and bent over her.
1t was her husband. And at the
sight of him, i'll as she was, the past
and all its misery rose before her once
again.
Harry" she whispered, looking up
at him with a steady gaze, (which is it
to be? She or I?"
"Oh, hush, my darlingi' he scbbed.
Don't come back to me from the very
brink of the grave with such question
or your lips! love no one but you,
Kitty"
"Haye 1 been ill?' she asked
dreamily.
For three days we have thought
you dying"
"And were you sorry? ?" she asked,
with searching glance.
Sorry
"Where where is she?" gasped
Kitty.
"Gone to her aunt's in New York. We
both thought it best. She will not
come again. And you must forgive
us both too, Kitty. We never dreamed
that you were feeling like that. Why
did you not speak before, love? l
would have staid with you each mo-
ment of the time. never would have
stirred one step from the house with
Teresa, and / am sure that she would
not have wished me to-"
Kitty, being woman, had her doubts
of that.
But, after all, what did it matter :?
The pain was past and gone, and she
had got him back again, having come
back, out of the very jaws of death, to
win him for the second time.
So Margaret Parke, returning to the
Cottage in due season, found the wed.
ded pair together still, and apparently
as happy as ever. But there is look
now and then in Kitty's eyes, that new
er came there in the days of old-a
feeling now and then in her heart,
that she never knew before her "les-
son" had been so thoroughly learned.
For perfect faith in the fidelity of
those we love is a thing that comes to
US but once in life. We may love on
after it is gone, and love as fondly as
ever; but oh, not so happily. The
bloom is brushed from the purple fruit,
the perfume has left the flower, and
no regret or sorrow On our part, or the
part of another, can ever render back
these precious things again.

ONLY A BOY.

Only a boy, with his noise and fun,
The veriest mystery under the sun;
AS brim.ul OF mischie', and wit, and glee,
AS ever a human frame can be,
And as hard TO manage aS-HhatY an me
Ills hard TO tel,
Yet we love him well.
Only boy, with his fearful tread,
Who cannot be driven, but must be led;
Who troubles the neighbOIs' dogs and cats,
And tears more clothes, and spollS more
hats,
Loses more kites and tops and bats,
Than would stock a store
For year or more.
Only n boy. with his wild, strange ways,
With his idle hours on his busy days;
With his queer remarks, ana his odd re-
plies,
Sometimes foolish, and sometimes wise,
Often brilliant for one Ot his size,
AS meteor hurled
From the planet world.
Only boy, WHO will be man,
10 Nature goes on with her first great plan
IL water, or fire, or some fatal snare,
COnSpire not TO rob US of this our heir,
Our blessing, our trouble, our rest, our
care,
Our torment. our JOY

How De Long and His Men We're
Buried

1t was Chief Melvilles intention to bury the
remains upon the bank where they were
found, but the natives assured him that in all
probability any tomb would be washed away,
as when the river broke up in the spring
there would be about four feet Of water over
the entire delta. He, therefore, had them all
removed to the top of a hill of solid rock
about three hundred feet high, about forty
versts to the southwest, and there constructed
a mausoleum Of wood from the wreck of the
scow near where they were found. First
gigantic cross was hewn out Of solid piece
of driftwood and erected on the crest Of the
hill. and saround it was built q box six feet
wide, two feet deep and twenty-five feet long,
placed exactly in the magnetic meridian.
After the bodies had been placed therein the
box was covered with timbers laid side by side
and ridge pole sixteen feet long framed into
the cross five feet above the lid of the coffin,
the ends supported by timbers having the
same inward slant. Against this ridge pole
were placed timbers side by side until the
whole formed true pyramid, and then STOKES
were heaped upon the entire structure, 50
that it looks like pyramidal mound OF stones

twenty-five feet high from the surface Of the
