What are the days but islands. So many little islands. And sleep the sea iJ silence That Hows nhout thorn all? There, when the moon is risen. The peaceful waters glisten ; , lint yonder plashing listen I Jt is the souls that full. The little boats are skimming. The wind-led boats are skimming, Each in its silver rimming. Apart from Ueotand shore. There not nn oar is dipping With just a cable's slipping Guides out the phantom Bhipfing That wanders evermore. Every day's an island, A green or barren island, A lowland or a highland. That looks upon the soa. The fruitful groves are crowning; There barren cliffs nro frowning, And rocky rlnint.eis drowning The little boats that lice. How mnny nro the islands. The teeming, talking islands, That in the sea of silence The roving vessels find? Their number no man knoweth ; Their way the current showeth ; The tide roturnless tlowuth As each is loft behind. The sailors long to tarry For rest they long to tarry Vt hen at some isle ot taery They touch and go ashore. With songs of wistlful pleading They follow fate unheeding. And with tho tide's rerediug Are drifted as before. Rut sometime, in the sailing. The blind and endless sailing. They pass beyond tho hailing Of land upon tho leo: The lowlands and the highlands, And all beyond the islands. Behold the sea of silence Behold tho great whito sea. - Buunktt's Coi.ouxe is tho beat and cheapest. A Woiltllnn nnl Fnneral, Tho Attakapas (La.) Register brings us thin sad nnrrntion: The wars of Providence are inscrutiv ble. Men come and go like leaves in (lie wind. (!od is merciful, and His decrees are all wise. We must bow in patient submission. This week we arc iriven a story in two chapters, short, and relating to tho changes of life. Read and profit thereby. "In the midst of life we are in death. Married. On Thursday evening, the 8th of April, at the residence of David Kerwick, on Bayou Sale, Dr. Charles R. Fassit, of Centrevillo, to Miss Jenny, youngest daughter 6f the late Robert II. itnvster. jh'ed. Suddenly at tho residence of David Berwick, on Kuyon hale, on Mon day night, April 12th, Dr. Charles R. t'assit, one of St. Mary's most honored and respected citizens. His remains were followed to tho grave by a very large number of our citizens and his brother Masons, in whoso beautiful grounds he was buried. Mr. Fassit was in Centerville on Mon day, cheerful, hopeful, and in the highest spirits. He remarked to his partner, Dr. Allen, that he would take a dose of hy drate of chloral, as he did not sleep well. On retiring to his room ot night, he mixed a doso of the salt, swallowed it, and on attempting to get into bed he said to his wife: " I fear I have taken the wrong medicine; I feel very sick," and fell dead by the aide of his bed. The bottle, properly labeled, was found to contain cyanide of potash. He had taken the wrong bottle, by mistake the most deadly poison. Mny the Great Ruler of ftfl tilings, who tempers the wind to the thoru lumb, be merciful to hig slllieted, heart-broken young widow. Ieatb of " Notorious Ilrlgand. Guicche, tht Brigand of Arezzo, Italy, was shot recently bj the King's Carbi neers. He was, it is said, the terror, but also the boast of the neighborhood; and, no less from admiration than from fear, he wag always sure, as long as he could elude the? bloodhounds of the lavy, of a supper and a sweetheart. Justice was over and over ayiin suspended by the dread of his anger, and tempting post?, usually so coveted in Italy, were refused by one official after another in deference to his mandates. The mode of his cap ture was in keeping with the remainder of his eventful history. Three of his pursuers took refuge one evening with a poor and aged couple, and their sus picions were at once aroused by seeing before them the promise of a more sump tuous repast than wag warranted by the peasants condition. The supper was preparing for (iuicche, and the fact was extorted from the temporizing pair. The Carbineers lay in wait for the solitary bravo, who noon came along singing a rispetti or love song, and they dinpetehed him before he hnd time to do more than bite off one of their fingers. There was mistletoe everywhere at Ilarbingdon Hull; it had even found its way into the cloak-room.where the gase lier was lull ot it. It was Christm eve, so ol course the mistletoe had a right to be there; but I don t think it ever hung over anything more fierce- looking that night than the face of Col Vcrschoyle, a great, tall, soldier-like, brown-bearded, brown-faced hero from Abvssinia. Colonel Vivian Verschoyle, C. B., and V. C, had done his country good service, and laurels bad been amply heaped upon him: he was "honorably mentioned" and duly lauded, receiving his fill of adulation and adoration from all the county round. His handsome face was as bronzed as it well could be, but all the mischief the African sun had done his comnlcxion. had not Bpoiled the beauty of those deep, dark eyes, or the perfect symmetry of those noble features. Yes, he was a wonderfully fine fellow, this Abyssinian hero, and a great lion in his way; all the girls about Harbingdon had fallen down before his shrine and worshiped; but their adoration ' was shortlived; it died away with a faint struggle when they heard the gallant colonel was engaged to be married. It was all up with our hero then I Abys sinia wag no longer an interesting topic of conversation, and I don't think the colonel was considered as handsome as he had once been. -.-, 1 There was a grand entertainment at Harbingdon Hall on Christmas eve, and Colonel Verschoyle and his fiance were at it. . The evening was more than half over, and the colonel wag in tho cloak-room, standing under tho mistletoe, looking with great, dark, angry eyes into the glowing fire. Let me tell you this brave warrior was very much put out just then, and. about as angry as he could be; you could see lie had a hot temper, and that something hnd occurred to render it hotter than ever. The colonel was a man who would hot stand being trilled with, and he considered that he had been trilled with in the most shameful manner; he was there to learn the cause, and he was waiting for Knid Vavasor to come and render an explanation. Meet me in the cloak-room m a quarter of an hour," he hnd said to her, in a low, determined, hard voice, as sne was whirled away in a waltz by a tall, dashing young officer, whose name the colonel did not know, and whoso un commonly handsome face he had not seen until just a few minutes before, when he caught eight of it in the con servatory, amid orange trees and came- lias, in very close proximity to the love ly, laughing lips of Enid Vavasor. I he storming ot aiagdaia was nothing to the fierce warfare in the heart ol Vivian Verschoyle as he witnessed that kiss, lie walked away to the far end of the long drawing-room at Harbingdon Hall, bewildered, maddened, furiously ancrv. fiercely jealous. 1 his great. strong, noble-hearted man had given all his pure, true love to that girl, and she had made a lool ot him. Another mo ment and she was whirled past him in the arms or this stranger wnltzmg, too. a thing she said she had given up be cause sho knew ho disliked it. Ihe colonel was besido himself, and then was that he went up to her and told her to meet him in the cloak room in a quar ter of an hour; and now ho was there awaiting her presence. bhe was long in coming, lie pulled furiously at his great tawny beard in his restless impatience, and yet he had not made np his mind what he was to say to her, though he felt that a girl who could act as she had acted that night was no fit wife for him. He was bitterly disappointed in her; for he believed her to be all that was pure and womanly, having a lively aversion to the fast, free cirl ol the period 1 hey had been engaged about a month, and her lather s estate joined Harbing don where Colonel Verschoyle wag now staying on a visit to ' Lord Wenborough. hind Vavasor was the only girl in family of nine sons, most of whom were n the army, and she was the very idol of her dotinz parents. Ua! she was coming now and ivian Vcrschoyle turned his haughty face to ward her as she passed through the door of the clouk-room. Enid Vavasor, how shall I describe . i i- , you, witn your strange, lancnui name and your strangely sweet Jacer iiwas not in beauty ana excellence oi leature she excelled, for beyond those rare blue eves she had not a single good leature, and vet strange contradiction it was lovely fnco. and Colonel Verschoyle knew it to his cost as he turned to meet it, with its winsome smile, its exquisite cnlorinzB. and its halo of chesnut brown hair, rippling and waving over the hrond. low brow. Bright scarlet holly berries Bhone out amid the brown ripples ith just the faintest soujicun ot mistle toe, and another bunch ot too same Christmas berries appeared on the breast of that snowy dress of softest lace. She looked almost as if she were enveloped in a white cloud as she came forwurd, nd met the haughty gaze of the colonel bent upon her. A little mischievous smiie pariea ner coral lips. For a moment she looked about to laugh outright; but she con trolled herself; and, looking up with a dancing light in her blue eye, she asked, What is the matter t Now our Abyssinian hero did not ex pect this effrontery, so he came to the point at once with soldier-like brevity. lima vavasor, you are a coqueiiK RI,d I won't stand it! I won t be trilled with!" Of course he meant to say much more, andmakea longer speech, only the pretty face looked so mocking that he stopped short in abrupt contempt. She came a sten nearer, and for gome minutea they stood there under the great bunch of mis tletoe together. " What have I done I she asked. The lovely, laughing eyes were raised nnuirinirly to his, but as he felt the spell her beauty was casting over him he grew more fierce. " What have yon doner hnt you shall never have the chance of doing again made a fool of mel" he thun dered forth, hia generally clear voice thick with passion. Remember, the colonel was madly in love and bitterly disappointed, and the storm in his breast, as I told you before, wag even hotter than the storming of MaxJala. 1 don t see haw that can be, said Knid, with provchn calmness, going up to the fire-place and putting her tiny white-slippured foot on the lender. " If you Lave been made a fool of, as you, say, yon must have made yourself one, Colonel Verschoyle." The pretty lips once more wreathed themselves into that mocking smile, and he was beside her in one fierce stride. "Knid," gaid he, "you know you have done wrong; you have played with me long enough; hut it ends now. Look here!" She looked up, all sweetness and sur prise, but 1 think she shrank a little as she met the blaze of passion in his eyes. "Look heie," he continued. "Since you have found some one else to kiss and flirt with, you can let me go. have been miserably mistaken; but it can't be helped now, only we had better part. You have shown me plainly enough this evening what you are. "What am I?" she asked, simply, " A flirt! " he exclaimed; " a heartless uirt! And we must part. Uh, yes, it you wish it, I suppose we must," said Enid; "but yon have said a very hard thing of me a thing 1 never heard before; and I would not stand it now, only I see you are angry and don t quite know what you are say ing. I never flirted in my life, sir!" The sweet eyes looked into his, but he was too irate to see their sweetness "You let that that fellow kiss you in the conservatory!" he cried. "What more would you have, or do I need, as a proof of what you are t Tho color came into her checks "Oh, then, you saw that, did you?" she said, and she gazed down thoughtfully into the tire. "Why did you allow it?" he do- nianded. " Because oh, because I like him,' she replied; "and then, you see, I stup idly let my maid put a sprig ot mistletoe in my hair to-night, and so I suppose he he cou Id n t help it. She was laughing now, and her face was Hushing brightly until it looked lovelier than he hud ever seen it before, Almost roughly the colonel seized her round, white arm, and tho laugh died away on her lips. " Let me go, she said; you hurt me. Please remember you are not in Abys sinia now, and English people have feel ings. lhen where are yours, prayf he cried. "Enid Vavasor, answer me; why have you trifled with me? His lips were white with suppressed passion, and, though she struggled to free her nrm, he held it still. l ou told mo you loved me, he said hoarselv. She smiled faintly as she replied, 1 told you the truth, Vivian." "Then why have you been false to me?" he asked. Enid, cease this mockery, and tell me what you mean b; your conduct this evening?" he added stamping his foot until the whole room shook. "Oh dear, you do frighten me so! said Enid, shuddering and looking pa thetic. I wish you would be more con siderate, and not treat me as if I were a great strong man likeyourself, and could tight it out. He let go her arm with a contemptu ous exclamation, olio had tried him very much, and, as he had said to him self that he was not a man to be frilled with, I think it was wonderful he kept as calm as he did. "There is nothing more to be said, then: wo had better part now, and let the world think what it will of us," he 8aid,in a low, cold voice; nnd Knid, who was watching him keenly, saw how deep ly he was roused. For a moment she hesitated, and look of contrition swept over her face; the next instant her lips curled with the old expression ot laughing derision. " The world will wonder when they hear Colonel Verschoylo has jilted Miss Vavasor." she said. "They will never hear that, and you know it. There shall never a word go forth against you from my hps, ho said, sternly. lhen you give me upf may 1 go away nowf she asked, like a child who has been reprimanded. " Are we to say eood-by here I A little white-gloved hand was offered to mm, as the sweet young tuce was raised toward his, but his heart was growing bitter ngoinst her and her play ful coquetry; so he did not take the out stretched hand; he only bowed low nnd said: " That is the best thing we can do, Enid Vavasor s eyes rested upon him for a moment as if she were about to speak, and he waited with a heart, the quick, fierce throbs of which told him she had only to say forgive me, and she would be his own once more; but Enid did not say it; for after that one long, waverinir look she simply nowed her young head with its crown of holly and went away, ana Vivian verscnoyie was left there alone underneath the mistletoe bouch in the cloak-room. Not lone alone, for presently the door was opened quietly, and when ho turned, perhaps expecting to see Enid again, he came face to face with the dashing young offi cer, the cause of all this trouble, a young man with skin as bronzed as erschoy!e s own, lor be nau nut laieiy escaped from Indiau suns, and had been but two days on English ground. In less than a quarter of an hour after ward you might have seen Colonel Vers choyle with a very different expression on his countenance, hastily searching tho great drawing-room, hig handsome features glowing and a bright color ting ing his brown cheeks. He was looking for Enid Vavasor; but he could not find her amongst the merry-makers and dancers. Presently, however, he caught clinipse of something white in the con servatory, amid the orange trees, and he was there in a moment. He threw him self beside her on the sofa, imploring forgiveness in tones of earnest entreaty, as though he almost feared to be denied. But it was a very sweet young face that smiled np at him with large, loving eyes as he caught her to his heart, laying, ' Euid. Knid. my darling, you should have told me that he was your brother!" Asiecdote of Webater. , A correspondent of Harper's Monthly says: In looking over an old note-book of my father's, written mnny years ago, I came across an anecdote which, if it has never appeared in print before, is too good to be lost. While John Branch, of North Carolina, was General Jacksoa s Secretary of the Navy, he, Tazewell, and Daniel Webster were walking on the north bank of the Potomac, at Washing ton. Tazewell, willing to amuse himself with liranch s simplicity, sad: .Branch, I'll bet a ten dollar hat that I can prove that you are on the other side of the river. ' " Done," said Branch. "Well," said Tazewell, pointing to the opposite shore, "isn't that one rideot the river?" "Yes." "Well, isn't this the other sidel" ' "Yes." "Then, as you are here, are you not on the the other side?" i " Why, I declare," gaid poor Branch, "so it is! But here comes Webster, I'll win back tho hat from him." : Webster hail lagged behind, but now came up, and Branch accosted him: " Webster, I'll bet you a ten dollar hat that I can prove that you are on the other side of the river." . "Done!" " Well, isn't this one side?" "Yes." " Well', isn t that the the other siJe? " " Yes, but I am not on that tide I " Branch hung his head and submitted to the loss of the two hats as quietly as he could. Haptlalng; the Bnbjr. In an Eastern town there is a woman who is extremely deaf, and her affliction has caused an extremely unpleasant mis take, of which her infant child is the victim. She took this babe to church the other day to have him baptized. While sho was waiting in the vestibule she thought she would keep him quiet by feed ing him tram a bottle of milk. While the child was still taking hig substance the mother was summoned to the church with the announcement that the minister was ready. In her agitation she threw the bottle from the babe s mouth hur riedly, when the gum nozzle came off, and a part of the milk was spilled upon the child's new clothes. When the clergymen took the child in his arms he looked down at it, and asked the mother what name should be given it. She, with her mind troubled about the acci dent, thought ha was asking how the clothes beenme soiled; so she answered: " Nozzle came off." Rather surprised, he asked again for the name, and she, thinking he did not understand her, bawled out: Nozzle came oil, 1 say! Whereupon that astonished divine poured witter on tho child's head, an said: " Nozzlo-came-off Ferguson, I baptize thee, etc., etc. What this woman wants to know is, whether the Legislature or somethin can't have that child's name changed to Henry, or Lucullus, or William, or gome other more euphonious appellation.
