THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.
‘I'll keep the light in the window Sandy
till you come back."
‘•Never ntind, mother,’’ said the boy stan
ding at the door in an uncertain, slouching
kind of way; “’I might he lato."
‘ It's dark along the lane,’’ said the nmth-
er, ‘‘and a Lit of cttndle-light would be ill

his light hair changed iu tint, his' voice
grew deep and coarse.
lie was in no way a good man, hot he
was a good sailor.
As the years passed, he came to be an
officer—first mate of the Agamcuon.
Ills pockets were full enough for all pur
poses. The sea was better than land to hint,
and when on shore he led that kind ofboister-
ous life that drives the thought of “mother"
from men's very souls.
He had friend*, at least he thought so—
men who knew when his pay jingled in his
pockets women who did not blush to receive
the lavish gifts from the jovial sailor.
lie was not niggardly; nay once he had
emptied his last remaining silver into a beg
gar's band.
It happened to be a prettyish beggar girl,
ami he had gone on a three years cruise
shoeless; aud during shipwreck, or when the
Agamenon found a sister vessel in distress,
Sandy war bravest of the brave; but he had
never been generous nor brave enough to go
baek to the eastward seaport where his moth
er had left the candle burning for him in
the window—never, never.
Five years were gone, aud ten, and fifteen,
and twenty.
A man nearly forty years stood in Sandy
Cameron's shoes—a man who led the wild
est life under the moon ashore; a man to
ISome si range providence had saved San
dy Cameron’- life.
Bruised and weak, he lay motionless for a
long while—bruised and weak, still he stag
gered to his feet at last.
Above him—his sailor eyed used to re
member such things—towered well-known
rocks, kissed by a struggling moonlight.
The sea had flung him into the arms of
his native seaport: and up above, a man wan
dering along the shore, watching the light
house signals perhaps, was singing a hymn,
a Methodist hymn :
‘•TUere’s a light in the window for thee, brother,
There's alight iu the window for thee.”
And then the tears rolled down the sail
or's cheeks, and his softened heart yearned
for the mother who had said:
‘•I'll keep a light till ye como back Sandy.”
Twenty years ago, and she was nearly fifty
then. Probably she was dead; bnt some
one might be iu the old homo yet who could
tell him of her.
And so io the mid-night darkness the sail
or staggered np the river path, through the
changed streets, and, led by the compass of
his heart, to tho lane where his boyhood's
home had been so long before.
The lane was no more—a street of houses
now; but at its end, or ho dreampt, Sandy
saw a candle gleam.
He drew nearer. No fancy misled him.—
Yes, between the curtains stood a candle.

liedthy and letivr. though no U nger young;
and as she talked she worked on, ironing the
linen she had washed and starched, and
heaping it, like snow-drift, in the great bas

Four other children were iu the room,
girls and boys, too young to do uiueh f.u
themselves; but Sandy was eighteen, a tall,
handsome fellow, with ripe lips and ehc ks.

He struck the door with his baud.
He waited, trembling, and the door open

—his mother. He knew her stern, strong
features and her blue eyes still.
“What’s this ?" she said, iu her Scotch ac

And he answered :
“A poor sailor, shipwrecked and needing
shelter.”
“Conic in,” she said—“come in and warm

to the socket, and tho very wick smoldered

nothing else was visible.
Battered by the atorms already, bruised
by the waves, wounded by the rocks, still
the Agamenon fought her way homeward ;
by the morrow eve sound earth would be be

and swore they were pleasant sights.
Before he slept he stood a long while lean

if he over thought.
It was an evil lingering for the Agamenon
A spark from the cigar held in unsteady
hand, regarded by eyes not brighter for re
cent draughts of brandy, made its way some
Iltiw, wind borne Ol vlomwMi-borno, into tI*o
place where the cargo of the vessel had been
stowed away, and at the dead of night they
of the mid-watch saw stealing through the
planks beneath them red aud yellow tongues
of flames.
The vessel was on fire.
“Fire! fire! fire!” the word rang its way
to heaven, shouted by every tongue or, board.
The scene that followed beggars descrip

There was no hope from the firrt, nunc

Secret* orjlsisonry.
One of the most singular and wonderful
discoveries of the age, was made iu the Cur-
rysville coal mines a few days ago. At a
depth of 180 feet, while the miners were
cutting through a slate stone, they discovered
the petrified body of a sea serpent. We ex
amined this petrifaction, and can say with
truth, that it is the finest specimen we ever
saw. Unfortunately it. was broken into three
pieces, and a piece from near the centre is
missing—perhajis thrown out in silver and
stone. A limb had evidently fallen across
the serpent, about e;ght or ten inches from
the head, and mashed the part underneath
flat, and, strange to say, even this thin part
was formed into solid stone, and was taken
out perfect. Tho wrinkles in the body of
the serpert, in its writhing as if to extricate
itself from the stick that fell across it, were
as perfect and natural as the day the affair
took place. The head is shaped like that of
an eel. and the tail, from indications, must
have been supplied with a broad fin, or a
flat, fleshy substance, as a propeller. The
eyes and mouth can be distinctly seen, while
ttie body is covered with smell sunken spots,
similaa to those on a hag skin, though not
so small or numerous. This specimen is five
feet three indies long, and near ten inches
around tho largest part of the body-
Tu addition to the most singular curiosity,
perfect impressions of leaves. limbs, brush
and other samples of vegetation were taken
out at this enormous depth. Among these
was a beautiful impression of what is famil-
liarly known as snake weed, or fern, which
grows in almost every valley throughout the
Western country.
Tho most singular specimen is yet to be
described, and iu attempting to communicate
the fact to our readers, we feel as though the
history of our earth is just as much a mys
tery to the present generation as it was to
those who inhabited it before the flood—the
• half has not yet been told.” The sole of a
shoe or sandal was taken out in a complete
state petrcfacti?n. The heel is almost
perfect, and the impresaioii of something in
the heel resembles ‘acks or nails is plain aud
distinct. This specimen is about eight inch
es long and of tho usual width.

What (lie South Needs and Asks.
The New York Tribune advocates an in
crease of “kindlier feelings toward the South
ern people so absolutely osecotia! to true
“reconstruction.” The Tribune has hit
upon the ouly basis of a. solid re union—the
thing the South has plead and begged for,
but in vain—and yet. though confessedly
‘•absolutely essential,” how little impress the
necessity has made upon the Northern heart.
We may go further aud ask, how often is
this kindly spirit seen to animate the Tri
bune, which now, in a moment of freedom
from bad passions, raises the flag of friend
ship 1
Yes, kindness is what the South asks, and
must receive before she can consider herself
at heart a constituent portion of the Ameri
can Union. Aud how much of it docs she
get from any ruling quarter of the North ?
Grave legislators, trusted vnth the welfare
and happiness of forty millions of people,
ought to be the least influenced by hatred
and revenge; yet, every act of legislation
regarding the South, for five years past, has
been vindictive and penal in its nature. Not
one line of conciliation aud friendly regard
has been placed upon the stalutc book, and
seldom does a member of cither house of
Oougrc.ss rise to speak, that a volley of de
nunciations is.not poured forth upon the de
voted heads of the Southern people. In
stead of recognizing us as brethren and
friends, wo are characterized as “rebels,”
“traitors” and “outcasts,” still, and every
crime in the decalogue is laid to our charge.
In order to procure material for this unnatu
ral war, and justify meditated outrages in the
form of enactments against the Southern
people, spies and emissaries are sent by the
dominant party into every part of the South
to magnify every trifling dispute or infrac
tion ofluw, and on all possible subjects to
bear false witness against us. In this, is har
mony with the “kindlier feelings” that Mr.
Greeley holds up as “absolutely essential to
me reconstruction ?”
And take the Bepulfiior.u press of the
North—the representative and index of pub
lic sentiment—to what extent is its vast in
fluence let to the inspiration ef kindly and
fraternal feelings bctwacn the two peoples ?
When, indeed, do we even get a kind word
at all from that all-powerful source ? Arc
not the Republic Donors of tlm Yorth so
many willing sUaSo harnessed to the greae
juggernaut of radicalism, ready to do the bid
ding of their drivers and go whichever way
they will ? And is it not a leading idea in
the policy of these latter, that the South has
no rights which they are under any obliga
tions to respect, and that any legislative out
rage upon her people may be justified by tbe
plea that it is necessary to preserve the pow
er of the radical party ? Are not a majority
of Republican Senators to-day seeking to
strike out Bingham’s amendment from the
Georgia bill, the sole object of which is to
give our people control of their own govern
ment under tho Constitution of the State,
and is not this action defended solely on the
ground that if elections are allowed at the
time prescribed in that instrument, the radi
cals will be beaten ? Is this friendly, or
even republican legislation, which seeks to
prolong the tenure of officers in a State be
yond the constitutional term, aud for the
reason that if tho Constitution be respected,
those officers would be rejected by the peo
ple? How is it possible for the people of
Georgia, or of any other State, South or
North, to feel kindly toward a government
which thu? by Circe condemns thorn to servi
tude under rulers whom they cordially des
pised ? It is not in human nature to return
love for hated, nnu fraternal ‘holing for buf

When voungho berime intimately acquaint
ed with a daughter of one of the Knicker
bockers of the time, sturdy in family wealth.
With the young lady he pressed his suit
successfully; and in time the father might
have succumbed, despite the fact that he
regarded the resource with which Irving
proposed to support a wife too slender to
maintain that style of luxury to which his
daughter had been accustomed. In an evil
hour as, it semed, a Ih\ Creighton, a minister
ofthe I’resbytcrian Church, despite his Scott
ish parentage, fell in with the gentleman
whom Irving was desirous of making hi*
father-in-law. The clergyman's eyes dazzled
by the beauty of the aspiring author, and thn
eyes of the father were blinded to all other
considerations by the wealth which Dr.
Creighton offered together with his heart.
Time and persistency published Irving from
the scene, and the girl obedient to her father’*
urgent threats, gave his precedence of her
own.—But the saddest part of ths story re
mains to be told. When tho question of »
marriage portion was under consideration,
tho father stated that the family had been
tainted with insanity; and to guard against
the evils of harsh treatment, should be af
flicted with the same malady, insisted that ft
certain sum should be set aside, which, in
the event of such a calamity, should be de
voted to her mnintainunce on her estate on
the bank ofthe Hudson, and that in no event
should she he removed from the mansion
there.
The terms the radont suitor, hoping for
the best, com plied with. It may have been
the result of hereditary disease, or of tho
effort to crush out and kill her young hopes,
but not many years olased before the young
wife was a raving maniac. She became so
violent that confinement was render
necessary, aud the family mansion was cbl
vetted into an asylum. Dr. Creighton build-
