THE MAID OF ROCK CREEK; pe Or, Seraph’ and Rudolphus. was evening upon the banks of beautiful Rock Creek. The pao beams of Luna, which straggled down though revealed a scene of Upon ap ancient stum; tempests of an hundred winters, sitting in an at- titude of graceful repose, was an angelliferous maaden just bloomed out into sunny womanhood. she was radiantly and peerlessly beautiful— ‘Webster hides his inglorious head in the dust in the vain attempt to furnish words descriptive of her loveliness. Graceful as a duck, wild as a hawk, pensive as a setting hen, with her rich eurls of tow-colored gold streaming over her shoulders to the ground. like some bright swamp angel she sat, while the moonbeams rested likes halo upon her elegant head. Sor- row, and the mullen stalks which grew up around her, cast deep shadows over her unrival- ed countenance, and the night-wind, as it ed her magnificent cheek, bore to her delighted olfaetories the fragrant breath of elder blows. Her knitting work lay idle in her lap. Her eyes. which shamed the lightening bugs, were bedvozied with diamond tears. She was listen- | ing with an air of sorrowful distraction to the passionate organ 7 of a noble youth who nelt at her feet. Never moonlight fell ona more glorious intellectible countenance than that upturned to the maiden’s enamored gaze. | Never yielded mother earth to finer form than that which pressed the dandelion back at Sera- phina’s feet. His features were such as Nebu- chadnezzar or Appollo might have envied. His | dark pierving eyes were like the waters of his own Rock Creek for depth and clearness, and were brilliant mirrors in which the truth and } voracity of his god-like soul were reflected. | From his brow of vast and ponderous propor- | tions, the sympathizing breeze swept back long, hyacinthine locks, whose hue in the shade was a deep raven blackness, but when the light fell upon it, it resembled a muddy pool when the sunbeams strike it aslant. His hands were | clasped in an attitude of despair. He spoke, | and his tones were deep and mournful, as the | | the branches of the trees, transcendental beauty. which had braved the chant at the funeral of a martyred bull-frog at Rock Creek dam. “0, fairy queen of Heaven! Pure dove of the moonshiny sky! Translucent | light of my benighted eyes! Cherished and. beloved by my heart's core! How canst thou doubt my love? Dost thou doubt that the cab- bage loves the genial rain? Dost thou doubt that the chieken loves the dough-fish? Then doubt my love for thee. Ah! love is but a fee- ble word to express the passion that consumes wy vitals. Be mine adorable ‘ one, else I die.’ “Rudolphus,”’ she murmured, “it eannot The mandate of my vengeful father, and the decree of fate must obeyed.”’ And her voice was melodious as the tinkle of fractured cow bells far away down the Little Falls road, and low and sad as the last moan of a dying pol ynor- “Talk not of obedience, thou beautiful and cruel one,” he yelled in a voice of speechless agony. 0. canst thou sit in thy cold majesty, like a frozen sausage, and see my aching heart geing to smash before thine eyes for a mistaken | sense of duty.”’ “See,” said he, as his voice died away toa sad wail, like the howl of a broken-backed inastiff, and he dashed from the mullen leaves near him a drop of pearly dew. “See! Night Lerself weeps with me. and mourns thecruelty The maiden was appalled at the sight of his anguish. The crimson tide which dyed her ebeek like a red holly-hock, cut stick and left it whiter than a cotton pillow-case. She arose from her seat, dazzling in her resplendent beau- ty as a bright tin milk-pan when the midday beams of glorious sun are poured full upon it, and captivating in her shadowy grace a yel- low lily, floating upon the limpid waters of a dry goose-pond. She spoke, and the stars of | nigh: stood still, the wind ceased to moan ainong the leaves. and the frogs were silent to listen. | « Rudolphus, beloved of my soul,”’ she said in @ voice sweeter than the syrup of New Orleans, “thou knowest that I love thee. My heart clings te thee as the bean to the pole. Mine ear knows no music save thy voice, and my lips no | victuals but thy kisses. Without thee I famish; | I die. But the picket fence of duty surrounds me. It is stuck full of cruel spikes, and I can- not surmount it. A last embrace, my heavenly one, and we part forever.” “Bid me not depart,” he roared, as heclasp- | ed her to his breast, “I will zerer leave thee. | Forty-leven savage locomotives have not power | to tear us from each other’sarms. I tell thee, | mine angel love, the thought of leaving thee rends my soul—it maddens me, it makes me rip and rave like a frenzied Shanghai—it makes me bellow like a distracted bed bug—2t makes me teel bad. In my desperation I would tear up creation by the roots! I would flog the earth- | quake‘ 1 wosld eat red-hot pokers! I would | drink up the ocean, and then cast myself into | the black aud surging billows which roll at my feet" Serapbina burst into a flood of tears. Their excessive emotion overcome them, and they both swooned away. * * * * * * * i Again it was evening upon Rock Creck—again the cold moon locked diewn upon a scene of ex- | eruciating woe. In a dark, dismal, damp, gloomy, ghostly castle, built of the unhewed mouarehs of the forest, upon a pile of hay lay | the angelic Seraphina, the victim of a father’s tyranny. Her linsey woolsey robes were torn and dis- arranged, her lovely face soiled smutty, her sil- very curls disheveled, ber cornban eyes as red as cranberries, and swelled with weeping; but for all this she looked more beautiful than ever. By ber side stood a flagon of acidulated but- termilk. and a platter of flapjacks. ‘- No, no,”’ she faintly muttered, pushing the food away, “let them not seek to prolong my misery by offering ine tempting viands.. I will never eat more. Never." Just then a low dvleful sound was borne to her ear. She started. *‘ Was it thon, Rudol- phu-’" she cried. “ Ab no, I will not flatter inyeelf with vain hopes. "Twas but the calf bleating to its mother." And she sank down exhausted upon the straw again, tocourt death. Again was the sound repeated. She sprang to her feet. and peeped out through a chink in | the logs. It was indeed her lover—looking up | with wistful eyes to her dungeon window, while manly tears streaked it down his cheeks. ‘ 0, save me, Rudolphus,”” she screeched. “I would smash down those massive pine doors.’ he answered, “ with one blow of my talwart fist, and snatch thee from the cruel captors. but I am afraid thy father’s darned oxen will hoole me.”” And he sank upon the ground in the impotence of his rage and despair, | and biding his face in the burdock leaves, be | howled aloud. id So saying, the heroic gir “ Weep not, m will come to thee descended to the stable, and while the and mosquitoes thundered about her fair f tearing up with her tiny hands an oaken plank from the floor, she soon emerged in the cow yard In an instant the lovers were clasped in each other's arms.

There was nursed amid the fire and smoke of the French Revolution, and kindled by Car- lyle, a mighty revolution in literature. ‘A eu- rious ai Startling wail of “work! work! work !”’ was wafted into London drawing rooms and boudoirs, and a nobler singer than Hood had divinely sung “A man’s a man for a’ that."” Many a fervid prayer had followed the unfortunate to the “ a of Sighs,” and down the dark and rushing stream. The bright dawn of a new era was visible amid the dull clouds of the literary heavens. A small but illustrious band of writers had begun to battle nobly in the cause of humanity. At this period a young man was working away on the columns of a London daily print. he engraving of a young artist were beginning to attract the London gaze, and the reporter— Mr. Charles Dickens—was waited upon and re- juested to furnish “ something monthly,” a sketch of some kind, to illustrate the engray- e friends of Mr. Dick- friends—urged him not to raw the proposition if he wished to come to anything ; but he was self-willed, and the first ofthe “ Pickwick Papers’’ appeared over the modest signature of *- Boz.”’ retty soon the engravings became mere subsidiaries to the sketches and ‘“‘Boz’’ became the topic of the metropolis. From this time the career of Dick- ens was upward and onward. His literary cf- forts have been numerous, and his labors un- ceasing. At the present day he is the nidst universally read and adinired of living authors. His fame is world-wide and will endure. There are some persons (we pity them) who are blind to the wonderful skill and beauty of Dickens’ writings. They call him snobbish and patronizing—a god, seated high above common mortals, and parcelling out lessons of life—a scoffer at religion—a dangerous fue to morality. Dickens has found pale faces, and lacerated backs, and thin lips in boarding schools—and a sleek Chadband, and a monstrous “ Cireumlo- cution Office."’ He has detected men and women in gin shops and loathsome alleys, and has heard the beating of truer hearts under rags than un- der silks and satins. With marvellous acute- ness he has torn away the masks of society, a revealed its hidden inconsistencies and iniqui- ties. And all the do-the-boys have trembled, and Barnacles grown pale. And shall any one say that he has ever de- serted a high standard of right! We all know a Chadband and a Micawber, and may have a kindred spirit to the Child-Wife lingering in memory. Although his characters may a little exa; ; rated and distorted, they are always ie. But it is the blessed spirit of humanity, run- ning like a golden thread through all his wri- tings, which has endeared ‘Boz’? to so man thousand hearts. ings of the artist. Th ens—he had advisi GRADES IN THE SEVENTH Warv.—The follow- ing communication of Mr. Coyle to the Mayor, will be of interest to a large number of our read- ers: City or WasHineton, Feb. 23, 1957. Sir: I have had the honor to receive from you during the past week two communications, the oue enclosing a resolution of the Board of Com- mon Council concerning the grades of Sixth and Seventh streets west. from Maryland avenue to the river, and the other calling my attention toa reso- lution adopted some time in September last. re- questing me to communicate to the Corporation my proposed grades for the whole of the Seventh Ward. and selecting me that some important im- provements were delayed for want of those pro- Trades. To remedy, as far as [ can, any that may be existing, I submit s two sheets, which are m studies of grades for that part of the Seventh Ward which is west of Four-and-a-half street. I would gladly have made copies of them but that every day is filled up with other duties. I must. therefore, request you to have them copied and returned to ine. ‘This explanation will make them intelligible: The minute figures along the middle of the streets show the level above tide of y rough originals of the actual surface of the ground ; the red figures | at the corners show the old (King’s) roposed grade height ; the blue figures Mt Pepe secee the grade height'as proposed by me; and where there are only red figures at the corners I Prepee that ps My — remain unchanged. These sheets will give all the information now in my power to give concerni: grades. I have not yet studied to any complete result the portion of the Ward between Four- and-a-half street and James’ Creek Several of the streets embraced in these sheets have been heretofore reported upon by me sepa- rately in answer to resolutions of the Corporation In some cases, as I have learned casually from newspapers or from conversation with individ- uals directly interested. the Corporation has adopted my recommendations and in other cases has cogdemned them. Among the condemned is the plan of graduation, here again presented, of Water street. If the ject wer Ny and disinterestedly consid I believe the Coun- cils would approve my proposed plan for that street, and for these reasons: The front line (the river side line of Water street) must inevitably be advanced an ave-age distance of at least fifty feet further into the river than is laid down upon the inap of the river front and wharves a Win. Elliot, sr, and approved by President @. Adams. That will be a line of wall, and should be in water not less thau four feet deep at low tide, whereas much of it, as determined by the map alluded to, will be where at low tide there is not a depth of two iret. ‘This necessary increased width will allow an increased height on the land side of the street without causiag an inconvenient steepness across the streets. Again, the increased height on the land side of Water street, as pres by me, is necessary to dimin- ish the steepness of the xtreets ascending from the river, to diminish the immense surplus of ex- cavation in those streets, to afford cellarage to whatever warehouses may be built fronting on Water street, and to render possible the constri tion of a sewer along the line of Water street to intercept the main sewers from above. If ever we are to have a good channel and an active trade along our Potomac front—and it will be our own tault if we have not it will be neces- sary to keep the sewerage out of the docks. A tide of three feet will not scour it out, but will stir it up just enough to make it pestilential. “It Must be intercepted by a great sewer running along the entice river front, and discharging into some one reservoir below, where the necessary mechanical means for its removal can be constant- ly inaction. The city canal must be shut out fom the river by tide :ocks, which will protect the lower parts of the city from inundation, will secure a constant high tide in the canal, and will enable us to give to the great intercepting sewer pay river front a descent equal to the differ- ence between high and low tide, and to seour it at every ebb tide ‘These were the considerations which governed me in — the elevation of the land side of Water street. [ have had no opportunity of knowing what considerations led to the rejection of = lan. With great respect. your obed’t servant, Raspouen Cove Dr. W. B. Macruper, Mayor. the Seventh Ward Save tHe Bones.—A substantial farmer, re- siding in the north-eastern part of Lancastsr county—one of that class whose success in farm- ing has been a mystery to many of his less suc- cessful neighbors—informs the editor of the Lew- isburg Chronicle that, teu years since, he gave no- | tice at the different stores in the vicinity that he | would pay a fair price for bones. The intelligence soon spread among the boys, and the result was, that In the course of a month several tons of ex- cellent bones were ready. ‘These he pulverized by means of a rather primitive crusher, and ap lied them to a portiow of Lis farm, on which light chestuut timber, and little else, had been grown, at the rate of ten’ hundred to. the acre. Now for ‘That portion of the farm to which the bones had been applied has been in cultivation ever since, and although throagh that long inter- val, no other manure was put on, he has had ex- cellent crops every season. A crop of fifty-five bushels of oats to the acre has been taken from it, and the yield of corn on it the past season was 15 bushels per acre.
