As is often the case in this world, the
marked attention Of James Eastwood for
Balhelda Forteguerri caused mon, who
would have passed her by unnotced,
otherwise, 10 look upon her, and looking,
they found that she was fair. Among
these was one Pietro di Vergani, nephew
Of the Viceroy Of Sieily, naughty. rich,
and dissolule young nobleman, who at
once discovered that the "little girl'' was
worthy Of selection for scheme. which,
though the idea crossed his mind with
the rapidity Of lightning, it took time to
mature into resolution. Fraud, moi force,
was needed to carry out his design.

rich relatives, situated in the suburbs

died, had probably influenced his decis-

Fortegueri, with a stately bow and a
smile; my daughter is half so. Beth

girl, in excellent English.

"this is indeed a pleasure" -..
Seating himself beside them, he at once
commenced an animated conversation with

horror of many of his friends, who char.

his way, ignorant that the world busted
itself at all about his affairs.

Many touching incidents Of the loss OF the
Austria have been related, and many an eye
has been dimmed in their perusal, by the
teur Of sympathy but the following is Ger.
tainly the most affecting that we have seen
1t is related by one of the rescued:
An English lady, who came on board al
Southampton with the husband, had three
children with her-a girl about five years
old, boy about three, and babe in her
arms. The husband had jumped over, and
as the flames grew hotter and burned more
fercely, she took her little girl, kissed her.
and threw her into the water. She then
took the boy, fair healthy little fellow, en-
braced him, gave him her last kiss, and then
threw him in. He fell on his back, anC
struggled very hard. Rising to the surface
three separate times, he called out "Mam'
ma" each time, in the most piteous tones
then sunk to rise no more. The poor wo.
man then clasped her baby to her breast
and jumped in with it, kissing it repeatedly
as they sank to the bottom.

As first looked over the Dead Sea then
thought it lovely. Its waters were beauti.s
fully blue as those of the noble lakes Of my
own native land. Not ripple disturbed its
fair face; it seemed dreaming in the tranced
hush of the MONDAY. Its translucent
waves lazily toyed with the pebbly beach
that wound about its skirts in many grace
full curve. Then It stretched endlessly
away between two frowning rsmParts Of the
hills, mirroring on it's CLASSY bosom the
mountsins Of Moab and the mountains Of Ju-
deS. could not realize that this lake that
lay so TRANQUILITY sleeping and smiled 90
sweetly on the desolate wilds around could
be the fatal Sea, on whose every wave rode
grim and ghastly death F; that its breath had
blasted the plain und blighted every Speck
of verdure on the hills. But as ] looked
more intently over its broad expanse 1t then
seemed to assume a certain unhealthful lu.
rid hue and there came up from it hot
and sickly mist as if ii were seething in its
rocky cauldron. Its rest, too, seemed trou-
bled, as il it were rather the stupor Of fever
than the heal,hful hush of sleep. And the
translucence of its waters was deceptive,
for wherever they touched the shore there
renamed black and oily deposit.
Probably nature does not afford more
desolate scene than that Of the region of the
Dead Sea. 1t lies in vast basin four thou.
sand feet below the Mediterranean. II is
bounded on the north by the plain Of Jeri-
cho on the east its waves wash the base of
the calCined hills of Moab on the west

extremity touches the regions of Arabia Pc.
trB. The eye looks in vain for any sign OF
vestige Of human life. No living creature

birds dip their wings in its waters. One
endless reach of mist.wreathed waters--one
endless range of barren hills meet you on
every side. There is no escape--no refuge
from the desolation that begirts you. This
sea, which receives the living Jordan, has
no outlet. 1t remains problem-an enig-,
ma to science. Numerous efforts TO explain
| it have been made, many adventurous tra.T
velers have lost their lives in the attempt
and Mr.. Lynch, whose survey is so imper-
feet, lost his first assistant. Even the Wild
Bedouin, whose home is the desert, shuns it
in his wide wanderings. Its origin involves
a wild and fearful history. The shores it
laves once teemed with life. Its waves roll
on the cities of the "Cities of the Plain."--
Deep down in its sccursed depths lies dead
and damned Gomorrah. And Sodom and
the cities that sinned with her are rotting
there too.
