The hurricane was coming, and fearful
one it was to prove too. The large vessel
was brig that had blown off her course
and now she neared the rough coast, where
her heIsman was total stranger. The
Swallow lay blthely up to the wind, and
coming down from quarter more favora-
BILE, she soon lowered all sail, save the jb,
and before sunset reached the wished for
haven in safety, where with the rest came
snugl to anchor
All eyes were now towards the brig, the
managers of which seemed intent upon
clearing off the coast, but she became un-
manageable at last, and an hour after night
fall, in the midst of terrific blow-whle
the fishermen were some of them draggin g
their anchors from the increased violence of
the gale-the brig suddenly dashed in a.
mongst them, under bare poles, while Off
GERS, crew, and passengers were vieing each
other in their shouts Of warning or for Sue
cor amid their fearful peril The anchors
We're thrown over, but all efforts to save the
vessel were fruitless. She str anded upon
the rough beach; and her crew and passen-
gers all perished, it was believed, amidst
the darkness and the storm.
All night the hurricane ragged with re,
lentless fury, and during tke next day the
wind continued TO rave and howl. with dis
NAL MORNINGS, as if over the fate of the
lately lost vessel, pieces of the wreck Of
which were dashed high up over the rocks
at the shore But no living soul was seen
and it was clearly supposed that all OF
board had perished with the wreck.
Yet 'alter the storm comes the calm,
usually. And on the second morning sue
ceeding the gale, the sun rose in all BIZ
glorious splendor. shining brightly upon th'
now calmed waves, and looking cheerfully
upon the dozen or more white sails of the
anxious fishermen, who quickly availed
themselves of the opportunity afforded them
by this change tie pursue their vocations.
Jennie had been down to the shore tt
give her father and brother the customary
temporary adieu and god-speed at parting,
when, upon returning up the beach towards
the cot, her eye suddenly fell upon curiou

seen before.
1t was magnificent bracelet of gold, cir
cled around the edges with glistenins jew
els, the real value of which Jennie had no
conception of, though they were diamonds
Of the first water. In the center of the or
nament was large emerald, too, of sur
passing beauty, and underneath this stone
appeared the initials &C. P.,' engraved OIL
the gold band. This was indeed prz,
to poor Scotch lass. And she hurried
away homeward, highly elated with he

Look Dummie, she cried, jumping int
the cot, where an old cousin of her father
Dummie Barton. was seated before the pea
fire, toasting his withered limbs, 'look a
what found among the beach stones.-
What is it?
Dummie took it in his hand, turned hi
bleared old eyes on it, and handingit back
to Jennie he said:
Il dinna ken, Jennie
But isn't it beautiful Dummie?' insisted
the girl enthusiastically. See how bril-
