TIL E sIsT RS.
BY JOHN G.. WHITTIER.

Annie and Rhoda, sisters twain,
Woke in the night to the sound of rain.
The rush ofwind the ramp and roar
OF great waves climbing rocky shore.
Annie rose up in her bed gown white,
And looked out into the storm and night.
sHush, and hearken !" she cried in fear,
tHearest thou nothing, sister dear?''
~ hear the sea- and the plash of rain,
And roar of the northeast hurricane.
"Get thee back to bed so warm,
No good comes of watching a storm.
''What is it to thee, I fain would know,
That waves are roaring and wild winds blow
s'No lover of thine $ afloat to miss
The harbor lights on night like this"
''But heard voice cry out my name,
Up from the sea on the wind it came!
s'Twice and thrice have I heard it call,
And the voice is the voice of Estwick Hail.
On her pillow the sister tossed her head.
'Hall of the Heron is safe" she said.
'In the toughest schooner that ever swan
He rides at anchor in Anquam.
"And, if in peril from swamping sea
Or lee shore rocks, would he call on thee?'
But the girl heard only the wind and tide,
And wringing her small white hand she cried
80 sister Rhoda, there's something wrong;
hear it again, so loud and long.
"Annie Annie hear it CALL
And the voice is the voice of Estwick Hall !"
Up sprang the elder, with eyes afame,
t'ThOu liest! He never would call thy name
eff he did, would pray the wind and sea
To keep him forever from thee and me ~
Then out of the sea blew dreadful blast;
Like the cry Of dying man it passed.
The young girl blushed on her lips groan,
But through her tears strange light shone-
The solemn joy of her hearts release
To own and cherish its love in peace.
dearest p she whispered under breath,
'Life was lie, but true is DEATH"
'The love hid from myself away
Shall crown me now in the light OF. day.
sMy ears shall never to wooer list,
Never by lover my lips be kissed.
sSacred to thee and henceforth,
Thou in Heaven and on Earth ~
She eame and stood BIZ her sisters beds II
tsHall Of the Heron is dead P' she said.
stThe wind and the wave their works have done
We shall see him no more beneath the sun.
ssLittle will reck that heart Of thine,
1t loved him not with a love like mine.
Il, for his sake, were he but hero
Could hem and broider his bridal gear.
ssTho, hands shonld tremble and eyes he wet
And stitch for stitch in my heart be set.
"But now my soul with his soul wed;
Thine the living, and mine the dead ~

Seven years ago merry party was as

some friends. | was there, and in rather
special character. for one of the said
daug g ghtcrs had consented to adopt the name
of certain person, and was going to do
it on the morrow. How like dream that
evening seemed! Could it be true that
the elegant girl bending over her sister at
the piano was actually going to belong to
me: true that, after all these months of
alteration and sinkings of the heart and
distractions. she was actually going to
have breakfast and dinner ard tea with
me always? l did but half believe it,
Just as had said so for the fiftieth time
the doctor entered, and the attention OF
the family was concentrated upon him.
The anxious and jaded look on the face
of my host was very noticea BILE, and struck
US all at once. He looked scared, which
| had never seen him before. OF course
we asked if he was not we'll. and his wife.
hurriedly taking him glass OF wine, said
she knew that something had disturbed
him very much. "Ycs," said be, "very
much indeed, but cannot speak of it
now-some other time will do-in fact
you will all hear of it tomorrow" And
that was all he would say, except that he
bad been hastily summoned to a patient
ten miles distant, and must 90 again. per-

Pet y had said goodbye. Very soon our
merry chatter was renewed. and songs and
games and merry laughter made the room
echo again. Presently. after some whis'
pering between mamma, who shook her
head as she smiled. and Pets sister Grace,
and another whisper with the doctor, who
said: ''Certainly. If you wish it" the lat.

to try me? And once more there was a
blank. 1t seemed to me that an age pass
ed, during which stood nlotionless. blind
and deaf. At last some solemn1y-spoken
words caught my attention. The venera-
BILE man in whose presence | stood was
speaking to me. His voice was trembling
with emotion. He was exhorting me a.
bout something which l did not in the
least understand. But at last / heard
him say:
"You have been fairly tried and have
been found guilty. In that finding con-
cur. No human being saw you commit
the deed for which you are to suffer; the
Eye of one alone witnessed that terrible
scene. The proofs of your gilt we're clear.
Your position and character have been re-
memhered. but when human blood has
been shed, every minute circumstance be.
comes Of Importance. and must haze its
full ,oeight. There is blood. and IN 1t
lies the evidence plainly acriaen upon your
right hand"
The voice suddenly ceased. for a con-
fused noise, as Of people .applaudiug with
their feet, broke in upon those fearful
words-a noise that swelled until it SEEM
ed to fill that horrible place with reverb
Grating thunders. A noise that
Awoke me!
And l awoke to hear a cheerful voice
say: Time to get up. Robert; don't you
know what day this is 2" And the vision
of the night faded away like rolled up
curtain. I looked forth from my open
window, saw the sun shining over all
the beautiful landscape. and the little
stream sparkling as it danced along, and
the green grass jeweled with dew-drops,
and thousand sweet odors from the rain
bows of flowers ascended towards me; and
from the hill afar off sounded the merry
tinkle of the church bells, ringing in hon
or of my wedding day. Soon / was in

and tears. looking, oh how beautiful
Soon the doctor came in, too, very grave,
but looking not unhappy. ''You seem a

Owning q Home.

=
THE want ofjudgment, and lack Of ambition
which characterize too many of our young
men at the present day in embarking 10
matrimo monial life. 1t has become the rule
now at once to enter boarding houses. or
rent at exorbitant prices apartments in
city houses, aud years are dragged along
without bright look ahead, without pos
sessing in reality home, struggling from
hand to mouth perhaps to pay rent or
boarding bills, until after the best part of
this life is passed, while little or nothing
has accumulated; the whole income is
needed for immediate wants. and no
chance is left for remedying the great
mistake that was made at the outset. In
the first place, it is not prudent for any
young man to marry until he has, by
economy, saved few hundred dollars
above the amount which would be needed
in providing an outfit. Impatience is
only another name for imprudence. and
those who advise starting in life without
knowing that a provision is made for
emergencies. for the demands of an in
creasing family, for sickness, and for
disasters, are not good advisers. Yet
too many times is advice given to''marry
at once, or it may be too late" Ere a
twelve-month is passed. the folly of the
course is felt, and every effort is needed to
ward off tn trouble and provide for the ex-
egencies which should have been thought
Of at the outset. Marrying and boarding
is with majority of our young people
the rule. Some, with more energy than
others. commence housekeeping at once
10 rented tenements, and few dare at
tempt the acquisition of home of their
own. Now, 1 am not in such dread Of
the 'bugbear debt" as many are. and I
believe that home to struggle for from
the first, and earned fairly and squarely,
is the happiest and best appreciated; let
our young meu look about them and see
how many chances are constantly before
them for acquiring. at almost their own
terms, comfortable home. and our word
for it they will regret the mouey they
have for years paid into the hands of land
lords and agents. There are, we venture
to say, hundreds of little places. consis-
ting of house and an acre or two of land
10 our suburbs. which have been waiting
for months for purchaser. Situated in
localities accessible sometimes by horse
cars, always by steam. they can be bought
on the payment of a few hundred dollars
down, the balance to run for term of
years almost at the option of the purchaser,
at the legal rate of interest. Suppose q
place situated ten miles from the city. to
be bought for fifteen hundred dollars,
three hundred dollars down, and the rest
in yearly nstalments Of one hundred and
fifty or two hundred dollars; we have
known of such instances, and doubt not
that any real estate agent can mention
many others. 1t would require only an
expenditure of the yearly iDstalment, with
few dollars for taxes And, fifty dollars
or so for season tickets. to clear the home
stead in few years. As an equal amount
would be needed for city rents. if such
we're to be paid, and the advantage Of
