Floating above the golden sand;

And singing swcet-as maidCns con,
Ever tho low heart burden ran:

Tho foam that on the shorc did No

And singing soft-as maidens may
Ever she charmed the sea alwsy:

Vast clouds and dread, the wasted, worn,
Low-lying sun were cumbering.
Tho drowsy sea, with wild winds tone,
Woke from ito noontide slumbesing;
Afar, pale ships, until tho morn
The darkling hours were numbering;
And singing herce-as mAidens dare

Feu,lal Tyranny Still Extant In England.

A gentleman writes to the London
Times to call attention to very old and
oppressive feudal custom in the county
Of Sussex, England: the custom Of
taking heriots on a change of tenants
in copyhoId estates. The sufferer in
this case was farmer in the village of
Hankenbury, which ad]oins the town
of Tunbridge Wells, who, together with
his farm, which is freehold, occupies a
small piece of copyhold land under the
Marquis of Camden. The farmer hav-
ing lately met his death from
an accident with q gun, the Mar
quis' agent came to the homestead of
the deceased and selected the finest COW
out of herd of only four kline AZ q
heriot, and claimed the animal or its
price from the son on his succession to
his fathers copyhold. The family is
poor, and the fine consequently pres.
ses with unusual severity on the son at
time when he is also buraened with
his fathers funeral expenses. This
custom of levying heriots the write,
ventures to think is one (which needs
only to be brought to general notice to
be secuted as unworth of tolerance in
an enlightened age. to be reprobated
rs feudal barbarism, and abolished
forthwith as the last remaining badge
of the villianage and serldom of an
cient times.

A SAD STORY AND FALSE
RUMOR.

Having heard a story in circulation
to the effect that q woman living In
the upper part of Gold Hill had died
from actual, literal starvation, we
have taken the pains to ascertain the
true facts of the case, which we give
below. About ten days ago DIR. Kirby
was called to attend a poor woman
living Just below the old Alpha works,
a Mrs. Tut, whom he found sick,
though not very serious III, but In APP
parently very destitute circumstances
the house being devoid Of even the
commonesr n~ecessaries OF life. The
next day he called again, finding his
patient greatly improved. and after
giving a prescription, believing her
out Of danger and telling her not to
fail to send for him should she get
worse, he left, aud heard no more from
her for four or five days, when he was
told she was much worse and immedi-
ately went to see her. Finding her In
a dangerously low situation. In fact
almost past a hope Of recovery with
pneumonia and typhoid fever and des-
titute of either the necessaries OF life
or the money to obtain them, the Doc
tor Immediately informed the neigh
bors, who did all that was in their
power to provide for the woman's
wants. Mrs. Woodruff went to Vir-
ginia to procure q nurse, but found on
her return that Town Marshal Berry
had already obtained one and Mrs.
Tyrrel kindly took and cared for her
two little boys, aged respectively five
and seven years. When the Doctor
asked her why she did not send forhim
sooner, she replied that she had no
money and felt that 1t was giving him
too much trouble. She gradually grew
worse and died on Sunday morning
last, and was buried yesterday.
She Ind lived In Gold Hill, support
ing herself by washing and working
out for the past two years or more.
Her husband being taken sick about a
year ago. and becoming a confirmed
Invalid, was given a benefit BY thepeo-
pie of Gold Hill, which enabled him
to 90 to San Francisco to obtain medi-
cal treatment which lie could not get
here-since which time she has often
sent him a portion of her hard earn
ings, denying herself in her poverty
for the sake Of helping him. and Is
spoken OF In the highest terms BY all
who knew her. Mrs. Tyrrcll, wife OF
the foreman Of the Belcher mine. still
kindly cares for the little boys, and
will until friends or relatives, take
them.
There cannot possibly be blame at
tached, except to the poor woman her
self, In being too proud to let her situa-
ton be known, for there Is not n more
nd-hearted and generous people In
the world, where there Is restitution
or misery to alleviate, than those Of
Gold Hill.
