. Wild Rose iii-Cape Cod.
Nearly all the roses in'Massachusetts are
born inJune, but Wild, the little daughter
of John Rose, was, bornviuDecember, and on
'CapeCod, too. ,
' Well. on Cape God, as I said, Wild Rose
was born; but that was twelve years ago, so ;
this__last_December,was_ celebrated her twelfth. ;

' Even in summer the wind blows so hard at
the ..Highland that it blows the wings of

ter it blows nobody knows how hard.
I am quite certain you ‘ never saw a home
like Wild Rese's home. It is hidden away in
the very bottom of a big hollow in the ‘sand,j
and is protected on all sides by a high fence
to keep the sand from covering it up. In the
first place the house had been built upon
spiles driven into the sand, but the fence was
afterwards added, and outside of the fence
was a barricade of seaweed. Over the stilts,
fence, seaweed and all was the fisherman’s
cabin, as snug and warm and comfortable as 5
anywhere on Cape God could be. Not far
away on the Atlantic cOast ' was a charity
house, not a poorhousewhere poor folks could
go andlive when they hadn’t anywhere else
to live,.but a'rude room, inclosed by a rude
outside, into which a poor shipwrecked mari~
ner might crawl and possibly .keepghimself
from freezing to death until help should arrive. .
Wood and matches and straw are supposed
to be kept in . every charity hosse along the
seat- . . ' .
Johnny Rose was two years younger than
his only sister Wild, but a ten-year-old lad
onCape God knows more of theses and ships
and fishing than the~wisest grown-up man in
the world who lives inland.
The Little Katie was Captain Rose’s fishing
schooner, and:tl_ie;Litt1c Katie was frozen fast
in the ice right in sight from the land up the
bank above the cabin. Two weeks passed
by andgstill' the ice heldthc fishing boats and
would not' let them go. , Stout -little' steam»
tugs went rasping away 'witl'i'firm bows and.
good intent at the ice day after day, in order
to break it-up and tow the boats out of dan-
ger, but the cold came down stronger than
ever and knit the ice cakes firmer and firmer.
Every day, Johnny, bundled up till he looked
like'I don't know what, made the toilsome
journey over to the Highland to look through
the glassat his father's schooner, and, 'every
night for two weeks,witl_l since on firefro'ini
the friction of _,tl_ie wind, he. came back with:
the good news, ." nosignal up yet." . _.
“,No signal "up yet"~ meant there was still
something left to eat and wood to burn on the- .
Little Katie, and hopes also Of getting. free
from the ice withOut sinking. '
NOW and then. ,ialneighbor came down into
the hollow and walked-in'without knocking.
at: the cabin door, toinquire how Mrs. Rose
was getting on, and tosay. yet again: “ Cape
Cod ‘ has seen harder. times than this,
Mrs. Rose. Keep up a’stout heart, and we’ll
have the fleet safe into Providence harbor be-
fore many _days." And then Mrs. Rose
would but on a bright look and say, in .hcr
cheery voice, “ Oh, I hope so," but in her
heart she feared all things, for did she not
know that every dwalling on Cape Cod had‘
its widow sooner or later ? ,
At last there came a day when Mrs. Rose
said that Wild might go to the light with
Johnny. to leer-lithe news. _5 _
The two children set 05 in high glee. The
sky was clear and- the windwas blowing from
the west. The Highland lighthouse was not
more than a mile 9w”: and What mild his!
pen to the children ? Nevertheless, Mrs. Rose
gave them many, commands. They were to
return as soon as'they- found out what was
the news from Little Katie, and, if it should
snow, they ‘ Were to go back or forward
whichever way. should be . the nearer, and if '
near the coast, they were to go to the charity
house in the bank, and wait there for rescue.
The wind helped them on their'way, and
to write the exact truih, blew so hard and so
fast, that it caine very near blowing them"
past the lighthouse, over the high bank into
the Ocean.
“ It’s a tough day, a tough day, even for
the Cape,” said the ligbtke'eper, when they
reached the lighthOuse, '“and the boats have
drifted, Johnny. For thelife of me I can’t
make out the Little , Katie." But Johnny
made her out without the slightest difficulty.
Of course he did! Does'not every Cape Cod
boy know his father's boat,?,More§than all,

All of which statements were quite true ;
and in five' minutes they were safe in the
cabin, and had told their news from the ice-
bound boats. “Nothin to eat, maybe, and
cold perhaps. Not sick, I hope,” said Mrs.
Rose; and then in a rather dismal way, she
set forth the table for their evening meal.
“ I should thing you’d feel ' gladder about
our getting home safe, mother," said Wild ;
“for just see how it snows.”
“I am" said Mrs. Wild ; “but I was think-
ing of some way'to help your father."
“ Do you think there is a way ?" asked
Wild. You know the boats can't get there,
and the ice isn't safe.”
“ If .I wasGod," said Johnny, “I’d fetch a

It was cold work flying kite on the, awful

a crowd of men to‘the spot. To their own"

Off in the wrong direction.
1 “ Run home laddies, and get warm clear

Johnny and Peter, about eleven of the clock,

When Johnny reached home 'he declared
that he wasn’t cold the least bit, nor hungry
the least atom, but he satin front of a' blaz-

It was her father just as much as Johnny’s,
and she cared as much about the Little.
Katie as any of them did. And so Wild,‘
bundled up until allresemblance to a twelve-
year-old girl was lost, set forth toiling through

distance in.the'rear,.Mrs.'1Wild followed on. ‘
It seemed toher, as she drew near the shore,
that half the; inhabitants of the, next village
were gathered to seethe flying of the kite.

5 “ Don't you see, there won't be anything

General Kaye's Childhood.
l'rom Howell's forthcoming Life of General Hayes
The mother of General Hayes was Sophia
Birchard, whose family had removed from
Connecticut to Vermont during the close of
the last century. She, too, has left a diary
in which we recognize many of the same
Ereligious traits so strongly marked in. her
lmother—in-law. The circumstances, of her
iwidowliood, in the strange new country
3(Mrs. Chloe Hayes, on her daughter’s de-
. Eparture for the west, speaks of her “leaving
her native land" as if “the Ohio,” so called in
Ithat day, were some unattainable foreign
fstrand), whither she had followed her hus-
band, no doubt tendedto deepen the and
happier hereditary instincts which in her
brother became a strong love of art; She and
iher husband united with the Presbyterian
church—the western Puritanism—and their
children were reared in that faith, but the
sole surviver of her family is not now a
member of the sect in question, nor of any
other, thougha regular attendant with his
wife at the Methodist services. Not many
years after her husband’s death their oldest
son was drowned, and their remained to the
widowed mother only two of her children,
.a brother and sister who grew up in a friend-
ship most tender and afiectionate onher part
and of passionate reverence and admiration
:on’ his. In a manuscript memoir of this
gadored sister, which must be sacred from
more than a passing allusion, General Hayes
recorded shortly after her death, the simple
facts of their early childhood in DelatVare.
It is'now a pretty town of some eight thous-
i and souls, seat'Of a Methodist college, and

gAt the early‘ period of which the memoir
treats, the land was yet new, though the
pioneer period had quite passed. '
' ‘Mrs. Hayes dwelt in a substantial brick
house in the village, and drew a large part of
‘ her income from a farm left her by her hus-
band in the neighborhood. Besides the
guardianship of her brother, she, had in the
care of her children and house the help of

But life ifu'that time and country was neces-
sarily veryisimplc {this early home was in'
no sense an" establishment; when the faith-
ful Ascnath married and set up for herself in
life, the mother and the sister did all the
work of the household themselves. The
greatest'joys of a happy childhood were
-' the visits the brother and sister made to the
‘farm inlthe sugar. seasbn, in cherry time, at
cider making, and when the walnuts and
hickory nut-s 'were ripe ; and its greatest
icross was the want of children’s books, with
fwliich the village lawyer’s family was sup-
plied. When their uncle Birchard began in
business hesatisfied their hearts’ desire for
this kind of literature, and books of a graver
and maturer sort seemed always to have
abounded with them; They read Hume and
Smollett’s English history together; the
sister: of twelve years interpreted Shakes-
pears to the brother of ten; they read the
poetry of Mr. Thomas Moore (then so much
finer and grander than now), and they paid
Sir Walter Scott the. tribute of dramatizing
together his “Lady of the Lake," and were
duly astonished and dismayed to learn after-
wards that they were not the sole inventors
Of the dramatization of poems-that even
their admired “Lady of the Lake” had long
been upon the stage. The influence of an
elder sister upon a generous and manly boy
is always very great, and it is largely to this
éister's unfailinginstincts and ardent enthusi-
ams for books that her brother owes his life-

A Swiss Family.
Among the immigrant passengers by the
steamship Leipzig on Saturday, was a Swiss
family of seventeen persons, which would
seem to possess resources enough to populate
a Western State with far less hardship than
the famous “Swiss Family. Robinson” exper-
ienced when cast away on a tropical island in
establishing their little patriarchal govern-
ment. The head of the present Swiss family
is Alfred Mathys, aged '42 years. His wife
Veronica is one year his senior. The two
oldest of the fifteen children are Marie and
Alfred, twins, aged'20 years. The ages of
the others follow 'in pretty regular order,
viz. : 18 years,‘ 17, 16, 14, 11, 10, 9, 8, 6 4,
3and2years, ending with the baby of 9
months. They all started West, and will
form a fair nucleus upon which to found a
Swiss settlement. Of the juniors eight are
males and seven females.

children, aged from 14 years to 11 months,

Havoc by Fire.
The amount of devastation done by the for-
est fires in this State is enormous, and they
are yet continuing their work of destruction.
Within a radius of twentynflvc miles frOm-Port
Jervis nearly one hundred thousand acres of
woodland have been destroyed, with all the
cut and standing timber. Many barns and
dwelling-houses have also been swept away,
and families have had to flee for their lives.
Gangs of men are fighting back, the flames,
but it is difficult work, since even the green
leaves burn readily in this terrible drought.
The loss by this calamity is irreparable. The
hillsides on the Delaware and Neversink,that
were covered with beautiful forests,have been
left bare of the growth of centuries. From St.
Lawrence County, in this state, from the bor-
der counties of Pennsylvania, and from the
hills of New Hampshire, the same stories of

Governor Tilden’s letter accomplished many
wonderful conversions, but none of them can
begin to compare with that produced in the
Cincinnatti Enquirer. That journal is now
one of his most, zealous supporters, yet no
longer ago than June 5 it made this astound-
ing utterance: “ There are a few facts con-
cerning Sam Tilden which we trust will sink;
into the minds of Western and Southern dem-
ocrats: 1. He cannot carry his. own state in
November. 2. He cannot carry any northern
state. 3. He is a hypocrite, a political swin-
dler, has long been a public plunderer,‘ and is
really the only disreputable candidate promi-
nently named on the democratic side. 5. .H‘c
has sought this high office by methods so am _
precedentedly shameless and disreputable
that it’would be an everlasting stigma upon a
democratic convention to nominate him, and
a reproach upon the American people to elect
him if nominated. * * 6. Should *God’s
providence, seemingly estranged,’ permit his
nomination, by whom and what would he be
nominated? By the servile, conscienceless.
tools that money can purchase; by the most
corrupt influences that ever entered into 'a
presidential nomination; by the system on
which all other quack medicines are sold——a_d-
vertising; and even respectable medical asso-
ciations read out of the profession doctors
that will advertise. It would seem that the
democratic party should have as high a re-
spect for the good name of the party and the
government as the venders of pills have for
their craft. It could not but‘be that a man
educated in cunning, hypocrisy and iniquity,
nominated in corruption and shameless cf- :
frontery, even though his millions could elect
him, would give us the most corrupt adminis-
tration the country has ever known. Neither
imperial dignities nor the gloom of solitude,
says Titicus, could save Tiberius from him-
self, and Tilden could not rise above himself
or above the sources of his. power.” - What
could have been the miraculous attribute of a
letter which could overcome a prejudice liké
this? The Enquirer itself says the cause of
the prejudice was removed—that Tilden sur-
rendered. What a surrender was there, my
countrymen! \
The experience of a generation has not justifi-
dd these lugubrious forebodings, which were
yet natural to a public man,seventy-six years
old who had seen the earlier and simpler meth-
ods. A man, however,who had also seen the
election of Jefferson by the House might
have felt that there was no more danger in
the popular than in the exclusive system.
Party spirit Was never more fierce than in
the younger days of John Quincy Adams.
The later methods of free and general ex-
pression have remedied some of its perils.
The very canvass which Mr. Adams contem-
plated with astonishment and dread was full»
of good humor. It will always be known as
the hard cider campaign,’and it was a kind

There will be nothing at the Centennial
exhibition so remarkable and significant to
that distinguished visitor, “the thoughtful
foreigner,” as the spectacle of the nation it-
self engaged in the canvass for the Presiden-
cy. It is at such times, in the midst of the
great assemblies stimulated and swayed by
partisan oratory, that the essential character
of our system is seen. The meetings are
huge, but they are instinctively selfigovern-
ing. The police would be powerless should
they attempt to cope with any serious distur-'
home at such meetings, except from the con-
sciousness of every officer that he is support-
ed by the approval, and if necessary the
muscle, of the vast multitude. The crowd
does not represent hostility to the government
or the law, for it is itself consciously
of the government and of the law-
making power. Moreover, the great
meetings are great safety-valves. Passion
exhales in free expression. The appeal to
rancorous and. mischiveous feeling fails in a‘
comfortable and good-natured crowd of in-
dustrious people who have a real “stake in
the state"—and almost every large collection
of Americans must be of that kind—as Can-'
ning's radical failed with the needy knife.
grinder. Indeed, it is the radical who must
have a story to tell. The first requirement
of the orator of amonster meeting in a presi-
dential campaign is that he shall be entertain-
ing. Mr. Webster did not prove to be the
~hero of such assemblies.
“Tom” Corwin,
“Jim" Nye—then on the other side—and in
one year John Van Buren, were the kind of
orator that the occasion demanded. Mr.
Adams would have been lost in amazement
if he could have known that, twenty years
after he saw with fear the beginning of the
mass-meetings, and on the eve of a dreadful
civil war, the presidential canvass would be
conducted with perfect toleration upon both
sides in that part of the country where there
were two sides. '
The “thoughtful foreigner” will see the
same spectacle this year, happily without the
gloomy background. He will see the whole
country politically alive, active, 'and noisy.
Huge meetings, tumultuous enthusiasm, end-,
less speeches, music, fire-works, shouting
that will seem to ring from ocean to ocean,
then a quiet voting between sunrise and sun—
set of a November day, followed by univers-
al acquiescence inth'e result, and the return
of everybody to his ordinary occupation. It
will be aspectacle more inspiring than that

Wren is 1N run Srarauv amour
Au t 19, 1876. i
To prcvcnt misrepresentashen at the North
I hassen to give a troothful account uv an ce-
currence wich took placc'atathc Corners last
week, wich is regretted by every citizen. It
will be publisht in every \Ablishun paper uv
the North, that the democracy uv the Corners
kild six niggers last Toosday, without coz.
The killin I admit—the co‘zI insist the nig-
gers furnisht theirselves. " ' ‘
This is a troo statement flv wat will be
called the “ Corners Massacrd :” ‘
John Pogram, the Deek‘iri's' eldest son, is,
and alluz hez bin, and alluz wvill be, a troo
Southern shivalry. He Wuz‘x reconstructed,
and accepted the sitooashen, but nigger riles
him, wfc'ihe is not to be held accountable for,
for its constitutional. ’-
John wuz‘ in a frame uv 'mind Toosday
mornin. He hed four akers uv grass wich
needed cuttin, and he tried in vane to get
sum one to do it. Not a nigger cood he hire
for luv or money, ez they wuz all cuttin their
own, and ez we hevent eny Northern whites
here, uv course no white man cood be bed to
do manyel labor.
And to add to his discontent, Joe Bigler
hed sejested to him that to save the grass he
(Pogram) mite cut it hisself, wich insult he
darsent resent, Joe being. handy with his re-
volver. - i“ ', “ ...
J ohu hed bin layin on his back in Basconl’s:
fur two hours, argooin- that the scum wuz it
'goin to rooinfor want uv labor, when sum
one remarkt to hint: ' . ’ .
T “‘ There goes Joe.” . 3?
Joe wuz (I say wuz, for Joe isn’t now) for.
merly a slave uv John's father, and John
knew that he hedn’t nothin «to- do that wuz
pressin, and he went out‘andfliaild him:
j “Stop, yoo d-—-d black son’: of a l”
“ Wat do you want ‘1’” wuz his insolent re-
pIY- .. .
“ I want yoo to. cut that grass uv mine,
back uv the barn, d——d your black heart l”
“ I can’t do it," wuz the auser.
I will not give the conversashen in full,but
snuff to say that the nigger 'wuz e’ziimpoodent
ez he could be. ' ' '- ‘»
Finally, when prest‘ for a reason for not
cuttin the grass, the nigger said plumply that
he'd do the work? ef John w00d pay him
$4.50 that he owed him for - Work over two
yeers, and pay for this in advance 1
E Uv' cOurse John had but one thing to do.
Roused by this insult to miidnis, he sailed
into Joe, and Joe he'd the'insOOIence to strike
bak. And the awdashus nigger wood liev-
whaled him of the rest uv us hadn't come to
o
went back and took a drink. _
-It occurred to us that this ackshen of Joe’s
wuz intended to bring on a collision betwixt
the two races and we determined to nip it in
the bud‘. ' _" _,
‘ Anticipatin a dreadful conflikl we armed
ourselves, determined to .sell our lives dear. '
1y. Race wars are. alluz bloody. . . _
: We went to the late Joe’s house and found
that lie bed a shotgun, an axe, and a hoe,ev-
idently arms to be yooscd aginns.’
On the way to . another nigger’s house to
search for arms, we diskivered: the nigger in
his field pretendin to be at work, On seein
us he run ontil Issakcr Gavitt, who is death
on a nigger at 60 yards, put atliall thru him
and he stopped. _ , ;
. Uv course that nigger intended to rise agin
the whites. Ef he didn't wat did he run for ?
Troo, we hed shot guns, rifles, and revolvers,
but wat rite bed he to spose that we meant to
yoosc ’cm on him ?
, The next house we came to we found the
nigger a loafin in, his ' front door yard. He
‘lied his hayin all done, and was harnessin his
mules to come to town. There could be but
‘dneinterpetashun put onto this move. He
wuz u goin to the ‘Cornersto jine the move-
ment agin us. , ' ‘ _
When we asked him “where in hélhe wuz
a goin,” he anseered in themost feendish man-
ner that he wuzn’t aware that it wuz eny uv
our business, and went on- harnessin his ani-
mals. , , ,
; Ez a measure uv safety his bed wuz blowd
off, and we went on.
-: I cannot defend the ackshen uv our people
affterthis, except by sayin that theywuz mad-
denedbywhat they had diskivered, and shot
every nigger they cood find.
' Nor kinI blame em. The niggers have
withheld from us that confidence nessary to
good feelin. Ever since they got the noose
ilv that Hamburg trouble, they hev showed
theirselves ez little ez possible, and when
they came to the Corners to trade, they irri--
tated us by goin to Bollocks, and gettin home
oz suddenly ez they cood. - ’
. Think uv it. Here we wuz in the midst uv
dpopulashen uv inferior beins' a' thirstin for
our blood, armed ez I have showed, and me-
nacin us in every way. We found axes and
hoes in or about every house, and frekently
shot guns, wich they bed bin‘ too cunnin
to load till they wanted to yoosc ’em.
And wat wuz more damnin evidence uv
their guilt, the moment we appeared to cm
the blood-thirsty wretches, feelin that their
purposes wuz discovered, run like rabbits.
Not one on em bed the hardihood to stand
afore us and cheer the questions we put to em.
; 'I will say that things wuz done under the
heet of passion, wich I can’t apologize for.
Two wimminwuz kild, but it wuz accidental.’ ‘
Issaker Gavitt had his rifle ded onto the bus-
band uv one uv em, and the improodent wo-
man rushed afore him and receeved. a ball
that wuzn’t intended for her. The other
aboosed Captain McPelter by orderin him out
iiv her house, and uv course his shot gun
went off and she expired.
3 I hev no apology to offer for the taking off
uv the first two niggers; our sitoosshen must
be considered. These people wich is a thirs-
tin fur our blood wuz wunst our property,
and we eggsatced uv em not only obejense
but respect. Now, by the ackshen uv n tyr-
afnical guvcrnment, they hev become voters,
and insist that afore the law they are our
ekals. When they meet us they how, but
they refoose to take‘ orf ther hats, or acknowl.
edge that they are, in eny Sense, inferior be-
ihs.‘ ,They cum to the pOles beside us, they
won’t work for us onless they choose to, and
in every way they impose upon us. ‘ ‘ '
3' Kill a high-toned shivelry endoor this? It
can’t be expectid. We want peece, but they
must observe the Only conditions onto wich
peece is possible. O .. ' '
E Andin their insubordinashun they are‘ab.
betted by that feend J oe Bigler. When Dee-
kin Pogram, that blessid saint, wantid yaller
Tom, wich wuz‘iafol-‘e the war his nigger, to
work for him, Joe-Biglcr mockingly urged
him to do it. '
“ There is a? sc‘riptooral- injunkshen onto
you,” sed Joe to the nigger, “ wich is ‘Honor
thy father and thy mother, that thy daze may
be long in the land.’ YOOr mother .wuz sold
South aforc-the war when yoo was a year old, ‘
so yoo can’t honor her; but yoo hev yoor fa-
er spared to yoo.” , .
l Ez Tom is half whitc,.and oz by a singlet
coincidence he rcsembles'tll'c Deekin, it wuz
an insult to that good man wiCh- the niggers
. all jined in.
5 But despite all this provicashun I. spoae the
North will howl in this case eggsactly ez it
did‘ in that matter at Hamburg, and yoosc it
against us. _
' lnstid of its bein yooscd oz 9. reason for vo-
tin against Tilden, it affords the. best recscn
for supportin the great reformer. Elect him,
and he. will hey the niggers in sick a shape that
they cannot give as reasons for killin uv em.
3 Give us the control uv‘the guvcrnment four
years, and we will make em so valuable to us
that we can’t afford to yoose our shot guns on
em. For this reason every humanitarian,
every lover of the nigger, ought to work nite
and day for our success.

This'Young Man
A young surveyor-of little; fame. 1--
To the Carys’ noble mansion clinic,
And things that would weigh, my friend.
‘ with you. '
Impelled him to make it his rendezvous,
For the Misses Cary were sweet and fair,
And the young man rash enOugh to dare
To dream Of one as_a precious wife,
And ask her if she wouldbe his for life.
But this Miss Cary bethbllght in fine » .
That she came froman old and;a wealthy line,
And she‘said, I don’t know as _I can I, _
Resign my future toe—this ‘youn‘g‘nian. "
And Colonel Cary arose and swore
That his daughter who rodd. in s “clinch and,

To bethe helpmeet of—this young man.

Now this young insuwas of sterner-stuff . '

So he wrought his duty formanydays, ' .
Till doing his duty he. wrougln his praise ;
For this young man became.ap0wer ‘
To save the_nation in that dark hour
When patriots trembled and thought‘it vain
To block theway. of the British reign ;
But this young mapwas sodiscreet
As to snatch atliumph'trom defeat,
And the British lion soon began ' :.
To fear the wisdom-of—this .young‘ma‘n.
When war was‘over and all was well,
And the land was free, as we’re proud to'tell,
The people gave in their legal plan , '
The highest hOnOr to—this young man. ‘

I walked one day amid a lovely garden, ,
Where sweet flowers bloomed on every side,‘
That filled the air with grateful fragrance and
Gladdened my soul with variégated beauty;
But most that charmudim'e and my vision'daz- '
Were two sweet rosebuds on a single stem, -
’ _ So fragrant and so beautiful I faiii5would .
- pluck them. /
But the gardener came and said i acumen
them not, ‘ *. .' " L
For I have nursed thcmiwith a tcuden care,
And watched their growth; and'ininded them,
And they are destined forabride’strmmamfi .
and so I left them with a wistfulgla‘iice; ‘
And wheresoeWr in that mansions g'o ' '
My lingering footsteps‘turned towards . these
flowers. ' " T '
’ So I have seen two lovely sister-a grow -
And bud‘and bloom, and charm the eye
And palpitate the heart, ' ' _
And ever and anon the gardener came,
Looking upon them with a mother’s gaze,
That fondly seemed to, say to. whomsoever I
approached, ‘ . . . , .
These, too, are garnered for thebridal hour.
So, too, I turn from them and say: “ Alas!
Such sweets of. life are not for._me to sip.”-
