After the Storm.
A night of storm had passed, still dark and
dreary. .
The early dawn had scarcely yet begun
As, from my restless couch. heart-sick and weary,
I rose, pewhaucc to greet the morning sun,
And felt, whate’er the coming morn might be,
it scarce could bring one cheering ray to me.
But while with wistful eyes I watched this scene. .
The clouds I saw were breaking here and there;
One spot of sky appeared, behind the screen
Of filmy vapor in the upper air:
The storm I saw was passing; soon the sun would
shine,
Though faintly; on this troubled soul of mine.
E’cn then. while yet I gazed. the morning star
Shone out between the broken clouds and sky;
One gleam appeared from that bright world afar,
Casting its radiance on my upturned eye:
Telling in words Icculd not fail to hear. "
“ Above the clouds ’tls always bright and clear."
“Here then, and now," I said, "I’ll lay to heart
The lesson taught me by this vision rare:
Though sad my life, though health and friends
depart,
Cain: skies lie yet beyond; why then despair?
Look up, my soul! there’s hope for thee in store.
Trust thou that guide that leads thee cvcrmcre.
“ What though to thee the road seemshard and
steep? '
E’en though dark clouds obscure the morning
light,
Trust then in God; his loving hand shall keep
Thy feet from hurtful snares, thy pathway
bright:
Ere long the morn will break; then Joys sublime
Will llil thy soul beyond the bounds of time.

Her Jealousy.
“You may not be jealous, but I am
sure I should be.‘
This was Clemontina’s climax to the '
story she had been telling pretty Marian
Noble about her betrothed lover, and
Marian had hard work to keep her face
composed and her voice steady as she
replied: '
"I should be sorry tobc jealous of
Frank, Tina, unless I had very strong
proof of his want of fait.
“Proof." Tina cried, her voice shrill
with amazement. “ Ishould think there
was proof enough. I tell you I saw the
flowers and fruit myself, and he calls
nearly every day. "
Just a little troubled look in Marion’s
eyes gave Tina stimulus to go 011. She
had put forth her own powers of attrac-
lion in full force to try to win the affec-
tion of Frank Bradshaw, Marion's be-
trothed, and as a congenial task to try to
sow discord between the love1s if she
could.
“ After all, ". she said. " Mr. Bradshaw
is a stranger in Kcyport. Nobody here
ever saw him until after his uncle died,
and he came to take possession of his
house and fortune. And now this mys-
terious woman appears, and is installed
in one of the houses that form a part of
old Mr. Bradshaw’s estate. You know
the house, the cottage at the foot of
. Myrtle Hill, where the Sheltons lived so
long. The servant 13 old and as deal as
a post, or I should have found out moro
for you.
“ Please don't say for me,” said Mar-
ian. “ I am nOt trying to find out any-
thing."
Tina looked angry, changed her mind,
and smiled, saying pleasantly:
“You will thank me one day, if you
do not now. I have done my duty in
telling you what I know. Good-by
now; I will call in again tomorrow." '
“ Good-by."
Marian controlled voice and face till her
visitor was gone, and then ran to her
own room'for a good cr'y.¥ ~.J31:t the room
was not the wing: she 110pcd to find it,
for Hester was there. -
They were orphan sisters, Marian and
Hester, and the pretty blown-eyed girl
who had wonFrank Bradshaw's love was
fifteenyears the younger. Hester was a
widow when her mother and father died,
leaving Malian a child of nine years. and
since that time had been both mother
and sister tothe gi1-.l So, ofter- alittle

The elder sister, gentle and loving, did
not. try to check the weeping she saw
was the relief of an overburdened heart,
but when Marian had sobbod herself
quiet she said. softly:
“ What 1s the matter, Marian ? I' saw
Tina Delmont going out—has she made.
mischief ?”
“ It' IS about Frank, Hester. I would
not let her see that I cared, but her
story troubles me. I‘don’t mean thatI
.um jealous, but it hurts me to feel he
has any secret from me.’
, “What did Tina tell you 1"
"You remember the cottage at the
foot of Myrtle H111. whens the Sheltons
lived so long? It is part of old Mr.
Bradshaw’s property. Tina says that
nearly two weeks ago furniture was taken
there, carpets put down, and the house
made ready for tenants, who came in the
night, nobody knows from where. There
is an old servant. very deaf. who does all
the marketing and out-door errands, and
a very beautiful girl, who has been seen
sometimes at the window. Three people
went from the carriage to the house, but
only these two have ever been seen.
But, Hester, Tina says that every day
Frank’s gardener carries a basket of the
choicest fruit from his place, and a b011-
quot of his loveliest flowers to the cot-
tage, and she has seen him going in
several times." .
“ Why net ask Frank 1"

him, or was prying into his privhtc

Hester did not reply. It certainly did

give Marian pain 01' to think evil of
Frank, whose handsome face, cordial
manner and straightforward wooing had
won her warm sistorly afi'oction.’ She
had been glad to see her sister‘s future
promise so much happiness, as she
thought it would have in Frank Brad-
shaw's care; and any cloud that threat
oned Marian' s sunshine was a shadow on
Hester' s life as well.
On the other hand. why, if his love

Frank Bradshaw’s love. And he had
chosen Marian. True. Maricnwas very
pretty, graceful and accomplished, but
the sisters were joint heirossos of a
very small cottage, and. on income that ‘
required close economy to feed and
clothe them without debt. Marian had
never owned, even for “very best." such
dresses as Tina Dclmont were for every-

and he was not accustomed to the curi-

himself in arranging his uncle's estate‘-

It was? isle on the liftcrnqon‘ofte:
Tina's call that Hester came to Marion's
room to tell her that Frank had called to
take be: for a drive.
“ Take a shawl, Marian," said the care-
ful elder sister; “ the eveningS‘ are grow-
ing cold. And, Marian." she added,
drawing her sister into a' close embrace.
“trust him. Icannot believe there is
any wiong hidden behind his honest,
good face."
“I will trust him." Mariun' said. “In
his own good time he will tell me what
it is best for me to know." I
So the face that greeted Frank was as
bright and nnclondod as the sky above
their heads, and Marian chattodas pleas-
antly as if the little cottage at tho fo'ot of
Myrtle Hill had never cost her a
thought.
But Frank's "good time" for telling
his secret was nearer than she thought.
They were driving slowly through a
long stretch of shady road when he
said:
“ Marian, could you do something
very painful to your feelings for my
cake ‘1'"
A "IthinkI could, Trunk.”
“I must tell you- something about
myself first. I was not always the rich
man you have known, Marian. When
my parents died, I was clad of twelve
years only, and my whole fortune lay
in my robust health and an average
supply of brains. But I was ambitious
and willing to work, and entered a large
dry-goods store as errand boy. gradually
working my.' way to n. clerkship, where I
was when my uncle died and left me
independent. But in the years of pov-
erty and toil, Marian. 9: my father's
brother gave me no aid from his full

because he died without a will, ide

only child. It was from my mother's
sister, a widow poor as myself, that my
boyhood had loving care and tender ,

child, supported herself by-sewing, but
she gave me a room in her tiny house,
shared her scanty food with me. taught
me after I was obliged to‘loave school, '
and gave me as tender care'as she gave
her own daughter, Minnie. .
“I repaid her love by my own sincere
affection. and, as I grew older. tried to
fill a son’s place to her, a brother’s to
Minnie. We were happy in spite of
our poverty, 'until a year ago, when a
terrible misfortune fell upon us, ‘:My
aunt's little house, all she could call her
own an the world, caught fire. and was
totally destroyed with everything it
contained. Worst of all. Aunt Clara
herself, in trying to save some of her
clothing, was horribly burned about the
neck, arms and face. For ,sovoral
months she lay in the hospital, suffering
tortures, butIsho recovered at last; most
dreadfully disfigured for life. P
“ We were all boarding in New York
when the news of my uncle's death
reached me, and I came to Keyport. It
took me some weeks to prove my claims,
to take possession of my inheritance.

offer. Her terrible misfortune hasImado

There is just ncwo revival-01th..

course some particular sphere must

Cashmere's Capitol and Its People.

tilted by.an earthquake, is a kingdom in
the northwest port of India, including
the vale of Cashmere, mode famous by the
poet Moore. Soringur. the capital, has
a population of oboutono hundred and
and thirty-five thousand. It extends
about four miles along both ,sidocofIIo
doopsnd placid stream, about three
hundred feet wide. From its delightful
situation and innumerable canals, Scr-
ingur has been called the Vonicoof Asia;
but the city is, for the most part.
extremely filthy. The houses. which
no generally dilapidated, are built of
'thin bricks. with thither frames, many
of them three stories high. Sixty thou-
sand persons can worshipin the mosque.

Frederick Douglass, in his “Iiife,”
speaking of travel in the old anti-slavery
timeli 8038' ”My treatment in the use
of public conveyances at those times
was extremely rough. especially of: the
Eastern railroad from Boston to Port-
land. , On that road, as on many others.
there was a menu. dirty and uncomfort-
able our set apart for colored travellers,
called the 'Jim Crow' car. Regarding
this as the fruit of slave-holding preju-
dice, and being determined to fight the
spirit of slavery wherever I might find'
it, I resolved to avoid this. car, though
it sometimes required some courage to
do so. Thecolored people generally
accepted the situation, and complained
of me as makingimatters worse rather
than better by refusing to submit to the
proscription. I. however. persisted,
and sometimes was soundly boatenby
0:: one 00-
casion, six of those.‘fellows of the base:-
sort,‘ under the direction of the con-
ductor. set out to eject me from ’my m1
As usual. I had purchased a first-class
ticket, and paid the required sum for it,
and on the requirement of the conductor
to leave, refused todo so. when he called
lnthesomon lto Bamako me out) Thby
attempted in obey, with an if:- whiph'
plainly told me they relished the job.
They, however, found me much attached
in my seat. and .in removing me I tore
1wa two or three; of tho'surrounding
ones, on which I hold with a firm grasp.
and did the car no service in some other
respects. I was strong and muscular, ‘1
and tho sects-were not then sofirmly- ‘
Acttschcdor of as solid make as now.
The result was-that Stephen A. Chase,
superintendent of the road, ordered all
passenger trains to pass tincugh Lynn
(where I then lived) without stopping.
Thiswas a great inconvenience to the
people, large numbers of whom. did
business in Boston and at other points
Bufium and others, the people of Lynn
stood bravely by me and denounced the
railroad management in emphatic terms.
Mr. Chase made 'reply that a railroad
corporation was neither a religious nor a
roformatory body; - that the road was
run for the accommodation of the pub-
lic, and that it required the exclusion
of colored people from the cars. With
an air of triumph he told us thatjwe
ought not expect the railroad company
to abolish the negro car. This argu-
ment was certainly good enough as
against the Church. but good for nothing
as against the demands for justice mm
equality. On the Sound steam-
bonts no colored man was allowed abaft
the wheel, and in all seasons of the year,
in heat or cold. wet or dry, the deck was
his only place. If I would lie downat
night I must do so upon the freight
on deck, and this in cold weather was
not a very comfortable bed. . . Wen-
doll‘I’hillips would never go into a first-
cluss car-while I was forced into what
was called the ‘Jim Crow' car. I have
known James Monroe to pull his coat
about him and crawl upon the cotton
bales between docks and pass the night
with me without a murmur."

Pocket Gold Hunting in Canton];
The pocket-hunter is a comparatively
new-comer in the California country,
and only made his appearance during
the last year ands half. Ho,t00,is c

massesoffiintyrock. Hooxpoctstodig
'thclo 1n the earth the size of a barrel.
and take therefrom a fortune in the pure
article. His hop. are neither ground-
less nor without precedent. Anumbor
of pockets and soul: dopoms have been
found, some containing a few ounces and
others thousands of dollars.
II was shown a hole o‘yard square. from
111.1011 nearly aim thousand dollars was
recently taken. The dopositwu found
within a foot of the surface, on a hillside.
These pocket deposits are found in
various formations, and "scientific fol-
lows" don't succeed well in locating them
either. They are usually found in de-
composed quartz, in . clay scams and
sometimes in west: gravel. The mode of
prospecting for pockets is simple, but it,
too, requires hard work and faith. The
pocket-hunter selects a section where
extensive placer-ruining has been done
and where the yield was rich. He con-
jecturos that the gold came from some-
:where, and he follows the gulches as for
upstream as they have been worked, and
- there takes pans of dirt from the surface
and hillsides. If he obtains a ” color,"
or speck of gold, from the surface, it is
a fine prospect. and he follows the trace
carefully, taking the next pan-full of
dirt to be washed from higher ground,
and so on until the prospect fails; then
he digs for the deposit. Occasionally it
is there.
The winter season is the most favorable
for prospecting in this manner, as every
gulch then contains sufiicient water for
panning, while during the summer the
prospector must either follow water-
courses or carry dirt long distances to
streams, and therepcn it.
There are those who frequently find
pockets, and though the dopodts arenot
large, they prosper moderately well in
the uncertain occupation, and appear
cheerful, confident, and always possessed
of '1: little money. I am inclined to
think, however, that, considering the
number engaged, the fortunate ones are
few; and, forthe amount of labor per-
formed, I am forced to believe that
both prospectors and pockotchuuters
are scantily paid. 9

uncommon“ EVIDENCE.
The danger of relying too strongly on,
circumstantial evidence 1n murder trials
was forcibly illustrated recently' in the
also of Miss Journeaux of the island of
Jersey. This lady, it will be remem-
bered, went out for a short row with a
male companion named Fame. and after
they had rowed some distance be lost
his cars overboard and leaped into the
water to regain them. He could not got
back to the boat, as the tide was running
rapidly, and Miss Journeaux soon lost
sight of him, though he managed to
touch the shore.’.'1'h‘is was onSunday

day morning, when she was picked up
by a French fishing vessel of St. Male.
She was kindly treated by the captain
and crew, and landed, after a voyage
of twenty-six days, on the Shore of
St. George's Bay, Newfoundland, from
whence she was sent to St. John's to
wait foruvossel bound to France. In
the meanwhile Fame was arrested for
murder and imprisoned, and was not set

How difl‘eront matters might hav ,
turned out if Miss Journoaux had bee:
lost at sea ! He might have been hung for
a crime which he never committed, and all
his protestations of innocence would
have been regardodasfho wild pleadings

penalty of his misdeeds. No power on
earth could probably have saved him,
and he would have gone down to posters

brow. Only the interposition of Divine
Providence seems to have saved his neck
from the halter. The opponents of cap.

ment in this case for the abolishmeut of
