Broke on them the wild water; There wa no hope for mfety none, And they wore 'mid tho flood alone. Nearly opposite Valley Forge, on tho north bank of tho Schuylkill, Btanda a small deserted .etoue house, having but a room above aud a room below. It stands solitary and alone, with the Schuylkill in front and level green meadows behind, stretching far away in the distance y lhis hoiifto was once tenanted by a good, honest old Scotchman, named Stephen Mattisoo, generally called Old Stepriie, who Ivad tended the fcrfy for years, and was "well to do in the world then," aa ha quaintly ox- pressod.it: but since, tho towing path was coutinued down the south side of the river, rendering the ferry unneces sary, he had managed to earn but a scanty support for himself and wife by bis daily labor on tho urms oi tne neighborhood. Old Stephie had, among many ex cellent traits of character, one or two prominent failings: He was self-willed, and sometime, despite his chrktian faith, apt to be despondent and fretful, especially wiien there was little work to be had, as was too frequently the case in the winter Bcasou. But his patient, hopeful wife, bustled about at such time, and made a great show of the potatoes, cabbages, aud other veg etables she had raised in their little garden. Yes, Nellie was thrifty, and a "canny house-keeper," as .Stephie proudly observed to his friends, in con fidence. And it was true, too, as any one could sec who entered their hum ble a part incut. To bo sure, bhe was obliged to keep a curious assortment of articles in that ouq room: kettles and pans, and a barrel of flour, all ranged ou one side; but tho pans and kettles ehene, they were so brightly scoured ; the barrel, covered with a board cut in halfnval shape, was covered with white muslin, from which a curtain of the same material depend ed tn the floor, forming altogether Nellie's t',Ifct-8tuml; the deal tublo aud the few chairs were white nud clean; and the enps and plates display ed to the best advantage in the cor ner cupboard ; two bnt-s candle sticks glittered on the mantle shelf, in the centro nf which, like a treasure of known value, lay their Bible. Tiiere was nobody in the wide world equal to Stephie, in Nellie's estiina mation, and it was touching to see the trusting admiring expression on her face, in the light of the splendid hick ory fire, as she sat knitting and listen ing tn her "gude nion" reading and ex pounding frontlmt blessed book every night. She liked to hear "nao body sae weal," sho was once heard to suy : "to be sure, Stephie hr.d to spell a word betimes, but hap-in' that, he was a beautiful reader' At the time of which I ppeak, and this sketch embodies facts, it was Feb ruary. The snow lay white and thick over tho earth, when suddeuly there came one of those warm spells of weather peculiar to this month. The snow began to melt, the ice bound streams to flow, and there was every indication of a great thaw. All day long tho warm sun shone brilliantly, but gradually a deuso heavy fog arose over all the land, till one could not see a friecd's face at a stoue throw's distance. Toward eveniug it com menced to rain, a heavy, continuous rain. All night it rained unceasingly, and all the next day. The river rose rapidly, and Nellie became alarmed wheu its cold still waters crept sileut ly around and up to the very threshold of their little dwelling, but still the vast, solid body of ice iu the centre lemained unbroken. During the day she had entreated Stephie, at intervals, to carry their movable furniture up stairs, and then leave the house until the rain ceased and the river ll'l But old Stepliio was "a little heady," as Nellie expressed it, and thought he knew best Indeed, the pious old woman was overheard to pray, "Dear Lord, be pleased to make Stephie right, for Thou knowest he is very set." All in vain? Stephie was as im movable as the hills. Tho house had stood "wanr storms nor that," he-said "besides, was it not truilt on a braw foundation T She was always e easily frightened, puir wco body," aud he regarded the little silver-haired woman fondly, "but noo thero was na ony danger, God be thankit; uae'llielesi he wad assist her, juat to keep her niiud easy like,".whii h he d'.d accordingly, aud they soon got everything portable to tuo second floor.' Hour after hour they waited, and hoped, aud tileutly in their own hearts tluv praved a3 liio niirht advanced, i but still ' the w.tteis tuevjuched md JUNE 17, 187 1. the rain continued. They had been obliged to take refugo upstairs them selves, and Nellie had ceased to turn imploring looks to Stephie now, for the water was rilling tho room .below, and they could not leave without as sistance. Suddenly there was a load, crashing noise. The Schuylkill burst its strong fetters of ico, and rushed and roared and spread itself like an angry sea over the meadows beyond Stephie's house. The frail tenement rocked to its centre in the shock, and - the terri fied couple rushed, to the window and screamed loudly for assistance. AlaJ.wliat human could reaeH theni? Who could think of trusting himself in that fierce torrent among those fearful blocks of ice? . Speedily their cow and pig were carried away, and unless the rain ibated they must soon. follow them in evitably. Already among the cakes of Ico they could discern animals, trees and cabins Booting down in the gath ering darkness. Already the flood was over tlieir chamber lloor, ana it was heart-rending to hear their aconiz ing cries over the din and roar of the t:rrible waters. Who could bear to see them swpct away jrithout an at tempt at succor? Poor old people! They were too cood. too unoffending, and too much respected not to have the heartfelt sympathy ana commiseration oi wie little band of men and women collect od on a bluff on tho opposite shore, trying to contrive what couid bo dou'e for their rescue. Iu their eagerjess to do something a boit was procured, and ropes; but where was the man who would peril his life in that raging flood? or where was tho wife or mother that could let husband or son en to almost certain destruction ? It was not to bo thought of. and all wero stonding uncertain what to do, whilst the torturing cries of "Old Stephie i nd his wife made themselves heard distinctly above tho roaiinir of the river, when up came the proprietor of the public works of tho village. All instinctively turned to him, for he was a kind-hearted man and a gen erous one. He could not hear the cries of old Stephie unmoved but what was to be dyne? He could not make tho attempt himself, for thero was a delicate wife and five fiir chil dren in his handsome home, to whom he whs all in all. . Standing in their midst, he made abort but moving speech in behalf of the old forrvman and his wife, and concluded by orTciiii a purse of a hundred dollars to the m,ui who (should succeed in rescuing them. This was a tempting sum to these poor factory pcoplfl, most of whom were to use tlna expressive language of common parlance, "from hand to month" in their way of living. There was silence for a moment or two, save the sullen roar of the river, and the screams of its victims, during which one or two of tho men seemed irresolute, almost willing to go, when the womanly touch or whisper, that could not give tuem tin rcstraiuoxi them. At this iuncture a messenger came running almost breathless, fVom "The Locks" a mile above, to say that . the bridgo near there had been swept away, and was now coming down the river, taking everything in its way. 1 oor old coupftj, all gave them up now as lost, when nt this critical moment, a stranger of fine figure, erect and tall, emerged from tho midst of the little bund, gave a few quiet but imperative orders, and springing 'into the ready boat, rowed away in amongst the blocks of ice with an energy aud strength that seemed almost superhu man. There had been lighted pine torches aflixed to the prow und teru of the boat, and the dark, athletic form of the stranger could bo seen distinctly, now rowing desperately, now spring ing out ou huge blocks of ice, aud pushing or pulling the boat, now borne down the stream in spite of ev ery Wort for a time, then rallying, turning aud pushing shoreward again, like oue sustained by miraculous pow er, until the little boat shot under the window of old Stephie's house. During that perilous passage, there was not a heart on hore that had not prayed for the safety of the daring stranger, and excitement grew intense, almost to agony, as tho little boat with its added burden was seen butl'eting the waters again. The rain which had ceuscd for awhile, nww poured down in torreuts. The torches of tho boat were soon extinguished, and nothing could be heard but the rain, aud the roaricg of the ice. Unmindful of the rain, and iu breathless expectation, the meu held out their lanterns, and strained their eyes to see through the thick darkness. Nothing could be seen, and oh ! the long moments of intolerable BU3ponse! 'lho men could endure it no longer; tl.cv shouted uud listened, but no an tCttlt $2 PER ANNUM. swer came. Again they shouted and again ana again, nsieningai intervals. At length, to their inexpressible re lief, they were'nnswercd, and soon, by the light of the lanterns, could be seen the prow of the boat, and the stranger, erect and bare-headod, wielding a long pole and struggling on with incredible difliculty toward tlie shore. A shout, loud and prolonged, rent the air, and in another instant a dozen stout hand were hauling the boat tip t'.e bank. As soon as it touched the shore the stranger sprang out, nnd lifting Nellie out carelully and tenderly gave her in charge of the women. Old Stephie fol lowing, and marvelous to relate, all tiueo or tpem were evidently uuhonn ed. Ostensibly to'soe Nellie, but. really to see tho stranger, inn terns were lilted to the range of the stranger's face. It was strikingly handsome and Superior looking, with clitssicul features,' large dark eyes, and a superb forehead,over which the rich dark haiT swept, m damp massive waves ; but it was pale as death despite the exertion, and at) sorrowful iu expression, that the hearts of tho beholders were touched will) sudden and involiiiintary sympathy. At this moment the proprietor press cd forward through the crowd, ollering the purse. A sudden contemptuous gleam, accompaniod by a haughty, im patient gesture, flashed from tlie dark eves of the stranger, but instantly sub ek'ed into a melancholy smile and indulgent pity as he took the purse, placed it in Nellie's hand, and bowing to the proprietor in a manner that commanded too much respect to ad mit ol curiosity, siltntly withdrew. CHAPTER II. '1 hear a voice you cannot hear, It tells me not to stay ; I nco a hand you cannot see, That beckons mo away." The bright sun shone us calmly down, next morning, over wreck and ruin, as though no sorrowing heart, mourning over lost homes und lost possessions, were there to welcome hiru. It Bhone also, on the nalo, peace ful features of the dead, for thero was a corpse in our lutie village. The uo ble stranger of the night before had committed suicide! lie had come to "The lun" only the eveuiug before aud the proprietor had found him next morning lying back in an easy chair beside (he window, with his lace lip- turned lu the solemn sky dead I quite dead ! Shot through the head by his own hand ! 1 tie powerless hand, small and delicate as a woman's, had fallen over the arm of the cluur, aud the re volver lay on the floor by his side. On a small stand near him lay the miniature of a most beautiful woman in a gold case, set round by diamonds of priceless value. Enough of the bust was visib'e to disclose a dress of blue satin, aud there was a simple turquoise necklace encircling the fault le?s neck. The face was exceedingly fair, with large deep blue eyes, and a white regal brow, lrom which the part ed hair fell in natural curls of rich golden brown. The mouth was tin commonly beautiful, and there was an expression of angelic sweetness and In nocence characterizing the whole face. On the stand also, was a sheet of fools cap paper, blotted und blurred, and eviuuniiy written over at intervals uur- ing the night. It was as tollo.ws: "Death lnw no bitttirnen liko life.

Is there another among all Gud's creatures bo wretched, desolato, inured to sorrow. Man of sorrows have inercv on me!" The stranger was laid to rest in tho quiet grave nilh the miniature of his beloved cu his heart. It is a beautiful spot where they have laid him. "The narrow house" occupies a high bluff of tho river shore, aud there, on the farthest point of it, where there is the most extensive view of the river wind ing its soliturj way afar off, under tall trees beautiful with sunshine and verd ure, and tuneful with the songs of birds and whispering breezfJs, a simple white cross points out the stranger's grave. An old white-headed man may still be aecn there occasionally watering the grass and training the flowers his trembling hands have planted with reverent care ; and if you approach him with kindness aud tact, he will be very ppt to tell you with tears in his eyes, how the noble hearted dead uu der that stone periled his life for him, for him, a poor old ferryman, and as he goes on in his story he will point you to the old .deserted stone house from which the stranger rescued him ; and then, lowering his voice, he will tell yon of the miniature of the beau tiful lady of his love, and then com ing nearer, and in a whisper, while the tears course slowly down his furrowed cheek, he will hint about his melan choly death, and finally with a fervent "God rest b;8 soul !" turn away and busy himself ubout the grave again. Poor old Stephie! a little while, a very little while, and he too will seek a resting plneo where Nellie is sleep ing in the churchyard and there will be but that cross and this simple rec ord to tell of the stranger's grave.
