of remark that these machines are rarely
seen at fairs, and the Singer Co. have not
entered into the general scramble for pre-
miums which has characterized the past few
years. The agent in this city saw fit, how-
ever, to come out on this occasion, in force;
and notwithstanding the competion was
sharp—the Wheeler & Wilson, Grover &
Baker, on, joining in the contest—it was
plain to be seen. when the practical tests
were applied that the “plumes” must be

‘May Parties on the Mls‘slsaip'pl.
I have seen Norwalk Harbor in its gayest
attire, when the sun-light shone on the-dan-
cing waters, and the “white caps” showed
their heads far out on the Sound. On the
memorable “Fourth,” when from desk and
bench and - loom and wheel the nerve and
muscle of old Connecticut sprang up to cele-
brate with streaming sail, and merry song
o’er the glad waters “the natal day of Ameri-
can Liberty ;” when the girls were there,
too, with the “jockie hat and feather” on,
and “i went merry as a marriage bell.”
But of all gay scenes the gayest, oh, “the
maddest, merriest day of allthe glad New
Year,” is a May Party oh the Father of Wa-
ters. There is a charm in the month. While
winter has scarcely released his cold grasp
" 0n the stern New England coast,"
May is with us the menthol roses, and the'
balmy breeze is laden with the perfume of
locust flowers and sweet violets.
I have attended two such excursions late-
ly. Twenty large carriages, each seating
from eight to fifteen persons, started one
bright morning early in the month, for a four
mile ride to the steamboat landing at Alton,
Illinois, near the junction of the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. There the charming
“May Brunet” lay chartered for the occasion,
with flags flying and the band gaily playing.
Having received her precious cargo of the
blithe and young, the beautiful, and brave,
she plunged her sturdy sides into ‘fhe deep
waters, and breasted the swift-running cur-
rent. We greeted the picteresque bluflha
with our national airs. . on, do you think
the stem warriors of other days whose skele-
tons, buried within those bluffs, sit grimly
facing the rising son. were sadly reminded
of the time When they “paddled their light
canoes down the “big waters” that rung
with their fell war-whoop 2 . No,'no._ They
have followed the chase afar over the “hunt-
ing fields of the Great Spirit," and ’till the
heavens beno more they will not return nor
awake out of their sleep, .

this, too, at the very moment when the

invading foe. But concluding it safest to
fall back on the, rear we valiantly seized
cake, sandwiches and pickles and beat a
masterly retreat. Such being the wisdom

But presently the wherry came alongside,
apd David was just stepping into it, when he
turned back to kiss his wife and children
once more. “In with you, man,” said Pela-
tiah Curtis. “There’s-no time for kissing and
such fooleries when the tide serves." ,
And so they parted. Anna and the boys
went back to their home, and David to. the

a lost ship, and would never come back to
port. And poor Anna had her bombazlne

she was known ‘only as the Widow Matson.
And how was it all this time with David
himself?

had for along time been in the habit of fit-

«if-place as slaves, poor David Maison among
the rest.
When a boy he had learned the trade of a
shipca‘rpenter with hisjfatlier on the Merri-
mack; and now he was set at work in the
dock-yards. His master, who was naturally
a kind man, did not overwork him. He had
daily his three loaves of bread, and when his
clothing was worn out, its place was supplied
bythe coarse cloth of wool and cammel’s hair
woven by the Berderwomen. Three hours
before sunset he was relea'sed from work,
and Friday, which is the Mohammedan Sab-
bath, was a, day of entire rest. Once a year,
at the seasons called Ramadan, he was left
at leisure for a whole week. So time went
on—days, weeks, months, and years. His
dark hair became gray. He still dreamed of
his old home on hhe Merrimack, and of his
good Anna and the boys. He wondered.
whether they yet lived, what they thought
of ever seeing them again grew fainter and~
fainter, and at last nearly died out; and he
resigned‘himselfjp his fate as a slave for
life. ' .
But one day ahanjome, middle-aged gen-
tleman, in the dress of one of his own coun-
trymen, attended by a great oflcer of the
Boy, entered the shipyard, and called up be-
fore him the Americau captives. The stron-
As you might expect, the poor fellows were
very grateful; some laughed, some wept for
jOy, some shouted and sung, and threw up
their caps, while others, with David Maison
among them, knelt down on the chips and
thanked God for the great deliverance.
“This is avery affecting scene,” said the'
Commissioner wiping his eyes. “ I must
keep the impression of it for my Columbiad”;
~—and drawing out his tablet he proceeded
to write on the spot an apostrophe to Free-
dom, which afterwards found a place in his
great epic“. .
David Matson had saved a little money
during his captivity, by odd jobs and work
on holidays. He got a passage to Malaga
where he bought a nice shawl for his- wife
and a watch for each of his boys. 7'
He then went to the quay, where an
American ship was lying just ready to sail
for Boston.
Almost the first man he saw on board
was Pelatiah Curtis, who had rowed him
down to the Port seven years before. He
found that his old neighbor did not know
him, so changed was he with his long beard .
and Moorish dress, whereupon, without tell-
ing his name, he began to put questions
about his Old home, and finally asked him
if he knew a Mrs. Matson.
“ I rather think I do,” said Pelatiah; “she’s
my wife." .
“Your wife i" cried the other. “ She is
mine before God and man. I am David
Maison and she is the mother of my chil-
dren."
“God is great i” said poor David Matson,
unconsciously repeating the familliar words
of Moslem submission. “His will be done.
I loved her, but I shall never see her again.
Give these, with my blessing, to the good
woman and the boys,” and he handed over,
With a sigh, the little bundle containing the
gifts for his wife and children.
He shook hands with his rival. “Pelatiah”
he said looking back as he left the ship “ be
kind to Anna and my boys.”
“Ay, ay, sir i” responded the sailor in a
careless tone. He watched the poor man
pissing slowly up the narrow street until
out Of sight. “It’s a hard case for old David,”
he said helping himself to a fresh cud of to-
bacco, “but I’m glad I’ve seen the last of
him.”
When Pelatiab Curtis reaaied home he
told Anna the story of her husband and laid
his gifts in her lap. She did not shriek- nor
faint, for she was a healthy woman with
strong nerves ; but she stole away by herself
and 'wept bitterly. She lived many years
after, but could never be persuaded to wear
the pretty shawl which the husband of her
vouth had-sent as his farewell gift. There is,
liovitever, a tradition that, in accordancewilh
her dying wish,‘ it was w'rapped about her
poor old shoulders in the cofiln, and buried
with her. . ' '
The-little old bull’s-eye watch, which is
still in the possessioa of one of her grandchilv
dren, is now all that remains to tell of David
