POCAHONTAS,

The sacrilegiOus London Standard having the
breadth of the Atlantic between it and Virginia
has the boldness to declare, what no American
would venture to whisper, that PocahOntas, so far
from being the innocent young barbarian of the
novelist, was an impish and not very well behaved
little squaw, well known in the courtyard of the
English fort at Jamestown She even scandal
lied the free-and-easy Virginian danes by becom-
ing in early life the brevet spouse of one Cook
ham, captain of volunteers, and subsequently
was married" to John ROlfe, simply as part of
the policy of that unscrupulous satrap, Governor
Argall, in order to extract favorable terms from
her willy sire, Powhatan. SO far from her having
saved Captain John Smiths life, as related by
this unfortunate adventurer, there is every reason
for believing that he was barely acquainted with
her in Virginia. and certainly never saw his sup
posed benefactress on her visit to England In
deed the story was most probably invented after
the red damsel became famous in order to give
currency to the General Historic of Virginia"
and its pennilesS author. As for Master John
ROlfe being the lOve-sick swain he is invariably
represented to be in the transporting drama it is
now ascertained that he was married man. and
therefore more rogue than fool when he committed
bgamy with the Virginia lady borne There
threatens to be no end to this cruel awakening
from the dreams of our youth

SAVED,

The wind is spent and the gale is past
And the morning sun shines forth at last;
1t shines on a strip of yellow sand,
And good ship sinking in sight of land.
Over her deck and her battered side
Lazily washes the ebbing tide;
Out of the struggle and deadly strife,
LoI nothing is saved but baby life.
A wee frail thing is the one poor waif,
wee frail thing to be sound and safe;
But all forgotten its brief alarms,
1t gaily crows in the stranger arms.
A sailor looks at the little form
'''Tis tiny craft to have stemmed the storm !"
He sighs a bit as he bends him low,
And his thoughts fly back to the long ago.
Just such babe on his young wife's breast,
With clinging fingers his own caresSed;
Just such another-but where is he?
Wrecked on the voyage of life, maybe.
Is this but spared that in years to come
1t may drift away from its heavenly home?
The baby laughs as his boy once did;
All! will it be SO? Nay; God forbid!
The sailors hand has gentle touch
For the sake of the lad he loved so much;
And soft from his lips are the words that fall:
God bless the children-God keep them all"
The National tribune., 1881-10-01
A HARBOR IN THE OPEN SEA,

Between the mouth of the Mississippi and Gal
weston, about ten Or fifteen miles to the south
west of Sabine Pass, is place in the Gulf of
Mexico which is commonly called THE Oil
Ponds by the captains of the small craft that
ply in that locality. There is no land within
fifteen miles, and yet such is the effect of the oil
thus cast upon the waters by the lavish hand of
nature that in the severest storms the sea in
the Oil Ponds is comparatively smooth, and so
well is this known that when the small vessels
that trade between Calcasieu, Orange, Sabine,
Beaumont and Galveston, fail to make a harbOr
at Galveston or Sabine they run off for the oil
wells let 90 their anchors and ride out the gale
in safety. The oil covers the water in thick
scum and apparently rises from the bed of the
gulf which, at that point is not more than fifteen
or eighteen feet below the surface.

Bickerstatf, a playwright as seldom read as he
is often quoted is author of the prudent admO-
milton that Enough is as good feast" and
of the indisputable assertion that Gone cannot
have ones cake and eat it too" From Homes
Douglas comes the famous speech, MY name is
Norvaln familiar to the readers of Enfield's once
celebrated but now forgotten Speaker; and in
the same play is found the consolatory assurance
that ''Virtue is its own reward" "The mighty

at was not a crime" Noel replied, Struggling
his shoulders; simple accident Of the chase, that
was all-such, at least, was the verdict of the
coroner's jury. Raymond who was Immediately
accused, brought witnesses to prove at the time
of the accident he was in town, whittier he had
carried load of hay. 1t was afterwards recalled
to mind that two young men, strangers to the
rest, had precipitately withdrawn, after scarcely
an hours hunting. They were seen later looking
somewhat anxious and troubled. Some advanced
the opinion that it was not improbable that
owing to the high rushes and the heavy fog of
the morning, the involuntary author of the crime
had gone his way, happily unconscious of the
occurrence"
"And you? What is your opinion, Master
Noel?" said I.
"It is my opinion, monsieur, that the sun is
sinking; therefore high time that we return
home."-,Sdn Francisco Argonam.
