Ambition's Dream.
.—-—-
BY J. W. BARKER.
W
One day when June was on the hills,
And summer in the vale was smiling,
When loudly sang the silver rills,
And bird and flower the day beguiling ;
Down through the window the shutter fell
A golden sunbeam, soft and still
It threw its mellow radiance o‘er,
And trembled on the parlor flOor'.‘
A little prattler, on whose‘ brow
But four sweet springs were gently sleeping.
Came dashing in his wildness now,
Near where the golden ray was creeping.
He paused a moment while his eye
Which imaged forth- the azure' sky,
Kindled with new delight to meet
,The golden picture at his feet.
' As quick as thought his dimpled hand
Amid the yellow tint was feeling,
He did not fully understand
The wealth and beauty there revealing ;
But thought beneath his pinefore,
To hide this precious golden store,
And in his little heart to feel
The consciousness pride he should conceal.
Once, thrice, he grasped, then to his eyes
He raised the fancied glowing treasure,
And when he missed the golden prize
His grief-and sadness knew no measure ;
And till his eyes were sealed in sleep,
He did not cease to sigh and WGEP
That such a treasure bright andme w,
Should vanish rudely from his view.
This is Ambition’s dream, I said ;
A sunbeam o’er our path is straying,
We chase the phantom still ahead,
Amid the clouds and shadows playing,
Nor till the damp, sleep of death
Hath chilled the nrdor of lifeis breath,
Can we persuade Cur sluggish sense
To seek the Sure Inheritance.

How Was T616 the Last of the Buc-
‘ CODOOYO.
It was in morning in December, the
early part of the mouth, in the year 1858,
in company with a mixed lot of specimen
numbers of humanity, that we issued
from the port of Batabano, which is on
the south side Of 1 the Island of Cuba,
nearly opposite to Havana. The speci-
menof Yankee ingenuity and industry
which bore as when she changed bands
was re-ch’rlslenedtheHabanero.What her
Yankee name was when she flourished
about Huston buy We will consider for-
gotten. Her destination upon this oc-
casion, as upon many others, was the city
of St. Jago de Cuba, and it was the in-
tention of her captain, as the papers ev-
ery day informed us, to call at the city
of Cienf‘uegas, Trinidad de Cuba, Santa
Cruz and'Manzanilla. And it was fur-
thermore the intention of said officer to
arrive at the ' port of St. J ago, after
about fourdays time, a part of which
would be spent in steaming at the rate
of seven'miles’ per hour through the
smoothesocof water, and the remainder in
taking in freight and discharging at the
different points of landing. I
The steamer is small, not over' clean,
yet endurable. The officers polite the
servants numerous and sufficiently atten-
tive. The passengers mixed—decidedly
mixed 2 in the cabin some ladies, some
young ladies, two, and‘ one younger; a
little miss of eight summers, the same.
number of antumns, ditto _of winters, and
likewise Of springs; though to see her,
one would suppose she was spring all
around. » Three elderly ladies completed
the half-dozen representatives .Of' femin-
ity. The gentlemen‘s cabin was better
populated. A young scion of Aristocra-
cy in the shape of a Count, who boasted
of the title of Aid-de-Camp to the Gov-
ernor General, and who also had very
weak eyes but a better head, was the on-
ly high dignitary we. could boast of. A
few officers of her Catholic Majesty’s ur-
my ; some with marks upon their ends,
some with a piece of gold cord upon both
shoulders, others with it only upon one.-—
B the which you may understand that
two shoulder marked must bow to‘cufi‘
mark‘ed and that one shoulder marked
must bow to two shoulder marked, and
furthermore yen may understand that
left shoulder marked must bow to right
shOulder marked. This piece of informa-
tion is gratuitous ; we throw it in as an
indication of our yankee cuteness in learn-'
ing things,expecting that it will heighten
the reader’s opinion of us. Besides offi-
cers we had two or three merchants from
the interior, but they did not make much
noise, for they were calculating how much
their two hundred, per cent profits would
amount to upon the stock' just bought at
Havana. Haifa-dozen planters and two
young men returning from the United
States fill up with one exception the.
cabin. In a few hours we double around
_a point with a lighthouse upon it, enter a
narrow crooked channel, soon pass a
small castle, are hailed by the sentinel,
continue up the channel, nlItil it opens
into a broad bay fifteen miles long and
three or four wide. Upon a tongue of
land, upon the side of this bay stands Ci-
enfuegas. Quite a Yankee town is Cien-
fuegas, broad, straight streets and a go-
a-hesd look. After some hours with
some addition to our cargo, in the shape
of two or three gentlemen, friends of
mine, we retrace our step own the bay,
pass the castle and light use and in six
hours we are at the port of Trinidad de
Cuba. The city covers on eminence
about two miles inland from the port, and
from the sea has a beautiful appearance.
A few hours at this place and we are
the monugement'of the Democ .1 tic par
ty. I remarked seven years age that tin.
Democratic party was determined to man '
or ruin the country, and I did no. thick :
there was much difference betwer: trc 2
two. How could you expect anyt; 1.1;;
better when the party is led and ' L In
trolled by renegade Whigs who have
been bought up by giving them pretty
much all the oflices.

.Another Irish Lad in Trouble.
The New Brunswick Fredoia‘n says
Francis Mitchell, lute porter of the
steamer Marion, recently sentenced to be
executed in South Carolina, for assist-
ing a slave in his attempt to leave the
State, is an Irish lad of about twenty
years of age, formerly a resident of that
city. He was employed on board the
steamship Niagara during thc'Atlantic
cable expedition, and since then on board
steamers. He denies all participation
in the ofl’encc for which he is to be hung.
His mother has gone on to endeavor to

grape, is increasing rapidly every year in
this country, and the time is probably not
far distant when very little of the article
will be imported from abroad. The
‘qnantity made in Ohio, last year, is es-
timated to have been not far from
one million gallons. In Connecticut
two hundred thousand gallons. The
Connecticut wines are pronounced the
best that have yet been exhibited in

: as... wish Was soon gratified, for early in
i 2.08 morning after leaving Trinidad our
little steamer was felt to not go so fast,
and in a few minutes to not go at all,
though the engine still continued its lo-
bors ; we were in fact fast stuck in the
mud. An anchor carried out astcrn and
thc‘haw ser taken to the shaft only drew
the anchor in,instead of the boat off, and'
as the tide was beginning to full fast, no
other resource remained but to wait the
next high tide.
We cannot say that the usual scene
was enacted, when the fact of our neces-
sary delay was announced : to American
experience it was an unusual scene—no
cursing, no fretting, scarcely an exclama-
tion of impatience was heard. Those
fond, of cards soon found solace at a
game of monte, but Yankee restlessness
soon suggested a relief for those who eS°
chewed the card tables.
tnin needed no urging to grant us the use
of one of the steamer’sboats, and with
four good 0an, 'a gay company was soon
afloat for a visit to some of the pretty
islands in the vicinity. The tiller Was in
the hands of one who knew well the
channels and islands. My friend Senor
Don Jose Maria Y , r had before
steered his pretty yacht graced with fair
cargo among these gems of beauty, and
this time he seemed determined to con-
duct us through the prettiest channels,

The polite cap- ,
toms ShOWed the Smallest shells far down
deep, and whose pure waters invite to a
bath all lovers of change Of elements.
The Islands among which wewere rev.
cling are the Twelve League Keys 3 they
stretch in a crescent form, nearly parul~
lel to the south coast of the main island
a distance of thirty-five miles and are dis.
taut from the island about. fifteen
miles. The largest Of the group is some
ten miles in rambling length, but the
greater part of them are mere plots from
the centre 'of which you may cast a stone
into the water. They are all covered
more or less densely with mangrove
bushes which bush is but a pocket edi-
tion of the banyan’ tree of India. A
shoot springs up,sends out lateral branch-
es which send one shoot down to the
sand and another upwards, so continuing
until quitea clump is made ; one would
judge that the whole was a shrub from
which two feet of sand had been washed
leaving the roots with but a slight hold
upon the soil. Our eyes feasted upon.
the beduties Of sea, little islands close by,
large island in the distance, birds over
head, fish down deep and bright eyes of
the two fair senoritas, and upon the joy-
ous countenance of the little miss be-
tween them, as her soul drank in beauty
until it was so full that it emanated from
her glowing face- and even from her very
motions of delight. Our conversation
was only expressions of surprise and joy
as each change of direction brought new
beauties into view, until our pilot infor—
med ns that the larger key in front
of us was the largest of all the group.—
After pulling alongside for a short dis-
tance, the sharp rocks gave way to a
pretty beach Of sand and shells, and we
landed with the intention Of taking a.
The shore of that part Of the is-
land in sight was barren rocks for about
one hundred feet in width, then came a
strip of mangrove bushes and inside, the
not over good soil is covered with short
grass. This island is so narrow that you
can almost throw a stone from shore to
shore. A playful playing walk of half a
mile brought us in sight of some charred
posts, the remnant of a stone wall and
other indications of a dwelling. To our
expressions Of wonder who" could , have
lived so isolated as this spot would indi-
cate; Senor Y———-r‘r,éplied that the
story of the' owner was a long one,
but if our patience would endure until we
were once more in the boat, he‘ would
give it as his memory best served him.
He then .led the Way farther down
towards the southeast and showed us a
beautiful bay, completely hidden by the
only large trees on the island. This bay
hetold us had a deep channel winding
among numerous islands toward the south
until finally it joins the sea. This chan-
nel permits. the entrance of vessels
drawing twelve or fourteen feet of water,
.and the bay will carry with ease three or
four good sized vessels at anchor.
We soon found our way back to our
boat for. all were anxious to hear our pi-
lot’s story, and probably none more so
than we who knew the man and expected
full justice done to anything which he
considered Of sufficient importance to put
his tongue to. _ The reader must be cOn-
tent with the story without the embellish-
ments, so well and aptly applied in the
rich and easy style of the language of
Castile. ‘
THE LAST OF THE BUCCANEERS
Years ago when the freebootcrs of the
West Indies became so troublesome as to
call down the anger of the powers that
be; and the seas became too hot for
those wild rovers of the main, at the
foot of the mountains which raise their
tall heads east of Cienfuegas; where the
Arimao is carrying the waters from the
western lepes down to the sea; there
lived a gen'leman who had formerly, on}
cupied a rising position in the army of
Spain, but becoming enamored of the
daughter of a Cuban planter, he .forsook
the military career and settled in the
home Of his wife. Here the period men-
tioned found him a widower with a
daughter of fourteen, summers and a son
.of but three years. He busied himself
with his estate and a store,which he kept
well supplied, as much for his own enjoy-
ment as for the accommodation .of his
neighbors._ One day he was waited upon
by a gentleman, well dressed,wcll mount-
ed and good looking, who requested
the privilege of furnishing him with a
considerable stock of goods, such as were
needed in a country store. The gentle-
man made his terms so easy that an inti‘
macy at once Sprung up, and many a.
boat load of goods were brought as far
up the Arimao as the water would ad-
Init, and from there transferred by mules
or carts to the store of Senor Don Pe-
dro 0—0.
The handsome gentleman whom we
will call Don Antonio, from time to time
carried away heavy bags of ounc.s
from the house of Don Pedro, and of
course one having such weighty transac-
tions would be a welcome guest at hishouse
Two years passed thus ; profitable years
to the pockets of Don Pedro, and prolific
ones, of change in the thoughts and feel-
ings of his daughter. . , "
Eustoquia now numbered sixteen years,
and: though not exceedingly beautiful.

she possessed a vivacity which gave her
toterable regular countenance a pleasing
expression. Her isolation from society
had left her entirely wrapped up in her
father and little brother, since the loss of
her mother. But latterly the kind atten-
tions of the handsome Dam Antonio had
taught her that affection could be divi-
ded and each part equal the whole heart.
But one day the young man Opened the
eyes of the.fnthei',by requesting the hand
of Eustoquia. The strong Don Pedro
was shocked, he had not anticipated such
results, and now be doubted the justice
of his connection with the. illicit trade he
had aided so much. He had never rob-
bed with his own hands, yet be well
knew that the goods with which his store
had from time to time been replenished
Were the cargoes Of missing goletas,which
were supposed by others to be making
hiding places for pocket editions Of the
finny tribe far down below the blue
waves, and his nature rebelled against
the idea of closer connection with one.
who regarded the lives of his fellow men
so lightly by the side of gain.
It may be appropriate here to explain
ing, these bright waters were not plough-
ed by the force of two chained elements,
but the traffic between the different points
upon the coast was by means of :small
schooners, Of from forty tO'one hundred
tons burden. These were usually man-
ned by but three or four men, and in the
timcslof which we are speaking, many
were the losses sustained, but not until
some years after was the true canseknOWn. '
As might be expected, Don Pedro’s
answer was not favorable, he hesitated
for fear of exposure of his complicity in
the Operations of the daring Antonio,
which he knew must one day be brought
to light. The old gentleman’s order——
not to darken his doors more—was Obey-
ed to the letter, and two nIonths’ absence
of Don Antonio had wcll nigh restored
the family to its accustomed condition,
outwardly, at least. But the father was
one morning surprised by the non-ap-
pearance of Enstoquio, he ordered her
maid to be brought before him, but the
search for her was equally fruitless.
The’truth was obvious,DonA.ntonib had
carried Off the daughter and her maid.—
The most faithful search failed to reveal
their hiding place, and live or six .years
of mourning repaid Don. Pedro for his
cupidity in departing from the path of
right, aanstilling his conscience. with the
idea that he was free from guilt because
he had no legal knowledge of the means
by which , such quantities of goods were
obtained. . .
The medium by which Don Antonio
and Eustoquia had communicated was
the usual one which even now is the fa-
vorite of the belles and beaux Of Cuba,
the young lady’s maid. The night of
elopement as early as ten, o’clock, the
handsome Don. Antonio was in waiting
in a clump of bushes not far from the
house ; after receiving her father’s benc-
diction for the night, Eustoqnia and her
maid joined him and in two minutes after
all were well mounted and on their way
to the mouth of the Arimno, where a go.
leta was quietly standing off and on, and
a boat was in waiting to put them abo‘ard.
The servant of Don Antonio disappeared-
|,with the horses, and upon the next tack
of the goleta—the five occupants of the
boat, Don Antonio, Eustoquia, her maid
and the two sailors-who manned the
boat, were safe aboard The passage
along the shore was ‘now considered too
dangerous by the Captain, his freight
was too precious to be risked, he who
had roamed the high seas even after the
fleets of the north \vere too numerous for
Others to dare to show their faces ; he
who had cut out: a vessel from node r the
very guns Of a man-of-war ; he who had
for over two years sailed nnmolestcd
through those very channels, and had in
fact known no fear, was now afraid to
trust himself where there was in fact, no
danger.
Ah woman lwhat power is thine, to
kindle the-soul of man to deeds of high
during ; or to beget trembling fear in
the heart which has known it not, before.
Instead of keeping the channel between
thc'main island and the keys, the goletu
was stccrcd toward the West until far
enough to clear some small islands and
rocks to be soon upon the right hand as
you are coming up, toward the entrance
to the bay of Cicnfucgas ; when a sea-
ward course was adopted, and when the
morning sun gilded the tall mountain
tops of Trinidad, they were a-beam of thc
golcta. . . . V
Latc in' the afternoon the goleta was
at anchor in the little bay south east of
the ruins of the house we visited upon the
Leagues.
That house was the residence of Don
Antonio and his Eustoqnia for five years,
when one morning a brig-of-wnr was seen
by the mother and her little boy as they
were picking shells upon the bench”; it
,came to anchor not more than a mile
from the shore and a boat puts ofl' from
her toward the shore. The mother hur-
ried to the house and leaving her child
with her faithful maid, went down-to the
head of the little bay where five years
,before she landed to share the fortunes
that in the days of which we are speak-3 -
the largest of the Keys of the Twelve -
of one now beating up in that vessel just '
visible in the distance. With active fin-
gers she untied the white flag from the
halyards of- the not very tall flag staff
and substituting a red one—run it up,
then calmly beiaying the halyards to the
cieat—she stood watching the increments
of the goleta until she saw by the broad
white sails, that it Was standing out of
the channel, she then lowered away the
flag and returned to the house just as the
boat'landed upon the beach where she
was a few minutes before with her boy. A
couple of th'cerirwith half-a‘dOzen men
jumped ashore and came up to the house.
The officers politely saluted the lady, and
asked if her husband Was‘at home, she
replied he was not. When did he leave ?
Two days ago. Where has he gone f—
To St. Jago de Cuba. When will he re-
turn ? Do not know. Does any one
else live upon this island ? No one.
”The officers were evidenly at a loss
what to do, but after a short consultation
they returned to their boat and to their
vessel,'which was soon under weigh and
not iug more was seen of the briglOf-war
by the inhabitants of the island.
Months passed, but the husband and
father returned not to- his island
home, nor did any tidings eyer reach the
young widow of the goleta-éshe had seen .
fill away for out to sea, at. a signal from
her own hands. After months of anxious
waiting, she made a signal ‘to a small '
vessel which was passing and was taken
abo .rd it carried to Cienfnegas. She found
her father dead and her brother at school.
To-day——two men in the prime of life,
mourn the loss of their all—~one a moth-
er, the other a motherly sister.
Our Pilot spoke the hat with evident
feeling, and. but a few Of us knew: that as
we climbed aboard the Steamer his frame
shook with strong emotion. ' ‘ .
But we hpd been on a visit 'to the
birth-place of his nephews—that 'erratic
genius whose brilliant wityis as strange
as his journey to see Paris where he stay-
ed but one day. '

FALLEN Guinness—The Washington
correspondent of the. Pittsburg (Pa,)
Journal tells the following anecdote, at
the expense of R. J. Walker :
“ YOu are aware that, by the rules of
the House adopted last session, no one is
admitted on the floor of the hall unless
he is a member or a Senator ; still, now
that there is no Speaker, and virtually
no rules, many persons contrive to smug-
gle themselves in, and busy themselves in
electioneering. Yesterday, while stand-
.ing near the main entrance to the hall
a. small, nervous, and somewhat shabby
individual, walked up to the door and
endeavored to enter without even the
ceremony of asking leave, when the fol-
lowing colloquy‘ensned : . _
Doorkeeper— -Hold on there I, are you
a member, Senator, or officer of the
House 27 ‘
Small Man—~No ; I am an ex-Senator.
Doorl-eeper‘—Ex-Senators are not ad.
mitted.
Small Man—But I am an ex-Secre-
tory of the Treasury.
Doorkeeper—Can’t help it, but , you
have no right to go in. ,
Small Mun, (exeit'edly)-—-Confound it
I am cx-Grovernor of Kansas 1
Doorkeeper, (mildly, but firmly)——Bnt.
you can't go in unless you’re a member.
Small Man, (savagely)—‘—Well, sir,
take my name in to Mr. ——, I am
"when. J. Walker, sir 1 And the little
man bridled up in a style of great indig-
nation. Mr. —-—— came out, and the
small man went in, under his protection.
After he had disappeared I remarked to
the doorkeeper, “ You did not know that
gentleman, I reckon?” ,
Dnorlreeper, (snickcring)—O yes, I
knew the lillle cuss . well enough, but. I
wasn’t going to let him in without an In-
troduction ! '

over a mistake said to have been made
by the Postmaster at Milwaukee. A va-
cancy having occurred in the Post-Chico
at Water-town, Wis.—a very considera-
ble town—the Milwaukee P. M. was re.
quested to endorse the proper candidate
for thc'place. He had a friend by the
name of" Regan, whom he wished to
oblige, and he sent on the name of “Pat—
rick Regan, Esq.,” and (the story goes)
he was appointed 1‘ Whereupon It turns -
out. that Patrick Regan is a staunch Re-
publican, while Peter Regan is the gen-
tleman for whom the office was intended l
