With a fiding of shelter and infinite rest.

Your glances seemed' drawing piy soul through

Life had for me then no temptations or charm
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms :
And were I this instant on angel possessed
Of the glory and peace that are given the Most
I would fling my white robes unrepiuingly dowu
And take from my forehead its beautiful crown
To ncstlo ouce more in that huven of rest.
With your lips upon mine, and my bead" on

You kissed me ! my soul in a bliss so divine.

While your arms wrapt mc close in that pas

A Bachelor's Defence. Bachelors
are styled by married men "who hav
"rot their foot in it, as only half-perfected
beings, cheerless vagabonds, but half a
pair of scisiors, and many other ridicu
lous titles are given to them ; while on
the other hand they extoll their state as
one of so perfect a buss that a change
irom eartn to neaven would be some
what of a doubtful good. If they arc
so happy, why don't they enjoy their
happiness and hold their tongues about
it t hat do hair the men get married
for ? Simply that they may have some
body to darn their stockings, sew but
tons on their shirts and trot babies
that they may have somebody, as a mar
ried man said once, ''to pull off their
boots when they are a little balmy."
These fellows are always talking about
the loneliness of bachelors. Loneliness
indeed ! Who is petted to death, by la
dies with marnagaeble daughters invited
to tea and evening parties, and told to
drop in just when it was convenient ?
The bachelor.
Who lives in clover all bis days, and
when he dies has flowers strewn over his
grave by the girls that could not entrap
him r he bachelor.
Who strews flowers over the married
man's grave the widow ? Not muchly;
she pulls down the tombstone that six
week's grief had set up in her heart; she
goes and gets married again, she does.
Who goes to bed early because time
hangs heavily on his shoulders ? The
married man.
Who gets a scolding for picking out
the softest part of the bed, and for wak
ing up the baby in the morning ? The
married man.
Who has wood to split, house hunting
and marketing to do, the young ones to
wash and lazy servants to look after ?
The niaried man.
Who is taken up for whipping his wife?
The married man.
Who gets divorces ? The married
man.
Finally, who has got the scriptures on
his side? the bachelor. St. Paul
knew what he was about when he said :
"He that marries does well, but he that
marries not does better."

A STRAMGE STOltV.
Late one nijrht in June two gentlemen
arrived at the Villa Hotel of tho Hat ha
of Lucca. They stopped the law biilzka.
in which they traveled, and leaving a
servant to make arrangements for their
lodging, linked arms and strolled u; the
road toward the banks of the Lima.
Tho moon was checkered at that moment
with the poised leaf of a tree-top,, aud as
it passed from her face she arose and
stood alone in thfe steel-blue of the un
clouded heavens a lutuiniou-i and trem
ulous plate of gold. And you know how
beautiful must have been the night a
J unc night in Italy, with a moon at the
full!
A lady, with a servant following her
at a little distance, passed the travelers
ou the bridge of the Liin.-t. She dropped
her veil aftd went by iu silence. Hut
the Frcyherr felt the arm of his friend
tremble within his own.
"Do you know her, then?" asked
Von Leisten.
"Jiy the thrill of my veins, we have
met before," said Clay ; "but whether
this U'lvolitutary sensation wa3 pleasurable
or paintul, 1 have not -et decided
mere are none l care to meet none
who can be here." lie added the last
few words alter a moment's pause, and
sadly.
Thev walked on ia silence to the base
of the mountain, busy each with such
coloring as tho moonlight threw on their
t noughts : out nietner ot tnem were
happy.
I, lay was humane, ana a lover ot na
ture a poor, that is to say and, in a
world so beautiful, could never be a prey
to disgust : but he wa3 satisfied with the
common emotions of life. I lis heart
lorever overflowing, haa hilea many a cup
with love, but with strange tenacity ho
turned back forever to the first. lie was
weary of the beginnings of'love weary of
its probations and changes. lie had
passed the period ot life when inconstan
cy was tempting. He longed now for an
affection that would continue into another
world holy and pure enough to pass a
gate guarded by angels. And his first
love recklessly as he had thrown it awav
was now the thirst of his existence.
It was two o'clock at night. The moon
lay broad on the southern balconies of
the hotel, and every casement was open
to its luminous and fragrant stillness.
Clay and the Frcyherr, Von Leisten,
each in his apartment, were awake, un
willing to lose the luxury of the night.
And there was one other under, that
roof walking, with her eyes fixed on the
moon.
A.s Clay leaned his head on his hand
and looked outward, toward the skye, his
heart began to be troubled. There was
a point in the path of the moon's rays
where his spirit turned back. There was
an influnce abroad in the dissolving moon
light around him which resistlessly awake
ned the past the sealed but unlorgotten
past. He could not single out the emo
tion. He knew not whether it was fear
or hope, pain or pleasure. He called
through the open wiudow, to Von Leis-ton.
The Freyherr, like himself, and like
all who had outlived'the effervescence of
life, was enamored of the night. A mo
ment of unfathomable moonlight was
dearer to him than hours disenchanted
with the sun. He, too, had been look
ing outward and upward, but with no
trouble at his heart.
The night is inconceivably sweet."
he said, as he entered, "and your voice
called in my thought and sense from the
intoxication of a revel. What would
you, my mend :
"I am restless, Von Leisten ! There
is some one near us whose glances cross
mine on tho moonlight and agitate and
perplex me. Vet there wa3 but one on
earth deep enough in the life-blood of
being to move me thus, even were she
here ! And she is not here V
II is voice trembled and softened, and
the last word was scarce audible on his
closing lips, for the Frayherr had passed
his hands over him while lie spoke, and
he had fallen into the trance of the spirit-world.
Clay and Von Leisten had retired
from the active passions of life together.
and had met and ruin tried at that mn.
raent of void and thirst when each sun-
plied the want of the other. The Frey
herr was a German noble, of a charaetpr
passionately poetic, and of singular ac
quirement in the mystic fields of knowl
edge. Too wealthy to need labor, nnrl
too proud t5 submit' the thoughts of
his attainments to the criticism or iudo-p.
ment of tho world, he lavished on his
own life, and on those linked to him in
friendship, the powers ho had acauired
and the prodical overthrow of his daily
uiuugtii nu jeeiing. tjiay was Ins su
perior, perhaps, in genius, and necessity
had driven him to develope the type of
his inner soul and leave its imnresa nn i
the time ; but he was far inferior to
Von Leisten in the power of will, and be
ay iu uia cumroi use a cuiia in its moth
er s. Hour years they had passed to
gether much of it in the secluded castle
of Von Leisten, busied with the occult
studies to which the Freyherr was se
cretly devoted ; but traveling flown to
taly to meet the luxurious summer, and
dividing their lives between the enjoy
ment of nature and the ideal world they
had. unlocked. Von Leisten had lost, bv
could alone
ie hurn the incense ot love
and Clay had flung

T.ie Frayherr released the entran
ced spirit of his friend, and bade
him follow back the rays of the in 0011 to
the source of his agitation.
A smile crept slowly over the speakers
lips.
In an apartment flooded with the sil
ver luster of the moon, reclined, in air
invalid's chair, propped with pillows, a
woman of singular though most fragile
beauty. Books and music lay strewn
around, and a lamp, subdued to the tone
of nxnh.'ht by an orb of alabaster,-

moou. A profusion of brown ringlets
fell over the whits dress that enveloped
her, and her oval cheek lay supported
on the palm of her hand, and her bright
red lips were parted. The pure yet pass
ionate spell of that soft night possessed
her.
Over her leaned tho disscmbodicd spirit
of hiiu who had once loved her, praying
to God that his soul might bo so purified
as to mingle unstartingly, unrcpulsively,
in hallowed harmony with hers. And pres
ently he felt the coming of angels toward
him, breathing into tho deepest abysses
of his existence a tearful and purifying
sadness. And with a trembling aspira
tion of-grateful humility to his Maker,
he stooped to her forehead, and with h is
impalpable lips impressed upon its snowy
tablet a kiss, j
it seemed to Jvc Gore a thought of
the past that brought the blood suddenly
to her cheek. She started from her re
clining position, and, removing the ob
scuring shade from her lamp, arose s nd
crossed her hands upon her wrists and
paced thoughtfully to and fro. Her lips
murmured inarticulately. But the
thought, painfully' -though it came.
changed unaccountably to a melaticholy
sweetness ; and, subduing her lamp
again, she resumed her steadfast gaze
upoii the moon.
, Ernest knelt beside her, and, with his
invisible brow bowed down on her baud,
poured fourth, iu the voisless language
ot the soul his memories of the pasthis
hope, his repentanee, his pure and pas
sionate adoration of the present hour.
And thinking she had been in a sweet
dream, yet wondering at its truthfullness
and power, Eve wept silently and long.
As the morning touched the east, slum

and, kneeling by her bedside, she
murmured her gratitude to God for a
heart relieved of a burden long borne,

risen late. But though subdued and
pensive in her air, Vo:i Leisten saw at a
glance that she. was happy.

It was in the followin
the month of 3Iay. The gay world of
England was concentrated iu London,
aud at the entertainments of noble houses
there were many beautiful women aud
many marked men. The Frayherr Von
Leisten, after years of absence, had ap
peared again. His mysterious and un
deniable superiority of mien and influ
ence was again yielded to, as before, and
again brought to nis leet the homage ana
doference of the crowd he moved among.
To his inscrutable power the game of
society was easy, and he walked where
he would "through its barriers of form.
He stood one night looking on at a
dance. A lady of noble air was near
him, and both were watching the move
ments of the loveliest woman present a
creature in radiant health, apparently
about twenty-three, and of a matchless
facination of person and manner. Von
Leisten turned to the lady near him to
inquire her name, but his question was
arrested by tho resemblance between her
and the object of his admiring curiosity,
and he was silent.
The lady had bowed before he with
drew his gaze, however.
"I think we have met before," she
said : but at the next instant a slight
flush of displeasure came to her check,
and she seemed regretting that she had
spoken.
"Pardon me," said Von Licston, "but,
if the question be not rude, do you re
member where ?"
She hesitated a moment. ' -
"I ' have recalled it since I have
spoken," she continued; "but as the re
membrance of the person who accompan
ied you always, gives me pain, I would
willingly have unsaid it. One evening
last year, crossing the bridge of the Lima,
you were -walking ' with Mr. Clay.
Pardon me ; but, though I left Lucca,
with my daughter on the following morn
ing, and saw you no more, the association,
or your, appearance, had imprinted the
circumstance on my mind."
"And is that Eve Gore ?" said Von
Leisten, musingly gazing on the beauti
ful cretature now gliding with light step
to her mother's side. ,
But the Freyherr's heart was gone to
his friend.
As the burst of the waltz broke in up
on the closing of the quadrille, he offered
his hand to the fair girl, and, as they
moved around with the entrancing music,
lie murmured in her ear, "He who came
to you in the moon - light of Italy will
he with you again, if you are alone,
at the rising of to-night's late moon.
Believe the voice that then speaks , to
iuve, letting her hand
LeistenV and bending
eyes, inquiringly on his.
And with no arguroent but tears and
caresses, and an unexplaiued assurance
of her conviction of the repentant purity
and love of him to whom her heart was
once given, that confiding and Ktrong
hearted girl bent, at last, the stern will
that forbade her happiness. Her mother
unclasped the slight arms from her neck,
nd gave her hand in silent consent to
Von Leisten.
The Frayherr stood a moment with his
eyes fixed on the ground. The color
fled from his cheeks, and his brow moist
ened. '
"I have called him !" he said; "he will
be here !" . ;
An hour elapsed and Clay entered the.
house. He had risen from a bed of sick-1
ness, and came, pale and in terror for!
the spirit-summons was powerful. But1
Von Leisten welcomed him at the door
with a smile, and withdrew the mother
from the room ; and left Ernest alone
with his future bride the first union,
save in! spirit, after years of sepcration.

Vice Prksident Colfax. Our Vice
President elect, Schuyler Colfax, recently
made a speech at a New England dinner,
in which he referred to the growth of the
United States as the result of the grand
eur of American citizenship. !In the
course of his remarks ho said : j
"It is the shield of American citizen
ship which shall make us proud and.
potential and lift up our country to a
prouder position among the nations. It
is that which, is to teach those who are
clothed with the solemu trust of repre
senting this great realm of freemen, who
rule here not by divine right but by free
institutions, that when they stand speak
ing for us at the bar of any civilized na
tion in the world they shall not, on the
one hand, disgrace us by by boastful gas
conade, nor, on the other, dishonor us by
bowing the knee. Then, wheu with that
self-reliance, that calm, that dignified
American nationality, wc command the
A. . . 1
respect 10 wiucn our great lesources
and unequaled trials, which we have sur
vived so gloriously and auspiciously, en
title us, then wc need not go into markets
of the world to offer gold and silver to
induce those islands of the sea and adia
cent States and provinces to cast in their
mite with us, to share with our future.
I feel ashamed as an American when I
hear of proffers of soil and. sovereignty to
men women and children with gold and
silver from our national treasury, to share
with us in the magnificent future. As
you would spurn a bride that is bought
with silver as a fair woman would spurn
a husband who had been lured to her
side by her wealth instead of her heart,
so we, as Americans should devote our
nationality to win those who are near- to
us in territorial congeniality to cast in
their lot with us. When voluntarily and
in a body they ask to share with .us in
our destiny and our future, we j should
then welcome them into the fold of
American citizens."
Death from Swallowino a Pin.
A London- paper gives an instance of
death resulting from the swallowing a
pin. The deceased was a girl of eleven
years of age, and had been ill for a year
and a half, during which time she had
tecome subject to fits. After her death,
a post mortem examination of the body
was made, when, in removing tho liver
for examination, something pricked the
operator's finger, and, on further search,
he found a pin, which had penetrated
the liver, the head of it being still in the
stomach. The pin had been swallowed
at least two years before, and had taken
an inward course, producing the fits, con
comitant pains, and eventually death.
