TO NY Early Dreams.
BY CHARLES STEWART.

Visions Of bygone days how do ye gleam
Through many shadowings
Ofclouds increasing on times mournful stream
Like bright elysian things,
Quivering their lucid wings
On manhoods earnest life with lasting beam.
Though hopeless all, their still unfading fire,
Varied as tints of even,
Pervades my heart, maturer to inspire
Sweet souvenirs of heaven
May none, alas be riven
From out my SOUL save those of mere desire.
The strength of wealth and mind to consecrate
On virtues peerless shrine
Filled many dreams aud all my prayers. How
great
This real, reared by time,
Which selfish thoughts doth twine
Around the heart, and shuts ideals gate.
When on the twilight limits of the air
The vestal moon
Quvers her white shell mid the crimson rare
And lily room
At eve's pale noon,
So shine my dreams, so sad, so softly fairl

Fire at sea.
BY FREDERICK W. SAUNDERS.

Comparatively few persons have had
an opportunity of witnessing the burn
ing of a large ship upon the open sea ;
u those conn cted with the burning yes
sci the sight can only be one of terror
and apprehension, bat to a spectator,
slfe upon the deck of his own ship,
having no fears for the fety of the
crew of the doomed vessel, and with the
comfortable consciousness that whatev-
er loss there may BE-, will fall upon the
wealthy underwriters of Wall and State
streets, the spectacle is one of unsurpas-
sed grandeur and sublimity.
In December of '48, on homeward
bound passage from the East Indies to
Boston, near latitude thirty-fve north,
at about three bslls--half past nine-in
the first night watch, we discovered a
dim light in the horizon, about two
points on the larboard bow it was,
however, so faint, and at such distance
that but little notice was taken of it at
the time. The wind, which was on the
quarter, was steady, and with royal stud
ding sails set, we we're going from seven
to eight knots. The night was clear
and starlight, and the sea nearly as
smooth as pond the good slip gath
ering headway from her immense spread
of canvass, was darting through the wa
ter with continuous rushing sonnd,
very musical to homeward- bound ears,
especially after long voyage.
The beauty Of the night had kept
most of the watch below upon deck, and
the increasing light, which we were rap
idly approaching, brought up the rest ;
the crew were scattered about in the
forward part of the ship, some walking
backward and forward in the waist,
talking of home which they were so soon
to see, and from which they had so long
been absent others IN the rigging and
alolt upon the yards. gazing at, and
speculatlng as to the cause of the strange
light Various were the conjectures :;
the most probable, and the one which
for the time satisfied US, was that it pros
cceded f.om some whaler, trying out
bubber.
BY eleven O'Clock, tongues of flame
could be distinctly seen, BY the aid of a
glass, shooting up from the horizon j,
there could no longer be any doubt ; it
was some ship on FIRE. Our course was
accordingly changed two points, and
squaring the yards, we stood directly
for her. Another half hour and the
flames could be seen from the deck, the
highest rails caught and reflected the
light, imparting to them soft, hazy, :,
golden hue, while every brace and stay
were as cl arly defined as as at MONDAY
the fresh tar upon the rigging glitter
ing ike diamonds, in strong contrast to
the pure white of the sails, aud the mis-
ty, indistinct tracery of the rigging, not
yet lighted up By the flames.
As we continued 10 approach, one sail
after another took the same sunset hue,
until every part o. the ship, from wa'e,-
line to royal truck, was a>glow with the
weird light, now becoming din and pc

The Moments of Love.

Loves brightest moments,
How cheering are they:
They Danish our sorrows,
Like eXiles, away.
They fall on the heart
Like tn eurapturing beams
That dance on the soul
In the island of dreams.
They open the mind
Like flower in bloom,
And cover with smiles
The fears Of the tomb;
They dress virtue bright
In appetite a ray,
As fair as the wreath
On the forehead on day.
Loves brightest moments
Uniting III rhyme.
Are the most precious buds
In the garland of Time.
They breathe in the ear
Like the voice of Il kiss,
And apparel the soul
In a garme 1t of bliss.
The moments of love
Are the best OF our life
They heal all the wounds
That are given by strife,
And there are no moments,
On earth or above,
That can soften the heart
Like the moments Of love.
Butte record., 1855-11-17

and by the time they arrived under our
bow 10 take the line for towing, so rapid
had been our approach to the burning
vessel, that our destruction seemed in
evitable, and for moment we hesitated
whether to attempt to save her or make
the best Of the time in removing valua-
bles. The heat had become so intense
as to be almost unendurable, and the
tar trying cut from the tanding rigging,
was running down upon the deck in
streams.
The idea of abandoning the ship to
her fate, lasted but for an instant, and
plunging over the bow into the boats we
bent to the oars as if our very existence
depended upon our exertions. The
double crew furnished an abundance of
power, and with three men to each oar,
the boats, as the tow lines tightened
fairly leaped from the water, quivering
meath the strokes.
A forward motion was soon communi-
Gated to the ship, and she began TO move
slowly by the burning vessel, but at SO
short distance that we were in momen-
tary expectation of seeing the rigging
take fire Already we were half the
ships length ahead, our quarter just
tapping over the forecastle of the other,
but scarcely distance of ten feet inter,
yening.
Pull pull = roared the captain, as
he stood upon the forecastle, the hair,
apparently, being fairly s.nged upon his
head
We did pull, and as light puff of
wind filing our after sails, and drove her
stern still nearer the fire, we bent to the
work with such viii, that half the oars
broke in our grasp. But it was enough
"a stronger puff drove her bodily to lee
ward, the stump of the burning bowsprit
Just grazing our taft all as we swung
clear two leet less headway, and the
fire would have been communicated to
our mizzen rigging, and the destruction
of the ship inevitable.
The puffs of wind became stronger,
until they finally settled into steady
breeze, and we quickly placed half
mile between ourselves and our late foe,
when the burning ship suddenly assumed
a new aspect the stern gradually set
tied, while the bow rose higher until it
stood almost perpendicular, then with
deep sough, a gurgling and kissing of
the water, the wreck disappeared
huge column of steam rose from the sur
face, hovered a moment over the spot,
then quickly condensed and vanished,
and the stars which had been outshone
by the flame, once more resumed their
brilliance, and nothing marked where
noble ship had perished.
With many thanks to the schooner for
her assistance, we braced up the yards,
and on a west-nor'- r'-west course, turned
our PROV toward the coast of our native
land, and every heart bright with joyful
anticipations.

RattEesnake Story.

a correspondent Oh the Ct- Louis
Democrat, dating from Paoli, Kansas
states that on a late Sunday evening he
took a heightened stroll among the
bluffs, and, charmed with the scenery,
reclincd upon the summit Of moss COW
cred rock, when he fell into a semi-con-
scioos sleep. Whilst in that state he
felt at the extrcmities of the fcgers Of
his left hand a sensation new and pecu>
liar, which sent a thrill of pleasure to
the mind and heart. 1t was soothing
drawing, and agreeably titillating, as if
the fingers were dissolving away in a
delightful self-absorption
"Just then," he says, from this sort
of blissful abandon, l was startled by the
report of gunshot within few PAGES
ofme. sprang to my feet, and with
astonishment saw nv friend Mitchell
standing near. My attention was then
canght by the sound of the most shrill,
keen, ringing rattle that ever penetrated
the human ear; and, on looking down, |
discovered a huge rattlesnake, with CORY
head, quivering in the agony Of death,
and sending forth from his erect tail the
terrible tocsin that | heard.
His friend Mitchell told him that his
resting place was the top of a rattle
snake den, and pointed out the orifces
through which they passed; that he was
in the habit of coming there on Sunday
evenings to shoot sattlesnakes; when he
discovered to his horror monstrous
snake licking his hand and covering it
with Shiny coating preparatory to deg
luton, when he discharged load of
buckshot into his head
''He had scarcely told me this, which
took but a moment, when ratties all
around brought US to recollection that
we were not yet free from danger. We
saw ten or fifteen large rattlesnakes ap-
preaching us from every quarter, with
eyes glaring revengefully, ,barbed tongues
thrusting threateningly, and rattles
sounding alarmingly. They are brave
and cannot be intimidated. and will die
over the dead body of their companion
sooner than desert it. We knew the
indomitable character Of our enemy, and
Mitchell and I,with his double barrelled
gun and my sticks and stones, fought
our way out as best we could. Mitchell
has killed one hundred and seven o.
them-the largest of which had twenty
six rattles. He says the Indians who
have been in the habit of hunting then
for many years, have killed much Older

A Fearful A AdventuTe---A Boy Fall.
ing One Hundred Feet.

Last Saturday, a thrilling incident
occurred at PatterSon's Falls, in Spar
ia, about five miles north oi this village.
a little boy only four years old, son of
Mr. r. |. Patterson; left the house of
his parents about two O'Clock, and wan
dered to the head oil the falls, half a
mile distant. He not returning at five
O'Clock, search was made in the di-
rection OF the falls, when at once the
wort fears OF his parents were real,
zed. | -, -. .- ,,,.5,
He had gone over the brink of the
|trighttul precipice, as his track in the
snow gave evidence, which covered
the more abrupt juts of the falls. In
the distance below dark speck was all
that could be seen, and nothing could
be heard except the scpuIchral roar of
the water. Alter considerable difficul.
ty the summit OF the falls was effected.
The dark specs proved to be the hole
produced BY the fall, from which, lie
was thrown into the snow about three
yards to the left. He had fallen one
hundred ieet, and finding he could not
retrace his steps, he yentured further,
passing over three other falls less dan
gerous, where he was found nearly fro
zen. ..
According to the boys account, he
then felt sick He was Immediately
taken to the house, and soon revived
What sparicularly providential is the
fact, that he received no other injury
than slight bruise upon his head, and
the severe cold he suffered while in his
dismal abode. He honored US with a
visit yesterday, and we found him a
pattern OF a boy worth looking at

Hnrihie Story.


The ChicagoSpress OF Saturday is
furnished with the following details oil
a rumor current in Lafayette, Ind, on
Thursday last:
On the Saturday preceding the men,
orable storm OF the 2lst January, two
families, numbering ten persons, NOV
ing from Southern Indiana to Northern
Illinois, arrived at Oxford, the county
seat Of Benton county, Ind, about tor
ty miles northwest OF Lafayette, with
two OK teams, and we'll provided with
necessaries for the road. They re-
mained there through the storm, and on
Monday morning resumed their jour.
ney. Last Tuesday morning, a man
passing over praine, only about five
miles from Oxford, came upon sight
which filled him with horror.
The carcasses of two oxen, from
which the viscera had been removed,
lay upon the ground. Inside of one
were the frozen bodies OF lour children,
and in the other the frozen corpse oil
the mother with nursing infant at her
breast. Under the snow was a heap
oil ashes in which the iron OF the wag-
ons showed that the party had broken
them up, and burned everything they
had in them, in the effort to save their
hives. Not tar from this spot was found
the body OF the other woman OF the
party, partly concealed in a snow driit,
aud near her one of the men. The
two other men had not been found.
