I plough no more a desertland,
To, ha st wood and tare; i .
The man a dropping from God's hand
Rebukes my painful cure.

Aside the toiling oar , ,
The angel sought so far away
I welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening "corn,
Nor freshness cf the flowers of May '
Blow through the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blueeyed gentiau look
Through fringed lids to Heaven, _
And the pale aster in the heck
Shalloee its image given.
The woods shall wear their robes of praise
The south wind softly sigh,
And sweet, calm days' In golden haze
Melt down the amber sky.

The groves flowers that wreath the sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But smiting hands shall learn to heal,
To build as to destroy;

That I the more enjoy.
' All as God wills, who wisely hccds
To give or_ to withhold, '
And knoweth more of all my needs
Then all my prayers have told.
Enough that blessings undeserved,
Have marked my erring track—.
That wherewe’er my feet have swerved
His chasteuiug turned me back—
That more and more 11 Provide 11cc
Of love is understood,
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good-4—
That death teeth but a covend way
Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Father's right—
That care and trial seem at last,
Through memory’o sunset air,
Like mountaiuranges overcast,
In purple distance fair—V
That all the jarring notes of life
Seem blended in a psalm, ‘

And so the west winds play,
And all the windows of my heart

,Eorrons Gamm- .-'l‘hinking you would
not object to hearing a- few lines from oneof
the Volunteers of your own State, I take the
libertyof addressing you a letter, giving you
a few details of our cruise. 0n the 7th of
January last, this vessel went into commis-
sionzat the New York Navy Yard, and on
the let of Feb..we weighed anchor and pro-
fast to tho buoy for the, purpose of adjusting
compasses. It blowed very heavy from the
N. E. We were delayed until the 3rd, when.
we put tosea. For ten days were gales and
cyclones. 0n the 22d we arrived at Points
A’ Pietro, Guadeloupe; took in coal,and left
there on the 8d of March for Ceara, Brazil,
which place we reached on the 19th. Left
there on the 241k and arrived at Rio de Ja-
neiro on the 7th of April. 4 Left there on the
25th for the Cape of Good Hope, and arrived
them May 27th. Had severe gales all the
passage. Lost one life-boat, sprung our main
top-mast, and had our fore and main topsluils
blown away. Stopped at the Cape long
enough to make necessary repails, and left
there J 1111c 23d for the Island of Madagascar.
Arrived at St. Augustines Bay, Madagascar,
July 91h. Was boarded by a native calling
himself Prince George. He was almoSt des-
titute of clothing as seems to be the fashion
in that Country. On the IOth I went on shore
and found the natives wore a barbarous race
living in huts built of bamboo. They are a
lazy ciass,and are almost continually fighting
with the natives in the interior. The weap-
ons used in war consist mostly of spears,and
bows and arrows. Somelimes you will meet
one with an old flint lock musket Money
is of little value to them, and anything ciao
but silver they will refuse, as they use it for
making ornaments: We were the first
American Man of War that ever visited this
place, and the King and his Princes came on
board loses us. There all carried spears,
and they were so well pleased with the ves-
sel that it was almost impossible to rid our-
selves of them. On the 13ih'we left there
for Johanna, Comor Islands. I will give you
a brief description of this place and the peo-
ple.
J uly 24th at 6.15 p. m. in sight of Mooaam«
oodoo, Island of Johanna. When within
two miles of 'our anchorage and 4 miles from
the town, a boat—formerly the 4th cutter of
the Privateer Alabama, which vessel was
here in February, 1864—came along side with
a pilot and two inhabitants from the town.
They were dressed in a white gown, extend-
ing nearly to the feet with a belt around their
waist and a dagger attached to it. The hilt
of the dagger and sheath were finely finished
in Tuscan work of sliver and gold. On their
feet they wore sandals, and on their heads
the immaculate turban. They are all Arabs
belonging to the higher class, and speak Eng-
lish exceedingly well. After ceming to an-
chor ourvessel was swarmed with the towns
people, until about 9 p. m., when I retired.
J uly 25th the vessel was so uncommonly
quiet that I slept sound until the Steward
awakened me and told me br kfast was

struck with the soft, picturesque beauty of

, of this, but can get no redress. They say the

enough to interfere' lu everybody’s business,

selves'would gladly come to us, as they~ are"

who are continually making war and enslav-
‘ing one another. My informant himself was
a lull blooded African negro, with an immac-
uiaie white turbau,aud the flowing robe and
loose jacket of the Mahommedan. The is-
land is 'a beautiful spot. There is quite a
’ mountain in 'the interior, and the? higher
1 parts of Johns are de y wooded, the
‘ mountain sides being in so laces so step
that the tops of some trees touch the roots
‘ and trunks of others.
The inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs
and negroes, they are intelligent and spright-
ly, and say that the American War bore
heavily upon them, as they are now compels

and started for Muscat, which port we reach-
‘ed on the 26th, and left there on the 29th.
At Muscat there was cc nsidcrable excitement
in anticipation of an attack on the place by
Syud Tookhar, uncle of the Sultan or Imaum
of Muscat or as he is improperly termed Sy-
ud Silem. It appears that about six months
ago Byud Silcm killed his own father, for the
purpose of being Sultan. Since then Syud
Tookhar has been in enmity againsthim, and
has attacked him once'aud got possession of
one of the forts at Muscat. Syud Silem then
bought his uncle off for £400 and a Dhow.
When we left, Syud Tookhar was about three
miles from the place with about 5000 men
intending to attack the town and the inhabi-
tants of Muscat were almost certain of his
success, and every body wore packing up
their valuables and sending them aboard of
the vessels lying in the harbor. Syud Sllem
was making all preparations in his power for
his defence, but cannot trust the people
they all dislike him very lunch. The inhabi-
tents of Muscat are of a mixed race of Arabs,
Persians, Indians, Syrians, Kurds, Afi'ghans,
Belocbeea and others. They are chiefly en-
gaged' in commercial and maritime pursuits.
The principal body of merchants consist of
Bauiaus, who almost exclusively monopo-
lize the pearl trade of the Persian Gulf. The
common language is the Hindoostane or a
lingua Franco. Bombay where we are at
present is .a very fine city, but nothing like
our own. The streets are very narrow and
dirty, and as this is the rainy season it isvery
dirty, but all white people ride 1n cabs and
palanquins As you walk along the streets
the natives will hail you, Palakee lange sub.

them were made of Plaster of Paris and they
call them Gum Putts. I will not enter'iato

of the history of that person. In bringing

The Lady of Lame.
Not many veers ago the gay world of
'Paris was excited by a strange and romantic
affair. Emilie Lamont, a young lady with
a splendid f‘ rinse, and highly accomplished
lamina and manners, announced to the,
world that she would bestow her hand and
fortune upon any getleman who pleased her,
but that he must be willing in consideration
of her wealth and other attractions, to put
up with a face of unparalled ugliness. A
certain time each day was appointed to re-
ceive the visits of the suitors at Lsrose, Mad-
emoisclle Lamont's beautiful residence' in the
vicinity of Paris.
Among the first who responded to the
szngular announcement was Sir Charles Dash-
ington, a young Englishman of noble family,
who had squandered a princely fortune' in the
gambling houses of " the dissipated Capital of
France. He eagerly seized upon the oppor-
tunity to mrnd his broken fortunes, and to
establish himself again in the world of pleas-
ure. Dashington was possessed of that beau-
ty of form and face which attracts the gaze
of artists and wins the love of women His
self-conceit led to suppose that no woman
could resist him ; and he only thought it nec-
essary to present himself before the Lady of
Lsrosc 1n order to win her hand. and what
be valued more, her fortune. With this ob-
ject 1n view, he attired himself in a magnifi-
cent suit of clothes, hired a carriage, and pro-
ceeded in dashing style in search of wealth
and a wife. ' ‘
It was a delicious day' in Junc,and the gar-1
dolls and grounds of; Larose presented a scene
of ravishing beauty to the eyes of Sir Charles
Dashington, who looked upon himself as
soon to be “monarch of all be surveyed. ”—
After a drive of a quarter of an hour through
winding roads bordered 'with sweet and bril
'liant flowers, and through shady and cool:
groves, the superb villa 0‘ Lsrose burst upo ni
his enraptured s'ight.‘ As he drove up he
was met by a servant in handsome livery,
who conducted him through an elegant mar-7,
his gallery into the spacious reception room.
The matchless splendor of this apartment
dazzled the eyes of Sir Charles Dashington.
The floor was composed of exquisite mosaics,
wrought into quaint and curious patterns ,.
the walls were beautifully frescoed after thef
manner of Raphael ; before the crimsong
tinted Windows-hung purple silk'curtail‘ls,
which trembled 1n the vibration of low incl-
anoholy music, whose origin could not be;
placed in different parts of the 10 am; some
of them loaded with richly bound booknand
others having on them gorgeo us vases of;
flowers whose odor pervaded ti 1c apartment
In one corner stood a' massive cabinet, con-
taming curlosties‘, and sum .ounted with
basis of celebrated authors, ‘among, which

Dashington arose and advanced
to meet the person who entered. He
was prepared to see a face, ugly, indeed, but
when his eyes fell upon the frightful fea-
tures of the lady, he shrunk back with an
exclamation of horror. Her lips were with-
ered and bloodless; her eyes were sunk
deep in their sockets; her large and mi:-
shapen nose was a revolting object; and her
skin was dry and yellow as an Egytian mum-
my.
Without appearing io notice Dashington’s
embarrassment, Emilio welcomed him to
Larosa in a few sweetly spoken words; and
to his surprise, she spoke in English with a
slight but charming accent; for among many
accomplishments of the singular creature
was a perfect knowledge of the modern lan-
guages. Sir Charles was somewhat reassur-
ed by her kind welcomc and winning voice
and he succeeded in overcoming, or at least
in concealing the disgustwhich the horrible
ugliness of her face had at first occasioned.
After a long preliminary conversation he
ventured to approach the subject which had
brought him to Larosc.
"Madumoiselle,"he said, with a how, “if
I did not know that thc‘Garden of Eden was
in Asia, I should think that I had found it
to-day in your dellcious retreat.”
“Sir Charles Dashington is pleased to flat-
ter my poor Larose.”
“Madamoise‘~le,_it is not flattery; the bean-
ty and splendor of your grounds far surpass
all my expectations. 011! how dream-like
my life would be passed in this lovely spot 1
With a congenial companion to share its
sweets, this place would be a paradise on
earth.”
“What do you mean. bya congenial com-
panion '2" Emilie asked.
“One whoipossesses an appreciating love
of nature; one who finds a greater delight
in books than in balls,one who prefers medi-
tation and'study to the frivolties of modern
society. "
“You say nothing of beauty—is that not
a requisite i” demanded Emilie, who saw the
serpent lurking beneath his lion 6 'ylanguagc
“Give me the lasting beauties of the mind,
and I care not for the fading beauties of the
face," cried Dashington.
Soon after this the interview terminated,
and Sir Charles rose to depart. Emilie
_told him he should hear from her in a week.
“I shall expect your communication with
impatience," said Dashington, bowing him-
self from the ro‘om.
As he crossed the long gallery to reach his
tone to be overheard by a servant who had
kept close behind him.
“Whats monster! But for the gold that
gilds her hideous face I never could have
gone through 'that interview. But her man-
ners are easy and elegant, and her voice—
how can such sweet sounds proceed from
such repulsive lips.
These remarks were duly reported to Em-
ilie Lamont and they were not likely to ad-
vance Sir Charles Dashington’s suit. Inqui-
ries were instituted about hishab't aid prot-
pccts, and nothing very favorable to that
gentleman was elicited. The consequence
was, that one evening as Dashington was
preparing to go to one of his accustomed
haunts of vice, the following note was plac-
ed in his hand :
“Mademoiselle Emilie Lamont pegs leave
to say to Sir Charles Dashington that he
need not take the trouble to repeat his visit
to Larose."
This unexpected termination of his suit
destroyed all Dashiuglous’s hopes of retriev-
ing his position, and to avoid the wrath that
was to come; from tailor’ s, shoemakers and
other creditors, he fled from Paris to Baden
man.
mont coutinuedtoattract many persons to
Lemma. They all admired the beautiful
grounds and magnificent reception room,
face drove them away in disgust.
At last Victor St. Aubyn, a poor but ac-
Victor advanced with instituting steps to
the magnificent porch, where he was mctlby
a servant, who politely invited him to walk
into the house. Entering the 331001;, the
poor young man was amazed at the splendid
display. He began to repent of his presump-
tiou' 1u daring to offer himself as suitor to
the possessor of so much wealth; he dread-
ed to meet the Lady of Larore, and 1.11101!-
sand fimes he wished himself bro...” in his
poor chamber.
While occupied with the thought, the door
opened and Emiliie Lamont entered. Vic-
tor arose and bowed as she came forward, '
without raising his eyes to her face. With
a voice as sweet as angel’s when welcoming
souls to Elysian bliss, she addressed him,
and on the subject which is always interest-
to every man—himself.
“May I ask whether you,are Monsieur Bt.
Aubyn the poet 1’"
“I do not know, Mademoiselle, whether I
deserve the name of poet, but I plead guilty
of publishing a volume of verse 11 year ago,
which brought but little fame and loss mon-
ey."
“Your beautiful book should have brought
you both." '
“Am I to understand that Mademoiselle
Lamont has read my little back i”
“I have read and admired it over and over
again, and if all the world wore like me,
your book would have made you famous."
“if all the world were like you, this world
would be a paradise,” cried Victor, overjoy-
ed at hearing his book praised.
“Look at me, Monsieur 8t. Aubyn 1 is par-
adise composed of such 1‘”
Victor raised his eyes to her face-Those
libs were indeed hideous, but fronthem had
come words of praise and encouragement to
cheer him onward in his cfi'ort to reach
Fame’s proud temple. Those checks were
thin and yellow, but perhaps they had glow-
ed with enthusiasm over his poetry.
“If you will excuse me. ~ Mademoiselle, I
will say that the honris are not quite so
plain—’
“Don't mince matters, Monsieur St. Au-
byn—my glass tells the truth, and I want
you to do likewise.”
“But, Mademoiselle, it is not customary
for gentlemen to speak so plainly to ladies
about their'personal appearance.”
“Monsieur Victor St. Aubyn; I want you
to understand once for all that Emilio La-
mont is not like other women. Therefore
do not hesitate to say what you think of
me 11
“Well, then, if you insist upon it, I can on-
ly say that you are bitter ugly." ‘
“Bitter ugly ! I like that, indeed; that is
quite refreshing—bitter ugly—very good i"
cried Emilie, with a laugh sweet and musi-
cal as a silver hell.
“I am glad my plain language has not of-
fended you. It is certainly venturing upon
rather dangerous ground to tell a woman
she is ugly. ”
“You must remember that 1 am not like
other women.”
Emilie rang the bell and. ordered a servant
to have everything. arranged in the blue
room.
“You have a harp, Mademoiselle ; do you
play and sing f” naked Victor, drawing her
attention to a superb instrument in one cor-
ner of the room. '
“Sometimes to while away a wry hour."
“Will you favor me with some music," he
asked, handing her the harp.
“With pleasure,” said Emilie, lightly
touching the strings, and eliciting strains
that might have come item the inspired fin-V
gers of St. Cecelia, “What shall I sing 1”
“Your favorite; I am sure what pleases
you will plcasemc. "
“Thank you. Listen." And Emilie sang
one of his own little songs, with a voice
sweetly pathetic. ""
Victor was deeply affected, and whca'dhs
last sad notes had dicdaway, he said, “Made
emoiselle, I thank you for your sweet kind-
nessin singing that and calling it your fsv- .
orite."
Ashe spoke, a door at the lower end of'
the room glided back, displaying an inner
complished youth ventured to advance his
claims. He was of an old, respectable fam-
ily, which had become impoverished during
the stormy days of the French Revolution.
At twenty Victor went to Paris to begin the
battle of life. Like Alexander the Great,
when he set out to conquer the world, he
took nothing but hepe; the Grecian hero
depended for success on his sword—Victor
relied on his pen. He was a graceful and
elegant writer; but poor and friendless, his
success was not equal to his genius; he was
obliged to write for bread not fame. Victor
was not discouraged by his want of success.
He was persuaded. that the dark clouds that
hovered over him would at last be dispelled
and that theworld would acknowledge his
merit. Young St.Aubyn’s dreary existence
was. sometimes brightened by delightful
dreams. . In these exquisite moments his
disappointment was forgotten and his cheer-
ful chamber was changed as by magic. He
saw before him galleries of light and airy
beauty filled with lovely women, who
crowned him with amaranthine wreaths as
he approached—One morning while Victor
was dreaming a gorgeous-dream like this,the
ethereal fabric was suddenly demolished by
a gentleman coming in and exclaiming,
“Victor, would you like to exchange this
poor room for a charming retreat near Paris
a beautiful villa in the midst of shadowy
groves and blooming gardens 2"
“Certainly, a most desirable exchange, my
_dear Eugene! But how 13 it to be done 1'"
“By marrying Emilie Lamont. ”
“And pray who 13 EmilieLamont. '"
“Who 15 Emilie Lamont ? why, all Paris
is ringing with her name.”
“The sound has not ascended so high as
my reign. Tell me about her.” '
“Emilie Lamont, better known as the La-
dy of Larose, has announced that she will
accept the addresses of any gentleman whof
pleases herand bestow upon him her heal-t,S
and fortune, if no Can be satisfied with an in-!
Many have visited
her, but only one gentleman as yet has mus-é
tered up sufficient courage to pop the ques-g
ion. "
“Really, Eugene, this' is a most singular
and interesting affair. I am tempted to vis-
it the Lady of Larose merely out of curiosi-
y I!
“Do so, Victor: perhaps something may
come of it. Good bye. ”
A few days after this conve rsution, Vic-0r
put on the best suit of denies that his scan—
iy wardrobe contained, and proceeded to vis-
it the Lady of Larose. He did not go at
once to the house,- but ‘wanderod about the

he came to a grotto, whose cool recesses
wooed him to enter. In another place he
saw a fountain spalkliug in the sunlight.

was adorned withspavllion, so delicately

apartment.
“Monsieur," said Made-owls lament,
as they sat down to a tempting array of deli—

rose can produce. All the fruit on the table
comes from my garden."
“They are like everything else here -dc-

“You peels are like that ctherial bird, the
bums, which never: touches the grand ;
you are always flying in the air, and dislike

“Had I the wings of an angel! could not

welcome than that which you have to bind-
