All the fluttering wishes Caged within thy beert Beat their winga against it. ' LonRinc to depart, Till thev shake their prison With IbPir wounded cry: Opem then, thy heart to-day, An? let the captives ny. Let them first fly upward Through the starry air, Till you almost loso them, For their homo is there. Then with outspread pinions. Circling round and round, Wing their way wherever, Want and woe are found. Where tho weary stitcher ToilB for daily bread: Where tho lonely watcher Watches by"tho dead; Where with thin weak fingers, Toiling in the loom, Stand the little children, Blighted ere they bloom. Where by darkness blinded. Groping for tho light, With distorted conscience Men do wrong for right; Where in the cold shadow. Br smooth pleasure thrown, Human hearts by hundreds Harden into stone. Where on dusty highways, With faint .heart and slow, Cursing the glad sunlight. Hungry outcasts go; Where all mirth is sileneed, And tho earth is chill, For one place is empty, And one voice is still. Some hearts will be lighter While your captives roam, For their tender singing, Then recall them nome; When tho sunny hours Into night depart, 8oftIy they will nestle In a quiet heart. THE ICEBERG* [COKTINCED. ~\ "I don't "know any more till I came to, as the women call it. "I was in a bunk of a small bark, I could tell that by the short pitch she made. Long ships always pitch slower. I heard somebody say, 'He's all right, doctor.' "So I was in a littlo while-sat up and asked for food. Lord bless you, sir, how good it was; I never tasted anything half as sweet as that beef tea the doctor gave me. Nice!-I can't tell how nice it was. You see I'd been getting up an appetite for it. Whether I should like to go to the same school again to learn how nice beef-tea could be, I don't know rather think not. "In a few days I was well-rather thin and pale, I think, to what I am now-and then I asked them how they found me. "'Mate'U tell you,' says the cap? tain, 'give you his log, you can copy it if you like. ' "I did, and here it is, a fair copy it looks nice, yon see, by the side of these others, cause they were written when the paper was soaked with water and my fingers were numbed with cold, and written with pencil, too. This I wrote in the captain's cabin with a pen. I kept it in the same book, though the paper was bad, so as to have it altogether. "I took the book, and with Mr. Stevens' permission, copied the log again: "BAKQUE ESMERALDA, June 21st. Wind S. W. S.-rather heavy; got sun long. 42 deg. 10 min. lat. 44 dog. 15 min. "Wind steady-twelve o'clock -sighted a sail three points starboard bow-couldn't see name-carpenter finished new spanker-boom-opened hatches, took up three casks beef and one bottle porter. About two o'clock sighted an iceberg right ahead-pas? senger wanted to see it nearer-"-cap? tain ordered to steer accordingly. About four could make out shape. Mr. Burton said he could see two black and white birds on it with the glass-was quite sure; half-past four saw that they were a man and a boy -lowered quarter-boat starboard and went to fetch them off; they lay on a shelf about six feet out of "the water -some difficulty to get at them sent up three men and lowered them into the boat. They seemed dead went round and found another man lowered him into the boat-took off three seal-skulls with black wicks in them; been used as lamps; clothing, and also three guns. Brought all aboard. Doctor said one man the one found alone-was quite dead; tho others not dead. Had I baths in tbe captain's cabin. Boy ! came to and said, 'A sail! A sail!' and kept on saying it; the man seemed nearly dead. After four hours-about half-past eight-he came to, and said, 'Where's the boy?' Told him he was all right-took in stun-sails-wind shifted two points iceberg hull down at ten-lost sight of it at twelve. "June 22d.-Wind S. S. W. Heavy rain-man ">etter-boy still keeps saying, 'A sail! A sail!' Doctor says he's quite mad-man not allow ed to talk-buried the dead man marks on clothing, 'J. Sands;' cloth- ? ing good, but much worn and sodden. I " 'Esther' marked on the arm in blue points with red capitals. Two flags and a half moon under, with a part of a head on it-may be the pic? ture of half a coin of some kind-no other marks on the body. Doctor read prayers. "Wind shifted and blew rather heavy from S. W. Took in the main-1 royal. "June 23d.-Man better-boy still muttering when not being fed-can't eat yet-man got up at four o'clock and came on deck-said his name was Stevens-that they got on the berg in May from the Belle of Aber? deen. Out twenty-nine day? when he went off. We found him next ! day, tho thirtieth out, we expect. ! Doctor says another day would have killed them both. The man, Sands, died the twenty-fourth day ont, at night. 44 4There. that's the log,' said Ben, 4and now I can tell you the rest, for I was well on the fourth day; though not strong-could walk about the deck. The doctor gave me some j ointment for my throat and waist, i and I was all right in about a week. I "The boy, too, got better and left j off muttering. Doctor read to him, j made him work about the ship, and ! tried all sorts of ways to make him think of something else. 4 'In another fortnight I said good? bye to the Esmeralda's people and started for the North in a steamer, taking the boy with mc. "We saw the owner, and found that the captain of the Belle of Aber? deen had written home, and that they'd given us up for lost. Sleepy Sam reached the ship thc day after he left us. "The owner was so pleased with me that he gave me five hundred pounds for taking care of his son. I said I'd only doue my duty; but he would have me take it, so at last I did. 44 'And,' says he, 'Ben, my boy,' (they always call us boys.) 'Ben, my boy,' says he, 'if ever you want a friend, you know where to come for one. I should have been a broken? hearted man, Ben, if it hadn't been for you taking care of him. God bless you, Ben. But you must come and see his mother before you go. ' "Well, J went up to the house, and saw a jne, handsomely dressed old lady. You see they weren't likeh to have any more, and that made them all the fonder of the boy. " 'Mr. Stevens, my dear,' says hi to her. "Yoii'd hardly think it, but it's as true as I stand here-the old ladj went down on her knees to me and kissed my hand, and cried fit t< break her heart. 44 'God bless you, Mr. Stevena, says she, 'God bless you, for yoiu kindness to my poor boy. Bil ne\ ei forget you. You <aust take this tc think of me sometimes. I sha! always pray for you. ' "It was a ring. That's it," saic Ben, showing me a Bolid-looking golt ring, with a large diamond in it. 4 4Well, I wok it, for I was getting quite uncomfortable at her taking oi so ; but, Lord bless you, it seemed tc do her good to have her cry out; anc the owner, he looked on and wipec his eyes now and then. Last of all I was obliged to say I'd only don* my duty by the boy. But sin wouldn't listen, but kept saying, 4GO? bless you}' and crying over my hand and 1 jen she seemed to go off faint so I got away theu. Of course, a soon as I could, I came home. 4'I found mother all right. 4How' Esther?' says I, as jauntily as if '. didn't care a button about her Mother looked pretty hard at me. " 4Oh, she's well enough.' " 'Fitzjames come back?' says I. 44 No, he'll never come back villain!' says mother. She was al rays down on him when she had chance. Of course I knew he'd neve come back better than she did. "I went to see Esther next daj She shook hands and kissed me, sai I looked ill, then says, 'Have yo got anything to tell me?' I don know how it was she asked this-soi of what you call presentiment, c instinct, same as dogs have. Lore sir, a woman or a dog can always te what you mean before you speak-i things about the feelings. Som children, too, have this kind of thin very strong. Perhaps, after all, looked as if I knew something. 44 4Have you seen him?'-'him you know, as if there wasn't jth< hims-and asking me, too, just as I cared as much about it as she di< but Lord, sir, they don't think an; body's a right to think of anyboc but their 4him. ' "Yes,' says I, Tve seen .hin Esther. ' 44 4Where is he? Take me to hin She looked at me a minute. 'N Ben,'says she, 'he's dead! I kno he is! I see he is! Oh, my Go My own Fitzjames is dead!' And si gripped my hand so hard, and sar back in the chair and shut her eye "After a little she says, 'Ben, t< me all about it. Poor fellow! dear "I told her as much as I co i about it; and then I told her abo the sixpence. "Give it me,' she said, 'give it ni Ben. It's the last thing I gave hi before-give it me.' "I gave it her, and she kissed quite solemn like, just as tho' it h been his dead forehead. 4'Then I told her what he sf about his not meaning to leave bei " 'Did ho say that?' 44 4He did, Esther-he swore it; a I believe it.' 4'She looked hard at mo for a litt and then said: 44 'Thank you, Bun, for that; I so glad yon believe it. I knew didn't mean to leave me; and ? got up and called her father, a says, 'Father, he didn't mean leave me. Ask Ben, there. He s so with his dying breath; ho sw it, Ben, didn't he? Tell father, c "I told the old man. " 'Ah,' says he, 'poor fellow! De too! He's rightly punished.' '",BuV says she, 'he told Ben didn t mean to wrong me, he d and she seemed as if ahe was qi glad._ 'I know he never did.' 1 ""JUon't ?ee,! ?aid the father, makes mnch difference whether he did or not. He did it, and you Ve lost your good name-and ours, too, for that matter, Esther.'
