The Unseen Paradise.
Within each heart there lies apart
From all its cares and sorrows,
A paradise which knows no sighs,
A world of happy morrows;
A heaven of light unknown to blight
Of winter bleak and dreary,
Whose days are long, and sweet with song,
Whose hours are never weary.
What matter though earth’s pathways glow
No more with springtime gladuess?
What if each June has flown too soon
And left a look of sadness?
No real love so true will prove,
No tones one half so tender,
No lips so pure as those which lure
The soul to visioncd splendor.
From the Y cutk‘s Companion.
Only Five Dollars.

“Say, Delia; will you go in to Waterbury
with me, tomorrow ?” .
“ I’d like to, Mary ; I wish I could; but
think it will not be possible. "Lumau finds
it difficult to collect money from his patients
this year. and I don’t know how to spare a
cent.”
“ Well, I was going to say if you’d go with
me, I’d pay your fare for your company. I
never traded much there,,and don’t know the
stores, or where to go for my purchases ; and
I want to call at Aunt White’s, too, but I
‘hate to go alone.” '
“ It don’t seem right, Mary, for you to pay
my fare, but ifI can really help you, why, 1
shall be glad to go. I ought‘to get my Mary
a Sunday but, and Luman some stockings,
and myself a calico, and I should have a
greater variety to choose from there than
here.”
Mrs. Peck was a country doctor's wife.
Does my dear reader know all that means?
She had to economize, because the doctor’s
bill is the last bill anybody ever thinks of
paying—in the country 3 and a good doctor
which means a good man—sympathetic as
well as skillful, and kind-hearted as keen,—
forbcars, even to his own detriment, to press
the settlement of his accounts; seeing as he
only can see, how hard it is to be both poor
andsick.
Blessings on country doctor’s 1 Out of their
ranks a whole calender of saints might be
canonized; but the good Lord only knows
how good are these ministering disciples of
His, who go about as He did, doing good.
And their wives have a harder time than if
they were missionaries. Mauyfu dark hour
did Mrs. Peck watch and wait for her doc-
tor, knowing well that in storm or calm,
through the wild bursts of thunner, or
treacherous and blinding snows, his solitary
little sulky was abroad on the rough hilltops
or in lonely :valleys, holding almost her life
in its frail shelter; tugged by the sturdy
horscithat was only~lcss hard-worked than its
;. ister. ’
All alone with her little girl she spent the
eater part of every day and night; hard
.. ork preventing anxiety from doing its worst
upon her, though you could see its traces in
the gray lines among the soft waves of her
heir, and in the sad dark eyes that when
she was not smiling looked tired with past
tears.
Mary Peck was the doctor’s sister. Hav-
ing a large school in a village some miles
beyond Dennis, where her brother lived, she
frequently spent her vacations at his house.
It was now the spring recess of two weeks
and she wanted much to go to Waterbury,
twenty-five miles east by rail, to do her shop-
ping for the summer. She had agood salary
and could well afford to give Delia this out-
ing, so the tired little woman gladly consent-
ed to go.
The doctor literally had not a cent in his
purse to give her; but she had a knack at
raising poultry, and while their own table
was well-furnished from the great “ coop, ”
as she called it, in the yard, the superfluous
eggs had been readily bought at the village
store, and she had laid up ten dollars, do-
voted to shoes, stockings and calico, abso-
lutely needed; for she did hate to ask the
doctor for money. Not that he grudged it—
never—but he never had it. Most of hisnbills
that were paid, were paid in produce ; and
neither potatoeébuckwheats, pork, straw, nor
oats would serve her purpose, She must
have money for her purchases. So she set
out for Waterbury with Mary, leaving little
Mary with the minister's wife, and was soon
plunged into the attractive precincts of the
Waterbury dry-goods shops.
She bought her little girl a pretty straw
hat, and some ribbon to trim it looking
sharply about her to see 'how it should be
trimmed.
This cost two dollars and a half, Then came
some socks for the doctor, and four pair of
these, strong and serviceable, cost another
dollar. "
In the meantime, Mary was looking at such
pretty things that Mrs. Pesk’s eyes glistened.
These soft suitings were not for her, nor that
graceful wrap of gray cloth with its heavy
fringe; but, she was generous and gentle
both, and it gave her almost as much pleasure
to help Mary select her'things as if they were
to replace her own black alpaca and warp
shawl.
When it came to her own turn to buy a
calico, she was as pleased as if it had been a
summer silk, to find a neat skirt and jacket
of pretty pattern, all made up, for a dollar
and a half. The rest of her money must be
saved for shoes. These she could get at the
store in Dennis; a pair for her and a pair for
little Mary.
Shopping is attractive, but it absorbs money
very fast. When Mary Peck had bought her
suit, her wrap, gloves, stockings, and hand-
kerchiefs, and ordered awhile chip but to be
trimmed with pale and blue ribbon and blush
roses—just the thing to decorate her lovely
complexion, dark curls and violet eyes—she
found to her amazement her purse had given
out.
"Delia,” said she, “have you done your
shopping ?"
“ Yes, dear.”
“ And have you any money left?”
“ Yes; five dollars and ten cents.”
“Oh, how luckyl Will you lead me the
five dollars? I am really penniless. My hat
came to more than I thought it would cost,
and as soon as I get back to Charlemont, I’ll
send the money to you.” '
“ Certainly, dear,” and Mrs. I’eck drew out
the precious bill, and handed it to Mary, not
doubting what she said, and glad she was able
to help her. -
The ten cents she spent in oranges for lit—
tle Mary, half blaming herself for the extrav-
agance, but then Mary was her only child,
and a little delicate creature at that, holding
her mother’s heart in her hand, as such child-
rendo. _
They got back at night to Dennis very
tired. The day but one after, Mary returned
to Charlcmont. Two days later little Mary
—whom for distinction her mother called
May—came home from school with her shoes
broken across the sole. They must be men-
ded. The cobbler was a patient of the doc-
tor’s, so the shoes were sent to him, and May
scuffled about in a pair of moccasous and
took a slight cold.
Her Sunday shoes were worn out _ two
weeks before, and so worn she could not put
them on. They had gone to the tinman’s
cart with other rubbish.
Mrs. Peck thought every day she should
hear from Mary, and would get the money so '
that she could buy May some shoes, but neith-
er letter ormoney came. .
The cobbler patched up the ragged shoes
as well as he could; and now Mrs. Peck
found to he rdismay that her-:own boots had
given out from the Waterbury trip, and she,
too, had to stay at home from church on
Sunday. because they were not fit towear.
After ten day’s delay, a letter came from
Charlcmont; a gay, bright letter, ending
with “ There’s a teacher’s conventioa in
Ludlow (the next town to Dennis,) on the
twenty-fourth, and I will bring the five
GOHMS I borrowed of you when I come
through.”
This was the second of May. It was the
twenty-second of April the money had been
lent Mary. Eggs were now a drug at the
store. The doctor never would let her run
in debt and she and May were all but shoe-
less.
In the meantime Mary had said to herself
—sceiug a pretty cambric she wanted ina
Charlemont shop—“If I buy it, I can’t send
Delia her money till next month, but it’s only
five dollars. She will not wantit before I go
to Ludlow.”
She did not think that Delia had been too
poor to pay for her own car-ticket to Wat-
erbury, or that she had refrained from buy-
ing her shoes there, as she meant to at first,
saying she would get them at home at the stor
because Mr. Clark had been so civil and kind
to her always. I
" But evil is wrought for wantof thought
As well as for want oi‘hcnrt.”
May’s old shoes soon gave out past patch-
ing. The slight Cold she had taken from
wearing moccasins hung about her, owing to
the damp and cold spring winds. There
came on a heavy shower one day while she
was in school, and running out at recess her
shoes were wet through, for the patched soles
and cracked upper leathers soaked easily.
She sat all the rest of the morning with wet
feet, and went home very hoarse.
Mrs. Peek undressed her, and looked for
some chlorate of potash in the office. It was
all gone. The doctor had filled his bottle that
morning with the last.
She did not like to leave May alone to go
to the store where asmall assortment of drugs
was kept, and even if she would have left
her, her own old shoes were unfit to w car, it
still ruined so hard.
She bound some salt pork on the child’s
throat, and steamed it with camphor, but the
child grew worse and worse, and before the
doctor came home at midnight, she was in a
high fever. Wet feet had exasperated the
cold she had before, and by the next morning
she was in the grip of pneumonia, and very
ill indeed.
The doctor scolded about her shoes; but
Mrs. Peck could not complain to him of his
sister. She cried a little, and was silent.
May grew worse. There were many little
alleviations to be had, if her mother could
have paid for them. The child pined for
oranges. There were plenty at the store,
but no money to buy them with. Her gruel
was sweetened with maple sugar, and she
hated it. V She cried for coffee, and there was
none.
Only five dollars! But how poor Mrs Peck
wanted it! After a long struggle, little May
begun to get better. Her fever subsided; she
needed tonics. '
“ I wish we could get a little wine for her,"
said the doctor, looking wistfully at his wife.
He knew she had money from the sale of her
eggs, but what could she have done with it ?
Mrs. Peck grew deSperate. She could not
see her darling so weak and white with any
patience.
Suddenly she bethought herself of the cal-
ico dress she had thought. Perhaps Mr.
Clark would take it, for it had never been
unfolded. But how could she get to the
store ?
Luckily the doctor had an hour to spare
after tea that day, so while he staid with
May, she put on his shoes and went down
with her bundle, Mr. Clark was glad to buy
the dress.
“It’ll jest suit my wife, Mis, I’eck, I know.
It’s a dreadful chore, she says, to make her
gownds,and this is sort of tasty, aint it,comin
from the city? Well,well, it is amazin’ how
they can make ’em so cheap.”
Mrs. Peck did not stay to hear more. She
went to an old maiden lady who “ had the
name” of making curraut wine as good as
any imported article, and bought a bottle of
her at an exorbitant price, but as Miss Davis
said,—
“ It’s seven years old, and think of them
worms! I haiut made a drop for two year
back ; and it’s dreadful healin’. I don’t want
to part with none on’t a mite; but seen’ it’s
y0u’l____
And Mrs. Peck again cut short a discourse,
hurrying home with her precious bottle,
thinking no more other calico dress when
she saw the doctor’s tired face light up, and
a little color flicker in May’s face after the
first teaspooufuls had been cautiously admin-
istered. '
By the time Aunt Mary stopped at Dennis,
on her way to Ludlow, May ‘was able to sit
up against the pillows; and Aunt Mary was
shocked to see how pale and weak she was.
“ You precious little morsel 1” she said,
“ How did you ever get such a dreadful cold
to begin with.” '
“My shoes was all worn to pieces, auuty.
Movver couldn’t get me any new ones."
Still Mary did not think why it was that
“ movver” could 'not get them, though the
weak, pathetic voice brought tears to her
eyes. She had on her new cambric dress, the
dress that meant so much to May and her
mother; and when Delia admired, it she
said—
“ I tried to cut it like that pretty jacket to
your calico, Delia ; but I didn’t quite re-
member about the neck. Let me see, that
please.”
The doctor’s wife blushed.
it, Mary,”
“ Why, child, what on earth did you do
with it? Didn’t it suit you ?"
“ Don't ask too many questions, dear," said
Mrs. Pee”, trying to laugh.
“I can tell you,” said the doctor, coming
in from the next room, where he was sitting.
" I found her out yesterday, Molly. She
sold it at the store to buy her baby a bottle
of wine,” and the doctor gavena look to his
wife worth aggood many more five dollar bills
to the loving little woman that ever she had
or would have. ‘
“ O Delia,” said Mary, “ here is your mon-
ey. I am so ashamed!”
She held out the five dollars, and Mary gave
a little cry of joy. '
“ O movver! now I can have some shoes.”
" What have I done ?” said Mary bursting
into tears and hiding her face in her hands.
“ You Don’t meant to do anything, dear
child,” said Mrs. Peck, putting her arm
around her.
“ O Delia, I didn’t think 1
dollars couldn’t be a trouble to you.
too, too bad I”
“ Five dollars don’t grow on the trees in
Dennis, Molly, and a country doctor is worse
“I havln’t got

It was
off than a country minister very often.” said'
Doctor Peck, trying to laugh, but with ill
success, ' for he remembered how he had
scolded about those old shoes, and how Delia
had not said a word, only cried.
Yes, indeed i That five dollars would have
been more valuable here than fifty, or five
hundred elsewhere; but Mary had learned a
lesson she never forgot. May’s pale, thin
face, Della’s anxious eyes, the doctor’s care-
worn and wearycountenauce, rose up in her
memory continually to' remind her that small
debts may be of'greal value to poor people ;
and any debts are sure to do some harm
somewhere.
And to clinch this driven nail and make it
sure, she underlined deeply this text in the
Bible which was her daily counsel—for Mary
tried and meant to be a Christian woman—
“ He that is faithful in that which is_lcast, is.
faithful in that which is muc .”
Economy In Dress.
A dress that is so peculiar as to be striking,
either from its brilliaucy or from any other
cause, should be adopted only by a woman
who has many changes of raiment, and so
may wear it only occasionally, or the sight
of it becomes a bore, even if at first it is in-
teresting from its novelty. The woman who
has many dresses can afford also to give it
away or convert it to some other use before
it is worn, while the unobstrusive dress easily
lends itself to some different, adjustment,
which gives it an entirely new aspect.
A woman who has but one best gown can
“ wear it with a difference," like the rue
Ophelia offers to her brother, so as. to make
it suitable to many occasions, especially if
she have two waists, or “ bodies,” as the
English call them. One skirt will easily out-
last two waists. and therefore this is a real
saving. But suppose that there be but one
waist, or the dress be made all in one piece
(than which there is no prettier fashion),and
it should be worn one day high in the neck,
with collar and cuffs, on another day with
the neck turned in, and a lace or muslin
fichu gracefully adjusted with bows or flow-
ers, and a bit of lace at the wrists, a pair of
long gloves, and a more elaborate dressing of
the hair, it will be scarcely recognizable
But the dress must be of a very general
character, like black silk, or some dark color,
or the pleasure of the new impression is lost.
The wise person with a small capital never
buys any but a good and lasting thing. Each
year she adds one or two really solid posses-
sions to her wardrobe, which, treated with
care, last her many years. Thus on a really
small sum she may dress very beautifully.
Without capital one is often obliged to buy
what can last but a few months; but there
is choice even here.
There is certainly a great economy in a
woman’s adopting for occasions of ceremony
one dress from which she never diverges. It
becomes hcr characteristic, and there is even
a kind of style and beauty in the idea. The
changing fashions in color and material pass
without affecting her. She is never induced
to buy anything because it is new. She is al-
ways the same. The dress in this case must
have a certain simplicity. It costs her little
thought and little time, and when the old
edition, becoming worn, gives way to the
new, the change is not perceived, nor is it
noticed when the new in its turn becomes
old.
Such dress as this must of course lie within
certain limits. Suppose it to be a black vel-
vet; it would last, with care, at least five or
six years. Suppose it to be a white cashmere
—-a dress of small cost; it could with care,
last two seasons; and then, cleaned, last an-
other season or two ; and then, dyed, be
turned into a walking dress to last two sea-
sons more.
If a dress is put on with grace, its owner
alone is aware of its defects, and it is a kind-
ness to the spectator if she will keep her own
secret.
In France, and I believe also in Italy, they
have a poetic fashion of dedicating for a cer-
tain number of years (five, ten, or twenty
years,-according to the parent's fancy) young
girls to the Virgin. I do not know in what
way they demonstrate this dedication except
in the color of their dress, which is always,
for all occasions, summer or winter, blue or
white, or white and blue mixed. This af-
fords more variety than at first thought it
would seem to be capable of, for any shade'
of blue may be used.
There is a great {economy in deciding on a
few becoming colors in their several shades,
and confining one’s dress to these. Choosing
colors that harmonize with each other, like
gray, black, purple, blue, yellow, white, and
never buying any other colors, one may, in
making over garments, use one with another
so that nothing is wasted.
It is also important to know what point of
dress to emphasize. For instance, one may
expend a large sum on a gown, and if the
shoes are shabby or ill—madc,the gloves worn,
and the bonnet lacks style, the gown is en-
tirely thrown away. But the gown may be
no longer new; it must now be carefully
brushed and well put on, the collar and cuffs,
or other neck and wrist trimmings, must he
in perfect order, the boots well made and
well blacked, even if not new, the gloves
faultless, and the bonnet neat and stylish.
The effect is of a well-dressed woman ; no
man, and very few women, perceive that the
dress is not a new one—Mrs. T. W. anmo

What would I do without “the boys ?"
How often they have been my friends, I
go to a new town. I don’t know one hotel

The man with the samples gets off at the
same station. I follow him without a word
or a tremor. He calls to the ’bus driver by
name and orders him to “get out of this,” as
soon as we are seated. And when I follow
him I am inevitably certain to go to the best
house there is in the place. He shouts to the
clerk by name, and fires a joke at the land-
lord as we go in. He looks over my shoulder
as I register after him, and hands me his
card with a shout of recognition. He peeps
at the register again and watches the clerk
assign me to 98. “Ninety nothing i” he
shouts. “Who’s in 151” The clerk says he
is saving 15 for Judge Dryasdust. “Well,he
be blowed,” says my cheery friend. “Give
him the attic and put this gentleman in 15.”
And if the glerk hesitates he seizes the pen
and gives me 15 himself; and then he calls
the porter, orders him to carry up my bag-
gage and put a fire in 15,and then in the same
breath adds: “What time will you be dowu
to supper Mr. Burdette ?” And he waits for
me, and, sees that I am cared for. and that
the waiters do not neglect me; he tells me
about the town, the people and the business.
He is breezy, cheery, sociable, full of new‘
stories, always good natured; he frisks with
cigars, and overflows with “thousand-mile
tickets ;" he knows all the best rooms in all
the hotels; he always has a key for the car
seats, and turns a seat for himself and his
friends without troubling the brakeman, but
he will ride on the woodbox or stand outside
to accommodate a lady, or he will give his
seat to an old man. I know him pretty well.
For three years I have been traveling with
him, from Colorado to Maine, and I have
seen the worst and best of him, and I know
the best for outweighs the worst. I could
hardly get along without him, and I am glad
he is numerous.

Strategy cs. Strength.
The sand hornet is the greatest villain
that flies on insect wings, and he is built for
a Professional murderer. He carries two
keen cimetcrs besides a deadly poisoned
poniard, and is armed throughout with an in'
vulnerable coat of mail. He has things all
his own way; he lives a life of tyranny and
feeds on blood. Therefiarc few birds—none
that I know of—that care to swallow such
ared hot morsel. It is said that not even
the butcher bird bankers after him. The toad
will not touch him, seeming to know by in-
stinct what sort of chain-lightning be con-
tains. Among insects this hornet is the
harpy eagle, and nearly all of them are at his
mercy. Even the cicada, or drumming har-
vest fly, an insect often larger and heavier
than himself, .is his very common victim-
Considering these characteristics, it was of
especial interest to witness such an incident
as I have here pictured, where one of these
huge tyrants was actually captured and over-
powered by the strategy of three black ants.
I had left the meadow, and was ascending
a spur of the mountain by the edge of a pine
wood, when suddenly I cspied the hornet in
question almost at my feet. He immediately
took to wing, and as. he flew on ahead of me I
observed along pendent object dangling from
his body. The incumbrance proved too great
an obsticle for continuous flight, and he soon
dropped again upon the path, a rod or so in
advance of me. I overtook him, and on a
close inspection discovered a plucky black out
clutching tightly with his teeth upon the hind-
foot of its captive, while with its two hind
legs it clung deSperately to a long cluster of
pine needles which it carried as a dead-weight
N o sooner did the hornet touch the ground
than the ant began to tug and yell for help.
There were certainly evidences to warrant
such a belief, for a second ant immediately
appeared upon the scene, emerging hurriedly
from a neighboring thicket of pine tree moss.
He was too late, however, for the hornet
again sought escape in flight. But this at-
tempt -was even more futile than the
former, for that plucky little assailant had
now laid hold of another impediment, and
this time not only the long pine needles, but
a small branched stick also, went swinging
through the air. Only a yard or so was cov-
ered in this flight; and as the out still yelled
for reinforcements, its companion again ap-
peared and rushed upon the common foe with
such furious zeal that I felt like putting him
on the back. The whole significance of the
scene he had taken in at a glance, and in an
instant he had taken a vise—like grip upon the
other hind-leg. Now came the final tug of
war. The hornet tried to rise,but his second
passenger was too much him ; he could only
buzz along the ground, dragging his load
after him, while his new assailant clutched
desperately at everything within its reach,
new a dried leaf, now a tiny stone, and even
overturning an acorn cup in its grasp.
Finally, a small rough stick the size of a
match was secured, and this proved the “last
straw.” In vain were the struggles of
escape. The hornet could no more than lift
his body from the ground. He rolled and
kicked and tumbled, but to no purpose, ex-
cept to make it very lively for his captors;
and the thrusts of that lively dagger were
wasted on the desert air, for whether or not
those ants know its searching propensities,
they certainly managed to keep clear of this
busy extremity.
How long this pell-mell battle would have
lasted I know not,‘ for a third not now ap-
peared, and it was astonishing to see him;
with every movement of the hornet, he in
turn would lay hold of a third stick, and at
the same time clutch upon those pine needles
to add their impediment to the burden of his
own body.‘
Practically the ants had won the victory,
but what they intended to do with the floun-
dering elephant in their hands seemedja prob-
1cm.» But it was to them only a question of
patience. They had'now pinned their victim
securely, and held him to await assistance.
It came.— The entire neighborhood had been
apprised of the battle, and in less than five
minutes the ground swarmed with an army
of reinforcements. They came from all direc-
tions; they pitched upon that hornet with
terrible ferocity, and his complete destruc-
tion was now only a question of moments.—

Careers in two Countries.
Within the last 21 years three American
presidents have attracted English attention
to such a degree that their histories, their
characters and their faces have been as famil-
iar in this country as any cabinet minister’s.
Englishmen know Mr. Lincoln, Gen. Grant
and Gen. Garfield as they know Sir Robert
Peel, Lord Clyde, Or Mr. Forster. Not one
of the three has been ‘a man of fortune, or
has, indeed, possessed anything like a com.
petence, while two have died poor men. Mr.
Lincoln, until his election, lived upon his
earnings as a lawyer; and when he died,after
six years of the presidency, he left his widow
solittle that a subscription was raised for her
by his friends, and an application was made
to Congress for a pension. Gen. Grant, when
he was called to active service, was far from
prosperous—had, indeed, scarcely anything
except his income from a small business—
aud though he has received large gifts and
has enjoyed the highest salary given in the
Union for eight years, he has still to supple-
ment his pension by work as chairman of
corporations. Gen. Garfield, when he died,
was found to he possessed of £5,000, consist-
ing chiefly of a farm, probably overvalued,
of 120 acres, which be cultivated himself;
out of his salary as President be had effected
an insurance for £5,000 morcfou. even with
that addition the whole property left he-
hind him was only £10,000. The facts are
interesting for two reasons. They show that
the pursuit of politics in America, even
when the politician is successful, is not, for
an honest man, a paying profession, and
that careers are really open in the United
States, not only to the lowly born but to the
poor.
A very large section of American politi.
cians live on their salaries. There is no
more pressure on them in Washington to
live expensivcly than there is on Irish mem-
bers in London; their salaries are not illib-
era], mileage being taken into account, in
that country of magnificent distances; and
they have. we presume, that fearlessness of
the pecuniary future which, more than any
other peculiarity, differentiates Americans
from Europeans. Society such as they wish
does not care about their means, and does not
consider that a poor man is more likely to be
bribed than a rich one. It trusts Garfield,
indeed, before Gould. In England the
member cannot live without money of his
own at all, as ther'c is no salary for him to
receive, and practically, if a very poor man
and married, he finds the position nearly in-
tolerable. More or less, in spite of charac-
ter and ability and even success, if he has
not £1,200 a year from some source or other,
the rich distrust him and the poor despise
him, and he is hampered at every turn.
His want of means is not thrown in his teeth,
as want of birth is, but it is quietly reckoned
against him like an unsafe seat or an old
political escapade. It would in practice be
impossible for a man in General Garfield's
pecuniary position, with a wife and two
sons, unless he were an Irish member, to re-
tain his seat in Parliament without ofllce for
any length of time. With only £2.50 a year
and a house to keep up, his nerve would
break down under the cab difficulty and the
worry of knowing that a dissolution, which
even well-to-do members feel keenly, might
be fatal to him—London Spectator.

Tennyson’s “ Despair. ”'
A NEW DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE BY THE PORT
LAUREATE OF ENGLAND.
(New York Evening Telegram.)
Alfred Tennyson publishes a dramatic
monologue, entitled Despair, in the the cur-
rent number of the Nineteenth Century. It
IS the story of a man and his wife,who,having
lost faith in a good future life, resolve to
commit suicide by drowning. The woman is
drowncd‘ but the man is rescued by the min-
ster of the sect he has abandoned. Of this
work one critic remarks “Mr. Tennyson has
never been less ambiguous, seldom more.
powerful,never more weirdly impressive than
in this the latest fruits of his genius. Mr.
Tennyson, on this occasion, exemplifies with-
out enforcing, or, in terms refuting the men-
tal misery of a man without hope, without
belief and without the capacity of enjoying
the only life of whose existence he can feel
sure. The whole poem is addressed by the
man snatched from death to his unwelcome
friend in apparent need. Here and there are
interspersed fragments of spasmodic reproach
to this officious intruder, ‘but the greater part
of the monologue is an explanation of the
sufferer’s feelings as far as they are capable
of analysrs." The following are quotations
from this poem:
Is it you that preached in the chapel there,
looking over the sand,
Followed us, too, that night and dogged us
and drew. us to land?
What did I feel that night? You are curious.
How should 1 tell?
Does it matter so much what I felt?
rescued me, yet was it well
That you came unwished for, uncalled for
between me, the deep and my doom ?
Three days since, three more dark days of
the godless gloom
Of a life without sun, without health,without
hope, without any delight.
Can anything here upon earth—but ah 1
God! that night, that night,
When the rolling eyes of the lighthouse there
on the fatal neck
0f land running out into rock they had saved
many hundreds from wreck,
Glared on our way toward death, I remem-
bered, I thought as we passed.
Does it matter how many} the saved ?
are all of us wrecked at last.
Do you fear ? —and there came through the
roar of the breaker a whisper,a breath, '
Fear? Am I not with you ? I am frightened
at life, not death, _
And the suns of the limitless universe spark-
led and shone in the sky.
Flashing with fires of God, but we know that
their light was a lie.
Lightly step over the sands, the waters, you '
hear them call,
Life, with its anguish and sorrows and er-
rors. away with it all. "
And she laid her hand in my own, she was
always loyal and sweet.
Till the points of the foam in the dusk came
playing round our feet.
There was a strong sea current, would sweep‘
us out to the main.
Ab, God, tho’ I felt as I spoke I was taking
the name in vain.
Ah, God! and we turned to each other; we
kissed, we embraced, she and 1,
Knowing the love we were used to believe
everlasting would die.
We had read their know-nothing books and
we leaned to the weaker side;
Ah, God! should we find him, perhaps, per-
haps, if we died, if we died,
We never had found him on earth ; this earth
is a fatherless hell, I
Dear love, forever and ever, forever and ever
farewell!
Nevera cry so desolate not since the world -
began,
Never a kiss so sad, no, not since the coming
of man :
But the blind wave cast me ashore, and you
- saved me a valueless life;
Not a grain of gratitude mine, you have part-
ed the man and the wife. -
I am left alone on the land, she is alone on
the sea,
If a curse meant auzhtl would curse you for
not having let me be.
Have I crazed myself over their horrible in-
fidel writings? oh yes!
For these are the new dark ages, you see, of
the infidel press
When the but comes out of his cave and the
owls are whooping at noon,
And doubt is the lord of this dunghill and
crows to the sun and the moon,
’Till the sun and the moon of our signs are
both of them turned into blood,
Md hope will have broken her heart running
after a shadow of good.
For their knowing and know nothing books
are scattered from hand to hand,
We have knelt in your know all chapel, too,
looking over the sand,
Ah! yet I have had some glimmer at times
in my gloomiest woe,
Of a God behind all, after all—the great God
for aught that I know, ‘
But the God of love and of hell, together
they cannot be thought
If there be such a God may the great God
curse him and bring him to nought.

Garfield and his Horse at Chica-
manga.
Speaking of the battle of Chickamauga,
the New York Tribune says:
“ Garfield sat coolly upon the ground he-
hind a dead tree, with the bullets whistling
about him, while he indited a dispatch to
Gen. Rosecrans informing him of the situa-
tion. While he sat there a white dove,‘ after
hovering about in the air for a time. settled
on the top of the tree above his head. When
the firing ceased the dove flew away. Gen.
Wood called Gen. Garfield’s attention to the
bird, saying it was a ‘good omen of peace’;
but Garfield said nothing.”
The white dove story is probably as near
true as the one about Garfield’s horse, which
is said to have been killcd‘at Chicamaugn.
We once heard Garfield state what the fact
was. He said he was writing, sitting on the
ground, where there was a depression such
that the flight of shot was overhead. His
horse was held by an orderly, when a round
cannon-ball came close to the group, and
striking another horse full in the breast
killed him instantly. Gen. Garfield said he
looked up, hearing the thud, and savv‘that
his horse was frantic with fright. He had
seen the terrible death of the other horse,
and had abundant sense to be scared. Gar~
field got up and stepped beside his horse,
speaking to him kindly and patting him With
his hand, soothing and reassuring the animal,
which at once became calm and manifested
his gratitude. The horse, Garfield said, as
much as said to him, “ Old fellow, this does
not look well to me, but I have confidence in
you that it is all right.” The horse was not‘
hurt. The real story thus told seems much
more interesting than the romances that have
been expanded out of it.
