stamping tny net impatiently. " For

.-tii-iifie,
What is taoiv sensible thati mar-riasre"
-iio.-h! You are love-sick, old tel-

-If yon mean by that, Phil, that 1 i
have experienced the power of Cupid,'
you a it, right ; and ia one short week j
I hope to make the lovely ebject of my ;
airections the wife of my bo-om. j
But, even before that mischievous nr- j
chin had elone the work, I never had a :
thought of tramping the stage of Jife ;
ia 'single bles-t-dness.'' You may call j
me nonsensical, Morton, or what you j
like, but, honestly, I never "near a man !
say he has no intention of ever marry
ing but 1 think him either a liar or
very foolish." j
I Thank you for the compliment," I
replied driiy.
i "Now don't talk in tiiat way, Phil,
; for you know I would not rumple that
; temiier of yours for anything. I
i think I fully understanel what I am
; talking about; and, if yon please, sir,
I I win wager a line new hat tiiat you
j are a married man before you are thirty
i vears old."
"I will accept the wager, just to
please you," 1 said, and we struck our
palms together to make it good. If
1 am a single man on tny thirtieth
birtliday, you are to give me a tine
new hat. If previous to that time I
find myself in the meshes of matri
mony cice cerno." ?
Correct," returned Fred, with a
touch of enthusiasm."
Iniian. .No! I woo d wair untii tieath
ivou!d unite ine to tny golden-haired
fair one. 1
A cold tremor crept through my
frame a- the meiaory of that ncver-to-1
re-forgot t,e"n night, when the ill -i'Uvd
stcanur sueeumiel to the withering
i.itath of the lire-king ru-hed over my
mind. It was an awful sight; chi'diva
stre.uui;;g, wo.ni ti wringing thtir
hands in .mental agony, while passen
gers, ai'or and .:ve-rykiHiy on boanl,
were cry it g aloud to heaven for mercy;
ami yet, tin-, liny elements rushed on
! ami wrapped the doomed vessel in a
.sheet of Hume. Poor little Lillian, ttn
; able to find her father, came to nie for
j proieciioa. In ' endeavoring to e iiui
her fears, i aliiiii t forgot my own; and
1 e'-ta never forget that beautiful face,
as she lifted it so trustfully to mine,
i lighted by the raging lire in the back
i ground. It was then and there i to'd
; her I lovt,tLhc-r; and nest ing hi r curly
he:fdioii my 'breast, .-he bur-t into
1 tears and tofd me that which caused
me to clasp ner 111 my arun anil kiss
her ro el ltd lips.
And tvetr w hile ileaiii was staring us
ia the. face, I felt a momentary thrill
of joy. V e stood clo-ely together,
awaiting the dreadful cri-Ls gsiyh-g wo
woind ilie together; and yet, when we
sprang overboa ril lockol ia each other's
arms, we somehow became separated, j
and she was gone! Never afterward j
w as i permitted ro look upon the dear ,
creature who placed so much confi
dence in me in that trying hour, and '
who gave her heart into my keeping '
ere cruel death foivvi r Mopped it- beat
ing. How i was sa veil I can hardly
teii. I rente. nix r nothing after jump
ing overboard, thl I found myself in a
boat with the captain anil a portion of
the crew, who win rowing rapidly
away from the scene of the disaster.
All this was called to memory by the
subject on which Fred and I had been
speaking; and, as I continued to think,
1 felt sin e he would lose the wager and
at length be .-atislUd that I meant just
w hat I said, itud knew just what 1 was
talking about.
"Pine-da -el" shouted the railway
pirter, as the train .-topped at our des
tination ju-t as night w as beginning to
envelop the earth 'in her sab-e mantle.
; "Come, Phi!," said Fred, weuiu -t
move our pegs nimbly, for we have yet
to dress for the party, and i am ex
pected to he there and" ready in time to
receive the guests."
And w e jumped out.

Hut my second thought was that' it '
could, not. be, ami then 1 laughed at the j
tuea as peneetiy ridiculous. ; How
could it he Lilian? she with whom I
parted with years ago, never to meet
again in this world slie with whom I
leaped into- the lltthomles-s sea, and
whose golden hah I had seen floating
on the dark waters for a single instant,
and then disappear beneath' the. roiling
biilow.s? No, it could scarcely lx; the
; lost iove of my boyhood, unless the
Almighty had seen fit to work a mira-
cle in this modern time.
j And yet it must be she ! was my
i next conclusion, as I looked up and
; saw her again.
; The niiwie was playing now, and slie,
; with flushed and smiling face, was
' glkling hither and thither to its lt iutd
notes, murmuring,, some jesting Word,
a it apiieafwd, every time slteeame
! opposite Fred, fsurely, it luwst be
' she, and .yet how - eould it be ? How
I retty she was ; how sylph-like and be
j witching ; how 1 liegaiito be restless,
and my cheeks and forehead lx gait to
: bum with a kind of dry feverish heat,
i as I continued to gaze, enchanted and
j bewildered, at the dancing fairy. r
I Ha ! that laugh, that sweet, rippling
t laugh ! it was Ik i-s exactly, and if tlris

j must be some near relation. Unable
I to bear longer the torturing suspense,.
I luriitd to a gentleman who isat near

1 should think tiiat it is Miss Bell

Ah, Belle Gordon!" I mused.

The line, residence of 'Sipiare Lacy
was very brill iaiitly iiiumiaated ; ami
when Fred and I, arm hi-ttrm, .enter
ed the line, spacious lira whig rooms,
they were all aglow with wax can
dies, line dresses, smiling faces, and
bright eyes. The gay throng assem
bled there, was soon in silence by our
entrance, anel murmurs of admiration
anihve'eome for Fred, of course--
dweit on every Hp, whilst many of
his old acquaintances came forward to
givet him.
"Phil, this is my father Mr. Mor
ton, father," said my companion; and
the next instant a jovial looking old
gentleman, with gray hair and smil
ing countenance, was shaking f me
warmly by the hand.
There seemed to be something famil
iar in that lienevoicnt face, that at
tracted my attention, and I e-otihl not
help scrutinizing it closely for a mo
ment. P.ut I concluded that it was a
freak of my imagination inasmuch as
it was hardly probable that 1 had ever
before met 'Square Lacy.
; After making me acquainted with a
t few of the chief persons, Fred whispcr
; ed in my ear :
i "There, Phil, rush in among Via
' and secure a partner, lean tell you
from their looks, those ladies are wait
ing anxiously for you to make a selec
tion from among therm. Quick, the
quadrilles are already forming."
" No," I ret umed,ha king my head,
"I wish to be alone for a w hile. I
; will dance the next set;" anel turning
away from him, 1 repaired to the cor
! ner of the room, the re to gaze at the
! different parties the room contained.
I From inv seat, I watched the hand-
adored lady of whom he has so often
spoken to me as his future wife, and
in praise of - wh& he had always
waxed eloquent."
How like she is to the one who
sleeps beneath the ocean wave ! May
hap Tis her sister. 1 never heard her
surname, and consequently could not
teii whether it was Gordon or not.
Forgetful "of my position, and for
getful of the brilliant throng around
mi', t reeant-d my head wearily upon
my hand, and ai.ownl my thoughts to
drift over tuv vast life. 1 was living
j over again those happy days spent
I with her upon the sea ; I was living
j over again those brief niouieiit when
! we stood together on the forec-tle
while the quarter deck was wrapped
ia flames, when, in the tnielst of my
fright, she Rrht a thrill of joy to my

"And tiiis is the lady of whom you
have so often snoken in sucli inginy
complimentary- terms?" I inquired.
"The same," he replied. "Havel
praised her too highly ?"
"No, indeed: nor have you ever
done her justice. But my object 111
was merely this; 1
forming him hy 1 had no intentlow
of ever marrying, and accepting his
wager so willingly. :
When I had told him all I left hhu.
and went to seek his sister Lilian. I
found her in the, conservatory, among
the flowers, herself the fairest of all.
She was sitting on a bench, with her
head inclined, and her handkerchief
pressed to her eyes, weeping tears of
joy, perhaps.
I went and sat down beside her
and drew her into conversation- J
told her how 1 thought she was deatf
during all the long years tluit had
passedsiuce we parted on the rolling
deep; and she, in turn, told me that
she am i her father had been cast upon
an island, and subsequently saved by
a passing ship. We talked a long
time about those 'bygone days, ami
then I took one of her little hands in
mine, and said in an earnest, pleading
tone: .-:''.'.' y
"And now, Lilian, you remembe
how Ave stood together on the burning'
ship, while the scene around us was
rendered awfully sublime by the ragr:
ging fire ; you rememler now, as we
xfood waiting for the doom that seem

She uuishcd, sighed, and leaned more
heavily on mv trembling arm.
"Are j-ou the same noble Phil of

" I am unchanged, darling, save
that through love for my lost oiier 1
have shunne'd female society.'
"ltien take me; l m forever thine,"
he murmured; and once more 1 held
the little lieauty weeping on my breast-

The dark horrors of war are relieved
by occasional gleams of humanity,.
w hich make one feel all the more sad
dened by the record of strife between
men who ought to be brothers. Dur
ing the investment of Metz it was com
mon for the German sentries at the
outposts to leave a iiortion of their ra
tions for the famished sentries of the
besieged army. A day's rations were
also willingly given up on the capitu
lation. One of the war correspondents
of the London press describes the fol
lowing scene :
This afternoon I . witoessed a very
touching scene. A French Roldler of
the thirty-third line regimeut, belong.,
ing to the corps of General Frossard
had been made prisoner at the outposts.
He is a native of Jouy-aux-Arches,
where his wife and children now re
side. . On his way to Corny, where the
head-quarters of the prince are now
situated, he asked permission to be al
lowed to see his wife and children.
Need I say that the request was imme
diately granted? The i poor womanr
half delirious with joy, asked to be al
allowed to accompany her husband at
least to Corny. This was also aoeeelecr
