I tliink most people eoniiled nie n very quiet girl, nrifleil lilce ii .iea sliell intoa coruer of tlie gre.it -ivorlil. Tlm tiilea passed over my liead ; there was ship¬ wreck and disaster; there v;a3 sailing out of argosies ; there was dancing and lunsiu nmoiia the voyagers; but no¬ thing surged me up out of my sea- swept niehe. roor Klizabeth Grey ! I aaid aloud, will the lido ever reach you? All this se.i-talk, I Ihink, grew outof tho littlo p.nk dre.^s I was sewing cn that morning. Ko.sj' Fox was going to Europe, and liiis was oue of a dozen or two liny dresses I had mado for lier. Going to Europe.' Kosy—a little prat¬ tling thing tliat didn't yet know oue street from another iu her native city. What would she do in Europe—what would Europe do for her? But for me the very thought seemed like a glimpse of Heaven—a sweet, forbidden glimpse; for what had I lo do with change, or pleasure, or excitement'? A seamstress, orderly, exemplary— an orphan who had decently buried her mother, and who creditably sup¬ ported her little brother at school- such was mj' brief outward record. This morning a strange restlessness beset me; an unaccountable yearning, like a wooing whiff of ocean air, beck¬ oned me away. Why sbouid I stay and vegetate in one spot forevet ? Could I not earn my living elsewhere as well as here 7 Did not folks use needles in Kamtchatka and in New Zealand? Could I not take my sewing to another market? The thought stood on the verge ofmy mind, hovering, timorous, unreal, its wing poised for flight. I bad no money. Tho vision vanished, and in the gray after-light my path looked dustier, darker, more straitened than ever. But this was not to be fl day like other days. It stands apart In my memory now, illuminating that whole year, as I have seen a clump of cardv nal flowera illumine a whole gray meadovr. A knock came at the open door of my room, and it was flung back sharp anl suddenly. Very few visitors ever climbed to my little third story apart¬ ment ; seldom any one but testy Ma¬ dame Padwelle, for whom I worked. This could not be the Madame'a foot¬ fall, so heavy and brisk. I looked up, and there stood Captain David, my mother's old friend. A tall, big-boned,grizzled man,quick, decided, and full of vigor as a Is orlbern pine, with a flavor of old-time quaint- ness about him—a thrifty, well-to-do man, whose ship had carried freight Into almost every port en the globe,hut chiefly to the West Indies. I had not seen the captnin since I was a little girl, but I kuew his face and figure instantly. The lall hat he wore when in landsman's rig, the red banda¬ na he flourished, were things of memo¬ ry. Many an odd sea-shell ho had . brought mc, aud many a dainty from far-otr .'ands had shown hia remem¬ brance of my moiher. His sharp gray eye was full of kindly humanity : I remembered that eye, and how it had atood to me iu childhood for illimitable geographical knowledge, glimpses of polar seas, and fathomless waters, and all the uuspeakable mysteries of the unknown world. '* Well, ray little girl, how's all the folks?" aaid the captain, taking off Ills steeple-crowned hat as he entered. The familiar voice, the hearty grasp of his muscular haud, took me back to my girlhood again ; for an instant it aeemed aa if my mother were living, and all the welgbt of caro and loneli¬ ness were lifted frora my shoulders.— Only an instant. The tears gathered In my eyes, and I aaid, abruptly : " There are no folks, captain." The captain's countenance fell. He seemed inwardly to reprovehlmself for hij hasty pleasantry, recollecting that this was the time for conventional so¬ lemnity. Sealing himself with ginger¬ ly CBreon one of my slim-legged chairs, he wiped his forehead with his red ban¬ dana. " I know, I kuow," he said, uneasily. "I mean—how's Jim?" with a hasty clutch at the name, as if lo aave him¬ self from further mishap. " Oh," s»id I, cheerfully, anxious to put falm at hia ease, " Jim's doing fa¬ mously. He'll take the prize in lan¬ guages at liis school next year." "And you are working yourself to death to stuflT the lad wilh Greek and i-aU n ?" I fell to laughing. "No, captain, not exactly. Bnt Jim's too smart and too good to be kept in the city, and I have to be away ao much of the time sewing." , ."Yoa look Uke it," said the captain, gmflly. "What do you live on? Shirts at sixpence apiece?" "BTo, indeed!" I cried, indignantly. " I aew on pretty thinga—robes and dreaaea; see thia!" and I held upBosy's pretty pink dresal It glowed fn the sanshine, its flounces and friUinga . trembling about like a superabundant ....growthof petals. .; The captain eyed It approvingly.— '• Pretty enongh," he said. " It's got all your color in it, my little girl." It was long since-1 had beard any one express kindly intereatin me, and the words thrilled me with a strange feeling, intense, exquisite, allied to pain. • You ought to have a change of air," aald the captain, seeing I made uo anawer. The pretty dress seemed freighted with the visions I had had while mak¬ ing it. Bosy glimpses out of the mat- ter-of-couiae drudgery, the dingy and ashen hue of my habitual life, opened out of its folds. " Captain," said I, abruptly, as I laid It carefully away, " how much does It cost to go the West Indies ?" "By steam?" "No; inyour ship." . " Oh," said the captaiu, " I'm not fliled np for passengers. A tiglit little craft enough, but only to carry freight. Why? Know any one going?" I ara. Caplain, let mo bo freight. Slow me awny iu the hatch or any where, only let me go! See, I have thirty dollars lo pay my passage;" aud I held up my purse. "Jim's quarter's all paid too!" "The money's au iiume,:se tempta¬ tion," said the cnptniu, eying the slim purso liumorously —- " immense. I miglit lay byou it aflcroneor twomore voyages." Ami, coi.t«iu, you knoir I'ven cou¬ sin out thero sorae^vllel'e—au engineer or soinclbing ou a plantation." "Ay, that way blow.i llie wind, does it? Well, well, my child, I'll think ubout it. It might do you uo harm, .ind, as you say, you might m'.irry the engineer wheu you fiud liim." "Kow, captaiu, you kuow I never said that!" "No? AVell, Itpuls a bit of color into yuur checks, Lisbelb, aud that's a good thiug lo see, however it comes. I'll thiuk about it, child. It's poor Iravelliug iua freight vessel, butmauy's the trip the wife aud I took together wheu sho was living." Long ogo tbe caplain had lost bis youne wife, ayoai- or two after their marriage. I had uever seeu her; but the captain's faithlul remembrance of her was pleasant She was a sort of saintly recollection toliiiii, brightening and sweetening liia rude life, aud keep¬ ing her uichc iu his heart forever. Thrco daya passed. I waited, I sewed, I pricked uiy fiugei's perhaps a liltle more than usual; I looked out of the windiiw jiossibly a liiiie oftener. Kludaine Padwelle scolded me, JMa- dame Padwelle coaxed lue, and finally, in a hufl", madaiiie paid lUc uj) and left, severely intiniaiing lliat she would be glad to employ nn; ugaiu when I " felt liko work." Then came tlie captaiu. " Well ?" queried I; " Well," answered he, "you'll fiud it closo quarters and a pretty hot voyage; but there's the deck room." Deck room! It was just the one thing I wanted-aud then I knew that the captain had cousented. I shall not tell you much about that voyage. It stands yet in my mind in the same relation as a dream—vague, without sharpness of outline, with no separation of periods of time; oue big, bountiful remembrance of a season of infinite rest, wbeu, adrift between air and oceau, I seemed wiihout bodily entity ;" for the things that had marked my identity hitherto had been, hut were no longer. I was uot seasick. A strange, vision- like seasation wrapped me about, a faintness as of a spirit coming nearly to life in a new world, having left the old incumbrance of the flesh, with the old cares, far away on tho far-away ahore. There was nolbiug to do—that is, uothing for me lo do—no living to get, no exertion to get. I seemed an atom in the great sea of sky and water ; the great Good was taking care of me, and the great ocean clasping me in ils infi¬ nite arms of peace. I was treated liko a lady—a raro and delicious thing to ono inured to hard usage aud to earniug her bread in a big bustling city. When the intense heat made me ill, and the rosy-cheeked mate's wife, wlio had been my compa¬ nion hitherto, succumbed to it aI.so, tbe captain took care of me himself. .Some¬ times he carried me in his strong arms up to the hammock swinging on deck ; sometimes he brought me Willi his owu brawny, kiudly hand my bowl of wa¬ ter-gruel. At odd limes, when nothing el.se called bim, he furbished up his rusty stock of schooling, and read me some queer old sea-story, resurrected from thedepthsof hisbigwooden che-sl. Bough, brown aud burly, the sailors were all my frlenda they touciied theii caps to me; lhey pointed out the dol- phina and porpoises, and scared me with tbe prospect of whales or imagi¬ nary sharka. Their dark faces aud sturdy forms made a solid background lo my dream-laud, nnd gave it a pic¬ turesque toucli of reality. But by-and-by all this came to an end. Out of tbe dream-land voyage we sailed into dreamland itself. Oue morning I went up on deck and, beheld! the very gates of paradise seemed open to mo. The vessel lay anchored in a lovely harbor. Sapphire-blue shone the waler, edged where it touciied the b-iach with a lino of lace-like foam. Beyond roso hill above hill, crowued wilh glowing foliage and arciied by the azuro aky. At the foot of these bills clu.stered a group of lon.<?,low,flat-roofed buildiugs, unlike any I had ever seen. They seemed to have groivn out of the same soil that nourished the cocoa and the palm waving above tbem. Intense color, vivid. Jewel-like, shone every¬ where about me. I rubbed my eyes. My last glimpse of land had been the gray and busy shores of New York. Had I, indeed, passed out of my dim and cobwebbed life into tho "glory that should he revealed." A strange, melodious jargon greeted my eara ; a musical " caraiuho !" hissed between the teeth. Tbia could hardly be the nccentof seraph. Lookiug down, I saw a fleet of gayly painted boats, from which a throng of red, half-naked islanders climbed like monkeys up the sides of the ahip. They gesticulated, tbey chattered, they hurried agile about the ahip, chattering their delicious Spanish—a mellifluous cornucopia of vowels without ancles, without abarp- neas-the living expression of the strange scene upon which I bad fallen. "PortoBico!" aaid Captain David, as he passed busily on hia way. But busy as the caplain was, he had not forgotten me. Before nightfall a snug little "casa," owned bya kindly bipanish woman, received me. A quiet place a liltle way beyond the busy town ; while floors, vast rooms open lo the roof, with here and there in wide perspective a chair, a table, a flower- wreathed niche for the Virgin. Buch was my new home. Though apart from tha town, it was not isolated. Past ils windows, whose jalousies only veiled, but did not bide, the outer world, drifted dally the char¬ acteristic sights of a tropic. Overladen mules and sleepy Spanish ponies, bear' ing panniers of fruit—oranges, banan¬ as, mammee-apples,. and I know not what of ahining and nameless things —moved leisurely down lo the quay bestrode by sullen slaves, tbeir dark faces set ofl' by now and then a scarlet vest or a great overBhadowlnjt,"8om- brero';" or ai lazyT iiaWhliked'native' loitered by wilh a picturesque load of dried plantain leaves for thatching his mouuiaiu hut, whereho ]i%'ed free, in¬ dependent, aud, iu bis expressive phrase, ''solemnly poor." Jly landlady, the Seuora Marie, was a great, motherly, kind-hearted wo¬ man, a widow wilh a brood of olive- skiuncd, wild-eyed liltle ones lo look after, i'or them she was very ambi¬ tious; for their sakes she made the dainty "pales "ofguava aud cocoa-nut, whieh her slave Lizzie tock down lo market, poising them ou her bead afler the aucient fashion, which is the only fashion of thiugs in the Porto Bico; for their aakes abe rented the pieasaut rooms in her ensa to whomso¬ ever the lides and winda brought her from sea; and for their sakes, no doubt, had sho been an American woman, abe would have set lierself to aclive indus¬ try nnd labored " diligently with her hands." Aa it was, she cared for them and 2>launed fur them after her own aort, aud loved them hugely. She listeucd iTelighte'd while they ehiBlprod niuud iijc.cnaitciiDg their dainty liuRo, wondering over luy light locks, my foreign dresa, and coaxing me with a winning witcliery to talk to them in Euglish. Sometimes lhe captain dropped in upon us; he was takiug iu cargo. Great hogsheads of sugar must have been a load ou his mind, but he found room for me also. Sometimes he took me oul before sunrise for a stroll ou the hills. Sometimes wo rode on horse¬ back tosome distaut sugar plantation, or we visited some oleander-hid haci¬ enda whose owner he knew. I waa gelling along famously, he said; the seuora had told him ali with her flugcra, eyes aud tongue how she liked rae, how golden my bair was, aud how I got on with the children. Would I like to live iu Porto Kico ? Oil, I liked ituiispeakably! Thered soil, the hills, the straggling roads, the cocoa-trees, the far sugar-cane plauta- tious, Willi their tall chimneys looming agaiust lhe sky ; it waa all beautiful- even tbis lazy life that lived itself with¬ out eflort, and scHinc'd lu put to shame the busy undignified sciituible we had called exi&tenue. " I love it all, captain!" I exclaimed. " Weli," said tlie caplain, laughing, "we must huut up our engineer und see what can be doue about it." But Seuora Marie had a uew idea. "Tbo little senorita is happy here; doubtless some of lier people long ago were Spauiah, eh ? She tella rae she is not rich—money no mucho, eh? Let ber slay .with mo in my casa; I will givo her plenty mucho lo eat and to wear; I will take her to ray friends They have haciendas, plantations" plenty slaves. She shall (each the children and be happj'. Eh, what say you, seuor captain?" Seuor ciiptain said nothing fur some time. He wined his forehead v/ith his red bandana; he looked over ut me with a searching glance; he knit his brows. Fiually he rose in his abrupt fashiou. "She might do worse," he said, and betook liiuiself to his ship. • The bot day grew hotter and hotter ; it flamed to a close ; it died wilh gor¬ geous burning behind the hills; tho sudden blackne.s.s of tropic night came ou ; but he did nut come agaiu. I lay awake luug thatuigbt listeuing to the wash of the surf pu lhe distant shore, and hear the lonely cry of the watchman cilling out the hour in the solitary atreets of the town. How strange it would be to grow familiar with all these things, and live in thia atrange land forever. I aaid nothiug. to Seuora Marie ahout her proposition. People in theso Is¬ lands are In no such haate fora deei- aiou. Perhaps I s'aould gratefully ac¬ cept it ut last. Perhaps I had miscal¬ culated tiie captain's kiudueas-it might not pay him lo carry me back. And what did I waut to go back to? To the struggle for bread again ? To lho nar¬ row room uuder the roof—to the nar¬ row life cf peuur.y ? Here I was rich, or might be;-eveu the poorest here had his plautaiu hut aud his patch of ba- ueua. Yet something in me ached at the thought that tho good ahip with its tidy cabin, its kindly captain and crew, would go cut from me, sailing tbrougii the mists of the great ocean, aud leave me drifted among the palms and cocons, a worthless, unmissed thing, not wortii taking home I tried to be sensible, to look the mat¬ ter iu the face, and to rejoice that fate had provided for rae so unexpectedly. And when day afler day passed I began to think that the captain had regarded the thing as final, nnd after his sailor fashiou had departed without eveu an adieu. I had sei u him conclude a bar¬ gain in just auch brief manner. Eestless and weary with along night of wakefuhu'sp, I rose early and set out for the shore. Early Ibough it was, however, none of our household being astir, I fouud llie tropic world awake before me; along the road to the har¬ bor wagon after wagon, laden wilh su¬ gar hogsheads and drawn bf rough, savage-look iug bulls or unkerapt oxen, were pnseins on their way lothe wharf. Etiquette in llic West Indies does not allow a lady to be seen abroad unat¬ tended, so, hasiily clambering up the hillside bordering tho roail, I sought a narrow, sheltered path I knew of, which, crawling amoug the scraggy bushe.", kept its diflieult v/ay to the river. Weary with my exertions,I sat down a momeut to rest. Just here, at the turn of tbe path, an opening through wood and riaing hill gave glimp.°e of the ocean, with here and there Ihefaint tracing uf most und sail, as frora the outer world an oecaaioual ship sought barbor. As I aat tliere, leaning my head on my hand, I brlieve I felt the flrat touch of homeaickncsa I had ever known. Al least ray little room at home was shaded and quiet; at least its xioverty and nakedness were not displayed on the roadside. Here was I witii my I dream all ended, even in tho midet of I my dreaming. Above me palm and tamarind feathered tho sky, the jewel- shine of tropic leaf and llower, splendor, color everywhere, and I alone gray, aolitary and cold. Absorbed in thought, I knew not how long I sat A quick slep startled me. It was not a native step ; no na¬ tive sets his foot down as if it were of the slightest importance when he lifted it again. Tbere was meaning and energy in this footfall, and I hasti¬ ly rose to face the Intruder. It was my gray, sturdy, faithful captain. "Well, my liltle girl!" cried the bearty familiar voice; "how's this? Out hero alone this time o'day ? The women folks will all be down upon you for breaking rules."' " I—I thought you had sailed," was my reply, as I burst into tears lu spite of myself.. Wbereat.the captain burnt iuto that honest, fi'lendly, laugh of ofbis, 'which; seemed so thoroughly' to set aside' trouble and diflicaUy, Bbeiiding them' like so many cobwebs. " Well, well 1" he aaid ; " well, well, well!" Which waa his sole comment. Taking my haud uuder his arm, he drew me away from the path, up to¬ ward the level of the hill, where a lit¬ tle breeze stirred slumbrously, and a aolitary lake, shut in with foli¬ age of bamboo and clambering vine, colored the air. "Beat here a bit, and wipe your eyes," said the captain, spreading his red handkerchief on the ground for me to sit ou. "I am on my way to Se¬ uora Marie's lo breakfast, but there's no hurry. Neither she nor all her lazy slaves can get it ready before twelve o'clock, you kuow." He looked at his watch wilh a seaman's exactitude, and silting down beside me, opened his great umbrella over my head to shut out thesun. I felteheltered and comforted. " So you thought I had sailed, Lia- belh?"lie aaid. "You must have a high opinion of your poorold captain's good manners!" The teata welled to my eyea again. I could not answer. _ "Tut, tut!" sam my companion; cheerilj". "You must not be ao down¬ hearted, Lisbeth, when Mrs. Marie has taken so kindly to you. But you'll get on betler when the ship's fairly out of sight. You'll feel more settled." " If you were here," I broke forlh. "Oh, what do you want of me? You'll be with theyoung senors and seuoritas, aud all the rest of it. They will treat you like a princess. I'm no company for auch. They don't want au old sea dog like me." Alwaya from my childhood the cap¬ tain had come and gone out of my life like a myth ; his ahip waited in tbe harbor; he had wiugs; he was not like auy one else. And for this reason hia going from me now seemed to abut me away foreever out of aight into a living death. Somethlurr ofthis I mut¬ tered iucuherently, clinging to bim as though he might vanish while I wept The captain stooped aud looked into my excited face; his gray seinlillatiug eye shot a strauge ray into miue. "Umpb !" he said, fanning himself with hjiflgreat sombrero. "It's hot; there's not a breath stirring, and it only ten in the morning." There was silence for a moment—a tropic silence, unbroken by chirp of bird or fall of leaf. My eyes followed the far glimpse of tbe oceau, with the occasional sail heading toward the har¬ bor. "You like ships, Liabeth ?" said the captain. " I love them !" I cried, with enthu¬ siasm. "Just so, just so. You like things with a will; but, my little girl, if you expend so much feeling on every thing, what will you have for some good man when he asks you to like him?" "That would be ditrerent." My voico shook. " What would bedifl'erent? "said the cax>tain, turning suddenly aud harshly upun me. " Liabeth," he said, more softly, laying his great brown band on my arm, "you know I mean lobe your friend. I want you to remember that afler I am gone. If any trouble comes lo you, you know wbere lo write; yet, after all, it will be strange to sail away wiihout my liltle girl." I could make no reply. " X wiah the wife was here," aaid the captaiu, with a troubled voice; "she would tell me what to do." " There is nothing to do, captain; you have done all you could for me." "You must hunt up that engineer, Lizbeth," The captain was feeing in the depth ofhis fathomless pockets for an extra handkerchief as he uttered tliis jest, but I saw a tear wander down over the bridge of his no.«e before he could flnd it. ."I don't waut to hear that joke again !" T cried, angrily. "I mean to live alune. I don't want any help from anybody." " Softly there, my girl, softly!" was theanswer; "ynu do notknow whatyou are aaying. It's a hard shift to live alone; I have found it so,roving old dog thougii I am. Do not aay tbat you will' live alone, Lishetli; rather than that, I would even aak you to marry an old fellow like me!" Wliat I said then I do not know, what I did I do not remember. Like one rescued from shipwreck, I looked inlo the face of my friend, and thanked God. And so it came about that we two were wed. Thereis alitlle chapel down by tue water in that far island, a tiny chapel without seats, and wllb a dim flicker of tapers burning before the shrine of tbe Virgin. Tliere one morn¬ ing, before the aun waa up, and before the ahip spread her homeward sails in the liarhor, a wandering priest read the marriage aervice over two atrangera, while tbe atout seuora and her dark- eyed little ones stood in a hushed group lookiug on, and Liza looked in at the doorway with ber finger on her lips.

A thing immortal; Time cannot change it; Death caunot quench it; Eternity cannot waste or destroy it!— From the cradle lo the grave it com¬ passes us about, growing strongei: when temptation besets us, bosoming holier wben adversity tries us, and moreGod- like to save when the blackness of des¬ pair gathers ita horrors around us.— Forsaking ua not, though deserted by all othera, it clings to us with a spell which no charm can dissolve, willi a strength wliicb no power can sunder- In the morning, at noonday, and at eventide, it is always ours ; and thougb the dear heart whose every throb was actuated by it is husiied in tbat bosom forever; though the once soulful eyes glow not with it now, and thu mute lips breathe it no more—y ea,though the cofllu and the shroud, the cold clods of the valley, and tbe long grasses of many a year hide from our tear-bedim- med eyes the aweet form that was ever transfigured Into angelic radiance by its presence, yet from the shores of the receding Faat, tbis mother-love drifts over to ua with all vlvldneas of the daya when ahe was wilh ua ; aud it comes back to us from the beautiful Beyond, in its infinite tenderness still yearning over us, aud bringing ua hope as we struggle in tbe close contest of life. Going nut out forever, and setting not, 'lis a guiding star by whoae far- reaching light we may pilotour frail barks from billow on to billow across the stormy eea of Time, and anchor at last at tbe fadeless shore of a country whoae mansions are Home indeed, hai-. lowed and made pure by the iprayetfal Tigils bom of a mothei's loye.

Bo-bo was so frightened that he want¬ ed to run away, but he was afraid that he could never get over the big .wall thatshut China in, aud he was acared at what might be on the other aide of it, even if he cpuld get over; so he staid by the Imrned place, crying and wring¬ ing hia poor Chinese hands und won dering wbat bia father would do to him when be got home. " Wbat do I smell ?" aaid he ; "what Is it 7 whatis it?" and he began to look around. You must know that this un¬ lucky boy Bo-bo had burned up hia father's cottage twice already, but he had never scented such an odor before. He looked and be looked, aud at last found a iittie dark maas. He stooped down and touched it with bis fingers to find out if it was quite dead, for be knew it was one of the small pigs. Bo-bo burned liis fiugers, for the pig was yet roasting, uud some of tbe scorched skiu of the creature came away on lliem. " To stop the buruiug he thrust hia fingers into his mouth, aud that was the first time, says the old Chinese manuscript where llie slory is told, "in the world's life, that any mau ever tasted crackling." Bo-bo kept buruing his fiugers and cooling them again in the same fashion until bis father got home. As soon as the poor man discovered the smoking ruins he made baste to look for Bo-bo, who (uaughty boy) was always plunging bis falber luto trouble. He found him still enjoying his fin¬ gers. " O you bad Bo-bo! You've been playing with fire again! I know you! Now, you'll get a clubbing that'll teach you to let it alone in time lo come! " cried the father, and he fell to beating the young ciant. To his astoniabment Bo-bo did uot aeem lo mind the blows in the least.— You see, that was because the roasted pork was so nice.' When Ho-li had ended his whipping. Bo-bo caught up tbe half of a little pig, and, thrusting it into his fatlier's handa, cried out, "Eat! eat the burnt pig, father! juat taste it!" The father tasted, aud the slory saya that Ho-ti and Bo-bo uever got thiough taating uutll tbe ninth pig was goue. From that time tbe cottage of Ho-ti kept burning duwn. Every little while it would be found that ouly a heap of ruins remained in ils place. At leugth a special policeman was de¬ tailed to keep watch over Ho-ti and Bti- bo. The awful secret waa diacovered. Whenever roast pig waa wanted, the fire waa built and the houae burned.— Such an awful crime could not be al¬ lowed in China. Peking, since become a great city, was only a small place theu, but the swine-herd and bis aon were arrested and taken tbere to he tried. Some of the roost pig went up with them to tbe court. Poor Ho-ti was just about to be sentenced to death when the foreman of the jury (you know England claims "trial by jiiry," but China was used to juries before England was thought ot) begged that tbe roasted pig might be passed up into the box. So up it went, aud every man-bandied it. As they had no napkins, each mau wiped his greasy fingers on his lips aa be paased it over to hia neighbors. Theu, against all evidence, tho judge of the Celestial Court, and everybody, the jury brought in a verdict of " uot gui Ity." The judge slipped around into the jury-box and put bis haud on tbe roa^ pig. Juat as soon aa he had dried bia fingers on his lips be went off aud bought up all lbe pigs that he could find, aud a few days after that time bia fine lowu-houae burued up. It,wns full of piga tbat camo uul burned lo a crisp. From that time fires could bo aeen in eve.ry direction on the hills. Every in¬ surance ofllce had to close up its aflTairs in a few montha, and fire-wood and pigs became so scarce that only the em- X>eror could aflord lo buy roast pigs. Finally, some very wise body dis¬ covered that a pig could be troasted witliout buruiug up a houae at the aame time; but it took the Chineae so long to get over the habit of Imltatiug everything exactly, that when they did get over it there waan't a pig nor a bit of fire-wood left in the empire.—Hearth and Home, LEGAL NOTICES. An indiseieet mau confided a secret to another, and begged him not to re¬ peat it. " It's all right," waa the only reply; " I will he as close as you were." A boarding-bouae keeper mixed aome patent medicine in bis haah he- cause it was advertised as a cure for conaumption. Coleridge tella of a man who had such an overwhelmiug self-esteem that he never spoke uf himself without tak¬ ing ofif his hat. A Wisconsin man reporled tbat he couldn't find a word in his dictionary, because "the blaated book hadn't got an index." "The prisoner baa a very amoolb couulenance." " Yea; he was ironed just before he was brought iu. That accouuts forit." It Is now proposed to put nitro-glyce- rine iuto trunks to warn baggage-men against handling them roughly. The youug lady singer, who thought she could make her voice clearer by atraining it, made a great mistake. An Oregon editor alludes to the pur¬ chase of a mule by a brother journallat aa a remarkable case of self-posseaaion. ^ Asea captain explaineil to an inquis- iti ve lady that they nsed shrouds aboard . ship to bury dead calms at sea. .-- - , Executor of Elizabeth Utlfensteln.

¦\Vhen, somelimes,our foet grow weflry
On the ruj.'gediiins of life, The palil stretching long nnd dreary
WltU trial and labor rife, Wn pause on lho upward journey
aianclng backward over valloy aud glen, And sigh WltU an Infinite longius
To returu and "begin again."
For behind is the dew of the morning
With all Its freshness and light. And before aro doubts aud shadows.
And the chill nnd gloom of the night; And we think of the sunny places
We passed so carelessly then. And we sigh, O, Father, permit us
To return and "begin again."
We tbln]£ nf the many dear ones,
vVhose lives touched ours, at times, ^^'hnse loviug thoughts nud smiles
Floatbackllkevesper chimes. And sadly remember burdens
We might hnvo llghtoued then. Ah. gladly would we e.ise thrm
Coniil wc "beglu nguhi,"
And yet. bow vain tho asking!
Life's duties press all of us on. And who would shrink from the burden.
Or sigh for tbe sunshine that's goue? And it mar be, not far on before ua
Walt fairer places thau then. Our palhs may lead by .»till waters,
Though we may not "beglu again.''
Yes, upwar.l and onward forever
Bo our path ou thohlilsof lifo. But ero long a radiant dawning
Win glorify trial and strife. And our Father's haud will lead us
Tenderly upward then In thejoy aud pence of the better Morld,
He'll let us "begin again."
HOW I KAREIED THE CAPTAIN!
I bad never Ii.id au nilveiiUire. I tliink most people eoniiled nie n very quiet girl, nrifleil lilce ii .iea sliell intoa coruer of tlie gre.it -ivorlil. Tlm tiilea passed over my liead ; there was ship¬ wreck and disaster; there v;a3 sailing out of argosies ; there was dancing and lunsiu nmoiia the voyagers; but no¬ thing surged me up out of my sea- swept niehe. roor Klizabeth Grey ! I aaid aloud, will the lido ever reach you?
All this se.i-talk, I Ihink, grew outof tho littlo p.nk dre.^s I was sewing cn that morning. Ko.sj' Fox was going to Europe, and liiis was oue of a dozen or two liny dresses I had mado for lier. Going to Europe.' Kosy—a little prat¬ tling thing tliat didn't yet know oue street from another iu her native city. What would she do in Europe—what would Europe do for her? But for me the very thought seemed like a glimpse of Heaven—a sweet, forbidden glimpse; for what had I lo do with change, or pleasure, or excitement'?
A seamstress, orderly, exemplary— an orphan who had decently buried her mother, and who creditably sup¬ ported her little brother at school- such was mj' brief outward record.
This morning a strange restlessness beset me; an unaccountable yearning, like a wooing whiff of ocean air, beck¬ oned me away. Why sbouid I stay and vegetate in one spot forevet ? Could I not earn my living elsewhere as well as here 7 Did not folks use needles in Kamtchatka and in New Zealand? Could I not take my sewing to another market?
The thought stood on the verge ofmy mind, hovering, timorous, unreal, its wing poised for flight. I bad no money. Tho vision vanished, and in the gray after-light my path looked dustier, darker, more straitened than ever.
But this was not to be fl day like other days. It stands apart In my memory now, illuminating that whole year, as I have seen a clump of cardv nal flowera illumine a whole gray meadovr.
A knock came at the open door of my room, and it was flung back sharp anl suddenly. Very few visitors ever climbed to my little third story apart¬ ment ; seldom any one but testy Ma¬ dame Padwelle, for whom I worked. This could not be the Madame'a foot¬ fall, so heavy and brisk. I looked up, and there stood Captain David, my mother's old friend.
A tall, big-boned,grizzled man,quick, decided, and full of vigor as a Is orlbern pine, with a flavor of old-time quaint- ness about him—a thrifty, well-to-do man, whose ship had carried freight Into almost every port en the globe,hut chiefly to the West Indies.
I had not seen the captnin since I was a little girl, but I kuew his face and figure instantly. The lall hat he wore when in landsman's rig, the red banda¬ na he flourished, were things of memo¬ ry. Many an odd sea-shell ho had . brought mc, aud many a dainty from far-otr .'ands had shown hia remem¬ brance of my moiher. His sharp gray eye was full of kindly humanity : I remembered that eye, and how it had atood to me iu childhood for illimitable geographical knowledge, glimpses of polar seas, and fathomless waters, and all the uuspeakable mysteries of the unknown world.
'* Well, ray little girl, how's all the folks?" aaid the captain, taking off Ills steeple-crowned hat as he entered.
The familiar voice, the hearty grasp of his muscular haud, took me back to my girlhood again ; for an instant it aeemed aa if my mother were living, and all the welgbt of caro and loneli¬ ness were lifted frora my shoulders.— Only an instant. The tears gathered In my eyes, and I aaid, abruptly : " There are no folks, captain." The captain's countenance fell. He seemed inwardly to reprovehlmself for hij hasty pleasantry, recollecting that this was the time for conventional so¬ lemnity. Sealing himself with ginger¬ ly CBreon one of my slim-legged chairs, he wiped his forehead with his red ban¬ dana.
" I know, I kuow," he said, uneasily. "I mean—how's Jim?" with a hasty clutch at the name, as if lo aave him¬ self from further mishap.
" Oh," s»id I, cheerfully, anxious to put falm at hia ease, " Jim's doing fa¬ mously. He'll take the prize in lan¬ guages at liis school next year."
"And you are working yourself to death to stuflT the lad wilh Greek and i-aU n ?"
I fell to laughing. "No, captain, not exactly. Bnt Jim's too smart and too good to be kept in the city, and I have to be away ao much of the time sewing."
, ."Yoa look Uke it," said the captain, gmflly. "What do you live on? Shirts at sixpence apiece?"
"BTo, indeed!" I cried, indignantly. " I aew on pretty thinga—robes and dreaaea; see thia!" and I held upBosy's pretty pink dresal It glowed fn the sanshine, its flounces and friUinga . trembling about like a superabundant ....growthof petals.
.; The captain eyed It approvingly.— '• Pretty enongh," he said. " It's got all your color in it, my little girl."
It was long since-1 had beard any one express kindly intereatin me, and the words thrilled me with a strange feeling, intense, exquisite, allied to pain. •
You ought to have a change of air," aald the captain, seeing I made uo anawer.
The pretty dress seemed freighted with the visions I had had while mak¬ ing it. Bosy glimpses out of the mat- ter-of-couiae drudgery, the dingy and ashen hue of my habitual life, opened out of its folds.
" Captain," said I, abruptly, as I laid It carefully away, " how much does It cost to go the West Indies ?"
"By steam?"
"No; inyour ship." .
" Oh," said the captaiu, " I'm not fliled np for passengers. A tiglit little craft enough, but only to carry freight. Why? Know any one going?"
I ara. Caplain, let mo bo freight. Slow me awny iu the hatch or any where, only let me go! See, I have thirty dollars lo pay my passage;" aud I held up my purse. "Jim's quarter's all paid too!"
"The money's au iiume,:se tempta¬ tion," said the cnptniu, eying the slim purso liumorously —- " immense. I miglit lay byou it aflcroneor twomore voyages."
Ami, coi.t«iu, you knoir I'ven cou¬ sin out thero sorae^vllel'e—au engineer or soinclbing ou a plantation."
"Ay, that way blow.i llie wind, does it? Well, well, my child, I'll think ubout it. It might do you uo harm, .ind, as you say, you might m'.irry the engineer wheu you fiud liim."
"Kow, captaiu, you kuow I never said that!"
"No? AVell, Itpuls a bit of color into yuur checks, Lisbelb, aud that's a good thiug lo see, however it comes. I'll thiuk about it, child. It's poor Iravelliug iua freight vessel, butmauy's the trip the wife aud I took together wheu sho was living."
Long ogo tbe caplain had lost bis youne wife, ayoai- or two after their marriage. I had uever seeu her; but the captain's faithlul remembrance of her was pleasant She was a sort of saintly recollection toliiiii, brightening and sweetening liia rude life, aud keep¬ ing her uichc iu his heart forever.
Thrco daya passed. I waited, I sewed, I pricked uiy fiugei's perhaps a liltle more than usual; I looked out of the windiiw jiossibly a liiiie oftener. Kludaine Padwelle scolded me, JMa- dame Padwelle coaxed lue, and finally, in a hufl", madaiiie paid lUc uj) and left, severely intiniaiing lliat she would be glad to employ nn; ugaiu when I " felt liko work." Then came tlie captaiu. " Well ?" queried I; " Well," answered he, "you'll fiud it closo quarters and a pretty hot voyage; but there's the deck room."
Deck room! It was just the one thing I wanted-aud then I knew that the captain had cousented.
I shall not tell you much about that voyage. It stands yet in my mind in the same relation as a dream—vague, without sharpness of outline, with no separation of periods of time; oue big, bountiful remembrance of a season of infinite rest, wbeu, adrift between air and oceau, I seemed wiihout bodily entity ;" for the things that had marked my identity hitherto had been, hut were no longer.
I was uot seasick. A strange, vision- like seasation wrapped me about, a faintness as of a spirit coming nearly to life in a new world, having left the old incumbrance of the flesh, with the old cares, far away on tho far-away ahore.
There was nolbiug to do—that is, uothing for me lo do—no living to get, no exertion to get. I seemed an atom in the great sea of sky and water ; the great Good was taking care of me, and the great ocean clasping me in ils infi¬ nite arms of peace.
I was treated liko a lady—a raro and delicious thing to ono inured to hard usage aud to earniug her bread in a big bustling city. When the intense heat made me ill, and the rosy-cheeked mate's wife, wlio had been my compa¬ nion hitherto, succumbed to it aI.so, tbe captain took care of me himself. .Some¬ times he carried me in his strong arms up to the hammock swinging on deck ; sometimes he brought me Willi his owu brawny, kiudly hand my bowl of wa¬ ter-gruel. At odd limes, when nothing el.se called bim, he furbished up his rusty stock of schooling, and read me some queer old sea-story, resurrected from thedepthsof hisbigwooden che-sl. Bough, brown aud burly, the sailors were all my frlenda they touciied theii caps to me; lhey pointed out the dol- phina and porpoises, and scared me with tbe prospect of whales or imagi¬ nary sharka. Their dark faces aud sturdy forms made a solid background lo my dream-laud, nnd gave it a pic¬ turesque toucli of reality.
But by-and-by all this came to an end. Out of tbe dream-land voyage we sailed into dreamland itself.
Oue morning I went up on deck and, beheld! the very gates of paradise seemed open to mo.
The vessel lay anchored in a lovely harbor. Sapphire-blue shone the waler, edged where it touciied the b-iach with a lino of lace-like foam. Beyond roso hill above hill, crowued wilh glowing foliage and arciied by the azuro aky.
At the foot of these bills clu.stered a group of lon.,low,flat-roofed buildiugs, unlike any I had ever seen. They seemed to have groivn out of the same soil that nourished the cocoa and the palm waving above tbem. Intense color, vivid. Jewel-like, shone every¬ where about me. I rubbed my eyes. My last glimpse of land had been the gray and busy shores of New York. Had I, indeed, passed out of my dim and cobwebbed life into tho "glory that should he revealed."
A strange, melodious jargon greeted my eara ; a musical " caraiuho !" hissed between the teeth. Tbia could hardly be the nccentof seraph. Lookiug down, I saw a fleet of gayly painted boats, from which a throng of red, half-naked islanders climbed like monkeys up the sides of the ahip. They gesticulated, tbey chattered, they hurried agile about the ahip, chattering their delicious Spanish—a mellifluous cornucopia of vowels without ancles, without abarp- neas-the living expression of the strange scene upon which I bad fallen. "PortoBico!" aaid Captain David, as he passed busily on hia way.
But busy as the caplain was, he had not forgotten me. Before nightfall a snug little "casa," owned bya kindly bipanish woman, received me. A quiet place a liltle way beyond the busy town ; while floors, vast rooms open lo the roof, with here and there in wide perspective a chair, a table, a flower- wreathed niche for the Virgin. Buch was my new home.
Though apart from tha town, it was not isolated. Past ils windows, whose jalousies only veiled, but did not bide, the outer world, drifted dally the char¬ acteristic sights of a tropic. Overladen mules and sleepy Spanish ponies, bear'
ing panniers of fruit—oranges, banan¬ as, mammee-apples,. and I know not what of ahining and nameless things —moved leisurely down lo the quay bestrode by sullen slaves, tbeir dark faces set ofl' by now and then a scarlet vest or a great overBhadowlnjt,"8om- brero';" or ai lazyT iiaWhliked'native' loitered by wilh a picturesque load of dried plantain leaves for thatching his mouuiaiu hut, whereho ]i%'ed free, in¬ dependent, aud, iu bis expressive phrase, ''solemnly poor."
Jly landlady, the Seuora Marie, was a great, motherly, kind-hearted wo¬ man, a widow wilh a brood of olive- skiuncd, wild-eyed liltle ones lo look after, i'or them she was very ambi¬ tious; for their sakes she made the dainty "pales "ofguava aud cocoa-nut, whieh her slave Lizzie tock down lo market, poising them ou her bead afler the aucient fashion, which is the only fashion of thiugs in the Porto Bico; for their aakes abe rented the pieasaut rooms in her ensa to whomso¬ ever the lides and winda brought her from sea; and for their sakes, no doubt, had sho been an American woman, abe would have set lierself to aclive indus¬ try nnd labored " diligently with her hands." Aa it was, she cared for them and 2>launed fur them after her own aort, aud loved them hugely. She listeucd iTelighte'd while they ehiBlprod niuud iijc.cnaitciiDg their dainty liuRo, wondering over luy light locks, my foreign dresa, and coaxing me with a winning witcliery to talk to them in Euglish.
Sometimes lhe captain dropped in upon us; he was takiug iu cargo. Great hogsheads of sugar must have been a load ou his mind, but he found room for me also. Sometimes he took me oul before sunrise for a stroll ou the hills. Sometimes wo rode on horse¬ back tosome distaut sugar plantation, or we visited some oleander-hid haci¬ enda whose owner he knew. I waa gelling along famously, he said; the seuora had told him ali with her flugcra, eyes aud tongue how she liked rae, how golden my bair was, aud how I got on with the children. Would I like to live iu Porto Kico ?
Oil, I liked ituiispeakably! Thered soil, the hills, the straggling roads, the cocoa-trees, the far sugar-cane plauta- tious, Willi their tall chimneys looming agaiust lhe sky ; it waa all beautiful- even tbis lazy life that lived itself with¬ out eflort, and scHinc'd lu put to shame the busy undignified sciituible we had called exi&tenue. " I love it all, captain!" I exclaimed. " Weli," said tlie caplain, laughing, "we must huut up our engineer und see what can be doue about it." But Seuora Marie had a uew idea. "Tbo little senorita is happy here; doubtless some of lier people long ago were Spauiah, eh ? She tella rae she is not rich—money no mucho, eh? Let ber slay .with mo in my casa; I will givo her plenty mucho lo eat and to wear; I will take her to ray friends They have haciendas, plantations" plenty slaves. She shall (each the children and be happj'. Eh, what say you, seuor captain?"
Seuor ciiptain said nothing fur some time. He wined his forehead v/ith his red bandana; he looked over ut me with a searching glance; he knit his brows. Fiually he rose in his abrupt fashiou. "She might do worse," he said, and betook liiuiself to his ship. • The bot day grew hotter and hotter ; it flamed to a close ; it died wilh gor¬ geous burning behind the hills; tho sudden blackne.s.s of tropic night came ou ; but he did nut come agaiu.
I lay awake luug thatuigbt listeuing to the wash of the surf pu lhe distant shore, and hear the lonely cry of the watchman cilling out the hour in the solitary atreets of the town. How strange it would be to grow familiar with all these things, and live in thia atrange land forever.
I aaid nothiug. to Seuora Marie ahout her proposition. People in theso Is¬ lands are In no such haate fora deei- aiou. Perhaps I s'aould gratefully ac¬ cept it ut last. Perhaps I had miscal¬ culated tiie captain's kiudueas-it might not pay him lo carry me back. And what did I waut to go back to? To the struggle for bread again ? To lho nar¬ row room uuder the roof—to the nar¬ row life cf peuur.y ? Here I was rich, or might be;-eveu the poorest here had his plautaiu hut aud his patch of ba- ueua.
Yet something in me ached at the thought that tho good ahip with its tidy cabin, its kindly captain and crew, would go cut from me, sailing tbrougii the mists of the great ocean, aud leave me drifted among the palms and cocons, a worthless, unmissed thing, not wortii taking home
I tried to be sensible, to look the mat¬ ter iu the face, and to rejoice that fate had provided for rae so unexpectedly. And when day afler day passed I began to think that the captain had regarded the thing as final, nnd after his sailor fashiou had departed without eveu an adieu. I had sei u him conclude a bar¬ gain in just auch brief manner.
Eestless and weary with along night of wakefuhu'sp, I rose early and set out for the shore. Early Ibough it was, however, none of our household being astir, I fouud llie tropic world awake before me; along the road to the har¬ bor wagon after wagon, laden wilh su¬ gar hogsheads and drawn bf rough, savage-look iug bulls or unkerapt oxen, were pnseins on their way lothe wharf. Etiquette in llic West Indies does not allow a lady to be seen abroad unat¬ tended, so, hasiily clambering up the hillside bordering tho roail, I sought a narrow, sheltered path I knew of, which, crawling amoug the scraggy bushe.", kept its diflieult v/ay to the river.
Weary with my exertions,I sat down a momeut to rest. Just here, at the turn of tbe path, an opening through wood and riaing hill gave glimp.°e of the ocean, with here and there Ihefaint tracing uf most und sail, as frora the outer world an oecaaioual ship sought barbor.
As I aat tliere, leaning my head on my hand, I brlieve I felt the flrat touch of homeaickncsa I had ever known. Al least ray little room at home was shaded and quiet; at least its xioverty and nakedness were not displayed on the roadside. Here was I witii my I dream all ended, even in tho midet of I my dreaming. Above me palm and tamarind feathered tho sky, the jewel- shine of tropic leaf and llower, splendor, color everywhere, and I alone gray, aolitary and cold.
Absorbed in thought, I knew not how long I sat A quick slep startled me. It was not a native step ; no na¬ tive sets his foot down as if it were of the slightest importance when he lifted it again. Tbere was meaning and energy in this footfall, and I hasti¬ ly rose to face the Intruder. It was my gray, sturdy, faithful captain.
"Well, my liltle girl!" cried the bearty familiar voice; "how's this? Out hero alone this time o'day ? The women folks will all be down upon you for breaking rules."'
" I—I thought you had sailed," was my reply, as I burst into tears lu spite of myself..
Wbereat.the captain burnt iuto that honest, fi'lendly, laugh of ofbis, 'which; seemed so thoroughly' to set aside' trouble and diflicaUy, Bbeiiding them' like so many cobwebs.
" Well, well 1" he aaid ; " well, well, well!"
Which waa his sole comment.
Taking my haud uuder his arm, he drew me away from the path, up to¬ ward the level of the hill, where a lit¬ tle breeze stirred slumbrously, and a aolitary lake, shut in with foli¬ age of bamboo and clambering vine, colored the air.
"Beat here a bit, and wipe your eyes," said the captain, spreading his red handkerchief on the ground for me to sit ou. "I am on my way to Se¬ uora Marie's lo breakfast, but there's no hurry. Neither she nor all her lazy slaves can get it ready before twelve o'clock, you kuow." He looked at his watch wilh a seaman's exactitude, and silting down beside me, opened his great umbrella over my head to shut out thesun. I felteheltered and comforted.
" So you thought I had sailed, Lia- belh?"lie aaid. "You must have a high opinion of your poorold captain's good manners!"
The teata welled to my eyea again. I could not answer. _
"Tut, tut!" sam my companion; cheerilj". "You must not be ao down¬ hearted, Lisbeth, when Mrs. Marie has taken so kindly to you. But you'll get on betler when the ship's fairly out of sight. You'll feel more settled."
" If you were here," I broke forlh.
"Oh, what do you want of me? You'll be with theyoung senors and seuoritas, aud all the rest of it. They will treat you like a princess. I'm no company for auch. They don't want au old sea dog like me."
Alwaya from my childhood the cap¬ tain had come and gone out of my life like a myth ; his ahip waited in tbe harbor; he had wiugs; he was not like auy one else. And for this reason hia going from me now seemed to abut me away foreever out of aight into a living death. Somethlurr ofthis I mut¬ tered iucuherently, clinging to bim as though he might vanish while I wept
The captain stooped aud looked into my excited face; his gray seinlillatiug eye shot a strauge ray into miue.
"Umpb !" he said, fanning himself with hjiflgreat sombrero. "It's hot; there's not a breath stirring, and it only ten in the morning."
There was silence for a moment—a tropic silence, unbroken by chirp of bird or fall of leaf. My eyes followed the far glimpse of tbe oceau, with the occasional sail heading toward the har¬ bor.
"You like ships, Liabeth ?" said the captain.
" I love them !" I cried, with enthu¬ siasm.
"Just so, just so. You like things with a will; but, my little girl, if you expend so much feeling on every thing, what will you have for some good man when he asks you to like him?"
"That would be ditrerent." My voico shook.
" What would bedifl'erent? "said the cax>tain, turning suddenly aud harshly upun me. " Liabeth," he said, more softly, laying his great brown band on my arm, "you know I mean lobe your friend. I want you to remember that afler I am gone. If any trouble comes lo you, you know wbere lo write; yet, after all, it will be strange to sail away wiihout my liltle girl." I could make no reply. " X wiah the wife was here," aaid the captaiu, with a troubled voice; "she would tell me what to do."
" There is nothing to do, captain; you have done all you could for me." "You must hunt up that engineer, Lizbeth," The captain was feeing in the depth ofhis fathomless pockets for an extra handkerchief as he uttered tliis jest, but I saw a tear wander down over the bridge of his no.«e before he could flnd it. ."I don't waut to hear that joke again !" T cried, angrily. "I mean to live alune. I don't want any help from anybody."
" Softly there, my girl, softly!" was theanswer; "ynu do notknow whatyou are aaying. It's a hard shift to live alone; I have found it so,roving old dog thougii I am. Do not aay tbat you will' live alone, Lishetli; rather than that, I would even aak you to marry an old fellow like me!"
Wliat I said then I do not know, what I did I do not remember. Like one rescued from shipwreck, I looked inlo the face of my friend, and thanked God.
And so it came about that we two were wed. Thereis alitlle chapel down by tue water in that far island, a tiny chapel without seats, and wllb a dim flicker of tapers burning before the shrine of tbe Virgin. Tliere one morn¬ ing, before the aun waa up, and before the ahip spread her homeward sails in the liarhor, a wandering priest read the marriage aervice over two atrangera, while tbe atout seuora and her dark- eyed little ones stood in a hushed group lookiug on, and Liza looked in at the doorway with ber finger on her lips.

A arOTHEE'S LOVE.
A thing immortal; Time cannot change it; Death caunot quench it; Eternity cannot waste or destroy it!— From the cradle lo the grave it com¬ passes us about, growing strongei: when temptation besets us, bosoming holier wben adversity tries us, and moreGod- like to save when the blackness of des¬ pair gathers ita horrors around us.— Forsaking ua not, though deserted by all othera, it clings to us with a spell which no charm can dissolve, willi a strength wliicb no power can sunder- In the morning, at noonday, and at eventide, it is always ours ; and thougb the dear heart whose every throb was actuated by it is husiied in tbat bosom forever; though the once soulful eyes glow not with it now, and thu mute lips breathe it no more—y ea,though the cofllu and the shroud, the cold clods of the valley, and tbe long grasses of many a year hide from our tear-bedim- med eyes the aweet form that was ever transfigured Into angelic radiance by its presence, yet from the shores of the receding Faat, tbis mother-love drifts over to ua with all vlvldneas of the daya when ahe was wilh ua ; aud it comes back to us from the beautiful Beyond, in its infinite tenderness still yearning over us, aud bringing ua hope as we struggle in tbe close contest of life.
Going nut out forever, and setting not, 'lis a guiding star by whoae far- reaching light we may pilotour frail barks from billow on to billow across the stormy eea of Time, and anchor at last at tbe fadeless shore of a country whoae mansions are Home indeed, hai-. lowed and made pure by the iprayetfal Tigils bom of a mothei's loye.
