A atrip of bard, lytliow Jifcbl, tkiried tbe boriaoo, and, above tbat, a dark mate of clouda obacured tbe iky, ezcspt where Dearly overhead I tbe Hi oo u ttruggled to foree ita way through. , 'He wind, laden with tpray. blew with auch violence that it waa no easy matter to ataU'l OU lbs o,,. kaach, akai. wa. ware gatiiered.

We we-t all auffieieotly aeqaainted with the ceaat to know tbat there waa no hope for her. Nearer and Bearer aba etict, rolling i tiroadaioe on, uutii ker large bulk waa eaaily dtatioguiabable. It waa a luil aiied I tbip, probably returning from a long voy-1 '.age. Sbe bad Leer, d nutated by tbe gale, laud waa now heipleatly drilling lo dettrue-' tioL. j i "Half an Lour more and aha will be on the reef," aaid tbe oldest of tbe little group. "Aud what will the poor aoula ou boatd , do then?" I "May tbe Lord have mercy ou ibetu," replied the old man, revereutiy baring hia head, "lor you aea ba none "' "Can uolbiug be done with tbe life boat!" j j"Perbapt tome of the Uvea may yet be I tared." j "It wouid be tempting Providence to go I out iu tucb a tea," aaid the old nit a.

Clad tu the aimple dreea bentung ,b9 b"dk4 weatber beaten naber-, ercbiet batily paaaed over utr bead auu tied under bcr euin, Alice Lealer bad rufbed to tbe beach at the brat boom ef tbe gun. 'Ihe found bad ,,tu(,k . eBj , usr .,rt. gone loria so aee a. oia loiiune aviusa toe broad teas. With bim weut the heart ot Alioe Lester. They bad beta brought up together boy and jiirl; aud together bad almott ripened into man aud woman. Our little neighborhood looked upon tbemaa. dettiued tor each ether, and when Harry I went la aea, it waa with the tacit under-) standing tbat bia return would make Aliee a bride. Iu thit faith aba had lived through tbeae tour year.; at first receiving letters from bim at distant iutervalt, aa opportu nity offered to a tailor oa diatant seaa, aud then has "ig nothing for a weary length of time. Put the tileace wat at laat broken, though the news oame ta her in an indireot manner. A couain of Harry 'a bad beard from biiu. He bad been gold seeking iu California and Australia, bad gathered a oomlcrtable turn ef money, and waa about to tail for bis native tborea ia Uo good ehip Columbia. He apoke no word of Alice, DOr aaid anything about flailing the village, 01i facl euUued aome aurprite to the villa gera, but noue to Alice. Sbe aaw through the inuoeeut little elratageiu. "He wishes to take me unawares, and has kept alienee ao long that 1 might uot gueaa at bit altered fottuues. Pear Harry, we eball aoon meet again." Then eame tbe newt of tbe Columbia She bad been apoken by a steamer, and waa bound to a neighboring port, which the would reach in a dey or two. Even now abe might be off tbe village, on her passage up. Front time 10 lime throughout tbe da,, Alice bad eluabed lhe rooky bluff, aud lookod out to ecaward, but without seeing tbt expcol.d itil. Nig.t8lo.ed in, dark and murk;; end ere long the sudden tern pet descended on the tea, and lasbed luiomry. Atizioua oonri panted by, and then eame the tienal guo. Tbe sutpenne became unendurable, and the rushed down . . . . . ' . . to tne Deaob, where we were already gath e.A. '6 Father," .be urged, "do not let then nerish without . effort.

In native AKM desperate energy. Hastily tyiag her hand - kerchief oleser under her chin, and gath - erug oer or en up ao aa to imptue ber movements as little aa possible, she turned to her father: "Quick, father! the key of the boat bouse. You and I will go alone,- if there is no one here wbo will risk bis life. I do not want the thrieka of yoader ptor wretob et ringing iu my ears forever, because there was no attempt made to ttve ibem!" At thin, we all volunteered, and tbe life boat waa brought out tud launched. To our astonishment, no sooner bad we got afloat than Alioe waa 'eated iu tht stern, wi'.b tbe tiller 10 her bands. "I am neither afraid nor inexperienced, aud 1 cannot remain on shore." Then, beudiag over to her Cutler, the aaid, iu a lower tone: "I feel su'e that youder ship is the Columbia.' We all beard the wo'dt, though not in tended for our ears, and bent to tbe oara with increased vigor, Iu a little village like oura, family newt was common prop erty, to that every oni in tbe boat knew what interest the bad it tbe tbip. Alice Letter had bee) brought up by the tea, and frequently Bccmipanied ber father in hit fishing expeditioni. tier mother bad died whilst Alice was young; ao tbat, being left in tbe cire of her fither, ber edueatioo bad partaken af man masculine ebarao teristica. Sbe eould aandle a boat with as much .kill at moat of the young men; and the kind of life she ed bad endowed ber body will physical itrength, and her mind with indomitable oturage and coolness in tbe face of dancer, It waa a desperate struggle to reach tbe tbip. Tbe huge wavea spun ua around, ao tbat it taxed tho ttretigib of Aliee to tbe utmost to keep the boat t bead to hi wavea. Three timea we rested oa our out for ao instant, in dtspair, but etch t'me we were spurred ou to renew d effort by the voice of the indomitable girl. Aa tbe moon oo caaienally shone through the rigged edges of a rift in tbe stern sheets, her face pale and re.olute, lips aet firmly, hair flying wildly from beneath tbe handkerchief, J eyea nxea uuenangauiy oa toe neipietssbip toward wbieh tbe waa steering. All at once her white lipt parted, and tbe bent ferward, aa if to avoid a blow, i waa at tbe how oar, aud turned to aee what bad happened. Tbe abip as but a ahort distance ahead of us, motionless for a few moment, and repeatedly bid from eight by the buge wavet, tbat awepl over ber front, stem to etero. Sbe had struik en the reef, and eould hold together ia that terrible po sition but for a few winuiet. We palled desperately, for there waa no time to be last if we wished to be ef use. I eould tee Alice bending with every stroke of Ibe oar, and ber lipa moving in aileut prayer. We aere almost elose lo tbe wreck when a fearful shriek went up from it Every nu turned bit head juat in time to' eee the ship part iu two, and elide off ibto the seeibintr abyss of water. Instinctively, we rested ou our oart. For the love of God!" burst from the lips of Alice, wbo, pale as death, clasped Ihe tiller it b botb bands, ana nxea ner eyes oo the spot where tbe wreck bud gone down. We needed uo secood adjuration. Erery nerve was strained to ita utmost, aud a few minutes brought ut in the midst of floating pieeetof wrtck, with bere aud there a hu man being eiiuging to plauk or spar, and bufleliug with tbe death that rode tbe wavea. iuiee men were re.cueu nuai mo yaauing gulf ot waters, and many more i weut down iu our tight without our being able to save them. Alice eater' scanaed the features of tbosc taved, but fa.kd to find Ibe face "he sought. Suddenly a voice bailed tbe boats from out of the darkness to starboard At the Bound Alice started, at if touched by an electric shook. Bring ing tbe boat s head rapidly rouud in tbe di rection of tbe voice, she exclaimed : "Pull, friends, for the love of Heaven! That it Harry Norton!" lu an iostaut, tbe beat waa lying before tbe atorni. Not a mau on board but had known aud liked Harry. Aud waa be not coming home to marry Alice, tbe favorite of tbe village? In less time than it takes to relate it, the boat as among a maas of floating wreck, and the exhausted form of Harry Nortou was drawu on board, aud sauk exhausted across a seat iu tbe stern. Alice bent over biui.cbsfiug his bands, and feediag ber eager eyes ou his well-remtm-bered features. Slowly be anclosed hie eyea; and then, before be oould reoognize tbe faee that bent over bitu, turned and grasped the arm of the only sailor near bim. "Quick quick! my wife! save bcr'. She it on that piece of wreck. We all stopped, in oousternation, aud atared at Hairy Norton; for it wat be ibeugh in the excitement of tbe times, he bad recognized none of us. "A tbousaud dollars if yon will rescue my wife! For tbe iove of Heaven! quick men!" "Hia wife!" Alice stood ereot, ber bands folded ou ber breast, ber eyee staring wildly at the face of tbe rescued wan, aud ker face white wilb horror. "ia Heaven t name, quiek, rueu! Five tbousaud dollan for the rescue of my wife! Look! there the is!" We looked in tbe direction :o pointed, and could tee a fluttering dress ou a large piece of wr.ek, that wan touting widlj - tbe beefy tea. Not a Ouer was ttirred. it! Old Jaeob Letter at length upoke. Sba Sha' , he king of tbe gratp ef the pleadiug man nointed out to the drifting wreck; '-Not twiee five thounaud dollare would "I -.".- - .tave tbatpiree of fluttering etlico out there. i, .v1 l 7iv; . if.,.

Tbat wat our anawer 1'urniBg to look in the direction of the doomed women, lie taw Alice, and recog- nized her. Propping on hia knee-, be clung to her drcta: , "Alice, piead for mt-1 I have wronged you; but sbe it innocent. Have mercy on her for tbe memory of old dtyii, I beg mercy on ber. tartiug into lite at thin appeal, the grasped the tiller, and brought the bout around once more. Then, pointing toward tbe wreck, the exeUimed: "Pull for your liven. Save litr, if you swamp ibe bout in the attempt '." There was no gaiunayiug tliia order. A few moments brought uh to the wreck, on which the wife of Harry Norton was lathed; aud a few moments more sufficed for the cutting of the eords, and tbe taking her on board. Sbe was a sniull, delioate thin;?, scaroely more than a girl. Her golden ringlets were heavy with salt water, and ber eyct closed mi :t . , , ine urescueu garmeni eunging cioseiy to her, revealed a shape of exquisite ty muietry so far as could he seeu iu occasional slants of moonlight. Alice took the small, limp figure across ber lap, and used every effort to bring her to life. The tiller wat surrendered to one of tbe rescued tailors, wbiUt aba busied herself with her office of love. Harry Norton ouoe came to assist her, but a mo tion from Alice sent him back; nor did be again venture to interfere. At laat we reached the shore in safety, and our passengers wete hurried off ta the cottages tbat were teady to receive thcra Alice would not surrender ber precious burden to any one, but bore her in ber strong arms to old Jacobs cottage; and laid ber eu her own bed. Harry followed at a short distance, speaking to be one, ana shunted by all. For more than a week did May Norton it sounded atraoge to oail auch a fairy, lit tle creature Mrs. Norton stay at the bouse nf Jacob Letter. All tbe strong leve that Aliue had treasured up in ber heart for Harry, waa now lavished ou bia wife. Sbe couid scarcely patt itb her for a moment, and every wish of the euany-eyed May wat gratified before uttered. May Norton nev er purpected tho relationship tbat existed between her husband and her loviog uurte, and Alice carefully avoided everything tbat could lead la a diaelosuro of that fact. Harry attempted cuce or twiee lo meet Alice, and come to some explanation, but tho steadily avoided him. cy-and-by tbe story of Harry a marriage to May Norton came out in tbe gleeful talk of the girl-wife. She waa the only child of a friend wbo had helped Harry in bia ttrugglet for fortune. 1 be girl bad become attacbea ta bim; ana wnen ner lamer msai leaviug har frieudless in the far-off oity of Melbou.ue-wbere friendless atraugers were too common to attract attention or pity, be i had goue to ber, aud made ber bit wife, j She ioved him devotedly; ard hit old aflao- lion for Alice -which had probably cee' ! been more than that of a brother-bad; been supplauted by an earnest lore lor tbe , shrinking girl that elung to him for protcc- I "on- I """"i""" " ,v"b"' ,;v" " ua bad become reconciled to him; ta there waa uo baud of friendship exteuded when the tempest threw hi in among us there was also no ene to bid bim "Uod- feted" at pallium. The leave taking be tween Alice and her fair guest was most af feotiouate, and Mary Norton promised ear nestly lo visit hertair hostess again. Harry held out his hand with a pleadiug look, and A lieu placed hers iu it tor a moment, lie was about to speak; but she hastily with drew her baud, aud passed iu doors. They saw each other no moie. From that day Aliee Lester was a ohauged woman. Sbe ua lougcr roamed over the rocks as ot old, aud the sight ef the waves made her shudder. Pay by day she faded away, until, less thau a twelve month after the wieck of the Columbia, there was a vacant chair in iaester a cot tage, aud a uew mound iu the little grave yard. Soon afiuiwatd, a aostly marble cross was placed at the head of tue tuouud; aud oue day a tall, dark lean, and a small, goldeu haired womau stood baud-iu-haud al the loot ot the grave, looking at Ibe mar- bl. cross, oo wufeba garuu- of flower. bad just been hung. ! Ibe next o uward-bound Australian packet bad aaaong its passengers Harry Norton aud bis wile. In most quarrels, there is a fault ou both sides. Both fliut and steel are ueces tary to tbe production of a spark ; either ol Ibem may hammer ou wood forever, and no bre will follow.
