A mottled golden sky ;
A ilerping summer sea,
"Where ships go sailing by
In graceful fantasy*
A line of misty beach,
With clouds of dashing spray
Ajfeweled water reach
Beyond the dreamy bay.
The gleaming, drifted sand
Beneath the white-flecked waves,
By eltin breezes fauned ,
from out their shining caves.
Those ivied rocks of gray,
With clustered moss between,
Waere drifting sea-shells play
Amid the aisles of green.
A softly-murmuring tile,
Slow ebbing from the land ;
And we two, side by side,
Upon the gleaming sand.
Your eyes of liquid brown,
So full of tender light;
And brown hair nestling down
Upon your shoulders white.
Within the curving fold
Of crimson mantle bright,
Caressing waves of gold
That kiss your bosom white.
So far away it seems,
That picture by the sea ;
For now, alone in dreams,
That picture comes to me.
Medora Clark.
LOST IN A JUNGLE.
In the year 1854, I belonged to the
United States North Pacific Surveying
nod Exploring Expedition. For some
months we had worked diligently in
Caspar Straits, and along the Malay
sian Islands, and at last bad brought
our arduous labors to a close. One de
lightful morning, while anchored near
the island of Banca, most of the crew
went ashore to enjoy the pleasures of
the day on land, myself among the
number. There was a beautilul beach
of sand and shell reaching down into
the playful waters, and stretching along
for miles; and, just bevond this, a belt
of greensward, like the bright lawn of
artificial grounds, with mighty trees
reaching far heavenward, and which
seemed as if standing sentries over the
thick, dark jungle that formed the
background of the romantic scene. The
ait was soft and balmy, and wo antici
pated rare pleasure in strolling over this
unknown region of beauty, and now'
and then perhaps venturing into its
mysterious depths and ch dlenging the
perils which we knew abounded there
in the shape of wild beasts and rep*
tiles. I know not why, but there seems
to be a certain charm in concealed dan
ger, if surrounded with a kind of ro
mantic mystery, which will oftentimes
lure forward the must timid, and the
day and the scene before us were well
calculated to exercise this influence
upon as. We were cautioned by the
prudent not to venture far from the
beach, nor become separated from each
other, but all to be constantly within
call, that in the event of being assailed
by either man or beast, we might all
be quickly united against a common
foe. This was good advice, and had I
been one who followed it, I might have
been saved a good deal of alarm and
suffering.
In company with a shipmate, named
John Halleck, l moved leisurely along
up the smooth shiny beach, stopping
now and then to pick up some beautiful
shell, or cast a stone into the water, or
drink in the beauties of as lovely a
scene as I ever gazed upon. In this
way we two gradually became separated
from the rest of our companions, and,
in the course of a couple of hourß,
found ourselves far from our boat, and
entirely alone. This, however, gave us
no uneasiness, as each was armed with
a carbine, a brace of pistols, and a
sheath knife, and considered ourselves
equal to any probable assailant.
We came to a running stream of lim
pid water, that tumbled down over its
rocky bed from a romantic elevation,
beneath a thick canopy of leaves, shrubs
and vines ; and the temptation to ex
plore its banks for a short distance, be
neath the cool shade, was too great to
be resisted.
“We won’t go far, Butler,” said my
companion to me, “ and theie’s no dan
ger of our getting lost, because the
stream will always guide us back.”
I did uot need any persuading, and
so we plunged into the tangled thicket
at once. At first we pushed our way
fotward with considerable caution, and
I confess I cast my eyes around me in
the heavy gloom with not a little of
timidity ; and mjre than once, when I
heard a stick soap loudly, or the bushes
rustle with the hurried departure of
some animal whose solitude we had en
croached. upon, I grasped my carbine
with a nervous hand, and held my
ground with rather questionable cour
age ; but finding, as we advanced, that
nothing molested us, and discovering
that one at least of our wild beasts was
a very pretty little deer, we regained
confidence, and felt ths bold spirit of
the eager hirtiter take possession of
us, and urge us forward iu quest of
game.
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea, Ned, to
have a little fresh meat,” suggested my
companion.
“I was just thinking of the same
thiag,” I replied ; “and though our
earbioes cannot be depended on for
any distance, we may be luoky enough,
if we keep a sharp watch, to put in an
effective'shot at close quarters.”
We had poshed* our way up the
stream for perhaps half a mile, when
we eaae to a spot that, for wild, gloomy
Calhoun Cimcs.
beauty, was equal to anything that we
had ever seen in any part of the world.
For some time we had heard the steady,
solemn sound of roaring "wafer, and
were prepared to find our progress
cheeked by a cascade ; but the scene
we suddenly came upon far exceeded
our anticipations in picturesque sub
limity. An immense wall of black,
rugged rocks stretched itself upward be
fore us, to a height of from seventy
five to a hundred feet, either side of
which waß buried in a dense jungle so
heavy with foliage that the eye could
not peuetrate it. Over this precipice
came rushing, foaming and roaring, the
little stream that we had been tracing
upward, its whitened waters falling into
a kind of basin, of considerable depth,
and some fifty feet in circumference,
where they whirled and bubbled and
grew calm, and then moved steadily
outward, through an almost level chan
nel, till they reached the next gradual
descent, when they started off with a
gentle ripple, to increase in both sound
and speed on their laughing journey
down the mountain to the briny deep
below, Around the basin of this wa
terfall grew gigantic trees of enormous
height, with immense branches spreads
ing out in every direction and inter
locking, and so thickly covered with
leaves and vines, and interwoven with
a long, green, shiny moss, that not a
single ray of the hot vertical sun could
find its way to the pool below, which,
even at midday carried on its face the
deep shade of a Northern twilight.
While looking at this picturesque
gem of the forest, I was suddenly re
minded of being in a land of peril—
for, with a startled cry, my companion
bounded back several feet, and impul
sively l imitated his example.
“In Heaven’s name, what is it?” I
exclaimed, bringing forward my car
bine with tremulous hands.
“Look,” he answered, pointing to a
lead colored, flat-headed snake, of a
venomous species, which was coiled
around a bush, and swinging in the air,
not more than one or two feet from
where his face had been at the moment
of making the discovery. I felt a chill
of horror at the narrow escape he had
made from being bitten; and approach
ing the reptile with great caution, I
cut it down with my knife, and suc
ceeded in crushing its poisonous head
with the breacli of my carbine. Scarce
ly had I done so when my companion
called to me to keepx{uiet, and imme
diately brushed from my person an
enormous spider, whose bite, for aught
]. know, might have been as deadly as
that of the snake.
“Como” 'Said I, with a shudder of
fear, “let us leave this place at once.”
We resolved, however, to climb the
precipice, if there were any way of
reaching the top, and
into the jungle for this purpose. In
tho course of half an hour we had suc
ceeded in our design ; and when at
length we stood upon the rocks above
the cascade, we were rewarded for our
labor by a splendid view of the sea, and
a large portion of the island.
A deer, moving through the bushes
>elow, on the other side of the eleva
tion, now attracted our attention, and
revived the notion of our having a fine
steak for dinner, and forthwith we set
off on a regular hunt, with the idea
that, should we miss our animal, we
might find another of the same kind.
This led to all our future trouble ;
for, by our care’ess venture, we soon
became completely lost in the jungle ;
and when at last we set out, as we sup
posed, for the beach, it turned out that
we took the opposite course, and pushed
deeper into the mazes of the forest.—
At first, supposing ourselves going
right, we felt no uneasiness ; but, when,
after walking a couple of hours, with-*
out getting a glimpse of the sea, we
found ourselves on the margin of a
large, stagnant pool, and the general
appearance of the rank vegetation such
as belonged to the depths of an unex
plored forest, we stopped and looked
inquiringly at each other, while the
blood gradually retreated from our
flushed faces, and left them pale with
a strange kind of fear.
While we thus stood, looking silent*
ly at each other, and each busy with
thoughts that he was almost afiaid to
express, a sleek little deer stole out of
the bushes quite near us, aud timidly
thrust his nose down toward the water.
I saw him first; and making a sign to
my companion not to stir, I quietly
raised my piece, took a steady aim, and
fired. The animal dropped in his
tracks; but before I could utter an ex
clamation of triumph, the wild, horrid
roar of some furious beast rung through
the jungle, and fairly made me trem
ble with terror.
“My God! what is it?" exclaimed
my companion, pressing to my side.
“A tiger, undoubtedly,” I answered.
“Then we are lost i” ,(
“Not yet awhile, man alive !” I re
joined, with reassuring boldness, though
I do”bt not I was, in reality, as much
frightened as himself. “Keep a sharp
lock-out w'lWe I re load ipy piece ! and
remember, if assailed, we are not to die
like cowards !” We put ourselves in
as good a defensive position as the cir
cumstances would permit, with’ our
backs braced against a large tree, and
watched and waited for half an hour;
when, finding nothing appeared to mo
lest us, we resolved upon having a din?,
ner oft our game, even should it prove
to be our last meal; so we kindled a
fire, cut off some tender steals and
toasted them, aud.*beaUy ate quite
heartily for men placed in Qur perilous
situation. Our dinned served to re
fresh us aud give us nerve ; and feeling
there was bo more time to be lost, we

now struck off vigorously through the
dense jungle, in the hope of getting
"back to the beach before dark.
We webe doomed, however, to a sad
disappointment. We traveled miles on
miles; and when the shades of night
began to gather around us, there we
were, in the depths of an awful wilder
ness, with no sign of ever being able
to find the way out of it. We now
heard another loud roar, apparently nut
tar off, and our hearts sunk with des
pair—for if assailed by a ferocious ti
ger now, what chance would we have
of preserving our lives ?
“I can think of than
climbing a tree, and passing a night
in fc its branches,” Lsaid to my compan
ion. He assented, with tremulous
anxiety, and we soon found one to au
swer our purpose ; but as we hurriedly
ascended it, we both shuddered at the
idea of coming in contact with some of
the thousands of poisonous leptiles with
which the whole horrid region abound
ed. I shall never forget that night,
which was literally one of horror. We
succeeded in getting a pretty safe posi
tion among the thick branches ; but we
dared not close our eyes in sleep, for
fear of falling to the ground ; and all
through the long tedious hours, we
heard, at intervals, the snarling, growl
ing, fighting and roaring of the p r owl
ing wild beasts, sometimes afar off, aod
.sometimes quite near us. In fact, on
two or three occasions, the bushes were
rustled immediately below u*; aod
peering down from our leafy cover 1 ., we
more than once caught a glimpse of the
fiery eyeballs of some night monster, as
he looked up at us and uttered a low,
savage growl.
When the light of another day ena
bled us to see our way, we cautiously
descended to the ground, and again set
forward at a venture, no longer presu
ming to calculate whether we were go
ing right or wrong. It proved a terri
ble day to us, full of new dangers, great
fatigue, and not a little suffering, and
night again overtook us in the depths
of an awful jungle, from which we now
despaired of ever finding our way out.
VVe had eaten nothing since the meal
of the preceding day, with the excep
tion of a single biscuit divided between
as, and we not only felt fainc and weak,
but we were so powerfully inclined to
sleep that we believed not even the dan
gers surrouuding us would keep us
awake through another night. We
sought out another tree, climbed into
its branches, an i there, by tearing up
some of our clothing, and lashing oui
selves to the limbs, we managed to
sleep off a portion of the second night,
and notwithstanding oiir more critical
situation, p..ss through it with even
less horror than the first.
The third day proved one of great
suffering ant?no less peril, in the same
interminable jungle, with its ferocious
beasts and veuomous reptiles; but just
before to our unspeakable joy,
we came to a clearing, and saw before
us a small Malay village, with a part of
the houses built on posts, and the rest
on the ground. At any other time this
village mighi have been an alarming
sight to us —for we knew some of the
Malays to be robbers, pirates, and can
nibals—but just then we felt that any
change from the miseries of that jungle
would be a relief; aod rather than
starve to death there, or be poisoned by
snakes, lizards, and spiders, or be torn
to pieces by wild beasts, we would have
boldly ventured into a village of the
worst savages on earth.
We proved to be objects of great cu
riosity, and were soon surrouuded by
men, women and childien, whose kindly
faces aud geniai manners convinced ns
we had nothing to fear. We tried to
tell them by signs that we had come
from a vessel, had got lost in the jun
gle, and were almost starved. They
seemed to understand us ; and one, who
appeared to be a chiel among them,
took us into his dwelling, and gave us
hot tea and food, and treated us with
true Christian hospitality. That same
night most of the crew of our vessel,
who had been two days searching for
us, arrived at the village, and we were
again aruongour friends. I shal l never
forget the joy of that meeting, nor the
horrors of my adventure on the island
of Banca.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, says : The lash and the
whipping-po9t are likely to resume tbeir
ancient place in the criminal code of
Virgiuia under the labors of the com
mittee of revision. It is believed that
this punishment is not merely the most
appropriate and effective for petit thieves
and other minor offenders, but that it is
the only available means of preventing
an overflow of the penitentiary by sub
mitting it in various cases for confine
meet in that institution. The lash in
fact, has never been formally abolished
; n Virginia,and is now not in infrequent
use in several cities and counties of the
Commonwealth, being impartially ad
ministered to white and black alike.

A Thrilling Scene.
Says a writer : It was a military re.*
view held in Vienna, on the occasion of
the fifteenth anniversary of the cstab”
lisbmont of the military Order of Ma*
ria Theresa.
Not far from 30,000 calvary were in
line. A littVe child—a girl—of not
moro than fbur years, standing in the
front row of spectators,either from fright
or some other cause, rushed out into the
open field just as a squadron of hussars
came sweeping around from the main
body. They had made the detour for
the purpose of saluting the empress,
whose carriage was drawn up iu that, part
of the parade ground. Down came the
flying squadron, charging at a mad gal
lop—down, down directly upon the
child. The mother was paralyzed, as
were others, for there could be no res*
cue from the line of spectators. The
empress uttered a cry of horror, for the
child’s destruction seemed inevitable—
and such teriible destruction—the
tramping to Jdeath by a thousand iron
hoofs !
Directly under the feet of the horses
was the little one—another instant must
seal its doom—when a stalwart hussar,
who was in the front line,without slack*
ing his speed or loosening his hold,threw
himself over by the side of the horse’s
neck, seized and lifted the child, and
placed it in safety upon his saddle bow;
and this he did without changing his
pace,or breaking the correct alignment
of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with rapt
urous applause the gallaut deed,and oth
ers applauded when they knew. Two
women there were who could only sob
forth their gratitude in broken accents
—the mother and the empress.
Aud a proud and happy moment must
it have been for the hussar wheD his
emperor taking from bis own breast the
richly enameled Gross of the Order of
Maria Theresa hung it upon the breast
of his brave and gallant trooper.

He Touched Her Heart.
Yesterday morning a woman living on
Napoleon street was seen on the walk in
front of the gate heaving the snow right
and left,and she only had got fairly set
tled to work when a boy lounged up and
remarked:
“I’ll clear off the walk for ten cents.”
“I gujss I’m able to do it,” she re
plied.
“But see how it looks,” he continued.
“Here you are, a perfect lady in look
and action, highly educated,and yet you
grovel the dust,as it were, to save the
pitiful sum of ten cents ”
“You grovel along and mind your own
business,” she curtly replied, still dig
gin;* away,
“It’s worth ten cents,” he said as he
leaned against the fence,“but I’m a fel
ler with some sentiment in my bosom.
Now we’ll say five cents, or just enough
to cover wear and tare o’ my bones. —
Give me the shovel and you go in, get

that. .
She looked at him sharply and saw
that he was in earnest, and when she
passed over the snow-shovel she put two
nickels into his hand. He loosed after
her as she went in and sadly mused :

woman homely enough for a scarecrow !”

A Gcod Winter Wife. —A negro
man has just applied to a Milton,N. C.,
magistrate to know how to get his wife
back. Milton is only separated from the
Virginia line by a small creek, and it
seems the woman’s brother had run her
off from her husband aud takon her
aoross the creek.
“How can I get her, boss, an’ what’s
de law in Virginoy ?” asked the negro.
“The cheapest way,” the magis
trate, “is to have no law abou it, just
go across the creek and overcome her
and briug her home.”
“I’ll sho’ do it, boss.” said the negro
“a hard winter settin’ in, no wood and
no nuffin ; bnt dat gal weighs two hun

He waded the creek with a steer’s

Talk about a woman without a baby,

might as well talk of ascending to the
moon on a greased moonbeam. People
point at him in the street, and s*y :

him to reflect that when he dies he will

Joy In One Household.
Ten years ago in Manchester, Eng
land,there lived Mr. Ephrain Marshall,
his wife, and several bright children. —
The eldest, Martha, proved to be the
wayward one of the floes.,and ended her
foily by eloping with Henry Jenkins, a
young engineer. They were married
and setting sail for America all tidings
of them were lost. Mr. and Mrs. Mar
shall afterward journeyed to New \ T ork,
and he was employed by the New Jer
sey Central Rai'road Company. He lives
in a neat little cottage in Bayonne. It
is Marshall’s duty to care for the station
at Centerville. While on his rounds in
the blinding snowstorm of New Year’s
night he stumbled across a bundle on the
threshhold of his door. It contained a
sleeping lufant wrapped in blankets.—
On its cl thing was a card saying that
the child’s name was Jenkins. The cou
pie were sure that it was the child of
the wayward daughter, and requested
the police to keep watch for her.
On Thursday, Chief Whitney track*
ed a strange woman to a wretched room
in avenue D.,and she acknowledged that
she was the daughter of Mr. Marshall.
She was without food or fuel She told
the Chief that after she ran away with
Jenkins he was employed in a New
Y ork dry goods house. He became dis
solute, and sank into poverty and dis
grace. Her life was one of trial and
suffering. Four ch’ldron had been born
to them, and all had died except the lit
tle waif. Two weeks ago she heard
where her parents were and she deter
mined to send the child to them, and
throw herself into the river. She went
from Bayonne with the int ntion of
committing suicide, but. her resolutions
failed her That night she was lestor
ed to her father and mother, who wep v ,
over her return.

THE
SAVANNAH MORNING IEVVS
For 1877.
On the first of January, 1877, the Morn
ing News enters upon its twenty-seventh
volume, and, it ia hoped by the conductors,
upon a prosperous year. Every returning
anniversary has witnc ssed its xtending in
f uence, and to-day it is the text of the po
itical faith of thousands of readers. Its
uniform consistency and steadfast devotion
to principle has gained for it the confidence
of the public, thus enabling it to contrib
ute largely to the triumph of the Demo
cratic party.
In the future, as in the past, no pains
will be spared to make the Morning News
in every respect still more deserving of the
confidence and patronage which has been
so liberally extended to it by the people of
Georgia and Florida. The ample means of
the establishment will be devoted to the
improvement of the paper in all its de**
partments, and to miking it a comprehen
sive, instructive and reliable medium of
the current news. Its staff of special cor
respondents—at Washington, Atlanta,
Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other points
of interest —has been reorganized with a
view of meeting every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and reliable.
As we are about entering upon the new
year, we desire to call especial attention to
our club rates of subscription.
POSTAGE FREE.
We will pay postage on all our papers go
inol to mail subscribers, thus making the
Morning News the cheapest newspaper of
its eii#and character in the South.
