< item ttatib&est FRIDAY DECEMBER 22, 1876. THE CITY BY THE SEA. Somewhere an ancient city stands, A beautiful city by the sea, And moss-grown gables seem to frown From the 'pointed roofs of the houses brown That line the streets of this quaint old town. Or that city by the sea. Never a sound of clamorous strile Disturbs this city by the sea. But calm and sweet Is the tranquil day The white sails ride on tlfe moonlight bay Or slip their moorings and tloat away Fron this city by the sea. Sometimes ateve, when the tide goes out, A troop of children, glad and free, Ganihol and shout a merry band; Or over the shining, sea-wet sand, Go two young lovers,hand In hand, Fron this city by the Ma, Olten and often I sit and think Of this beautiful city by the sea. Till I see the flash of the crimson sky, And the youthful lovers, fond and shy. An- the snow-white sails as the ships go by. Past this city by the sea. Is H a picture or a dream Whose haunting memories come to me? Or did I somewhere, long ago, Pace the shining sands when the tide was low- Hear the murmurous sea waves ebb and How- Did I see the crimson sunset's glow, Aad watch the white sails come and go, Past this city by the sea? The Heroine of the Curfew. It lacked but half an hour of curfew toll. The old bell-ringer carue from uu der the wattled roof of his cottage stoop, and stood witli uncovered head in the clear, sweet-scented air. He had crown blind and deaf in the service, but his old arm was as muscular as ever; and he who listened this day-remarked no faltering iu the heavy, metallic throbs of the cathedral bell. Old Jasper had lived through many changes. He had tolled out his notes of mourning for good Queen Cess; and with tears scarce ly dry he had rung the glad tidings of the coronation of James; Charles the First had been crowned, reigned, and expiated his weaknesses before all Eng land iu Jasper's time; and now he who under his army held all the Common wealth iu the hollow of his hand ruled us more than monarch, and still the old man with the habit of a long life upon him, rang his matin and curfew. Jasper stood alone now, lifting his dimmed eyes up to the softly dappled sky, gathering but a faint sense of the lovely scene or of the incense-freighted air. Tlie walls of his memory seemed so written over so crossed and recrosseii by the annals of the years that had gone before, that there seemed little room for anything in the present. Lit tle recked he that Cromwell's spears men were camped on the moor beyond the village that Cromwell himself rode with his guardsmen but a league away ; he Only knew that the bell that had been hung iu the tower when William the Conqueror made curfew a law, had beeu spared by Puritan and Itouudhead, and that his arm for sixty years had never failed him at eventide. He was moving with a slow step toward Hie gare, when a woman came iu hurriedly from the street and stood be side him; a lovely woman, but with face so blanched tliut it seemed carved iu the whitest of marble with all of its roundness and dimples. Her great sol emn eyes were raised to the aged face in pitiful appeal, and the lips were form ing words that he could not understand. "Speak up, lass. 1 am deaf, and can not hear you clatter." "For Heaven's sake, good Jasper, do hoi ring curlew to-nignt." "What, na ring curfew! Ye must be Halt, lassie!" "Jasper, for sweet Heaven's sake, for one night in all your long life forget to ring the bell! rail this once and my lover shall live, whom Cromwell says shall die at curfew toll. Do you hear? my lover, brave ltichard Temple. See, Jasper, here is money to make your old age happy. I sold my jewels that .Lady iUatiU gave me, ami the gold shall all be yours lor one curfew." "Would ye bribe me, Lily De Vere? lou're a changeling. le've na the blood of the 1'lautagauets in ye're veins as your mother hail. hat! corrupt me, bell-ringer under Her Majesty, good Queen Bess! Not for all the gold that Lady Maud could bring me! What is your lover to me? Babes have been born and strong men have died before now to the ringing of the bell. Awa', And out on the village green, with the solemn shadows lengthening over it, a strong man awaited the curfew to toll for bis death. He stood handsome ajul brave, aud tall taller by an inch than the tallest pikeuian who guarded him. What had he done that he should die? Little it mattered in those days when the sword that the Great Cromwell wielded was so prone to fall, what he or others had doue. He had beeu scribe to the late lord up at the castle, aud Lady Maud, forgetting that man must woo, and woman must wait, had given her heart to him without the asking, while the gentle Lily De Vere, dibtaut kinswoman, aud distant companion to her, had, without seeking, louud the treasures of his true love, aud held them fast. Then he had joined the army, aud made one of Co in well's pious sol diers. But a scorned woman's hatred had reached him even there. Enemies and deep plots had compassed him about and conquered him. To-night he was to die! The beautiful world lay as a vivid picture before him. The dark green wood above the rocky hill where Itobiu Hood aud his merry men had dwelt; the frowuing castle with its drawbridge and square towers; the long stretch of moor with the purple shadows upon it; the green, straight walks of the village: the birds overhead, eveu the daisies at his feet lie saw. But ah! more vividly than all, he saw the great red sun with its hazy veil lingering above the trees, as mougu it pitied uim with more than human pity. He wasa God-tearing and God-serving man. He had long ago made his peace with heaven. Nothing stood between him and death nothing rose pleading between him and those who were to destroy him, but the sweet face of Lily De Vere, whom lie loved. She had knelt at Cromwell's feet and pleaded lor his life, blie had wearied heaven with her prayers, but there came no re lief. Slowly now the setting sun went down. Slowly the last rays were hid behind the green wood. Only thirt3' seconds more aud the curfew would ring. Thirty seconds more aud his soul would be with his God. The color did not forsake his cheeks. The dark rings of hair lay upon a warm 'brow. It was his purpose to die as martyrs aud brave men die. w nat was lire that he should cliug to it? What was death that he should shrink from it? He almost felt the air pulsate with the first heavy roll of the death knell. But no sound came. Still facing tbe soldiers with his clear gray eye upon them, be waited, The crimson banuers in the west were paling to pink. The kme had ceased their lowing, and had been gathered into the rick varda. All nature had sounded her curfew; but old Jasper was silent. The bell-ringer, with bis gray head yet bared, had traversed half tbe dis tance that lay between his cottage and the ivy-colored tower, when a form went flitting past him, with pale, shad owy robei floating around It, and hair that the low western lights touched and tinted as with a halo. "Ah! Huldah, Huldah!" the old man muttered: "how swift she Hies! I will come soon, dear. iMy work is almost doue!" Huldah was the good wife who had gone iromhim iu her early woman hood, and for whom he had mourned all of his Ions life. But the fleeing form was uot Huldah's; it was Lily De Vere, hurried by a sudden and desperate pur pose toward the old cathedral. "so help me God, curfew shall not ring to-night! Cromwell and his dra goons come this way. Once more I will kneel at pis feet aud plead." She entered the ruined arch! She wrenched from its fastenings the carved aud worm-eaten door that barred the way to the tower. She ascended with Hying and frenzied foot the steps;- iier heart lifted up to God for ltichard's de liverance from peril. Tbe bats Hew out and shook the dust of centuries from the black carvings. As she went up she caught glimpses of the interior of the great building, with Its groined root, its chevrons aud clustered columns; its pictured saint and carved image of tbe Virgin, which the pillagers of all ages had spared to be dealt with by lime, tbe most relentless Vandal of all. Un still ud beyoud the rainbow tiuts thrown by the stained glass across her death-white brow; up still up past open arcade aud arch, witn gritliu aud gargoyle staring at her from under bracket aud corulce, with all the hid eousness of mediieval carviug the stairs, flight by llight, growiug frailer beneath her youug feet; now but a slen der fret work between her aud the outer world, but still up! iier breath was coming short aud gasping. She saw, through an open space, old Jasper cross the road at the toot oi me tower, un. now iar: me seconds were treasures which Cromwell, with all Ins blood-bought Common wealth, could uot purchase from her. Still up ah there, just above her, with its great brazen moulu aud wiuKeU tongue, the bell hung! A worm-eaten block for a step, and one small, white hand had clasped it self above the clapper tbe other pre pared, at the lirst tremble, to rise and clasp its mate, aud the feet swing oil"; aud thus she waited. Jasper was old ami slow but he was sure, and it came at last. A faint quiver, uud the youug feet swung irom their rest, aud the ten der hands clasped for more than their tender lire, the writhing thing. There was groaning aud creaking of the rude pulleys above, aud then the btrokes came heavy aud strong. Jasper's hand had uot lost its cunning, nor his arm its strength. The tender soft form was swung and dashed to and fro. It was bruised by the brazen sides aud tortured by the ulishapely tongue. But she cluug to aud caressed the cold, cruel thing. Let one stroke come and thousand might follow for its fatal work would be done. She writhed her white arm about it, so that at every pull of the great ropes it crushed into the llesh. It lore, wounded aud bruised Iier but there in the solemn twilight the -brave woman swung, and fought with the cruel curfew; uud God gave her. victory! The old bell-ringer said to himself, "Aye, Huldah, my work is done. The pulleys are getting too heavy for my old arms. My ears, too, have failed me at last. I dmna hear one stroke of the curfew. Dear old bell, it is my ears that have gone false, aud uot thou Farewell, old friend." And just beyond the worn pavemen a shadowy form again went Hitting past him. There were drops ot blood upou the white garments; aud the face was like the face of one who walked in he sleep, aud the hands hung wounded uud powerless at her side. Uromwell paused with his horsemen under the dismantled maypole before the village green. He saw the man who was (o die at sunset standing up in the dusky air, tall as a king aud beauti ful as Absalom. He gazed with knitted brow and angry eye; but his lips did not give utterance to the quick com mand that trembled upon them, for a young girl came Hying toward him. PiUeman and archer stepped aside to let her pass. She threw herself upon the turf at his horse's feet; she lilted her bleeding aud tortured hands to his gaze, aud once more poured out her prayer for the lile of her lover; witii trembling lips she told him why ltich ard still lived why the curfew had never sounded. Lady Maud, looking out from her lat ticed window at tbe castle, saw tbe great Protector dismount, lift the faint ing form in his arms anil bear her to her lover. She saw tbe guurds release tlie prisoner, aud she heard the shouts of joy at his deliverance; then she wel comed the night that shut the scene out rrom her envious eyes, and sepultured her in its gloom. At the next tnatiu bell old Jasper died; at curfew toll be was laid beside the wile who had died m his youth but the memory of whom had been with him always.
