WIDOW HAWKINS' TRIAL.
From the Providence (R. I.) Press.
" The old Hawkins estate " was about
as bare, rocky and unpromising; a farm
ae you oould find in all New England.

and yet the Hawkinses had held it for
many generations. There was a tradi
tion that "the old man of all had been
put on that place- and oompeiled to.

been the truth of that, it was certain
his desoendants- had - always shown
great attachment to the old homestead.
and would answer any disparaging re
marks concerning the land by quoting
" Gran tier Hawkins," who used to say,
"There's a master lot of reck, which

but there 'a tpott where the Hie is as

. The present owner 'and occupants
were the Widow Hawkins and her two
sons, Ephraim, a man of nearly forty
years, and Solomon, whs was "just
turned twenty.' Ana "tneee two

Not that they were bad, or even ill
disposed, but simply " trying. ,
The husband and father had died
when Solomon was a babe in arms, and
" the boys had been brought up with
out any head," as the widow expressed
it -
Ephraim inherited the family name
and most of the honors which had fallen
successively to their share such as
Deing selectman ' ana a member oi
the " School Committee. n ; . But his
father, grandfather and areavt-CTand
father had been Deacons, and as yet he
cad not been "chosen," although sev
eral vacancies had occurred since his
years and experience had rendered him
eligible to that olnce. -
- If mm a crraat Hn'ol tn f V- ;j J--
With a mothers' partiality, she deemed
it fitting that the father's mantle should
fall upon the son, . who was in every
way worthy to follow in the footsteps
of nis sire. And anotner thing " tried
the widow. Ephraim had never shown
any matrimonial inclination, although
his duty had been faithfully hud before
him " line upon line, precept upon pre
cept," but with strange perversity com
mon to human nature, (and 1 should
like to add, for the sake of truth, that
it leaches its highest development in
the masculine persuasion,) he seemed
deaf to her fond entreaties and blind to
his own interests.. .
Wise and deep were the arguments
used by the widow, but Ephraim would
oooly put on his hat and make his exit
in the middle of her . longest sentenoe.
Many and curious were the traps which
she set for her son, but he never for a
moment became entangled in any of
Lbem. : . ' --- v. r
Did she invite some of the farmers'
daughters " to pass the afternoon and
stay to tea," Ephriam was sure to be
absent at supper time and Solomon
would have the girls to entertain and
"see home." And Salomon, instead
of blaming his brother and sympathiz
ing with the poor woman in "her trials"
seemed to consider it good fun, and
would persist in rehearsing what the
girls said about Ephriam's running
away from them. " And many evenings
when he should have been at home
with his books, or in meeting with his
mother, he would be idling his time
away in some farmer's kitchen, in dan-
nus proximity to rosy cheeks and
ing eyes, or away on the ice where
some pretty girl would cling closely to
him, knowing intuitively that the more
helpless and dependent she seemed the
greater would be the care and attention
given her. .j. ... -.-
No wonder Mrs. Hawkins used to
eigh and say, "If Ephraim ever does
get a wife and Solomon don't get more'n
one. I shall be thankful." .
She had borne with commendable
spirit and silence, the remarks which
were made in her hearing, but there is
a limit to human patience, and it is a
fact that women can manage to say
most cutting and irritating things to
each other under the garb of sympathy
and condolence. ,
' It was at the sewing society, the first
which had "met" since Deacon Elsbree
had been gathered to his fathers.
Mrs. Smith, with an elongated face
and a voice toned down to the proper
key, said : "I felt so bad for you, Sis
ter Hawkins, when I heard they -was
going to pass your Ephraim by again,
and take a man so much younger, and
so little experience. It seems kinder
like a put upon you both, and a slight
upon your husban that's now dead and
gone, it really does." And she made a
desperate effort to subdue the rising tri
umph in hervoice. -
" Who have they picked out ?" asked
the widow, and she "looked ready to i
sink." far she had thought, "Surely!
they will take Ephraim new." I
It's not settled yet, but they are !
talkin'.'bout Car 'line's husban',' and
then she added, after a moment's pause, i
"I wish things had been a lee tie dif
ferent with Ephraim." - :-
Mrs. Hawkins tried to. brace herself
to hear the rest She was soon ac
costed with, Glad to see yon out to
day, Sister Hawkins; shows you ain't
no 'feeling 'boat Ephraim 's beln' slight
ed; we all 'spected you'd lot on his
bein' chosen, but you see t wouldn't
do, no how." - ' " '
.The pale face flushed, and then she
looked up to find that every eye was
upon her, and every one waiting to see
what she would say. ':' -
She spoke up -quite unlike herself.
"No, I don't see why it wouldn't 4o ;
my Ephraim's as likely a man as there
is in this town, and there ain't a person
with the right to speak agin' him, and
that's more'n can be said of soma folks
that 'pear to stand a better chance than
him."

firm in the belief that bis services could
not be dispensed with, when the "me

Ephraim and his mother had a long
evening together, and her trials were so
effectually shown to her son that the in
terview closed with the widow triumph-
ant and happy, and Ephraim had a sub
dued look which boded well for his
mother.
On the following morning Solomon
Un t
"Where are you going to pick'
up stones to-day. Epht" and was told.
" I have other work on my hands to
day, less to my mind, but I have Drom
ised mother not to 'try ' her any longer
by shirting." Solomon s eyes opened
wide, and ne did not nesitate to say,
" Hannah, there'll ' be fun now, -I
guess." lie was instantly stopped by
reprimand trom nis mouier.
Now Ephraim was one . of those
downright, upright kind of men, to
whom the battle is more than half over
when once they have "resolved," so his
mother felt no misgivings about him as
she watched him crossing the meadows
in the direction of Squire Whipple's.
I do not think the good woman ever
thought of the possibility of Martha's
saying " nay " to such an offer, but as
the day wore on and he did not come
home, she smiled to think what ardent
lovers these quiet backward kind of
men made, when they come to know
their own minds.
. , Solomon declared " that Eph was
making a fool of himself, going the
rounds of the whole town," and asked
his mother "what she'd bet Eph
wouldn't ask that 'ar Shnmbley woman
to add her forty years to his'n before
he was through with it"
By nine o clock Ephraim arrived, but
nothing could be gathered from his
face, and he refused to answer a single
question until he had his Bupper. . They
waited with what patienoe they could ;
Mrs. Hawkins said, "he always was
dreadful trying," and Solomon thought
Eph s symptoms good, judging from
his appetite."
At last he seated himself by the
broad, open nre-plaoe, and placing his
feet upon the fender,-commenoed : ' 1
went over to the 'Squire's and found
Marthy churning; so 1 took bold and
helped her. - She said something about
my running away from her generally,
but I didn't take any notice of it We
talked over about work and one thing
and another. She laughed at most
everything, but gave me some kind of
an answer, until I asked her, 'Marthy,'
savs I. ' what's your opinion about rais
ing a large family I Den't you think,
it's the Lord's . will, it is better to-l
have a good many children to grow up
together, than to have just two or
three, like yeur family and mine !". .
She jumped so that we almost upset
the churn, and then she snapped out,
Eph. Hawkins, wliat do you mean.
talking like that to me f Don't you ever
dare to speak to me again as long as
yoH live." I tried to explain, but she
wouldn't listen to a word, so I had to
leave, and I felt glad 'twas ordered just
twas, for a woman with such a tem
per would make an rm comfortable
wife.
The widow groaned, but Ephraim
told her "not to be discouraged, for
he did not give it up so." "I went
from there over to Mr. Wheeler's, and
thought I wouldn't waste time in
compliments; so when Sarah Jane eame
the door I asked her at once if she'd
be kind enough to answer a few ques
tions, and I told her a good deal de
pended on her answers, so I hoped she
would ten tne trutn. At that

had better oome and answer him, and
what should she do but leave. Sister
Wheeler came, and I said I think I will
call when Brother Wheeler is at home ;
and then I left" ' . ; .
- Again the' widow groaned, "and ac
cused her son of being more " trying'
than ever before. Solomon kept quiet,
for fear of being excluded from the con
fidence of the family. - ''Mother, said
Ephraim, . "don't find fault with me,
for I never worked so hard to please
yon in my life as I have done to-day,
and I have gone according to the light I
had." .
" I know, my son, bnt youH never
marry now. Oh dear, I am so tired.'" .
' "Yes I shall ; I did not lose oour
age a bit, but went from there to Eben
Howe's."
" Don't you tell me Betty Howe Jb

No, she wasnt at home, 'and when f

views, she owned that. Betsy hadn't
anv an t.Tioi. wu onf4lA f
any;' so that was settled, of course, and
left word with her about some town
business for A, ben, and came away." .
"At John Read's I found quite a
company. .You know by the time I got
there twas in the afternoon. Well, I
felt so thankful, for there was Ann
Simpson, Abbey Cole and Nancy Fish
er, beside tho Read girls. Somehow I
didnt feel quite as clear in my mind as
to the questions when they were all
laughing round me." '
"Oil, "interrupted Solomon, "if Td

so I asked them at once if they
think a woman ought to be willing
do the milking if her husband was
farmer and was called away on

Of course,1 said two or- three
them. . "Do you want to hire a hand,
Epht Take me, oh, take me;"
they all huddled up around me
I was almost crazy. . I don't know
I should ever have got away from them,
but I was tipping back in my chair,
and somehow it went over and I went
my full length on the floor. They
commenced screaming, and I suppose
they thought I was hurt, . for
called to .their father, and he came
running in. -Says he, "Brother Haw
kins, what is the matter 1 what have
you done to frighten these girls so ?"
6ays I, " They can't be more- fright

the chair mended I will settle the bill.
I. wanted to talk with you about
school in our district, but I guess
wm see you a own to the corner same
day ;" and I was coming away, but
hat had been . mislaid : somehow, and
after a long search Brother Bead lent
me his best one ; - and though it was
pretty large, I managed to wear
it ; by wrapping my handkerchief
around my head.. Becky Bead
was in the yard, and she
said " if she found my hat she'd brincr
it over, ana ui weren't at home she'd
stay and do the milking." I was going
to nave a iitue more taiK with her, but
l neara the other girls snickering, and
it upset me completely: " '
"Oh, Ephraim ; the whole town will
be laughing about yon. I know." -
- un, no, mother.' there's no occa
sion, for in all these places I never said
a word to any one about nunying, and
then you know I passed it off as though
I really did have business with the men
-
folks.
. "But what possessed you to ask such
strange questions f - Why did you not
leave those things to time T "
"Xo time like the pvesent to settle
points which might make trouble for
us if left to the future - At my age
wasn't going to ask any girl to marry
me without knowing her views. W hen
I got out of sight of Bead's house
sat down on the wall and tried to settle
whether I would give it np and go
home, or what I had better da
thought of all the hard work I had
done on this place, and of what you
said last night, that you d settle every
thing upon Solomon if I didn't marry
in a month: and he's nothing bnt
child, and not fit to be trusted with
clearing up the land; so, late as it was,
and hungry and tired as I felt I walked
over to the Widow Slater's. The
children came running out to meet me;
you know they always 'peared to like
me ; they had been crying because their
mother had been ordered to have the
house empty in a fortnight's time. As
soon as they told me 1 saw what my
duty was. and why my' way had been
hedged up all the day. I stayed an
hour, I guess, and we agreed upon
everything, and so I think your trials
are about over, mother, for she is going
to marry me as soon as ever we oan be
published.
"she: for conscience sake! who do
you mean, fur the widow has three girls
who have put on long dresses and taken
to doing up their hair."
" Why, mother, 'tis the widow her
self, though if I'd thought of it I'd
asked . Miranda some questions ; but
'tis too late now ; the bargain is made,
and when onoe I have the widow and
her seven children here, nobody oan
complain of my not having a family. I
think 1 have been led to great useful
ness."
To great foolishness, you'd better
say. liow am x to live witn au those
children running wild around here?
and Solomon will be flirting with those
grown-up girls. Dear me ; if your
father had only lived, and there'd been
some head here, you wouldn't have
tried me bo." ......
" No, mother ; I promise you about
the flirting. I'm going to do better
than that - v . -
- The promise sounded a little myste
rious to Ephraim and his mother, but
the explanation came soon enough, for
Solomon was missing one day, as was
also the widow Slater's daughter, Mi
randa; and when they 'returned Solo
mon presented his wife to the family,
saying that " he'd given his word to
his mother that he wouldn't flirt, and
he was bound to keep it, if it killed
him."" -
' The last we heard about the widow'
ahe was "tired " about what relation
Solomon's children will be to Ephraim
and his wife. And though Ephraim
has been chosen deacon, yet with such
a mixed up state of things at home, she
is of opinion that her trials have only
just begun.

a
The steamship Europa sailed from
Glasgow for this port on the 25th of
February with 195 steerage and 10 cab
in passengers. She experienced squally
weather during the first few days, which
increased to a strong gale from the
west with sleet and a heavy cross ao
on March 1. Next day (Thursday) at
noon another strong gale blew up from
the south-southwest, accompanied by a
j kvoo iK. . a xx i. au uie wma
checked to the west followed by an-
n , . ., . . .
inner gate com tne west-north west
with heavy cross seas. This continued
all night but on the next morning an
other fresh gale sprang up from the
west, wnicn necessitated double reeling
of all the sails. Toward evening the
gaie increased in lurv, and the vessel
i was put under very slow steam.
The scene at 8 o'clock was awful
The vessel had reached latitude 48:30
north, and longitude 38:50 west It
was dark as pitch, the horizon being
overcast, and the air was chilly with
the driving sleet and the dashing
spray. The wind whistled through the
rigging and rushed against the sides of
tne snip, wnicn groanea ana snivered
at every blow. In all directions foam-
crested waves from 70 to 80 feet huh
ran roaring npthegallant vessel, threat
ening to crush her, but she rode like a
duck.
At about 8.30 o'clock the steerage
and the intermediate passengers had
been partially quieted, and the Captain
sat down in the midst of the cabin pas
sengers, nearly all of whom had known
him and sailed with him before, and
began a conversation about old times ;
every one became interested, and in
joking, and even laughter, they forgot
the peril of the hour. At about 9:25
o'clock Captain MacDonald drew out
bis watch and excused himself, saying
that it was time for him to go on deck
to give his final instructions for the
night to his mates, as was his custom
before coin? to bed. Tnrnintr to Mr.
Alexander D. Corson, of No. 8, Bowl
ing Green, in this city, he said : " Cor
son, wouldn't you like to oome up and
look at the sea P Corson replied in
the affirmative, and they started np the
oompanionway together.
It was the watch of the first and
third mates, Messrs. Da vies and Waller.
These officers were- standino: together
on the bridge, under a canvas awning
which had been erected especially to
protect them from the weather. The
bridge was very stout and was braced
with iron stanchions and rails.
When Caotain MacDonald and Mr.
Corson reached the deck, the storm was
at its sreatest fury. The Cantain lanch-
ingly dared Mr. Corson to go with him
upon the bridge. Mr. Corson accepted
the challenge, and the two started for
ward. They had barely reached the
end of the deck-house when the ship
gave a sudden lurch to starboard, and
Mr. Corson's courage cooled. He said,
" Captain. I guess I'll go back, as Pve
only got my slippers on." The Cap
tain laughed, and said, "All right go
back then. Mr. Corson shouted,
"Captain, take care of yourself !" and
re-entered the cabin.
He had hardly seated himself when
he was startled by a tremendous crash,
quickly followed by the hoarse yells of
the seamen, "Helpl 'The Captain's
overboard!' . .
Mr. Corson sprang up the steps, and
saw at a glance the full extent of the
disaster. A tremendous sea had struck
the bridge beneath the starboard side,
twisting the horizontal iron railing into
a perpendicular position, and tearing
the planking up like paper. This broke
the wave, and its crest fell with a crash
upon the leeward side of the bridge,
snapping the stanchions and grinding
that part of the flooring into kindling
wood. The almost solid mountain of
water then bounded off into the sea
again, staving in two boats and break
ing the main boom, having evidently
turned a somersault in its passage. It
overwhelmed the Captain and Mates,
sweeping them far off into the deep.
Startled by the cries of the sailors,
Mr. Finlay, the second mate, rushed
upon deck in his undershirt and
drawers. . He bounded to the taffrail
just in time to see three black specks
disappearing in the darkness behind.
Screaming to the men to throw out
ropes and life-buoys, he sprang to the
hatchway and signalled the engineer
to ' stop the engines. The ship was
speedily slewed and stopped, and the
buoys and. ropes were east into the
waves, but without avail. But the
ship soon began to pay off in the trough
of the sea, and Mr. Finlay was com
pelled to order the engines to move

out for the lost captain and mates, but
all chance for rescuing them bad Kone
they had gone down in mid ocean.
- The news of the disaster was care
fully kept a secret from all but the
cabin passengers. The remainder of
the night was spent in prayers and
tears. Even the bravest refused to oc
cupy their state-rooms, and lay down
in their clothing in the saloon. Mean
time the gale became a tornado. At
about midnight, another wave struck
the Europa, and the noble vessel trem
bled from stem to stern. - The hurri
cane continued through the night and
all day . Sunday, Sunday night, and
Monday, the vessel, from necessity,
going under a very slow head of steam
all the time. To add to the terror of
the night of the disaster, one of the in
termediate passengers heard of the
Captain's death, and spread the story

From the New York Independent
The Northern Pacific Railroad.
BY SCHUYLER COLFAX, VICE-PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
Midway across the continent at the
head of twelve hundred miles of Lake

Buffalo, the western terminus of the
Erie Canal, and as near to it by water
Chicago a hundred miles west of
the longitude of St Louis or Galena
is the young city of Duluth. the initial
point oi the .northern Facifio Railroad.
That creat work, so mimifirntlv n
dowed by the Government is already
being pushed rapidly westward, under
its energetic controllers; and before the
snow flies next t all, it will be comple
ted to tne western line oi Minnesota,
where it crosses the Bed River of the
ortn wnicn runs northward to JLake
Winnipeg and one-eighth of its dis
tance to the Pacific Ocean will have been
accomplished."- Commencing, too, this
season on its western line, the work will
be prosecuted from both directions, and
long before the nation celebrates its
Centennial Anniversary of Independ
ence, the Lakes will be united by iron
bands with that Mediterranean of our
Northwest Fuset Sound.
Of the auspicious influence of this
enterprise, which but a few years ago

scarcely yet a full realization. Even
taking Chicasro as a startinc ooint it
will be via St Paul, where an arm of
the Northern Pacific Bailroad is reach

Sound than to San Francisco. . Besides
this, vessels from the Golden Gate to
China sail on what is called the grand
circle, instead of m a straieht line :
and anyone testing this by a string on
globe will be surprised at the result
they have not previously studied the
enectof the rotundity oi the earth, and
diminished protuberance as you go
northward towards the Pole. Henoe,
when they have sailed eight hundred
miles from San Francisco they are only
one hundred miles from the entrance
Puget Sound ; and this striking fact
shows the advantages this route will
have in commanding the through traffio
Asia with our Atlantic states, or
that portion of it which will pass over
the soil of this nation on its road to
Europe.
IS or is this all. Development is the
great duty of the Republic, after all its
recent trials. Beeouroes are the gift
the Creator. Developing them de
pends on the work of man. Along the
line of the Northern raoino Kailroad,
it follows up the water-course, the
Missouri and the Yellowstone on this
side, and descends by the valley of the
Columbia on the other, a vast body of
X' cultural land is waiting for the
igh, with a climate almost exactly
same as that of New York, except
that with less snow, cattle, in the
larger portion of it can subsist on the
open range in winter. Here, if climate

ural result, when railroad facilities

fields, and happy homes, and growing
towns ; while ultimately a cordon of
prosperous states, teeming with popu
lation, and rich in industry and conse
quent wealth, will occupy that now un.
developed and almost inaccessible por
tion ofour continental area.
But this road is fortunate also in its
pathway across the two ranges oi
mountains which tested so severely the
Paciflo Railroads built on the central
and the overcoming of which re
flected such well-deserved honor on
their energetic builders. At the Deer
Lodce Pass, in Montana, where it
crosses the Rocky Mountains, its alti

the Union Pacific Railroad at
Sherman, which is said to be the high
est point at which a locomotive can be
found in the world. And on the Pacific
of the continent it is even more
fortunate. From Arizona up to the
Arctic Circle the Columbia is the only
which has torn its way through
mighty range, the Andes of North
America, which in California is known
the Sierras, but which in Oregon
changes its name to the Cascades.
Nature has thus provided a pathway for
Northern Pacific Road through
mountains, the scaling of which,
the other line, at an elevation of
seven thousand feet (a most won
derful triumph of engineering), cost
Central Facifio company millions of
dollars, and compelled them, for sev
