Dhulep Singh sped as if impelled by q
consciousness of the glad tidings she bore
to the forlorn heart on the Cape, gazing
with despair along the far off verge Of

return to cheer her life again.
1t was glad moment for all on board
when the bare, yellow sand hills of Cape
Cod and the Highland Lighthouse hove

question which often arises in life is
whether the happiness that succeeds ad-
yersity and sorrow is dearly purchased at
that rate. Probably, if we had the choos-
ing Of our destiny, we should shrink from
such q valuation of good fortune. But
Providence, which lays down the laws
for man, has otherwise ordained, and de-
crees that as in art 50 in life the strongest
effects of light shall be gained by d deep
contrasting shade; that rep0se shall come
as a relief from toll and pain; that rap
ture shall be rapture because it is the re-
vulslon from -powering anguish of
soul. Hard is the law, terrible the price
we pay for what happiness we have in
life, but there is only one philosophy that
is OF any practical value here below, and
that is to accept the inevitable
This train of thought received Il practi-
cal eXemplificaton when Captain Baker,

ago. The wedding which followed before
many weeks needs little comment it was
one Of unusual solemnity and happiness .
and the chubby, ,blue-eyed, dimple cheek
ed little girl, who appeared in due season
thereafter, was regarded with peculiar
feelings. 1t was a warm welcome indeed
which she received from Grandmother
Baker, who at one time had given up all
prospect of eve: seeing this little grand
daughter.
"Ah, little one, you little know how
