Tho Fi,herm.n,s Funeral. .

Upon the breezy head-iAnd the hsherman's grave
they made,
Where oyer the daisies and clover bells, the birchen
branches swayed;
Above us the lark was singing in the cloudless
skies Of June,
And under the cliffs the pillows were chanting their
ceaseless tune;
For the creamy line was curving along the hollow
shore,
Where the dear old tides ware flowing that he
would ride no moro,
The diFgof the wave the note of the bird. and the
priests low tone were blent
In the breeze that blow from the moorland, all
laden with country scent;
But never a thought of the new-mown hay tossing
on the sunny plains.
Or of lilies deep in the wild wood, or roses gem
ming the lanes,
Woke in the hearts Of the stern. bronzed men who
gathered around the grave
Where lay the mate who had fought with them the
battle of wind and wave.
How boldly be steered the cable the toaming
bar,
When the sky was black to the eastward, and the
breakers white on the Scar!
How his kneen eye caught the squall ahead, how
his strong hand furled the SAIL
As we drove Ter the angry waters before the rag
ing galel
How CHEEKY he kept all the long dark night. and
never person spoke
Good words, like those he said to us, when at last
the morning broLei
b. thought the dead mans comrades, as silent and
sad they stood,
While the prayer was prayed the blessings said,
and the dull earth struck the wood;
And the widows sob, and the orphans wall, Jared
through the joyous air;
How could the light wind DER the sea blow on 80
fresh and fair?
How could the gay waves laugh and leap, landward
Ger sand and stone
While he, who knew and loved them all, lay Tapped
in clay alone?
But for long when to the beetling heights the snow
tipped billows roll
When the cod, and skate, and doghsh dart around
the herring shoal
When gear is sorted and calls set, and the mer
ry brsezes blow.
And away to the deep sea harvest the stalwart
reapers 60,
kindly sight and hearty word they will give to
him who lies
Where the clover springs, and the heather blooms.
v h the northern skies.

this must always influence the embezzler,

THE New York Tribune is cheered over
the fact that embezzlers are to be here

term in the same State for stealing an

Oakley stole from the bank with which

to see anything like adequate punishment
IN that The truth is that embezzlers are
not being punished with anything like
the rigor which the Tribune intimates
and when they are punished the sen
tence is SO inadequate that it loses it'
force as a punishment to the offender OIL
warning to his kind. Their crimes
should not only be made odious, they

The prospective marriage of the old
King of Holland with the young Princess
Emma Of Waldeck-P Pyrmont is severely
criticised by majority of the Dutch
journals. The commerce and industry of
the Netherlands is represented as in a
depressed condition, while the conduct of
the ruling dynasty gives but little hope
of improvement. The revenues of the
kingdom are squandered by the King at
home and the Crown Prince roaming
abroad, while no member of the Royal
family seems to regard the interests Of
the country in the least. Just that state
of feeling is being nurtured in the honest
Dutch bosom that may lead to a move
ment for dispensing with tie expensive
and heartii@2s5s pageant of Royalty at NO
distant day.

IT is said that the Hon. Alexander Ell.
Stephens, of Georgia, if he ever dies, will
die poor man. He has been so many
years resolving himself into his original
elements of earth, air, fire and water that
it is doubtful whether what remains of
him will ever take the due course of hu-
man nature any more than Elijah of old
did. Stephens for many years was in re-
ceipt of large income from his law prac-
tice, and received nearly $40, 900 from his
work on the late war. Being a man of
simple tastes and inexpensive habits he
ought, in Difference to modern usage, to
die like other men and leave nice for
tune and will to be fought over by dis
Batisfed heirs and legatees. Instead of
that he is and always has been man Of
unlimited hospitality, giving to all who
are in want, or seem to be in need, with
an open hand, SO literally as to be at
times almost indiscriminating and inju-
dicious And when he finally ETHEREAL
lies there will be no more left of him for
the Probate Judge to administer upon
Than for the undertaken to bury.

4 Strange AdyeQture,

quently lie asleep for so long a period
of time that it is a positive blessing
when something out of the ordinary
course of events happens, to awake
them out of their state Of lethargy.
Orrville had been asleep for almost
twelve years, when an event occurred
which, together with the attendant
incidents, completely aroused the
whole town.
Orrville was situated on Lake Wano-
ma, one of the most charming little
sheets Of water in our inland States.
In secluded valley, shut out, as it
were, from all the rest of the world by
the surrounding hills, with solitary
majestic mountain keeping silent vigil
over the slumbering scene, lay the
beautiful lake, and, on its margin, the
miniature town. The spot Was all that
poet might fancy, or a romantic
lover sigh for; and when there was ad-
vertised "a new summer resort, the
Orrville House at Orrvllle," with
every accommodation, &C., &C., it is
not surprising that many persons, who
had been struck by the surprising
beauty Of the place, as they caught a
flying glance of it in the whizzing
train, should respond Immediately to
the opportunity, and engage to spend
the summer or autumn months at so
charming a resort.
Among the earlier guests at the Orr
Vile House, were Charles Lacy, a
talented young barrister Of limited
means, Colonel Harris, and his niece,
Matte Harris, and Mr.. Van Haven,
a handsome young merchant OF New
York.
Charles Lacy and Matte Harris had
been playmates in their childhood
but the former had removed from
his native place in his fifteenth year,
and had never met the sweetheart OF
his boyish days until time had trans
! formed him into the full statue OF q
man. Both were now so completely
changed, that they met at Orrville as
entire strangers, and were only recog
nizable to one another by the men
ton Of their names and places Of resi-
dence. The acquaintance, thus re-
newed, ripened into ardent love, anc
Charles Lacy considered himself the
luckiest fellow on earth.
"Did you hear the news, Matte?
asked Lacy, one morning, as his be
trothed seated herself at the break
fast table by his side.
"No; what is it?''

The sanctity of the mails often leads
to the immunity of the females. The
Post-otfice Department some time since
gave the opinion that "letters should be
delivered to the persons named in the
address, or according to his or her order;
q husband can not control the correspond
cnce of his wife, nor the wife that of
the husband" A literary gentleman in
one of the interier towns of Indiana finds
this ruling of the Postmaster General in
terfering with what he regards his vested
rights. He writes the following letter to
the Postmaster General stating his griey-
ance and seeking light. If the facts
about that "other man" are as stated he
certainly has grievance that he ought
to have power to abate: "Sir-l write tn

Mr.. JAMES GORDON BENNETT again
departed for Europe yesterday. During
his short stay in this country, his name
appeared in society mention much less
frequently than heretofore. If it is true
that Mr.. Bennett finds society ON the
other side of the ocean more congenial to
his tastes, the fact is high compliment
to the social circles of New York.
