a LIFE. STORY.

lone day when growing tall and old.
And wise enough to wander where I will,
Then I shall climb the height and find the
gold
That hides behind the hilli
So thought a child. whose home was in the
vale,
Watching an amber sunset fade and die.
Telling herself the children's endless tale
OF life's sweet by and by.
Years passed, Love came. she climbed the
height with him,
But only saw the glory in his gaze!
Earth was so bright, and heavens gold so
dim
In those enchanted days!
More years went by. and she was all alone
In the sweet valley of her early past;
The dream came back, and faith in things
unshown
Was found again at last.
One eventide when she was gray ana old,
And wise enough to know the Higher
VIII,
She climbed the height. and then she found
the gold
That hides behind the hill.
Sarah Doudney, in Leisure Hours.

The stronger wind. as it seemed. was
now helping us, for the sail astern no
longer enlarged, after the former fash
ion. Indeed, I thought the Pilanca
was nearly holding her own. In due
time our watch went on, and till the
other relieved us the supercargo and I
were about the deck.
1t was now the time that we were
to meet to discuss our plans, and ac-
cordingly Mr.. lynn and l slipped up
from below (where we had gone with
the rest, to seem the more naturaD and

There will be no need to give the full

Mr.. lynn and slightly amended by the

We could make this cask of odds and

4 BaRed Tigress.

An officer of the Bengal lancers, who
was seized by tigress, owed his escape
to a curious accident. The tigress
seized him by the breast of his coat
and shook him till he became uncon-
seious. On recovering he heard a
strange noise at little distance, as if
somebody was sneezing violently. II
was the tigress herself. He slowly
turned round and gave furtive glance
in that direction. He could hardly be-
i.eve his eyes. There was the tigress
sinking off with her tail %sry much
between her legs and sneeZing most
violently. and making the most piteous
grimaces. The truth dawned upon him
like a fash of lightning. In the opera
ticn of shaking him his snuffbCX had
flown open from his waistcoat pocket,
and the tigress had received the con-
tents thereof full in her face.-Cornhill
Magazine.

CHAPTER VIu.-CoNTINUED.

I got below, and in great WEAKNESS
put down Mr.. Tym's box and fetched
glance around. By degrees, as l be-
came accustomed to the duskiness, ]
made out the features of the place.
1t was low for the bigness of the
ship, and was furnished after a very
poor and rough sort. The hunks and
hammocks were old and fit to drop
apart, none of the timbers or work of
the ship were smoothed except by the
friction of use, and Il mere dilapidated
fence served as bulkhead to part off
the cooks quarters. Luckily the
smells of the place, i'll as they were
for all was disordered and dirty-were
not of the worst, for at this time both
a windward and a leeward port stood
partly open, and the passage of the
small breeze through served to sweep
out the chiefest of the odors.
We did not come by good knowl-
edge of the place instantly, for it was
somewhat dimly lighted, the port on
the larboard side being closed and that
upon the starboard standing scarce two
inches upon the hook, but upon peer
