KveMlng. BT JAMES BARBON HOPE. Seo the crimson clouds of cveuin<, Latticc-bars across the bitte Whero the moon in pallid beauty, Like au augel, gaze? through! Ovor all tho wiudiug river, By the fading sunset kist, Slowly rises up tho vapor, lu a cloud of ghostly mist.' Whilo tho eve is slowly turning Ita laet grains of golden saud, What a holy quiet hovers Over al' tho drowsy laudl There is now tho spell of silence - Of a silence calm and deep Over all tho placid water Whore thc blue mist seems aslee p. And the vessel slowly gliding Down tho river to tho bay, Show on shoets of spreading canvas Tints which chaugo from red to grey. AU is quiet, savo the murmur Of tho tide upon tho bar; Seo each little hreakor playing With tho imago of a star! And 'tis thus that human creatures, Bowed with ago or fresh in youth, Give hack brokenly tho image Of euch graud, colest?ul truth. Now tho brooding silenco deepens, And tho sceno vt one of rest, While the wreok'd day drifts down grandly To bc stranded in tho West? on yon rugged coast or cloud- laud High ahovo the village spire, On its mighty purple head-lands, And its crags all tipped with Aro. THE Mt$Etr$ HEW* "I tell you no, Agnes! I won't have it. Tho fellow only wants my money. I know ali theso dandified jim-cracks. . They hang around a fow bags of dollars as crows around car? riol1. I won't havo any such thiog. Nov, do you know?" "Father, you judgo Walter too harshly. He is a good mau-honest and .ndustrious-and-" "Industrious, say you? By tho big lump, I'd liko to know what he's got to show for his industry." "He has a very superior education, father." "Education? Fiddlesticks! Can he live on his education? Cnn ho make dollars of it?" "Yes, he can live on it. He has already obtained a good situation as dork." . "And will earn just enough to keep him in tho fino clothes he wears. I know theso fellows. But there's a*: end on it. If you choose him rather than your poor father, you eau do so. I can live alone-I shau't live loug; you eau-" "Stop, stop, father! You have uo right to talk so. You know I could not leave you." And Agnes Bromnn threw her arms around tho old man's neck and kissed him; then she left the room. "It's curious how these young fools act," the miser muttered to himself, after he had watched his child do part. "Thero';, been twenty of the sharks after that girl-twenty of 'em hovering around her, like man eat? ers after a dead body. Don't I know what they want? Aha! dou't I, though? ICa my money! But Agnes has never loved any of them till this Adams came along. The jackanapes!. And now she wants to get married i right away. Nonsense!" The old man bowed his head as he Spoke, and ho saw a drop upon the back of his hand. It was a bright drop, and tho rays of tho sun were playing in it. "She cried wheu she kissed me," ho whispered, wiping the tears from his hand; "I don't see what makes her so tender hearted-she never took it from mo. But she may have taken it from-" Tho old man stopped, and a cloud cloud came over his wrinkled brow, for there was a pang iu his heart. He remembered the gentle, uncom? plaining beiug who had ouce been his companion, the motlier of his child. Ho remembered how sho be? came his wife, even when the bloom of manhood had passed from him, and cared for him, and how she taught her child to love and care for j him, too; and ho remembered how ; she had never complainod, oven while suffering, and how she had died with a smile and a blessing upon her lips, though tho gold of her husband brought hor no comforts. Noah Bremen bowed his frosted head more low, and in his heart he wished ho could forget all but the few , fleeting joys of his wife. But ho \ could not forget. He could not for- ' got that it had been whispered how ? his wifo might have lived longer, had she had proper clothing ami medical attention. "But it would have cost so much; I saved money!" Ah, thc reflection would uot remove ; the pang. Thc other memory was ' uppermost. Noah Bremen had passed the allot? ted age of men, being over three? score and ten, and all his life had bren devoted to tho accumulation of mo? ney. He had denied himself every comfort,'and his heart had buen al? most as hard as tho gold ho hoarded. But as his hair grew more white and sparse, and tho years grow more hea? vily upon bim, he thought more-re tlected more. The sweet smile of bis wifo was cloiug its mission now; and tho pure love of his gentle child was a continual remembrance to him that there were bi tter hearts than his own. At length, tho miser arose and Enssed out of the room. Ho would ave loft the hut, but as ho reached the little entry way, ho heard a voice from the garrot. It was his child's. He crept up the rickety stairs, nxxA looked through, a crack in the door. Ho saw Agnes upou her knees. Tears were rolling down her, cheeks, and her hands were clasped tx^rards Hea? ven, and prayed: '.Oh, God! bo good to UT father, and make his heart warm and peace? ful. Moko mo to love him with all tenderness, and enable me to do well and truly tho duty I pledged to my sainted mother! I promised I would love and caro for him always. Father in Heaven, help me! Oh! help me!" The old mau crept down stairs aud out of doors, aud, for a wholo hour, he walked alone among the trees. He thought again of his wile-agaiu of his chili-and then of his gold! And this ?."s not the first timo he hud walked alone there. Ho did uot him? self know how great was tho influ? ence his child was exerting over him. Agues, pure, good und beautiful Agnes, wept long and bitterly in bel little garret, and, wheu she had be? come calm, and her checks were dry, she carno down and got supper. But she was not the smiling happy being that had flitted about thc scanty board heretofore. A fow days after this, us Noah Bre? men approached his cot, one morn? ing, ho hoard voices from within. He peeped through a rent in the coarse paper curtain, and saw Walter Adams with his child. Her head was upon Walter's shoulder, aud his arm was about her. Walter was au orphan, and had been Agnes' schoolmate, and her fer? vent lover through all the virtuous man, aud loved the gentle girl be? cause she was so good and gentle, and so beautiful. Aud she loved him, not only becauso ho was, of all her suitors, tho only one whose character aud habits promised joy aud peace for the future. "I cannot leave my poor old father, Walter," tho old mau heard his daughter* say. "I must livo to love and care for him. Ou all tho earth 1 am tho only one left to love him. It is hard! My heart may break-bul tho pledge of love I gave to my dying mother must bo kept." "Aud so the groat joy dream of my youth must be changed to this sad reality. I cannot ask you to leave your father, sweet Agnes, for thc very truth iu you which I worship would bo made a lie, could you dc so. But I have a prayer. I pray thal God in his mercy may remove thc curse from your father's bended form." "The curse, Walter!" "Aye, tho Gold Curse," rejoined tho youth fervently. "I hope O od may render him penniless." "What? Pennyless?" repeated Ag? ues, with a start. "Aye, pennyless; for then ho would bo far moro wealthy than he is now. Then he would know how to appre? ciate the priceless blessing of his sweet Agues' love, aud then the crus! might bo broken, and his heart grov human again. And more than all,1 Walter continued, winding his am more closely about tho fair form o: his compauion, and speaking mon deeply, "then I could prove to hin ray love; then I could take you to nrj home; and wo could both love hin and caro for him while we lived." Noah Bremen stopped to hear n( more, and as he walked away, h< muttered to himself: "Tho rascal! He'd do great things me pennyless, and he paying for it the young villain." When tho old man gained his ac customod walk among the sycamore? he wiped something from his eye. H acted as though a mote had bee) blown iu there. Two weeks passed, and Agues grei pale and thiu. She*did not sing a she used to, nor could sho smile n had been her wont. Still, she mm mured not, uor did her kindness t her father grow less. "Oh, God, help me to love m father," she prayed, ono night. "Li not my grief make mc forget ni duty." And the old man heard it. One night Noah came home froi the city, and in his hand he brougl a small trunk. He barred the doo and drew the tattered curtains closi "See," ho said, as he opened tl trunk, and piled the buuk notes upo the table. "Look there, Agnes, an see how I have worked in my li time. I had no education, but Fi laid up money-monet/-MONEY. HG many men would sell me all the brui us to-night for this. See! oi thousand-two-three-four! Cou thom, Agnes. There is ?1,000 : each, package. " "Why have you taken it from tl bank, father?" "To let it my child; to let it al round interest, Agnes. I shall do ble it, darling." The old man's eye sparkled with e Jeni, satisfaction, while his child w< a sad, sorrowing look. Aud lo after that she looked at the worki features of her father uufc pray that tho gold fiend would set h free. When Agnes re-iiu-. ?he left 1 father up; but ere :?<!:?-. i>he her him put his little rrunK.a?;iy,.a go to his 1 d; aud tlu-u ?he slope Hark'. YA .mt sound is that? Agi sturts up in affright, and listens; 1 see, a bright light is gleaming < into the night, aud thick voluu of smoke pour into the garrot. "Fire! lire!" sounded a voice fr the entry, and she hears the sin crackling now, and feels the he "Agnes, my child," and in a thor moment her father was ut the stairs. He is dressed but i is not. "Take all your clothing, Agnes, and you can put them on ia tho entry-the boase is nil on fire. " In u few minutes moro the lather and child stood in tho road, the latter with a bundle of clothing in her hand, while the former held ft. snmll trunk. They gazed upon the burning building; but neither spoke. And others came miming to the scene, but no ono tried to stay tho tinnies. Aud tho e?brt would have beon useless had it been made, for tho old shell bumed Uko tinder! But more still, no one would have made the effort, even had success been evident, for the miserable old hut had too long occupied ono of tho fairest spots ot tho vilhigo. There wero no other buildings to be endan? gered, so they let tho old thing burn. "You have your money safe," said Agnes, "Yes. Sec, I took the trunk. I loft the camile burning so that I could watch it. But I went to sleep, and tho candle must have fallcu over. But I got the trunk." As ho spoke he htdd it up and gazed upon it by tho light of the Haring ruins. l'Tloi'. ain't the trunk!" whispered Agnes in affright. "NOT-." But tho old tuan spoko no further. Ho said he had taken the wrong trunk. This was only filled with the old deeds and rusty receipts. ' limned! Lost!" groaned Noah Bremen, as ho turned from the scat? tered embers. "I had ?30,000 in that trunk, and whore are they now." "Xever mind," said Agues, wind? ing her anus about her father's neck, "we'll bc happy without it."
