" Within ourheils awhile we heard The wind tliat round the gable roared. With now and then a ruder shock. WhU'Ii made our very bedstead rock. We heard the loo.»*ened clapboards tost.

A LOVE STOSY. I.
"Ifow liuiili, ray dearie, husli, there's a man ! Your mother is a poor crea¬ ture, but she can take eare of her little lad yet, aud she ¦will. It will never be she that will sit by and see him thrash¬ ed—not for all the Langtons and all the book-learning in England!"
The speaker sat in her cottage kitch¬ eu, in an arm-chair by the fireside, plaiting straw ; a feeble, sickly-looking woman, with a querulona faee. She had fret herself into ill health two years ago when lier husband died, John Morton, the Brent flshermau, who had lost his life one wild night coming home round the headland with his la¬ den boat; and she was never likely, with her indolent and repining nature, to be anything but au invalid now for the rest of her days.
On a stool at 'lier feet sat the boy whose.unmerited whipping she bewail¬ ed—asmall child, disfigured by abund¬ ant weeping. Tlie room had also one other occupant, a dark-eyed girl of nineteen or twenty, who sat in the win¬ dow, aewing.
.She sat sewing, but let her work drop down upon hcr knees as Mrs. Morton spoke, and raised a face tliat wasfull of a strange kind of pain.
" Mother," she said, in a low, intense tone, " I could not help it."
"You didn't try to help it," Mrs. Morton retorted, quickly. " You would not care if Langton broke every bone in his body—as he nearly has done— bad luck to his ugly face," she cried, bitterly. "Mother, hush I"
As Mrs. Morton spoke tho.se last words the girl's eyes had flashed, and her fingera had contracted ahnost con¬ vulsively.
And yet fow olhei's—meu or women —in the parish would have been much concerned at a far greater amount of vituperation passed upon Philip Lang- ton ; few who had any dealings with him would have been disposed to stand np very warmly in hLs defence. He was not a popular man in Brent.
He had eome to the place a year ago to be master of the village school—the rector's school as it was called. High testimonials had procured him the ap¬ pointment, nor indeed were his abili¬ ties ever questioned : thet/ were all that could be desired, and more than were needed for the post. He was found, however, to be violent tempered, haughty, reserved, independent, and he soon got an ill name alike with rec¬ tor and scholars.
He had been born and brought up as agentleman. His father and mother had died when he was a child; at eight¬ een he had quarreled with the uncle nnder Avhose guardianship he had been brought up, and utterly without resour¬ ces of his owu had left his house, and from that time to this his life had been a restless battle and struggle. He was clever, ambitious, determined—and friendless. In twelve years, spite of his talents, he had risen to no higher post than this humble one of village schoolmaster.
In the same school at Brent, three months after the arrival of Mr. Lang- ton,. Margaret Morton had been ap¬ pointed mislress. She was young to liold auch a post, but since her father's death the support both of her mother and brother liad fallen almost entirely upon her ; aud this circumstance, when the plaee became vacant last winter, had given her, in the estimation of the kind-hearted rector, a strong claim to the appointment She had besides been monitress iu the school for some years ; she was a good girl, too, and clever; the rector liked her, and before she had oc¬ cupied her new post for a mouth it be¬ came clear that the wholo scliool was ofone feeling with him.
T say she waa clever. In a very short lime Philip Langton discovered that. Presentlj', moved, I suppose, by some feeling of kindness, he oliered, if she cared for it, to help her advance her studies. Perhaps she too had some am¬ bition, some desire to be at a future time more than a village school teacher. Be that as it may, she accepted his of¬ fer, aud she had now been his pupil for six months. He had found her ([uick, earnest, and trnstlng; repaying that trust, he had made himself to lier pa¬ tient, unwearied and gentle. Maater and pupil suited each other.
It was evening, seven o'clock ou a .Tune daj'. The sehool had long been I'leared of its throng of ehildren; books and .slates were put away into their pla¬ ces ; the brick floor was clean swept. .\t, the girls' room the door was locked but the hoj's' room was still open, and alone at the master's diesk stood Mr. Langton, a thin, slight man, with a dark, resolute face, by no means pre- posses.sing or handsome.
He used to give Margaret her lesson usually about this hour, and he was waiting for her now. To-daj-, howev¬ er, he had to wait a quarter of on hour or more before she came. When she did come at last, he was writing, and only raised his head fora moment as he heard her step. " You are late," was all he said. "Yes; I was detained a little while at home."
She had brought out her books and arranged them, before he moved from his desk.   Coming at length In silence, he drew a seat beside her, and took the opeu book out of her hands. " What have you prepared ?" " Those two pages." He began to question her upou them, forthwith.   She could usually anawer what he asked her, readily;  to-day, however, her thoughts -virere evidently wandering.   He tried liibier' tbsp ofioe to flx her attention, bat saU3nBpite of that, the lesson tras lUsaid^"  ' He put down the book at last.
¦ " Voo are not well to-di^?". he asked. ' " O yes, I am well," sh'e said quickly.
" What SK - you thinking of then ? Not of your lesson 1" I "Ko."   She hesitated a moment.    .
"TeU The." ' "Iwantedtospeafctoyou,Mr.Lang- ion," she said suddenly.    " You were very angiy With niy brotherthls mom- Ing." i "Well?"
" You hurt him veiy much."
" I meant to hurt him."
" He is verj- young." : " Youug or old, he did wrong,"
There was a pause.   Mr. Langton sat forward, leaning his dark face on his hand. ' "Well?" he said again.
Her ej-es had fallen. When he ques¬ tioned her, they looked hack to his face; she began to speak again, and gradually as'she spoke her cheek flush¬ ed hot and bright.
i " Could j'oiinot be a little gentle with ^hem—a little less angry with them frlienthey do wrong?. I know that they must be punished; Iknow that 'i'om deserved to be punished to-day; but—ifyou could be a little gentler! When you are angrj' every one miauu- derstandSyou. O, Mr. Langton!" she (iried, " j'ou do not know half of what lu aaid against you!" ' The tears, had sprung up into her eyes; hcreamest distress had lilled her ftioe Ayitlvalook almost of passion.
"I cannot attend to all the fools' tongues in Brent," was Ills scornful answer. " Stand you by me, and they may talk as they please."
" But could you not bear a little with .them?" she pleaded timidly. . "Mr. Langton, you. muat not think tliey can do yoii no harm. They can harm you; thej- send every complaint they have against you to the rcetorj-. They are saying already"-the poor girl's voiee almost broke 'down—" they are saj'ing already that j-ou wlll not be much longer here."
"Ay? are they saying that?" and he laughed.
She gave him one sad look, and then dropped her head, nnd spoke no more. Her clasped hands lay on her lap; pres¬ ently as ahe sat, large tears fell down and wet them. She never moved; lie also sat motionless. She thought he did not know sho w:i» weeping, but she was wropg there; ho was conscious of every tear she shed.
Quietly watching hcr, he let the si¬ lence last for several miuutes; and then bending to her at last, he .said these words:
" If it comes to that—if I am not to be here much longer—Margaret, will you let me leave Brent as poor aa wheu I came'."'
She started aslie.s])oke,but8he neith¬ er replied to him nor raised her head. He did not Withdraw his look from her. After a few moments he spoke again.
"I have loved no woman before. Y'ou are uij- first love, Margaret. Will you become mj- wife?
h!he answered liim then.
" AVliat am I tliat you should ask me this?" she said in an agitated voice.—¦ "I am nothing but a poor, ignorant girl. O, no—uo—no!" she cried.— " Your wife must not be one like me!"
" Margaret!" he aaid.
She had not looked up till theu, bnt at that call, as if ita passionate tender¬ ness compelled her, sbe raised her face. What need W.IS there to speak again? By her two hands he drew her near to him, and took her in his arms, ir.
They told no ono of their engage¬ ment, for they knew the outcrj- that would ou all hands follow its discovery, and no oue suspected it. For three months they were both infinitely liap¬ py. Even in the school during these months there was improvement. Mar¬ garet's |)ower over Mr. Langtou waa very great; one word or one look from her, one touch of her hand, could sub¬ due him iu bis angriest aud haugbtiest moods; and, rendered pliable bj- his love for her, he strove, and often strove successfullj', to bend his pride and curb his temper. Thus, for u time, all things went wonderfully well. But this hol¬ low kind of peace was not a thing to last. Jlargaret could not be always by his sido, or in his sigiit; and one daj' at length, iu an unlnckj- hour, suddenly, without warning, the three montlis' tranquilitj- expired.
Mr. Langton quarrelled with tho rec¬ tor. The rector was really wrong in the grouud of quarrel, and Philip right. But Philip, lu his indignation, forgot all deference duo to him as his emploj'¬ cr, stood up before him as equal to equal, and the end of that day's business was, that when the school-house was closed iu the afternoon, tlie kcj- of it weut into the rector's pocket.
He had written tlie sentence of their separation. Margaret knew that, hut she did not reproach him. Thej- met together tliat eveniug for the last time, at tlie foot of a clitl" beside the sea, which had witnessed manj'a meeting of theirs before, with the calm, wide water stretching from their feet.
"It must have corae sooner or later," hesaid. "Ds not grieve so for it, mj- dariing. I was wasting time here. Mj- going now will onlj- bring em back to yon the sooner." .She looked np wistfullj- to his face. " The future is all so dark," she cried; we cannot see into it. I feel as ifl was holdiug tlie last link of a golden chain; and to-night—to-night before I sleep- it will have fallen from me."
lng!"!she cried, the light flashing up innerfece.
It was the last flash of gladness that lighted that poor face for many a doy to come. Margaret hod told her secret, aud what foUowed was a storm of tears and passionate reproaches so violent as to exhaust aU the small stick of ^trenetteihat; Mrs/JJoi^i\.:,l)adi ,»nd force neir before'monjr hours were over, to her bed, where ahe lay and sobbed and moaned all night, and by morning had worn herself ill enough to make Margaret unable to leave the housel^^ Throughout that whole daj-, from morn¬ ing to night, her daughter sat beside her, listening to her reproaches, and her self-bewailings, aod her passiouatc entreaties. For j'eara past, Indeed for well-nigh her whole life long, Mrs. Morton had been very well tiware tliat her strength loy in her fretful pertina¬ city, and her deadnesa to everj- other creature's comfort but her own. In former days slie had ruled her husband by her queVulous selfishness; for years die hod ruled her daughter by the aame means: selfishness waa to her her ar¬ mor of proof, and, as she had resorted lo it in countless straits before, so she re¬ sorted to it uow. Margaret had worked for her, and devoted herself to her, and humored her, and iMi-s. Morton felt that it would be hard now to do without this filial care; aud feeiiug this, what¬ ever a generous and noble uature could least bear.to have itself accused of, these things did the motlier launch at her daughter's head. Shohung herself .as a dead weiglit rouud ilargaret's neck, and then, wriugiug her hands, called everj- oue to witness how Jlargaret was about to tlirow her mother ott". ; For two days Margaret bore this per¬ secution almost iu silence, sitting hour after hour by her mother's side, with her poor heart growing eold and faint within her. What sliould she do?— They were all ugainst hor— motlier, brother, friends: she had no one to take her part, no one—uot a single one to utter Philip Langton's name except with abuse or reproach. What should she do? Hour after hour for those two weary daya the poor girl's desolate pas¬ sionate question weut up to Heaven.
And alowly and releiitlesslj', as those hours went on, the hope that had been her torch ao long paled and died out.— She fought for two duj's, and then the battle ended. Wheu the evening of the second daj- came slie knew thatshe must give him up.
She must give him up—her love!— her life! She was sitting wheu the struggle ended bj- her mother's side, who, worn out with forty-eight hours of fretting, was lying at last with closed eyes and lips. She had lain so for an hour, her thin face shrunk, her pale cheeks hollowed with tliose two days' illness, and for h.ilf an hour Margaret hod sat and watched her. ,Sat in the deep silence—the first moments of peace that had heen given her—and warclied her as she lay there, sicklj- and fceiile and lonely, till a conviction rose witli¬ in her heart that conquered her—a de¬ spairing hopeless conviction—that sbe dared uot leave her.
She sat wheu it had come, .ind rook¬ ed herself to ond fin, crouching lier head, putting out her hands and eover- iiig her face, moaning over aud over ogain some low, unintelligible, broken¬ hearted words. She never changed sound or movement till Jfrs. Jtorton's querulous voice broke ou her miserj'. She only changed them theu to raise ber wiiite face to her niother, and strive to utter words wliich at her firat eflbrt choked herand would not eome.
And when at last, kneeling bj- the bedside, with her face pressed upon her outstretched hands, tiie poor girl utter¬ ed tlieni,giving her lirokeu-hearted pro¬ mise tliut slie would go, for her reward there camo this an.swer—
" Could J-ou not liave said as mneh .it the beginniug," Mrs. Jlorton said, "without doing j-our boat to Icill me firat? But J'OU are slill as j-ou have beeu all your life—thinking of no cre.i- ture in the world except yourself."
"No; it will not have fallen!" he answered, cheerfully. " Y'our haud grasping one eud, mine holding fast the other, it will remain stretched out be¬ tween us until the hour that I come baok. Margaret, I will work for you; I will struggle for you ; I will rise for you. Aud you," he cried, " wait for me! for no power, but tho powerof God taking my life, shall keep nie from coming back."
" I will wait," she sold. " I will wait J-ears and yeara. Ifyou die before I ever see you again, I will wait for you till wc meet in heaveu."
JU.
She did wrong to keep their engage¬ ment from her mother. Poor Margaret knew thot, and wos troubled hy the knowledge; but she had nut courage to awaken the storm of abuse which she knew weil would fall upon her head should she divulge it, so she let time pass ou, and told her mother notbing. bhe kept her secret for two years, hear¬ ing frpm her lover occasionally, but not often, and liviug on her silent trust in him.
After these two years were ended, one day, a bright summer afternoon, Mrs. Morton stood at her cottage door, shad¬ ing her eyes from the strong sunlight, as she looked eagerly towards the school house, whence the school children wero comiug pouringoutaudswormingdown tbe road, and whence presently, with o step tbat was slower thau tlielrs, came Margaret. Mrs, Morton's tongue was loosed as she drew near.
" O, Uear me! whata time that school does keep you !" she ejaculated. " Such a state I've been in aU day ; my pour head's just worn out with thinking. Margaret, you never will guess as long aayou live, butiwhat do you think the postman brought nie here tliis morn¬ ing?"
" What, mother ?" As she .spoke, Margaret's wholo face fiushed.
" O, you may well aak what. I tell you you'll never guess. Whj', he brought a letter from j'our tlucle 'Toin, in Amerioa-^who might have beeu dead and burled, for anything I've kuown, these flve years—and he's sent us money to go out to him. Yes, he says we're to go out to him, every one of us, and he'll keep us as long as we live. Why, Mar¬ garet!" Mrs. Morton cried. " Margaret! tTo'd bless the girl, are j-ou going to faint?"
" Mother, come in. Jlother, come iu Olid shut the door."
White i^id trembling, Jfargaret puss¬ ed into the kitchen. ,She let her mother join.her tliere, and grasping her hands tight within her own, she began to speak hurriedlj-, in a low, eonstrained, almost hard tone.
" Mother, I cannot go; I cannot leave England," she said. " If you go, you must go alone. No—uo—don't look like that at me. I have had hews, too, to-dajr. 0, mother!" she orjed, aU hardness suddenly breaking down as she clasped' Mis. Mortou'shonds upon her breast, " speak gentlyitome, look kindly on me. Dear mother! dear mother! I am going tobe Philip Lang- ton's wife."
Mrs. Mortoustood befoie her daugh¬ ter, face to face, ^nd caught her by her arms.
'•Y^ouaregol;ig to be what?" burst from her lips. '? Goiug to be what i" shecrled.
"lam going to he his wife." Her answe^jjai^edincpt'i^mhphanyy now. "_!promised. hl^^lgnft.Jtistoije.lje wppt. HeTrrote to ine to-day, tq^teU me that hb'cpuld marry me.    And be'is com-
The promise was given, and from that time onward she waa altogether passive. The cliief object of every one about her waa to liurrj' her awaj- be¬ fore Phili|) Langton could hear that she was going. She knew this, hut she never suid a word. Living as they did, they only needed a few days to'make their preparations for departure. The rector promised, without detoining Jlargaret, to lind a substitute for Iier iu the school. By the end of a week tliej- were all iu readiness to go.
She sot, ou the laat night, in herown room alone. Through all tlie week poor Langton's nuansweicd letter had lain upou her heart. To-night slie wrote to him.
Like one whom sorrow had shinned into inseusibilitj-, she told him all that hadbeen done; she told him of the promise ahe had giveu, almost without one demonstration of emotion. And onlj- then, wheu all was said, sudden¬ ly at some straj' thouglit—the ciiance recalling of a few w-ords uttered long before—all the great agony of her heart burst forth.
"Do you remember," ahe said, "th.it evening when we parted, how I tobi you that I felt as if I had hold of ilie last link of a chain ?"
And tlieu—
"Wh.it am I todo?" she broke out wildlj-. " My God! what am I to do ? How am I to live all my life long alone? O Philip, help me! Philip have mercy on me! write me oue word, or I shall die. O, if I could have seen you once more—only once more—only ouce more before I go! All day long— all night, as I lie awke, I think of it. O Philip! write to me—write to me and forgive me, or my heart will break."
She hod been in her new home for a month when the auswer to that appeal wasbroughttoher. A hard and cruel answer.   This was what it said—
" I trusted all my happiness to you, and you have wrecked It. For this I give you no forgiveness. From your solemn promise to becomo my wife— from your solemn promise to wait for me till I should come and claim you— no power on earth had the right to set youfree. Y'ou have broken those pro¬ mises of your own wealc choice an<l will. Had I been by your side you had not dared to do this wrong to me. If you had been faithful I would have loved you as never liviug man will love you now. I would have cherished you as never mau will cherish j-ou. 'You have chosen j'our own lot apart from me.   Audi—"
The letter broke oil' liere. To this last blank desolate liue there wus ad¬ ded uolhing but the jiassionate bitter cry—"Jlargaret!   Jlargaret!"
She .gat befpre a side-table strewn with books, .and whUed the time away In turning t^'em over.. There were a few'amall g^iipsof )adl6s'iiii the' room, making a ^Int buzz of conreraatlbn, but'It.wBs notload enough to Interrupt lier.'. For Along.vbile she read uhdls- (Jn:S?d,i!WitH.thftJfeibtehqi» atlast leapt iQtQ.<iiUake);|^(wiatl9B,fartbedcaw;ingr 'roomdoor was opened, and new.voices aoiiuded, new faces 'entered and filled tiie rooin.
; A few feet from where she sat there stood a small.empty sofa. Toward this there presently came two persons, and took possession of It—Mrs. Tra vers, and a gentlemau whose face was strange to Margaret. Aa they sat down it was he who spoke first.
" Begin from your owu marriage, and tell iiie everything," he satd. " What has become of oil my old.friends; I cau scarcely see or hear of oneof them." •' I ean give you a scora of histories," slic answered. " Who shall I begin wilh? And they fell at once Into an animated talk together.
It might have lasted perhaps for half an hour, when, .after a momentary pause, Jlargaret heard these words—
"In the midst of aU this,'.' Jtrs. Tra- ver's companion said, " how iu the world have you contrived to be so Uttle changed ? To look at you I can scarce¬ ly believe that I have ever been awoy; .J-et the whole morning I have been complaining to Langtou that I caunot recognize o single face I.see.
She looked up with au; Involuntary start, but it was only for a momeut.— She had heard strangers called by that name before. There were more Lang- tons in the world than hers.
"By the way,?' Mrs..Tiuvers said, "who is this Jlr. Langton? Where did J-ou pick him up ? "
'' Langton ? O, he Is a man with some name in political circles iu England.—
He is just now secretary to Lord "
" He is not in tlie room at present, is he? I am so blind—but I don't see liiiu."
" No; he and Travels got into a dis¬ cussion together, and we left them to fight it out."
They turued the talk back to their own alfairs. With a low sigh Marga¬ ret stooped ber face again upou her book. " It is not Philip, it is not PhU¬ ip," she whispered to herself. Bending her he;id she shaded her eyes, aud for a miuute closed her lids; and before her attitude was altered, before her eyes were reopened, there fell npon her ear the long unheard voice.
" How beautiful your open sea bere is," it is said. " It brings to my mind the onlj- place wbere I ever lived be¬ fore by the open sea—a little village In the south of England."
She looked up and saw him. That vision that nlneyears bad robbed ber of; that lover to whose memory ber life, with all its struggles, successes, en¬ durances, had been an offering. There, before her, his foot withiu a pace of wliere she sat, his dark, familiar face clear in licr sight; familiar, and yet how strange, after this absence, this al¬ ienee, this abnegation of nine years.
A hand was laid kindly on her arm, aud ou hor ear came the touea of anoth¬ er voice—
" You feci thia room very hot," it s.iid. " Do you not, Jliss Morton ? I am sure you are hot, you look so pole and tired. Come away witb me, and let us take a littlo walk upon the ter¬ race."
The outstretched hand drew her from her seat. O, this was cruel! There leapt up to her lipa one piteous cry, one hei pless cry of passionate resistance; and then she rose, and weut. Away slie went, from where her hungry eyes had rested, to the dimly-lighted ter¬ race.
" Now take luj- arm, we will walk for a little here."
She answeied " Yes," but she could not do it.   She tried, and walked  a dozen steps; then suddenlj' stood still, and cried—¦ "Let me ait dowu." She leant against o pillar near her. "Mi-s. Carlton,  let me ait down!— Here, where it is not light; O here, where itis not light! " sho cried.
" Jfjf dear, - there is no seat; stand still one moment."
¦ Pausing to ask no questions, Mrs. Carlton hurried to tlie house. She was absent for a few secouds : then she re¬ turned, and not alone. Another arm was laden with the chair that she had goue to lind, and anotlier hand set It bj- JIargaret's side.
"Thank J-ou, Mr. Langton. Now, my dear, sit down. You will he better soon in this fresh air."
Slie sat down as she was bidden ; helplessly, withouta word. She gave no thanks.
Having coinc,he staj-ed. Deliberatelj- and at once he took the place where she had stood, and leant where ahe had leant against the pillar. He stood witii his face partlj- towarda her, with tlie light upou it.
' We shall never teach this northoru snowdrop to bearoursoutlieru warmth," Jlrs. Carlton said. " Jlr. Langton, are all your country womeii 80 hard to ac- cuatom to new climates ? Are thej- all such fragile creatures aa thia one? "
He turned his head where Jlargaret sat, and looked at her. Following that look there eame uo chenge upon his face, no token in him of recognition, nothing but this q uiet answer-
figure erect, tind >vlth all, that ahe bad In ber of gentle pride, gathered upon her face.
" My, white face does me wrong to¬ night," shesaid. "I'am no ruin. I have known sorrow, as others have: but no sorrow I haye felt has crushed me. I have grown to Ijioftoldi perhaps; But Iamndtyotingnoff,''evenln years."
flls dark face had for a moment thrown off it^ mask, but all tenderness that In word or look had begun to ap¬ pear in him shrank back before her words. The pause that came when she ceased to speak was broken bj- his oold reply—
" If there has been no suffering, then my petition maj- be granted tlie more' easily. I have cnme a long waj-," he said slowly, " to oak j'our forgiveness for a w-rong done to j'ou long ago." He paused for »,moment, and then bis voice grew bitter as he ended. "It wiU cost you little to grant it. When the pain ofa wrong iios ceased, we can for¬ give the wronger easily."
She had been very calm outwardly when she had spoken, but now her hands were crushed together, uud her eyes, fixed on his face, were troubled and dark. Sbe stoodonemomentshiv- ering, theu all her love rose in a wild defence, and out of that nine j-eara' si¬ leuce leapt this cry—
" It haa not ceased ! O, the paiu has not ceased!"
Her head fell down upon her parted hands; she hid her face upon them, and broke witli passionate lielples.suess into a low, piteous sob.
And then, as she stood there desolate, she felt his arm circling her round; and passionate once more, in Us deep loving tendei;ne3S, ahe heard his vtoioe—
" Jlargaret, i liavubofe«i faithful," he cried. "In spite of thiit harsh wrong I have lived for you. I have worked for you. I came to pray for moro than forgiveness. I came to pnj- for mj' re¬ ward."
It was for owaj-, that English village by the old familiar sea, yet, before his tones had died away, how there flashed back on ber a pieture ot it, clearerthan the sight of tropic land. She lifted up her eyes—the passionate gaze of old was on her face; she raised lier arms—they fell to their old place uiiou his neck ; sbe spoke to him.
Long years ago he had told her to wait for him till he came back. Like a child delivering up its trust, slie whis¬ pered—
"I have waited!"
That waa all. From him there onlj- came one passionate low utterance of her name. 'Then between them there was perfect silence, aud they stood be¬ neath tbe tropic trees os they had stood nlneyears before under the sea-clilf at Brent.
BAD HABITS.
A Story fob Sweabek.s.—A gentle man once heard a laboring man swear dreadfully in the presence of a number ofhis companions. He told him it was a cowardly tiling to swear so in compa¬ nj-, when he dared not do it bj- himself. The man said he was sv*t afraid to swear at anj- time, or any place.
"I'll give you teu dollars," said the gentleman, "ifyou 'ivill go into tbe vil¬ lage churchyard, to uight at twelve o'elock, and swear the same oaths which you have uttered here, wiien you are aloue with j-our God."
"Agreed," said the man, "'tis an easj- way of earning teu dollai-s."
" Weil, J'OU come tome to-morrow, aud say you have done it, and the money is yours."
The time pa.ssed on; midnight c:iiiie. Themau wenttothegrovej-anl. It was a night of pitclij-darkness. -As he en¬ tered the grovej-ard not a sound was heard; all was still .is death. Then the gentleman's words, "Alone witb God," conic over him with' a wonder¬ ful power. The thought of the wicked¬ ness he liad eommitted, and what he came there to do, darted through his mind like a flash of lightning. He trembled at his ibllj-. Afraid tp take anotlier step, he fell on his knees, and iustead of the dreadful oaths he had come to utter, the earntwt crj- went up—
" God be merciful to me a sinner!"
The uext day he went to the gentle¬ man oiiu thanked liim hii'Whiit lie liad done, and .said he had resolved uot to swear another oath as long as he lived.
A Ekautii-ui. PiiAVEu.—Lord, bless and preserve that dear person whom
Every young peraon, male and fe¬ male, should get and read and preserve carefully' " Timothy Tltcomb's Let¬ ters." Nothing Uke tbem for sense, earnestness, and strength, haveappear- ed since the days of Solomon.'; ; ITake as a sample ofwhat they are, this'tiilk on bad habits:
" It Is entirely natural for people to form habits, so that if bad habits be avoided, tlie good ones will generally toke care of themselves. I had no in¬ tention when-1 commenced these let¬ ters of saying anjrthing upon dogmatic theology, hut I take the liberty of sug¬ gesting to those who are interested in thia kind of tiling that If there be any¬ thing that demonstrates total deprovlty it is the readiness with which young men Imbibe bad habita. I have seen original sin in tbe sliape of ' o short six' sticking out of the mouth ofa lod of ten J'ears. It is strange what partic¬ ular poina boys and young men will toke to learn to do that which will make them miserable, ruin their health, . render them disgusting to their frlenda, and damage their reputation.
" Some ofthe fashionable bad habits of the day are connected with the use of tobacco. Here Is a drug that a young mau Is obliged to become accustomed to before be con tolerate either the taste or the effect of it. It ia a rank vegeto- ble poison, and in the unaccustomed animal producea vertigo, faintuess, and horrible sickness. Yet young men per¬ severe iu the use of it, until they can endure it, and then until they love it. They go about the streets with cigars i u their mouths, or into society with breath suflleientljr oflTenslve to drive all unperverted nostrils before them. They chew tobacco—roll up huge wads of the vile drug and stutf their cheeks with them, 'rhey ejaculate their saliva upon the sidewalk, in the store, in spittoons whioh become incorporate stenches, in dark corners of railroad cars tostalu the white skirts of unsuspecting women, in lecture rooms and churches, upou fen¬ ces, and into stoves that hiss with auger at the insult. And the quids after they are ejected! They are to be found in odil corners, iu out-of-the-way places- great boulders, boluses, blubs! Horses stumble over them, dogs bark at thera; they poisou young shade trees, and breolc down the constitutions of sweexi- era. This may be an exaggeration of the facts, but not of the disgust with which oue writes of them.
" Now, youngmen, just think ofthis thing! You are borii into tho world With a sweet breath. At a jiroper age J'OU acquire a good set of teeth. Why will you make of one a pdtrescent e.t- halation, and of the other a set of j-el- low pega? A proper descriptiou of chewing tobacco would exhaust the filthy adjectives of the language, and spoil the odjectlves themselves for fur¬ ther use; and J'et, you will acquire the habit, and persist in it after it is ac¬ quired ! It is very singular that j-oung men will adopt a habit of wliieh eve'rj- man who is its victim is ashamed.— There is, probably, uo tobacco chewer in the world who would advise a young mau to commenee this habit. 1 have never seeu a slave of tobacco who did not regret his bondage; yet, againstall advice, ogainst nausea and disgust, agaiust cleanliness, against every- con¬ sideration of health and comfort, thous¬ ands every j-ear bow the neck to this drug, and consent to wear its repulsive j'oke. They will chew it; thej- will smoko it in cigars and pipes, until their beii-rooms and shops cannot be breathed in, and until their breatii is as rauk .is the breatll of a foiil beast, aud their clothes have the odor ofa sewer. Some of them takesnufi'; cram the llerj-weed up their nostrils to irritate that subtle .sense wliich rarest flow-era wore made to feed—in all this working against Gpd, abusing nature, perverting senie, injuring health, plancing the seeds of disease, .iiid insulting the decencies of life ami the noses of the world.
" Sa muoh for the nature of the h.ib¬ it ; and I would stop here, but for the fact that I am lu earnest and wisli to present everj- motive iu inj- power to prevent youngmen from forming the habit, "or persuade- theiu to abandon it. The habit of using tobacco ia expensive. A clerk on a moderate salary luis no right to be seen with a cigar iu his mouth. Tiiree cigars a day, at five c^nts a piece, amount to more than fifty

"And Sl), after all the.ieyear."," cried a lady reclining on a cushioned sofa, "Henry Fitzgibbon has come back again!" " Ay, he has eome at l.i.it." " I am so curious to see him. AVe must go early, Mr. Travel's, and have a talk with him before tlie other people come. And witli regard to the girls. Miss Morton"—Mrs. Travel's raised her¬ self a.little, aud turned her head—"as my sister likes you to be earli-, you had better join us about eight."
At the far end of the room Margaret Morton sits writing, wilh a clieek that nine years liave paled, and a figure that their liand haa made more .sliglit. All the rounded comeline.ss of foriner days is gone; and j-ct that calm, rellned, strong face is beautiful now wilh a beauty it never jiosscssud of old. The dark eyes have a deep, tender look in them, sometimes sad, oftener composed ahd clieerful; for slie has wrought her way-out of that great anguish of her youtli, and it shades hcr years now on¬ ly witii a silent and subduecl sadnes.s, not any longer with pa-ssiouate sorrow and revolt.
Yet tlie toi'KiIiat caused that bittersuf- fering has been the leadingstar—the re¬ fining elementof her life. Its influence has led her in everything that she has done—in everything thai slie liasstrug- gled to become. Bbe lias beeu true to it in her whole heart and being iu spite of Philip's injustice, in .'<pile of herown renunciation.
She has risen to the position of agov- erness in a mereliaul's family. Hither and thither her lot has led he.-, during these nine years, over that wide Amer¬ ican continent. She is uow in a pleas¬ ant sonthern town on the coast of Flor¬ ida. She is all alone iu the world.— The kind uncle who brought her over is dead; the sickly niother dead, too, a year ago; her brother, the ouiy one re¬ maining, is a fortune-seeker iu Califor¬ nia, i

" You are used to a warmer coloring here. Ournorthern snows rob English¬ women of tbat."
"And yet England is a good way from tlie pole. And you are not like a snowdrop, Mr. Langton, at all."
" I am scarcely Euglish; my mother was au Italian."
"Was she? I did not know. And have you lived in Italy ? Ah, Mr. Lang¬ ton ! " she cried suddenly, in a quick, outburst of her southern enthusiasm, " Tell me about Italy. What parts of it do you know? Do you kuow Eome andVenice? Ahl tellmeaboutthem." Her request was eager, but he was very slow to do her bidding. Possibly his thoughts were occupied to-night with other things than Italy's falliug palaces and walls; yet presently her quick questioning roused him; he warmed and spoke. There, where the light fell on his faee, illumininz each kindling lineament, he stood and talk¬ ed to her of tlie mighty cities of the south.
She listened to him as he talked, lis¬ tened at flrst with a strauge thrilling wonder of delight, then presently with a nameless sickening pain. Oh ! she had striven all these years to reach up to his height, and he had left heriu the race, as if she had not run.
" And now, after all your European wanderings," Mra. Carlton said, "you have at last come here." He answered, " Y'es." " Are you going farther south ?" " No; I shall retrace ray steps uo\vt" " But not at once, I hope ?" " I may leave to-morrow.   If not to¬ morrow, still as soon as possible."
Bitting in thesliadow, Margaiet heard, and lifted up her head, swiftly, sudden¬ ly, driven by the starting cry of her sharp misery. She lifted up her liead, and her raised eyes saw—
Oh! tiiis was no stranger's look upon her—this was no stranger's gaze, send¬ ing its keen light through her !
" So soon as to-morrow ?   Wliy, Mr. Langton you will have seen nothing." " I .shall have seen  what 1 camo to see," he answered.
".'\.h, well! About that I canuot speak," she said, laughing; and there was a few moments' pause, which was broken jjreseutly by a sound of music coming tlirough the opened tloor.
" That is Mra. Travers' voice," Mrs. Carlton .said. " Mr. Langton, you must come and hear her; she has the finest voice I know. Miss Morton, will you remain here, orcome witli ua? Y'ou had better both eome."
She went forward towards the door, and Mr. Laugton followeil her. Oue moinent Margaret .saw tlie two figures stand upon tlie threshold; then ono went forward audthe otiier retraced his stejis.
He caine back iu silence, calmly and cpiietly, to the place he hail left, inlo Slai'garet's full sigiit—there where she sat motionless, her clasped hands as he neared her only closing tlieir fingers tighter.
He stood beforo her in silence for sev¬ eral moments; then, through the dis¬ tant music, she heard his voice.
" She said I should see nothing," he said abruptly. " She was wrong. .Shall I tell you what I have seen ?"
His eyes were directed towards hcr, but he did not wait for her to speak. Before she could reply he spoke again. " iShe told me to tell her about ruined cities. There are other ruins besides fallen stones. One such," and his voice sank intp infinite tenderness, " I have seen to-nlght^tf temple that I left en- tirer-^freallfftom God's'handa."

Xot long since, a middle-aged gentle¬ man and youug ladj- 4i??pened to be the only passengers staftiiig tliat morn¬ ing in the stage for J—. They were strangers to each other. The lady was carrying a large white rabbit—"a pet. Just before the stage stopped at a toll- gate, the lady asked the gentleman to hold the rabbit a moment, while she arranged some of hcr pacliages. He took it, coveied it iu his .fliawl, and huggetl itin !v manner quite fatherly. The gate keeper noticed it, .isked if it wa.s tlieir child and unwell. The geu¬ tleman replied, "Yes, our first born, the poor thing.'" Aftor the vehicle had re¬ sumed itsjourney, thegentleman hand¬ ed back the pet, saying, "What beauti¬ ful eyes—just like its mother's!" 'Yes,' respo^-yed the damsel, " aud ears just like its fathers!"
It became necessary, some time since, in the Criminal Court of Cincinnati, in o rder to render a boy witness compe¬ tent, to prove that he had reached the age of ten years, and h is mother, an Irishwoman, wtis called for that pur¬ pose.
" How old is your sou Johu ?" quoth the lawyer.
"Indade, sir, I dunuo, but I think he's not tin yet," was the reply.
" Did you make no record of his birth?"
" The praste did in thc ould country, wliere he was born.",
" How loug after your niarriage ¦was th.at?"
" Ahout a year; uitiy be liss.!'
" Wlien were yoii married ?"
" Dade, sir, I dunuo."
"Did you uot bring a certificate of your marriage withyon from the old country?"
"Hcj-, sir! .iud what should Inado wid a certilikit whin I had the ould man himself along wid me ?"
Ko further questions wero .isked.
A tall, keen-eyed countryman walk¬ ed into the court room during the pro¬ gress ofa trial. Stepping up to oue of the " ring," he requested that the pris¬ oners might be pointed out to him.— The lawyer he accosted being some¬ what tt wag, ]>ointed to the jury. The strangersurveyed them critically, when turning to his informer he remarked: " Well, they arc a hard looking ^et, ain'ttliey? I knowbytheirlooksthey ought to go to .Stale's Prison, every one

Two little sabbath school boys got very heated over a ve.^ed fiuestioii in their Ies.aon, and st;ii'l;led the teacher, whose back was turiied'lbr ii moment, with " I'll tell ye it's Mtiry Magazine and not Magdalene," and thrusting his hands deep aud desperately into liis trowaers pocket, and sung out, "Kow, what'il you bet?"

debt or steal. Therefore I say that you liave uo business to bo aeen with a cigar in your mouth. It is presumptive evi¬ dence agaiust your moral character.
" Did it ever occur to J'OU what j-ou are, what you are made for, whither you are goiu"' That beautiful bodj- of yours, in wliose construction iurtiiite wisdom exhausted the resources of its iiigeuuity, is the temple of a soul that shall live forever, acompanion of angels, a searcher iuto the deep things of (-rod, a being allied in essence to the diviue. I saj' the body is the temple, or the tab¬ ernacle, of such a being as this; and what do J'OU think of stufflng the front door of sucli a building full of the luost disgusting weeds tliat J'OU can find, or setting a alow match to it, or ftlling the chimneys with suufl'? It looks tu me much like au endeavor to smoke out the tenant, or to insult him iu such a man¬ ner aa to induce him to quit the prem¬ ises. You reallj- ought to be ashamed of audi behavior. A cloan mouth, a sweet breath, unstained teeth, and in¬ offensive clothing—are not these treas¬ ures worth xueservlng? Then throw away tobacco, and all thoughts of it, at ouce aud forever. Be a man. Be de¬ cent, and bo thankful to me for talk¬ ing so plainly to J-ou.
But there are other bad habits besides the use of tobacco. Tliere is the habit of usiug strong drink—not the habit of getting drunk, with most young men, but the liabit of taking driuksoccasion- ally in its milder forms—of plaj-ing with a small appetite that only ueeds sufii¬ cieut playing with to make you a de¬ mon or a dolt. Y'ou think j'ou are safe. I know you are uot safe, if you drink at all; and when you get offended with the good friends who warn j-ou of your danger, I know you are a fool. I know tho grave swallows daily, by scores, drunkards, every oue of whom thought he was safe while he was forming -his appetite. But this is old talk. Ayouug man in tliis .ige who forms the habit of drinking, or puts himself in danger of forming the habit, is usually so weak tliat it doesn't pay to save him.
I pass by profanity. That is too of¬ fensive and vulgar a habit for any mau who reads a respectable book to indulge in. I pass by this, I say, to come to a habit more destructive than any Ihave contehiplated.
Young man! you who are so modest iu the presence of women—so polite and amiable; you who are invited iuto fam¬ ilies where there are pure and virtuous girls ; you who go to church, and seem to he such a pattern young roan; j-ou who very possibly neither smoke, nor chew, uor snuff, uor swear, nordrink— you have one habit ten times worse than all these put together—a habit that makes J'OU a whitedsepulehrc, fair without, but within fuil of dead men's bones and all uncleanliuess. You have a habit of impure thought, that poisons the very springs of your life. It may lead you into lawless indulgences or it may not. So far as j-our character is concerned. It makes little difference.— A young man svho cherishes impure images, and indulges in impure conver¬ sations with his associates, is poisoned. There is rottenness in him. He is not to be trusted. Hundreds of thousiands ofmen are living In unhappiness and degradation to-day who owe their un¬ happy lives to an early habit of impure thought. To a young man who haa be¬ come poisoned in this way, women all appear to be vicious and weak; and when a young man loses his respect for the sex made sacred by the relations of mother and sister, ho stauds upon tlie crumbling edge of ruin. I believe it to be true that a man who has lost his belief in woman has, as at;eueral thing, lost his faith in God.
" The only proper way to" treat such a habit is to fly from it—discard It—ex¬ pel it—fight it to deatli. Impure thought is a moral drug, quite as seductive and poisonous to the soul tis tobacco is to the body. It preverts the toue of every fibre of the soul. One should have raore respect for his body than to make it the abode of toads aud lizzards and uueleanreptiles ofall sorts. Tbe whole matterresolvesitself into this: A young man is not fit for life until he is clean- clean and healthy, body and soul, with no tobacco in hia mouth, no liquor in his stomach, no oath on his tongue, no snuff in bis nose, and no thoughtin his heart, which, if exposed, would send him sneaking, into darkness from. the ¦ presence of good .women."..
Little Hans had a great adventure last summer.   His father is a Norwe¬ gian and tlie captain ofthe sailing ves¬ sel "Imraanuel."     When his father first told me the name of his vessel, I ilid not like it, because it did not seem right to namea ship with a name given to our .Saviour, but when I thought of its meaning-" God with us," it seem¬ ed, after all, a very beuutiful name to give the vessel that must need God's protection    in   many  fearful   storms. His father's name was Tjostalsen. That is his truo name, and though it may seem hard to pronounoo it, you can see liow a Korwegian name looks when it is printed.   Captain Tjostalsen was go¬ ing to make a voj-age to Archangel, whicii J'OU will flud on the map, in the northern part of Bussia, a port on the White Sea.    Tbe Captain decided to take hia little Hans with him, who was now about ten years old, not at all trou¬ blesome, and very pleasant compauy. For some weeks they sailed northward along tho coast of Norway, till they had gone   quito beyoud North Cape, and then they sailed eastward aud a litlle aouthwaj'd toward tho eutitmco of the White Sea.   It  is verj' easy to trace their course on J'our map in the geog- raph.v.   After crossing the Arctic Cir¬ cle tliej' passed bj' tho Lofodcn Islands, which are a chain of mountaina with sharp peaks, all in a row liko the teeth ofa sawor tlie jaw of a big shark.   You will see ou j'our map "the JVIaelstrom," ju.st at the southern end of the Lofoden Islands. Perhaps you have read in your old leading book, a description of this maelstrom, as a terrible whirlpool that swallows up shil>s and whales.    But there is no whirlpool like this descrip¬ tion on the coast of Norwaj', nor any¬ where else, I thiuk.
All theae strauge .¦^tories como from the bad reputation of a certain current between two islands of the Lofodens.— When the tide is llowiug out between tlipse two i.=!land.s, aud a strong wind drives the sea against it, there iaagreat confusion and to.?siiig ofthe   waters in the narrow strait, anil  .small  vessels might be swamped if caught liere jnst at tlie time of the cotnmoliou.   But lit¬ tle Hans had uothiug to fear from this out-ol-the-w.ij- current, for their course kept them out at sea and onward to the north.   Everything went wellallaloug tile coast of Norwaj-, aud even after tlie.v had begun to see the shore of Lap¬ land.   Butas they drew near the wide clianncl wIucIi penetrates liussia and is called the Wliite sea, thej-saw some¬ thiug that made them quite uneasy.— Vast flelds of ice were .stretcliing away here and there in the distance,  moved bj' wiuds and tides and currents, some¬ times iu one waj-, and sometimes in anotiier.   Wherever there was a space of open water in the tlirection of Arch- iingel, there the " Immaiiuel" improved the opporlunitj- and pressed on the sail. There were a great uumber of other vessels that fouud themsels-cs surrouud¬ ed in thc samo waj', aud as all were bound for the .same port, they .were all in the same track and trying to do the same tliing.   Their pl.in was to keep in tlie water along the edge of the fast ice. That isjust what Dr. Kane and Dr. Hayea, and the Arctic navigators try to do in goiug up Bafliu's Baj-.   Fast ice is the ice tliat is along tlie shore, frozen to the land, and uot moving with the water.   This strip of fast ice, along whieh little Hans was sailing, was flve or six miles wide—tliat is,  you  must walk five or six miles across this lee be¬ fore J-ou would reach the shore.   Now there were some  two hundred vessels iu sight on the night of the ISth of laat June, as our little frieud was ou the deck with his father, watching tho fast ice uot flir ofl'on oue side and great fields of floating ice ou the other.    You see the space of open'water was becoming smaller aud smaller every hour.   Ifthe wind and tide should change, then the gi'eat ma.sses of floating ico would be swept oil" to the distant aea, and all these vessels would be free to keep on their way to Archangel.    But tliere WIUS no change in wiud or tide; closer and closer came the great white mass, and at laat  the auxious sailors saw a noble Englisii three-master go down.— TIiB floating ice drove her helplessly agaiust the fast ice, the crew jumped to the frozen shore, and iu a moment the broken vessel fllled witli  water  and almost disappeared amid tlie crushing ice-fields.   Although it was night, it was as light as any day,  for  there are six weeks of suu-liglitat tliis season in tliese northern regions.
The wreck of tho three-master w.is onlj' the beginning of ruin. .Several others were crushed in the same way, and eitlier disappeared as the ioe open¬ ed, or else hung as iu a vice. iSome of them went dowu and their y.irds caught on the ice and thus kept them from reaching tiie bottom. The weaker ves¬ sels wero crushed, but some of the stronger were pushed out of the water, and laj' high aud drj'ou tho fast ice. Some twentv or thirty were wrecked that night. The vessels that were not yet injured kept their flags Uying, aud thc sailors of thc wrecked vessels took refuge on the ones still sound. Ke¬ member, the iviud was blowing a gale ami the ice ofteu whirled about iu vast currents. Many vessels w:ere thrown against each other, teariljfe away oue another's yards and bowsprits. Capt. Hansen's vessel, the " Jiunoraia," was driven intothe hull of the " Christina" and the two went down together. At last the turn came for the " Immanuel" and when the ice first struck her and pinched lier sides, it was ao .sudden and powerful, that her deck bent upward with a snap, throwing littie Hans iuto tlie air. So his good father told me, and among all the wonders of that ter¬ rible scene, it was nothing great. Lit¬ tle Hans was disposed of immediately, sent oft'acroas the fast ice to the shore, with the carpenter. Hia father stayed snme hours, in hopes of saving the ship if the ice should open. A day had now passed amid sudi scenes ; eighty or ninety crews were on the icoor making their way to land. Jietween eight ana nine hundred men lived on tliia barren shore for manj- days, in liuts and tents, and feeding ou provisions from tlie wrecked vessels that were driven ashore. About sixty of the two hundred vessels were lost. Iu a week or two the fioat- ing ice had all disappeared, and passiug vessels took tlie unfortunate mai'iuers to Ai'chaugel. Little Haus will never forget the great disaster of 18G7, in tiie White Sea, and the wonderful Provi. dence that spared every life, amoug the great number tliat were exiiosed to so much sufl'ering aud danger.—N.
