positively alarm me.” And j
Charles Maynard burst into a merry
laugh that echoed through the pop- I
lur-trees in the old garden. Now tell i
me, Dorothy—l insist upon know
ing, and, as a member of your family,
1 consider that I have the right to be
informed arc you going to marry j
Broadbrim?”
"Friend Eplirnim is an estimable
man, Charles. 'Thou must not speak
of him thus.”
“Look, Dorothy. There he is. I will
quote no proverbs, but the rim of his
hat turned the corner just ns 1 spoke.
Now don't look as if you intended to
go back in the house, for you are not
going. I’ll tell you a secret. When
1 was down by the river this morn
ing I found a "boat with a tempting
pair of oars in it, aud I made up my
mind that, Dorothy Hicks and her
wicked, worldly cousin from tlie in
iquitous city of New York were going
for a row in that vory bout this even •
ing."
“It is Neighbor Hancock s boat.
“He will let us have it?”
“Y-e-s. But, Charles, I fear it is my
duty—’’ ,
“No it isn’t. You know you don t
want to spend this lovely evening in j
the house entertaining Broadbrim,
and do you want to go and watch the
sunset on the river with me.”
Dorothy looks doubtfully toward
the house und wishfully toward the
river.
“'Fefnme qtii hesite est perdue,
Dorothy, which means if we don’t
Hurry, Qrayooat will come out and
catch us.” Charles takes Dorothy's
hands in his, aud in a moment they
are on their way to the slide.
“But, Charles, see that cloud in the
south. If there were to be a storm?”
“But there will not. Come jump
in.”
The ours are lifted iuto the oar
locks, Dorothy takes the manage
ment into her little hands, and soon
t hey are gliding over the smoot h sur
face of the water, leaving a track of
silvery bubbles behind them. It is a
lovely evening. The misty shadows
of twilight are gathering in the east
and in thp west; the clouds, blood
red und purple, are casting a rose
light allovcrtho broad river; a fresh
breeze is blowing round their faces;
and waves plash against the sides of
their little boat like low monotonous
music. Charles is talking about his
city home, telling Dorothy about the
auntaini cousins she had not seen in
along time, and amusing her with
stories of Ids college-days and his
efforts to make his way in his profes
sion, which at first were so unsuccess
ful. Neltherof them notices that the
bloose grows every moment stronger
and fresher, and that the dark cloud
in tile south has spread over the hor
izon and is covering it with darkness.
Presently a low muttering growl of
thunder startles them from the
dream into which they have fallen.
■‘Turn back, Charles, turn back!”
screams Dorothy. “The storm is on
us -
But there is no turning back. I hoy
have been rowing with the tide. The
river is very wide, and the increasing
force of the waves and the wind to
gether is so strong that when they
attempted to turn about the water
rushes into the tiny boat. Both faces
grow pale in the murky light as they
see their danger.
“It is impossible r you can not do
it.”
“Tell me Dorothy, what is that dark
object just ahead!”
“It is a ledge of rocks, but when
the tide comes in from the sea it will
bo covered;” and with a low moan
Dorothy sinks down from her seat
and covers her face with her hands.
“We will try and land there. The
tide will not turn for an hour.”
The effort is successful. The ledge
is reached, and Charles carries Dor
othy to the highest rook, and lays
her gently down.
"Mv love, my little love," he cries,
kissing her helpless hands, "have 1
killed you?”
"Stop!” sho exclaims. “Listen'
There is a boat. It is coming to us."
Dorothy is upon her knees, and a wild I
cry of thanksgiving comes from her j
Ups.
Kpliruim Ford has followed them
The heavy boat with Its single Qecu
piintis strong enough to resist the
waves, nud ns he nears they go down
to meet him.
“Back?’’ lie cries ; “1 will not take
but one of you. It Is not safe.”
The grim Quaker, with his stern, j
emotionless face, wrenches away the !
slender hands that ding to Charles,
and clasping Dorothy tightly in his
arms, lays her at his own feet in the
bottom of his boat. No word is spo
ken until they reach the opposite
shore. Then lie takes her up again
and carries tier to the nearest llsher
hut upon the beach.
As they stand within the shelter
of the liltlo cabin, Dorothy looks at
him with wild eyes, and a cry of
torture Issues from her white lips.
“Go back! go buck! You will go
back for him?”
“Go back for your elegant city
lover, whose ignorant caroloesness
hail cost you your own life but for
mo?”
Dorothy falls on her knees and
grasps his cold hand in an agony of
entreaty.
j-T’Go back! go back!"
"Promise me lirst that you will
not marry him. Swear it us the
world’s people do.” Then ho takes
her hand and holds it to heaven, and |
wnits for the oath.
Dorothy's lips move, but no sound
comes, She had fainted.
The Usher-wife takes the uticonoious
child and lays her on her own bed,
and Ephraim Ford goes upon his er
rand of mercy with murder in his
heart.
The storm has lulled for u moment.
It comes on so gradually stopping
every now and then as if to make tHe
earth believe that it were doubtful of
its power. The tempest knows its
strength, and can afford to wait.
Ephraim looks at the sky. It. is still
red in the west, the waves are rising
steadily, but his strongly built boat,
directed by his powerful strength can
yet make its way through them.
Thete Is yet plenty of time: the tide
will not turn for half an hour.
Ephraim tiglits his battle with temp
tation, and wins the victory, for twen
ty minutes later the sturdy boat
ploughed its way back to the shore,
and two silent men -struggle against
the wind up the bench to the flslier
mnn’shut.
Dorothy is wailing for them. Her
i outstretched arms would wind them
; selves about both, but the stern, fixed
j look in Ephriam's eyes restrains
| iter, and Charles turns from her anil
tixes his glance upon the ground.
• It is a terrible moment for Dor
othy. Site knows that they both love
I her, and .-he shivers at the suffering
j sho sees in both faces. Tllen site re
members the oath she aid not speak,
i aud a wild sort of terror takes posses
i sion of her soul. Sho speaks at last,
| und tries to thank Ephraim for the
| service lie has done them.
“Spare me thy gratitude, Dorothy,”
he commands, In the slow solemn
tone peculiar to his people. “I know
I have done thee a service. I would
not hear of it again. I tried to make
thee swear an oath Dorothy; I am
glad It was not spoken. Tell mo how,
though, dost thou lovo this young
man? Wilt thou forswear thy reli
gion, forsake the faith of thy fore
fathers, and become one of tile
world’s people?”
Dorothy’s eyes look toward Charles
with mute appeal.
“He has sated both our lives, dear,
answers the younger man, in reply to
Iter glance, “and lie is worthy of
your love. Tin a Ids eyes seek til©
ground again. lie lias received
his life from l iti - man’s hands, and
now ho will speak no word to rob
him of his dearest treasure.
“Speak, Dorothy,” Ephraim ro
llouts. “it is for you to choose.”
Dorothy’s voice is choked with
tears, and her breast shaken with
sobs as she answers.
"It is very, very wicked of me,
Ephraim, but 1 lovo him so!”
Then she stretches out her helpless
hands, and the sweet lips whisper,
“Charles.'’
Only a single word, but it decides
her life. In a moment she is in her
lover’s arms, and for the second time
that night unconscious.
The nobler man of the two goes
unheeded out into tho storm to
conquer his heart-ache alone. //(//-■
