When l awoke in the morning the sun
was high in the sky--they were holding a
consultation over the prisoners. "Why
cannot we take them to the settlement"
and then deliver them to the authorities,
said |. To this proposition they all agreed.
SO Alma, Lizzie, Lester, and myself, re-
turned to our land, while the rest with

replied d" Let it be as soon as they return

He then whispered something to Alma,
to which she gave an assent then turning
to Lizzie, he said 6 Lizzie we would be
much pleased to have you and Robert go
with us, and act as bridesmaid, and grooms-
man. d" 1t would afford me the greatest
pleasure to do so, and how is it with you,
Robert" said she. q | would be very
much pleased to do so,' | answered.
There you have our answer, said Lizzie"

leaving you, but we wish TO fix matters

which we pledged ourselves so long ago. y

THE LIGHTHOUSE.

THE apostle exhorts to be blameless and
harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke
in the midst of crooked and perverse ma
ton, among whom ye slime as 'ights IN
The acorld holding forth the word of life.
(Phil. ii. l5.) Allusion is here made to
lighthouses in which bright fame is kept
burning during the night, for the benefit
of mariners. Our own coast is studded
with these lights.
In erecting them, two objects are to be
secured I; namely, sufficient brilliancy, and
the means of easily distinguishing one from
another.
In order to give intensity of light sufi-
cient for dark and hazy weather, highly
polished silver refectors are used.
That the lights may be readily distin-
guishcd from each other, some are station
airy and some revolving some are single
some double, and some triple. Some cast
a white, some a red, and some a purple
flame. All are SO marked, that the mari.
ner can learn his exact position, and safe
ly navigate the most winding channel, by
observing the bearing of these lights.
At ancient Rhodes, colossal statue o
a man held in one hand fame which en-
Gghtened the whole port
Sometimes, these lights becomes dim
or men who live on plunder erect falls
lights, and thus the mariner is bewildered
vessels are wrecked, and merchandise an
precious lives are lost.
Now, says the apostle, ye are designe
to be lights in the world, by which Other
: may learn their position, and be guided
: the port Of peace. Men are sailing on
, dangerous, rock-bound coast,
=, Where storms arise,
And br:ak.rs frown.
l If the light OF Christian example go
9 out, becomes dim, is hid, or if false ligh
a are set up, the peril becomes imminent
e And when spiritual disasters take plac
; who can calculate the loss
For sadddr sight the eye can know,
Than proud bark lost or seaman's woe.
: or battI- fir temp st cloud,
Or prey birds shrek, OF oceans shroud,-

While they were embracing, ] entered
into conversation with the other lady, who
told me that her name was Elizabeth
Brooke. That she had sailed IN the ship
with Alma and her Father,-that she was
an intimate friend of hers--"i in fact, y said
she & | was to hc her bridesmaid"
And how did you come to fall into
the hands of these rutfians?" " | asked.
"Wen," said she " the fact Of the mat
ter is this, after wehad left the straits of
Dover, two days behind, there arose a
great storm; our ship was blown to the
north west About midnight We were
aroused by the joyful calling of sailor
" Lighthouse, no !" At the next instant,
crash went the ship against a rock the
violence of the shock was 50 great that
most of the passengers and crew were
thrown overheard, and those who were not,
instantly jumped over; trusting to the mer-
cy of the waves, rather than to the posi-
bility of the ship holding together till the
storm abatcd. Excepting Alma and my
self, we stuck to the ship-and strange to
say, the storm ceased before morning, and
the ship held together By daylight the
sea had became quite calm, and our ship
was visited by this motley crew. They
were successfully hunted from their hiding
place, and had barely time to escape to
the west; bringing Alma and myself with
them.
Since our capture, God only knows
what we have suffered. We now went to
work preparing leaves for beds, and soon
we all retired. | lay awake long after
the rest were sleeping soundly, thinking OF
Elizabeth Brooke, for let me observe that,
at my first sight of her, admiration for hei
calm and gentle manner had sprung up
within me. But now it amounted to more
than admiration. Aud here my thoughts
began to waver-conciousness gradually

determined to live a hunter life III the
"far west" Accordingly we bought Gov

we were at least fifty miles farther than any
other civilized settlement 1t was hilly
and mountainous country. There was one
mountain that was abruptly to a great
height, its deep crevices and jutting rocks
formed scene of grandeur and Sublimity.
At the base of this mountain, we found II

scorching rays of the sun in summer, and
the piercing winds of winter. In short, it
answered Ill the purposes of house.
Game abounded plentifully in the sur
rounding country. 1t was our only means
of subsistence. The flesh served as food
and with the fur, some of us would go to
the nearest settlement and trade 1t for
goods and provisions. Twice in year,
wiz fall and spring, did we thus dispose
\ of it,
We had lived in this manner for two
years. was spring, and twelve OF our
party he gone to the settlement, leaving
