When she undid her hair at night, About the time for lying down,, She came and knelt, I was so small There in my bed, her curls did fall All over me, light, gold and brown. I fell asleep amid her prayers, Her fair, young face, (far off it seems,) Her girlish voice, her kisses sweet, The patter of her pretty feet, Passed with me into charming dreams. And when I woke at merry morn, Through her gold hair I saw the sun Flame strong, shine glad 4pd glorify The great, good world. Oh, never can I Forget the words-"My darling one ?" Ab! checkered years since then have crept Past her and me, and we have known Some sorry and much tempered joy, Far into manhood stands her boy, And her gold hair snow-white is blown. The world has changed by slow degrees, And is o14 days recede alas! So much of trouble have the new, Those rare, far joys grow dim, seen through Sad times, as through a darkened glass. But jtistihis morning wheJ Woke, HowJovingly my lips were kissed, jow chaste and clear the sunlight shone On mother's.hair, like gold dust sown, Athwart thin clouds of silver mist. PETER. --o - .TOLVH A,boutthirty yews-ago, a Nor wegan-, -a-med jandJansen, came to this country, ard settled in t1p, back woods of what was then old Virgini gring"a farm in the mountain wilderiess near the '4'hse mountain. astire QS were then, as, indeed, they are still, tenanted by the bear, the great gray wolf (not the comparatively be4miess cayote of the West), and even the panther. I The Jansens were genial, kind hearted folk, and counted every body a mirhbor and a friend ivho lived witbin a circuit of thirty miles. If Jan or his wife- were needed in time of sicknese or.other emer ~gency, they took Peter- and Greta ind' set out, leaving the cabin loeked, and the key hung outside, ac'cording to theo customn of the country. *Some Christian soul," they, said, "might need, shelter or -+ meal, and the beasts could not un lck the door." Fear of the wild beasts pre ented their leaving the children at borne, though, in fact, neither bear nor pant hdr were ever known to ap)proach a house, and wolves only in case of extreme hunger. After living in the mountains for a few years, tbe Jansens be came convinced that there was no danger, and grew more careless. They frequently were absent in the fildl all day, leaving Peter and Greta alone. in the house. But they took care never to let the night fall before their return. The summer of 1850 wvas a hard oneO in that desolate region for man and beast. Crops of all kinds, even mast, failed. As the fall passed and winter approached, the deer actually came near the cabin in midday, driven by hunger. Rumors came from the far-off farms that the wol-es, gaunt and hunger-bitten, had at taked the cattle in the barns. In early December, Jan was sent to John Supplee, a farmer 'living about 'ten miles down the range. Supplee had fallen and broken his leg, and Jan, who had a gogi deal of medical skill, was the only person who could band age it proper:ly. "You will come with me, Ma ra," he said to his wife, "so that, in case 1' cannot come hack before night, you can bring the cart and ox home." Maria kissed the children good by. "I will be back before sun down," she said. "You can have the supper ready, Greta, and Peter may -milk the co. The children spent the day quietly at work in building a house for their hens. The sun was going down before they thought it was noon. Peter ran to milk the cow, and Greta put the bacon to fIey, and the corn-cake in the covered skillet among the hot "Quiet, quiet, good Spry " cried Poter, patting the white spot in her forehead. "Mother is com ing, and I have not done my work." Spry stood still. The milk was trained -and put away in the brown crocks. The cake was baked, and waited, smoking by bhe fire, but mother had not some. "What is that,,Peter ?" Greta rew white as she caugh.t his arm. It was a rushing, roaring, hissing noise, which filled the whole air; then followed by a deafening, prolonged crash, liko thunder. rhen there was a silence. The .sky was blue, the setting ;un was warm. The birds vere wittering their !ast good-nights efurc the darkness fell. The two hildren stood trembling in the loorway. "t is an evil spirit," said Peter, romptly ; for the - Jansens had )rought all their native super itions with them. "We have ave made him angry in somp vay. Come in and shut the loor." The crash had brought more rouble to the children than could my angry spirit, It was a torna o which had crossed the moun ains five mile, to the south, tear ng up great oaks by the roots, ieaping the ravines witbrocks id fallon trees. It bad crssed .&. road on whiuh thei' mother )n the c;rt. was slowly driving he.oX. Peter was fifteen, and 'a stout )Oy of. Ilis age. 3e sat 1OW hivering and whimpering in the orner like a scared baby. "Mother is dead ! He has killed ir !" lie cried. "Who would kill mother? I'll o.and find her. Come! Dosome hing, Peter!" said plucky little xreta, tugging at the latch with er shaking fingers. "Do ? What can anybody- do vben the spirits are out ?" He' crouched on the floor .and id his eyes-then started up. I know what I'll do-. They are ungry. In Norway ws always et out a meal for them in winter igits. ~My father never has lone it here." There was a haunch 6f venison faging to t.fie rafter, but. half ried. The boy laid it in front of h-e ~fire~ until it began to crackle d burn. Greta knelt on the iea thb watchinig it. She kne w hat this was the way in wvhich he angry spirits that filled the ountains of Norway were ap eased; but she thought they had eft all those terrible creatures bo ind them. Peter took up the smoking meat, carrfcd it to the edge of the woods, threw it down and ran back, his teeth chattering with error. "Come away from the window !" e cried to Greta. "It is death if vou look at them:" Ije threw himself fiat on the bed, But presently the little. girl ~rept to the window. "Sorely rothcr is coming. And they an't see. me, anyhow, through this chink," she thought. The moon had risen, and threw spectral light over thie open pace and the dark woods be vond. Little did the poor boy think hat while appeasing the anger of imaginary. spirits, he was whet ing theo appetites of creatures far more formidable. What were these black, shadowy shapes tearing at the meat ? The hild's blood grew cold in her eins.. The. spirits were indeed here ! They left the meat. They rept stealthily to the house. "Wolves ! wolves!" she shrieked. 'They are climbing in at the window." "Wolves ?" 1Peter, with one leap, reached he gun. He gave quick, convul sive shouts,.as a boy is apt to do with great excitement. Wolves! He could kill a hundred wolves ! A different thing from spirits! He had just time to close the heavy shutter as the fierce beast reached the window. The door was already shut. Greta drew the .net bar acr.o it -The kitchen was fuHll of the smoke of the roast ing meat, and the smell maddened the famished beasts, who each had tasted but a morsel of the flesb. There was a window in the washshed, for which there was no shelter. "They will not find it," whis pered Greta. "The bushes cover it." The children crept nois'elessly into the shed, carrying the guns with them, their eyes fixed on fhe square open hole, for which they had no defence. The barking and yelping of the wolves were at the other end of tha ho.bse, But suddenly a crash was heard among the bushes, and oie, two, a dozen heads appeared at the open window. _Peter fired. There was a yelp from two that were hit, and the pack retreated for a moment. The next moment, the whole pack, discovering the opening, rushed to that s'de of the house. The window was full of glea.!ing pyee, and fierce, open jaws. Again and again the boy fired, his sister loading the guns for him. But they were too slow. One great gaunt wolf leaped through the opening. The otherq tore 4t eoh other in their fury to pass. With out was a dark howling mass. "To the loft I To the loft I" shrieked Peter,. retreating, still firing, towards the ladder. But Greta, gone mad with terror, as he thought, rushed past the wolf, seizing a box, in which she kept her wax dolli her Sunday ribbons, all her moat sacred treasures. It was a heavy box, but*she lifted it and carried it to the ladder. The woif sprang at the boy, but Peter 4ad the strength, of two rien that night. He dealt him a stun ning blowon the skull with the butt end of his gun, and had reached the ladder befoi-e he re covered. By the time the children gained the loft, the kitchen was filled with a furious, snarling pack.. "If I could cut away the lad der!I If I had a hatchet or a knife !" cried Peter. "There is no way to. keep them down I" He stood in the trap-door, dealing blow after blow with his gun.. They had,. left the powdere and shot below. The boy's strength was going; the open-moiutbed beasts were endeavoring, by means of the ladder, to leap into the loft. He looked at Greta, who was kneeling before her box, taking out her gilt-clasped Bible. No. wonder the child had gone mad. She .sprang to her feet at last. Peter, seeing what she held in her hand ,gave a wild yell. The fireworks--the precious crackers, and candles, and torpe does, which their father had boughtlfrom the pedler, to fire off on Christmas day - "A raatch ! Ach, tr.ein Gott, if webave no match!I" *But there was one in the depths of Peter's pocket, and the next minute a small red mass was lowered into the midst of the pack. They stopped to sniff at it. Then. was an explosion. The big torpedoes went off like cannon. Thbe crackers hissed and sputtered. A dazzling glare of red and blue lights filled the room. Pop I Bang ! Bang!I Yelps of terror from the wolves, shrieks of triumph from Peter. Jn less than a min ute, the burned and frightened pack had cleared the window and halted in the yard. Peter ran down the ladder, flung another box of blazing crackers* among them, and followed it up by more bullets. The children at last found means to barricade the windows and did not, dare to open it until the sgn was up. Their father and mother re turned soon after dawn. Maria, finding the road blocked by the fallen trees, had been forced to go back to Suppice's. Jan and she had walked home across the hills in thme night, full of anxious fore bodings about the children. Peter Jansen is now a middle aged man, who went through all the battles in Virginia; but he is* never tired of telling of the night when be .and Greta fought the eil spirits with fire-crackers. FOR THE HERALD. BROADBRIM'S -PARIS LET TER. NO. 23. The United States Department. In my last letter I spoke of the daring of American manufacturers, and this clear grit and pluck is con fined to no particular branch. A turbaned Turk, or an Israelite with a fez, which makes him look like a second-rate Turk, drives a thriving business selling .olive wood orna mehts from Jerusalem.; his success excites the capidity of the Yankee, who forthwith gets rip a compound a great deal better than the original olive wood. He invents a machine for the- manufacture of the goods, and the native of New Jerusalem is either forced to copmit stiici4e in elf-defence or 'iek other and greener pastures. One would have supposed. that Brother Jonathah would have let Jean ; Crapaud alone on the article of* perftmes, but lere is a gentleman not from New York, not from BoS ton, not from Chicago or Sai Francisco, but from Toledo,-0hio, who, exhibits a case of perfumes which would do n. diacredit to Parip cw Cologne. Not only are the -peilumes -fine, but the style of putting them up is equal to any in the Expositionm and this fact has called forth a. commendation not accorded in many cases to much more important articles; well done, Toledo, well done, Lorenta. .: a modest case, on one of the side aisles, is a beautiful display of sleighbells by the Beacon Man ufacturing Co., of East Hampton, Conn. The sweet sleigh bel, the merry, sleigh bells, the sight of them recalling the happy crowds and the jolly rides, away in the long, long ago ! Who ever felt the frost, who knew it was cold, as yo7u dashed along through the flying snow to the music of those merry sleigh bells ! I saw one of our sol dier boys looking mournfully into the case; perhaps he, too, was thinking of the jolly rides, and the girl he left behind him. An admirable exhibit is that of the Northfield Knife Co., of North field, Connecticut. Connecticut has long been celebrated for its cutlery, and I very much regret that many more of its manufacturers have not taken the trouble to exhibit, but the Northfield Knife Company has saved the reputation of the nutmeg State in the cutlery exhibit, and convinced our cousins on this side of the water that a Yankee can make a knife with which to do his whittling. The Remingtons are here with a splendid display of rifles and pistols, fully sustaining the fame of that great concern. The Remington rifdes are known almost wherever shooting is known ; they have that~light airy-innocent look about them as though they were only made for ornamental parades, but oh, what wicked shooters ! "Give me one of them 'e're,'" said a tall slabsided fellow besideme, and "I'll bet you two and a half that I pick off a grass opper's head every pop at a hun dred yards." It is very possible that the gentleman from Maine may have drawn a long bow on his marksmanship, and yet these Rem ingtons look as though they could do almost anything in the shooting line. I don't exactly know how but a rumor got afloat that the Wal tham Watch Co., were not going to get a gold medal. This is not true ; they have one of the finest exhibits, not only in. the American Depart ment, but also in the Exposition Universal, and one which has comn manded as much attention as any other in any departm.ent. In ad dition to the excellence of the ex hibition of watches, the exhibit it self has been most carefully at tended, and I do not believe that there has been a inoment during the hours of public exhibition, since the opening on the first of May, that the Walthan Watch Co., have not been represented by their polite and gentlemanly attendant. As an evidence of the excellence of the a gosehibited by this firm. I have been informed that every ar ticle they have on exhibition is sold, and an immense number of orders have come to them, notwithstand ing than Geneva has made a finer. slowing that she has ever made before at any national exposition. I, therefore, am happy to state that they have received the gold medal which is honestly their due,forif any exhibit is entitled to a gold medal it is the exhibit of the Waltham Watch Co. Those who rememaber the first Exposition of 1851 cannot well for get the display -of"American car riages, then seen foi the first time on the. other sisie of the water. From that' time' i the present a revalution hal, been going on' wiiich has' completeT glWidd earriage ar chitecture. The carriag-in which Louis le Grand rode to. his dorona tion weighed six tons and a half, and the harnesses for the horses, including the collars," weighed nearly two huidred pounds each. The 'State carriage'of His Majesty, the late King of Hanover, is nearly as havy, and' he Lod Miayor's coach hu for ages been con sidered one of the moit outrageous modeN of clifnsy dignity. In a very cons!icuous position in thie Amei-ican Deyam~ent is the 'eShibit 'of Brewtei& Co., 6f New York, a.d it is no disparagement to ny other manufaetur6r fn the United Stf to say that thii is one of:the ldest and best firms in America. Thebhibil, in one sense, is not a lafge oie, and would give a person unacquainted with the high character of this concern a very m perfect idea of their "bipAbilities. The'light Brewster wagon hailong been a standard all over'the Union, and of this class of car'riage the exhibit is limited. A story is told of an American gentleman who, during the reign of the late Napo leon, brought to Paris a light Bre r-ster sulky and started out one pleasant 'afteinoon for a drive on the Bois de Boulogne; he'had not proceeded ve1fj far, hoiwever, before he was arrested by the gendarmes, for they thought he was trying to commit suicide in a novel and 'out rageous manner, and at any rata they were not going to see him en danger his life' in a public place. While the dispute was going on the Emperor drove up and desired to' know the cause of the disturb. 'ance, and finding that it was about an American' carriage he got out!of his owni conveyance, and against the earnest remnonstrance of the whole crowd jumped in to take a ride. The result was so satisfac tory that he ordered several for his own use, and from that day to the present they have beenas popular in Paris as they are in New York. The display, though small, only thirteen in 'all, is very handsome. One of the mo~st 'elegant carriages in the collection is an English drag. In the diffe rent departments there are a number of very elegant carriages of this class. The English and French have some that are really magnificent and it must be a matter of profound satisfaction to the representative of* Brewster & Co., to hear the lavish praises-which are~ daily bestowed on their beautiful drag. A gold medal rewards Brew ster &.Co., and it is-well and worth ily bestowed. Much of the credit. of their success in -Paris being due to their gentlemanly representative, Mr. A. E. Buck, who will be well remembered for his aetive partici pation in .the great Exhibition at Vienna in 1874. The exhibition is crowded daily,. the entries reaching an average of ninety thousand. Immense nunm-. bers of working people are coming here fi-omall parts of Franlce ;eheap excursiona are: being organized for their benefit from every part of the Republic. Another crazy Frenchman has jumped from the top of the Arcede Triomphe and there are still a few more of the same sort left. Truly yours, BROADBRIM. What we do for ourselves must perish with us ; what we do for others .may-outlive us ; what we do for 'God shall remain forever.. A man must be mightier than the diffeicuties cnfonting him.
