"I will try to '.'link so," she replied, with a smile a sniilethat vniiishid the inument she lclt her sister's presence, and memory Il' in to lirin up one hy one the events of the two years ju.t passed. The (-.iris had been left iirphan. nt an prly age, Imt with property sullieient to supply all thoy could ever nee I, not only of mci-ssities, hut even luxuries. Their guardian controlled and manni-vd the i.ioney, and they lived in his house, under the can- of his good-hearted maiden sister. K'hel had always been lame and delicate, but Maj'ian went out into the world, seeing and enjoying iU licnuties and pleasures. Walking swiftly along to give her fust music lesson, she drew a sharp breath of anguish, as memory too faithfully recalled nil the glory and happiness of a tour in Italy with a party of friends, just before the downfall of fortune. At the very outset they met Mark Turner, hnndsom , iiiroliigont, and, to the youni; girl, a very king among men. He joined the party, and tingled her out as the object of his r Mentions. The routes they travelled ho bad been over before, and he could point out all that was beautiful and interesting. It was a golden season, nml, the girl's heart surrendered in spite of womanly pride mid reluctance. Hut she had no case to feel shame, or to believe her love unsought for. One mellow, moonlit night, in an old Neapolitan g .rden, he stretched out hit hand to her with sudden, passionate words of love ; and so eloquently did h j plead for the tweet gilt of her future lifo VOL. VIII. that she could noti.withh.ild the promise, to be his-wife. "You shall n nor regret it! You shall'bo happy!" 'lie cried with a lover's confidence. "I Jim happynow !" she whispered, Hushed and shy, but radiant. They vtanderoil along among the flow ers, feeling that heaven lay about them; but the mtxt morning the girl received had news trom 'home. S'io only made out clearly that her prcseni-: was needed, and with on one regretful sigh for the bright ilrrat. i she had cherished, she began prepar Itions to return to Kagland. Turner came t!i begged t' be allowed to accompany Iter, but. she gently re fused. "I shall cmm-iin a few weeks, whether you send for n: or not. We must linish this interrupted tour together, Marian," ho suggested. ishe returned home to find their guar dian dead, and lle ir forluno gone swept away in si une ill-advis-d .specula tion. The nub leu I nly sought a home with relative, and Marian Uay found lniself among the world's workers, nd with a helples iuv.ili 1 to take care of. Helpless, dl We my I Nay, she was the only hope and comfort, ol poor Mari an's heart ; for her h amlsoino, wealthy lover can-e not, mid tie- letter she wrote to him cil. lining their reverses of for tune remained 11 lanswcre 1. Sh tried to think of him with contempt ; to hold the love that failed in the hour of her bitterest ne. id as valueless; but she only succeeded in tormenting her ow 11 faithful loving heart, which, in spite of pride and reason, cuing b that short, sweet ro malice with a hold death alone could break. AH day sin- walked from h.mso to house, through the biMcr cold, while the fiws hung dull an I heavy over the metropolis. It was dark when she reached home, an I hurrying eagerly up stairs, she pushed open the door, anxious to be with her sister as soon as possible. Tiny were careful with fuel, with everything; necessity forced them t study nconoiuy, and Marian expected to Iiml the room in darkness only a s-auty b andfiil of eoa' in the grate. She entered to liiul a glow ing tire, and the table set with .l.untiess, while the little tea kettle steaiiied merri ly on the hob. "Kthel !" she cried, hastily throwing olT her hit and 1 loak, ami turning towards her sister's bed: "Oil, Marian, si-t-r!" cried 'the invalid, ill a voice trend l ug with str inge emo tion. Then Marian b it her heart leap ill .1 suffocating tlirobof pain and i.ipturc, for out of the scmi-il'arkiioss of the corner Mark Turner adviiaeeil, with outstretch ed hands to meet her. "Marian, have you no welcome, for me i" A chilling remembrance of nil his sih nee and neglect swept over her, and pride rose in arms. Certainly, I - I welcome you, Mr. Turner," she said, sillily, .stepping back a little. "What! have you forgotten?" he cried, in keeiet disappointment. "No. sir; it is becau-e I remember, that I can give mhi no friendlier greet ing. I wonder that youc in expect it, alter such long neglect and coldness. I can not pass over such slights." "Hut Marian, he did imt get. your let ter; and he could not coin" w in 11 he in tended, for a hurt received muong tho Alps kepi him a pri-mier for several weeks, and th 'ii le- ha I to search and seal ch, mid has just found us" said Kthel, half raising herself up, the crimson lire, light giving even her p ile face a roseate tint. Marian's face changed, and her eyes mutely ipiestioned her lover's. "It is all true. Could you believe I loved you so lightly!" he murmured. And this time she did not shrink back when he approached, but gave him th welcome he craved. Kthel fell softly back among her pil lows, her delicate hands clasped, her eyes radiant.

Then, too, in i general panic the preservers are often lied -r buckled carelessly, and a few waves soon knock them olT. The india rubber suits cannot be put on s ipiickly.

As a rule t-he departure from the ship is:i lii-h and deuce tako the hin lei most. Hence a life-preserver must be easily put on and have no complication whatever. They would be perfectly useless other wise. I hive thought of all kinds of iiew-fanglc I life preservers, bu' none are worthy of adoption, ,,r rather tlu-y are impracticable.
