She believed herself deceived and cast aside for another, and life not worth, the living, but she was proud, and lived on bravely, making no moan: Major Grant had lost his health by exposure doing his army life, but would not for a moment doubt his entire.recovery He was always bet ter.

' ' A bunch of gray moss 'swung smartly in my-face and roused me to the fact, that the wind was rising, for added to . the mutter* of the river was the moaning of the pines. 1 Walked hastily to the levee, - • Every body was there, working or watching, for shou ld' a jet of water force its way through undiscovered a 'crevaSse was certain - and sure destruction. There was great danger that the levee could not withstand the force of the water without the wind, but with a gale it seemed hopeless. It was a yearly danger to which every one had become accustomed, so that no plans were changed, and all amusements went on as gaily as if destruction did not threaten every home for miles around,and our near est neighbors had invited us to at tend a country wedding with them that night.

'At length the hostess, - with the slightest flush of annoyance on her fair face, left Rnth to devote. herself to others. Ruth came over wherel was standing by an open - window, and puttink her hand on my shoulder turned her face from the light and said : 'Oh, Aunty, I am - so miserable.

Three hours had passed. The revel was at its height. The fair bride, her longldelayed hopes the gloomy 'prophecy exploded, floated in and ouLin the mazes of the dance, the gayest of the gay. Ruth, .her fait ,face flushed, seemed to have for gOtten her, sorrow in her enjoyment of this auspicious occasion. By . her grace and' tact.

'What. is that T' she . exclaimed, turning to ward tihe open window, through which came a dull, harsh murmur. BEfore she had timelo say more there was an uproar at the lower end of the room, ,a cry of 'CrevaSse! Crevasse!' from the affrighted ser vants., and Frank Russell rushing through a crowd .of. dancers, leaped upon a c. air - frA three steps from us And shouted . • The levee has broken ; . save your selves at once, there is no.tiine to lose.' There was an instant of awful si lence; every breath was hushed, and rosy cheeks were blanched with ter, ror ; then the voice,of the despairing bride rang out) • 4 Has it come true!

Franl',u eyes wandered over the hurrying crowd an instant in search of smile one he evidently, expected to see. Even in that terrible moment I could not help thinking how brave and handsome he was.

The blackness of -the night, the roaring of tlw wind, and ,the Increas lug thunder of the river were enough to appall the stoutest heart. But. we were hurried on, stumbling over, roots and stumps, caught and torn by vines and briars, dashed against trees by the rnging wind, spattered by the spray of the -rising water until we reached the place where Frank had left his boat. 1 The river was full of floating trees, the ruins of houses„ and:ail - the debris which the mad water had. wrested from its conquerors. IThe current was so strong itseemed;certain death to trust ourselves to it, - but it was the only chance. We stepped to the boat, and seized each an oar. We pushed out and the fight for life be gan. We were driven against huge floating logs, again andagain almost overturned, caught in the baanches , of some great tree that' rushed down the . current, and Which in the dark ness we could not see. - Cries of ter ror reached us now and then, but the thunder of the liberated river filled the air. ' It seemed the triumphing of the river god as he swallowed his vic tims, the human sacrifice to his power. We were trying to force onr way; through the crevasse up to'higher ground when suddenly a bonfire - some one had lighted hours before blazed up, and we saw clinging' in tho brauches of a tree rushing past'us toe bride clasped - tightly i.i the arms of he husband. Was the prophecy to fulfilled, "'lever a wife Cr omother?" Though the attempt Was madness, we strove to reach them.' Fortunately both Ruth and myself . were accom plished oarswomen and accustomed to the river. Frank stood up and called to'Jlieni while we bent, to our oars withall our strength. The bride: groom heard us and waVed his hand, in acknowledgment. Then Frank took the oars, Ruth the ole that was used to keep us from c Hiding with the floating masses, arid we rowed down the current after the great tree with its living burden A jutting bluff for a moment shutout the view of the . bonfire. When i shone upon 1 the floating, tree again, only the bare trunk and dripping bransl.es were to ,he seen. Ruth uttered a moan of ter tor. Frank changed our course,and we shot off, into the darkness again. After flows of desperate fighting for our lives, the faint light of dawn c.a'ne id our aid, 'and! at last we were able, to land. , , , • As soon as our feet were on firm ground again Ruth turned to Frank and - held out both her hands with tears in her eyes and trembling lips, but said no word./ - I.le drew her to him and kissed her/ again and again. Thvy were saved for each other, but, 1 thought of Major - Grant with a sigh. _ _ We found him at the house of a frienl miles back from the river, where he had been borne for safety, but the excitement and exertion had been too great for his strength. and lie was suffering (rem asevere.hemor rhte which was, wasting his life blood. Ruth went at once to him, leading Frank bY the hand. SOme hours after, as the Sun. was setting, we were all called to his room.. Ruth knelt on- the floor at his bedside with her face buried in her bands, and the Major's hands rested on her head. The dark curling hair lay in damp rings on his white foiebead, and the large sad eyes were - lifted as if in prayer. His lips moved. "Ruth, dear," he whispered. She raised her. head. He drew her to him with a yearning in his eyes that I f ivould not be fefused. Their lips ;met in one last, long kisi. Then he reached out and taking Frank's band tint Ruth's into it, and blessed them with a look of unutterable love till the light faded from his eyes forever. . _ "MARY A. ASHLEY. —ln Our Continent.

According to Professor Boyd Dawkins, the numerous discoveries made in France, Belgium and Switz. erland have enabled scientists to form a tolerably definite , idea as to the eitme man's habits and mode of life. Ile dwelt for the most part in caves, and he accumulated enormous masses . of refuse, bones of the ani mals on which he lived. In these refuse heaps Were numerous imple ments. of stone, bone and antler, spear-heads, arrow -heads, scrapers, : elaborately Cut harpoon eads, dab• orate needles of bone and antler, and belong with . th these occurred curious carvings representing the surround ings of the cave man, and for the most part reproducing. the forms of the animals on which he lived. From the numerous implement.) for scrap. ing skins,•it might be inferred that the cave man dressed in' skins, sewn together by needles. They also wore gloves, as was known frcim the rep resentations of gloves, with two, three or four fingers, and running al most up to the elbows, :like the 26- button gloves of the present time Perforated stones and shells and the teeth of bears, lions and wolves were Used ail necklaces and amulets. They adorned themselves With red raddle. which might be looked upon as the lineal ancestor of rogue. In their hunting they used spears and arrows. On one bit of antler found in France they saw the hunter carefully erecting up to-the gigantic ox—the great urns; in others they saw figures of bisons ' reindeer. hors es, and ibexes ; and in others the great woolly mammoth was repre seined so faithfully that were it not for the disCovery of the. creature in the frozen morasses 'of Siberia it would be said that the drawing was quite wrong. On the other:slabs of stone might be seen the birds anti fishes on which the cave men lived. AU those . outlines had been made with, a splinter of flint, and were 'en graved in a great many cases upon the bones and teeth -of the animals which were represented. The cave men also were sculptors, and the handles 'of some of their daggers made oC reindeer antler.or ivory rep resented the forth sometimes of a kneeling reindeer and at other times of elephants. * * * The cave men were hunters_ pure and simple; without . knowledge of Like metVi tt without domestic animals, and' vier- - even ignorant of the potter's art. Nor bad they left behind them any ev.dence that they were in the habit of burying their dead. Could the cave men be identified with any livinz rare ? The answer was to be found in their habits, im plements and art. On -the shores of the great Arctic Sea, on' both sides of Behring's Straits, and along the : north of the American Continent and Greenland, lived the Esquimaux, a people cut off' from all others, and whose origin was a puzzle to the eth nologist. Those people bad, exactly the same habit of accumulating re fuse, their implements were • exactly of the same kind, and their art was identical with that. of the cave_ man in Europe. They lived also to a large extent on the same animals, and they were careless , as to what happened to their dead. From_ all taiose lines of argument it might be interred that the Esquimaux was in all probability the living -representa tive of , the cave man, just as the musk sheep now livin g in Esqui maux-land was undoubte dly the rep resentative of the' musk sheep then living in France. Women as -Listeners. Woman is,primarilry a being who l i listens. §he has in these days lost much= of her original teachableness. but she Ills not yet'entirely discard ed the appearance-of being teachable. 'hiller capacity for he9ring without obeying lies her _true power. As a talker, she has her peers; as a listen er, she is unequalled. • . as, a' French writer says, the conversation of women in society is like . the straw ' in which china is pSeked4—worthless in itself, but with out which everything would be-brok efr—the listening of woman is what eaves us from• a Babel of tongues that would bring the sky _about our ears in no time. Not that woman - is' always, r, as a rule, unwilling. to use her-tongue (there is no need of being radical, but the listener who • encourages you with eyei and ex pression and appreciative laughter is a woman.

The Cross-Mark. .1•••••••••••11, The mark which peisons who are unable . ' to write are refklired to make instead of their signature is in the form of fi cross, and this practice, having -formerly been followed by kings and nobles, is constantly refer ed to as an instance of the deplore . - ble ignorance of ancient times. This signature is not, however, invariable proof of such igUorance, 'Anciently, the use of this mark was not confin ed to illiterate persons; for among the Saxons the mark of the -e'ress, as an attestation of the good faith of the person- signing, was required to be attached to the *nature of those who could write, 104 well as those who could not write In those times if a man could write:lir even real, his knowledge was considered proof poiitlve that he was .in hair Orders.

Hand-made fun, of that sort of which hunting in the dictionary for good words upon which to build bad puns is a sample, he dealt with, justly and severely. He spoke affectionately of Col:Ingersoll, whom he had known, he said, and found to contain much that is good: His f-uccess. the lecturer thought, was owing to his overwhelming .humor, which made his audiences laugh at their own dearest creeds. "And I belieVe," continued Mr. Burdette, se riously, While his audience was hush ed, "I -believe . Colonel Ingersoll's position is sound." There was a-mo tnetit's hesitation, and all the tittering stopped. "I know," continued the speaker, " it isn't th thing to any in this ball and to this audience • but I have said it, and I won't go • back on I have said." It appeared for • a moment that. Mr.- Burdette's candor h,tdgot the better of his dis cretion. Ile continued : - "But that is the trouble with - ingersoll; it is-all sound, like a bass druni, and no -sense." The orthodox andience was relieved and.expressed itself ingreat laughter. . • PUDDINO SAUCE.- Stir a teacupful of white s►igar att. two tablespoon fuls of butter smoothly together; arid the juice and half-the grated peel of a lemoni and the well.-beaten yolks of two eggs beat. well together, and set it on the fire to become well heat,: ed...
