Tub crew of tho whale-ship Henry

A man who was affl oted with the St.

In the Senatorial contest Mr. Pendle
ton holds tho lead, but it is hardly
probable that he will be able to
win. The opposition is divided
among Morgan, Ewing, Ward,
Hurd and Payne, Mr. Convorso, who
was put down as a warm Pondlcion
ntan, shows signs of hedging for the pur
pose of entering the fight In his own be
half. Men who have been over the Slate
ay that Ewlng's strength is greatly
overrated, just as it was in the Guber
natorial Convention' last spring, and
that when the time oomee Morgan will
be found stronger than Ewing. Hurd'a
strength Is confined to a dozen or so
votes, and will go to Payne after the
Brst ballot or two. Ward has consider
able strength in all directions, but it
will be wasted for want of leadership.
While many prefer him to any man
mentioned, he lacks the power to con
centrate, his followers, and there does
not seem to be among them a single man
baying the qualifications of a leader and
manager. Payne Is only a candidate
provided Pendleton nan not be nomi
nated. He ia lor Pendleton; holds that
Gentleman George has claims that
should be respected, and only pormlts
his friends to use his name in oase votes
enough to secure Pendleton's nomina
tion can not be securod. It is now evi
t'eut that the Enquirer and lis following
are lor Ewing, and that Mr. Pendleton,
for the first time In his career as a poli
tician, makes a ti,;ht with the organ

have generally been thwarted. Should

LOVERS' MOUNTAIN.
We forget iu what uook it was, many
years ago' that we read the story of a
lover who was to win bis mistress by
carrying her to the top of a mountain,
and how he did win her, and how they
ended their days on the same spot.
We think the scene was in Switzer
land, but the mountain, though high
enough to tax his heart to the uuermost,
must have been among the lowest, li
was, at any rate, so blub that the father
of the lady, a proud noble, thought it
impossible lor a yoinm man so burdened
to scale it. For this reason alone, iu
scorn, be bade him do it, and hia daugh
ter should be his.
The peasantry assembled in the valley
to witness so extraordinary sight. They
measured the mountain with their eyes;
they communed with one another auu
sno.ik their heads, but ull admired the
young man, and some ol his auendtuiis,
looking at the village dunieis, thought
the) could do as much. TUB lather was
on horseback, apart and sullen repent
ing that he bad subjected his daughter
even to the show ot SUOU a hazard; but
ue ihotigut it would teach his inferiors
a lesson.
The young man (the son of a smill
lauded proprietor, who hud sjine pre
tentious to weaitu, though none Lu uo
biliti ) stood, respectlui-iookiug but
confluent, rejoicing iu ins heart uut lie
-non. . wiu ins lady-love, though, at the
cost ol a noble pain, wuich be could
hardly think of as a paiu, considering
who it was ne was to carry. If he dico
lor it, he should at least have had her in
his arms, and have looked her in the
fi.ee, which he contemplate I witU such
tiausport as is known only to reul
loVei'o; lor none others know how re
spect iiei ii i ii-. the joy of dispensing
. i.ii (duality, and how the dispensing
with formality euuobles and makes
gratelul the respect.
The lady stood bv the side of her fa
ther, pale, anxious, yet hopeiul. She
thought hei luVur would succeed, but
only because sue thought bin lu every
respect the noblest oi uls sex, and that
nothing was too much lor his streiigih
and valor. Shu knew not what might
uappeu in the chances oomiuou to all.
She le.t the bitterness of being hersell
the burden iu him auu the task; and she
dared neither to look at nur lather nor
the mountain. She flxed her eyes now on
the crowd (which, nevertheless, sue be
held not), and now on her hand and bur
linger ends, which she douoled up to
rn urd her with a pretty pretense tho
..ni) decupuou she uad ever Used. Once
or twice a duugliler or a moiher slipped
out ot the crowd, and, coining up to her,
notwithstanding their fears ol the lord
baron, kissed that baud which she kuew
not what to do with.
The lather said, "Now, sir, to put au
end to this mummer) ;" and the lover,
turning pale lor tne first lira 9, look up
the lauy.
The spectators rejoice to see tho man
ner in which he moves off, slow but se
cure, and us if encouraging his lady
love. They mount the Ull i ; they pro
ceed well; he halts an instant before he
gets midway, and seems reiuslng some
thing; thcu ascends at a quicker
rate, and now being at the midway
point, shlits the lady from one side
to the other. The spectators give a
great shout. The barou, with an air oi
indifference, bites tne tip of his gaunt
let, aud then casts ou tueni an eye oi
rebuke. At tho shout, the lover resumes
bis vs ay. Blow but not teebie in his step,
)et it gels slower. He stops again.
Tue women be0riu to tremble, but the
uieii say he will he victorious. He re
sumes again; be is lia.t-way between the
middle and the top; he rtisues, he stops,
he staggers; but be docs not lull. Anoth

.Now he is all but ou the lop! He halts
ugain ; ue is flxed ; he staggers. A groan
goes through the muintuue. Suddenly,
Ue turns full iron t toward the top; it is
luckily almost a level; he staggers, but
it is lorward. Yes; every limb iu the
multitude makes a movement as ii it
would assist him. See at last; he is on
the top! and down he falls flat with his
burden. An enormous shout! He ha
wou! he has won! Hut neither of them
gets up. 11 he has fainted, it is witu
joy, aud it is in her arms.
The baron put spurs to his horse, the
crowd lollowing him. Halfway he is
obliged to disunion ; tbey ascend the
rest of the hill together silent and hap
py, the barou ready to burst with shame
and impatience. They reach the top.

"Traitor 1" exclaimed the baron, "thou
hast pracliced this lent betore ou pur
pose to deceive me; arise I"
You can not expect it, my lord," said
a woitby man, who was rich enough to
speak his niiud; "Samson himsell might?
take hie rest alter such a deed."
' Part them!" said the barou.
Several persons weut up, not to part
them, but to congratulate them. Tuese
people close; they kneel down; they
.. nd an ear; they bury their laces upon
thuin.
"Heaven lorbid they should ever be
parted more!" said a venerable man;
"they never can be." He turned his old
lace, streaming with tears, and looked
up at the baron: "My lord, they are
dead!"
TUE UELGM OF EUB1PIDES.
As olteu in tue other tragedies ol Eu
ripides, so In tuia play, we see the deep
dissatisfaotlon of tue thought ut Greek
mind with the popular representation oi
the gods, conduct ia ascribed to them
in it which In human beings would be
below contempt. Certainly it Is
to- Here and Aphrodite, two of tbe
least reputable Dwellers on Olym
pus, that Helen's misfortuues are iu
the first Instance due. But the great
traditive deities Athene and Zeus al
though the former is tbe object of Hel
en's especial devotion, do not Interfere
to save her; the Trojan and Grecian
hosts are slaughtered through a decep
tion which Zeus himself authorizes;
and the inspired soothsayers of both
armies, as Menelaus' slave indignantly
points nut, are duped as much as any
one. Nevertheless the Heleua of Ean
pides bears also witness to the efforts
of noble minds in ancient
nays alter a better theology; to
i hat "seeking if haply tbey might
find God," which is their eve -enduring
rebuke to those who turn away fiom
Him now that He 1b revealed. Theuoe's
s iisoof the paramount oiaims of right
eousness, her reolutiou to save her
brother at all hazards lrom acting un
justly, as the greatest kiukuess she can
do him, is an lusianoe oi this, bo, too,
is the heaveu-sent reoompense whicu
comes, if late, to reward Helen's long
patience aud firm grasp oi the
rook of duty, oven when rug
gcdest aud sharpest to her ban.;.
And, lastly, so is the prolound con
viction winch the whole texture ut the
story bears witness to, that the dead
when tbey have gone from us still live
the conviction w inch g.ves all its m ail
ing to the strong appeal of Menelaus
beside the tomb ol Proteus, and winch
makes Helen do (only with a happier
result) what Piuuroh finely says De
mosthenes did iu his last extremity
liudiiig the altars of other gods unable
to protect her flee to death as a surer
reluge, being oue mightier than they.

situated about ten lin.es out on the c.

who attend church at least twice on nun

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.
As Instance ef the Oldeu-tirae Management.
Tbe following anecdote was a favorite
one with the late Amasa Walker. The
moral ia applicable in these days:
There was a distriot school In the old
town of North li ooMiel I that was par
ticularly difficult tu govern. In tact, for
several winters the boys bad aueoeedod
in barring out tbe teacher and closing
the school. Tbe selectmen were anx
ious to put a stop to ibis kind of work,
aud it was finally decided that the
selectmen should advertise lor a teach
er, the advertisements tu set nam an
the difficulties such a teacher would
have to contend with, and offered in-
oi eased compensation to any one who
would uudertake ihe job. The adverlis
i, mill was dulv inserted iu tne count)
paper aud in the Boston and Providence
papers.
But few days nnu eiapsea wueu a
young tripling, an unuurgrauuaie oi
Brown University, maue uis appearance
before the selectmen, aud applied lor
ihe school. Tue seleotmen lookol at
him, aud at eaoh other, in perleoi aston
ishment. At last the ciiai man said :
Do you think you can toaoii this
sohooi ?"
"I oau try, sir."
"But no one else has succeeded."
"That is what the adveriisement
says."
"And are you willing to uudertake
it?"
"That Is what I am here lor."
"What method, may we ask, do you
propose to pursue?"
"1 will tell you at tbe close of the
term."
"But if you fall?"
"I don't propose to."
"Are the terms satisfactory ?"
"Well, yes; but as you doubt my abil
ity to teach lue school, 1 will further
amend by mailing tue proposition that if
1 do tail I am to receive nothing, and if
1 do succeed, tue price to be doubled."
This was agreed to, aud ihe teacher
engaged. It was not long beiore the
fact fcOt noised tnruugh the district au
over the the town. As usual, the sohooi
commenced ou the Monday afier
Thanksgiving. The leacuer had been
employing ihe Intervening time lu mak
ing a choice selection ot hickory sticks
with the knots well defined ou the sur-
lace.
That distriot school-house had never
beiore been so ve,l tnlcd ou the first
nay ol tue term, The leacher addressed
ihe sem ml, laid down his rtnes, auu
then p.oceeded tog. ado the sunoiars.
When the Urst class was called out.
according to a preconcerted plan, a giant
youth, the sou ot lue village bl.ioksiu to,
Stepped into the middle ot tne U or auu
commenced a uistui bauue.
"Take your seat, sir," said the
teac tier.
When I get ready," was the defiant
answer.
"Su p this way, sir."
"We.l, yes, 1 guess I will," and the
young giant weut 101' the tuacuer. W he ..
within u few steps oi mm ue was ordered
to atop. Tue blue eyes ul the teacher
looked right at him, aud he cautioued
mm not lo come any nearer. Tue boy,
iiieasur.ug the relative strength of both
by bulk, kept on. The teacner struct
out Hum the lelt shouluer and laid the
huge lonu of the boy ou to. floor; he
sprang to Lis feet aud was kuockoo down
lue second and third lime. Tue teacher
then reached round and took one of his
sticks and belabored the lellow nil he
bawled with paiu.
There was no more trouble that day,
but the victory was not won. ibis the
leacher understood. Tue next morning.
alter the school had beeu called to or
der, there was a knock at the door. Tne
teacher opened It, and was met on the
threshold by a man ot about forty years
of ago. huge in stature, witu laoe be
grimed aud a long ooarse, grizzly

'What do you wish?" mildly asked
the teacher.
'To enter sohooi."
All right, sir; step in and take a

'.Now, sir, stand up, and 1 will see

stood up, and With seme uilhcuiiy sue

but tailed in words ol iwo syllables.
"You will take your seat iu the pri

'I'll see you nrst. "
