Oh! could'’st thon see before thine eyes,
The ill which in thy heart there lies,—
What woe and hatred, wrath and strife,

Fill up thy most unenvied lity,—

Thou ne'er would tread the slunderer's path,
Or hold thy deeply rooted wrath,

Ob! could’st thon see that youthful wife
Pass sadly through this w fe
For thou lust caused her ¢
‘Vo quit this li MISERY j
Thy words hath ed the ernel dart

Which picrced the loving husbauds heart,

Ol! contd’st thou see the futherless,

With no kind friend their lives to bless,
Sojourning through this world ot woe,
Disdained und shunned where'er they yo:
Thy reckless words hath uude them poor,
While they must sorrow's pang endure,

Ifow many have been forced to roam,

Far from their cherished friends and home;
Becuuse hy words unheeded pust,

And o'er their lives u shadow cast ;
Repentance cometh now tov lite,

They mourn because of fiendish hate.

In yonder churchyard thon miay'st see.
The resting place of those by thee
Brought thither ; tile by side they lay
Waiting the trump of Judyinent Day ;
Thou then must tace the Jude severe,
And his most righteous anger bear.

Dost kpend upon thy brother now,
And thou must say ‘Thou doest well"
While thou endur'st the slunderers hell

And recklessly thy hands bebrue

Be still compelled to bear the pain
Which thou dost thoughtlessly intlict,
Whilst thou can not the end depict.

DID SHE DIE? —

A Mysterious Story.

“Ten o'clock !” said the doctor, glanc-
ing at his watch, IT shall not be inter-
rupted again to-night, and may amuse
myself’ a little.”

And with a grim smile, this man, whose
business was healing, and whose amuse
ment was destruction, locked the door of
his study, and took from a private drawer
“the manuseript of the great work upon |
the Art of Poisoning,” which w when
finished, to make his name forever famous.
A knock interrupted him = With an im-
patient gesture he unlocked the door, and
presented a forbidding face in opening the
door.

«A lady to see you, sir,” said the ser-
vant.

“Tan sce no one to-night, unless one of
my expected patients, — It is alter tom
**Ttold the lady, sir, She bade me
give you this notice it you objected.”

The paper contained only these words:

“ Doctor Desmond will not refuse to see,
for five minutes, a person whose errand is life
or death.”

“Tem! Life and death are not such
very anusunl occurrences,” muttered Doec-
tor Desmond, tossing the note into the
grate; and. tarni to the servant, he
ndded brielly, **Show the lady in, Wil-
tixm.”

*"Amoment Jater sho appeard-—a tall,
stately woman, richly dressed and com-
pletely veiled,

The seryant handed hera chair, and,
withdrew. ‘The doctor bowed profoundly,
seated himself, and waited.

“Doctor Desmond, [ presume ?”—and
she spoke with « foreign accent.

** Yes, madame.”

Lwish to consult you upon a very
serious matter, sir. It is entirely conli-
dential.”

“Tt is unnecessary to mention the fact,
madame.”

‘I presume so, but—excuse me, sir.
In two words, doctor, you have the re-
putation of knowing more of poisons than
wy other living man.”

For the first time Doctor Desmond's
grave face lost its look of annoyance, and
he exclaimed with some interest, ** it is of
poison you wish to speak 2”

Yes. I suspect that Ihave swallowed
some ll substance, not at once, but
in minute doses, just beginning to make
themselves felt, Ihave come to you lor
information, and for an antidote.”

* Betore we talk ot antidotes, we must
discover the poison, if your suspicious are
correct. Every poison has an antidote of
its own, as every vice is counterpart of
an especial virtue. Raise your veil, if you
. aud draw of your gloves.”

s lady, without reply, threw back
her heavy veil, and showed a small. black
silk mask covering the middle of her fave,
but leaving exposed a charming chin, and
two lips that an anchorite would long to
kiss.

Dr. Desmond, who had arisen to ap-
proach hig patient, sat down again

“{t appears, madame, that although
you. thought fit to respect Ale gall
you do not intend to contide iff it,” said he,
in displeasure,

Pardon me, sir. But it is very possi-
ble that you and Tmay meet again, per
haps in society, perhaps in public. tis
tar better that you should be unable to re-
cognize me—better for us both.”

“ Madame, in the seraglios of the East,
when a Frankish physician is summoned

g

the life ot his unfortunate slave by the
blind attempt.”
“But faa not an ignorant slave, ane

itis L who take the responsibility in thi

to prescribe for the favorite of a priuce or}
noble, and discovers that be is not to be} hour.”
trusted with a sight of his pationt, it heis |
an honest man, he withdraws at once from | wo are within ten rodsof my house, Come |
the case, conscious that he ean do nothing | jy and look at the subject, and L think you |
and anwilling to riek bis reputdtion and) wy] agree with ime that this is & rare op-

than reveal myself; but Ido not wish to
die, and I believe that you can save me.
Will you try?”

*How can I!” bluntly inquired the
physician, rising. and standing belore his
patient with his hands in his pocket. and
his brilliant eyes glaring beneath his shag-
gy brows with unconcealed impatience,

‘You may ask me whatever questions
you wish, and [ will answer them honest-
ly. You may see my hand, my tongue;
you may put your fingers upon my temples,
throbbing constantly with intest heat.
Will this not suflice ?”

T undertake the case, but it is upon your
own respousibilily, remember.”

“Twill bear it. What first?”

« Your hand,”

The masked woman drew off her glove
withouta word, and extended to the ductor
a little band which he carefully examined.
It was white, soft, and smooth as marble,
with thin, arching nuils, red as rose-
leaves, and tapering fingers. Tn the cen-
tre of the palin was a spot the size of a
crown-piece, which burned like living fire.
The tips of the fingers were humid and
cold, Across the back of the hand extend-
edated stripe like the wale of a sharp
blow.

Upon this the doctor placed his finger,
and brictly inquired, ** Natural or acciden-
tale!

“ Neither,
case !”

Doctor Desmond tnrned on the gas
further, and looked again,

“You are right” said he, cooly. ‘The
mark is pricked into the flesh, and not
connected with the present state of the
system. Now tell me .

And here began a rigid catechism,
which the worthy doctor took no pains
to render easy or free from embarrass
ment. He had evidently determined
that this women, who would not show};

known was evidently no bashful girl. or |;
ignorant prude.

unlocking a cabinet at the further end of |
the room, carefully measured into a phial |;
filty drops of'a bright golden liquid. With | ¢
this in his hand, he approached the patient |,
who lay iu the deep chair with her head ||
upon the back as if exhausted.
** Madame,” said doctor
**your suspicious are correct.

You have |

tity of deadly Mastern drag, hardly known | s

cologieal studies have made me acquaint |(

In that
motive for

concealment, and shoud be
willing to sacrifice your incognito in the
interests of science.”

* Doctor Desmond, you are somewhat t
brutal in your suggestions,” remarked the
patient, rising, and drawing on her gloves.
«Madame, you mistake. Lam prules-
sional only,” said the doctor, ringing his
bell. As the
added, *! William, show this lady to her
carriage. Madame, I wish youa very
good evening.”

« Good evening, sir,” and the lady
passed out, leaving upon the table an I
envelope containing a bank note for a|'
hundred pounds, !
The doctor glanced at the amount, rais-
ed his eyebrows in astonishment, and then
muttered philosophically, ** Well, the
elixir which I presented to her is cheap
even at that price.” U
Then, with a sigh of relief, he turned |
onee more to the ringing-table, and seated
himself to the werk upon toxicology,

«A word with you, doctor.”

‘Ah, Vaynal, is it you? I did not see

you before.”

«No, [sat at the other end of the table,

among the lesser lights.”

The speaker was a young man whose

star, just rising above the horizon of the

scientilic world, already attracted the ¢

and hopes of the thoughtful seers, w

prophesied all sorts of marvels from its

influence.

Desmond, too great to be jealous, was

alrendy fond of his young rival, and putting

n band under bis arm, said laughingly:

+ Well, you want to steal a dirgnosis or a

scription from me?”

«Not at all. On the oontrary, I wish to

offer you a share in a rare opportunily,”

replied Vaynal, in the same toue

* Magnanimous fellow. Well??

© Wait until we are out of this crowd,

“Of course. Everything worth know-

as to invite me. ‘Lhe surgeons say all
sav of Hatiering things about you, Vuy-
ual.

“Indeed! they are too good. Tere we
are; shut the front door, please; Lhave a
private entrance.”

And the young man, taking a key from
his pocket, unlocked and threw open a
small door in the wing of the building,
through which he led his companion,
“Stand stilla moment, until I light the
gas. The room is crowded.”

The flare of match followed the words,
and shewed a small chamber filled with
specimens, books, casts, instruments, and
all the horrible impediments of a surgical
retreat,

“This way,” said Doctor Vayral, un-
locking the door ot an inner room, aud
lighting cne or two powerful burners sus-
pended above a long“narrow table.

Upon this table lay something covered
with a white linen cloth; something notso
long as the marble table, nor nearly so
wide, and yet conforming in its general
outline to the table; or, perhaps, more
nearly resembling a new-mnade grave cov-
ered with snow; for it was long and nar-
row, cold and ri,id—so rigid, indeed, that
the linen cloth fell in sharp lines and an-
gles about it, and suggested the idea of

THE ALABAMA OLAIM3 IN THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS,

POSTPONEMENT OF TILE DISCUSSION

REMARKS OF THE LONDON TIMES,

Tn the House of Commons on Thorsday
night last, (as we learn by telegram) Mr.
Hadstone, alter ecknowledgiug the cour-

gird to
he Alabammn claims, said that in again
tppearing to put it off he felt it his duty
oullege sume reasons for his acton, as it
vould amount to a definite postponement
of the question for this year, Ile ussured
he Llouse that it was the opinion of the
zovernment that it would best promote
he interests involved in this great question
ry abstaining from ashing the Mouse to
fiscuss it at the present moment. It had
rliament to abstain
ussing questions while under
Although it could hardly be
aid that the cliims were now under ne-

rom disc

gociation, and it might be considered that

he rejection of the couvention by the Sen-
te of the United States brought them to a
lefinite point, sul he had reason to be-
ieve that the Government of the United

nstthe otheras men train} States did not regard the question as deti-

itely dropped on that account. On the
ontrary, they considered it better thal an
iterval should occyr, on avecouat of the
tate of public opinion in America, before
egociations were resumed,

Under these cireumstances, ITer Majes-
y's Government were ied to concur
1 the views of the American Government.
fe pointed vut that the question had not
een discussed in either branch of tho
slature. Ilaving regard to
1ese circunistanees. the Government was
nxious that nothing should occur to im-
ede the resumption of negociations.
‘herefore he requested the postponement
fthe motion on paper for to-morrow,

Sir Henry Bulwer replied that he felt it
nis duty to acceed to Mr. Gladstone's re-
juest, but did so with great reluctance.
{ve thought discussion would de no harm,
ut rather strengthen the policy of the
jovernment, Ile felt convinced that it
he relations of Great Britain and the

)

United States were allowed to continue in

heir present state, both countries would
hive reason to repent. He did not attach
much importance to Mr. Sumner’s speech
to the rejection of the treaty, but felt
he importance of the fact that the exag-
rerated pretensions brought forward wero
jot abandoned but merely suspended, and
night be brought forward at any time,
vhen it would be equilly dishonorable not
o grant, and disastrous to refuse them.
{ the feeling of the Ilouse was against the
notion, he would not bring it forward,
in conclusion he threw the whole re-

he sponsibility upon the Government,

REMARKS OF THE TIMES,

“The Zines regards the postponemenr
of the debate on the Alabania elaims with
satistaction, ‘Their introduction at the
present moment would serve no good pur-
pose, ‘Lhe general sense of uneasiness
with respect to the subject on both sides
necessitates an interval of a considerable
period belore it is resumed, ‘Lhe debate
could only be uselul if Parliamgnt disap-
proved of the conduct ot the Ministry, or
wished to instruct it in regard to future

negociations — But there is no dissitis-
faction. The only charge against Lord

Stauley and Clarendon is that they were
too yielding, but the Commons were not
likely to advise a Withdrawal of the con-
cessions made, nor were they prepared to
lay down a plan tor future negociations,
and anticipations of such results from tho
discussion were mostinpradent. Another
plea for deciining the discussion is due to
a regard for the national dignity, which
forbids our approaching the American
Government on these questions, VPubliv
opinion is unanimous on this point, ‘The
late Treaty was V irtually American, for it
was niade, altered, aud realtered by Se-
ward aud Julinson, Jt was rejected as
much through party antipathes as from
any discontent withits provisious. It was
foredoomed, and whatever its’ provisions
might have been, in all hikelittood it would
have met the same file, Bogland is ready
to listen to any proposals trom America,
but to display w desire to receive them
tavorably would tend lo inerease not de-
crease the demands. When Mr, Motley
considers the tveling of America is suei
that a treaty consistent with the honor ot
England wil satisty America, he may ad-
dress the Government tor a renewal ot
