BY D. B. FREEMAN. ALt JN A VMAM. 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 CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1877. 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.

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. 0 ... 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 on your sealskin sacque and best jewel ry,and while I work you stand out here and boss around,and talk as if you own ed the biggest part of North America, while I had nothing,and was in debt for 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 : 0 !

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 dred, d’only time when a wife’s a corn, fort.” He waded the creek with a steer’s whip in one hand and a long rone in the other,and successfully “laid in”hi* win ter’s heat.

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.
