Rain on the Root

Soft falls through the gathering twlllghl The rain from the dripping eavea. And stirs, with a tremulous rustlo.

The dead and the dying leaves, While afar, in the midst of tha shadow*, I hear the sweet voices of bells, Come home on the wind of the autumn#

That fitfully rises and swells.

They call and they answer each other, And answer and mingle ag®!11. As the deep and the

harmony

As the voices of sentinels mingle Tn mountainous regions atsnow, j• Till from the hill-tops a chorus

Flouts down to the valleys below.

'True, sir but is human life to be reckoned or valued by money? In all probability there are poor fellows there in danger of their lives, who,11 we leave them to their fate, would place us on a footing with pirates, and turning abruptly, I walked aft, having expressed my indignation in .a voice,tremulous. with anger. 'Bless my soul, Mr. Watkins, I. would not leave any one to perfeh. I was only calculating the chanfces in a wmmeroial point ot view.

You have nothing like them in the States, I can assure you "of that and now for my yarn. "Twenty years ago, I was chief mate on board of a Down East brig engaged in the South American trade. The captain was good enough at heart, but he did love a gold dollar so much, that the passion of avarice at times warped the better and prevailing instincts of his heart. "I was young, careless, and free, without a soul living I could claim as kin, and as happy in my lone state as you can well imagine. I had but little responsibility on my shoulders, the skipper taking entire control, even to details. "We were to the southward of the line, outward bound, and upon the eventful night in question, which was truly, an era in my life, I had the first watch. The wind was light, and the ocean as calm as though asleep. "We had all our light kites set to woo the gentle breeze, running through the water not over three knots an hour. Absorbed in my own thoughts and reflections, I was leaning idly over the taffrail watching the bubbles and phosphorescent light playing about the restless rudder, when a touch on my arm from the man at the wheel, brought me to my self. 'What do you call that, sir?' he inquired, pointing over the quarter. "I gazed in the direction pointed out by the man, and, to my intense surprise, saw a bright light, not unlike a ball of fire, which threw a lurid tremulous light, across the dark waters. •••& 'It can't be tho moon, sir?" said said the seaman with an inquiring look. 'The moon rising in a quarter bearing south-south west? No, that is some craft on fire, as sure as my name is John Watkins, and I'll rouse out the captain at once.' "In another instant 1 was rapping in no gentle maimer at the Skipper's stateroom, who turned out hurry, •"What—what is the matter?" he stammered, rubbing his .eyes is there a squall coming "'No, sir it's as pretty a night as

She had been on a visit to Spain, where her father had large numbers of relations, and had taken passage for home in the Spanish ship. "The ill-fated vessel, by some means to her unknown^ had caught fire during the night. A panic ensued, and, overcome by terror, she fainted away. Probably in the excitement and alarm which followed, her absence was over-looked, and when the boats shoved off from the ship, the Senorita Maria Gonzales was left unconscious in her state-room to perish. "Glancing around the horizon, I could see no sign of the brig. Not the flash of a light betrayed the position of .the vessel. But I had, a compass with, me, and noted ... the course I had steered while pulling'tor the burning wreck.

seen. Diving down into the main cabin, ^vliich was half filled with black, twisting smoke, I took a hasty glance about. The rich hangings, appointments, and ornamentation surprised me, showing that the unfortunate ship had been designed to carry passengers. The sharp, shooting gleams of writhing flames from aloft penetrated through tho broad skylight, tinging every object with a ruddy glare. ".From state-room to state-room I hurried, but found them all empty uniii I came to the after one. There I e-vl\-:ienced some difficulty in opening the door, the smoke every moment becoming more dense and respiration more difficult. Exerting my strength, the wood work gave way, revealing a confused mass of white drapery lying on the state-room floor. The very sight made my heart beat quick with apprehension, and stooping, I soon ascertained that it was a. woman.

Placing my hand over her heart, I felt it throb, and without further delay I rushed on deck with her in my arms.. Through the companion-way I staggered, with a strange dizziness in my head, gasping for breath, but still retaining my grasp on her I had saved. The fresh air revived me: the pain left my head, so that I was enabled to pay proper attention to the woman who lay helplesss in my arms. "Then, for the first time, I looked at the face of my burden,and by the bright light of the wreck I discovered she was both young and handsome. At that moment the mainmast went crashing over the side, sinking with a hiss in the black water. A shower of cinders and sparks, a column of roaring flames, shot on high, followed by the excited shouts of the men, who had leaped, panic-stricken, into tho boat urging me to follow. "Clasping the lady with my left arm, I used my right in gliding down the ship's side. The mens' oars were poised, I gave the word, and the next instant we wfcre clear of the vessel, which was now wrapt in flames from stem to stern, '-y, '.'Dashing some water into the lady's face, I began to chafe her hand?.

"I could enlarge upon the sufferings we endured, tell you about the calm days which succeeded, how the scorching rays of the sun beat down upon our heads, and how tho men with noble generosity surrendered their few drops of water to tho pale, suffering woman, who never murmured once, though her brain was all but on fire, and her tongue parched and swollen in her mouth. "You can imagine my feelings when the last crumb of bread was exhausted, and the beaker had been drained dry. Death in its most terrible form, with the attending horrors of hunger and thirst, stared us in the face, and I groaned in anguish as I gazed upon the now inanimate form of the poor girl. She was dying—perhaps dead already—and I stretched myself by her sido to meet tho fato I was xowerless to avert.

Strange to say none of us succumbed to tho privations we had undergone, but recovered to congratulate one another upvu our escape. The Senor Jose Gonzales fairly hugged me in his delight at the escape of his daughter, and insisted upon my making ihis residence my home. The men were rewarded by him beyound their most sanguine hopes, and I—well, I rewarded myself by marrying the fair heiress, and when her father died a few years ago, I assumed full control of the estates.

In military history and biography the most notable work the country has produced is "Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman, written by Himself," or, as it might be called, "My Deeds iii My Words." The sharpness, conciseness,and arbitrarinesa of the autobiographer's style are characteristic of the man. He is intensely conscious of his superiority. The wordol command is heard ringing in every page of his two octavos. No man could, without being laughed at, have writton what he has written unless he had done what he has clone. Throughout his autobiography he appears self-centered, self-referring, self-ab-sorbed, and when opposed, prouder than a score of Spanish hidalgos. Like George Eliot's inkeeper, he divides human thought intd two parts— namely "my'idee," and "humbug." There is no middie: point but then his intelligence is as solid, quick, broad and full of-resources as his will is defiantly self-reliant. Though there is something: bare,' bleak, harah, abrupt in his style, his blunt' egotism every now and then runs into a rude humor. He pats on the back men as brave if hot as skillful as himself, and looks down upon them with a goodnatured toleration as long a3 they look up to him, but when they do not, disbelief in Sherman denotes incompetency or malignity in the critic. His enmities are heated and sortie^" times vindictive The" grave has closed over a map jnrho, in his sphere did at lea#t as much .as -Sherman to overturn the rebellion,iand^ yteb Shepj man spares not-S6cret&$£' dead, any more than ne spSred Stahton living. Still" the book is thoroughly a soldier's -bobk and must take rank among the most Instructive and entaining military memoirs ever written.—Earper's.
