In long-forgotten ages, a castle high and grand
Was glist'ning o'er the meadows to ocean's foaming
strand •,..':.
Around it lovely gardens, with flowers sweet and
bright,
•ndorystal fountains gushing in rainbows' mystic
light.
A proud, victorious monarch sits there upon his
throne
Ferocious, pale and cruel, he rules his realm alone*
His thoughts are blood and horror, his eye beams
withering rage.
His words are scourge' and torture, with gore on
every page.
Anoblejiair of minstrels approached his palace gate
With sunny curls the younger, gray-baired his aged
mate
With ancient harp the master high on his steed did
ride, .. r$
The youth with golden tresses stepped faithful by
his aide.
The harper spoke, "Take courage be brave ,cheer
up, my son
Thy sweetest lays remember, let voice .and heart
sound on
Let thy most tender feelings in joy and sadness start
With music's charms1 we'll soften the monarch's'
stony heart.'*
They stand beneath the arches. In bright and pur-.
pie sheen,
On flashing throne reposes the monarch and hie
queen '.-•»,
The King in fearful grandeur, like northland's ruddy
light,
The Queen all love and sweetness, like moonshine
pale and bright ...
The ht^-ptli'.'nge live and warble, moted by the
master's art,
And music, weird, phantaltlc, vibrates through
voice and heart
As youthful notes are gushing, like clarion loud and
W
The master's voice between them, like spirits mourn
ful ley. t'blf ,.•
They sing of spring-amie's blossoms, of love in by
gone times ,..
Of liberty and manhood, of truth and freedom's
''chimes i'i-» •.... ,'..•• :.: 7
Of all the trembling sweetness which human heart
hath blessed, "','
Heroic thought and dating that cheers the human
".breast. ijjs-*!' *v
The gay and courtly circle siand dumb and silent by,
The monarch's mail-oUd minions bow down to God
on high ug /. t, ,• iy,. .--.
The queen, in joy aadjsadness, at passion's blind
behest, .'
Throws down upon the minstiels the rose-bud from
her breast.
"Ye have beguifed my people, and now mislead my
wifel"
The monarch's voice sounds savage, with death and
ca.-nage life
His flashing blade is '.sinking deep in the singer's
heart,
Bilght streams of gore are gushing where God-like
lays did start.
Like clouds befoie the tempest, flown to the liitners'
swarm
The singer's life is ebbing, clasped in his master's
arm
He wraps bis cloak around him, he lirta him on his
horse,
Tiea upright to the* caddie the pale, the youthful
corse.
But 'neath the castle's portals the master pansed to
rest,
He grasped his harp, the beauteous, with magic mu
sic blest,, .. .J.
And dashes it to atoms)1 its lmgmentf strew the
grounds
Hark! how hie voice, now horrid, through hall and
garden sounds
"Woe, yel ye halls of spleidor ne'er charms of min
strel'slay
Resound through court or palace, no long, no harp*
er's play
Nought but despair and anguish,and steps of fright
ened slaves,
Till o'er decay and ruin the ghost of vengeance
raves 1
"Woe, ye I ye beauteous gardens, in spring's en
chanting grace,
Behold this pale, this deadly, this horror-stricken
face I
Hay tret and blossom wither, may stream and fount
ain dry,
That ye in future ages a stony desert lie 1"
"Woe, thee thou cruel tyrant thou curie of min
strelhood
for naught be all thy striving for riches, fame or
blood
Thy name sheJl*be forgotten in dark oblivion's night,
Like thy last dying struggle in Time's eternal flight."
The minstrel's curse ascended, and heaven heaid
his call,
The halls are mould and rubbish, decayed the pal
ace wall
One solitary colnmn of splendor speaks and might.
But crumbling and decaying may fall befoie to-night.
IusteHd of flow'ry gardens, but heath and desert
land
No tiee for cooling shadows, no spring through
burning sand,
ilia name to lost, forgotten, like dust beneath a
hearse,
Sunk down in dark oblivion, the minstrel's with'r.
ing curse.

CHAPTER in
Baby Claude being pronounced eon
valcseent by Dr. Oraham, it was not
many days .before Mrs. Archer had es
tublished herself and Qhildren in cheer
ful apartments near...Kensington Oar
dens, and engaged a proper
nursetoas-and
sist her in the care of the little ones.
Meanwhile Mr. Carden, by dint of pri
vate agents and his own exertion, had
instituted a regular and continuous
search for her delinquent husband. He
made Eugenia write a lettertothe old
address, detailing the good fortune in
store for him, and entreating him no
longer to conceal his place of hiding
but subsequent inquiries at the Charing
Cross post-office having elicited the
fact that-five or six epistles directed to
tip. Q." were still lying there unclaimed,
and the wife, remembering that the last
time she beard from her husband he
had asked for a large sum of money,
which she had forwarded to him, lad to
the fear '.that,0 her predion* aus-i
picions were correct, and that Henry
Archer had left the country* Still Mr.
Carden advised,.and she agreed, that
they Would not advertise until all other
means of finding him had failed. To
be successful, ae advertisement, howev
er cautiously worded, moat attract pub
lic notice andtohide the disgrace of
the father of her children from the
members of her farrily and his own,
was sfill the chief desire of poet Eu
genia's neert. And aa it seemed prob
able, from his former habits, that the
lower part of the Strand was the place
frequented it and the adjoining locality
day oy dayj patiently treading ita
length by early morningarni after dark,
when, as he rightly judged-, one desir
ous of non-recognition would be moat
likely to take exercise ind carefully
noting the faces and figures of 'all
who passed him in hopes of discover*
ing the man of whom he was in &ear6h,
even under a different disguise. Still,
he encountered no one, dressed as na
tive or Englishman, who reminded bim
in the slightest degree of the clerk
who had embezzled three thousand
pounds of bis money and had it not
been for the thought of Eugenia wait
ing anxiously for news at home, would
have given up the business' altogether
as a fruitless trouble but, for her sake,
be persevered jH a pursuit which was
utterly distasteful to bim for her sake,
for whom he Would havo done all things,
even trampled on his own great heart
As, with the usual cod in vie*?, he
was taking bis way early one morning,
in the direction of the Strand, he was
hailed with a shout of recognition from
a passing Hunioiu and before he could
decide from whom it proceeded, the
cab-horse was on its^baunehe*, the door
had flown open With a loud ban?, and
Cbarley Oswald was. on the. pavement,
shaking his haod as though he we,re
never going to relewe it.'1 I air aiue?

Captain Oswtld pulled the bell violently
and forgot, in the description of his
own misfortunes, enquire any farther
after the business of his friend".
"By which I miy''concludeT* said
Mr. Carden, alluding to the hope Cap-'

he added, with a wink. "London's a

dare say, you'll find out. before long, old
fellow, notwithstanding you look as de

Mrs. Lennox wrote me a note from
make her sister En
geoia come uptotown on any day and
at a!ny houFtil^ „chos'e and asked, if,
for her satisfaction, I would be at the
Waterloo Station the following after

much as if it'were only a jest between
the two sisters, that I saw no harm in
doing as I was asked, particularly as I
had* always liked Mrs. Archer, and
hought that it would be pleasanttosee
her again.' So went to the station,
and, cure enough, Bbe came, looking as
pretty as ever, but awfully nervous and
miserable, and said sbe expected some
body to meet her, but, as no ene ap*
-peared, I put her in a cab, and she was
driven off in the direction of the
Strand,-though I couldn't make her
say here she was going to. Ot course,
it seemed stther queer to me, and I said
as much to her sister bat I never im

that Mrs. Archer corresponded with

Carden, don't let us quarrel about it.
I forgot the Archers were such friends
yours, or I should not have spoken
so lightly of her as I did. But I
meant no harm. She never took a
fancy to me, as I said before, and, if
she had—"
"If she bad, sbe would never Lave
told yon of it, Oswald, you may depend
upon that. If you think otherwise,
Mrs. Archer is very different woman to
what you suppose her to be. With re
spects to her journey to London, I
know all particulars, though I am cotter
at liberty to tell you the true reason
but you may take my word for it that
it was a good, and a pure, and a woman
ly one. And, if the day should ever
dawn, as I trust it may, when her
character shall be acknowledged to be
blameless by her friends and relations
you will see that I am right."
"1 am Buro of it" said Captain .Os
wald, rising, for his friend, bad risen
preparatory to departure "for I al
ways thought her a great deal too jolly
to have any thing wrong about her.
Has Archer heard any thing of this
business, Carden 7 What does he say
of it."
"I know nothing, and I care less,"
rejoined Mr. Carden. "Archer was
never a favorite of mine, although cir-
nnmr""n rri'-
other's company." Th probabilities
are that be has heard nothing of tbes
rumors about bis wife. But, if I can
get her name cleared with her own
family, I shall do it."
"I am very glad to hear you take
such an interest in the matter, Carden
and, if using my name—that is, relat
ingtothe part which I regret I took in
the business—can effect any good, use
it freely for I never thought I should
do the poor girl such an injury by com
plying with her Bister's request."
"I am sure you didn't!" said Geof
frey Carden, as they warmly shook
hands upon it, "and I shall tell Mrs.
Archer so, thefirsttime I see her."
"And will you give me her address
•'Willingly she will be pleased to
see the face of an old friend," with
he wrote Eugenia's direction
down upon his card, and the two men
separated, equally pleased et the inter
view which had just taken place.
Then Geoftery Carden took his waying
again toward tbe Strand, going there
from habit almost more than inclina
tion, for the hour at which he thought
there was any likelihood of meeting
Harry Archer was past. He had trade
a point each day of calling at tbe
Cbariog-Crosa poat-office to leara if the
last letter Eugenia had written had
been asked for but, as he placed his
foot upon its portals, on this particular
morning, he saw an apparition a hun
dred paces in advance of him, which
made him withdraw it iu all haste to
pursuit—the apparition ot a man,
okd in native costune, who was strid
ing in the direction of the Strand.
Under the circumstances, an East-In
dian native would, of course, at anyling
time have attracted his attention but
East-Indian natives were in London by
the dozen, and he had followed them
for miles many times before, and dodg
ed them up by-streets, ani came upon
them unexpectedly round corners,
only to find them hawking missionary
tracts, or selling bottle3 of otto of rose,
or packets of curry-powder, and in each
caso unmistakably nasty and genuine.
But in the native whom he now saw
before him, threading quickly tbe
crowded pathway of the Strand, there
was a marked peculiarity which he bad
never ssen in and of bis race before.
I have said that he Was "striding," and
Geoffrey Carden- knew well that an
East-Indian never strides like an Eng
lishman. In all other respects, Henry
Archer's disguise ably sustained the
character he professed to be but be
could not or he bad forgotten to alter
the method of his walking, and his
step betrayed him for Geoffrey Carden
had not watched it for a second from
the rear when he had found his man,
and detormind to run him down. But
he was compelledtoact cautiously, for,
remembering that he wore no disguise
himself, he thought it likely that Arch
er, catching sight oihim, would take
to tunning and though an East-Indian
might run down the Strand at mid-work
day without much notice being taken
of him, an Englishman in full pursuit
of bim would bo suretoattract a crowd,
and(tbe chase would turn into a hue-and
cry. And so the first thing he did was to
pull his hat down over his eyes, and
cross to the otherside of the road, whence
he hoped to observe the actions of the
man he followed without being seen.
Once there, he soon came alongside of
bim, and, even with the street between
them, noted several things which con
vinced him his surmise was right. In
the first plaee, Archer evidently anx
ious to avoid any thing which could
suggest the real land of his birth to a
spectator's mind, had adopted too full
costume of a Bengalee, and this was a
matter of suprisetoCarden, who won
dered a man! of bis sense should not
have remembered that a native, when
in this country, generally wears some
European articles of clothing, and that
it is not at all unusualtosee them go
ing about in cloth trousers surmount
ed by a flowing white garment, or a
great-coat crowned with a linen turban
Archer might have made himself more
comfortable, he thought, iu such inclem
ent weather, without running great
er risk of£ discovery. And, when the
supposed native halted for a moment,
pteporatory to crossing the street, and
Carden halted oppositetohim, he saw
....
that bit feet, which were stained and
bare, were not the flat, square feet of a
man who has walked from infancy
without shoes, but, had the contracted
toes induced by our improved modern
custom of wearing boots a great deal
too small for us added to which, al
though he had cut eff his whiskers,
Henry Archer had not shaved his
head, and Borne o* the short, curly
locks were straying from beneath bis
awkwardly-worn turban and to a cian
like Geoffrey Carden, who had spent al
most all his life among the Bengal na
tives, these small contradictions were
very conclusive trguments that the
person whom he saw was not what he
professsd to be having arrived at
which conclusion, it was not difficult
for him to trace his former clerk's fea
tures in those of the supposed Ben
galee. Sure of his man, and rejoicing
inwardly that his effort3 had at last
b«en crowned with success, Carden con
tinued to traverse the opposite side of
the Strand, keeping fpace with every
btep of Henry Archer's, until the lat
suddenly turned up a by street, and
not to miss, he was compelled to follow
bim. There was no crossing near at
band, and a stoppage in the road just
then so that, whei he bad contp-*ed
to reach the other side, and pa&sed into
the by-slreet before mentioned,he lound
itut the native had so far outstripped
him as to be at the farther end, and,
in order to regain lost ground, he qnick
ened his foot-steps almost to a rua.—
The little street was comparatively
speaking, empty his action attracted
attention, and the native turned aud
saw him. Then Geoffery Carden was
certain, if he had not been before, that
it was Henry Archer whom he was pur
suing, for with that one glance the dis
guised man started, stopped, and finally
rushed into the shop nearest at hand.
The shop happened to be a small green
grocer's, and Carden, not able at the
moment to think of any thing in that
line which be could pretend to want,
waited about a little lower down on the
same side of the street, until Archer
fhould appear again. Ten, twelve min
utes passed, and still there was no sign
ot bis coming so he ventured to fol
low him, taking as bis excuse a request
to be told the way to Catherine street,
when, on entering the shop, he found
to his surprise that, as far as customers
were concerned, it was empty.

From the New York Indeprndenl.
There have been lately several elab
orate articles remarking upon what
they call the lack of force and fire in
the clergy. The world wonders that,
with such arousing theme as the Gos
pel, and with Bush a grand work as sav
souls, tbe ministry should ever be
nerveless. Some ascribe it to lack of
piety, and some to timidity of temper?.
meat. We believe that iu a great
number of cases it is from the lack of
nourishing food. Many of the clerical
brotherhood are on low diet. After
jackets and sacks have been provided
for the ei^ht or ten children of the
pasrsonage, the father and moiher must
watch the table with severest economy.
Coming in suddenly upon tbe dinner
hour of the country clergyman, the
housewife apologizes for what she calls
"a picked-up" dinner, when, alas it is
nearly al ays picked-up.
Eight hundred or a thousand dollars
tor a minister is only a slow way of kil
him, and is the worst style of
homicide. Why do not the trus
tees aud elders take a millet or an ax,
aud with one blow put him out of his
misery
Congregations sometimes mourn over
dull preaching wLen themselves a~3 to
blame. Givo your minister more beef
steak, and he will have more fire. Next
to the divine unction, the minister
needs blood and he cannot make that
out ot ugh leather. One reason why
the apostles preached so powerfully
was that they had healthy food. Fish
ts cheap along Galilee, and this, with
unbolted bread, gave thgm plenty of
phosphorus for brain-food. These early
ministers were never invited out to late
suppers, with chicken salad and dungh
nuts. Nobody ever embroidered slip
pers for the big foot of Simon Peter,
the fisherman preacher. Tea parties,
with hot waffles, at ten o'clock at night,
make namby-pamby ministers but good
hours and substantial diet, that furnish
nitrates for the muscle, and phosphates
for the brain, and carbonates for the
whole fnme, prepare a man tor effec
tive work. When the water is low the
mill-Wheel goes slow but a full race,
and how fast the grists are ground. In
a man the arteries are the mill-race, and
the brain the wheel and the practical
of life is the grist ground. The
reason our soldie.s tailed in some ot the
battles was because their stomachs had
for several days been innocent of every
thing but "hard-t-ick." See that your
minister has a full haversack. Feed
him oo gruel during the week, and on
Sunday he will give you gruel. What
is called the "parson's nose" in a turkey
or fowl is an allegory setting forth that
in many communities the minister
oomes out behind.
The damage begins in the college
