Aftera pause, holding her hand and look.
ing into her eyes. he said to her: 81
thought ought to acknowledge to you,
before go, that you were altogether
right in what you required OF me, and
that was altogether wrong. 1t seems a
mere mockery for me to make that con-
fession now; it is too late to do anybody
any good. Yet felt that l ought to
make it,"
Why was it too late? Why did he go,
now that the only obstacle that had before
separted them seemed to be removed? for
he declared that he had forsworn his
habit of dissipation forever. The real
cause of his leaving her was too painful
a subject for him to talk about, and he
could only say that he went because he
must" Then the conclusion was forced
upon her that he did not care for her any
more; that he had, perhaps, never really
cared for her, and her womanly pride and
plque were reused, giving her unnatural
strength for the separation. She was
wonderfully dignifed and cold till he
reached the door; then he opened his
arms and she fell sobbing upon his breast.
He kissed her once, and again and breath
ed forth know not what passionate part
ing words with his farewell, then hurri-
edly departed from the house, like a
strong man fleeing from great tempta-
tion
In the street. he did not know what to
do with himself. He felt more utterly
forelOrn and desolate than he had ever
believed it possible for man to be and
live. Z" Go back to her." whispered one
passion in his breast. "Go to the bar
room," whispered another and darker
passion. He resisted BOTH
He could not go at once and make his
farewell call on the old couple, and so he
wandered down q lane that led to the
pond. Why he should choose to revisit
at that time a scene which he could not
behold without pang, it is not easy to
say But sometimes pain Itself, especial
ly when associated with some object of
affection or respect, has facination for
u.s.
He went down to the shore, and stood
by high board fence that served as a
shelter to farmers hot beds-the wintry
sky above him cloudlcss and pure; before
him the cold, shining silence Of the moon
lit ice. There were no skaters on the
pond that night, and its stiffness was
broken only by its own solitary noises.
AS Phil was gazing i'll the direction Of
thespot where the catastrophe had occurred, |
he became all at once aware Of what APP
peared to be a human figure walking on
that part of the pond In little while
it seemed to be approaching him. Near
er and nearer it came, until he thought he
ought to catch the sound of footsteps, |
but not q sound was heard. Silently as
a ghost, out Of the ghostly silver it came,
gliding along the ice Now it stood still, |
and threw out its arms wildly and beat its
breast And now it assumed to the eyes
of the amased spectator mien and shape |
that made his blood run cold-the mien |
and shape of the drowned youth, Clinton |

A FAREWELL AND AN APPARITIoN.

A FAREWELL AND AN APPARITION.
The horses and scrapers were going
again busily and carefully, as if nothing
had happened, only half dozen men 1e-
naming with the late foreman IT, search
for the drowned body. 1t was toilsome
and discouraging task and at last old

sented to be taken home

Corbett repeated every half hour as he
watched the Intellectual rakes, lengthed out
by the addition of poles lashed to the
handles, working their way into deeper
and deeper water. And it really began
appear that he was right in his conjec-
lures that Clint had gone down the steep
slope beneath the unbroken ice 'They
wont get HIM, now, at all-mark my word
boys-not without he rises to the surface
and freezes into the ice, where we may
come across him when we come to cut"
AS that day passed and the next, and
the third and fourth likewise, and the
body was not found, the old man became
triumphant, and offered to make large
bets in support of his theory. He would
no doubt, have been disappointed and
chagrined if the body had turned up at
last and proved him to have been no true
prophet. But that was not to be. On
the fifth day the search was abandoned,
and he again had the satisfaction of re-
minding the people, with his usual saga
ciouse smlrk and arrogant head-shake,
that he "he telled EN- SO"
The catastrophe soon ceased to be talk
about AS the frozen surface Of the pond
was suffered to close overthe spot, so the
ice of oblivion seemed soon to form over
the memory Of poor Clint. The groups

strong emotion. "You don't see your own
better with the community if you dis
charge me- That's the only atonement
you can make to the boys friends. They
will feel better. And as an example,
gentlemen, you ought to do it, If for no
other reason"
"How so, Mr. Kermer?"
Because" said Phil, who seemed to
have lived and thought more in the past
two hours than in years before, and to
great conclusions, because young men
ought not to be able to say that fore
man in an important place like mine, can
keep that place after having caused the
death of one man, and endangered the
lives of fifty, by getting drunk"
The President and his two associates,
on the spot, being kind hearted and just
men, were greatly embarrassed to know
what to do in the case. If Kermer had
approached them with falsehood and ex-
cuses, endeavoring to cast the blame of
the accident upon others, their duty
would have been comparatively clear;
such foreman would certainly have de-
served to be dismissed But nothing dis
deep remorse he evinced, yet more by his
manner than by his words, seemed the best
guarantee he could give of sober and
faithful behavior in the future.
"There is force in what you say, Ker
mer," said one of the directors. "But the
very fact that you say it convinces me that
you are, after all, man to be trusted.
You have shown great ability and fidelity
to our interests hitherto, and | don't
think one such indiscretion ought to
ruin man. What's your opinion, gentle
men?"
The other two agreed with him, and
proposed that the decision of the question
be postponed until the next regular meet
ing of the board. The truth was, Phil
was too valuable man to lose.
The foreman was deeply affected, but
hy no means pursuaded, by this unexpect-
ed kindness. He struggled a moment
with his emotions, then said
Gentlemen, thank you, this is SO
much more than deserve, but ir can't be
as you wish. If you wont discharge me
for the reasons l have given, then dis
charge me for my own sake. l can't go
on as if nothing had happened. If l
could exchange places with that dead boy
under the ice, l should be content
should be quite happy Since that can't
be, it seems to me that the only relief /
can have will be in punishment If
don't have some outward punishment, my
inward punishment will be too great to
bear. Let me go to work by the day I'M

Cease oh soul, thy restless longing!
Know We not that all OF earth
Are but modes of motion "-feeting
Forms of evanescent birthe
Turn to the coming morrow
Worldly pelf and place forego;
Turn thee mortal from thy SORROW
Born of selfish STRIFE and woe.
Look upon the life immortal
Ii reward thou seek st to find,
Standpoint for thy hope eternal
Based upon the plane of mind
Act thy part with the reflection
That in gender world doth shine
All thy de ds with truths perfection
Though the scorn Of earth be thine
Know these longing aspirations
Never reached in arlhiY strife,
Point to grandest Ompenssti0ns,
Sacred joy-immortal life
