ODE T0 NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

Some stanzas from Lord' Byron’s famous Ode to
Napoleon Bonaparte will be read with peculiar in-
terest, from the marvellous accuracy with which they
apply to the circumstances of Napoleon III: .

"I‘is done—but yesierday a king!

And armed with kings to strive;
And now thou art a} nameless thing!

Who strewed our earth with hostile bones,

And can he thus survive ? , '

Nor man nor fiend-hath fallen so far.

The triumph and the vanity,
The rupture of the strife——
The earthquake voice of Victory,
To thee the breath of life.

Which seemed made but to obey.
Whercwith renown was rife- .
, All quell'dl—Dark spirit! what must be
The madness of thy memory!

The desolator desolate!
The victor overthrown! -

That with such change can calmly Cope ?
Or dread of death alone '1

To die a prince- or live aslave—

Thy choice is most ignobly brave!

Alone—how Iook’d be round? '

An equal deed has done at length,
And darker fate hast found;
He fell, the forest prowlcr’s prey;
But than must eat thy heart away!

Nor written thus in vain-

Thy triumphs tell of fame no more;
Or deepen every stain;

have seen him at breakfast. A natural irri-
tability'in Mr. Fiel’s disposition had been al-
most entirely cured by little soothing com-
forts and tit-bits. He was a solicitor, with
an office in London and a semi-detached vil-
la in the suburbs, who had to leave the lat-
ter at tho reach the former by 10 every
morning. This necessitated breakfast at 8,
but even at that early hour Mrs. Fiel saw to
every detail herself.

It would have shaken a very confirmed
bachelor to have seen her table one spring
morning a few‘ years ago.4the linen was so
white and the tea so black, the 'Watercress-

tained frizzled slices of ham or bacon, deli-
cate and curled, a sausage, a kidney, or the
savory thigh of a chicken. May such be

A hale, neat man, with sharp gray eyes,
and a very good opinion of himself, entered
and looked at his letters, selecting and open-
ing one at once.

“Well, Martha,” said he, “the Chipehow
has arrived at last.” . '

“You don’t say so! Then Mr; Lobyear
will be here presently. Will he come to
stay with us, do y0u thifik ?”'

“I don’t know. You had better have a.
bed ready; though I expect he has not come
to England with theidea of shutting himself

from the Marble Arch. Still, as everything
will be strange to him at first, he may ac—
cept-myinvitation for a night or two.”

“This Mr. Thomas Lobyear is rich is he
not?” . ‘
“Will be, I suppose. At present, he prob-

en me veryliberal orders, absurdly liberal

among savages, the old man must have lost
all idea. of the value of- money. However,
there is plenty of it accumulating, and it
does not matter to me." . '7

“Don’t you think,” said Mrs. Fiel, “it
might be well to have Sarah home ?’,

Sarah, the only child of the Fiels, was ata
finishing school at Clifton, but she was sev-
enteen and a woman. , . , _.

“ Ah, ah, ah i” laughed the lawyer, -“ at
your match-making, old lady? From what

tempts. Besides which, it would be some-
thing like a breach of trust; 0.1d Lobyear
has evidently got other views for his son
than marrying him at present—at any rate
to an English woman." _

“Why, he would never go and match him
with a heathen, with a ring through her
nose like a pig l” '

“I don't know that,” replied Mr. Fiel,
laughing; “if he could discover a new weed
or a fresh variety of black beetle by it he
certainly would.” -

It was of good augury for Mrs. Fiel when
her husband laughed, and a better when he
replied to her observations, instead of look:
ing deaf and grunting, which be generally
did if she alluded to his clients or their busi-
ness; for it showed he was willing to be
pumped, and Mrs. Ficl’s thirst 'for informa-
tion was great, though it was rarely slaked.
In the'prescnt instance, however, the law-
ycr thought he might require feminine aid
in the task which he had undertaken, and
was not therefore unwilling to admit his
wife into his confidence. -.

“All!” said he, “that was a curious idea
for a rich man, tobanish himself complete-
ly, and give up civilized life, for the sake of
studying botany and butterflies in J apan.
For a poor man, indeed, it would be inexpli-
cable if he expected to make something by
it in the end; bbt from what you say, Mr.
Lobyear has more money than he knows
what to do with as it is.”

“Yes, he was well off originally and got a
good property through his wife, besides.”

“Ahlpoorman; I dare say grief for her
death gave hiui a craze."

“Fudge l” exclaimed Mr. Fiel, somewhat
rudely; “he was glad enough to be free to
go hunting on his favorite hobby. If she
had lived another year, it is my opinion that
he would have bolted and left her."

“Ah, well,” said Mrs. Fiel, “it is a for-tn.
hate thing for him, or at any rate for this
son, that be fixed on so good a man of busi-
ness as yourself to look after his interests.”

“Well,” replied her husband, complacent-
ly, “considering that the bulk of'liis proper--
ty is in houses situated in a rapidly improv-
ing neighborhood, and the tenants are up to

raised, perhaps an agenj who was not sharp
might miss an advantage here and there.
For instance, there was an application for
the renewal of a lease the other day, and:I
discovered that the tenant, who had been
paying forty pounds a year had underlet it
for the last three years at a hundred and
ten.”

“Lori how sharp you are l” --

“Well, I was not born in Yorkshire for
nothing. I do not know of more than one
person who ever regularly took me in, that
young rascal, Tom Scott, who robbed me
five years ago.”

“Ahl that was very shocking,” said the

1 good wife, soothingly; but then, you know,

he was brought up in your own office.”

Why, Martha i do you suppose, then, that
he learned dishonesty there? I never ex-
pected an cpigram of that sort from your
mouth. I would have you to know that I
could put at least a couple of thousand a
year in my pocket from this Lobycar prop,
erty alone, without a chance of detection, if
I choose to be dishonorable.”

“I am sure I never meant to call you an
cpigram, or any other name,” cried Mrs.
Fiel, astonished at this outbeak. I only
meant that “a breach of trust was easy for
that Scott, because he had been under you
for some time, and probably had had op-
portnnities.” '

”Oh, that is different," said her husband,
cracking an egg. It was not a tender con-
science which made Mr. Fiel so touch y—for
though priding himself upon keen shrewd-
ness,’ he was perfectly upright and trust-
worthy—but the thought of Tom Scott.

yourself to be cleverer“ than the rest of the.
world, that if you are ever taken in, it ran—
kles. So the remembrance of Tom Scott al-
ways irritated him. Hc,had - taken a fancy
to the sharp lad and put him in the office,
where he favored, encouraged and trusted
him more and more every year; and the re-
sult had been a cunning bitIol‘roguery, and
flight. I
caught the scoundrel, who was sentenced to
two years imprisonment. Had Tom Scott '
gotoif with impunity, his heart would have
been near breaking.

“I suppose this young gentleman was
quite a lad when his father went to foreign
parts,” said Mrs. Fiel, returning to the
pump handle. ,

“As he is not of age yet, I suppose he
must have been," repliedher husband, ’con-
tinuing to flow. '

“Was be educated in England before he
went out to his father ‘3’”

“I don’t know. Mr. Lobyear never men-
tioned him before. I have written regular-
ly, to advise him how his affairs stood, and
he has briefly acknowledged my letters, de-
claring himself satisfied, telling me to do
what I thought best, saying where he wish-
ed his rcmmittauccs sent, and now and then
requesting me to undertake certain commis-
sions for him connected with his pursuits,
but not at all with my business. However,
as he has always behaved very handsomely,
I have done my best to oblige him, and
mean to do so still, though this present job
is rather a delicate afi‘air, and quite out of
my line; what I call a regular bit of diplo-
macy.”
“Ah P) .
“Yes. It seems that the young man has
inherited his father’s fancy for a roving life,
though not his scientific tastes. He had
been living in Romeo for some years, sail-
ing about with expeditions against - the pi-
rates, and'I don’t know what all. Mr. Lob-
year, senior, went from China to Japan a
year and a half ago, and his son joined him
at Houg Kong, where he intimated a desire
to go to England for awhile and have a
spell of comfortable living. The father was
willing enough to let him do so, and gave
him a letter of credit to me, and he started
in one of the tea sailing ships. But after he
had sailed, Mr. Lobyear, senior, received in-
formation fr'om a friend that his son’s prin-
cipal reason for desiring to visit England
was the hope that he would meet with an
adventuress whose acquaintance he had
made in Calcutta, and whom, in the ardor
of a first love, he desired to marry. The la-
dy had other views at the time, but had
since smiled by letter on his suit; and she
is a most undesirable wife for him. This
news having come to me by steamer, has, of
course, long preceded the fellow’s actual ar-
rival; and my mission is to prevent the
marriage. This Can be done with compara-
tive case whilche is a minor. But he will
come of age'in eight months, and it would
be poor success to delay matters for that
time. I hope to break it off altogether.”
“Exactly. And don’t you think if he
wercthrown into the society of an innocent,
accomplished and attractive girl, his infatu-
ation for this creature would be sooner got
over ‘1’” ‘ ‘

“Well, ivell; send for Sarah if you like;

she would be leaving anyhow at the end of

the quarter. Only don’t put her up to the
thought that this youngster is a very great
catch, for his father may have other chil-'
dren, and older ones for alight I know. I
am not by any means sure that it’s a good
thing, Martha.” - V

As Mr. Fiel uttered these last words he
looked at his watch, and then took a cigar
out of his case, Mrs. Fiel brushed his hat
and brought it to him,together with a light,

something like a wife I And ere a man

had devoured him up.

It is one thing for a sailing ship to be tel-
egraphed, and another for it to arrive in
port. A heavy gale tantalized the crew and
passengers of the Chipehow, and it was a
week before Mr. Fiel and his client’s son
met, by which time the accomplished Sarah
was safely established under the paternal
roof. Sarah was a good girl enough, but
common-place, and not beautiful; a pellet
hardly calculator] to drive out another very
firmly fixed in the pop-gun heart of a lover.

However, the designing mother and un-
wilting,r daughter had a fair chance, for young,
Lobyear accepted the offer of hospitality
made him by Mr. Fiel, and established him-
self iu their house until he could look about
him. Travel in hot climates had matured
the young man, whom you would haue tak-
en for five and twenty. It had likewise
tanned him; and his face and hands were
so dark, that Mrs. Fiel was induced to make
enquiries about the nationality of his moth-
er: but as her husband had never known
anything about Mr. Lobycar before he put
his affairs in his hands, on going out to the
East, and was even ignorant, until quite re-
cently, of the very existence of this son, she
could not get much satisfactory information
out of him. So she concluded that Mr.
Lobycar senior-’5 oriental tastes were not
confined to the fauna and flora; and the
deep blackness of the young man’s hair, cyc-
brows, and long, drooping, silky moustache
certainly tended to confirm her tlrcory. His
manners were not very good. There 'was
an evident restraint about him; and if in an
unguarded moment he gave nature her head
he became boisterous and vulgar. He was
very careful, however, and only broke out
once or twice, recovering himself almost im-
mediately. He. seemed to find that the safest
plan was to spoon Sarah, and devoted him-
self to her so assiduously the first evening,

that Mr. Fiel listened to his wife’s statement
ofpros and cons with seriousness that night.

“I have no doubt his father means well
by him at present,” said he, “or he would
hardly show so much anxiety about his con-
tracting an unfavorable marriage, as to
give me almost carte blanche in the cost of

all sorts of dodges to avoid having their rent

There is this disadvantage in reckoning .

There was one consolation: he had '

handsome a sum as sixty pounds a month
for expenses, if he intended to leave him
pcunilcs; at his death. But this is all con-
jecture.” ' ‘

“But rather strong, surely, dear: and he
is certainly smitten with Sarah,” said Mrs.
Fiel.

“Don’t you be too sure of that. Very like-
ly he carries on Willi everything in a petti-
coat, or out of one, in those Borneo parts,
that he meets; or it may be that he is throw-
ing dust in my eyes, to cover his intrigue
with this old Calcutta fricnc .”

Mr. Fiel felt it so important to prevent the
young man giving him the slip, that he left
his other business to the clerks, and took
him the office of showman, whereby he
made acquainancc with many London sights
that he had never seen before. All of which
very much interested the young man, who
nevertheless owned that, on the whole, he
preferred Calcutta. Mention of that city
gave the lawyer an opening; 110 inquired if
there was much society there; pleasant so-
ciety? And cventuallyIMr. Lobyear the son,
who of course could not be expected to know
of his father’s discovery and communica-
tion to his lawyer, took his Cicerone into his
confidence, He adored the most charming,
innocent, persecuted saint that ever excited
the jealousy oi'a spiteful coterie. Her name
was Montacutc, and she was a widow with-
out' inc‘ninbrances. She had been residing
in a quiet part of the Isle of Wight, but was
now on her way to London; and he had rc-
ccivcd a letter that very morning directing
him where to find her, so he would not tres-
pass on Mr. Ficl’s hospitalin after that day.
Whereabouts was Duke street, Jermyn st. ?
The complacent Mr. Fiel conducted him to

‘ that neighborhood, and, also, in reply to fur-

ther questions, gave him an outline ofthe
steps it was necessary to take before a gen
tleman and lady inclined that way could be
joined together in holy matrimony.

"Of course you are of age ‘2” Ire threw in

at the end.

“I believe my father would say I was some
months short of it,"..replied the youth carc-
lessly; but really his evidence is so little to
be trusted in. any matter not Connected
with plants or insects, that I mean to give
myself the benefit of the doubt. That’s good
law, eh ?” ' . . '

Mr.- Fiel proposed a'bachelor’s dinner at
his club that day,.and entertained his guest
all the ' evening with caustic observations
upon widows, and the dangers to which
young men were exposed from beautiful si-
rens whose antecedents would not bear a
strict examination, illustrated with numer-
ous apposite anecdotes which the young
man seemed to enjoy heartily. But he
would not apply them to his own case; so
that atlast the lawyer was forced to be more
explicit and with much apology asked if
the young man knew who the late Mr. Mon-
tucute was, and under. what circumstances
the fair widow came to be alone and unpro-
tected in Calcutta? But the ardent lover
would not listen to a'hint reflecting on the

'object of his affections, and got so excited

and angry, that Mr. Fiel dropped the subject
at once. Where was the use of talking sense
to a man who declared that if all the world
swore to anything which his mistress dc-
nied, he should take her word in preference
to the united oath? To expose his game by
showing him the paternal letter empower-
ing him to forbid the marriage, would have

been stupid indeed at present: that must be

kept as the very last resoursc‘ when, com-
bined with considerations of probable disin-
hcritancc it'niight have an effect. What ef-
fect ‘2 the lawyer asked himselt‘unflinching-
Iy when quiet that night. Probably ofnia-
king young Lobyear disscmble for a time,
and marry his widow elsewhere, unknown
to the lawyer. And if the agent were de-
ceived the bridegroom might well hope to
conceal the matter from his butterfly-hunt-
ing father; at all events for a time. Young
people especially when in love, never look
forward but have confidence in things turn-
ing up. Mr. Fiel owned with inward 'cha—
grin that he was at fault. .
Suddenly auridea flashed upon him like
an inspiration. Why not attack the woman
—‘-he had her address? _
“Of course,” he said aloud, turning his
head on the pillow.
“What? my dear,” responded Mrs. Fiel.
“Nothing,” and he went to sleep.
Next morning Mr. Lobyear left Mr. Fiel’s

house, arid-went to a hotel in J crmyn street.

Mr. Fiel possessed a very smart office boy.
This lad had already seen young Lobyear;
the house in Duke street was now pointed
out to him, and he was directed to watch
it, and let his master know when Mr. Lob-
ycar left it. = -

So Mr. Fiel waited in his club which ivas
close by, and Billy Daw loafed within sight
of Duke street. Bill was good at Ioafiug ;he
gleamed amuscmé'nt and instruction from
the windows of a newspaper and curricu-
ture shop ; studied natural history at a fish-
monger’s; set two boys to fighting; exas-
perated a drunken man; procured “cuts be-
hind” for several volunteers who were ri

' ding without paying their fare—all without

losing sight of the door he was to watch.
His report at the end of the day was, that
Mr. Lobyear had left his hotel and gone to
a house in Duke street at eleven :1. m. At
half past one a servant girl had come out
'with an empty dish and returned in ten
minutes with oysters. At six o’clock Mr.
Lobycar had at last come out, accompanied
by a lady, and they walked together arm in
arm, to St. James’ Hall.

“Never mind,” said Mr. Fiel ; “ he can’t
stick so c‘nse as that to her for long, how-
ever dr‘chrate his condition may be. Try
again to-morrow.”

True enough at twelve o’clock on the fol-
lowing day, Billy Daw summoned his mas.
tcr from the club, and informed him that
Mr. Lobycai' had gone out for some time,
and the lady was alone. Asked how he
knew that his absence was not for a few
minutes only; he replied that the gentle-
man had lit up his baccy directly hcgot out-

‘side the door.

Mr. Fiel wasted no time in further ques-
tioning, but hastened to the house in Duke
street, knocked and rang, and inquired for
Mrs. Montacute. Yes, the servant girl said
she lodged there, and ' she was at home-
What name? ‘ And the lawyer was ushered
into the front drawing-room.

A lady with a creamy complexion and
golden, hair, elegantly dressed in lralfmourn-
ing, closed the novel she had been reading,
and rose fr0m her lounging chair to receive
him. Pretty, thought the visitor, decidedly
pretty; but at least ten years older than he
IS"‘You do not know me, Madam, or the ob-
ject of my visit,” be said, “so I had better
tell you. at once, that my name ts Fiel, and
the legal adviser of Mr. Lobycar, the father
of the young gentleman who aspires, I be-
lieve, to the honor of your hanc .”

Mrs. Montacutc bowed and requested him

to be - seated. .
“I hope you will pardon me,” continued

Mr. Fiel, dropping into a chair which faced
the lady, and looking as concilatory as Ire
could, “if what I have to say should prove
in ' anyway disagreeable ; I , am but the
mouth-piece of my client, you know. Mr.
Lobyear, senior, has not heard from his son
but through other sources, of his' projected
marriage, and I regret to say that he has
conveyed to me his disapproval.”

“Oh, sir i'.’

“His very decided disapproval. He has
never had the honor and pleasure of seeing
you, Madam, or herould probabiy view the
matter in a very different light, and hesitate

 

before depriving his only child of the felici—

yincrit, the more virulent the envy.”

she relapsed into silence and meditation. At

Hong Kong, and he was then about to re-
tirru to Japan ; so that there are difficulties
in the way ofa personal interview.”

“Really, bin—Mr. Fiel,” said the widow,
glancing at the card which had been given
her, “I was certainly aware til it Mr. Lob-
ycar had a father very devoted to various
branches of natural history, who, it
alive, was supposed to be somewhere in
Japan ; but that he takes any notice
of his son’s affairs or professes to exercise
any authority over him, is quite a new idea
to me.” ,

“To me, also, Madam; and I believe it to
be a very unusual proceeding on his part,
But the marriage is an unexccptionully im-
portant thing, as his son is under age”—

“Under age 2 Thomas under ago! Im-
possible i” cried the widow.

“Itis a fact, Madam; but were it other-
wise, it would be of no importance, since
Mr. Lobycar is entirely dependent on his
father, who is determined to discontinue his
allowance, and cut him out of his will, if
he marries without his consent and approv-
a1.”

' Mrs. Montacute remained in pensive con-
templation of a very pretty foot for some lit-
tle time before she replied : “ Excuse me
for being over-cautious, Mr. FiCl; but you
are an utter stranger, you know, and-I
should like to see the letter from Mr. Lob-
year’s father, if you have it about you.”

“Certainly, Madam,” replied the lawyer,
“a very natural and proper precaulion on
your part. It mightbe a rival prompted by
motives of jealousy. Here is the letter.
which, however, I fear may give you pain.
Evil tongues,” he continued, as the widow
took the document and ran her eyes rapidly
over it—“evil tongues have evidently tra-
duccd you. Alas! the best and fairest can-
not escape slander. Indeed, the greater the

l.

.‘ “Evidently genuine, thank you,” said the
widow, rclurning the letter with extraordin-
ary composure, considering how she was
treated in it, and then once fixing her gaze
upon her boot, which she fi'dgcted about,

length she raised her eyes slowly to the
lawyer’s, and looked at him quietly, but
very fixedly, saying: "Mr. Fiel, you have
come to me treating this affair asa pure
matter of business, and therefore I will not
speak to you of my affections ; it would pro-
long this interview, and probably you would
not understand me. I will speak of the
marriage engagement between myself and
Mr. Thomas Loliyear, then, precisely as if it
were a more commercial transaction. In or—
der to fulfill my part, I have 'left India,
where I had a home, and have come to Eng-
land to live on my meager pension. For
all his threats, I consider it very unlikely
that Mr. Lobyear will really disinlierit his
only child.” _

“Pardon my interrupting you, Madam ;
nothing is more probable. The ardor with
which he pursues his favorite science
amounts to mania, andI fear he would be
hardly sorry for an excuse to devote his en-
tire fortune to the building and foundation
of a museum.” .

“There is a certain force in whatyou say”
replied the widow, calmly; “and I do not
conceal from myself that it would be a very
great misfortune indeed for Lush of us ier.
Lobyear were to be deprived of his income
upon our marriage. Still, it would be worse
for mete break it off, and remain here for
from my friends, poonilcss.

“Nay, Madam, not pcnnilcss; some coni-
pcusation would be due.”

Lugete Vencres Capide‘ncsqua—if they didn’t
come presently to fair up and down bar-
gaining. The matter was finally settled
thus: Mrs. Montacutc was to start for New
York by the next mail, Mr. Fiel taking and
paying for her passage; she was to write a
farewell letter to young Lobyear, breaking
the match, and keeping silent about where
she was going to. Mr. Fiel was to accom-
pany h’ér on board the ship, and then place
in her hands the sum of one thousand
pounds.

When this treaty, with “no trust” for its
basis, was concluded, Mr. Fiel took his de-
parture; and as he stepped in the street,
Jack Horner alone could appreciarc his sen-
sations. Never had so delicate a' case been
so skilfully handled. Three days afterward
Mr. Fiel escorted the fair widow t0 Liver-
pool; accompanied hcr on board the Amer-
ican Steamer; stayed with her until the last
moment, gave her the thousand pounds, and
returned to the bosom of his family, having
himself sealed and posted a most satisfacto-
ry letterof farewell to poor young Lobycar,
which was put into his hands unfastencd,
that he might assure "himself that its con-
tents were according to treaty.

Next day the deserted lover came to him
in a fury—storming, upbi'aiding, beseeching
him to tell him-where his charmer had fled
to; threatening murder and suicide when
the lawyer remained obclurate. Finally be
rushed away, declaring he would never
speak to him again.

“Yes you will when you want money,”
said Mr. Fiel, as the other banged the door
behind him.

He was right. In less than a fortnight
young Lobycar returned, pale, calm, and
haughty, and coldly intimated that he was
about to return to the East, and required
funds. After some discussion about neces-
sary expenses, passage money, outfit, what
his father usually allowed him, etc., Mr.
IFiel let him have five hundred pounds and
saw him depart with infinite relief—for now
the edifice of his diplomacy was crowned.
Commissioned to separate a young couple,
he had dispatched one to the cast, and the
other to the west. What success could be
more complete? He had always estimated
his own astuteness very highly, but now he
felt as if he should ”strike the stars with his
sublime top,” as a school boy friend of ours
once translated a familiar line of Horace.
This state of extreme selfisatisfaciion lasted
some months, during which he looked for-
ward to the letter of thanks and admiring
approval which he expected from Mr. Lob.
year the father.

It came a. mail sooner than he expected.
One morning on enteringlris oflice he found
two foreign letters awaiting him—one from
an unknown correspondent, the other in the
familiar handwriting of his client in Japan.
He opened this letter eagerly and prepared
for praise. ’

_Dear Sir: I can’t make out the meaning
of all this rigmarolc about a son and :1 mar-
riage. 1 had a son once, a lieutenant in the
——th regiment, but the. poor boy fell a. vie-
tim to the climate of China ten years ago,
You refer me to a letter of mine, dated from
Hong Kong, and it is true I was there about
the time you mention, but certainly I never
wrote to you during my stay. If you are in
your senses you have been grossly imposed
upon by some rogue or another. I wish you
would have the goodness to call upon Pin-
um of the British Museum, and tell him, c‘rc.
——’I"lrc rest all about bugs and beetles.

Mr. Fiel staggered to his desk, look out
the letter he had last received, and compar-
ed it with this present one; the imitation of"
the handwriting was cunningly executed,
but a palpable forgery. Had Ire entertained
the ghost ofa suspicion at the lime, he could
not have mistaken it.

It was a good hour before be partially rc-
covered from the’ effects of this blow, and
then, in a bewildered, mechanical sort of a
way, he opened the second foreign letter. It
was dated from New York and ran thus:

his hands, and in atone of agony which
might have melted the heart of his bitterest ‘
enemy, exclaimed: “Done l”

A RAILROAD TO THE (Moons—We have

recently been on an expedition to the clouds
taking railroad direct to that misty region.
But, as is usually the case when we attain
to extraordinary results by any human art
oriuventiou, our ambition isonly excited
to reach further, or mount higher. iV‘e are
now Iwaiiing for some one to conslrnct :r
milroadio tlreiinoou, and when such a line
ofcomuiunicalion is opened we shall cnmi '

been above-the clouds by rail, and rem-rm
that altitude by direct, alin'). t perpendicular
ascent, is prepared 10' go any direction
where audacious man may placeliis iron
bars and blow his steam whislle. '
The railway from the base to the summit
of Mount Washington in New Hampshire
is a marvel of modern engineering in skill
and daring. Tire road is constructed up the
face of the huge rock, the grade being much
of the way “very heavy,” or equal to one as-
cool in three. This gives an upward incli-
nation about equivalent to the roofs of our
Gothic edifices. and when the rengiu’e is up
the incline and stationary, itseems at a lit-
tle distance to be‘ciinging to the rock in a
most fearfulposilion. We may well imag-
ine it to be some strange live animal, which
has crawled up to a dangerous point on the
cliff, and is there fixed, not daring to go for-
ward or backward, for four of a tumble.
The track is laid to the very summit of the
mountain, and the train enters ‘ and
often passes above the clouds, which usual—
ly rest upon the loftypcak.
This railway is a great steam elevator of
peculiar or novelcnnslruelion, and it accom-
plishes an end which has never been" reach-
ed before in the history of engineering. It
requires about one and a half hours to go
up, including three steps to “take in water.”
It is estimated that the train would come
down in three minute’s if‘left to itself. W'c
hope it will never be “left to itself,” and
that its trucks and cogs will never “ play
false” when they are pressed upon by a hu-
man freight. A train of passengers left to
go down that fearful incline would’be in-
stantly torn or crushed to a jelly. But we
are asked. Is it srg“c?I “’8' have perhaps
given :1 sufisfiictory practical expression of
our views Upon this point, by placing our-
self and family in charge of the engineer,
and making the ascent. If we were asked
if we would nizikea seeond excursion, some
hesitation would be manifested before reply-
ing, yes; and yet abundant and efficient
safeguards are provided 'against'accident,
and we do not well see how one can occur.

A BRAVE GIRL—Our heroine lived in
Bartlett,New-Hampshire, and was a de-
scendent of the old Crawford‘s. Her Father

was 0. Crawford, and followed the profes-

sion of guide among the mountain's. *Hcr
name was Bessie, and she was the only
daughter remaining at home—a dark-eyed
brown-haired girl, of slight but compact
frame, just entering her nineteenth year.
Her motherrlra'd'been dead several years,
and upon herdevcloped the whole care of
.thc househbld. ’

One deviate in the summer, Mr. Craw-
ibrdwith a party of travelers, was away to
the head waters of one of the, many moun-
tain streams that empty into the Saco,‘ and
Bessie was left alone. Even the (logs had
all gone with the pleasure seekers. Near
the middle of the afternoon, while the girl
was sitting by an open window in the front
room, engaged in sewing, a man came up
the road and asked her if she would give
him a drink of water. Bessie had seen
this man before, and had never liked his
looks. He was a. stout, broad-shouldered,
ill favored fellow; and the bits of moss and
spikes of the pines indicated that he had
slept in the woods; , -

But Bessicdid not hesitate. ' She laid aside
her work and went to get the water. When
she came back the man had entered the
She did notlikc this for she was sure
he had come in at the window; but she
handed him the dipper without remark.—
The man drank and then set the dipper
down upon the table. Then he turned upon
the girl and drew a broad-bladed knife from
his pocket.

“Look ye, my young lady," said he, “I
know there is money in this house;_:and I
knew that you are alone. Show where the
money is! Ifyou don’t I shall kill you, and
their limit it up myself I I’m in earnest and
there’s no time to waste. Don’t make any
fuss, for if yo: do you’ll feel this knife'very
quick.”

Bessic‘shrank back and looked into the
man’s face, and she 'could see that he meant
just what he saith '

“If I show you where the money is, will.
you promise not to do me harm ?”

“Show me honest and I won’t harm you."
"Then come with me. But you will, take
only the money—you won’t take my father’s
papers ?”

Bessie led the way to a small bed-room on
the ground floor, where there was an old
mahogany bureau, the upper drawer of which
she unlocked. The man when he saw this,
thinking doubtless that Crawford’s gold was
within his grasp, shut up his knife and put
it into his pocket. The girl opened the
drawer, and, quick as thought, drew forth a
large navy revolver—one ivith'whicli she
herself had killed a trapped bear—and
cooked it. ‘ l ,
“Villian l” she exclaimed, planting her
back against the wall, and aiming the weap-
on al his bosom, “many a wild beast have I
shot with this good pistol, and I’ll now shoot
you if you do not instantly leave this house !
I will give you not even a second ! Start or
I fire I .

Human looks could be read by the i'ufiirin
as wr—li as liyilre maiden, and he could read
very plainly in the firm-set mouth and in
the flashing eyes—but more clearly in the
steady hand which held the pistol—that she
would not only fire as she had promised.
but her aim would boa. snreand deadly
one. . - . . ‘ , .
And he backed out from the bed-room—
barflxcd into the sitliiig-rocm—tlrcn leaped
from the open window and disappeared.
Bessie kept her pistol by her side until her
father and g rests came'liome {and when she
had told her story, gem-churns made_‘ for the
radian, but he was not'found. "Our hero-
ine had so thoroughly frightened him. that
