When Inst I walked your pebble shore, 0 seal O restless, monning seal To catch your briny breath once more, And hear, as oft 1 had before In those long-vanished days of yore, Sweet childhood's days of glco, What your wild waves were saying? So sweet and happy wsb tho song 1 could have listened all day long, Upon your bright sands straying. The sun each blushing cloud caressed, He smiled upon the glowing snnd, Trembled upon your heaving breast, And kissed each wavelet's foam'tipped crest. That hasted on in sweet unrest To greet the waiting stand With soft and rippling laughter. And Love and I, thai blessed day, Laughed happy, golden hours away, Nor thought what might conic after 1 But nh, since then, dear, dear old sen. I've stood on Life's bleak, wreck-strewn shore, The while came rolling in on me The waves of that mysterious sea, Far reaching as eternity, That ever, evermore Bolls on with ceaseless billow ; Wrenching our dearest hopes away, And drenching in its icy spray Fond hearts that fain would follow. And Love led me far down that wave, Trembling with terror, chilled with cold, While faithfully she sought to save From that remorseless, cruel grave My heart "'to have And hold," Gave to a life's fond keeping. Long, long she battled with the Rood, The while in helpless grief I stood, In helpless anguish weeping. Then checked my tears with smile divine, "'Tis but the casket's lost," she cried, '"The precious jewel still is thine, And in thy heart shall ever shine Resplendent as it rnwe from mine To bless a happy bride 1 Though Death fond hands may sever, Hearts that my breath hath breathed upon, Hearts by my fingers knit in one, .

Souttcr, in West New Brighton, near Sailors' Snug Harbor, Stuten Island. Mr Sutler is a banker of New York City,and Iiis house, which is very handsomely fur nished, had been left for the winter in chargo of servants, much valuable proper ty, including silverware having been left on the premises. The New York Sun says: "The house was broken into on Tues day night, the servants hound and gagged and everything carried ?way. A party of masked men entered the house the previous night, and after binding the ser vants, including the waiting man, three girls in these/vice of Mr. Souttcr, and two others employed by Commodore Os boruc, who were spending the evening with their friend.-, they ransacked the house, and being unable to open the iron safe in which the silverware was kept, blew it open with gunpowder. The stable was also visited and the silver mountings removed from the harness. They then took the gold heads of two walking canes in the hall, wantonly destroyed much property too cumbersome to be removed, and quit the house cautioning the ser vants not to make any attempt to stir before daylight. THE ONLY CLUE. Tw > boats, (/tic Mr. Charles II. Moigs's, and the other Mr. Livingston's were missing from the moorings, mid in these the burgulars had evidently escaped with their booty, for both boats were subse quently found on tho New Jersey shore, Mr. Souttcr carefully estimated the total loss, which he saiil is upwards of$12,000. The police could give no clue, for the BOrvants could not describe the burglars, and were uncertain as to tho number; some say therefore eleven,others twelve. ANNIE HAY'S STORY. Among those in the house nt the time of tho burglary was Annie Fays, a ser vant girl, who says that the girls and tho wailing man sat down to play cards, the coachman having gone to bed. At ten minutes past nine o'clock a knock was heard at the hall door, but none of the card party were in a mood to hasten to open it; nor were they required to do so, for without any repetition of the knock tho door, which was not locked, was pushed open, and before the card players could ris^^ party of masked men quietly filed into the kitcken and surrounded them. One of the robbers said that their party numbered eleven, and they were there to the house; if the servants remained fjill their lives would be spared, but it' tli tempted to escape or muko any outcry they would bo shot. Each of the intrud? rs held a pistol. The waiting man was fecund to his chair, but the girls were allovi^d their liberty until the plun dering wit: accomplished. Some of the robbers regained in the kitchen watching the scrvnvirt while others ransacked the house, awfo others ngain mounted guard outside- Everything that could be car ried away-y.vns speedily packed up, and much property, including fuvnituro and carpets, \. unnecessarily destroyed, ui^r-vixo oi'KX the .'- aim:. The roWmf? then turned their attention to the s?gi~ which they tried to forco open, but it.4 nmssivo iron door and pon derous Ioju plefiod their utmost cllbrts, and, nftei? nr.o> hours' unavailing toil,they held n-cojl |il, and in a few moments informed^ 10 sjrvants that they weic going to hi [w open the safe. They assert that tlicrowasno danger, but the prison ers thougUKthcy had merely been spared the ordcaHDf having their throats cut to be blownTw with the house. In a few minutes itw-prcparatious were made, und shortlyafi^Evnrd there was an explosion which sUmfv the mansion from roof to cellar. 'l-jfe safe was shattered and the valuable pj&te was quickly appropriated by the robfers, who had soaked u sheet in water for some purpose which the girl could not Ascertain. Their object proba bly was to throw it over anything which might be get on fii\*. by the explosion. The gang Jlhc.i prepared to go. They asked the ,-jjirls from Com. Osborne's house whether they were going home or ] u any one Was to call for them, und on learning'Y. one was coming, they turned vl-c^-tfti peril of their live? u attempt to liberate themselves before daylight. It was a quarter before twelve o'clock as they started from the house. As soon as they had disappeared, the servants attempted to release themselves, but were unable to do so until live o'clock, when the waiter did what be seems to have been too terrified to do before'? went to the coach-house and called the coachman. The party were soon released and the alarm given." - m? ??cm Communists in America. Those foreigners who think that they can introduce into our American com munities t he terrorism which cursed Paris under the Communist sway will lind themselves wo fully mistaken. Here, where honest labor is most respected and suffer ing poverty is most quickly relieved, the impudence of dictation, whether it come from high or low, is most effectually re sented and put down. Some of the leaders in the workingmen's demonstra tions it) New York, Cincinnati, and Chicago have yet to learn these truths. "Carl Iiosia, a young Austrian," it is said in the reports of one of these demon strations, "said the condition of the laborer in this country was worse than in Ger many." Then let Mr. Rossa go back to bis Germany at once, and there make his threats of "blood or bread," to Bismarck, and see hon* he will faro. Or he can F.tay and tbido the. fate of any such menacing demonstrations here. We are giad to ptrceivo. however, that these movements in the Western cities abate somewhat cf their factious character as they contii.ue before the public, as both in Chicago ind Cincinnati the last expres sion was nurcly an earnest appeal for work, und u case the authorities could not supply it, for some relief in the shape of foal and other necessaries of life. To such" tu appeal there never will be indifference among the people of this country. It is tine, starvation is Mich a mythical e\ent in this laud that many arc apt to ie incredulous to its cry, but we all knqjiv that there is danger of depri vation, wnjitatul suffering in every com munity, particularly in bard seasons for laborers. At such limes to furnish work is the best form of charity, and employ ers can often, and often do, render the greatest service to others without other injury to theimelves than using their moans in vhat may not be immediately profitable,but which, when prosperous /I times come ngain, they will be glad to have had done after all. It is better, too, thnt individuals should do this than a city or any other government, because the latter cannot so well discriminate as to cases of need, or so well decide when the extra work shall stop, and thus it is in danger of trnining up a class of labor dependents such ns constitutes the dan gerous clement in Paris, and would be prolific in corruption und municipal abuses anywhere. To destroy the self respect?or, ns we should eayin this coun try, the true citizenship?of tho laborer is as bad as to starve him; and this is just what Communism does. Out of an hon est man, content to take only what he earns as long ns his ability is unimpaired, it mnkes a social pirate, preying upon society to the extent of his opportunity, and dealing in threats when he has no thing more formidable. Our 'working men should shun this foreign viciousucss as his worst enemy. Our Idle Classes.?Like unto the great multitude that no man could num ber, whom ?5t. John speaks of in the Apocalypse, is the latter day army of in capables. They arc immovable sponges upon relatives, whom they keep forever poor. They cnunot keep a situation, and are barely competent to sit at a gato and collect tickets from a thin stream ofj)as scrs-in: Thej are the skeletons in nearly every household, and the abundant cause of heart-burnings and poverty everywhere They hang around like whipped curs, waiting for employment of such a menial description that none but those utterly emptied of industry, manhood nud pluck would accept it. When one contemplates this heart-burning army of drones, how ^t fires the zeal in praying that parents may have their eyes opened to the neces sity of making children work and obey curly, and to the need of giving them a good trade! Therule isalmostinvariable, .that tUo chijd which is not taught to 'obey before five, and to work before fifteen is lost. The parents who neg'.cct these vital duties' have the promising outlook of seeing their boy become either n sponge or a thief?the one the halfway house, and and the other the terminus. A Ham'Y Woman.?A writer happily discusses this topic. What spectacle more pleasing docs tho earth afford than a happy woman, contented in her sphere, ready at all times to benefit her little world by her exertions, and transforming the berries and thorns of life into roses of Paradise, by the magic of her touch ? There are those who are happ\, because they cannot help it?no misfortunes dam pen their happy smiles and they diffuse a j cheerful glow around them, ns they pursue the even tenor of their way. They have the secret ol contentment whos3 value is far above tho philosopher's stone ; for without seeking th* base ex change of gold, which may buy some sort of pleasure they convert everything j they touch into joy. What their condi tion is makes no difference. They .may be rich or poor high or low, ad mi rod or forsaken by the wicked world, but the sparkling fountain of happiness bubbles up in their hearts, and makes them radiantly beautiful. Though they live in a log cabin, they make it shine with a lustre that kings and queens may covet, and they make wealth a fountain of blessing to the children of poverty. Governor Letchor, the other day, related an incident of tho war. lie said that in one of the battles before Rich mond, four flag-bearers had been shot down, and aoall was mado for a volunteer to carry the colors. A stripling took the standard. Jn a few minutes the staff was snapped by a shot. Tho boy sat down, unloosed a shoe string, and tied it. lie 'Started in front ngain. Another bullet splintered the staff. It was then fasten ed by the other shoe-string, lie then hardly shook the folds out a second time, when down fell the flag, struck by a ball The shoe strings gave out. lie unbut toned his jacket, ripped his ajhirt to rib bons, and wrapped the broken rod and carried the shattered ensign through the light. Governor Lelcher said: "When they brought me the boy wtth the shat tered staff patched up with shoe-strings and shirt tails, I made him an officer; and gave him the best sword Virginia had."'

Her first thought was her child, jjj and she found thc-infnut had been com pletely covered with bed clothing to keep it quiet. Then followed a 8trujjgle,' itt' n w ich the villain fought to escape de:ectiim and tho mother for her child and lif&uo ? From the bed she was dragged on to tho : floor, and in tho scuffle had a portion of - one of her ears and also ouo of her fingers bitten off. Hoob she became unconscious and remembers nothing more for two hours. Suffering intensely, she crawled down stairs and into the bake-house, w where she saw beneath ouo of the table?, the lifeless body of her husband, his head . , troribly battered and resting in a pool of ^ blood. Sue gave an alarm ias soon as she was able, and the police promptly4'I3"* secured tbe murderer, his bourse behtgt'UR traced by marks of his bloody hands upon >i.: furniture, walls and doorways. He seems n to realize the enormity of his crime and i expresses his wiilinguess to bo hanged ..... T Juillft immediately. _, mm ' . ? ij.-t Rougiiiko It.?A few evenings 'ei?c? ; a Detroit chap who was sparking a west,' ni side girl wore an Elizabethian ruff, IJs pecting his coming, she dressed Jierself for the occasion, aud her ruff, stiff as an I unrestricted use of satin starch could make it, was of the most stunning Character. Tho lover came at tho. orthodox?tiiae, and was ushered into tho parlor, where ' enchanting maiden and her farther and mother were seated. Ho was cordially received, and the evening passed pleasant ly, although the old folks'tat up a good, deal longer than the young folks thought necessary. Finally they went to bed, and tbe twain were left alone. A ft er a cert a in amount of bash fulness, the maiden consented to her lovers re quest for a kiss. He essayed to take it. but was met at every point by a bristltug wall of tariatan and starch. Hccamcup> in front, and, was gouged in the eye. He sidled up to her, and the right hand prong '' * cut one of his cars half off. He attempt* ed to reach the prize over her shoulder, and a chevaux de feize of lace tickled his nose, until he was obliged 'to aneeaa.^^ Then the maiden came to his rescue, aud held down one side of the provoking 'rtfU^1"** and again tho lover advanced.' Just as -' ? he had all but reached her blooming cheek the damsel lost her grip, 'and- Iii? a>rfj razor-like decoration flew up withtafbraji.0(T, that took an under bit out of his right ^ t} ear. Then ho got mad, and an anticipated wedding, has come to a premature end. In Dr. Guthrie'? autobiography men tion is made of a certain eccentric Dr Wilson, an ardent missionary eager for the conversion of the Hindoos. His littlo foible was an utter disbelief in Ntwton'a theory o'"gravitation, and an antipathy to all missionaries who, like Dr. Duff, made Science the handmaid of ChrUtaoity What would have been his wrath had ho listened to the eloquent missionaryjscrmcn delivered in the nave of Westminster Abbey by Professor Max Muller, who prefaced his missiorary observations by remarks on the science of religion? Tho professor's sermon or lecture was preced ed by Hebcr's hymn, never before, wo believe, beard under such singular associa tions. The professor's argument, too, was very novel and strango to the ears of the conventional supporters of missions. He argued that no ouo religion could bo well understood without referring to others, an I that there was a large amount of good in each. This may oe sound teaching. Hut we do not see that singing the piaises o'Brnhuiinism is the best in centive to missionary effort and aid of Christianity. It is plain that missionary work would be regarded in a different light from what it is at present, if the heathen world were in tho pretty com fortable e mdition in which the learned professor represents it to be.
