we recorded an instance Of young lad
who was drowned on Saturday, and to-day
we have another. These instances occur
mostly while bathing, and the sufferers are
generally boys or young men. DR.. Ar

following reasons why, in ordinary acci-
dents so many persons are drowned who
might easily have been saved:
l. Their b, ,lieying that the body is
heavier than water and therefore that
continued erertion is necessary to keep
them swimming. Now, as man cannot
retain the swimming position without con-
tinued e1ertion, the body raised for mo-
ment above the natural levels sinks as far
below 1t when the exertion ceases and
the plunge, by appearing the commence
Inent of permanent sinking, terrifes the
uupracticed individual and renders him
an easier victim to his fate.
2. From q fear that water, by entering
the ears, may drown, as if entered by the
nose or mouth, u wasteful exertion OF
strength is made to prevent it, the truth
being, however, that it can only enter the
outer ear, or far as the membrane of the
drum, and is, therefore of no consequence

if their hands were tied while held below;
but this act is most hurtful.

CHAPTER IL
The QUESTION SETTLED.

The QUESTION SETTLED.
Three weeks, perhaps more, had passed
by since the evening when l precipitated
myself into a solemn league with girl of
seventeen, and contracted for her friend
ship.
Now We met at solitary spot among
the trees, in rocky dell, where brook
ran, and there was sequeetered seat
By her request we were not this day to
walk thither as usual together, but to set
out from the house by different ways. She
had something of Importance, she said, to
communicate and as this was the first
time, during our intercourse, that she had
taken the least precaution to avoid the
notice Of others, pondered over the cir
cumstance while strolling towards the spot
but to no purpose.
found her seated upon n low, moss
grown rock, one Of many dropped singly
here and there, or tumbed in groops along
the valley, like dice after night of hard
play.
The trees bowed over her, huttering iu
the mountain wind, and long beams of sun
shine twinkle through the leaves. The
brook hard by slid over shelving rocks,
murmuring softly and dreamily or CUR
gled half awake among the round pebbles
and died away in faint rushing sound far
down the glen. My friend was not aware
of my approach and even when l took
my accustomed place by her side she was
lost in thought. Her head was bowed
down +; her cheek was slightly flushed ;
her hands lay in lstless beauty, folded in
her lap. thought that her face wore a
look of trouble. Wishing to make my
presence known, gently reused her from
her reverie. She started and recognized
me with her own glad smile then hastily
withdrew her hand, and casting down her
eyes was silent.

"Do you know, Mr.. p" she answered
sadly averting her face, "that We cannot
be friends any longer"
I was stunned. Not solitary misun
derstanding had hitherto perpleIed our in

pure influence that surrounds you--never
more worship in you the beauty and no.
bility Of womanhood? Must our sympa-
thies which have become interviewer, be
torn suddenly apart? Shall never more
feel the pressure of your hand in welcome
or exchange parting word ?"
I paused, and restraining myself pro-
ceeded. "You should know that, during
our brief acquaintance, some graceful trait
Of yourself has become associated with
each of my opinions so that can scarce
ly fall into any mood without remembering
you Now 1 must sift the gold dust from
the sand. Every tone Of your voice, the
look and gesture, the gentle counsel and
gentler reproof, which haunt me, must be
silenced and obliterated You see the
task must be painful"
"Wnl you make it your business to for
get me ?" said she sorrowfully.
Yes, l will try to remember you ss
pleasant dream, and not regret you as
substantial thing
How the moontidc glared upon the dis
tant fields, and the everlasting rustling Of
leaves around us grated on my ear The
singing of the grasshopper in the sunshine
was an intolerable burden.
"Oh, if could have forseen all this !"
she exclaimed, clasping her little hands
together until the blue veins rose, and you
could trace them as they wandered shining
through the transparent skin.
And now said + growing more and
more bewildered, "as this is the last hour
of the friendship between US, ask your
forgiveness if had ever given you pain in
any way" And / extended my hand,
thinking to part with her before it became
too difficult but she had covered her face
with both her hands, and was weeping Bit
terly.
A thought flashed across me, at which
my heart leaped, as if the earth at my feet
had received sudden jar.
Julia. you tell me that they say we
are engaged ?"
She made no answer, nor did | well see
how she could have answered me. All
language died away in my throat, round
which, like q bowstring, a horrible embar-
rassment was lightning its folds. With
an instructive impulse, I.drew her hand
from her eyes and pressed it to my lips.
There was a moment Of suspense. The
hand remained passive in my own; a ra.
diant blush kindled in her cheek, as the
sunset breaks through the summer shower
Slowly her head sank upon my shoulder
there resting for an instant, and for an in.
slant held her to my breast. Thus we
made another treaty which should be un
broken for life; But lost my " friend.
