Give me the freedom of the skies, The latitude of Heaven’s range, Hope’s fairest, brightest destinies, Relief from serfdom, and the change And splendid growth that comes with time, Oh, give me these! break bolt and bar, And I shall make a fame sublime And spotless as a shining star. Give me the liberty from creeds That bind the soul’s divine desires, Making us slaves to selfish deeds, Destroying all the fervent fires Of faith and love that burn within. Give me such liberty, and I Will walk no more the path of sin, Unless the angels sin on high. Emancipate me from a land, Where vassals bow to Gold and Greed; Constrain me with no tyrant’s hand, But let my spirit quickly speed To realms where Freedom with her key Unlocks each palace gate and door; Give me such scope, such liberty, *Tis all Task, and nothing more. Howarp C, TRIPP. ———____—~.>- -e <> BETWEEN TWO HORNS. “IT tell you, Susan Swing,’’ said Captain Rose, ‘‘there ain’t a man that lives be- tween the Two Horns as would let his boy not bigger than your’n go out ina boat to-day. Don’t youdoit. ‘Taint no kind of weather for that slip of a lad to go foolin’ with them big billows assweeps around old Dull Head. Why, look your- self, woman. You can see them more’n four miles away dashing and lashing the shore.”’ As Captain Rose spoke he pointed with his right hand in the direction of one of the two headlands between which Dell Haven lay. ‘**And no dory in the harber,’’ he con- tinued, ‘‘could weather Bright Head (pointing toward the headland at the left) not if Cap’n Hezekiah himself was a row’n’ of it. You’d better take them row-locks out and hide the oarsif he won’t mind without you doin’ it.’’ ‘I can’t bear todo it,’’ said Mrs. Swing, Richard will be so disappointed. He set his lobster pots yesterday, and he hasn’t slept any all night in his eagerness to go out and haul them. Don’t you see, Captain Rose, it’s Saturday, and two whole coaches full of the summer board- ers came last night to the Bright Head House, and he can get a big price for his lobsters to-day. My poor Dick has worked so hard making the lobster pots himself, and it seems like cutting off the boy’s reward to say ‘you shan’t go’ to him.” *S’pose you do feel weakish ’bout it, Susan; but you don’t want that ’ere boat picked up adrift, and no boy init, do ye?”’ ‘““You know I don’t Captain Rose,’’ she said. ‘If I hadn’t loved him do you think Vd get up before daylight to come down here to see the lad off?’’ *‘Hush,’”’? said the Capgain. comes, and he’s fastening to his buttons. He sees enough ahead.”’ It was a morning in June, and the sun was not yet risen, but the glory of his coming was in the east and on the sea. As he came down the pier, the oars on his shoulder, and securing his straw hat by a string to his jacket, the old Captain said: ‘‘He’s a fine lad, Dick is, and well worth the savin’.’’ ‘‘He’s all the world to me,’’ thought Mrs. Swing, although her lips uttered no word. “Good morning, out Richard. think?’’ ‘Better for lobsters than ’tis for boys,’’ ejaculated the Captain, removing his broad, brown hands from his pockets and laying one of them on the boy’s shoulder as soon as the latter came within touch- ing distance. ‘I say, Dick Swing, that you are not goin’ out in that cockle shell of your’n this morning,’ he announced. “IT certainly am, Captain Rose,’’ re- turned the boy. ‘‘It’s alittle rough, but like as notthe wind will come right around before I get haif-way to the ledge, and I should think you would know bet- ‘*Here he his straw hat there is wind Captain Rose,’’ called *‘Good for lobsters, do you ter than to scare my little mother here half to death. See, mother,’’ he said gayly, ‘I have an extra oar and one thole- pin, yes, two of them, in case a row-lock gives way, and [ve gota lot of extra eourage about me that I can’t exactly show you unless you come with me.”’ This he said looking out to sea, for he did not feel like looking either at his mother or Captain Rose. “Dick,’’ said Mrs. Swing, approaching the pier’s edge as the owner of the little boat proceeded to bestow his lunch-bas- ket and extras under the bow. **Well, mother,’’? returned looking up. “T wish you would not go,’’ her tones full of beseeching. “Why, mother? Do you want my seven new lobster pots to be carried off to sea?’”? he asked. How could you have the heart to ask me? If this wind keeps on blowing I shall lose them every one.’’ “That’s true,’’ ejaculated Captain Rose. “T never thought of that. It’s just right, this wind is, to drag them off, but you never can haul them in alone. You’ll be sure to be dragged overboard.’ “No, I shan’t. Come along with me if you want to help,’’ laughed Richard. ‘“Humph! I should sink that craft be- fore we got outof harbor,’’ said the Captain; ‘‘though if I wasn’t so heavy, I would go.’? Captain Rose weighed a trifle less than three hundred pounds, and had left the sea after fifty years of faithful service. Not another person was in sight. ‘VTll tell you what Pll do,’ said the Captain. ‘If you insist on going, Ill stop on my way up and ask Captain Dan- forth to look out for you, and if he thinks you’re getting into trouble, to sail after you.’’ “Thank you, Captain.’’ “‘Dick,’’ ‘said his mother, ‘‘can’t you let the lobster pots go?’’ *“*Can’t possibly,’? smiled the boy. “Could you have the heart to ask me? Will you cast me off, mother?’’ he called a second fater. ‘““Wait a minute,’’? exclaimed Mrs. Swing. ‘‘Fetch your boat close up. I want to speak to you, Dick.’’ tichard, she said, The boat received the necessary im- petus, and touched the side of the pier. Mrs. Swing had seated herself on the top- most layer of logs forming the wharf, and leaned over as though to speak con- fidentially to her son. ‘-Dick,’”’ said his mother, ‘‘hold fast! Tm coming,’’ and into the boat she dropped before either Captain Rose on the dock or Captain Richard in the boat had knowledge of her intention. ‘What under the sun, mother, the boy, ‘‘do you mean?”’’ “Vm going with you_Dick, to keep you from tumbling overboard when you haul in,’ and she seated herself in the stern, ealling back as the tide floated the boat out, **‘We depend on you, Captain Rose, to send after us if we—if it gets too rough,’’ she gasped, with a dash of spray in her face. ‘‘Ay, ay!’ cried the Captain, and he took off his hat and swung it, he scarcely knew why. Of all the women in Dell Haven, from the eldest to the youngest, Mrs. Swing most feared the sea. To live beside it, to watch its every mood delighted her, but to venture on it for pleasure she was never known to do. A moment’s peace she never knew when Richard, her only son, was exposed to the treachery of the waters, but rather than mar his wild delight in wind and waves, this unselfish mother concealed as much as possible her anxiety for him. tichard was not selfish, and had he imagined what his mother was at that moment suffering would have put the boat aboutand tied it forever at the stake rather than cause her this agony. Just as the boat got well into the toil of the waves the sun arose shedding such brilliance on the water that Mrs. Swing, who sat facing it, was dazzled and well nigh failed to see in time a gill net into which the boat was running. ‘See any boat ahead, mother?’’ tioned Richard. ‘‘You must keep a good lookout forme. Ive got my ranges right and can fetch the lobster grounds every time.’’ FS rt | fare shudderingly. “Not very; just outside Dull Head. I reckon we'll fetch it,’’ said the lad, dip- ping his oars fora full stroke and then letting the boat slide up to the summit of a rolling wave, a trick he had caught from Captain Hezekiah Danforth, the master boatman of Dell Haven. *? eried ques- 93) questioned his mother, The wind grew stronger and stronger and the waves every moment increased in size. Even Richard glanced sideways more than once with ill-concealed anxiety as the long billows came tumbling on, and just then getting a glimpse of his mother’s face beheld it so blanched with terror of the sea that it seemed to him his mother was no longer in the boat with him. ‘“Dick,’’ she gasped, as his oar missed stroke and set the spray over the boat, ‘Dick, Pm afraid to go on.’’ Dick glanced backward. Hehad pulled about a mile from shore and was midway between the two headlands familiarly spoken of as the Horns. Dull Head was surrounded by an ever increasing mass of breakers, and Bright Head caught the sea on its precipitous sides, sending it backward in fountains of foam, and all the four mites that lay between the two points were rolling miles of billows. Sitting with his face landward, Richard had not fully felt the danger. Now the lad could not repress a shud- der as he said: ‘I don’t believe I could find the buoys in such a sea. and nobody could haul in the pots. I believe ’U put about.’’ “
