BY C. D. CLARKE. “And you must not marry me ?” he said. “I cannct,” she replied until you have done something to prove your-elf truly a man, and not an idler in the great battle of life. I am only the light-keeper’s daughter,’’ she continued, calmly, and though my education may have been better than the rude but kind people among whom my life has been passed, I am not fitted to live in the society of which you are a part.” “Do you suppose the time will come when I shall ever be ashamed of your father, the brave old man wbo has passed his useful life in the service of his country upon the sea ? No, Na thalie ; when 1 say I love you, I mean it, no more, no less. If you think you can love me, give me an answer now.” “ I love you already,” she said. “My darling?” He would have caught her in his arms but she waved him off.” “Not yet, Alton Somers. I must have time to think of this, and see whe ther I dare trust my life in your hands.’’ “I will wait,” he said. “And you shall see if I do not win you yet.” Nathalie Darrell lived upou tho shore in the light-house on the point. Her father had sent his beautiful daughter to a school in Philadelphia. It was was on the shore that Alton Somers found and loved her, and when he was down on his fi-hing excursion to the sea beach. He lodged with a man nam ed Melton, not far from the light house, and he loved to be always near her. I shall not tell you how they looked. Let each put his own ideal in their places, and be satisfied. It is enough that he was Nathalie’s type of manly strength and beauty, and she was an angel to him. Mr. Melton took the gun from his hand and placed it behind the bar-counter. “Any luck ?” he said. “Yes. I sent a hoy up with some birds that I shot, and they must be in the kitchen now. Good evening Tom. How do things go with you ?” He spoke to a red-faced man in a waterproof suit who was smoking by the window, and who had nodded to him. “ Good enough ft-shin’,” replied Tom. “But, dod rot everything else. Nothin’ stirin’ iq the wreckiu’ line. ’Tuiut that we want the poor critters to go ashore you know, but we do like ’em to git in danger, so’t we kin get a little salvage. That’s about the way it is with me. ’ “ You shet up, Tom Peters,” said another man in a sou wester, “You’ll git a blow before mornin’ that will blow I the roof off your bead.” j “If a blow does come, and there is any ship in danger, remember that I make one of your boat’s crew, Tom Pe ter’s.” “Yaas. Yer too good a man in a boat not to like to hev you,” said Tom. “Are you thirsty ?” said Homers. “Naturally so. I ginorally am,” said Tom. “Then have something to drink. I never touch spirits, as you all know. Give me some cigars, Mr. Melton, and give the boys whatever they call for, and put it in the bill. So you tliiuk there is acbance for a storm, Billy Fran cis ?’ “Yes, I, do squire. Give me some of that peach, Dick. I reckon wheu a man Las got the rheumatics in hisbones as I have, he knows when a storm is cornin’ on. Alton nodded round the party, and walked out on the porch to smoke his ci gar. Then for the first time he saw that a change had taken place. The atmos phere was heavily laden, and the sky was fast turning to a strong, leaden hue. The breeze was rising too in fitful gusts, coming from the sea. Al ton was enough of a sailor to understand the signs, and he knew that Billy Fran cis was right. He sat there alone, smoking, and looking at the sky, and thinking of the time when he first met Nathalia. It was a year before, when he was sitting in the shade of a great rock, and saw her rowing by, her bright hair floating out behind her, unconfined, and ber clear voice singing a merry song, He had loved her from that moment, and was determined to make her his wife. He had followed her and from that time people along shore understood that his purpose in coming now was to see and win her. lie was not at ease, for he feared that her mistaken notion of society would make her decide against him, and he knew that she had an indomitable will, and would never yield if she bud fully made up her miud. She had gone up to her room, but he heard her iu the parlor of the light-house; the old piano was opened, and she began to play. Not the finished songs which ladies inflict upon suffering humanity now, hut ten der touching ballads, gentle and gay, such as eharm the heart and make it softer. Alton rose, weot to the window where he could see her singing by herself in her sweet, low voice such a song as George Arnold might have written, in the days when he trod these sands, and woke the echoes of the broken harp he left behind. For George Arnold will never more touch the heart by his simple melodies, since the sods of the valley lie heavy on his breast. Altou did not go to htr, hut sat iu the shadow listening intently. Night came on, but she still sat at the instrument with her head upon her hands. “I must not intrude upon her,” he said. “Let her decide as she thinks best. If it goes against me, it will only be another disappointment, and my life is full of them.” He rose and stole down toward the beach against the gale which was now roaring in from the sea, scattering the spray before it. He stood upon a high rock looking out upon the gathering gloom, when a brilliant light flashed out from far across the water, and was gone Thou came a low sound, like distant thunder. That flash came from a gun, and he knew that a ship was in the of fing, in distress. He turned and ran back toward the house, shouting to the men. On the way he met Tom Peters, bareheaded just as he had darted out at the first alarm. “Did you hear anything ?” he gasped. “A ship in distress,” replied Alton. “Call out the mpn, There goes the! gun !” Tho wreckers eauie trooping out, aud made for the shore. Some carried dry tinder and matches to start beacons, and others picked up every stick they could fiud which would burn, to lay upon the flumes. The minute guns flashed quickly now and they knew the ship was driving in at hor best speed before the furious gale now blowing. “If her sticks ain’t the best seasoned timber I ever beard on,” said Tom Pe ters, “she’s gone ! The Lord have mer cy ou her, if so bo she strikes on the second reef. No oue on ’em would ever git to shore!” Again the guu flashed, this time nearer the shore, and the beacons began to light up the darkuess. All the people along the shore were on the beach, men women aud children, and they could hardly stand up agniust the wind, which cut the crests from the heavy waves, and sent the waves into the face of the crowds. For two hundred yards from the shore they could see plainly a suc cession of white-capped waves rolling in wildly toward them, and the white-jib of a schooner gleamed before their eyes and she struck. From the place where they stood, she was wrapped in darkness, except the bowsprit. The next wave lifted her and threw her further in, dropping her with a crash on the rocks. Every bolt seemed to start under the terrible shock, and there she hung, the merciless waves beating against her, and tearing away tho very sheating every moment. Again and again tbe huge rollers came in, and every one, of them on reced ing bore away some portion of the wreck. The wrecked schooner seemed to comp’ain at every blow. Her crew, eight in number, ran out upon the bow sprit and waved their hands towards the shore for aid. “Run out the boat,” cried out Alton. “Do not let us stand idle here.” Many willing hands ran her out in to the surf, and as they worked Alton was praying : “Oh, God, by whose will I must per haps lose my best and dearest on this desolate shore, grant that my hands may aid in saving a life, which is dear to someone though never dearer than her love to me!” They worked hard, desperately. As often as they thrust out the long boat so often the cruel surf dashed them back, bruised and bleeding on the shore. “This will not do,” said Alton, “ if we iutend to save yonder drowning men. Take your places all wbo go with me, and let those who stay on shore, givo us a start through the surf. Get out your oars, and as soon as you touch the water, pull as you never pull ed before.” They took their places at his order, and poised their oars, and little Willie Darrell, Nathalia’s brother, took his seat as coxswain. The had lad the same clear bright, eyes as his sister, and sun ny clear, hair like hers. Twelve strong men seized the boat and ran her out through the first line of surf and then fell back out of reach. The oars dashed into the water, and eight muscuiar frames were thrown in to the stroke. All upon those on shore gave a loud shout, for they knew they had conquered at last. A feeble cheer came back from the men on the wreck. Just then a mountain wave rose high in the air, and the spar was buried. When it receded, two forms less were seen upon the spar “Look sharp thus e in the bows,” cried Alton. “Keep your on the water, Willie. Do you see them ?” “Here they come J” shouted Willie, who was wild with excitement. “Un ship oars, and stand by to take them !” As the two men who had been wash ed off the spar drifted up, strong hands seized and dragged them into the boat, where they lay thoroughty exhausted.

SNO.B. ed out upon the sea, Nathalie Darrell watched the struggle. She saw her hero, calm, unmoved by any feeling save compassion for tbe men who shared bis peril, working with cool courage to save those precious lives. She had been harrassed by fears that if she allowed herself to follow the impul-c of her heart, she might do the man she loved a wrong, in suffering him to marry a woman beneath him in social rank.— This had been iter doubt. Ho lovel her now; of this she bad no doubt.— But if she disappointed him in the after years, she would only reproach bcrself. But now, seeing him labor in the storm for the sake of suffering humanity, she felt that he had a heart which could suffer no change. She saw them reach the broken spar, and take off the drown ing men, one by one. Willie raised his band, and, without turning, the boat shot backward. It was not a moment too soon ; for just then a huge green moun tain came sweeping in from sea, and the wreck was gone. She fell upon her knees, weeping tears of joy that he had succeeded, and did not raise her head until she felt strong arms a’ out lnrr, while his voice whispered: “My darling, give me my answer now.” She raised her head and laid it oo that manly breast, ber shield and de fence througli life. And so they were happy, being pure. ► Some Facts About tiie Oyster.— The oyster when spawn’.ig does not cast its eggs like others fish, but dis solves, as it were, a part of its own body which passes offin long, slender threads, as fine as a spider’s web, upon which are congregated millions of little eggs, not visible to the nacked eye; but which when put under a powerful mag nifying glass astonishes the beholder by their number. It is estimated that about seventy per cent, or the spawn is destroyed by fish, and about ten per cent, from other causes, leaving twenty per cent, to find their way into market. These little “seed,” clinging to what ever they touch, generally to old oys ters, and the many little shells one often seen clinging to large oysters, are but the growth of these seed. When oysters have spawned in a clear place and free from their fish enemies, their growth is very rapid until they attain the size of a quarter of a dollar, and it is at this period of their existenoe that the oystermen take them for transplant ing. The shells are very thin and tho inside meat scarcely larger than a shirt button, and having the rest of the shell filled with a milky fluid, which in time forms the body of the fish. Oysters, after they are transplanted, are with few exceptions, not fit to eat under three years. It might be supposed that the oyster, with its hard shell, was free from all danger, but such is not the case. He has two deadly enemies—tho starfish and the borer. The former will fasten on the mouth of an oyster and in a short time suck the life out of him. The latter, with his little saw and gimblet bill, bores through his shell, and, once through, the oyster is soon destroyed. *——*. ... -- By a series of observations made iu Philadelphia last summer, the singular fset was ascertained that the advent of peaches curtailed fully one-third the sale alcoholic and inalt liquors in retail estab lishments, qnd that the cheaper peaches became, the smaller were the receipts at, drinkiug bars.
