disaster occurred. 1t happened that the
steamer was not a mile distant from the
spot where the house of Louise stood. A.
the moment Of disaster Lefranc was out or
the hills, sketching elms, and rushed tc
the scene to offer what aid was possible to
the drowning and burning passengers
! Fearless as lion, he was in the water in a
moment, dragging to the shore the hall
drowning victims of that horrible sacrifice.
arms, he was seized by an old man, whose
head was already sinking below the water.
and it was in vain that he tried to release
himself from the death-like grasp. The
four would have gone down together had
not strong arm relieved him from the
woman and child Then, lifting the old
man up before him, he pushed his way to
shore, and dragged out old Uncle Jacob !
Louise and Valne were already there, and
together they soon brought the half-stran-
gled man to his senses. Lefranc continued
his exertions in the water, and rescued
MANY who vet live to bless him. Uncle
Jacob set up in moment. beholding the
fearful scene. His eyes followed Lefranc
and Louise, who waded far out into the
stream, to receive the precious burthens
which her husband brought to the beach.
Ere long, the last victim. struggling for
life. was rescued, though many had ceased
from their struggles. beneath the blue and
trecherous waters. All! it was mclan-
choly sight,indeed, to look upon that scene
No words may paint its horrors, its ago
MES, its prayers, its fearful thankfulness,
its Shrek of woe, its meetings and its part
ings. Angels of mercy, indeed, were
those whose arms came to the rescue
whose care caught the spark of life as it
was just ready to go out, and blew it into
full life again.
Uncle Jacob saw all this, and wept like
child. When all was over. he submitted
to be led by Louise and Valne, up the
beach and over the lawn to the house As
he approached the door he stopped, and
said: Louise. shall never enter this house
of yours until have your forgiveness and
Lefranc's. for the wrong ] have so long
done him may God bless him "a he de-
serves
Lefranc was not there tc here those
words, for be was still among the most tire
less in his efforts to gather the dead bodies
from the deep. Long after, when he did
oome in, it was to find the old man sweetly
sleeping in the family room, and little ia
cob nesting down by his side.
Need we say that the house on the Ave
nue. was closed--that Uncle Jacob gave up
his old haunts down town. and quartered
himself at the cottage with Lefranc? SO
So it came to pass, and to this day that fam
lily circle is unbroken--happy as it is vouch
safed that any on this earth shall be. Two
other children have been added to the idols
Of the hearth stone--two loving spirituelle
girls.
A picture at the Academy Exhibition, of
an old man and three little ones, told not
more of the skill of the artist who once
stole the miniature of Louise, than of the
touching tenderness and love which bound
the old and the young together.

This world is not so bad a world
As some would try to make it;
Though whether good or whethsr bad
Depends on how YOU take it.
For five scold and fret all day
From dewy morn till even,
This world will ne 'er afford to men
A foretaste here ofheaven.
This world is quite a clever world,
In rain or pleasant weather,
fpeople would but learn to live
In harmony together;
Not seek to bnrst the kindly bond,
BY love and peace cemented,
And learn the best of lessons yet,
To always be contented.
Then were the world pleasant world,
And pleasant folks were in it;
The day would pass most pleasantly,
To those who thus begin it;
And all the nameless grievances
Brought OR by borrowed troubles,
Would prove, as certainly they are,
i mass ofempty bubbles.

There were several SPLENDID Morgan stall
