Who was CasabIanca ?

OWEN CASABIANCA was a native
" of Corsica, on which island he was
born in the year 1888. His father was
Louis Casabianca, a distinguished French
politician and naval commander and the
friend of Napoleon. He was captain at
the time of the Orient, one of the larg-
est vessels in the French navy, a mag
nificent man-of-war, carrying 120 guns
and 500 seamen. OF Casabianca's moth
er we know but little, save that she was
young and beautiful Corsican lady,
and devotedly attached to her son.
Owen was her only child, a wholesome,
manly little fellow, with her beauty in
his flashing eye and dusky hair. She
died while he was yet quite young, and
when the green sod was placed above
her grave, the boy left the pleasant val
ley under the smiling hills of Corsica to
go with his father and tread the hard
deck of war vessel. Mere child as he
was, Casabianca soon grew to love his
fathers dangerous calling, and became
a favorite with all on board. He was
made midshipman, and at the early age
Of ten years practiced with his father in
the battle of the Nile. The ship caught
fire during the action. Soon after, Cap
tain Casabianca, the father, was wound
ed by musket ball. Not yet disabled,
he was struck in the head some minutes
later by splinter which laid him on
tha Ianly
unconscious of the chieftain IS doom still
held his post at the battery, where he
worked like the hero he was. He saw
the flames raging around him he saw
the ships crew deserting him one by one,
and the boy was urged to flee. With
courage and GOODNESS beyond his years
he refused to desert his post. Worthy
son of Louis Casabianca, he fought on
and never abandoned the Orient till the
whole of the immense vessel was in
flames. Then seeking refuge on float
ing mast,he left the burning ship behind
him. But he was too late. The final
catastrophe came like the judgment
doom. With an explosion so tremendous
that every ship felt it to the bottom, the
Orient blew up, and from among the
wreck the next morning was picked up
the dead body of our hero, whose story,
romance and poetry, cannot make more
heroic than it was.

A Girl Worth HavInu.

ME heard of a pretty incident the
w other day which we cannot help
relating. A young lady from the South,
it seems,was wooed and won by youth
full physician living in California.
When the engagement was made the
doctor was rich, having been very
successful in San Francisco. 1t had not
existed six months, however, when by
unfortunate investment he lost his entire
cheap" This event came upon him, it
may be added, just as he was about to
claim his bride. What does he do ?n
Why, like an honorable and chivalrous
young fellow, as he is, he sits down and
writes the lady every particular of the
unhappy turn which has taken place in
his fortunes, assuring her that if the
fact produced any change in her feeling
towards him, she is released from every
promise she has made him. And what
does the dear, good girl do = Why, she
takes lump of pure gold which her
lover had sent her in his prosperity as a
keepsake, and having it manufactured
into ring, forwarded it to him with
the following Bible inscription engraved
in distinct characters on the outside =
Entreat me not to leave thee, or to re-
turn from following after thee; for
whittier thou goest will 1 go, and whith-
er thou lodgest will lodge thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
God; where thou diest will 1 die, and
there will be buried; the Lord do SO to
me, also, if aught but death part me
and thee.'
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this precious
evidence of her devotion to him, both
in storm and sunshine. We may add
that fortune soon again smiled upon the
young physician, and that he subse-
quently returned to the north to wed
the girl he loved, and who loved him
with such undying affection. Reader,
this is all true. Young ladies who read
the Bible as closely as the heroine Of
this incident seem to have done are
pretty sure to make good sweethearts
and better wives.

On the day and date aforesaid, Ben

Ben knew the beast was worth twice
the money, and he finally purchased
her for SIS, which amount was paid
over to the granger just in time for him
to catch the up train for Carthage. The
horse was brought on board, and Ben
sat down to witness the operation of
divesting her of her harness. All went

Select Poetry,
A HoUsEKEEPER's TRAGEDY.

One day as wandered, heard complain
ing,
And saw poor woman, the picture of
gloom
She glared at the mud on the doorsteps ('twas
raining),
And this was her wall as she welded her
broom:
"Oh life is toll, and love a trouble,
And beauty will fade and riches flee;
And pleasures they dwindle, and prices they
double,
And nothing is what could wish it to be.
"There's too much of worriment goes to a
bonnet;
There's too much of ironing goes to a
shirt;
There's nothing that pays for the time that you
waste on its
There's nothing that lasts but trouble and
dirt.
"In March it is mud it's slush in Decem-
The midsummer breezes are loaded with
dust;
In fall the leaves litter in muggy Septem-
ber
The wallpaper rots, and the candlesticks
rust.
"There are worms in the cherries, and slugs
in the roses,
And ants in the sugar and mice in the
pies;
The rubbish ofspiders no mortal supposes,
And ravaging reaches and damaging flies.
It's sweeping at six, and dusting at seven;
It's victuals at eight, and dishes at nine
It's potting and panning from ten to eleven !;
We scarce break oul fast ere we plan how to
dine.
F'With grease and with CRIME, from corner to
centre,
Forever at war and forever alert,
No rest for day, lest the enemy enter
spend my whole life in struggle with
dirt.
''Last night, in my dreams, was stationed
forever
On bare little isle in the midst of the
sea
My one chance of life was a ceaseless en-
deavor
To sweep off the waves that swept over
me.
"Alasl twas no dream Again behold
it,
Iyield; am helpless my fate to avert %
She rolled down her sleeves, her apron she
folded,
Then laid down and died, and was buried
in dirt!

A True Fish Story.

ONE DAY last summer, about week
" after Rev. Frank Chandler, of Free
hold, had removed with his family to-
his charming little cottage at Spring
Lake, his amiable wife was somewhat
exercised because they had not as yet
been able to procure any fresh fish or
crabs. Now one of the advantages,
which they had expected to enjoy, in
in spending the summer by the sea, was
discussion of these very denizens of
the watery element. Mrs. Chandler
therefore proposed to her husband that
he should hitch the horse and hunt up
some place where these interesting
creatures could be purchased He thought
the suggestion good one and soon had
Old Dan" all harnessed and prepared
for the expedition. In the meantime,
his daughter Annie and some young
friends had been playing in the yard in
front of the house. All at once they
were startled by seeing a fish drop,
right down in front of them, within
few yards of the dwelling. They looked
up and saw fish hawk flying through
the air, closely pursued by large bird
of prey, which they took to he an eagle.
The hawk had evidently just caught
the fish in "Wreck Pond" which is
close by their residence, and was maxi
ing off with the prize when the robber
bird attacked him and compelled him to
drop it, Nfe
This is well-known characteristic of
the eagle. He will sit long time watch-
ing until his industrious neighbor has
caught fish and will then pounee down
upon him, and endeavor to rob him of
his spoil. The poor fish hawk being
less swift of wing becomes the easy vie
tim of his powerful antagonist. On this
occasion, however, both birds were fated
to go home hungry, for Miss Annie,
picking up the fish, brought it, squirm-
ing in her hands, to her father, who was
just about starting, and related to him
how it had been dropped at the very
door. 1t was blue maekerel and
weighed several pounds. 1t is needless
to state that " old DAM did not go on
his voyage of discovery that afternoon,
and the pastors family feasted ON the
fish which had been provided for them
in so remarkable manner.
