u am glad we have got to the Presump-
SCOT" said the Skipper, as he went about
and headed for Fort Georges. The sight up
the harbor was very pleasant now, or would
have been if we had felt less hungry. and
less chilled and cramped. A line of bright
lights stretched across Portland bridge at its
head, and the harbor was dotted with lights
of vessels swinging at their anchors. The
city shone like field of stars, and the glim-
mering line stretched along the Cape shore
and across the islands, while big govern
ment ship lay off Fort Pfeble showing a row
OF nights from stem to stern, and fleet .o
porgie steamers was coming in, one after an.
other, with each bright lantern at the mast.

and starboard.
This is better than being but in the forest
alone, and having the bears smelling at YOU ,,

the children and covering them more closely.
''Do go on" said the widow, "and tell us
how they got home"
"Dia 1 say they did get home, madam ?n
replied, wishing of course to keep up the in.

were walking right into the arms of the In.
dams, who held all the shores of the harbor
except Bangs Island to which small party
had retreated, and where they kept their foes
at bay by incessant vigilance, but expecting
every hour an attack which might overpower
them.
"But Lydia Corbln knew nothing of this
she only knew that she was struggling to
reach her friends, and she hoped for the best.
And Joe knew that he was to be brave
little boy and not cry if his feet were worn
and sore, and that they must get away from
the indians who would kill them if thew
caught them. So on they plodded, every
now and then startling partridge which
went whirring away, or turning aside to
avoid harmless snake, which looked fright
full to the little boy. Their delay at the river
had consumed much time, aad soon the day
began to wane, and the crows flew over them
In long lines, winging their way homeward."
Did they see any bears?" asked the vola-
tile young lady.
ayes, my dear, they saw two or three, but
the bears galloped away so fast that they
did not see them long. Bears don't run
after folks unless they abuse the prophets -
"Well, go up, old bald-head," returned the
impudent young woman" This I considered
unkind, as my hair is getting little thin in
spots, but took no notice of the sarcasm.
although the skipper and the long mate
chuckled. But the amiable widow begged
me to go on.

Whittier, midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last steps OF day,
Far, through their rosy depths dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vanly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy di. taut flight to do thee wrong,
AS, darky seen against the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide.
Or where the rocking pillows rise and sink
On the chafed ocean side?
There Is power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless coast
The desert and iimtable air.
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day thy wings have famed,
AT that far height. the cold thin atmosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
Though the dark night is near
And soon that toll shall end;
Soon shalt thou find a summer home and rest,
And scream among thy fellow; reeds shall bend
Soon, Ger thy sheltered nest
Thou'Tt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He who, from zone to zone,
GUIDES through the boundess sky thy certain hgh
In the long way that must tread alone,
Will lead my steps Alright.

children, must be nearly starved to death.
So the baskets were got out, and we made a
hearty lunch, which as it afterwards proved
had to serve as our dinner. While we ate,
and afterwards smoked our pipes and wasted
our time on frivolous conversation, we slipped
along by Cousins and Littleiohn's islands and
were just passing Great Moges, and straining
in the distance, when off to the North towards
Freeport we espied big black cloud. A
council was held, and after fully considering
the probability that the time we should lose
by heaviDg to for the squall would make us
too late in returning, we decided to turn back
and run away from the shower, which was
likely to 60 off to sea to the eastward OF u.s.
But going back was not so easy as we had
hoped. The wind died away, and the sail
tapped loosely for an hour, while the shower
came nearer and nearer. Presently down it
came with rush, wind and rain together.
Down came our sail too in hurry and the
ladies and children were slowed away under it
to keep as dry as circumstances would permit.
After an hour of weary waiting and soaking
we got up the sail again and commenced
beating our way slowly back to town. Again
an outpost of the shower came over US, and
we anchored off Lttlejohn's island and put
the family under the sal! once more. When
that had PASSED over and we were again on
our way home, the afternoon was we'll adj
vanced; there was scarcely any wind and the
little we got was dead ahead. We had about
ten miles to go if we could have gone direct,
but such distance as we made it by sailing
back and forth from Cousins island to Great
Chebeague! thought we should never get
through that passage, and when we got up to
Little Chebeague the stars were out. The
Shippers noble brow began to darken with
anxiety, and, some other brows not before
mentioned. began to darken with indignation
at being fooled into such an expedition. 1t
was chilly, too; the last of the luncheon had
been divided among the children; we had
sung all the songs we knew and finally had
settled down to suffer and bs strong. 1 felt
that was avenged. We were pointed for
Clapboard Island now. The little widow said
softly, "Mr. Newbegin, please tell us how she
became widow"
