And wherefore came the dew.
\Vhe'n Eve. tliroiigli Satan's‘ sore deceit,
Touched the forbidden tree, ‘
And tempted her “ good man" to eat,
_ _'I‘lie Lord came angrily;
And straighiway turned from Eden's bovvers
These first-born sinners forth ;_
Awayfi-om all its smiling flowers—:
Upon the barren earth.
But pitying, are to ‘Heaven he passed,
His angels—bi'othei's then——
O’er all the ea rth't‘heir footprints cast.
And hill, andgvale, and glen
And ere they fled from view, -
They strewed the flowers wit._h pitying tears,
Which since have passed for devr.
And thus. though paradise was lost
By first of human kind,
Their children know, though sorely ci'ossed,
God's love is left behind.
A Basiifui. Lover.
I never spoke to her of love, .
Thou,-qli summer, fall_and spring,
I changed my (lickoy and my boots,-
To do that very thing!
But, while I sat, though I went in
Resolved to dare my fate,
My resolution with my dog,
Lay shivering at the gate. .
For years her shadow was my light,
She must have known it all,
Although I only bluslied and sighed
And stainniei'eil in the hall.
Once, only ‘dearest, I—’ the blood
Ran crimson to her cheek !
My heart. lay beating on my tongue—- »
"1‘was all—-I dared not speak.
She read the meaning of my flowers,
She treasured all my rhymes,
‘ Faint heart ne’er won,’ iipou the snow, --
She wrote a thousand times.
And in the silver sand she’d try
To make me rhyme her dove, '
But. stupid I, with all ,her help,
\Vould never write my ‘love.’
1 never spoke to-her of love,
My tongue failed at the start,
And so I lived to swear I would,
And curse my chicken heart.
One steady pulse, one gasp of pluck,
To nerve my quickened frame,
And I’d have bravely spoken out—-
Alas! they never came.
One fierce and desperate effort more'—--
It ended in :1 cough!
The words were burning on my tongue—-
I couldn’t get ’em off.
,I never spoke to her of love-
But. another fellow did!
He called one lucky night for lint‘.
And did the thing, and ‘ slid!’

MISCELLANY. P
A Slug-‘1‘11a'=r Story’.
The following curious narrative, told as be-
ing strictly true, is from the March number of
the Water Cure Journal. Its incidents will
remind the reader of the Scottish second sight,
of which we have so‘ many examples.
I was at school a close student, ii young.
ambitions lad ofsixteen, somewhat homespun
butstrong in uprighlness, and conscious of
pom-er. My dear father was sick and gradu-
ally undergoing that grand metempsychosis
which the shallow thinker calls Death. It
was a stormy day in January; the snow had
fallen two feet deep, when I started for my
home, eightniiles distant. My father had
written me that he wanted toisee me, he
wanted to look into my facc—hc wanted to
give me i'nj'u‘nction after injunction not to for-
get my duties to him in the care of his wife,
iny mother, He need not have said if. I
'could not—-I never can forget him or her.
Death! A man such as my father never
dies. He lives in his coudsels full of wisdom
as they were of heart in his examples ripe
from wide observation and varied experiment,
constituting ample experience: in his prin-
. .
' "“'—
ber, gave me time to get the chairs out ofihe
way, and gather myself for a fight. She
recovered, and looking at me in moment said,
as if in a eoliloquy, “Oh! you choose" to‘
cross my track, do you? Well dl-_—n me if
I do not settle you pretty quick,” and ihurst-‘
ing her hand into her cloak, made as if she
would draw a dagger. The motion madden-
ed me; it brought foam to my lips, Istruck
her a half dozen blows quick as lightning,
she let her dagger go,-and clenched" me--her
gripe satisfied meih:-it I had found my match,
aye, more in strength, and that my skillasa
boxer, and my almost unequalled ability as a
wrestler, must save _me_ 1 had learned
pugilism of a clever English teacher, and at
wrestling to that day, 1 had never been
thrown. I knew when I felt the gripethatl
was dealing with a man. I felt that my
father and mother were relying on me, and I
grew strong, as I before said. We tussled,
grasped and let loose, struck and parried,
clinched and wrestled, fill at various attempts
we found ourselves to what wrestlers call a
“side hold.” lgofthe “ under arm,” and I
lifted him--for it was no longer her-over
my hip, threw my leg around his,and turn-
ed him. He fell on the floor like a log, I
intended to breakhis bones, but he unhook-'
ciples, which were absolute, as great moral
truths are: in his very mistakes, which were I
very few and were not small. His desire to ;
see me ‘growing out of a feeling that be.‘
rnlght,at any hour,‘ pass onward,’ and tel
give me counsel, was natural, but not neces-
sary. But his slightest wish was low to me,
and I started for home, as l have said, on foot.
\iVeary walk, this trudging in an unbroken
snow path. Before I reached our door, I
thought my body would iire_out completely
—but it did not. Iaccomplished it.
__ I ate my supper, chatted awhile with my
"parents and went. to bed in my old bedroom.
kitchen, gratified at my arrival and proud of
me.
I fell aslee p— awoke,and arose and dressed,
came into the kitchen, and took a seat be-
tween my father and mother. They looketl
surprised, and inquired why I had lell’. my
bed.
Said I, ‘has nobody been in here since I
‘No.’
‘ Has nobody been trying to injure you,
father? Has no one demanded money of
you 2’
"N03
T ‘VVcll,’ replied I, ‘There will somebody
least I have dreamed there would, and the
t.ll‘8aI|).lS no illusion to me, but a fierce reali-
I .3
My father smiled as if incredulous, yet iis
though he asked no braver or better defend-
ers than his boy. A: that instant my moth-
er, a very cautious woman, heard a‘ rap at
the door, and stepping to it as I supposed to
inquire who was theieand what was wanted."
instead, opened the door,,and in came a ter-
rible gust of wind and snov'v——-for the night
was l1idt‘.0l1s—-ttntl with them marched in a
woman. 7 _, 4
She walked imir-.mg- {mm the door is the
fire, when she (liscoiiered me, and I evidently
ttook her aback by my presence. I saw this,
lat a glance. [saw the creature 0 my dream. i
[ [mew l vies destined to a‘ struggle, and]
' grew in strength as I looked at my dear fath-
ger arid l"Il'0lh€,r: She took a chair, turned its
lback to the fire’, and Seated herself with her l
;' face in the shadow. I kept ray seat and ap-
‘ peaifcd to’ give no attention to her.
‘Who are’ you 2’ inquired my fathci‘;
‘What’s that It)" you 1’ said she. _
--‘Everyihing,_if you are to stay iii l
house,‘ nothing if you are not.’ H i
i What if I will not tell you 2' , I
‘Then you must leave the house 7’ , _
‘ Leave the hoiise E’ exclaimed she, I
shoulrl like to see any one here try to put me
out I’ . .. ' .
‘ What if I (‘fall ii‘ie‘i’i’ and tiirow you‘ out I

‘You have not got any men‘,-

‘ How do you know '3’ _ _
‘I inquired at the last bruise on the road
before I came here. It is Saturday night-
and I was t'olilyou‘r laborers all went hoine

Iglanced at my father,‘ he was pale but
his courage ebbed not a whit. He was help’-‘

that very week from his large vi>h'ea't_ sales‘;
and he saw what was before liim. This bag
was either it decoy,’ or a’ man‘ in‘ disgui‘se,~
whose object was robbery. I could see all
this was rapidly passing th'rou‘gh my father’s
mind, but it did not bowliim the’ ninth part
of an‘ inch. 80 I sat still, as if I s"uspe'eied
notlting but at war of word's; the bag had an

cloak and woman hood fell offiogether. I
struck him before he was balanced, stagger.-
ed him, grappled my left hand into his
throat, and struck him again-‘—=-=called on my
mother to open-the door, and as she did, I
pushed him and kicked him out._ He swore
he would be the death of me. I told him to
take himself out of the State or I would put
the sheriff on his track," and shutting the
door in his face, walked to my father. .
‘ My son,’ said he, ‘ kneel down,’ and I
did, and my mother was by my side, and my
brother, a boy younger than myself who had
awakened, and crept out into the kitchen, was
also there, and father prayed God for his bles-
sings, and thanked Him for our safety, and
blessed me for my coolness and bravery--:
and we all wentto bed.
Now, letyourdoubters fell iiie how Iciiiiie
to‘-see this iiiatter beforehand. This very
hooded and cloaked man’, I had seen, and
heard his threats to my father, had struggled
with him, and conquered him in my dream,
before he came into the house, and had awak-
ened and left my bed to go and see after my
futhei’s safety, and to conqiier him again in
the kitchen. All the main feattiries of the
occitrrence were made" known to me before
they took place, and by the impression they
made on me enabled me, I doubt not, to
save my p'arcnt’s liveS;__ This incidentdlf-
