Sir Garnet Wolscsey. ,
Sir Garnet Wolseley, now beginning the
fiftieth year nighis age, bassoon over thirty
years of service. In 1852, as ensign, he was
in theBiirmese war, where; he was shot down
in the lead of a storming party by a bull
which tore away aportiOn Offthe left thigh
compelling his return to England: He had
already been mentioned in dispatches. The
outbreak of the Russian :war fOund him fit
for active service, and-he [louded in the
Crimea. in December, 1854,.and served in
the trenches as assistant engineer ~from that
”time until the inheritsshhfgiopoi. to ,the
workgpf'thctrehclies', and during ' succes-
sive assaults and bombardment, he render-
ed conspicuous's’ervice, and-_was frequently?
mentioned in disfratches.‘ During a sortie
of the Russians, while he 'was in charge of
the advanced sap, he received serious inju-
ries about the head, compellingghis retire-
mentgon the sick list, and at One time threat-
ening‘his eyesight, a peril which was finally
averted. Having rejoined his regiment,'he_
was wrecked in 1857, while probeeding 'to
China. He gained distinction iu‘the Indian,
mutiny, being at 'therelief“ of Lucknow, at
the defense of the Alumbagh‘, under Sir.
James Outram, and in several other engage-
meats. After this he acted'as quarter-mas.-
ter general to Sir Hope Grant’s force in
Dads, and continued to serve in India
during 1858 and 1859. ‘ He was upon
the quartermaster general's staff during the
Chinese war in the following year, and was
at the taking: of the Tsku forts. Colonel
Wolseley was sent to Canada at the time of
the Trent difilculty, nnd commanded the;
Red river expedition when the troubles with
that settlement broke out. In 1872 he was
sent to direct the operations against the
Ashautee tribes, andhis management of that
campaign first“ brought him‘ prominently ”be-__
fore the public. "The quick comprehension
vigor or decision and action, and excellent
generalship displayed by Sir Garnet in this
enterprisebecamc well known. , For his ser-
vices he received a valuable sword, the free-
dom of the city of London, the thanks of
both houses of parliament, a grant of £25,-
000, and the offer of a baronetey which he
declined. V _ _ g
It was thus at the age of about 40 that
“Sir Garnet’s luck" fairly declared itself.
Since that time his only active military ser-
vice was in 1879, when he conducted the op-
erations against Secocoeni, whose fortress he
destroyed. .. 4
Besides his military employment SifiGah,
net has held important civil posts under the
colonial office. In 1874 he was sent on‘ a
special mission to Natal, and for several
months:was ad interim governor of the col-
ony. In 1876 he was appointed a member
of the council of .India, and in ,‘1878‘high:
commissioner and Commandorpn-chief of
the island of. Cyprus. In 1879, after the’
Islandwhana catastrophe, he 'went _out as
high commissioner of - the Transvaal and:
Natal, sumorganized'the affairs of'Zulugi'

Sir Garnetvwasma‘de captain in 18.55,‘ma‘j‘or'~ .
in 1858, lieutenant-colonel in 1859 ‘and col-
onel in 1865. From 1874 to 1876 he was com-
mander of the auxilliary forces, with the
rank of inspector general. On the return
from Zululand in 1880, he was appointed
quartermaster fgeneral at the horse guards.
and lately succeeded Sir Charles Ellis as ad-
jutant—general of the army, an :appointment
almost inevitable, which gave general satis-

The management of a great hotelircquircs
as much active ability as the command of a
brigade in the field. The samd attention is
necessary and a strict sj’stem,‘which ap-
proaches military discipline, is followed.
The profits of, a hotel may be largely dimin-
ished Or frittered away entirely through lack
of judgment on tho part'of the heads of de-
.partments and through leakages that are apt
'to occur in every large establishment. In
fspeaking of the lodges of hotels, a hotel man
said recently: ‘ ’
“In a well-managed hotel, however large,
the losses are- not ' so great as is often sup-
posed. Take the provisions. With carefi'rl
buying and adequute; ice houses and cooling
rooms there should be very little wasted.
Things that arejnot used as originally intend-
ed can be utilized in some other way as, for
example, fruit which is not available for des-
sert can be turned into tarts and pies. But
,the greatest loss in food is caused by the
guests themselves when meals are served ia-
ble d’hote. _ Of course a first-class house pré
seats a bill of fare for any meal which con-
tains mdro than five men can eat. There are
somej'pgdple; however, who; are ffnoti accirié
tom'e'd-f tdgthje heist fare, and aroiunable. to
makdseléctidns', and they _'si‘n_rply go in on
theprinciplc of ' getting their money's worth.
So they order everything, and if at dinner go
straight through from soup to coffee, calling
for every dish that the menu contains. Of
course. they can’t eat one-quarter of the
amount and so they leave a great deal to be
wasted. There is a chance also further wait-
ers to cause a loss fry-bringing guests more
things than they want in thehqfie tangible;
undue attention will increase their. fejé’siT‘ButT-
the head waiter and'thc controller who stand
at the doors of the kitchen always keep a
sharp lookout for this and when a waiter is
found .‘ bringing _ a. guest ., half a dozen of
things," instead‘of twoiith‘at are really wanted
he isaimmediately; discharged. When the
meow re ssr‘vediia la carte a great deal of
money "is" often :los't to' the guest by the
‘double check racket,’ which is a favorite
game with dishonest waiters. The guest
writes his orders on a check which the waiter
takes to the cashier’sdesk, where the prices
are put on and the check stamped. But
while the guest is; eating his meal the waiter
secretly makes outj’another check with the
same orders but withwthe .prices increased
from 10 to 50 per cent. Then he hands this
'raised check to thefigucst for payment, but
gives to the cashitjif'thefirst check with the
proper prices, andpoclr‘etg-the difference. If
the guest pays. his check without close ex-
amination, as he is likely to do if he has la-
dies with him, of course he is 'swindled and
we can’t prevent it. I-have heard people say
that they wouldn't go'to the Manhattan,
Brighton or Long Branch hotels again be-
cause the priccs were so outrageous, and I
knew at once that, tho—waiters had raised
their checks. The-only remedy is for the
guest carefully. tozcompare the prices on his
check with those on the bill of fare. First-
ciass waiters as a rule are very smart men.
They are usually Frerrch, German or Italian,
generally speak two, three or four languages,
and often have some education. The best
waiter I _knew was somethingof , a linguist,
soine'tliin‘gbfja musician and do mean artist;
Then he was Thu admirable waiter, and had
the knack of satisfactorily serving a great
many _people at the same time. His fees
were very large. He received the usuirl sal-
ary of $80 or $35 a month and board. We
offered him the position of head waiter at .a
salary of $100 a month and board, and he
refused it. He told me afterwards he couldn’t
afford to lose money by taking the‘plsce, so
'you‘see what his fees must have amounted
to. . At a great seaside hotel, in the height
of the season, a good waiter will make from
$5 'to?$3§'§_‘day in fees. It is not an uncom-
mondhingifor a waiter to receive a dollar as
a sitjgleféé, and if he is serving a large par--
aty‘he‘fjs‘onietihres get $5.
“Bht'réturning to the losses in‘hot‘cls, I‘
come to the bar, which is really the most
important feature of the house. No hotel
can be successfully run without a bar. The
goods, are not perishable, and the receipts-
are' so largely profitable that the manager
often expects the bar alone to pay the ex-
penses of running the hotel. No system of
checks that I know of is effectual in keeping
the harkeepers from ..‘¥99§I£IIIB ‘n,' still I

against the'fchambermaid'a name, and, of
course, she has to return the same number.
Alike plan is followed with the table linen.
Then the laundry is charged with the ' num-~
ber of pieces sent to it, and credit is given
when they are returned. Everything about
the house is thus divided into departments,
the heads of which are responsible to the

There came to the post office a letter ad-
dressed to "Miss Sallie Binns, Post Ofilce,
Philadelphia, Penn." “Who can Miss Sallie
Binns bet.” wondered the clerk, ashe looked
at" the address. ;‘ fStraightway;3 he carried the
document - to phony Tostmastor . James;
Bingham,'aud asked who “Miss'Binns” was,
and added that there were other letters out
in the office for persons around the post ofiice
whom he did‘ not know. Col. Bingham-
scratched his head and sent for‘Postsl In-
spector Barrett to ascertain what this could
,mean. Deacon Barrett was lost in wonder-
ment, and it was finally decided to open the
letter.’ Inside was found one of Jay Hub-
bell’s famous circulars informing Miss Binns
that 2 per cent. of her; salary was requested
as a contribution to aid 'the Congressional
Committee, “that it may prepare, print and
circulate suitable documents illustrating the
issues which distinguish the Republican par-
ty from any other." '
“Who can Sallie Binns be?" queried COL.
Binghom. ~ “I’ll see." So'out he went into
the main room and called~:- “Who knows
Sallie Binns?" “I do, Colonel," said Mr.
Irvin. “Sallie Binns is~ one Oh do cats in~
de cellar, sir.” “What!” exclaimed Bing-
ham; “one of the cats f" “Yes, sir; she's
de black and white tabby." was the reply.
“Go bring her up here," said Bingham,
breaking out into a roar of laughter. "‘Jay
Hubbell has assessed her 2 per cent. Let’s
see what she has to say.”
4 , In a few minutes the cat was placed upon
the stamping 'table, and the boys‘gathered
around. Col. Bingham assumed a serious
air, and then began to read the circular:
“MY DEAR Miss; This committee is or-
ganized for the protection of ther interests
of the Republican'party in cach'of‘the’Con-
gressionai Districts of the Union.”
“Me-ow,” replied Pussy Binns, and the
boys laughed. ' " ' "
»Col. Bingham continued to read in the
same tone as he would a sermdn: “In or-f,_
.der that it may prepare, print and circulate
suitable documents illustrating the issues
which distinguish, the Republican party from
any other, and may meet all proper expenses
incident to the campaign, the committee
feels authorized ‘to apply to all citizens
whose principles or interests are involved in
the struggle.”
"Me-ow-wow,” cried the cat, and the
roars of laughter could be heard all over the
building. .
“Under the circumstances in which the
country finds itself placed, the committee
believes that you will esteem it both a priv-
ilege and a pleasure to make to its fund a
centribution, which it is hoped may not be
less than —-———."
“Me-ow, me-ow, wow-wow—phist,” and‘
pussy howled as if she were getting her
tail cut off,- and jumped around the table as
if she were mad. ' ‘
“She’s a kicker—bounce her,” yelled a
half-dozen of the boys, and pussplet fly her
paws right and left until Bingham read the.
next sentence: '
"The committee is authorized to state that
such voluntary"'contribution from persons
employed in the service of the United States
will not be objected to in any official quar-
ter." . ‘
This assurance seemed to quiet her, and
she sat upon her haunches, and, lifting one
foot to her face, began to rub her nose.
“She’s got her fingers to her nose," roared
out one of the boys. “She doesn't believe
it."
Then there was a gran! shout. Pussy,
more scared than hurt, made a leap off the
table, and rushed down the ofilce to the cel-
lar stairs, and soon disappeared. In' a few
minutes there was a terrible howl among the
cats-in the _coal .bin. oThe “me-owl" were
loud and long, so it was concluded that Sal-
.lie Binns had told the other catswhat Jay
Hubbell had-dohe, and'they had joined in
n
Independents down in the cellar.” remarked
an old employs. “Hubbell won't get no 2
per cent out of them." The letters were ad-
dressed to Tabitha Yard, Maria Johnson,
Thomus‘J'sntz. Sallie Binns, Caesar smith,
Jerry Balls, :William Black, Thomas Brick,
Joseph Phistor, G. Arden Wall, Sarah Nader,
and Kate Erwaul.
It was learned that some wag in the ofiice,
knowing that thecats werelrspt by the appro-.

The Melon Crop.
A few years ago the melon crop had no
considerable commercial value in most parts
of the United States. Occasionally some.
enterprisiug‘farmer boy would raise a “patch,1
of melons” on a portion of. land that had"
not been seeded to some commercial crop”:
would take. a wagon load to a fair, camp;
meeting, or “general muster,“ and realize a
few dimes by selling them out to the multi-
tude. Occasionally they were kept for sale
in small towns, and were more often kept by
dealers inJarge cities. Still no one raised
them as a business, and few were brought to
market except in farm wagons. At present,
however, the cultivation of melons attracts
and many farm'ers'engag‘e in‘ it very exten-.
:been several forty-acre'"‘melon patches”- in
‘Illinois and Missouri, and they have proved
to be very profitable to their owners.
The varieties of melons have increased and
their quality has greatly improved. In this
state, especially, amateurs and gardeners
have increased the size and improved the
quality of melons far beyond what was ever
expected of them. The consumption of
melons in cities is no longer chiefly confined
to ragged boys in the streets. They are
found on the best tables in private houses.
hotels and restaurants. Grocers, marketmen
and fruit dealers vie with‘ each other in keep-
ing the largest assortment of the finest melons
that can be procured. The number of melons
now required to supply some of our large
cities is enormous. _ At present the people of
NewviYork consume not less than 1,000.000
water-melons per month. As soon as other
varieties are in the market the demand will
be still greater. The first that come to mar-
ket readily sell at $1 each, but late in the
season the price often declines to a dime.—

In the September Century, Gen. Geo. B.-
McClellan, writing on “The War in Egypt,"
English: - ,
The first: mutiny of Arabi, his first inso-
lence to his master, should have been prompt-
ly and decisively rebuked, even had it been
necessary to land a force for the‘purpose. If
the mutual jealousy-of France and England
prevented their nipping this difficulty in the
bud by combined action, it would have been
better for England had she boldly taken the
matter inhand, and acted promptly on ‘her
own account, taking the ground that her In-
dian interests and the free use of the Suez
canal rendered such ‘a course imperative.
But a temporizing policy prevailed, and,
closing her‘eyes against the future, England
allowed matters to drift on from bad to
worse, now and again uttering futile pro-
tests, but doing nothing. to guardragainst
the inevitable result. At length an English
fleet was gathered in the harbor of Alexan-
dria, and an ultimatum sentrtothe Egyptian;
authorities, only to be 'c'ohtehr‘ptudusl'y dis-
regarded. But, unlike the practice of Eng-
lhnd in former times, it was not promptly
followed by a resort to" the ultimo» ratio o'e-
yum, and her ignorant and'puny foe not un-
naturallyconcluded that it never would be.
Then came'a bloody massacre in the streets
of Alexandria, the history of'which we do
not fully know as yet—either how-it was'
cbmmenced'Or‘who suffered most from it.
Statements have been published that“ was
commenced-by Europeans. But the probe--
bilities are that the riot was incited by na-
tives actuated by fanaticism and. love of
plunder—motives not always entirely dis-
tinct. _
Here again was an occasion for prompt
action; but it. was-allowed to pass, and
Arabicontinued fortifying the harbor. Cer-
tainly, it was now clear that Arabi meant to
fight, the only question! being the extent to
which his men would stand by him. By this
time the English must have determined to
demand the "surrender of the forts, and, in
case of refusal, to open fire. Their guns
could destroy the forts and burn the town—
one very likely to follow from the Other.‘ If
the garrison retired—as would no doubt be
the case when the forts were silenced—it
was certain that the spirit displayed during:
the recent massacre would lead to further
scenes of murder, plunder and destruction,
which the guns. of the fleet could prevent
it was desirable to save. It was very clear,
then, that the attack by the fleet once being
determined upon, common sense demanded
that there should .be present and availiable
when it commenced a sufficient body of
troops to he lauded as soon is the forts were
silenced, to protect the city and immediately
follOw up the retreating garrison, so as to dc-
stroy the prestige of Arabi, and prevent the
rising from becoming- a general, national, or
religious movement. - .
The dilemma is unpleasant for any admirer
of England and her institutions; either she
is unable—through defective organization,
maladministration, lack of energy,or-too full
occupation of her resources nearer home—
either, we say, she is unable to collect upon
reasonable notice an expeditionary force of
ten or fifteen thousand men, or her govern-
ment lacked the wisdom to anticipate the in-
evitable necessity for such a force at a given
time, and proved their incompetency to di.
rect military expeditions abroad. The ex-
cuse that the exigencies of diplomacy tied
their hands is not a good one, for in this in-
stance there was at stake whatever of im-
portance the Suez canal and peace in Egypt.

The‘chiid's'word's set me thinking. I saw
my‘own boy in company with others of the
loosest and most unprincipled of men, and
perhaps women, spending his time in a way
which wouidwbreak’shis mother's heart. I
thought of my whité-haired, old father, and
my placid, amiablelold mother, both gone-{1-

”church in the old'i'icountry town, and its.
children followingfi‘il could not "sit another;

into dpew in theirear, heard the sermon, 'or
tried to hear it, for that boy's speech had
taken possession of my soul, and had filled
it. My wife was astonished to see me wait-

I ,would come and meet you," was all I
said.

' One .of JonathanEdwards’s contempora-
ries, the Rev: Dr. B.,'lin:an adjoining town,
discarded the sovereitof the Caivinistic dog-
mas. A notorious scamp in the town, much
affected in a revival, went to the Doctor and
said to him, in the religious parlance of the
time, “I realize that I am the chief of sin-
ners.” “Glad to hear it i" replied the domi-
nie, “your neighbors have long realized it i"
“I feel" persisted the whining penitent, “that
I am willing to be damned for the glory of
God." “Well,” responded the hard-hearted
preacher, “I don’t know anybody around
here that would have the slightoet objection 1"
One of J onstha'n Edwards’s daughters, who"
had some spirit of her own, had also a pro-
posalofmarriage. The youthwas referred to
her father. “No,” said that stern individual,
“you can't have my dsughter."r.f.‘jBut_'I love
her and she loves me," pleaded’tl'r'é ‘young

"I am well to do and can support her 1" ex-
plained the applicant. “Can’t have her l”
persisted the old man. “May I ask," meek-
ly inquired the" suitor,’ “if you. have heard
anything against my character f" “No i"
thundered the obstinate parent, by this time
aroused; “I haven’t heard anything against
you; I think you are a promising young man,
and that's why you can't have her. She’s got
a very bad temper and you wouldn’t be Lap-

“ That's something first 'I’ve "often heard

Gravesend bay fishornialr, in whose boat the
reporter was tossing. It‘ Was made fast to a
square of stakes ofi Coney Island beach,

sort, who, be he a goodeatholicmas‘little

join the crew, and -h accepted. After a
long pull they hauled-.toalongside the'long-
net, which, is so placed that the fishes follow
it up and are let into an 'interior net, from
which there is no escape. "Part of the crew
held the boat in place, while the ..rcst laid

tossed into the boat. “Th ‘re ain’t'nothln’

that they rolled along as,easy oil way as an-

A GIRL BLIND FROM BIRTH MADE 1‘ BE! BY‘
THE REMOVAL OF R CATARACT.
Those ‘who have read Wilkie ‘Colli'ns’s
“Poor Miss Finch,” says; the Rochester, (N.
Y.) Port, will readily recall Lucilla’gmisfor—
tune. blindness from birth, caused by cata-
racts. Dr. Grosse’s fallacies regarding the
struggles of sight to assert itself in persons
who have been blind for life,‘the illusions
of the patient regarding distance;" color,
forms, etc., will be remembered. 4Lucilla
could not, from restored sight, tell whether.
an object held before her was a cube
globe; whether a handk chief w ‘wllit'efiri
colored. She had,a.gr&_t“lrhrr‘o ,be film “I
think dark; that is, wheEsh‘e ' g * g" "
her imagination, Lucilla‘h' answers gtoiquds-
tions were put' to 'the t ‘ories of “_Sur éor'r
Optic Grease," and he w "pleased at the re.
sult of his skill. There ‘jin Rochester, at
the City hospital, at ”I? present tinip, the
counterpart of Lucille n all ’the realities,
but not in the “surgeon optic," his fallacies
and theories. The subject is Emmathrer;
straat, twelve years of age. She was rn
in Loets, Pomerania, Germany. She cam
to New YOrk city twoyears ago. On the
8th of April, this year, she came to Roches-
ter ‘and resided with her aunt on Hoelzer
street, her father and mother being deid.
TWO or three months of this time she passed
in the _blind asylum at._Batavia,- where III
learned to read raised letters by the touch.
Her trouble was congenital cataract, and
from birth she could only see so as to distin—
’guish between day and night. When taken
to the City hospital, the eminent occulist of
the. institution, after an examination, said
her. sight could be restored, and three weeks
ago he operated on the left eye, producing a
“rift in the cloud," which had shut out her
sight for so many years. The writer, inter-
ested in seeing her when the first test was
made, visited the hospital, and when the
bandage was removed by the surgeon she
told him she could see his fingers. A vase
of flowers was held before her, and she said
they were flowers and one of them red. She
told what other objects were, and their form.
“Dr. Grosses's” confirmed theories. “Poor
Miss Finch's" verification of‘the “sur eon
optics” fallacies were disproved, dispe led,
by this practical illustration, this fact. Em-
ma's sight continues to improve as the “rift
in the cloud” widens from absorption. No
further operation may be necessary, and
there is no ;question but that in good
time she may see “as others see." "The pa-,
tient sees and learns so gradually, the same
as a child-learning to read, that the mind is
educated to forms and distances easily. Cat-
aract patients never see instantly after the
operation. ‘ .

Kentucky’s PrettyGirls.
A correspondent writing from Paris, Ky. ,
says: “This is a thriving town of- 4,500 in-
habitants in the heart of the richest country
of the Blue Grass region, and with more
.pretty girls to the square yard than any other
part of Kentucky. In homely_ phrase “the
woods are full of 'em,” for, although the
state is noted for its pretty women, one can
scarcely turn around here without behold-
ing a vision of feminine loveliness like unto
the dream of Raphael. It ‘isn’t bought lova-
liness, either. There are no sickly girls
here. _The daughter of the Blue Grass-is a
little, finely formed girl, the picture of
health, whose sparkling eyes and rosy
cheeks make her seem‘ almost sweet enough
to eat. Whether after marriage she proves
like the wife of the man who told a sympa-
thizing friend that before he married his
wife'she was sweet enough to eat, but that
many times since he wished he had eaten
her, perhaps it would not be well to say,
but certain it is, they are pretty, and healthy
looking and entertaining, which require-
ments seem to be enough to satisfy the ordi-
nary Blue Grass beau. '

BY MISS FRANCIS BROWN.
Upon the white sea-sand
: ~ - There sat a pilgrim band
Telling the lossiug thattheir life had known;
While evening warmed away
From breezy cliff and bay
And the strong tides went out with weary
‘ moan.
One spake with quivering lip,
Of a fair freighted ship,
With all his household to the deep gone
' ' down ;
But one had wilder woe-—
For a fair face, long ago,
Lost in the, darker depths of a great town.
There were who mourned their youth
With a most loving ruth,
For, its brave hopes and memories ever green ;
And one upon the West
: Turned an eye that would not rest,
For far-off hills whereon its joy had been.
Somctalked of vanished gold
Some of proud honors told,
Some spake of friends who were their trust
no more; ' ~ 4
And one of a'greeu grave '
Beside a foreign :wave ‘ it"? "
That made him sit so lonely on the shore.
But when their tales were done,
_ There spake among them one,
A stranger, seeming from all sorrow free
“Sad losses ye have met,’
But mine is heavier yet,
For a believing heart is gone from me.”
“Alas," these pilgrims said,
“For'the living and the dead,
For fortune’s cruelty, for Lord’s sure. cross,
For the wrecks of land and sea!
But however it came to thee,
Thine, stranger, is life’s last' and heaviest
loss." —Lyrt’cs.

The Postillion of Nagold.
r or sooner. L. CATLIN.
A stranger came to Nagold tow
One stormy winter’s day, ' ’
A‘qneer old man with visage brown
And hair all streaked with gray—
Ajman of most forbidding ways;
His glance was shrewd and cold, '
And all his looks and’actions day
Of hard denial toldl '
He came at noon—the worthy dame
Who kept the inn—“The Bear"-— '
All vainly wondered whence he came,
Or what had brought him there.
He set apart and ate his bread
And drank his pint of wine.
“Iwant a coach,” at length he said,
At- three, for Adlerstein.”
“For Adlerstein f” the dame replied, '
“’Tis three good hours away;
The mountain streams are deep and wide,
Aud'waning is the day: '
By daylight there is naught to fear.
Our hearth is warm and bright; I
You'll find good cheer and comfort here;
Stay then and rest to—night.”
"He! What care I for~rain and sleet,
And perils you forbade,
With driver sure and horses fleet
I do nott fear the road."
The worthy hostess sighed “Ab, me!
I’ll not entreat him more."
Add, as the village clock struck three,
The coach was at the door.
The driver was Postillion Dom,
- “motes upon the bugle-horn
Were known the Schwarzald through;
And village maidens used to cast
Admiring glances‘down
Whenever he, with cheery blast
V Came dashing into;town.
Full half an hour thr‘ough mud and rain
The team had dashed along,
And Dorn had tried and tried again,
By merry jest and song,
And frequent word of cheer, to break
The silence so fcrlorn— V
'Twas vain. "At ;least,” :thought he, -“l’ll
wake
The echoes with the horn.”
Then first a martial air he played—
The air that he had learned
In days when armies stood arrayed
And blazing camp-fires'burned—,
An air that told of battle’s call,
0t carnage fierce and hot.
The stranger sat unmoved through all,
And seemed to hear it not.
“Aha i” quoth Dorn, "I’llftry again,”
Then ’midst the rpin and sleet,
He warbled forth a tender strain,
A love-song soft and. sweet.
Through wind-tossed pines the plaintive lay
Its murmuring echoes woke ;
Yet when its music diedaway, .
No word the stranger spoke.
Another hour in silence passed.
Each spectral bush and tree
Seemed mocking Dorn’s despair. At last
“I’ll try once more," said he,
Then, mid the blust’ring wintry gale,
In chorals grand and clear,
The “Lobe den Harm, meine Seek"
Broke on the 'stranger's ear.
Its solemn notes the echoes woke
Through dim-lit forest aisles
In sweet and pleading tones that spoke
Of Heaven and angels' smiles.
O'er every lonely mountain track
Its softened cadence stole,
And distant hillsides murmured back
“0h! love the Lord, my soul."
Then to the stranger's raptured gaze '
At that sweet hymn's command
Came back the scenes of boyhood’s days
Passed in that Suabian land—
His mother’s love, his father’s care,
And all the peace benign
That hovered round the hearthstone there
Long since at Adlerstein.
He saw the trees beneath whose shade
He used to sit and sing-
And where he’d plucked in sunny glade
Fresh'violets in spring:
The cross-tipped spire, and, standing near,
The church-yard on the knoll,
And ever sounding in his ear,
“Oh! love the Lord, my soul.”
The tears burst forth—he meekly bowed
His head upon his hand;
“God bless you now,” he subbed aloud,
This is my native land.
I’ve wandered from it far abroad
O’cr mountain, sea and plain,
My soul, indeed, doth love the Lord
Who brings me home again."
Postillion Dorn has now grown old,
Grandchildren round him play,
And be full off, I wot, has told
How Well he played that day.
Let's hope, in age, for memory’s sake
some brave l’ostilliOn Dorn, '
Fo‘r us, in turn, such notes may wake
Upon his bugle horn.
