The Brighter Day.
When dreary weather, cold and wet,
Produces "blues" and melancholy,
Look back o'er life and don't forget
.That most of it was bright and jolly.
There never was a day of rain ,
'But sunshine followed soon thereafter,
And gloomy mood or aching pain
Gave way to health and merry laughter
The bells of Time
"Will ring their chime
Of mingled joy and sorrow;
Yet the refrain '
In hopeful strain,
Speaks sweetly for tomorrow.
When clouds of darkness hang their pall
Before the future you're exploring,
.With patience wait for them to fall,
In faith their threatening looks ignoring;
Their "silver lining" soon will show
As Fortune's breezes blow them over,
And just beyond the rosv glow
Will light your pathway through the
clover.
The ringing bells
Have tolled their knells.
And now proclaim with pleasure
A sunny day
That's come to stay,
Filled high with precious treasure.
George E. Bowen.
The
Lighthouse Keeper's
Daughter.

sucu xorce as to sniver

the glass.
An instant only the young girl felt
alarmed, then she smiled, for she
knew what had caused her momentary
fright. Some bird, in its nocturnal
wanderings, attracted by the glare of
the beacon, had flown headlong to its
death.
Poor thing I" murmured Estclle
compassionately, "perhaps it is only
stunned. I will descoud and see."
Harrying down the short flight of
stone steps the maiden issued forth
into the night and went in search of
the wonnded bird. She found it
where it had fallen ; and, picking it
up carefully, returned to the lantern
room. A glance convinced Estolle that the
victim of its own rashness was of no
ordinary species. l3he examined its
plumage more closely, and was
astonished to find a piece of thin
paper firmly secured to one of tho tail
feathers by a fine, hair-like wire.
Relieving the feathered messenger
of its burden, Estelle opened tho mis
sive and read,
"Legitime has learned that you are in or
near Aux-Cayes, and has sent the Men-of-War,
Belize and Tausant, to attempt your
capture. They sailed this morning from
Port-au-Prince, July 10th.
A few moments, Estelle contem
plated the important despatch, while
the unfortunate bearer lay dead in her
hand. Then it dawned upon her that
the warning must reach its destina
tion and she must speed it on, for was
not her own father on board the Mer
cedes? And another, a young 6ailor,
and the girl's heart gave a quick bound
as she thought of tho brave mariner
who had asked her to be his wifo
when the cruel war should draw to a
close.
Quickly thrusting tho paper into
the bosom of her dress, and drawing
the light lace mantle, which was sus
pended to her shoulders, over her
dark, luxuriant hair, Estclle again
descended the stairs and hastened to
a sheltered cove, where a small skiff
lav moored to the drooping branch of
a mango tree.
She loosened the painter, grasped
the oars, and pushed out into tho bay.
As the courageous girl rounded the
low point of land the outlines of
patriots' vessels, the Mercedes
Jacque-Mal, became visible.
Estelle pulled straight towards
hammocks, the forme, but when within a few
on board the or tne cratt which she sought,

'Dauerer, mademoiselle ?"
Hyppolile, the Insurgent General of
Ilayti, was making brave headway
against Legitime, the oppressor.
The patriot forces, or rebels as they
Were then termed, had gradually hem
ined the national army within the
precincts of Port-au-Prince, the capi
tal, but the nnvy was yet free to cruise
alongSe "coast and harass the towns
and villages of the enemy.
Seveu well-armed vessels comprised
the fioot. This squadron, however,
failed to have everything its own way
on the high sea9, being held greatly in
check by Hyppolite's two men-of-war,
the Mercedes and Jacque-Mal, under
command of a brave American who
had volunteered his services to assist
an outraged people.
lhe mode of fighting adopted by
the admiral of the Patriot General
was exceedingly annoying, not to say
destructive, to .Legitimc's fleet. lie
could not meet force with force, and
therefore was obliged to resort to
strategy and artifice to accomplish his
purpose.

Mercedes would dash in among the
fleet, deliver a rapid fire from the only
two guns which he had, and be away
again before the eyes of lhe drowsy
Haytians were thoruaghly opened, and
long ere the steam in the boilers was
powerful enough to move their en
gines, the patriots would be leagues
distant, seeking a safe retreat in some
of the numerous bays along tho coast.

One night, with bis two small ves

Ere tho girl could answer, her boat

by a tall, nne-iooking man, wearing a
long, broad-bladed sword, and with
two frlitterine revolvers ' thrust into

"Pardon, Monsieur Commandant,

seaman. .
"Monsieur," Interposed Estelle,
"Francois Mauiquat's duty is here
with you. I came alone, and fear not
so to return. Au re voir I" and with
out further parley the daughter of tho
lighthouse keeper descended to her
boat and pulled away in tho darkness,
thankful that she had not boen too

Ere Estelle reached the cove a rock
et ascended from tho deck of tho. Mer

sort to get under weigh and put to
sea, where there would bo plenty of
room to manoeuvre.
"When the girl reached her station
in the lantern-tower she saw tho two
vessels of the patriots move slowly
out of the harbor. An hour later tho
boom of a gun reached her cart, fol
lowed by another, and sho knew that
tho battle bad begun.
Oh, how she prayed for tho success
of her friends. All through tho night
tho bravo girl remained at her post
of observation. Occasionally sho
caught sight of tho stroaming trail of

a cannon was almost inccsaaut.

then if that were not successful he
would givo it up. Accordingly he
went to tho doctor's offico and found
the doctor out. But inside tho door
hung the customary slate. On it the
boy wrote, "Call at street,
