AN OLD STORY.


A mother sat through sunsets golden hours
Holding wreath of faded orange flowers,
And, signing, said: 1T was but yesterday
A lovely babe within these fond arms lay;
] watched its dimplcd smiles, its laughing eyes,
With love half joy, and half glad surprise,
TIL, all unheeded, passing Time fleet,
Stole my fair babe and left maiden sweet
''For my sweet babe shed not one sad tear,
breathe no sigh, this maiden was 50 dear;
But day by day watched new charms unfold
Till scarce its weight of joy my heart could hold.
For twenty years How like pleasant dream
Those years of tenderness and watching seem,
But now, from all my love she turns away,
For fond heart Known scarce summers day"
The father came. He paused beside her chair;
He kissed her cheek, caressed her shining hair,
Then, like wooer, bent and whispered low,
"Sweetheart, pray thee do not sorrow so.
Dost thou remember one bright afternoon
When woods and fields were all aglow with June
We wandered forth down by the rivers SIZE
We two, forgetting all the world beside?
Forgetting time, till in the darkening stream
We saw the first pale light of evening gleAm2
And while we watched them meath our trysting
tree
Hast thou forgot at my fond words to thee
That when those lights that burAed on high so
far
Looked on the Charles and saw no answering star
Then should my love cease to be wholly thinner
That thou dids't leave thy mothers heart for

"round and round" and go Payne
sank. Brave Lille at once took COM
mand, and ordered Hsrriston to let her
paddle her own canoe, showed it TO the
spot where Payne was sinking for the third
time, and called to him as he went down,
"Hold up your hands" Payne's hands were
thus above water when his head went under,
and the intrepid girl seized them, aud with
Harriston's help drew him into the boat.
Meantime Mr.. Andrew Ingles had seen the
alarming accident, jumped into canoe and
arrived just in time TO save the horse from
drowning. All honor to brave Lille Bry-
ant, the heroine of New river. Mr.. Payne,
in his gratitude, desires to educate and sup
port the child, but Lille is a romping girl,
whe delights in fshing-rod and canoe
more than in dolls and dresses, and is un-
willing, it is said, to exchange the wild free
dom of her mountain life for the confine-
ment of boarding school.

TOURISTS IN DANGER.
Four Days without Food In the snow
and Ice of the RaxaIpe.

New York, May 1.-THE Wof Rs Vienna
correspondent writes: 1.-THE deplorable ac-
count gave you in my last of TIN ee tourists
lost in the SNOW and Ice of the Ra1alpe, on
Easter Sunday, has had pleasant 1Teate-a
last act, which, from tragedy, has turned
the piece into comedy. On Thur sday morn
ing the two brothers, with their charge, the
young girl, returned to the inn on i.he noun
tain, after having wandered about in the fog
and mist the snow and ice, during four whole
days, after having spent their nj ghts in a
poor hut, which, besides the shelter it af-
forded them, contained nothing but old, damp
straw and saucepan. One OF the brothers
had two tallow candles with hum, and
these, with melted snow and SIN all bits OF
straw, constituted the dinners and s=uppers of
the three tourists on Monday, Tues day and
Wednesday. l do not know if Mr.. Tanners
feat of starving without dying could be ac-
complished by more Americans than one, but
do know that no Austrian will ever be able
TO starve for nearly so long a time. The
three famished tourists on their return home
could speak of nothing but the paHgs of
hunger. The desolation, the bitter cold, toe
certainty that they were facing death-aH
was as nothing compared to their hunger.
Once the girl fell into trance from weakness ,
and exhaustion, and in her delirium she
such a long fastp She was eating in her |
DREAM The three had made their minds up
to shoot themselves with the revolver one OF |
the young men had brought with him, on the
very morning when the weather cleared and
they found their way to the inn. This des-
perate hunger must in some measure be
ascribed to the kind of food used here. The |
Viennese eat more veal than beef, and are
great consumers of coffee, bread and
cakes. Probably this kind OF nourishment
does not sufficiently prepare the body
for along fast. Had the mist and fog pre-
vailed only one day longer it is certain that |
those three young people would never have |
returned, as they would have lost conscious |
ness from hunger. 1t is a great shame that, !
bad as the weather was, nothing was under |
taken to rescue them. The way over which |
that poor girl passed in ice and snow, strong
men surely might have trod in quest of her; |
but they all turned back when the snow-storm |
blew in their faces, declaring that it was an
impossibility to advance any further, and |
that there was no hope of rescuing the lost |
ones alive. This strange adventure should |
certainly teach that it is never too late to !
make an effort TO save a fellow-creature."

Liberty of the Pre- - In Germany.

The difference between the French and the
German Interpretation Of 'liberty OF the
press" is certainly very remarkable. Two
days ago we noticed an article in the IatTansi-
gsafh in which the political death of NJ.
Gambetta was foretold by means of parody

Christ Tais article was not merely noticed
but Transcribed in ertenso by Berlin paper,
the Deusches MOntdg 6Iatt, aud for SO trans
cribing it the editor OF that journal has been
condemned TO a fortnight's imprisonment
His offence is technically described as "a
libel upon an institution of the Christian
Church" words having been put into the
mouth of NJ. Gambetta which are used by
the priest in celebrating the holy sacrament.
The punishment, of course, is inflicted not
for irreligion, but for the insult offered to the
feelings of large number Of German citi-
zens; but the fact that any Judicial notice
should be taken of such a matter i charsc.
teristic of the times in Germany.
