As the sun rose, the wind and the waves rose with it, and throughout a dreary day the helpless bark was driven along by :he fury of the tempest. Seeing all human skill b.nflled and con founded, Columbus endeavored to pro pitiate heaven by solemn vows and acts of penance. By his orders a number of beans, equal to the number of persons on board, were put into a cap, on one of which was cut the sign of the cross. Each of the crew made a vow that, should he draw forth tlie marked bean, he would make a pilgrimage to the shrine of Santa Maria de Guadalupe, bearing a wax taper of fiv'e pounds’ weight. The admiral -was the first to put iu his hand and the lot fell upon him. Prom that moment he considered him- felf a pilgrim, bound to perform the vow. Another lot was cast in the same way for a pilgrimage to the chapel of onr Lady of Loretto, which fell upon a seaman named Pedro do Villa, and the admiral engaged to hear the expenses of his journey. A third lot was also cast fortor a pilgrimageilgrimage to Santaanta Claralara de Moo- a p to S C de M guer, to perform a solemn mass and to watch all night in the chapel, and this The tempi ight in the chapel, likewise fell upon Columbus. The tempest still raging with nnahated violence, the admiral and all the mari ners made a vow, that if siiared, wherever they first landed they would go in pro- in barefooted and iu tlieir shirts to up prayers and thanksgivings in church (■ ■■ ■ ■ ■■ “ ■ s private vow, pilgrimage or pitiation, ej binding hi vigil or other rite of peiiitenc thanksgiving iit his favorite shrine. The he.aveiis, however, seemed deaf to their vows; the storm grew still more wild and frightful, and each man gave him self up for lost. The danger of the .ship was augmented by tlie want of ballast, the consumption of the water and pro visions having lightened her so nine tliat slie rolled and to.ssed about at tli mercy of the waves. To remedy thi.s, and to render her more steady, the ad miral ordered thiit all the empty casks should be filled with sea water, wliich in some measure gave relief. During thi.s long and awful conflict of the elements the mind of Colnmlms was a iirey to the most distressing anxiety. He feared that the Pinta had foundered in the storm. In such ease the whole history of his di.scovery, the secret of the New World, depended upon his own feeble bark, und one surge of tlie ocean might bury it forever in oblivion. The tumult of his thoughts may be judged from hi.s own letter to the sovereigns: “I could have supported this evil for tune with less grief,” said he, “liiid my alone been in jeopardy, since 1 lebtor for my life to the Supreme • and have at otlier times been 1, blit it ’ am a deb Creator a within a from on high with faith iind certainty to undertake this enterpri.se, after Iniv- ing victoriously achieved it, and when on the point of convincing my opponents and securing to your highnes.ses great glory and vast increase of dominions, it should please the Divine Majesty to defeat .all by my death. It would have been more supportable also had I not been ac companied by others who had been drawn on by my persuasions, and who, in tlieir distress, eur.sed not only the hour of tlieir coming, but tlie fear in spired by my words wliicli prevented tlieir turning back, as they bad at vari ous times determined. Above all, my grief was doubled when 1 thought of my two sons, whom I had left at school in Cordova, destitute in a strange land, without any testimony of the services rendered by their father, which, if known, might have inclined your high nesses to befriend them. And iiltliough, on the one hand, I was comforted by faith that the Deity would not permit a work of such great exaltation to his his cliurch, wrought through so many troubles and contradictions, to remain imperfect, yet, on the other hand, I re flected on my sins, as a punishment for which he might intend that I should he deprived of the glory which would re dound to me in this world.” In the midst of these gloc ment might survive to his name and advantages be secured to his sovereigns. He wrote on parchment a brief account of his voyage and discovery, and of his having taken possession of the newly found lands iu the name of their catho lic majesties. This he sealed and di rected to the king and queen, super scribing a promise of ii thousand ducats to whomsoever should deliver the packet unopened. He then wrapped it in a waxed cloth, which he placed in the cen ter of a cake of wax, and inclosing the whole in a large ban-el threw it into the sea, giving his men to suppose he was perfonning some religious vow. Lest this memorial should never reach the land, he iuolosed a copy iu a similar manner and placed it upon the poop, so that, should the caravel be swallowed up by the waves, the barrel might float off and survive. These precautions in some measure mitigated liLs anxiety, and he was still more relieved when, after heavj’ show ers, there appeared at sunset a streak of clear sky iu the west, giving hopes that the wind was about to shift to that quar ter. These hopes were confirmed; ii fa vorable breeze succeeded, hut the sea Still ran so high and tnmultuonsly that little S!iil could he carried during the On the morning of the 15th, at day break, the cry of hind was given by Rui Garcia, a mariner in the maintop. The transports of the crew at once more gaining sight of the Old World were al most equal to those experienced on first beholding the New. Tlie laud bore east- northeast, directly over the prow of the caravel, and the usual diversity of opin ion concerning it arose among the pilots. On% thought it the island of Madeira; another the rock of Cintra, near Lisbon; the most part, deceived by their ardent wishes, placed it near Spain. Columbus, sings the poet, and liis sentiment is true with one possible e.xception. If either party has the catarrh, even love's kiss loses its sweetness. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy is a sure cure for tliis repulsive and distressing affliction.

Two physi cians prescribed, but without benefit, tried Ely’s Cream Balm, and, much ■ • ■ id was cured.—O. A. Cary, C however, from his private reckonings and observations, concluded it to be one of the Azores. A nearer approach proved it to be an island; it was but five leagues distant, and the voyagers were congrat ulating themselves upon the assurance of speedily being in port when the wind veered again to the east-northeast, blow ing directly from the land, while a heavy sea kept rolling from the west. For two days they hovered in sight of the island, vainly striving to reach it, or to arrive at another island of which they caught glimpses occasionally through the mist and rack of the tempest. On the 'ening of the 17 th they approached so ;ar the first island as to cast anchor, ladad to put lined beati but, pai-ting their cable, h sea again, where they remained beating about until thee followingollowing morning,orning, when th f m whet they’ anchored under shelter of its north For several days Columbus state of agitation and been in such a st , parting the a g ^ ^ w h e re audio had been ii anxiety as scarcely to take food oi ic- pose. Although suffering greatly from a gouty affection to which he was sub ject, yet he had maintained his watchful post on deck, exposed to wintry cold, to the pelting of the storm and the drench ing surges of the sea. It was not until the night of the 17th that he got a little sleep, more from the exhaustion of na ture than from any tranquillity of mind. Such were the difficulties and perils which attended his return to Europe, had one-tenth part of them beset his outward voyage his timid and factious crew would have risen in arms against the entei-prise, and he never would have discovered the New World. CHAPTER XVIII. TKANS.VCTIONS AT THE ISL.\ND OP ST. On sending the boat to land Columbus ascertained tlie island to be St. Mary's, the mo.st soutlieni of the Azores, and a possession of the crown of Portugal. The inhabitants, when they beheld the light caravel riding at iinchor, were as tonished that it had been able to live through the gale which had raged for fifteen days with unexampled fury, but when they heard from the boat’s crew that this tempest tossed vessel brought tidings of a strange country beyond the ocean they were tilled with wonder and curiosit)’. To the inquiries about a pliice where the caravel might anchor se curely they reidied by pointing out a liarhor in the vicinity, hut prevailed on three of the mariners to remain on shore and gnitify them with further particu- lar.s of tills unparalleled voyage. In the evening three men of the island hailed the caravel, and a boat being sent for them they brought on hoard fowls, bread and various refreshments from Juan de Castaneda, governor of the island, who claimed an acquaintance ■with Colnmbns, and sent him many compliments and congratuhitions. He apologized for not coming in person, owing to the lateness of the hour and the distance of his residence, but prom ised to visit the caravel the next morn ing, bringing further refreshments and tlie three men, whom he still kept with him to satisfy his extreme curiosity re specting the voyage. As there were no houses on the neighboring shore the messengers remained on board all night. On the following morning Columbus reminded his people of their vow to per form a pious procession at the first place where they should land. On the neigh boring shore, at no great distance from the sea, was a small hermitage or chapel dedicated to the Virgin;irgin; andn< he made im- a mediate arrangements for the perform- 5 rite. The three inessengs ig to the village sent a pi e-lialf of ance of tlie rite, irninj ; admin m thehe Siame to perform t s ceremony with the remainder. An ungenerous reception, however, awaited the poor temiiest tossed mari ners on their first return to the abode of civilized men, far different from the sympathy and hospitality they had ex perienced among the savages Of the New World. Scarcely had they begun their prayers and th-anksgivings, when the rabble of the -village, horse and foot, grims, he began to fear that they were detained by the Portuguese or that the boat had been shattered upon the surf beaten rocks which bordered the island. Weighing anchor, therefore, he stood in a direction to command a view of the chapel and the adjacent shore, whence he b^eld a number of armed horsemen, who,*dismounting, entered the boat and made for the caravel. The admiral’s ancient suspicions of Portuguese hostil ity toward himself and his enterprises were immediately revived, and he or dered his men to arm themselves, but to keep out of sight, ready either to defend the vessel or surprise the boat. The latter, however, approached in a pacific manner; the governor of the island was on hoard, and coming within hail demanded assurance of personal wary dis- ‘ms now le governoi Portuguese still continued a t a wa tanee. Theindignationof Columbi broke forth; he reiiroached th e go- with his perfidy and with the wrong he did, not merely to the Spanish monarchs, but to his own sovereign, by such a dis honorable outrage. He informed him of his own rank and dignity, displayed his letters patent, sealed with the royal seal of Castile, and threatened him with the vengeance of his government. Castaneda replied in a vein of contempt and de- ipt anS king, his sovei-eign. Jter an unprofitable altercation t led to shore, leaving Coin: have broken out between Spain tugal during his absence. The next day the weather became so tempestuous that they were driven from their anchorage and obliged to stand to sea toward the Clairvoyant Exaniinalions. Clairvoyant examinations free E. F.

For two days the ship continued heating about in great peril, half of her crew being detained on shore, and the greater part of those on hoard being landsmen and Indians, al most equally useless in difficult navi gation. Fortunately, although the waves ran high, there were none of those cross seas which had recently prevailed, other wise, being so feebly manned, the cara vel could scarcely have lived through the storm. On the evening of the 22d, the weather having moderated, Columbus returned to his anchorage a t St. Mary’s. Shortly after his arrival a boat came off, bring ing two priests and a notary. After a cautions parley and an assurance of safety they came on hoard and requested a sight of the papers of Columbus, on the part of Castaneda, assuring him that it was the disposition of the governor to render him every service in his power, provided he really sailed in service of the Spanish sovereigns. Columbus supposed it a maneuver of Castaneda to cover a retreat from the hostile position he had assumed; restraining his indignation, however, and expressing his thanks for the friendly disposition of the governor, he showed his letters of commission, which satisfied the priests and the notary. On the following morning the boat and mariners were liberated. The latter, during their detention, had col lected information from the inhabitants lich elucidated the conduct of Casta- with his oivn discoveries, had sent or- iers to his commanders of islands and distant ports to seize and detain him wherever he should he met with. In compliance with these orders Castaneda had, in the first instance, hoped to sur prise Columbus in the chapel, and, fail ing in that attempt, had intended to get him iu his power by stratagem, but was deterred by finding him on his guard. Such was the first reception of the ad miral on his return to the Old World, an earnest of the crosses and troubles with which he was to he requited throughout life for one of the gi-eatest benefits that ever man conferi-ed upon his fellow beings. CHAPTER XIX. ARUIVAL AT PORTCQAI.. Columbus remained two days longer at the island of St. Mary’s endeavoring to take ill wood and ballast, but was jn-evented by the heaV3’ surf which broke upon the shore. The wind veering to the south and being dangeron.s for ve.s- sels at anchc.r off the island, hut favor able for tlie voyage to Spain, lie set sail on the 24th of February, and had ifieas- ant weather until the 27th, when, being within 12-5 leagne.s of Cape St. Vincent, he again encountered contrary gales and a boisterous sea. His fortitude was scarcely proof against these perils and delays, which axjpeared to increase the nearer he approached his lioine, and hn could not help uttering a complaint at thus being repulsed, as it were, “from the very door of the house.” He con trasted the rude storms which raged about the coasts of the Old World with the genial airs, the tranquil seas and balmy weather wliich he supposed per petually to prevail about the countries he had discovered. “ Well,” says lie, “may the sacred theologians and sage philosophers declare that the terrestrial paradise is in the uttermost extremity of the east, for it is the mo-st temperate of stormy ai night on caravel was struck b)' a squ; which rent all her siiils, and, continuing to blow with resistless violence, obliged her to scud under bare poles, threaten ing her each moment with destruction.

There was something singular in the recurrence of this circumstance. Las Casas devoutly considers it as an in timation from the Deity to the admi that these storms were all on his I for which is an instmm )f laud, ever, increased to such a degree that they doubted whether any of tliem would survive to reach a port. The whole crew made a vow, in case their lives were spared, to fast upon bread and water the following Saturday. The turbulence of the elements was still greater in the course of the following night. The sea was broken, wild and mountainous; at one moment the light car.avel was to.ssed high in the air, and the next moment seemed sinking in a j-awning abj'ss. The rain at times fell in torrents, and fne lightning flashed and thunder pealed from various parts of the heavens. In the first watch of this fearful night the seamen gave the usually welcome cry of land, hut it now only increased the general alarm. They knew not where they wei-e, nor where to look for a harbor. They dreaded being driven on shore or dashed upon rocks, and thus the very laud thej’ had so earnestlj' de sired was a terror to thejn. Taking in sail, therefore, they kept to sea as much as possible and waited anxiouslj* for the moraiug light. At daybreak on the 4th of March thej- found themselves off the rock of Cintra, but to run in for shelter. He according- Ij’ anchored, about 3 o’clock, opposite to Rastello, to t’ne great joy of the crew, who retunied thanks to God for their es cape from so many perils. The inhabitants came off from various parts of the shore, congratulating them upon what they considered a miraculous preservation. They had been watching the ve.ssel the whole morning with great (7b be Conlintied.') F a il to Bo Oiir Duty. Everybody lias at times failed to do their duty toward themselves.

The weejiing mountain ash has re ceived as much attention as any weeping tree on account of its distinct and enri- ons habit. A careful examination of its mode of growth cannot fail to excite wonder. If worked two or three feet from the ground and allowed to grow wild it soon becomes as odd a piece of framework as it is possible to imagine.

The National museum has a very large collection of scalps, and it is wonderful to think what tragic tales they would have to tell if they could only speak. One of them is a crown of real golden hair with a circle of skin attached reft from the head of a little German girl at the Mountain Meadows massacre. In spots it is stained with the victim’s blood —a pitiful reminder. Of the same party of honest pioneers may have been tha man from whose caput a shock of black and curly locks was torn; it forms a part of the exhibit.
