DAISY AND I.
Our Daisy lay down
In her litlle nightgown.
And k i so I tno again and again,
On forehead and cheek,
On lips that would speak,
But found themselves shut to their gain.
Then, foolish, absurd,
To utter a word,
I asked her the question an eld
That wile and that lovor
Ask over anil ovr.
As if they were surer when told.
There jlnso at lior side,
''Do you love me?" 1 cried;
She lifted her gol.ln-crowiicd head;
A puzzled surprise
Shone in her gray eyes
"Why, that's why I kiss you." she said.
ONLY JONES.
A S(ory ol
an ruprctenlioiiN
Hero.
The officers of her Mijesty's Twenty
fouith and EightyJburth Infantry were
silling round their mess tabic in Castle
town, the capital uf the Islo of Man one
evening more than thirty years ago
that is, all of them except one ; but then
that one wag only Jones. Nobody
minded Jones j even his peculiarities
had begun to bean old subject fur "chair
ing," and indeed, he hud pnid such
small attention to their challiing that
they had come to find it little pleasure,
and after some necks of discomfort,
Lieut. Jones had been allowed to chouse
his own pleasures without much inter
ference. These were not ixlruviigmt
a favorite book, a long walk in all kinds
of weather, and a sad when the weather
was favorable. Ha would not drii k--
be said it hurt bis health ; he would not
shoot-n-he said it hurt his feelings; he
would not gamble he said it hurt his
conscience: and he did not care to flirt.
or visit the belles of tho capital he
said it hurt his affections. ()nee Captain
de J5.eus? lispingly wondered whether it

J ones ca . nly answered that "it was nut
porsible lor Uuptnin tie Ueusz to do so.
Indeed, Joacs constantly violated all
these gentlemen's ideas of proper be
haviour, but fur some reason or other they
never brought hiui to account for it. It
was easier to shrug their shoulders and
call I Jin "queer," or say "it was only
Joins," or evei to quietly assert his
cowardice.
One evening Col. Underwood was
discussing a hunting parly for the next
day. Jones walked into the roein, and
was immediately accosted :
Something new, Lieutenant. 1 fl id

and we mean to give puss a run to-mor
row. I havo heard that you ure a good
rider. Will you j in us?"
"You must excu-e me, Colonel ; such
a thing is neither iu my way ot duty or
inv pleasures."
you forget the honor the Colonel
does you, Jones," said young Ensign
Powell.
"i thank the Colonel for his courtesy.

will not like ;t; ami I om not a good

it."
"You need not be afraid," said tl3
Colonel, mib. r sneeiiuglv ; "the country
is quite open, and these low Many walls
are easily taxeu."
"Rvrntn nip. Pitlnnpl T am nfriiid
If I (ihould be burl ij would cause njy
mother and sisters very great alarm aim
anxiety. I am very n.uch afraid of do
ing this."
U hat was to be done with a man s
obstinate regarding conventionalities,
and who bo'diy assejled his towarJice?
Ihe Colonel turned away half contemp
tuously, and J'Josigu J'owe'.l took J.mcs'
place.
). lie morning proved to be a very bad
one. with the prospects of a risinc storm.
and as the party gathered in the bar
racks yard, Jones s;id earnestly to his
jColonel :
I am afraid, sir, you will meet with
a severe storm."
''I think so. Lieutenant j but we pro
mised to dine at Gwyne Hill, and wc
chad get H at far at any rate."
So ihcy rode rather gloomily away in
the rain, Jote- attended to the military
duties assigned to him. and then about
I noon, timlk-iid Rpn:ird. It was loird work
by this time to keep his fooling on the
quay, but amid the blinding spray and

they were gathered on the summit of a

How far are we above water?"
"This lock goes down like a wall
forty fiithons sir."
"Wlai depth or witer at the foot?"
Fifty fathoms."
'Good Have you plenty of light,
long rope?"
Much a you want sir, but let mo tell
you sir, you can't live ten mintitis down
there I ta first wave will throw you on
ta rocks and dash you ta pieces, l'lenly
us would put you down, Mr, but you
can't swim if you get down."
"Ho you know old man, what surf,
swimming is? I have dived through the
surf at Nukuhcva."
"(iod blcsi you sir I thought no white
man could do thai same."
While this conversation was going on
Jones wus divesting himself of all super
fluous clothin;, and cutting out the
sleeves of his heavy pea-j icket with his
pocket knife. This done he pasted
Some lig lit strong mpe through them.
The men watched him with great in
terest and seeing their inquisitive looks,
he said :
" The thick sleeves prevent the ropo
cutting my body you see."
"Ay, ay, I see now what you, are do
ing." ''Now men I have only on request :
Give cue plenty of rope ns fast as I
draw on yep. When I get on board
you know how to make a cradle I sup
pose?'' ''Ay, ay, sir but how aie you going
to reach the water?"
''I am going to plunge down. I have
dived from the umin prd of the Ajax
before this. It was a higher leap."
lie passed a doualc coil around his
wuist, examined it thoroughly (q see
that there was plenty to start with
and Say inn, "Now friend", stand out of
thu way and let me have a clear stait,"
raised his bare head one moment to
wards heaven, and taking a short run
leaped as from the spring-board of a
plunge bath.
Such an anxious crowd as followed
that leap. Ureat numbers in spite of
that dangerous wind. Jay fl it on their
breasts und watched him. Ild struck
the water ut least twenty-five feet from
the cliff and disapporcd iu its dark foamy
depths.
When he rose to the surface he saw
just before bim a gigantic wave, but he
had time to brealhe and belorc it
reached him dived below its centre. It
broke in passionate fury upon the rocks,
but Jones rose far beyond it, A mighty
cheer Iroin tho men on the shore
reached him, and now he began in good
earnest to put Ins I'oCiljc experiences
into practices.
Drawing cotitumMy on the men for
more rope which they paid out with
deafening chisers he met wave after
wave, really advancing however, more
below water th in above it.
suddenly the despairing men on
board he aid a clear, hopeful voice:
' Help at hand. (. iplaiu. ihrow me
buoy "
And in another minute or two Janes
was on the deck, and the cheers on th
little steamer were echoed by the cheers
of the crowd on land. There was not a
moment to be lost; she was breaking
up fast; but it took but a few moments
to fasten a strong cable to the small
rope, and then a second cable and the
Communication was complete.
'I here is a lady here sir," said she
Captain. "We must rig up a chair for
her, she can never Walk that dangerous
road."
"lint we have not a moment to waste,
or we may all be lost; is she very
heavy."
"A sligh', thing half a child sir."
''ISfing her here."
This was no time for ceremony, with
out u word, save a few sentences of di
rection und enc )Ut ajenent, he took her
under his loft strut, and steadying him
sef by i he upper cable, walked ou the
lower wiih his burden safely to the
shore. Toe crew rudidly followed for
in such moments of exiie nity the soul
masters the b dy and all things become
possible. Thire was plenty of help
wailing for the seamen, and the ladv
'her lather and the Ciptain were put
in the cartinge of U. addon, and driven
rapidly to the hospital hall.
Jones, amid tho confusion, disap
ncarcd : he had picked up an oil-skin
coat, and when every one turned t
their deliverer he was gone. 30 one
knew him ; the sailors said Ihey be
lieved him to bo "one of the military
gents by his rigging," but tho individ
uahty ol the hero had troubled no one
until the danger was over. In an hour
the steamer was driven on the rocks
and went to pieces aud it being by this
time quite dark, every oue went
home.
the next day tho hunting par.ly r
turned from Gwynne Hall, the stoim
having .compelled them to stop all night
and at the dinner that evening ll;e wreck
and the hero of it wero the theme of
everyone s conversation.

"Oil, Jones would be too afraid oi hi
mother."
Jones made a litlle satirical bow and
said pleasantly, perhaps it was Powel
at which Powell laughed, and said "uot
it be knew it.
In a week the event had been pretty
well exhausted ; especially as there was
to be a great dinner and ball at Jirad
don, and all tbe officers had invitations
C, SATURDAY,
The ball had a peculiar interest; for tho
young lady who had been saved from
the wreck would be present and rumors
of her riches and beauty had been rife
for scvernl days. It was said the h tie
itcaruer was her futhei's private yacht.
and that he was a man of lunk and in
fluence. Jones said he would not go to diuutr,
either he or 5 iviHe must remain for
evening drill, and that Savillo loyed a
good dinner while ha cared very Utile
bout it. iSaville could return in lime
let him ride over about ten o'clock
and see tho dancing. Sivillo rather
wondered why Jones did not take his
acc all the evening, and felt half in-
jured at his default. lit Jones had a
curiosity about tho oil 1 he bad saved.
o tell the truth, he was nearer in love
ith her than he had ever been null
any woman, and be wished pi calm
ood, to see if she was as beautiful ns
his fancy had painted her during those
w awful moments that be bad held bur
gh above the waves.
riiie was exceedingly lovely, j 1st the
fresh innocent girl he had known she
would be. He watched her dancing
ith his brother officers, or talking to
her father, or leaning on Hraddon's arm.
and rvery time he saw her site ( toked
fairer and sweeter. Yet he had not the
courage to ask for ao introduction, ami
in the busy ball room no one seemed to
member that ho needed one. He
ept his post against the conservatory
ior quite undisturbed for some time.
rcsently he saw 'Squire Uraddon with
the beauty on hi arm approaching him.
As they passed the squire remembered
be had not been to dinner, and stopped
to say a few courteous work aud intror
duccd his companion.
"Miss (jonyers Lieutenant Jones."
?ut no sooner did Miss (Jonyers hear
leutetmnt Jones' voice than she gave
j lyful cry and clapping her hands to
gelher, said ;
'I have found him I J'apal papal I
have found him I" -
Never was there such an inlerruption
to a ball. The company gathered in
excited groups ; and papa knew the
Lieutenant's voice, and the C iptain
new it and poor Jones, uuwjlin
enough had to acknowledge tho ucuJ
and be made a hero of.
It was wonderful, after this night,
hat a change took place in Jones's
quel ways. 1 1 is books and boat
seemed to have lost their charm, and
for his walks they were all in one di
rection, and ended at Hniljon Hall.
In about a month Mies Conyers went
away, and then Jones began to hunt the
postman, and to get pretty little litters
which always seemed to take a great
nl ol answering.
JSefori' the end of the winter he had
en invitation to t'onvers to spend a
month, and furlough being grante l. he
started off- in great glee for Kent.
Jones never returned to the Highty-
foHrth. The month's furlough was in-
fi.iitely lengthened in I'uet he sold
out, and entered upon a dip! imalic
career under the care of Sir 'fliomag Con.-
yers.
Ivghteen months after the wreck,
'oliinel Underwood read aloud a des
cription nt the marriage ol I nomas
f, of Mdlord Haven, to Mary only
child and heiress of Sir Thomas C uiycrs
of Couyers Castle, Ivmt. And a para
gr iph be'ow stated that the "Honora

Sorae lime ngo two robins mated and
built a nest iu one of tho trees io a

departed. The robins then built another
nest, and in due course of time a brood

the gentleman passed through the yard

women folks of the house said they'
were not fighting ; but, on the c intrary,
the mocking-bird was feeding the robins,

was then inquired into, and it was found
to be just as the women folks bad re

Mrs. L. 0 G
Dear Madam If iving lately rcr
solved to look something into the "Cary
.state,'' in hi igland, I wrte to my cor
respondent there inquiring i ito its pres
ent condition. At the samo time I wrote
to my cousin, Mrs. If. L. S a sister uf
Mrs. ( ol. Thornton, ut Memphis, re
questing she would give, me the address
of as many of t!)o heiis as sho could.
Among others she gavo mo your address,
and to her I am indebted for a knowl
edge that you are of the dry stock.
Having resided w6st uf tho Mississippi
since my twentieth year, know little
tsu ol (he family than I knew in my
boyhood. I havo seen but ono gentle
man of the name of Cary, who is of the
llunsdon stock. I know one ancestor
(unless you trace directly from u Cary)
Had a daughter who married my uiicei
tor, Thomas Smith, one who married
Judge Marshall, one a ljarris in, and
one Ambler. The family register in
my possession traces tbe Smith fa oily
to John S nith, of Shooter's Hill, who
married M iry Jaqueline daughter of
r, I .vara .I.iqoeliu, and granddaughter ol
v ary L inl Huns Ion 1 hence we
trace our heirship. I desire to learn if
you trace yours from the same source or
from a Cary? lyUard Jaqucliti must
have been n person of note, to have
recommended him In so exalted a fam
ily as Ihe C.irys. To-day I have wrj'.ten
lo J.iqiieliii Smith, proposing a conven
lion of thu family at Nashville, Tenn.
October Ist,lS7H, to produce genealogirs

our heirship, in order to collect the
money now due from the British Gov
eminent. I iiudeistind that several in
dividual nave put themselves I) some
pains to inn aire into tho state uf the
lund, bill I a n satisfied tint nothing but
concentrated action will avail; nnl it is
high time steps wero taken to recover
Ihe fund, which would bo u handsome
legacy lo all the claim mis, though their
names be legion, from my estimate
at three per cent, annum, the principal
and interest nmounts to over one
thousand five hundred millions of dol
lars. The Iviglish High Court of
Chancery liss decreed that this Iu id
rightfully belongs lo the Virginia rela
tions, and il is a burning shame
they do nut make an tffirt to get
possession ut tho luuds. No applica
tion has been made yet to the Hritish
Government, and till then it js a private
affair between the Irtish Government
tnd the claimants. If the fact is id' so
great u notoriety in K igland us to have
passed a court of chancery ; C i--s id'
course, found a place in tte h.iglish
chancery reports, and a search in the
Jaw books would disclose the fact. 1
have written to my correspondent call
ing his attention to it, and will write to
Hon J P. Bjnj iniin. You shall learn
the result of my inquiries. I find the
Knglish very courteous in responding to

There would be less complaint and
hearts better satisfied il character were
more eaijj'uily studied. To me it is a sight
nio't deplorable t yoli: e so many persons
in lite revolving in fpheres uuMiited lo
them; were Ihey in lliei- proper orbits they
would shine us stars of thu first magnitude.
Ah, hungry heart, seek lor proper lood and
y ' il will ho at rest and ease. Do you re
quire money to 8'itisly its cravings ? Do
cultivate a contented spirit. Are you
starving (or kind words and tenderness? try
to posses them il not Iroin one source
there may he sonic other. A i o von craving
for intellecttnl lood i lint C iii be had by a
yery liltie i II irt, as every inquiring mind
is willing to give as well as receive.
There i no necesity lor so many hun
gry hearts it persons would adapt them-
dves more to the taste and lomfort ol
others. One ol a refined nature cannot he
happpy witli the co.rs'j and rude. One
peison can observe u thousand beauties in
a tree, while another Ins only the faculty
ol beholding tils tiec ; one ideality, the
other practical. Such natures cannot as
similate, und nccess .nly the hearts must
hunger. The characteristics of some na
tuns me kindness, thought lulness ami

our, a thouglit in n iiiinon and you might
as well expect a "leopard lo change his
