CHAPTER vII.-THE CATASTROPHE.

And so these two fair women talked,
making plans for the future as though all
things endured forever, and all plans were
destined to be realized. But even as they
talked, somewhere up in the high heavens
the Voice that rules the world spoke
word, and the Messenger of Fate rushed
forth to do its bidding. On board the
great ship was music and laughter and
the sweet voices of singing women; but
above it hung pail Of doom. Not the
most tinid heart dreamed OF danger.
What danger could there be aboard of
that grand ship, which sped across the
waves with the ightness and confidence
Of the swallow There was naught to
fear. A prosperous voyage was drawing
to its end, and mothers put their babes to
sleep with as sure heart as though they
were on solid English ground. Oh! surely
when his oyerfowing load of sorrows and
dire miseries was melted cut to man, some
gentle Spirit pleaded for him-that he
should not have foresight added to the
tale, that he should not see the falling
knife or hear the water tapping that one
day shall entomb him? Or, was it kept
back because man, having knowledge,
would be man without reason?-for terror
would make him mad, and he would end
his fears by hurrying their fulillmentl At
least, we are blind to the future, and let
US be Handful for it.
Presently Lady Holmhurst got up from
her chair and said that she was going to
bed, but that, first Of all, she must kiss
Dick, her little boy, who slept with his
nurse in another cabin, Augusta rose and
went with her, and they both kissed the
Gleeping child, bonny boy of FIVE, and
then they kissed each other and separated
for the night.
Some hours afterwara, Augusta woke
up, feeling very restless. For an hour or
more she lay thinking of Mr.. Tombey and
many other things, and listening to the
swift slap, lap" of the water as it slipped
past the vessels sides, and the occasional
tramp of the watch as they set fresh sails.
AT last her feeling Of unrest got too much
for her, and she rose and partially, very
partially, dressed herself-for in the gloom
she could only find her flannel vest and
petticoat-twisted her long hair in coil
round her head, put On hat 1nd thick
ulster that hung upon the door-for they
were running into Gully latitudes-and
slipped out on deck.

| sat alone with my conscience,
In place where time had ceased,
And we talked of nay former living,
In the land where the years increased,
And felt should have to answer
The question it put to me.
And TO face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight.
And things that / thought We're dead things
Were alive with a terrible might;
And the vision of my past life
Was an awful thing to face,
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemn, silent place.
And thought of a far-away warning,
Of the sorrow that was to be mine,
In the land that then was the future,
But now is the present time;
And thought of my former thinking
OF the judgment day to be,
But sitting alone with conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me.
And I wondered if there was future
To this land beyond the grave;
But no one gave me an ;,nswer.
Aud no one ne UC S1Ve

And the present would never go by,

Grown into eternity.

And the vision passed away,
And | knew the far-away warning
Had a warning of yesterday.
And pray may not forget it
In this land before the grave,

That no one came to save.

So sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase,
And / try to remember the future
In the land where time will cease,
And know of the future judgment,
How dreadful so e'er it be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgment enough for me.

the final result is expected to be an in

crops are lost by too much economy and
failure to apply labor aud plant food at
a time when most needed. If extensive
seed, fertilizers and labor are necessary
