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

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

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 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. JamesPayn in Harper's
Magazine for October.
