A Hero's Daughter. Sfaobo?et8 no Amazonian charma, Minerva's helmet never bound her; And tho' she finds delighfc?n arms, 'Tis when her father's are around her. She docs not aim to make a mark, LLkoPhillippa- as Froissart wrought her; She is no modorn Joan D'Arc, Liko Garibaldi's wife aud daughter. And while there meets in lier young veins Ancestral blood-tho patriot's-sage's Whose fame rung out in trumpet strains, Goes gathering glory down tho ages. She is not proud, nor cold, nor grand, No haughtiness her tone evinces; Her heart is open as ber band Hor hand is liberal as a princo's. She docs not awe you with her eye. And yet its glance goes straightway through, von, A latent fire to warn you by A stoady, stellar light to woo you. Her smile is Uko the golden day's, Irradiating every feature: Yon catch its influence, as you gaze. And own -"She is a gracious creature." So genial her responsive mind; With every varying mood agreeing- - You wonder bow she conies to find The v;ery key-note of your being. Beneath her sparkling surface, flow Tho breezy freshness, and the laughter Wells deep and strong, and undertow Of rare and racy wisdom, after. Sweet fire-side graces, all aro ber's; The chatelaine beside tho bodice, Is but one token, that avers She is a very household goddess! Accepting, with unmurmuring lips, War's stern decree-its griefs, its losses; And nobler thro' that blood eclipse, And stronger for its burdening crosses. She folds no bands in languid pause Child of her father-true to duty, Sho weeps at heart thc dear "lost cause," Yet fills tl?o busy hours with beauty. Her heroism holds in view Our people's strife for life -tho lesser, Yet bitter one!-there's work to do, And well she docs it; so-God bless her. [The Latid We Love. SNOWED UP. CONCLUDED. Banks coming in -with the urn, they placed themselves at table, and the breakfast began. Suddenly Mr. Butler spoke-"Caroline!" he said, hastily and angrily. "Yes, uncle dear!" and tho bright face turned like a sunbeam to him. "How often have I said I would not have the food sent to our table touched in tho kitchen?" "Well, it is not, uncle," said Carry a little anxiously; "what has been touched?" "My pigeon pie," said her uncle furiously, and he struck the handle of his knife upou tho table. "Look herc-what do call this-, eh? Is this not been touch? ed? "What -do you mean by this, Caroline?" He dragged tho dish forward. Carry saw to ber dismay the pigeon pie," which was her uncle's peculiar dish-touched by no one but himself-more than half devour? ed. "Ring the bell at once," he cried;" and have up Banks to answer for himself. I'll kuow tho truth of this at once." So Walter rang the bell, aud Banks came to tl ie sum? mons, as he alway did, as quickly as if he had been listening at thc door. "Banks! whatis the meaning of this?" exclaimed Mr. Butler pointing to the dishonored pie. "It's-come now," thought Banks. "Well sir, I can't exactly tell you," he replied, calmly, "the cellaret door was open, and I see a lot of port wine and brandy had been took;'and when cook went into the larder, there were plates and a knife and fork, and this pigeon pio all pulled about ten times worso nor you see it now, and one log of the turkey gone, and bread and other things eat beside. But who did it, sir, I know no more nor the dead, nor does noue of us down stairs; for we've all been a talking of it over, and can't make nothing of it noways."; Smith Butler turned pale and pushed back his chair. ' Do you mean to tell me that we have robbers coucealed in the house?"' ho said. "Snowed up with a legion of burg- ; lars waiting to murder us?"' He be? came violently agitated, and his cough grew convulsive. "I don't' say that, sir," replied Banks, re- | spectfully, "but I do say as how it's a curious thing, and no accounting for . it, as I eau see." "Are any o? us sleep j walkers," saidWalter. "Bless'mysoul, ! Mr. Lechmere, what rubbish you ? do talk, to bo .sure!" Smith Butler cried. "Sleep-walkers do not walk ! into pigeon pies and turkey's legs. \ Such foolish observations do no good, j sir. They only distract one's mind from the main facts. For the prc- ; scuts, as Banks says, I see no way of accounting for it. So Banks, you may go; and here, take this mess down stairs, and never let me see a pigeon-pic er. my table again as long as I live; do you hear?" Banks and his master were right;! there was no accounting for snell an 1 extraordinary phenoincon; so the fact remained as before, unexplained and | inscrutable - thc fact of a midnight! appetite among them, which had satis- ' fied itself on Smith Butler's own peen liar viands-prowling even into his larder, and violating the sanctuary I of his cellaret. So the thing remain- ] ed; but Walter brought a little sere- ! nity to tho host, by offering to' search tho li ouse thoroughly after breakfast, ami make sure no ono was, concealed within ils walls. And then Mr. Bull ar felt glad that to-day was! as bad, if not worso than yesterday, ! and said, quite cordially for him-1 "Wo shall bc obliged to keep you prisoner over our poor Christmas day, I see, Mr. Lechmere; it is impossible j or you to mee such weather as it is." j He thought that if they were locked ] np with a burglar, it was quite as well to have Walter Lechmere's ; strong arm and well-known courage' to help them through; George Grey being a "muff," und he himself but a "poor creature, owing t# his health," Banks "not to be depended on-men? servants never aro"-and Day living out of the house, at the end of tho j garden, with his wife, tho family ! laundress, and his brother, the family gardener. Walter bowed and smiled, and turned rather red, and thanked Carry's uncle warmly; and after breakfast they all wont through the ceremony of "searching the house thoroughly.'* They made quite a formidable party-the three gentlemen aud Bunks; and they look? ed everywhere (save Carry's room, of course,) peering into every closet and every recess; George Grey especially great in looking behind window shutters aud chests of drawers, and other placea leaving a clear space of about a couple of inches or so; but they found nothing -nota trace, not a line of the mid? night consumer of Mr. Butler's pigeon-pie. There was a small kind of dust-hole in the further garret, which they did not euler. The door was locked, and the key had been lost these twenty years. Smith But? ler said; so they passed that by as labor lost indeed, to stir up thc dust of twenty years, though Walter would have got the door open by some means or other h?ul he been allowed to do so; but Mr. Butler, who had become tired by this time, was peevish and cross; and so thev all streamed down stairs again Walter laughing at tho whole affair, and even George Grey putting in his perky little word of scolung courage. ? so fearfully like a bantam's crow. What a strange day it was, thii Christmas day! Here they were, actually "snowed up," and unable tc get a dozen yards from the house. Day, the coachman, had attempter.' to get down the road, but had beer obliged tb turn back ag; in-the waj was utterly impracticable. Then was no help for it; they were al caged and imprisoned as surely as i they had a guard of soldiers or ; grating of iron bars to keep then in; and, enemies dr lovers, sick ot well, sad or joyous, they must mak< the best of it, and pass the time a; pleasantly as they could. SmitL Butler was neither help nor hin (dvanco as things were. He was in tot feeble -and irritable a state of nerve! and health to bear society for manj hours at a time; so he went to kb study soon after breakfast, where ht made believe to read, but where ht did really doze for half the day, ant the three young people were left tc themselves. If only that horribh nuisance, that Georgo Grey, hat" been out of tho way, thought Carr} and Walter, what a time of veritable paradise it would have been! Bur, as all things come to au enc at last, so did this strange Christina; day; and when they were all in bei and asleep-only poor, irritabh peevish Smith Butler sleeping in shor snatches, and waking for hmgdrean watches-a thickset, brutal-looking be grimmed man crept cautiously out o the closet in the garnet, which Waite: Lechmere would have opened bu was prevented, and, with thc aid o a dark lantern, made his way noise lessly down stairs, and again devour ed Smith Butler's viands, and draul his brandy and his wine. And whil he atc ?and drank, in his stealth; wolfish silence and rapacity, h glared round at the valuables in th dining-room, and, handling a piste concealed in his pocket, said in ; hoarse whisper to himself, "Ah! w shall hav*e a rare swag when Hie tim comes!" Then he crept back to hi lair again, and carefully locking th door after bini with a skeleton-ke; that could lock and unlock mos things, pulled over him a pile of rug and a huge wolf skin "borrowed from the hal!, and turning round O? his side, went to sleep without snoi ing. Next morning the scene ofyef terday was in a measure reiicwec" Again had food been eaten and win drunk by some one on tin" premise getting up in the dead ol the nigl: to satisfy his unearthly craving; an still the mystery as to who it wa: and why, remained as dense as eve] Even Waiter was puzzled, and Carr a little uneasy; while the servant were as scared as if there was a rc? live ghost among them, and Georg Grey was unaffectedly frightened c his own"shadow. As for Mr. But le this second mystery completed tl prostration of Iiis nerves. He sal i his study all the day, his head bei on his breast, his nervous ham drumming restlessly rm the table, an his every sense strain dlikethesensi of a man in incipient brain-feve to catch the. faintest sound cr sip of anything extraordinary. But tl house was as still as the tomb, sa' for the occasional bursts of mus wafted from the drawing-room, i the quickened step ot' aservaut-ma scurrying through thc passages as pursued by a spectre. By the afternoon the weath changed; the wind fell, a steady ra came down, ami a quick thaw set i .'iud by the early evening "roa might, bo presumed to be opon," sa Waiter, a little maliciously, gland] at Cany, "and should he relieve ]\] Butler,'then, to-day?" To which t old man replied angrily that he won not suffer him to leave on anyaccou -he absolutely forbade it-he won not hear another word about Whatf leave them in the state which they were, with a vampire, ghoul in the house! a thing shut 1 with them, they knew not what n where-but, whether tangible or i tangible, a mystery and a horror! murderer, perhaps; perhaps a mving maniac; aud Walter (he called him Walter in his agitation) tc- think of leaviug! No! he would not allow it; decidedly ho would not. Aud Walter did not need the prohibition to be repeated. Then, seeing that Mr. Butler was getting really ?ll with fear and nervousness, he offered, if it would be any satisfaction to him, to sit up this coming night, and watch for the intruder quietly-in his own mind, unspoken to any oue, ho sus? pected poor Banks, and made very sure he should catch him-which offer Smith Butler accepted unre 1 servedly, adding a half-surly cota ? pliment on his "pluck," which I sounded moro like a sneer than sP compliment. And so another day passed with the former, in the lovers' almost unalloyed happiness, in George Grey's unalloyed misery, and 1 in Smith Butler's as well, to bear his company. The night came on. Still the same heavy pelting rain, falling;, fulling, like the endless pattering of beads; but there was no wind with it; it was a straight incessant down? pour; the kind of rain which dulls ali I sound, both because of the humidity of the air, and the bard unending patter of thc drops. When they had j all gone up to their respective rooms i Walter v ent quietly down stairs again-takiug a loaded revolver with him, to satisfy Smith Butler, though ho laughed heartily at the precaution. For some time he sat by the dyiuc; embers of the fire, "till the last spark of that too disappeared; and he was in the dead unlighted dark. But al] was still; uot a sound, not a whisper, save the plashing of the remorseless ruin and the loud ticking of thc clocks, Guilystone veas a largo, old fashioned house; apd thc servants' offices were quite distinct from the dwelling part of the family; and as Walter was watching to catch thc thief at thc cellaret, he did not watch for burglars, let noiselessly in at the kitchen door by a barefooted confederate concealed in the house. No one sitting where lu: was now, iii tho dining-room, with the door shut, , could possibly have heard the slight rustle that was made as the three men passed in, then crept up thc kitcheu stairs in their listed shoes, noiselessly, stealthily, one - by one. Suddenly was heard Smith Butler's voice-first one wild piercing shriek, waking the dead echoes of thc night with horrible force; then a rougl voice as ii muttering an oath, ant' thc mulled sound of a man's strug gie. Walter dashed up the stairs the revolver in his hand; and iu les; time than it takes to write stood ii Smith Butler's room, face to face with^ four armed men. Two were ransacking the room-already boxe; were broken opeu, wardrobes, anc safes, and drawers, all rilled, while many valuables were Hung in a heat on the floor; a third held thc poo; old man bj' tho throat; while tin fourth was just slipping across tin pas-age to where Walter's roam doo: stood a little ajar. What followe? was the deadly struggle of men fo: life. Four against oue were heav^ odds; but Walter was brave, witl the bravery of blood and training which always go further than the ba< courage of desperate crime. Hesho down one man levelling a pistol a bis head-it was but the turn of hair whose shot was first; another h stunned with tho life-preserver li wrenched from bis, own hand, bu thc remaining two were pressin bard upon him, and (?ne had airead; wounded him severely with hi knife, when Banks appeared, in th scared way of footmen rudely await cued, and snatching up Walter's rc volver, which had been knocked on of Isis hand by one of the men no1 upon him, tired. It might have bei' in the air; it might have beerf*at Mi Butler, or at Walter, or at himsell for all he knew; he fired blindly, it stinetively, and by chance; but, b good providence, he happened to li one ol' tho two remaining burglar: and brought him to the ground wit a broken leg. And now tho otho seeing that tho game was up, leapc doun the stairs and dashed out int the darkness of the night, leavin Ms three companions wounded an bleeding on the floor. By this tim too, Walter had fainted; and by til time Carry, roused by the shots, lu rushed into tho room, calling in nude's name and Walt? r's, to meet ghastlier sight than sie- had ev dreamed of even; by this tin George Grey bad been pulled on shivering, from under the bed, whe he bud hidden himself, and set such useful work as he could perfori by Banks, who, now that be li: only prostrate foes to deal wit!), ai was master of tho situation, can out grandly; and. by this time, po Smith Butler demanded special cai for he lay as if dead, paralyzed wi terror, and it was long before could be restored. So now there was enough to do the house, and every one? must wo with a will. Of the three men woun ed, not one was vitally hurt; tho t' who had been shot were disabh but no more; while Walt- kui stub, just escaping the heart a grazing the lungs, was of infinite worse complexion. However, thin all wore round in time. The doc! was sent for, and also tho consta!? and between thc two, the in ma and tho disturbers of Gullysto were pretty well cared for. A lin* as soon as it was light the next di George Grey crept crestfallen hon wards. Carry did not care to cone her disdain for that cowardly act his-how cowardly it must ha . seemed to her, rushing into the very midst of danger to bear her part with the rest, ai d share the perils, or shield from them the one she loved, let ber own braver deeds explain. Tlie poor, meek, tortured creature could not bear his shame, but sor? rowfully and miserably retreated to Grey's Court, aud ina few days wrote to Smith Butler a formal renuncia? tion <rf his pretensions to Miss Wins? ton's hand. When Walter Lech m ere made his demand, Smith Butler no longer withheld his consent : acknow? ledging, a little unnecessarily, that perhaps it was better, on the whole, to have a man in the establishment who could fight, if required -one needed such things sometimes. But his consent was given only on consi? deration that Walter lives at Gully stone quietly, and does not attempt to take Caroline away, or to follow bis profession in Spain, or any ot' that nonsense. He was to stay there as the lighting mau and family pro? tector- did he hear? And if he did not like that arrangement, he should make no other. As Waller did like tin- arrangement, the marriage took place in the early spring; and, if the Dunmow flitch was not claimed when justly due, it was not because it ought not to have been. But Smith Butler did not live long nuder the shadow of Walter's protecting man? hood. Tho burglary and the per? sonal violence to which he had been subject were too much for him; and he died before another Christmas day came rouud-repeating, iu tho last feeble wanderings of reason just pre? ceding his death, with tm accent ex? pressive of profoundest horror, "Snowed up with a burglar!" The Great Amman Mood Purifier ! THE QI EYS DELIGHT ! mUE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, thc great .L American Alterative and l".l>>>1 Puri? fier, is tlie most perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective invigorating, rejuvenating * and bloofl clcansing cordial known to the world. In introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to the public, observation leads us to remark that too little attention is paid to thc 'dite of all flesh," thc blood. Many diseases, and. too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state ol' thc blood, are treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if the remedy had been applied to enrich the blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. Thu Queen's Delight ia offered to thc afllictod as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of the blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that the characteristics of thc living organism are ceaseless change ami ceaseless waste'." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor- j ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma- ; liens, Fevers, Ac. Life ami health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure, arterial blood. We therefore advice every ona whose blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence ot exe? ss. and whoso constitution is im? paired by disease and is Butlering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or Lieu's Evil, Carbuncles, H.i?s, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of die Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in thc bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic; Seres, Indigestion, Inflammation of thc Bladder and Kidneys. Pains in the Lae!;, (leneral Debility, and for all complaints arising from deiieiency and poverty of Hood, to usc thc Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ol mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and sure rt medy in the Queen's Delight. Children wiiose fair and ruddy com ph x ion gave early promise of health au I beauty, but too-soon become blanched and pale by s< .nie lo rcditary taint of the blood, will have 'hi- rich hoon restored bv using the Queen's Delight. Thc unacclimated and pi rsons traveling into warm c..untiles will ?iud the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate iu a change of climate, diet and lifo. Tlie extraordinary and unprecedented euri s performed by tho .Queen's Delight Ci .inpound is attracting tho attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad. The merits of this comp..und are being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New York: *'b is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an influence over ?ill thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative, lt is extensively used in all the various forms of primary ami secondary syphilitic affections; also, iu scrofulous, lu pat ic and cutaneous diseases, in winch its use is followed by tho most successful results."' Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the u itico of t'ne profession by 1 )r. Thoa.
