1 FEEDAY OCTOBER 20, 187G. DIG FOB IT AT HOME. Would you have the shining metal ? Do not, o'er the wide world roam, Following a fleeting phantom Stay and dig for It at home. Do not heed the luring story Treasures dibtant hillsides hold; Ten adventurers, disappointed, Stand for every ounce of gold. Wishing still for something better, Many lancles youth will rear; Mountains or the yellow mica In the distance gold appear. And the longing Is contagious. Drinking Irom a leaden cup, For the means of grander living, On highways to pick It up. But Dame Fortune is too tickle In her train afar to roam; Would you win her golden treasure, Stay and dig for It at hornet In the land that lies before you Find your wealth by honest toll; Never votary disappointed Ilightly bought that generous soil. Only faint, weak hearts, repining. Cast away the good at hand, Fortune's smiles will rarely crown tlietu Sought for in a distant land. Hut success rides on before you; Grapple it and you will win; Lo ! e'en now the mists are rifting And the tides are rushing in. Let no foreign expedition Lure your restless steps to roam; Gold is nearer than the mountains Stay and dig lor it at home. . Edith Orofton. IiV E. II. BLISS, M. D. There dwelt, at the time ray storv commences, in a suite of rooms situated in a modest brown stone front, located on a fashionable, though by no means conspicuous street in tue town or Jj , a widow lady and daughter, madam and Edith Crofton, as they were known by a few choice friends. Both mother and daughter were fine. well-bred people, while the daughter possessed not only rare beauty, but also an exquisite musical talent, which made her much sought after by people 01 nigu ranK ana cultivated tastes. Sweet Edith Crofton! What nen could do thy beauty justice, or delineate the spell that ever came over those that paid thee nomacre? Surely not mine. for though I knew thee well, yet age placed a barrier for a stronger affection than friendship between us. If rare cerulean eyes, that seemed to chauce with every emotion, and a wealth of sunny tresses, smoothed over a well formed brow, a brow that bespake tlv genius, a brilliant, clear complexion, pearly teeth, and thin, curling lips, could give thy appearance as then, still tnou wouidst be as undentied as the an gels. There was an unspeakable deli cacy of expressipn in the fair contour of tier features which had once told of an exquisite, high-wrought organization a creature sensitive to the slightest nreatu ot uarsuncss m the common moods of life. In the uneventful flow of her young existence passing under the loving eye . r i. . -1 i .j. oi tier raoiuer, it seemea as it no sever ing hand could ever come in between, They were not people given to ostenta tious display, attended but few recen tions, and received only a chosen coterie of friends. Still those who knew of them in a casual way at fashionable gatherings of the elite would in some manner manage to nav their regards. happy, indeed, if successful in entering me circle oi inenusuip. Such as proved themselves worthy, Edith and her mother treated most irra- ciously. It would seem, knowim? and understanding in the truest meaning of me word cuaracter as sue did, very strange that that same knowledge should have been the misguiding power alter an. Tears start in my eyes even now. old and gray as I am, as I think how, after all these years, this should have been; how that in the bright spring time of her life Edith Crofton should, have made such a mistake, and all for the sake of love, that old, old story, that has been. and always will be, for aught the pres ent and the past shows, the great dicta tor of people's minds. Smile as we may at the demonstrative devotee of Cupid, or the unwise and ra9h who fall head long Into the abvss of affection, whollv lost for the time to sober thought, it does not for a moment alter the truth that deep-rooted love knows no power of reason. So when the young and handsome captain an Englishman was an nounced as the suitor for Edith's hand. a strong feeling of distrust came over me. For the first time in her life I felt that Edith Crofton was acting against the dictates of her mind. That feeling was made stronger upon my "introduc tion. I could seo that the mother shared my views, never appearing at ease m uis presence, ano, wuen trie in terview was over, stehinir audiblv. while Edith went to the adjoining upn.riaieni, anu seemed lost in a beauti ful extravaganza from Faust. "Well, what do you think of the cap tain?" softly asked the widow. I felt that I was not called upon for a cauuiu repiy, so said, m a general way", that he appeared quite distinguished. The widow seemed somewhat relieved at my answer, and volunteered me a de scription of his antecedents. "I learned that he was reported in first circles as being nobly born, holding a commission in the English army, and ujjpareuwy wiinoui moral mar or blera ish; yet," and I could see that she IipsI tated, while a quiver came into her voice, "idon'b more than half like him, UUU IUIU J1.UU11 SO." "What! doesEdith encourace his .if. tentions, with the undisguised avowal of your disannroval. madam?" "Ko, not that, not that," she said. "I never have told her to whollv discour age his coming here, but it seems as if iney taiKea too much, and of other things than events of the day." "Then, madam, to speak plainly, I nave my uouots aoout uis being any thing more than a mere adventurer, and as that accusation cannot be verified at present, you should at once breakup the growing intimacy." We parted with the understanding Linxv j. was io ue caueu upon in tne ad vent of difficulty arisltig in getting rid of the captain. Soft strains of music floated through the hall as I stood but toning my gloves now low and soft as the cadence breathed over an evening onugeiiiiB wauz, weird, sliad- uji mujusi, uureai, in its superb play- in x ouuuuneu ai ine niuueu mean- ing conveyed in those passages by the player tingled on my ear. What would be the result? Two cultivated souls (the captain was 'refined and unprinci pled) meeting, and on the brink of a di vine passion. Faugh! it must not be. Days passed, and the widow sent word that Captain Morris visited them no more. She had firmly forbade Edith's receiving him, and to all appearances the would-be suitor was non est. She appeared in a much better frame of mind when next I called, and evi dently relieved at her success. Edith herself looked a little careworn, I thought, and a trifle red around the eyes, as if it had coat her a pang to give him up. "Time will make things much the same as before," we thought, that is, her mother and I. Of course one must not expect to get over a first Jove at once. Alas; now mue, inaeed, sometimes, are our convictions verified. Affairs were soon completely reversed. Tue next morning after mv visit a a letter was laid on my table, and I saw it was ine widow's handwriting. It read : "Jfr. irall:C,ann nr. nnro. TMitli has gone atvhy, and I know not what has befallen her. Come, for old friend ship's sake, that we may, if possible, de- vise-a speeuy way to nnu uer. (Japtain Morris obtained admittance last night in my aosence: l iear be Has been the cause of her departure. E. C." What should I do? Indeed, there was but one thing that I could do fol low the wishes of the widow and find her child if possible, to bring to bay the man whom we both felt would de sert her at last. By the aid of the telecrranh we lfiirnnd that two persons answering our fugi tives' uescnptions Had been seen In JNew York entering a covered carriaee. whence they proceeded waterward. That was the clue that sent me on their track, and across the ocean in the next steamer, arriving, in Liverpool weeks and weeks before information came that my prey were disembarking irom asailing snip in the river Thames. un toLionuon as last as the iron horse could go, but again to be eluded. They had gone to Paris. There, after months of search, I gained a clue which took me to a house in tue .Latin (luartier nart oi tue city. It was a tumble-down old affair, with quaint cut-glass casements, through which the light of day rarely shone. It was a house of refuge, I had learned be fore starting upon my errand. At the door they informed me it was a private resort ior tne insane. "Great Heaven ! A mad-house, and luiun uroiton nerei" I exclaimed. "What! Edith Crofton?" shrieked the old woman, in my ear. "No such person here none but gentlefolks oc cupy tins house!" And she made a motion to slam the door in my face. "Not so fast, madam; you may be mistaken, and so may I. Is there not a fair-haired lady among your patients ?' She paused for a moment, and seemed to recollect that I, being a foreigner. might afford something in the way of remuneration. A lew coins elicited the fact that there was a young American lady among the patieuts who had been placed there by some benevolent people. She had been deserted by an officer, so they said, left penniless and destitute to roam the streets of Paris. Twice she had leaped into the Seine, and been re suscitated only with the greatest diffi culty. The wretch who abandoned her left no money or means to further her miserauleexlstence. Ithad satisued him to see his fatal power workingaround her heart, until, tircu ot tue marriage, he deserted her in a strange city. Imagine her misery to find, at last, the whole bitter fact lying in one word, "deserted," before her! And she had loved him with such a love as could forgive most minor sins, but now he had left her, left her to starve or die in the streets. Was it then a matter of wonder that the brain, chafed by neglect and sorrow, should at last go crazed, and she. a noor. wandering outcast, at last drift to a mad-house l Poor Edith Crofton ! how like her of old, and yet how changed! Her once dark, expressive eyes were dull and meaningless now, as if the beautiful light of day had been forever shut out from them. I fancied she might im prove under skilled treatment, which proved true; but never did her reason return to its basis'again. Obeying the wishes of h.er mother, I brought her back. But few recognized in the quiet, deeply-vailed lady who sat on the steamer's deck in warm days, a victim of hard, relentless fate. Her mind was only a little o'erbalanced, and she harmed no one by her soft mutter ings of silks and palaces and gaudy things that be had promised her. How his promise was fulfilled should be a warning to every noble-minded but im pulsive maiden in the laud. It was also my painful task to bring her to her old home and mother. But I could not bear the meeting the words, of anguish the entreating prayers to speak to her as of yore. So my mission ended, I betook myself back to my humble lodgings. Years now have numbered themselves on the tablets of time, creating a new generation, who pause and sometimes laugh as the mother and daughter wend their way slowly by. It is ouly the so ber ones who drop a tear as her story comes to mind, and sigh that one so young and beautiful should have had such a melancholy fate. Harriet Martineau as a Woman. For my own nart. I intensely reirret her avowal of her latter convictions, if it, were oniy on account ol the false view that it has generally triven of her character. People began to speak of ner as "tiaru," "unchristian," "cold," "a man in petticoats," etc., whereas no more gentle, kindly, and, if I may say so, "motherly" nature ever existed than that of Harriet Martineau. She de lighted in children, and in the friend ship of good wives and mothers. One of her chief virtues, indeed, was a simple domesticity, that gave her a wonderful charm to those who prefer true gentlewomen to literary lionesses. To my mind Harriet Martineau uever seemed to greater advantage than with her knitting-needles in her hands, or, like "Sarah Battle of blessed memory," playing at the wholesome and athletic game of "cribbage," which the writer of these lines had the honor to teach her. How many a time in the summer nights have I sat with her under the porch of her beautiful cottage, looking at the moonlit mountains and the silver Rothay, which she loved so well, al though she never heard ijs music. "It is all so beautiful," said she, on one oc casion, as we looked upon this charm ing scene, "that I am afraid to with draw my eyes from it, for fear it should all melt." Her love of the beauties of nature was intense as keen as her sympathy with human wrongs and struggles. It was when she had first built her lovely little home at Amble side that the incident occurred which I think I revealed to the American public years ago upon no such sad occasion ;is the present how, being in want of turf ior ner lawn, and unable to procure it, two cart-lbads of that rare commodity were thrown over her wall in the night, with a few ill-spelled words to the effect that this was the gift of a poor poacher who had read her "Forest and Game-law Tales." This instance of gratitude albeit the man had probably stolen the turf to show it was very dear to her, and moved her both to tears and laughter; for her sense of hu morthough she always affected not to possess any,, and to regret its absence was keen enough. Perhaps she enjoyed nothing so much that arose out of her literary fame as the letter the school boy wrote to her when she lay danger ously ill, and "The Crofton Boys" re mained, in consequence,-unfinished: "My Dear Miss Martineau: I am very sorry to hear you are so bad. I hope you will get well; butl do hope, If not, that some of your family will finish 'The Crofton Boys.' " , This notion "of a hereditary taint of authorship always tickled her very heart-strings.
