It was In a private parlor of a hotel .111
tho Provinces. Two men sat nt a woll-
sprentl breakfast tnlrio.- The younger hail
just pushed hack from tho tnblo with an
Impatient movement.
'No,’ he said abruptly, ‘I cannot eat, I
cannot drink. If I believed in presenti
ments, I should say I felt a warning of
something disagreeable if not horrible.’
‘Well, then, my dear nephew,’ said tho
older, ‘ns you do not believe In such things
why not make yourself comfortable and
enjoy your breakfast? You arc not to
start until to-morrow, any way, you know. ’
Tho young man roso lrom (us sent and
walked to tho window, tlivowlhg it opoh
and looking out Into tho frosty, brilliant
sunshine. Tho air wits intensely cold,
nnd reddened Ills cheek instantly. Ho
drew in Ids head, saying—
.‘I Bhall start this morning. Thero’s aol
ingto bo a storm, nnd I must go. Will
you accompany mo to tlio slnthmy Tho
train shirts in nn hour. >
The uncle shivered nnd drew his dress
ing-gown closer.
‘No,’ said he, ‘I’ll not lenvo tho house
Unless I’jn obliged to. I did not leave
England to cot frozen by.n Canadian win
ter. I did not know you were so sentimen
tally foolish. Alico will not thank you
for coming g day sooner. Women don’t
like a bridegroom around when the wed
ding preparations are going on, no matter
how much hi love they are. Take my ml
vice and stay hero until tho tltno appoint
ed for you to start.
Robert Russell, tho young man address
ed, listened.with bare civility to his com
panion's words. What was such ndvice
in comparison with tho urgent cry of his
whole nature? Ho had icItTEnglaud throo
weeks before, to claim the womnn of his
choice, who had been a year in Montreal,
whither she lmd emigrated with her pa
rents, currying with iier the lovcnnd prom
ise of one in whom she believed witli utter
devotion.
Russel’s undo nnd adopted father had
nceompnnied him, and now sat smiling nt
the impatience nnd whims of youth.
‘There is a storm In tho nir, in spile of
tho sunlight,’ Russel said, still standing
by the window. ‘I should not enjoy being
blockaded in by snow on my journey. ’
‘Probably not; hut you niiglit expect it
in tills climate.’
‘Well, I shall take Alice bad< to England
as soon ns possible,’ Russel said, with Ids
hand on the door. ‘Good-bye, uuele, then,
good-bye.’
Russel was soon speeding from the town,
liis eyes looking eagerly forward over tho
vast Stretches of snow, an if he would ont-
stril) even tho train that bore him.

Russel -looked, felt his fnco grow palld
in spile of his hopes, Ids youthful energy.
He did not fear tlie storm white on. the
ears; lie knew they would getto their des
tination before tlie storm would ho suill-
eiently advanced to retard them much.—
But he remembered tlmt twenty miles ho
must go in a cutter after reaching llie last
station, for Alice waited him altho resi
dence of a relative beyond Montreal. Her
aunt hag pot-spaded her to lmvo tho wed
ding there, where wealth could givu its
glow to tlie ceremony, nnd what girl could
resist such nil Invltatldhi
If she were only iu Montreal, murmured
Russell, ns the snow finkcB began to drift
slowly downward.
Soon tlie air was filled with] lino shnrp
particles, ltgrcw colder instead of warm
er, or apparently so, for tho wind rose and
whirled tlie snow fiercely.
It lmd snowed two Honrs when Russell
alighted nt tlie station of Montreal, it

lie was half benumbed by cold and sit
ting so long, lint 1m could not wait. Rea
son told him tlmt he was a day early, and
inightcasily stay in the city till to-morrow;
but some, feverish, morbid haste urged
him on, it was impossible for him to rest
quiet ft moment-
lie stoot’
the waiting
to tho house occupied by Alice's pnreuts.
Arrived at tlie houso ho learned with
dismay Hint Alice lmd left two or three
hours previous. Oppressed with fearful
forebodings he hunted on, taking tlie road
which tlie servant supposed gor driver lmd
selected. As lie emerged into tliu open
country tlie runners of tlie cutter sank
deep into the snow,' The horses struggled
desperately through Hie drifts wliil-j tlie
blindingslorni nmlhemuuliiug cold almost
overpowered him. To arouse himself
from tho lethargy which ho felt was tlie
precursor of death, Iiq stepped out of tho
slclghund plodded on bosiilo it. For hours
it seemed to him, ho travelled alternately
walking or riding, Hie animals lie drove
being almost exhausted.
Suddenly, with a suort of surpriso or
alarm, his horses stopped nnd threw np
theirhends, tlieireyesstartingin tlicirsnok-
cls nt something Indistinct in tlie gloom
abend.
There is something infectious in the ni
nny of nn animal, and Russell felt Ids
cheek pale as lie moved slowly forward,
leaving tlie horses standing there.
A sli uildcr, like the first chill of impend
ing doom, shook tlie young man ns lie saw
Aciittci overturned in the snow. lie was
close to it before lie could mnko out what
it was. There were no horses attached—
tlmt lie saw nt a glance—lint tlie lugs, cut
short oil', were fastened there. The snow
lmd blown away from ono sideof the sleigh,
while the other wns deeply imbedded, lie
leaped upon tho rupiier, nnd hurriedly
Ones tlmt could not respond to Ids cure
And yet slio wns not dead—n Ihint bren
just nighod across hlselmek.'
Was It thus lie lmd thought tocrcot I
profnlscd with? Ho could not think—L

Ho boru ids burden to Ills own cutter,

Anything but intonso Wo Would lmvo

Ho roughly elmfed with snow hor hands
nnd face; but lie soon saw Hint severer
measures must bo tried; tlmt tho lotlfnrgy
wns too deep. .She dimly felt tlmtflerco
friction, for she .moaned nnd seemed to
shrink from it—a wordless request to be

Russel lmd iorgotloli the cold for him*

Again lie lifted her In Ids anus nml step
ped nut into tho snow, letting tier stand
Desido him, then trying to make tier fight
her way oil, knowing Hull if bIio could
once he roused she wns saved.
At first she fell down helplessly, sank
inanimately with no, wish to stir. But in
a moment Ills ceaseless cll’orts lmd some
ollbet. nnd lie could compel her to lise her
muscles slightly, though her head dropped
in an unknowing stupor.
Rmsol thought lie lmd never suilbred
before.
He tliought tlie pnin and sorrows of Ids
life were crowded into that opo night.
By slow degrees, almost hopelessly slow,
cOu'sclnusncBs, and horrible snlibring re
turned.
Ills fitce was pule and sick, ns lie knew
tlie ngouicssho endured. But pain wns
the signal of lifo, and now would ho de

At Jnst sho looked hi him with recogniz
ing oyeSi and when every tiling else-had
failed, lovo readied tlie fountain of crim-
Bon, nnd sent a wave of its red to her face.
AVeak, nnd suticring, she reclined upon
his nrm, unable to move or speak.
Could ho keep tho life tie lmd saved,
through n much longer journey?
When lie left the city, there were a few
houses scattered by tlie roadside for two
or three miles. Tho dim glimmer of their
lights ho lmd seen; Imt since then he lmd
noticed nothing—it wns n wnsto through
which ho Wns riding, with no lamp of hope

lie would die with her; lie nonld not
live when tlie denr face wns beneath the
soil.
A quarter of n mile further on, nnd he
saw, Hirou->h tho storm, a dark object by
the roadside. It was a building of some
kind, mid it could shelter mem. He turn
ed ids horses’ bonds tlmt way, mid plung
ed through the snow to tlie dui'r. There
wns no door, ■ It wasadismautb'<(tegUlit
witli its door gone, mid its only little win
dow broken out. But it wns better than
the fury without, mid in another Hyc min
utes Alice was‘sheltered from the wind.—
With painful nnd patient fumbling he suc
ceeded in fastening tho bufiiilo skin ill front
of the door-way, thus forming an ihsulll-
cient barrier. Then he drew from his
pocket Ids cigar-case mid matches, anil
lighting ono of,the latter, looked eagerly

Thu’wliitc-fingerod, fair-faced English
man, with a power tlmt was more like fu

flew up tlie brand chimney, tours of joy
actually started from his eyes'.
Exhausted, happy, lie knelt nt the feet
of Alice, and hid Ins face in her hnhtls.—
Witli that reviving warmth, came a littlo
strength to her weary suul. She leaned
forward, n smite on her lips and in her
eyes, and murmured—
‘It was heaven Itself who sent you here,

Two hours later, a gray ilnwn was strug

blue encircled the west; anil the wind
moaned in lower tones.
Tlie old hut was golden witli tlie wood-

It is a melancholy sjiectaclo to behold n
free government die. The world, U is true,
ts lilted with evidences of decay. All na
ture speaks tlie voice of dissolution, nnd
tho highway of history nnd of litb is strewn
with llu- wrecks which. Time, tlie groat
despoiler, ha* made. 'But tho hopes of
the future, bright visions of reviving glo
ry, nro nowhere denied to the heart oriiinn.

liberty. He listens mournflilly to tho au

will blossom nnd bloom ngnln. Hosecs
the sky overenst witli tlio angry frown, of
Hie tempesr, but lie knows tlmt tlio sun

Connecting link between dust and Deity,
liitters .wearily, wearily onward, under the
weight ofyeiirsmid pain, townl'tl tlie tomb,
imt now briefly his life lingers nromjd the
dismal spot.
It is filled witli tears nnd grief, nnd tlio
willow nnd cypress gather around it with
tholr loving but mournful embrace.. And
is this nil? Not so! If iv plan die Blinll
ho not live again? Itayortil the grave in
the distant Aidunn Hopoprovidisanelys-

Maker who walked upon tlio waters and
hade tho winds be still, left no ordained
apostle witli powers to wranch npnrt thc
jaws of,national death, and-reieaso tlie
victim gf despotism. Tlie avail of tho
hetu't-hrpkcn over the .dead is not so sad
to me ns the realization of lids fact. But
all history, witli a loud, unbroken voice,
proclaims It; and tlio evidence nf wlmt the
past Ims been is conclusive to toy inind of
wlmt the future will he. Wherever, in the
