Why may not last the brightest hours,
Of Life's glad Spring-time day,
And Su miner’s golden beams dispel,

Why do the buds of earthly love,

Why do wo gather bitter fruit *,.
Why chaff, instead of wheat?
Why do our hopes grow bright to fade,

Our sunny skies so soon grow dark,

as the ship rolls 1 an 1 to ssed, an and strug
gled for victory with the waves, now ris
ing high oi the white-crested sea, now
silking into the yawning trough be
low.
Screams of half-frantic women anl
cric‘3 of frightened ehil Iren ros? train
tho cal in, and mingle l with the tumult
and roaring of the sea.
" A fearful storm, captain,” said one
of the passengers..'.with an anxious ex
pression on his dark face. "Surely the
ship eau never live in such a sea?”
The captain's answer was a griin
smile, and a forlorn shake of the head,
as hetiirnel to shout his commands to
a portion of the officers an and the crew,
who stood at their posts on deck.
The passenger moved gloomily away,
and a shade as black as the clouds
above him, passsdover his face.
‘•Curses on the ship, the sky, an l
sea !” he hissed between his thin lips,
as he shook the water from Iff s hat and
coat.
Scarcely had the words been uttered,
when a wil 1 cry rose from every’ month,
a id fill? I the air—
"\Ye are lost! we-are lost!”
A lou l crashing of timber the next
sound, and then the' booming of the
pumps at work.
"Let down the boats!” rose the cap
tain's voice, loud and shrill.
Faces blanched with horror and de
spair, turned agonized looks upon one
another.
Tne terror-stricken passengers press
ed eagerly to the ship’s sida. where the
sailors were hastily cutting the boat
ropes.
The scene was an awful one.
Women ran wildly to an l fro wring
ing their hau ls an ( uttering piercing
cues.
Men, with corp33-likß fares, stood
speechless with fear.
Some sank on tneir knees on the
dripping docks, anl raised'thc-ir tivin >
I.ug hands to the black vault of heaven.
Tne ooats were filling fast, and quick
ly pushing away from the doomed ves
sel.
“Great Heavens! must I die with
these poor devils ? Must my life en l
yet ?” murmured the same lips that had
a moment before curse I the few planks
that were between tnem an and eternity.
He who spoke wa; a strong-limoei,

face, penetrating black eyes, salio.v

Ho wa3 wrapped in a thick cloak,
that hid his form, and his face was
shielded by a broad-brimmed hat.
His teeth were set tightly together,
his eyes rested oa the foaming sea.
“May Heaven have mercy oa you,
Sir Guy, that you do not parish to-nigat
with those curses staining your lips,”
said a voice at his side.
Sir Guy started, and looked from un
der hi s hat at his fellow-passenger who
had addressed him.
His eyes rested on the tall figure of a
young man, a cloak thrown over his

hea l bare l to tne boisterous storm.
A fair face could be seen in the red
light oftne glaring lanterns.
A fair face, with gentle brown eyes,
and a mouth ino epressioly sweet, al
most womanish in its beauty, a pure
white brow, with light, wavy hair push
ed hack from it.
Sir Guy had turned to answer in an
ger, but as he looked, the tierce expres
sion of his face changed, and he laid his
hand on the young man’s arm
"I cannot die yet,” he said, in ;.
hoarse whisper. ”Tne end of this jour
ney is all that I have lived for, and now
must I die? 80,-, do you sec this box?”
—he held out his hand as ho spoke,
with a small tin box tightly clenched
between his fingers—-In it is that witn
out which I shou! Ibe a beggar, but
with ’it there is not a man so rich as I:
an I now—" and a lock of deep agony
sprea 1 over his features—” now i must
die an 1 leave it.”
His wor ts ended in a lon 1 groan ns
lie leant over the vessel's side.
Tue last of the boats were pushing
off.
‘‘Room for another,” cried the sailors,
as tuey saw the two-men itandingontiie
sinking snip.
‘•Room for one more.”
Sir Guy aid the young man looked
in each ot.ier’s faces.
‘;vVno is to take the only place?”
“You ha 1 oetter go. Sir Guy,” said
the young man. remembering tue curses

Suddenly Sir Guy rose from his sc:'*-,

Sir Guy sprang forward, an 1 with a

ed an 1 danced and rolled on before
him, now almost within hi3 gra3p, now
high above his head.
Sir Guy struggled along, but bis
strength failed him, arid he uttered one
long, loud ory for help..
The young man on the sinking ship
saw the sight, saw , the' sailors shake
their heads, an l h&ittt" them say—
. “We hjj,vo-alfehdy risked our lives

the vessel again.”
liefe was a'chance .to save his own
life.
There was a vacant seat in the boat,
and only a few yards of sea-to swim.
If he ma le iiaste his could be in the
boat before the sailors had time to keep
him off.
He hesitated, and looked-at the
Browning mau, whose eyes filled with
agony, turned towards him.
.Tarowing away his cloak, he leape l
from the vessel, and two men. instead
of one, struggled with the billows- for
life.
II? catenas Sir Guy's hand, and suc
ceed in swimming with- him to the
boat.
Tne sailors at first refusal to take
him on board : but at last they yielde 1
an 1 Sir Guy is once again safe.
Tne young man put his hand on the
boat’s side.
“Is there not room forme?" he asked
in a tone of deep despair, ;s' the fair
fonn of Alice seams to ri3-e before him
out of the white foam.
The sailors gafcc in pity on the beau
tiful fa m raised to them in a con-y.
They look at each other an 1 question
much if they shall take him in, and risk
the landing of the boat.
But their own lives were precious:
an 1 with common cmi sen b though pitv
filled their hearts, they lift; l their oars
an i'struek the hands that were holding
to the boat side. '
He held on still, in spite of the pain
the blows ha l given.
The boat turn: lon one s’dc.
Sir Guy, with a fearful oath, sprang
forward.
“We cannot all die for this man's
sake,” he said ; an l raising his hand,
which held a small, tin bos. lie dealt a
heavy blow on tho [mre, white brow.
The hands left their hold, and Sir
Guy’s eyes rested' pa his deliverer’s
face for one moment.
A sweet smile plays over the parted
lips.

The tin box is again dan dug on th,

“Once more, Alice,” lie said, putting
his arm round her "ones more, dearest,

“No, Edward, not one.”
He bent over her, pressed his lips to

A few weeks, an 1 the bells sent their

broad green slopes, ail Alice Level
was Lord Uivingtoa's bride.
Sh3 carrie l bright jewels in her hair,
lint an aching, longing' ueart in her

Ne, r would Lord Riviigton utter a
gentle Word : or east one loving look to
wards her, but E iward's face seems 1 to
come between them, an 1 his brown eves
gaze lat her iu love an l sorrow, an and
Alice would lure away sorrowfully from
iier husband without an answering
rinile.
Day by lay the breach between hue
band and wile grew wider; the shade
on Lord Rivirigton';’. face deepened,
and sorrow brougut deep lines about
Alice’s fair mouth.
Month by month tho shadow over
tuoir two lives grew darkor.an 1 a heavy
clou i seem? Ito darken the sky over
their dwelling, until it broke, and let it-’,
full ‘weight of sorrow, anger, and hatred
lawn noon their hearts.
It was one evening; the pale moon
was rising over tho hilltops as Lord
Rivington lit his cigar and paced slowly
the gravel path before tiie house.
lie was musing, and a deep, passion
ate longing for his snfe.'s love was rag
ing in his tireast.
”1 thought I could make her love
me,” he sorrowfully said' to himself;
“but I have trie lin vain. She turns
from me with a shudder if I draw her to
me.”
Lord Rivington finished his cigar in
silence.
Su l lenly his crimson color rushed to
bis face.
"Good God !” lie muttered. "Can it
be auot ter man ha3 the keeping of her
heart ?”
The thought filled his soul with rag
ing jealousy, and burning with anger,
he entered the house; and' Went to his
wife's room.
Aline was seated in a low chair near
the window.
A loose white drees enveloped her
graceful figure.
