The-followingcxqalsi..epoem hasbeen pro- nouncod by one ofthe eminent European crit¬ ics to he the llnest production In our language:
Prom the qatclEenedwomb of tUoprimal gloom
TUe sun rolled black and bare, Till I wove him a vest for his Etiilop brcost,
Of the threads of my golden Imlr; And wlien the broad tent of the llr.niament
Arose on its airy spars, I pencUcd tho heaven's matchless blue,
Aud spangled It round with stars.
J painted the flowers of (he Edoo howerfi.
And thelrlcnvcs of living green, And m!ne were tho dyes in the sinless eyes
Of Eden's virgin queen; liut when Lho fiend's art In the trustful iieart
Had fasiened his moral spell, 111 the silvery sphere ofthe first-born year, ts.To the tremoling earth i;fell.
When the waves that burst o'er a world accurst
Their worlc of wrai-h had sped, A'.id the Ark's long few—t.'icd and true—
Come fortli among the dead; With the wondrous gleains of my b.-idai dreams
I bade tlieir lerior cease ;• And I wi-oteon tiie roll of thestorm's darkscroll
God's covenant of Peace.
Like a pall at lest on a senseless breast,
Xiglit's fUnerid shadow slept— Where shepherd aw.Lin3 on Bethlcncm plains, ¦ .Their lonely vigils liept; When X flashed on Uieir sight Lhelieraldhrlght
Of Heaven's ledcemlng phin/ As they chanted the morn ofa Savior bora—
"Joy! joy.' tothe outcast—man!"
Equal favor I show .o the lofly and low.
On tho just and unjust descend; E'en the blind, whose va'.-i spheres roll In dark¬ ness and teai-.s.

From my seniinei steep by li?e night brooded deep,
J guzc with uusldlntiering eye. While thecyuosuro star of the mariner
Is blotted oot f'.omtheslty; Ant", guidcu by nic tiuough tlie merciless sea,
?'iiongh sped by .i>e li.irricano's win^-. His ..omp.r'islcss. lone. dalt. welicri'ig bark
To the Imven home sa.'*ely I b.-iua.

"TKey'il ievcr go out to her," said  the lifeiboat-vrere for' a wliili* sliajnfea' the old man, shouting in my ear—for in vain
GOEUG ASHOEE.
"There she is, sir; that's sbe just off the pint therfe. She's a-cominsT stem 011; andinarfan hour if she ain't on Bunk Sands, Tin a Dutcliman."
Sly compauion was no native of dam- lanrt. for theie was Briton wi-itten in every feature ot liis brouze-rcd face, as lie stood by me in Baythovpe sliore, in his canvas trousers, lieavy fisher's boots, blue Jersey shirt, and tarpaulin hat, tied on with abit of oakum band, -svhUe the flap behind beat about ia a tremendous wind tliat 'vras I'.iging in our faces.
"BaugT' weut the duU, smothered report ofa heavy guu, and in the shatle of tlio coming nigiit I just caught sight of a faint fl.ish of light. Where we stood, the spray came rushing in liite a heavy storm of rahi; while the whist¬ ling of the wind, aud the thundering in of tlie huge rollers as they curled over and over upou the saads. tearing it out from among the clays, and scraping it away by tons, made stauding in tlie face bf such a storm e.-ctremely conftisiug ; and yet hundreds were out upon the shore close under the great sand bauk, drcDchcd to the skiu with the spr.iy, for the news had spread through the village that a three-master was going ashore. . Going ashore! Simple words to a landsman's cars; but what do they meau? The noble vessel tearing and plunging through tbe broken water- now down in the (rough of the waves, now rising like a cork upon the white crests, and thea a shock as she strikes upon the sand, and seems immovable ,¦ a shuddering quiver through plank and bc.im; and then cr!«li, crash, crash,— mast after'mast gone by the board,- snapped like brittle twigs on a dead stem; wbi] eh nge ropes p.irt like burned twine; tlien tbe rising of the apparent¬ ly immovable vessel, as she is lilted by the waves lo fall crashing again upon the sands, parting iu the middle; rush¬ ing billows pouring tuns upon tuns of water over the deek; a wild, wild cry for help; and then the shore strewed with fragments, casks, bodies, as the merciless waves sport with them,' toss¬ ing them on to tlie sands, and then curling over to drag tliem back. Going a-shore; not safety from a wild storm, but death.
"Ah," said the old salt by my side, shouting at me with his hand lo his mouth, "did yer hear that gun?" I nodded.
"There goes another," he continued, stretching out his hand and pointing to where the fl.i.sh could be seen, while di¬ rectly arter came anotber dull, heavy report. " Cau't yor see her now, sir?" Mioe were not.se.a-going eyes; audit was no easy t.isk lo make out a distant object througli tlio blinding storm of spray whicli beat dead in my face; but I just managed tomake out a dark maSs right out amongst the boiling waves, aild I shuddered as I thought of the fate of those on board.
" She mu.st.come to it," said the man; "she'll come in just there;" and he pointed to a spot amongst the waves where tbey .seemed roughest; "she'll he there in less time than I said; and then, Lord have ineicy upon 'em! Amen!"
As he said tliis, the old man reverent¬ ly took oil"his tarjiauli n sou'wester, and stood with the storm tearing through tho remains of his gri-/.',;ly hair; bald, rugged, aud weatlier-lieaien. the coarse¬ ness of Ifis fealures seemed foi- the mo¬ ment subdued—softened by the feeling within his breast—as he stood there no inapt representation of a seer of old.
" Is there no chance for them?" 1 shouted.
after the luU, the Btorm came down with redoubled fury, the wind shriek¬ ing and howling paat, cutting the crests of the waves oft as it came teaiing.over the hill of waters, and dashing.the salt spray in my faoe till itahnost s^piedtp cut thefleshr.w?>He «t1*ljiiaJfteaBM»^ who liad come dovm -^TOrS'wJm^lqtelj; held back against tiie iteepBaiid-ba^^ "There! look there.!'*; cried tlie old man, suddenly seizingmy arm, "Catch¬ ing at straws. Why, there's ahoatrload coming ashore. There; don't you see —now a-top o' that breaker?"
I caughtslghtof asmallboatcrowded with figures, and then there seeined to be aftall wave purl over it, and I saw it no more.
"Gone!" said the old man; "I knowed it! Nothing could live in such a storm."
"Let'sgo tothe life-boat, and see if they are going off," said I; but the old man was intently gazing out to sea. ¦ .
"There; just as I said," he shouted hoarsely, " just in the place. She's struck." -And then, above the yelUng of the storm, we oould hear a crash aud a wild shriek, that seems to ring through me now upon a stormy night, when far inland I listen to the howling wind.
"It's now or never!" said the old man, as.he fan down towards whero the life-boat siood upon its caniage, with a crowd of men and women around, thi women hanging on to their husbands, and apparently begging thatthey would not dare the perils before them.
The sea had looked fearful enough from where we stood before; but here, as close as we dared go to the breakers, ifc looked perfeci^ly awful, while the at¬ tempt to launch a boat seemed absolute madness. It was evident that the men thought so too, though, as we came up, one sturdy fellow shouted, " I'm ready, mates, if you'.re going;" a remark that elicited no response, for every one stood stolidly gazing out towards the doomed vessel.
Just tbeu, in the dull haze seaward, a blue light shone out over the water like adu'lstar; but stilLno one moved. All at once, the old man by my side laid hold of my arm, and whispered: "Give me a lift, sir;" and before I knew hard¬ ly what his object was, he had climbed by help into the boat. " Now, then, you boys." he shouted wildly; " I can't stand this! Stand aside, and let some ofthe old ones come!"
The spell was broken. Women were hastily th.-ust aside, and a boat's crew was soou made up, amidst the sfirieking and walling of sweethearls and wives, wbo ran about the beach wringing their hands.
" Hurray for old Marks!" shouted a voice at my elbow, and the crowd loud¬ ly cheered tbe old man. Thea oars were shipped and all made ready, the old sailor seizing the steering oar aa he stood up in his place with a life-belt on and his hat blown off, looking nobler thau ever.
" Now, aro you all ready?" he shout¬ ed.
"No, no,'- was tho cry; and in the hush of e:tpectation, two meu rose in the boat, d.Tshed off tlicir life-belts, and amidst half-muttered groans, leaped out from their places, and ran up the sands to the baok, where they disappeared.
" Two moje!" shouted old Marks, and fof a few moments, so diead was the peril, uot a soul moved; then two stbufc lads came rushing towards the boat, pursued by an elderly man,—a perfect giant.
"Stopthem!" heroared. "Yersha'nt go, lads."
He came up to them by the boat-side as they were climbing in, and endeavor¬ ed to stop their progress; but lu his turn he was seized from behind by a couple of men, and the two new-comers were in a half a minute equipped for the dire struggle before them and in their dry lilaces.
" Let me go!" shrieked the'man; but the others clung to him, as the signal was given, the carriage backed down into position, the thne accurately cho¬ sen, aud with a wild "hurrah!" heard above the storm, the life-boat waa launched.
My attention had been so taken up that I had ceased to look upou the man who was struggling to regain his lib¬ erty ; but just as the boat was leaving its carriage, a bystander was driven violently against me, and the moment after I saw a figure dash across the in- te-'vening space, and seize the side'of the boat; and then came the roar ofthe storm and the rush of spray, while for a few minutes the life-boat was invisible. Then a short distance off she was seen rising upon a wave, and then disappear¬ ing again into the duU haze, whieh mingled with the coming niglit, soon shut everything from our gaze but tlie foaming water.
" Over seventy, sir," shouted a voice in reply to a query. '' Old man-o'-war's- man. Been in many a storm; but this hero's awful. «
Awful it was; for so wild a night had not fallen upon that part of the coast for many yeara; and as the folk upon the shore gazed in the direction the boat had taken, they shook theirheads, and shouted in each other's ears. j
There was a long and awful pause, only broken by the shrieking of the wind, and thea eame a loud shout, "Here she comes!" and in another minute, obedient to their steersman, the rowers timed their strokes to a sec¬ ond, BO that the boat, heavUy laden, rode in upon the summit ofa giant wave so far that twenty willing hands were at her side, and she was run right up the sands, aud fifteen shivering, half- drowned fellow-creatures lifted out and hurried up the shore.
"Now, my lads," cried old Marks, " on to the truck with her, and we're off again."
The boat was soon mounted, and every man at his post, tho father of the two lads-taking his place by the side of the old cockswain; for no amount of per¬ suasion on either side could effect a I change.
There was.anbther cheer, rising above
The'"old man shook his head and ^^^ s^rm, and iigain the gallant crew shrugged his shoulders. " Precious lit- ^""'f^,^ launchedinto the surf, that seem- tie," he said, " unless them chaps come
down with tbe life-boat; but who'd go . out?"
It did look a desperate venture, In¬ deed, to attcmjit to launch a boat with sucli a sea on, aud having no reply, I stood shading my oyes aod gazing out¬ to sea. .   .."Bang!"
• There was another flash, and another dull, echoless report, aud as the veil of spray seemed to clear during a lull in the storm, I could perceive a large tiiree inasted vessel about five hundred yards from the shore; and once, as she Keeled \ioyer, aild showed her deck, I could see that it was crowded with people. .MGodhelpthem!" Imuttered. "Ainen!" said the old man; and just then, a-way to our left, we saw the life¬ boat carriage coming down at a trot, drawn by two stout horees; while a ,, loudandprolonged'hurray!' welcomed ":.¦, iiife arrivali^-as'another flash, and its fol- ^^Jowing Jiea!!gr.-,i:ep.ort, seemed to come from the doomed vessel like a. groan of pain in its hour of sore distress.
ed to curl round the boat as though to fill it in an instant. It rose and fella dark mass amid the white foam for an instant, and then seemed to plunge in¬ to a bank ot foggy blackness, for night had fallen.
I could not diag myself away from the stirciog scene around me; for I' seemed held to the spot by a strange fascination. AUat once a lurid light shot up, for a quantity of st-aw had been set on flre, and the flames roared and crackled as dry sea-weed and pieces of wood were heaped up to increase the glare, which appeared to gild the crests of the waves, and threw into bold relief the figures on the sands,—some gazing out to sea;'.iome -watchiug eagerly the firingeofbreaktrSi-ready to rush do-wn and secure anything that inight be washed ashore frovii -the wreck.

I -'Thefe' Was- a rush to 'Ai'd tlie men struggling iu the surf. Some were drag¬ ged ashore; some, scrambled unaided; from^tlie water; while' more than one was sucked back by theunder-tow;'but the life belts they wore kept them afloat; and at last, more or less hurt, the whole crew was ashore,—three be¬ ing carried up to the village insensible. I now learned that, about half-way to the vessel, the steersman's oar had snap¬ ped in two, and the boat fell into tho trough of the sea; when, in their efforts to right her, a couple more blades were broken; a wave swept over them and washed two men from their seats; but they regained their plaoes, and then, • with the dread of death upon them, the boat became unmanageable in their iiands; forinspiteof the efforts of the old cockswain, the men appeared panic- stricken, and rowed ut random.
The light that glared upon the shore now shoiyed that it was c-ompletely strewn with wreck; aad I looked with liorropupon thytviriou&isigns wbioh so piaihly-disclosfcdtte''fiite' of¦ tli6;^^6od shipl fepar; i)lauk,beam, andeask,'ieu- .tangled wich rope, were being churned over and over in the sand; and twice ,1 saw something dragged ashore, iind carried away, which sent a shudder through my frame.
At last, heart-sick and weary, I turn¬ ed away, and hiquired wiiere the crew ofthe boat were, and who had suffered; when, to my sorrow, 1 learned that the only one seriously injured was old Marks, who had so gallaaily set the ex¬ ample that evening—an example which had .resulted in the saving of fifteeu poor creatures from a -watery grave.
Ou entering the village, I soon found where tlie old man had been conveyed, aad a few minutes after Iwas atthe bedside of tbe sufferer. I found him sensible; but with a change iu his couu- teuaiice thatno amountof pain or suf¬ fering aloile would have placed fhere. Hewas quite calm, aud smiled as I en¬ tered.
"Hasshe gone ill pieces?" he whis¬ pered, stopping to wipe tli.e blood twray that oozed from his lips.
"I fear so," I replied:-'the sliore is strewed with wreck.
"Iknew she would,'' he gasped.— " Toor tb ings, poor things!   How many did we bring ashore ?" I (old him fifteen.
"Ah!" he gioaned, "not enough, not euougb."
••Butit W.IS a most gall.ont act," I said; " and more would h.ive been sav¬ ed but for the accideat. Whereareyou hurt?   It is notseriouS; I hope?"
"Serious?" he -whispered ; and then, with a sad smile: "No; it ain't serious. I'm theonly one hurt; and my time's up loug ago,—four year aud more. So it ain't serious." " Where ai'e you hurt?" I said. " Bibs all crushed," he whispered.— " I was under the gunwale of the boat; and it's all over I could see it in the doctor's looks."
A gush of blood stopped' his uttc- aoce, and I dared not Avhisper tbe comforti could not feel.
" It's all right, sir," he whispered, after lying with his eyes closed for about lialf an hour.—"it's all right, and ao. old tar couldn't die better than doin' his duty. I never thought to; but I always felt as Ishould like to die iu harness, as they say, and so I shall; but I wish there had been more." "More what?" I said. " More saved," he whispered. " Yer see I've been afore uow in action: and the Almighty only knows how many souls I've cut off; and I should like to feel sure as I'd saved more than I did for,—that's all. Perhaps they might go in tbe scale, to help balance the bad."
" But you did all as a part of your duty."
"Ah!' he whispered, "duty! Yes, sailors should do their duty; and I felt it was mine, to-night, to go. We old men-o'-wa!''s men were ti'ained to answer to a cail i a cal m or stem ; an d when lives were at stake to-night, Ifolt that I was called, and I liope I did my duty. WiU you ask tbem fifteen to just say a word or two for the old mao iu'| their prayers, sir; I mean when I'm gone? I think I should lik'e theni to, for I'm an old sailor, and oan't boast of my past life."
"Haveyou no relatives?" I whis¬ pered ;'f no friends tbat you would like tosee?"
" Far away,—far away," he said with a mournful shake of the head; "and some are a-waitin' for me to join their watch. Don't leave me, su-," he said piteously.
. 1 promised I would not; and sat -watching hour after hour listening to the hard breathing otthe sufferer; who seemed to sink into a state of stupor, only moaning at iniervals aa he tb3.sed his iiead frotn'sidie to side bf tbe^pillow, add muttered a few wot'ds bi'oken and half-spoken. 'The sLoini gi.ndually sunk j till iibewjnd quite l'alled;,aad about tbiee clock I half d''ew the curtain and looked out upon the sea, which' still tossed feac'iully; though aU above was calm add peaoefuK—a light cloud just drifting slowly past cUo pale bright moon.
I slood gazing at tbe soft blue sky^ now so placid and serene, almost -won- dev-Jug tbat so g'-eiit a obange could have taken place; when I atavted, for a voice behiod me 8houte4; "Morning waich. Draw the eiHtain, and let that inooii sbioe in."
I obeyed,—turning cold, and tremb¬ ling as I did ,so,—still lookijig at the dying sailor, wbo sat erect iu the bed! " Here," he said; aod, as I approached the bed, he seized my hand. "Bark! don't you he:>,f that? It's the, boats¬ wain piping for me to keep my everlast¬ ing watch. -Ay, ay, sir! The.re,— hark again! There's the waves a-lash- ing upon tbe farther shore. Breakera ahe.id! Look out-there! Tbe old ves¬ sel's sti'iJck, and she's going to pieces,— the old seventy-fou r, that's weathered so many a stoi'm, going ashore. Fare¬ well, messmate; one short struggle, one cold plunge, and a hopeful beart,--a brave striking out though the haish breakeis! Land, ho! laiid, ho! on the other,side,--and it'a a land of rest,—a land of peace and hope.';.Now forit!— The rush of the dark waters is corhing, -r-blinding—deafening—buta bold heart messmate. God bless you! I'm going ashore."
For some minutes I sat motionless.— The old man's'eye had lighted up as he gazed str^ght before him oiit upon the moonlltheaVens.' His voice seemed to peal througli the silence, 'of the night,- till I shivered as he deseribeil the -wreck then taking place.

THE LADY AND THE LOCKSiUITH.
I live'in San Francisco, and am a locksmith by trade. My calling is a Btrimge one, and possesses a certain fas¬ cination- rendering ifc one of the most agreeable bf pursuits. Many whofoUow ifc sae nothiiig in Jfc bilt labor^thinfc of-I nothing but its returns in gold andail- ver. To me, it ha9 other charms than the money it produces. I am called iigoa almpsf. daily to open doors and jpeer into long neglected apartments; to spring the stubborn looks of safes, and gloat upon the treasures piled within; to quietly enter theaparfcments of ladies witb more beauty than discretion, and pick the locks of drawers eontaining peace-destroying missives, that the dan¬ gerous evidences of wandering affection may not reach the eye of a husband, or father, possessing the missing key; to force the fastenings of cash-boxes, and depositories of records, telling ot men made suddenly ricb, of corporations plundered, of orpbans robbed, of hopes crushed, of families ruined. Is there no charm in all this ?—no food for specula¬ tion •?^no scope forilie rauge of pleas- ant.fancy? Then, who would not be a ¦locksmith, though his face is begrimed with tlie soot of the forge, aud his hands are stained with rust?
But I have a story to tell—uot exactly ,a story, either—for a story impUes the [completion as well as tlie beginning of a narrative—and mine is scarcely more than the introduction to one. Let liim who deals in fancy, write the rest. In the spring of 1856—1 think it was in April—I opened a little shop'on Kear¬ ney street, and soon worked myself into a fair busineas. Late one evening, a lady, closely veiled, entered my shop, and pulJing from beneatii a cloak a small japauned bos, requosted me to open it. The lock was cu riously con¬ structed, and I wus all of au hour fitting it with a key. The lady seemed nci'¬ vous'at tlie delay, and at length request¬ ed me to close the door. I was a little surprised at tbe suggestion, but of coui-se complied. Shutting the door, and re¬ turning lo my work, the lady withdrew her veil, disclosing as sweet a face as eau well be imagined. There was a restless¬ ness ia the eye and a pallor in the cheek, however, which plainly told of a hoa'-t ill at caso, and ioa moment every emotion for her had given place to that of pity.
"Perhaps you aie not well, madam, and the nigbt air is too chilly?" said I ratber inquisitively.
I felt a rebuke in her reply: " In re- quoscing you to close the door, I had no other object than to escape lho attention of persous."
I did not reply, but thonghtfull.y con¬ tiuued my-work. Sbe resumed: "That Uttle bo-'C con tains valuable papera—pri¬ vate p.apers—and I have lost the key, or it has been stolen. I should not wish to have you remember that I ever came here on such an ei-iahd," she continued with some hesitation, and giving me a look which it was no difflcult matter to understand.
" Certainly, madam, if you desire it. If I cannot forget your faoe, I will at least attempt to lose the recollection of ever seeing it hei'e."
The lady bowed rather coldly atwhat I coQsideied a fine compliment, and I proceeded with my work, satisfied that a suddenly discovered parfciaUiy for me had nothing to do with the visit. Hav¬ ing succeeded, after much filing and flU ting, in turning the lock, I was seized with a curjoslty'to get a glimpse at the precious contents of the box, and sud¬ denly raising the Udj discoveied a bun¬ dle of letters, and a daguerreotype, as I slowly passed the box to its owner. She seized it hurriedly, ahd placing the let¬ ters aud picture in her pocket, locked the box, and drawing the veil over her face, pointed to the door. I opeojed it, aodas she passed into the street, she merely whispered, "Remember!" We met again, aod I havebeen thus partic¬ ular in describing her visit to the shop, to render probable a subsequent recog¬ nition.
About 2 o'clock in the moming, in the Iaiier part of May following, I was awoke by a gentle lap upon the window of the little room b-ick of the shop, in whieh I lodged. Thinking of burglars, Isp.raagout of bed, and in a moment was at the window, with a heavy ham¬ mer in my hand, which I usually kept at thnt time witbin convenient reach of my bedside. ^.
"Who's there?'' i inquired, raising the hammer, and peering out into the darkness—for it waa as dark as Egypt.) wlien under the curse of Israel's God.
" Hist!" exclaimed a figure, stepping in fron t of the window; "open the door, I have business foi- yon."
" Each er past bu si ness hou ra, I shoul d say; but who are you ?"
" No one that would hacm you," re¬ turned the voice, which I imagined was rather feminine for a burglar's.
"Nor no one that can!" I replied, lather emphatically, by way of a warn¬ ing, as I tightened my grip on the ham¬ mer, aod pi'oceeded to the door. I pushed back tbe bolt, and siowly open¬ ing doov,- discovered the stranger al¬ ready upon the steps.
"What do want?" I abruhtly in¬ quired;
" I will tell you," answered the same soft voice. " it you dare open the door wide enough for me to enter.''
" Come in," said I, resolutely, throw¬ ing tho door ajar, and proceeding to light a caiiidle. Hiivlhg succeeded, I turned to examine'.the visiter. He was a small and neatly dressed gentleman, with a heavyEaglan around his should¬ ers, and a blue navy cap drawn suspi¬ ciously over the eyes. As i advanced toward him, he- seemed to hesitate a moment, then raised the cap. from his ] forehead, and looked me curiously in the face. I.did not drop the candle, but iackhowled^d-to a little nei-yousness as I hurriedly, placed the'light on a ta¬ ble, ah'd 'silently proceeded to Invest inyself with two or three, ^fery necessa¬ ry.arUclM-o^clothing; As the Lord liveth, mjr;i^ter was a .lady, and the .saiiie for'^Jioto'I had opened the - Uttle box aboiit''ai -inonth-hefdire!'

'.' •.i^ "Byidqing half an hour's work before idaylight to-morrow, and receiving flve hundred dbtiars.' foir your ?abor," was :the reply. ¦ . :
i " It is not ordinary work," saidi, in- qiilringly, "that commMids so munifi¬ cent a compensation.
" It is a labor common to ypiir call¬ ing," replied the lady. " The price ia not so.much for the labor, as tho condi¬ tion under whieh it is to be performed." "And what is the condition?" I in¬ quired,
; " That you will submit: to being con¬ veyed :frbm and returned tt) your own door blind-folded.";
Ideas of ninrderj-buiBlary, andalmost every other crimeto'Vlllainy, hurriedly. presented themselves to' my vision, an^ I poUtely bowed,; and said: "I .miiat understand somethihgmoreof the char¬ acter ofthe employment, as well as the conditions, to ac^jit your offer." ¦ "WiU not iive hundred dollars an¬ swer in lieu of an explanation?",ishe inquired; ;     '• J ;¦¦    j  ;¦ '    .
i "No—ijor.J^vejkcuBarid.'.';.,; .; i She pattJB(iiier.s5J.ot nervously ori the floor. Icould see she had^placedan en¬ tirely tob low'ilh estimate onmy hon¬ esty, and i ifeit some^atlfiiiation in be¬ ing ableto, convlnee, her of the fact.
"WeU, then, if it is absolutely neces¬ sary for me to exjplaih," she repUed, "I must tell ybu that you are required to pick the lock of a vault, and—"
"You have gone quite far enough, madam, with the explanation," I in¬ terrupted ; " I am not at your service." "As Isaid," ahe continued, "youare requiied to pick the lock of a vault, and rescue from death a man who has been confined there for tiuee days."
"To whom does the vault belong?" I inqnired.
"My husband," was tlie somewhat reluctant reply.
" Then why so much secrecy ? or ra¬ ther, how came a maa confined iu such a place ?"
"I secreted him there, to escape the observation of my husband. He sus¬ pected as much, and closed the door upon htm. Presuming he had left the vault, and quitted the house by the back door, I did not dream, until to-day, that he was conBned there. Certain auspicious acts of my husband this af¬ ternoon convince me that the man is there, beyond human hearing, and will be starved to death by my bat'barous husband, unless immediately rescued. For three days he has not le-'t the house. I' drugged' him less than au hour ago, and he is now so stupeSgd that the lock may be picked withobthisiuter.'erenee. I have searched hia pocketa, but could not find the key; hencemyapplication to you. Now you knowaU; wiUyou acc-omimuy me?"
' To the end of the world, madam, on sueh an errand."
"Then prepare yourself; there is a cab waiting at the door."
I was a little surprised, for I had not heard the sound of wheels. Hastily drawing on a coat, and providing my¬ self with the required implements, I was soon at the door. There, sure enouzh was tho cab, with the driver iu his seat, ready for the mysterious jour¬ ney. I entered the vehicle, followed by the lady. As aoon as I was seated, she produced a heavy handkerchief, which, by the faintlight ofau adjacent street lamp, she carefully bound round my eyes. The lady seateil herself be¬ side me, and the cab started. In half an hour it stopped—in what part of the city I am entirely ignorant, as it was evidently driven in anything but a di¬ rect course from the point of starting.
Examining the bandage to see that my vision was completely obscured, the lady handed me the bundle of tools with which I was provided, theu tak¬ ing me by the arm, led me tlirough a gate into a house which I knew waa of brick, and after takiug me through a passage-way which could not have been less than fifty feet in length, and down a flight of atairs into whi was evident¬ ly an underground baseirflent, stopped beside a vault, and removo a the hand¬ kerchief from- my eyes.
"Heie is the vault—open it," said she, springing the door of a darlc lan¬ tern, and tlirowing a beam of light upon the lock
I seized a bunch of skeleton keys, and after a few trials, whioh the lady seemed to watch witli the most painful anxietj', sprang the bolt. The door swung upon its hinges, aud my com¬ panion teUing me pot to close it, as it was self-locking, sprang into the vault. I did not follow. I heard the murmur oflow voices within, and the next mo¬ ment a lady reappeared, and leaning upon her arm a man, with face so pale and haggard that I started atthe sight. How he must have suffered during the three long days of his 'confinement!
"Bemain here," she said, handing me the lantern; "IwiU be back in a moment."
The two slowly ascended the stairs, and I heard lhem enter a room imme¬ diately abovo where I was standing. In less than a minute the lady retur¬ ned. ':'  '
"ShaU I cloae it, madam?" said I, placing my hand upon the door of the vault.
"No! uo!" she exolaimed, hastily seizing my arm; " it waits upon anoth¬ er occupant!"
"Madam, yon certalnlydo not intend to-" '   '•',
I'Are you ready?" she inter'.upted im¬ patiently holding the handkerchief to my eyes. The thought flashed across my mind that she intended to push me into the vault, and bury me and my secret together. She seemed to read the suspicion, and continued: " Do not be alarmed.    You are iot the man!"

Out of Darkness into LiaHT.— There is one great principle which char¬ acterizes our times more decidedly than any period of thepast. Mind is advanc¬ ing in all that can promise glory and happiness. It is soaring high into the realms of the material universe, and unfolding its God-announcing wonders; it is piercing deep into the dark recesses ofour lioiie world, and reading power and wisdom and goodness ih the hand¬ writing traced by tbe finger of God upon the tablets of his own workmanship; ifc is dissevering matter, and displaying the magical properties of its component parta; it ia subduing the long-establish¬ ed tyranny of the old elemeiii;?, and compelling them to yield their power subservient to the good of man: mind is, in short, obtaining a glimpse of the true God through the media of His Word and His Works, and unraveling the mysteries ot the nature of man, de¬ veloping the transcendent powers with which he is endowed, unfolding the laws to which he is subject, physically and spiritually; and, moro than aU, if anything can be more, is abaodonitig error—ay, breaking the thraldom of sin, aud becoming free to take a high staad in tbe moral grades of the universe. — Tbus progress is onward. Heaven says " Come up higiier," and obedient man would obey. Let us keep " right on" in the right direction, guided by His light, and we shall surely reach the haven of eternal peace.

Sarsaparilla has, and deser^'ei rauch, thcrcp- ntatlon of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egreglously deceived by prepa¬ rations of U, Jiartly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that Is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of It, contain but little ofthe virtuo ofSarsaparllla, or any thing else.
Dnrlng late years the public have been mis¬ led by Jorge bottles, pretending to givo a niiart of Extract of SarsaparUla for one dollar. Most of these have beeu frauds upon the sick, for tbey not only contain little, Ifany, Sarsaparil¬ la, but ofteu no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful dlsapjmintnifni. ha-s followed the use of tho various extracts o( Sarsaparilla whieh flood the market, nntll t ho nameltself Is justly despised, and has becomo synonymous with imposition and cheat.

In proof of wiiat Ueigaiet'.s Old Bkanpy hns accomplished ns a. reniedy,iii the dLsease to which we have alluded, wc can summon quite a respectable humberofpM-sons who will Ireely testify as to tho great aud last¬ ing benelits tliey have derived fn>tu its "use us a medicine. Sevenil cases ofthu mostlnTcteralc formsof DysiK-'psla—wliere Itproved succcbsiul, should alone suflice to convince nny libonil mind tlmt Old Brandy Is infallible. One case lu particular wc will cite:
A hard working farmer had been nftllelrd with an cxhuustlng Dyspepsia for a uumber ol ycar.s; his stomach wonld rejoc* almost every kind of food; he had sour eructailons constanl¬ ly—no appetite—In fact, he Avas obllgrtl to re¬ strict his diet to crackers'and Htnlc bread, and as a beverage he used McGrann's Root Bci-r,— He Is a Mctliodl.st, and then, ns now, prom-licd .at times and In his discourse often declaJnu-d earnestly ugainst all kiuds of strong ilrink.— Wlien advised to try Reioakt's Old Uka.nuv Inhls case, he looked up with astonishment; but after relating Itii wonderful ellecls in the cases of .some of his near acqualnlances, he at hist consented to foUow our advice. He usetl the brandy failhfnriy and steadily; the lirst but¬ tle giving iilm an appetite, and hefore the hl'c- ond was all talcen he wus a sound man, with a stomach capable of digesting any thing wlilch he choo.se to cat. He still keeps it, and um-s a little occasionally- and, moreover, since he has this medicine, he has been of-verj' Utile pecuniary benefit to the doctor., If any aro skeptical, or believe this Is written lo bcnfilt nuy liquor dealer, we cau, if required, give a ccrlUicate endorsed by quito a rcspcctaliic ¦ number ofperson.s, who have been cured by U, and who will any timo checrfnUy testify lus to Itssuperior liealthy virtnes' In Dyspeiisly aud all dise:ises of a debilitating character.
