From sea f nd shore the (-c!:oos g ive tajk no harsh, soundc'i than the water dashing on the beach, and the Pong o' the sailors, Rut high above tho scene in the- deep blua Heav ens a pale star glimmered here, and there. Tho lights gleamed upon the ivater. There was only a ship upon the I oceau in its sid repose and silence, and a wondering figure on the shore', whose h 'w's'eps heavy with care and trouble, went to aud fro to break tho calm. As a disappointed man, Gerard Alwin Badly looked h,is last upon the falling of this calm and lonely twilight, and on the distant hills of his own home.. !- J lie next norning he would sail for . another land. Litter thoughts wfira ... . o-. m Ins heart, as he tried to console him self ; but with a, strange consolation, -tlio only solace he found was in return ing to the deep grief . which was hU alone. He' ceased to walk, and stood gazing idly upon tho water. Standing thus the night fell darker upon him ; he hears a step, and ho soon has for las companion his old and valued ser vant. ' ' ' . ' Ia it you Frcdt and did eomo to say farewell ?' , you Taking from his pocket a package ho gives it to him, but beforo he has tiuie to speak, a dainty note is in his grasp, slipped thereby the epu'ck fingers of Fred.

'I promif3 yon all this said Fred. Goodrbye, Master',' ' Farewell friend.' . The s crrow at parting with this friend of his childhood, seemed to remind Gerard of one who has promis ed to be a friend to the' needy his thoughts become centred on that Di vine source and there in the presence of cnly the stars', he knelt on the cold damp ground and prayed from 'the depths of a grief stricken heart- prayed for Mothers and Fiona's ht.p pinnss. , ' : " " " . . Jn a few short hours the noble ship in which Gerard Alwin sailed, was tracking tho waves with silvery foam, is white sails swelled out .almost to bursting with .the .favouring, gale, and the lightning of triumph 'was flash ing, from many a bow. Floria Ilivers was only eighteen. She was a 'dark orcntal style of beaut v, a tall slender figure, and with a pliant grace rarely seen in one .so young. What more could we ak for than the great gifts which fortune liad bestowed on this young girl? Her home was a' palatial residence ; a great grey stone house, half hidden in tho magnificent trees, which formed groves, and border ed either side of the broad ave iue lead ing to the house, a green park opening from the drawing-room windows, 'iij which played a silvery fountain, whose driping waters were music tothe ear. The cool shadowed grounds looked like a very paradise in their freshness. But with all this Floria was sad j still there could be seen marks of vitality and energy in the small white hands now pressed closely together. Her eyes bore marks of. excessive weeping, yet even in their langour there was resolution and will,, and in the delicate curves of the firmly closed mouth there was "decision. In her hand she held the last words of Gerard Alwin, who had the day be fore sailed for a strange land, and this had been given her by dd Fred. She read ft again and again.'- 1 He says he will always think of ne as his beacon light, began Floria, as the star of hope beckoning him to .wards future greatueis. Good bye, .and in all the dark and weary fhours that shall come to you, J pray that a light such' as you, have kindled may shine into your soul, . . . , , - She arose and; crossed the room gracefully, not pausing 'till ;shc stood facing the mirror and the features there in reflect cdj " s - !

She could not forbear another fit of weeping, a3she thought of the mother, whom she had loved with a devotion unsurpassed, and to whom she had con fided so implicitly all her cares and misdoings, but two years airo the change had. come,' and she was now lying he- I 1 neathiho green sod. And her heart became softer and purer is she looked from her window and beheld the marble shaft, reared in menlory of ' that moth er, and over her trept a K feeling of peace and comfort, there was a . cpiiet peaceful look in her dark eyes and the,, lines of keen sorrow were already soft ening round her lips and brow.' j ; . r.J, ;.. . .. : .

' Congratulate you,' said oneof liis" companions, the old. father is an in grate to trust his childs happiness toi your keeping, I have seen his daughter,' and a splendid womlin she is, worthy a man of honor instead of the base un principled wretch that you are.

If you will only hold your peace until that time I .shall then have no fears for my betrayal,' said Manly, And looking at the time, he found thqt only a half hour remained in which to finish his game, and reach the train.
