known in the village that they were
upon the Continent when the river
kept rising. Miss Beamish rather ma
liciously limited that it was ON this score
they kept away. 'rt -,
"People," she said, "who were afraid
of the river, should not have come to
live SO near it" .e
She seemed wishful to make it out
that they were Sinking their share OF
the responsibilities arising on these per-
iodically recurring occasions. Had they
been present, they would have had to put
forth all their vigor not to have been
eclipsed by the maiden lady herself
Perhaps it would not be quite fair to
say that she made the most Of the oppor-
tunity. 500 &-'ifl
There was need for somebody to bestir
themselves; the river was setting the
example. Day and night, hour by hour
minute by minute, it rose higher. On
the Wednesday evening tales OF calamity
began to come in on all sides.

CHAPTER II.

On the Thursday morning the foods
were out in Nettleby Vale as they had
not been for many years. The river was
no longer to be traced; in Its place there
was lake. In all the lower parts of the
valley the water had spread until the
very look of the district was changed
Familiar landmarks had vanished, near
ly every hedgerow was blvtted out; tine
trees bad preposterous dumpiness, be-
ing cut off at the knees. Even the farms
and outlaying cottages we're only just
recognizable, no longer having around
them the customary crofts, gardens,
lanes, but only ridiculously short bits of
these. For the rest, a level, dull, whitish-
gray expanse cleaned everywhere. The
air was astir with multitudinous watery
murmur, and any other sound made a
heavy yet far-reaching noise, like voices
when snow is on the ground.
But it is not with the landscape gen.
orally we have juss now to do. Ketten-
ham turnpike still stood where it did; its
bordering hedgerows, with occasional
trees, looked very black and also very
little; but they ran on and on, turning
now one way, now the other, and stfil
showing abos the water. Along this
road, abous nait-past three in the after
noon, luxuriant little pony carriage
containing two ladies, drawn by a couple
Of long-talled Lilliputian animals, made
rapid progress. The occupants of the
carriage were Miss Beamish and Kate.
1t had rather strange look to see them
there, and said something for their cour-
age, for, at little distance, it seemed
rather that the carriage should have
been boat. But they were safe. The
road was still. high and dry, and, indeed
at intervals, on the left hand side, green
flowing fields yet showed. When passing
along the same road two hours before
the ladies and their vehicle looked
queerer. At their feet arose a pile Of
loaves, between them were propped two
large cheeses, cut into portions; here and
there, juss where they could be put
stuck out white packages Of groceries.
Miss Beamish had taken some greatly
needed provisions to a ferry, which still
communicated with a cluster Of cottages
whose approach to the town Kettenham
from whence they usually derived theil
support, was cut off. She and Kate were
not the only ones engaged in the gooc
work. The Rector Of Nettleby, though
an old man now, had gone off in another
direction, with his gig laden in the same
way. Lawyer WHISKY had done 30
The excitement of the occasion, and the
feeling of helped in doing praiseworthy
charity, had not lessened Kate's beauty;
there was some color in Miss Beamish's
withered cheeks, and her eyes were very
bright, as she sat stiffiy on the cushion.
II hear as how the water has burst
the bank at Ratclife, an, If it be
60, we shall ha' it higher yet" 80 ir
The speaker was an elderly, smock
frocked laborer, who came out at gate
leading into an upland field, where I
little crown of wild staring cattle hac
been gathered together. He had a pitch
fork on his shoulder, and bits of ha,
upon his clothing showed that he hae

VIII moi our Cigar Dealers Keep
the sabbath.
For the Republican

FOT Jne hepuJhoah'
Our cigar stores almost universally
are open on Sundays contrary to law,
and iniuring the morality of the city.
They sell their wares on Sunday, and
their shops are a rendezvous for young
men who should be- in the church ahd
bible class. There are many OF these
cigar stores whose owners would close
on Sunday if others would do so. Can
there not be voluntary arrange
ment for closing on Sundays' Are there
not some christian cigar dealers who
will start this movement, and so give
them day of rest 10 enable them to
spend one day in seven with their fam.
lilies, and to attend church. Who will
start this movement
In our neigh boring city of Chester 10
cigars are sold, nor is any intoxicating
liquor sold on Sundays. Here both are
sold, cigars openly and liquor some
what less openly. Our cigar dealers
are in great measure respectable NOR
al men. We hope they will take hold
of this matter themselves, and will
voluntarily stop that which will be no
profit to them in the long run, but will
demoraliz9 themselves, their families,
their employees and those who frequent
their stores. SABBATH.

The Seneca Indian Lands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--Mr. Van Aer-
nam. of the Cattaraugus IN. W district
has introduced bill in the House to
authorize the Seneca Nation of Indians,
of New York, to grant title to lands for
cemetery purposes. The bill provides
that it shall be lawful for the Seneca
Indians, though their council, to quit
claims to the Wildwood Cemetery Asso-
clatiou of the Village of Salamanca
not to exceed 80 acres of lard within
the village limits for cemetery and
public purposes. A proviso to the bill
requires that suitable plot of land
within wildwood Cemetery shall be
set aside for the interment Of Indians
resident on the Allegany Reservation.
1t may perhaps be worthy of the notice
of the Seneca Indians and their friends
that while the bill is styled in the
the title "a bill to authorize the Seneca
Nation of Indians of the State OF
New-York to grant title to lands for
cemetery purposes, "the text makes it
lawful to quit-claim 80 acres of land for
cemetery "and other public purposes. "
The words last quoted may have some
hidden meaning.
