no federation of each others errors no
lenity shown to failings, no meek SUBJ
mission to injuries, no soft answer to
turn away wrath. If you lay a single

fire to it, it would go out; put on an

There are other fires subject to the

Once again the spoke of the wheel
slipped from the grasp of him who
held it, but the fair jeweled hand ar
rested its progress, steadied the steam
er and stayed the destruction which
would otherwise have followed the
swerve from duty. Onward sped the
noble barque; when darkness shut the
the last rock from our sight, one deaf
ening shout arose above the storm for
her who had so bravely guided through
the shadow of death.
She would receive no thanks for her.
self, but bidding us give thanks to Him
whose voice ever rules the storm, she
retired to her state-room, and was lost
to view.
Around the cabin table that night,
about an hour before we entered the
harbor of Montreal, we learned her
history. She was the daughter Of the
merchant who owned the line of boats,
one of which she had saved from ruin.
Her mother died when she was child,
her father had yielded to her wishes,
and allowed her to accompany him in
the boat Of which he was so many
years the captain. By degrees she
became accustomed to every bend, in
that beautiful river, while calm and
storm alike brought scenes of beauty
to her eye. She was now on her way
to visit some friends in Quebec, where
her father proposed joining her to
spend the winter.
A gentleman artist sketched her
likeness on the leaf of his portfolio, as
she stood at the wheel, wrapped in the
pilots coat, with the glass in her hand,
and her full length portrait still graces
the gallery of fine arts in Montreal.
Many white hand clasped the snow
white fingers at parting, and many a
blessing crowned that noble head. A
magnificent diamond bracelet, bearing
upon an inside plate the name of the
vessel and the date of the occurrence,
was presented her about week after
her arrival in Quebec, by the passen-
gers who were on board at the time,
while loud and triumphant were the
praises borne to the ear of a fond par
ent of the noble conduct of that frail but
fearless one, who had braved the danger
which stout hearts and strong forms
had quailed from with a deadly fear"
"And what became of her after
wards ?" l inquired.
"She married an officer in Quebec.
and her children still live there. One
is noble boy or rather man now
and ploughs the ocean in one of the
noblest battleships of England"
L thanked the kind old man for his
story, and left him-one added to the
list of admirers of the bravery of the
fair pilot of my own favorite river.

The Female Pilot--.A Story of the st.
Lawrence.


"I wish you would tell me story,
Monsieur Scottera?' said / to an old
white headed pilot Of the St. Lawrence,
as he sat in the house-keeper's room,
at my uncle's, one biting cold night
in December while the storm without
was such as only Montreal can boast.
The house-keeper was his neice, and
the old man would come higher and
enjoy social chat, rather than remain
alone in his cabiE, which was midway
between Montreal and Lanchine while
room over the kitchen was always
reserved for his use.
He was an especial friend of my un-
cle's and none were more welcome than
he. Age had crowned his head with
hoary hairs, and many noble bark had
he gnided over the deep waters of the
Belle River of the Canadas.
Well, what shall my story be
about ?" he asked.
"Tell me story of the st. Law
renee" l answered-something real
and true ?"
For moment he was silent then
slipping his ale, he commenced:
MANY years ago, when was SO
small as hardly to rccollect it now, my
brother and myself were placed on
board one of the river steamers, as cab
in boys and walters, with view of
becoming pilots when We should grow
older. That was nearly eighty years
ago, for / am ninety-fve now, and
boats were not fitted up as now nor
were good pilots thing to be found
every day. 1 had run up and down
several times, when one morning, about
ten o'clock, we stopped at Brockville
to take on board rs usual, a govern.
ment pilot to guide us down the river
1t was late in the season, and we had
strong wind the night before, leav
ing the river rough, and our usual pi
lot had hard work to keep the boat in
its proper track, while it brought us
into Brockyille two hours later than the
usual time.
The clouds overhead still looked
cold, and the wind blew fresh an6
strong, when making all possible haste
we again put out of harbor, and were
soon bounding on our way.
Throuhgout the morning / noticed
an anxious look on the captains face
which bespoke his uneasiness abou
the final termination of our journey
We had a good many passengers oil
board, and although we usually reach
ed Montreal about four o'clock in tn,
afternoon, we should now be delayed
until six, if not later.
! About ten miles this side of Lanch
line a storm of rain commenced, whicl
rendered it almost impossible to guild
the boat at all; while the rapids of tina
name, the most terrific in the Who'll
river, were yet to be passed.
The pilot was one of the best on th
route, but man of passionate temper
with peculiar dogged look which wa
peculiarly disagreeable. Between hir
and the ordinary boat pilot there exii
ted grudge which once or twice ha
led to blows, when they came in cor
tact with each other.
That morning, when passing one G
the higher falls, they stood together q
the wheel owing to the current of tn
water and the almost exhauste'
: strength of him who had guided us a

The Old Bridge.
BY EDWARD s. RAND, JR.

The old bridge over the river,
Beaten by sun and rain,
Where the waters flow forever
On their way to the dashing main
Flow on with ripping quiver,
Yet never come back again.
Twas builded in bygone ages,
By those long passed away,
As we read in record pages
Made dusty by old decay,
The war which time e'er wages
With things of bygone day.
The feet that first passed over
Are mouldering with the sod;
The spring-tide blossoms cover
The myriads who have trod -
Who may their names recover?
Their spirits rest with God
/ stand by the ancient railing
When day is nearly done,
When the sunset tints are falling,
And the twilight just begun,
And shadowy phantoms trailing
Seem passing one by one.
o tits fearful feeling
Among that shadowy crowd,
The shades of night revealing
Forms wrapped in snowy shroud;
With spirit whisper stealing.
Yet never word aloud.
/ lift my soul to heaven,
And think of the coming day,
When l shall have toiled and striven,
Like them shall have passed away,
A peace of mind is given,
And my thoughts in silence pray.
The old bridge over the river,
With the eddying stream below,
Which rushes onward ever,
Like our beings rapid flow,
Both onward may shine and quiver,
Yet no return may know.
