After be went away to tbe uaval academy,
Emilj s letters were aometbing that be
looked forward to twice week aa un
failingly as to Wednesdays and Satur
days themselves ; and wben be made bis
fiyiug visit Lome, it was to Kaoily that
be vent with tbo recital of all hie hope
and augers aud joyp. 'Emily,' Lo f aid
ouee, in a startled way, 'I believe I Fay
my prayers to you.'
Jleing in this state of mind abont
sweet Kxily Travera, ycu can imagine
bU wrathful cencteruution when, on re
turning borne from Li Crht cruise, hav
ing beeu for some time without lett"rs,
and oomirjg in by tbe long window in
stead of the door, be caw a fellow lean
ing over her chair a tall, dark, hand
some man, l.androme but for a car
serous bis fort bead leaning over ber
chair and holding ber band, while her
backward and upward gaze was s
brightly fond as bis manner was devoted.
For a moment Norman etood Fpellhcuud,
aod as be Ktcod, be heard I-nily pay :
'Oh, bow can yon aek me, ifjwurd
dear? Y u knew we never, never can
be parted.'
To think was something to which Mr.
Xorman -pherson never condescended,
lie rather excelled in feeling. Aud just
now be felt as if tbe only thing in the
world to do was to knock this varle-t
down ; accordingly ho took one step and1
did it. And tben, aeizing Emily's band
himself, only to throw it from him with
a wild and angry outcry at her peifldy,
be was gone ; and he never kuew again
where be wsr, or what hrd hopponed,
till l.e fuiud hi'nielf on blue wutcr for
a throe years' cmite, with plenty of
time to eat bis hftrt out, cud profoundly
e-nvirre.l that be was a victim tf tLo
blactost trenchery, und that if llni'.y
were fulpe, then a'l tie w.-T'd wo Wiv.
Six mouths f-f that bitk'r diet, Tiitli the
swift , mad scene before bis eyes, charg
ing ouiy to flow tbe man falliLL', Sophy
rnjjuiu fur-, il with a shriek, and
limily etai.J'jg fnis'u t'j stone an Khe
l't'.d itartod fi ou ber chair, aud tbe opea
beartcd and gay youth Lad bccjmo a
taciturn and gloomy man, without a
word to epare, ready for any dangerous
fiervioe, aud never half so plear.el as
when some black tempest followed
them, aud the thick darkness fcbut them
in like the curtain of death and jndjr
meut that they were soon about to lift.
Yet when a twelvemonth had passed,
bis b'tterness began to bo something
les in degree ; occasionally a ray cf
fenpe would break upon bis gloom, ard
the thought would ome to him that,
alter all, be bad never onee spoken of
marriage to Emily Travers in so mary
words ; be had taken everything for
graflted ; be bad left tbe way open for
any other beggar that chesa to come
along. Why, he asked, had be ever
doubkd Emily? Sbe loved Lim to dav
like a brother, as rbe bad alwsys done.
Laved him Lie a brother I Not she, be
would reply to himself, when be bad
felled ber lover to the ground, and bad
flung her from Lim like a snake. She
baJ reason to Late him, he paid : of
course ebe did bate him.
Life looked dark ecough to Normau
Mnepherson at that time, aud you rju?y
be Hire that ho made no effort to set
things right : but with the persistency
of bis Scjttit.li rar-e, be fitted his ba"k
to bear the burdeu ; and when tbo three
years' cruise was over, be made no visit
to bis home at all, but got another term
of sea serv.'c?, much to the relief of
Eome one else who wished to stay ashore,
As for Eiily, p-he bad Lot been ture
that uight that bhe was not beBile her
self. Talking to the young naval e flieer
who was goiug to marry Sjpby- a
Feeret ele had kept at Sjpby's retjuirc
mrnt, and ooncerning which she b'il
oftcu drawn on her facer for Norman's
phaMireand surprise when fbethould
bo allowed t3 tell him ad JreBing biai
affectionately, as sLe felt toward cue so
fcoon to be ber brither, ami atswerir"
hip Direct of tr.kinj S )p!,y away by trg

npli.'u-J arm Lad fallen, the hLriek'u.
S 'pLy Ksd 111a to lift tbo heal o her
senstltfis lover, aud Norman was fone.
What it all UK-ant the could not coiij.c
ture, rjid f-he was too Btuaut-J to r.iako
the tll'.rt. She went about as if fclie
were a moving Rtaluo ; everylhiLg we;-;-ed
ta go oa a long, 1odj way beyond her
view ; biie was raiting fur a word that
did not come; and when day after day
and week after week crept by, aud no ex
planation came foin Norman, aud fche
kiicwnotLing of Lis whereabout", exejpt
ti'C ellieial putcinerjl, she realize! that
ber world bad olinpsod like a pricLcl
bubble, and phe collapsed with it.
When I'.'uily enme up from that sick
nef s it was JiLo ouo emerging from the
dark valley of the shadow of death, aud
peme f the ebadow ptill clung to her;
there was a Jock on her pilo face as if
phe wrs gaziiig into a lfnd beyond.
Sophy was married, and went awny ; ber
mother eloped the bouse aud took E n'ly
to Europe, Bc'tlingdown at last in a lit
tle tov.n on tbe M 'diterraneaa phore;,
where they could pick up their reattertd
threads, aud see if they were still Amer
icans ; and the days went by bj quietly,
with the si', w rising and falling of the
blue water of the tideh?63 s'.a like an
indolent breath betide them, that they
hardly knew bow many of them papsed.
If they were not happy days to Emily,
neither were they entirely unhappy ;
only there seemed to be nothing to look
forward to, and, except her mother,
Lothiug to live for.
Njr was there any very giddy variety
in Norman's days, out of pight of shore,
the puu coming up and going clown as if
by machinery, and he only glad to be iu
harbor for tbe sake of putting to sea
again.
One day, bcicgn Asiatic waters, tbe
lIic?rsof the At!nwk, that bad paused
on ber way from a more southerly har
bor, came on board, and as they stepped
on the deck, almost the first perton that
Norman saw was a tall, dark, handsome
fellow with a petr across bis forehead.
In an instaut be Lad turned upon his
heel, aud was striding to another part
of tbo bhip, before Lo knew what Le was
doing, or eu uld make up bis bewildered
mind to action iu relation to this mau,
who mut long nince have been Emily's
husband, as be reasoned. But he was
tot so quick that another foot did not
come striding after, and a band was laid
upon bis shoulder in a manner that
made Lim wheel about at once.
Well, Mr. McpherPon,' said the1
stranger, in r great honest voice, ac-
e rding to all the laws of sre'oty, I be
lieve you owe me some satisfaction, aud
I Lave come to claim it.'
'Vj all means, sir,' said Mr. Mac-
pberson, mechanically, with a bow.
And then tbe stranger broke into a
hearty laugh.

claimed, 'about yonr outrage to your

Ho Lad come ashore one day as u ual,
on the afternoon, of the morusg when
the frigate entered pc-rt, and lad taken
a e'roll through tbe little town, una bad
lost Limse If in the upper part o: it. The
lowering weather of the morning bad
ripened to a drizzlirg mf.A at (apt, aud
now it was raiuiug in a RteaJy down
ponrthat the wind cinght up mblanting

umbrella Lad interlock cl with another,
like two horned e-eaure doing buttle.
'A thcusanil paruon-,' ho exclaimed,

moment, both of the umbrellas were
tailing e ll' upon the blast and careering
r.nt to sea but what eired tbey who
saw them in that gathering gloom, as
Emily and ho were e!al,ped in one
another's arms, ind life was whole again?
They were married the next day ; and
although, a ye-ar afler, Njrman left the
navy and entered bu iucps, it was not
till that morose mau had earned the re

An e finer of the Humane society who
has been investigating the transporta
tion of cattle from the far West to the
Ea tern market, finds that the animals
are frequently five days without food,
water or rest : jolted alxmt the country,
which causes them to become feverish,
and thus impairs the blood, so that
when tbey are eventually killed and tLe
beef put npon tbe market it is actually
nufit to eat. Of tbe large number of
animuls which die in transit, most of
them find their way to sale, cither as
meat or ookmg lard.
