Of lowliest degree ;

What mattered it to nte T

I know that uko was good

Of pqrftiOt womanhood.
A farmer's daughter only,
Unlearned in fashion's lore ;
Contented with her lot in life,
Sho sighed for nothing more.
Her voice WHS like au angel's,
So fresh, so rich, so youug,
Tho lark paused in its upward flight,
To listen ns she sung.

A LEGEND OF THE ZUYDKU'ZKE.
Among tho oommeroiul sea-towns of Hol
land, six centuries ago, Stavorcn held tho
first place. Thc ships of its merchants cov
ered tho seas, and imported thc productions
of ull sones. Such on extensive commerce
r used tho wealth of this town to a hitherto
unkown oxtont. It is truo that there were
hore, ?.s olsowhero, many poor, but tho wealthy
vastly outnumbered them.1 High lifo, luxury
and magnificence, tho usual companions of
great riches, prevailed, for in foolish prido
and ruinous zeal each citizen tried to outvie
the other in pomp, splendor and extravagant
banquets. Tradition relates that thcro were
tnany houses which equalled palaces in their
grandeur. They were constructed of marble,
tho interior ornamented with the most artistic
decorations, covered with tho richest tapes
tries, provided with thc rarest furniture, thc
doors bound with tho most precious metals
instead of iron.
But of all tho Stavorcn merchants none
could compare in riches with tho virgin Bich
berta. The success with which each of her
sp?culations was reworded, and not seldom
with unexpected profits, seemed to show to
hor whit degree fortune could lavish ber gifts
on a mortal, and how long allow her favors to
be enjoyed.
Tho commercial fioot of tho virgin mer
chat visited tho remotest seas, and not only
returned each time with tho richest profits,
but loaded with tho most expensive wares,
with ornaments of diamonds, pearls and pre
cious stones, which wore employed in the
palace of their mistress and shone on its
wulls.
Such unexampled good fortuuc Richbcrta
could not support with indifference, and if
the maxim that " great . misfortunes arc
easier to bo borne thew immodcruto happi
ness," bo true, Richbcrta was destined to
bo a glaring proof of tho truth of this os
sertion.
Her prido and vainglory kept step with
tho incrou.se of her riches, and she showed
this both by contempt for her fellow crcnturcs
and by preparing the most luxuriant and
extravagant feasts, less with tho iutcntiou
of amusing and ut..doning thc town, than to
give h?rguests tho opportunity to admiro thc
Cvcr chan-?i.: .>; splendor of her apartments
and bo ?sl?ntshod at tho foroigu and costly
fiod and wine, und thus excite their envy.
At one of these senseless repasts, offering
nothing to the mind and leaving the heart
void, n strange guest was announced. Ho
oatno, ho said, from foreign countries, had
seen many royal kiogdoms and tho splendor
of their courts, and hud como to admire Rich
berta's riches, which fume reported to bc mi
raculous.
The flattered mistress begged tho stranger,
to tako a scat at her sido. Ile appeared to
bc still a robust old mun, in tho picturesque
o istumc of the Orient. Bis conduct was both
dignified nod noble us ho stopped to Richbcr
ti, expecting tho welcome from her hand,
which, according to tho usage of bis country,
is given symbolically by tho offering of bread
and salt.
But there wos no bread on her luxurious
table, which groaned under its burden of
rare, epicurean dishes, and from which thc
pimplo nourishment of poverty was ban
ished.
Silently tho stranger seated himself, and
.white taking refreshment related, in a manner
which bound all eyes and cars npon him, of
his travels by lund und water, o? foreign na
tions and their euston's.
Every guest was entranced with his words;
but not so with tho virgin Richbcrta. lier
vanity could expect nothing else than that
the stranger should be loud in tho praises of
her riches, tho brilliancy of her feast, aud
would make comparisons giving fresh nour
ishment to her pride. To these subjects,
however, ho made no illusion; till, finally,
driven to desperation, she demanded it of him
herself, when ho confessed that only with
kings had ho found Bitch splendor and extra
vagance; and wdiat made it moro singular
to him was that ho should miss hero tho
best and noblest thing that tho earth pro
duood.
lu yoin did she attempt to obtain a fuller
explanation of the strange guest, and being
questioned too pressingly, ho disappeared, and
J was not seen again.
Riohberta's pride and curiosity, equally
excited, allowed ber no quietude She
possessed io valuables all that could bo men
tioned ; however, ?the boat and noblest
thing" waa wanting. She consulted soho]
**.*?ibu* philosophers, sent for magicians
?nd astrologers, but nono knew how to name
.ifc?Uhing which for years ?ho hod not pos
?f-'fesL'cstlees-dealro ibo had ships equipped
^tO.or^Ue.thrpugh all oceans and seas, to visit
/ \^t??)i'ft^/w?th'orders not to roturo till tho
required article hud boen foundt Tho oom*
. jwunder,of.hcr fleet put to sc* undecided
wither to direct his ships. Ooo part ho sent
to tho Kant, another to tl-o West, while ho
himself witli his remaining vessels, relied on
thc lover of tho winds. It happened that,
by a leak, a part of tho provisions became
?poilod, and although there was no want of
meat, wine, and other luxuries, the dour aud
bread had become unfit for food, and thc
want of it was soon felt most severely.
In this strait, tho commander saw quickly
whut ho must consider tho best things the
caTth produced-not tho species and perfu.ncs
of India, nor the pearl.- from tho depths of
tho sen, nor diamonds of most priceless value;
but that universally tlniving gift of nature,
the indisponible ?nd inestimable nourishing
bread. Ho recognized now thc senso of tho
obscure words spoken by tho stranger, nod
his resolutions wero quickly made Ho
steered to a Baltic harbor, where ho took iu
i lull cargo of tho finest wheat, with which
ho sailed to Stavoren. As soon as he arrived
ho appeared boforo Richbcrtn, who had not
oxpected him so quickly, and announced to
h ;r that he now know what was thc best of
all tho earth's productions; had found it, and
in abundance; had brought it with him. Ho
then related to his astonished mistress how
ho had obtained his knowledge, and that the
mysterious guest could only have meant
the failing bread. Ile, thcrcforo, behoved
he had executed her order in a satisfactory
manner.
Rut Richbcrta was not of the same opin
ion. She cast reproachful looks at the con
founded servant, and, painfully suppressing
her rogo, demanded to know on which side ot
the ships ho had taken in thc cargo. shc
was answered, On the right side." "Well,
then," said tho haughty Richbcrta, "1 com
mand you to throw tho whole cargo into the
sea ou tho"left "
In vain were appeals and expostulations
made against thc carrying out of this order?
uselessly did the faithful servant beg of ber
not to destroy tho rich gift of God, but ut
least to alleviate the wants of thc needy poor
with it; uselessly did he scud to her crowds
of poverty stricken wretches' to soften her
heart. All was in vain. Before her own
eyes she had tho rich wheat cargo, which
could have given bread to so many, thrown
inlo thc sea, nm id? the howlit); and cursings
of the mullidudo. Thc bottom of thc sea had
received the cargo, but tho grains became thc
seedling of ruin. Germinating in thc mud,
continually covered with new earth, there
shot up a forost of Stalks,} without ears, ol
unnatural growth, always springing high Ol
and higher, which, Uko sea fungus or huge
spiders, covered the surface of thc water. Af
thc soft, movable mass of earth thereby found
a support, an immense sand bank was formed
before the harbor of Stavoren, which ur
human power was aldo to break through -
Tho numerous ships of the town, and also
those of the rioh R chberta, being unable
to find an entrance into tho port were sacri
fices of the raging waves. Com morco and
riches were destroyed, und continually recur
ring strokes of misfortune precipitated thc
proud virgin merchant from the piunoh
of splendor and happiness into want an?,
tu ia cry
Rut thc sea, to whom an accustomed chan
no) had been closed, raged with even new an
g jr against the bank, duringa tcmpcstUOU
storm it broke through the dykes, Hooded th>
town nod bore it hastily into tho sea as a long
wished for booty.
Where Stavoren once stood now rolls th
troubled waves of tho Ziiydorzoc. Rut whci
the clear waters aljows ibo bottom lo bo scei
the shippers view with horror, through it
depths, the streets, proud towers, and higl
gables of the palaces of this now sunken bu
once magnificent town.

"On tho morning of Docoiitber 9, obout
11:40 o'clock," says a telegram to thc London
Standard, "ono of tho most terrible catastro
phes that lias ever visited Birmingham, took
placo ut tho ammunition factory belonging to
?Messrs. Ludlow, at Wittondanc, Witton
Tho socne of tho accident is a large hold about
n mile from thc Aston Lower (Jrounds, and
in tho direction of Perry Barr, lloro aro
situated nineteen sheds, in which tho work
of making and priming Enfield cartridges is
oirricd on, some 500 hands being employed.
At tho time stated, tho inhabitants of thc
neighborhood and persons at a distance even
of two miles were alarmed by a series of ex
plosions, accompanied by shocks us of au
earthquake and severe concussions of thc at
mosphere. On rcaohing thc locality of tho
explosion a scene of destruction was revealed
of tho most uppalliug character. Three
shods, in which ibero had been working five
minutes before about 100 girls, boys and men,
were a mass of ruins, und in tho smoking,
blackened heap thcro was scarcely a sign
of lifo. Heady hands wero soon at work, und
tho awful extent of loss to human lifo then
became apparent. A few hu I escaped from
tho burning titans, and were limping off, while
thc helpless, who gave any signs of life, were
quickly conveyed in carts and cabs, which
had come to tho spot on thc uluru) being
given.
No fewer than fifty shockingly burned and
mutilated but living human forms were ear
ried off with nil speed to thc general hospital
tho condition of many being pitiable in tin
extreme Some of those taken thither wer<
so badly burnt as to be hardly recognizable
Bleeding and insensible, they were quick h
put under thc medical care of the stall'of tin
hospital, but it was too evident many a suffer
er entered only to prolong a lingering exis
tence, till death added new victims to th
Lst. The scone among tho wrecked remain
of thc sheds was of tho most sickening def
oriptiou, Thc field was strewn with th
mutilated remains of human bodies and piece
of clothing covered with blood. In one she
lay the ch irred bodies of seven, and in nnotl
cr those of five workers, while at tho Witto
Arms lay other live, all disfigured beyom
recognition. I nch body lay smouldering an
smoking on tl shutter, covered by a turpaulii
and beneath this was nothing but a ma:
of rags and charred flesh and bones. 1
some cases, there was only a charred skelotoi
and in others tho head, arms and legs wei
missing. A human hoad, supposed to I

Th? IIowcn-UolAiige Contest.
Tho controversy between C. C. Bowen and
lt. C. OoLargo, involving th? right to a seat
in tho Forty second Congres ?, begins to tuko
shupo. Tho following, in brief, aro tho prin
cipal grounds of con tost urged by Mr. Bowen:
First, that De Largo was engaged as a blook
adorunnor in.1804 and part o? 1805, thereby
giving aid, counsel and encouragement to
poisons in armed hostility to tho United
States; second, that during tho time nbovo
nairn d, Bc Largo, W '?Ho at Nassau, took out
British protection papers, in which ho mudo
oath that ho was a British subject, and sub
scribed to an oath ol' allegiance to tho British
Crown, thus enabling him to claim protection
frort, tho Bri ish ilag in tho event of capture;
third, that if a citizen of tho United Stiles
ho is laboring under political disabilities for
tho reasons above mined, and therefore, can
not tako tho oath of July 21, JS'32; and
fourth, that being a British subject, ho is
disqualified under tho constitution from hold,
iug tho o (lice aforesaid.
In unswer to tho above notice of contest.
DoLargo specifically denies thc charges mude.
lie st.'.'ea that he was simply a hired ?or VU nt
on board of a blockade run nor, by which me
nial service he escaped from forced labor on
the defences of Charleston ; that he did not
yield a voluntary support to thc Confederate
Government, and, furthermore, that if bo had
dono so, being of tho negro race, tho United
States vested in him none of thc rights of an
American citizen. Ile also denies that ho
took an oath of allegiance to tho British
crown, but did hold British protection papers,
purchased to protect him from seizures as a
slave. In regard to his political disabilities.
DeLirgo avers that under tho Fourteenth
amendment, ratified in 1808, he can talco tho
oath of July. 1802, that he has not volunta
rily given aid, comfort, &c, since ho was
made a citizen. Furthermore, that as a na
tive born resident of South Carolina, his orig
inal right of citizenship would have reverted
to him the instant he returned to tho State,
oven though ho might have taken an oath of
allegiance to Grout Britain,and that in 1804,
thc American Government had not acknowl
edged the right ol a citizen to expatiate him
self. Finally, that by tho fifteenth amend
ment his citizenship became fixed and estab
lished by law.
