We'll gn lo flic 'Z'SI,' flint llio.se Eng lish books tell so 111 lla-ll 111 toll!, alitl we'll ellnib to the very ti|-fo| of the pyramids, and we'll go shopping in Perls—Just think of it—and we'll see the Queen,jterliaps. Oh, isn't it too nice for anything and she end ed in a little scream of delight. '1 think I shall like the ocean Is st ; and the whales, you know," replied her sister contentedly. Slio was the youngest of the family, and wan more of a quiet little house body than the rest. '1 shall sit aud watch the water, aud oh, Alice, just think of the sunsets, without the least luitc of a house or a hill between !' 'I know,' said Alice carelessly, as she waltzed with herself around the room. 'There'll 1; clouds though,l suppose. Now dear, don't moralize on that, and say that the clouds are what makes the sunset bright ! All 1 care for is that we're going, we're going, and we are to sail on the Sa maria just six week's from to-morrow !* 'Why, how nice ! Then we'll all be—' 'Good !' ami Alice's hiugb rang out merrily. 'I don't know alMiut the 'good' part,' said Sue, puckering up lu-r mouth in Iter funny, stdeuin way. 'And 1 hope there won't In* any thieves on board. Now, Alice, let's plan.' Here followed such a breathlessly excit ing discussion of hats and dresses and wool en st nils for the voyage, as only two girls of sixteen and fourteen can carry on, when fairly started. 1 taring the succeeding days the library was rauisacked for books of travel, and directions for the journey. Ou the Sunday before tin* day of sidling, the minister addisl tin* last straw by preaching from the text. 'They that go down to the sea in ships.' 'We shan't have to go down,' whispered mischievous Alice ; 'papa says you have to walk right iij>-hill from the wharf to get ou board.' Sue's face twitched a lit tie, lint she looked toward the pulpit harder than ever. You couldn't make Sue laugh in church, and when near the end of a long seruion, sotue of the older members dosed their eye* pla cidly, or knitted their brow s absent iiiind edly, and throughout the congregation there was that subdued rustling of fans ami |silk dresses, so annoying to a speaker, the min ist-cr was always sure to Hud ouo pair of ser ious blue eyes Hxed upon liiin, and one lit tle pair of ears listening to every syllable of the 'thirdly' and 'fourthly' he had jienned so carefully in his study. You wouldn't have caught Sue falling out of window while I'aul was preaching. Well, Sutmlay came at last, aud a sou derful day it was. The splashing, muddy ride from their home to the little country station on the Eastern railroad, the last look at the ml chimneys ami the roumhxl tops of the maples ami elms, all quivering with the fresh grown* epriim ami t!*<> rush of sap through their vein, the stout conductor, nodding pleasantly to the whole family, as he swayed along through the aisle aud paused to punch their four tickets. 'Guess you're lwmnd off this time, Mr. Raymond ? Thought I sho'd have to put another car on to curry your baggage.' It was a curious feeling, this mingling with the ordinary life of the other passen gers, buying the morning pa)ier from the newsboy, |eop)o who would ride over the same road iu a few hours, while they— where would they lie, when night fell ? 'lt seems just like holding your opera glass up to one eye, and looking straight a liead with the other,' Sue confided to licr mother, nestling closer, and laying licr cur ly head ii|Min licr shoulder. Out of the cars, and into a hack, with an express team full of trunks lundicring lic liiud. Then the ferry, which was quite a voy'age in itself,w itli the great milky waves rolling after them as they splashed across tiic liarlsir. In live minutes more they were on the wharf, in the midst of bales, Itoxes, teams, men running to and fro, hors es hacking distractly, deck-hands rattling along their noisy trucks, and, pervading everything and everyliody, a strong odor of tar. 'I told you so,' laughed Alice excitedly,as they passed up the smooth gang-way plank ami louml their way to the saloon. She was in a high state of nervous delight,while Sue, on the other hand, w as feeling sober at the thought of leaving home. She had nev er known how dear it was—even the old tarry docks and* warehouses—until half an hour later, the last hawser was thrown oil, and the ship, with a tremor from stern to stern, began that thud, thud, of the propell er-wheel which was not to cease until they should signal for a Haider, oft' Quoenstowu Harbor. They all stood U|KII the upper deck, waving tlieir hankerchiefs to those on the wliarf, as long as they could sec tlieni. By this time the steamer had reached the middle of the stream, and, heading for the O|KMI ocean, was soon past the Outer Light, with her journey fairly before her. Then Sue felt the surge of homesickness come o vor her, until it seemed as if she must tiing herself overboard, rather than lie borne olf in tills great, remorseless ship. And that little patch of blue water was to widen, wi den, until it should stretch away, full three thousand miles between lier aud home. A latge drop trickled down lier clunk and fell UJMIII her baud,which was helplessly clutch ing the brass rail encircling the huricane deck. As she turned away, her eyes blurr ed so that the great ml funnel seemed as wavy as the volumes of black smoke that l>ouml steadily out of it. Sue knew what was the wisest thing to do in such a case, and she dhl it. She look ed about to see whether she could help ootn lort anybody else. Presently she found an old lady, who was trying to adjust herself with a heavy rug, in one of those long steamer chairs that are so hard to get into when they are straightened out. Sue hclj od lier, and then tucked the rug almut licr feet so nicely that, the old lady thanked lier, and asked her if she felt badly at leaving home. This opened Sue's heart at once,and they were soon the ls-st of friends. Before long, as she sat on a camp stool, talking to her new acquaintance, and to licr mother, who had also been comfortably wrapped and tucked in by licr little daugh ter, she began to have a queer feeling iu the top of her head. Looking up, she noticed with some interest that the upper bar of the railing now and then dipped below the ho rizon line ; that sometimes it went quite a distance above it ; that she was leaning slightly, first one way then the other, to keep her balance, as the ship swung ou the long, easy swell of the ocean ; that people did not talk so much as at first ; that It. was very unpleasant to have the deck-steward urge her to "avo some lunch.' In short, our jm.ir little sailor soon dlsippeaml dowu l lie companion-way, and it seemed ages !•- fore slip eltmlssl tliose stairs again. Such misery as filled the next two days she had never known. O, how she loiiyisl for five minutes on shore. 'How near are we to laud ?' she had once asked in utter despair ; and the choery ste wardess replied : 'Only a mile and a 'alf, inuiu ; its just under us !' Among Rue's troubles were two life-pre servers. which were •iisjs'iiihsl from the ceiling of the stateroom, and tilh-d slightly with every motion of the ship. They were iu the shape of rings, to be fastened around the Ixsly, and, in the midst of her sick fan cies, she could not got tlm idea out of her head that they were immense doughnuts, painted white, which she must eat at once. Father and mother recovered first, then Alice, and last of all, Sue. Then how sweet the air, how beautiful the long, foamy sweep of the waves, the rosy clouds, the passing ships that now and then fluttered, like white moths ii|s)U the horizon. Kite used to get up very early in the morning and the bluff, kind-hearted officer would in vite lier up with him on his high bridge, wliere she could si>e the whole ship spread out like a map, and could look off over tiie gray water and gray sky, until the east grew all aflame, and slow ly, grandly, the full, bright sun arose. 'lsn't it. like the King of glory shall come iu ?'' she had once said timidly to the red bearded first-mate. 'Yes, Miss,' he had answered iu his short, hearty way, 'and he comes every day, :ui soon as ever the gates are up.' So the hours went by quietly, peacefully, and the faithful engine never ceased to throb, night or day. Sue watched whales ami sunsets to her heart's content. Alice s|Miut much of her time iu walking up aud down the deck with the captain, and learn ing to play shut He-board and ring-toss. Father aud mother read and t''ked, aud dozed iu the warm sunshine. One of Sue's favorite occupations was to go as far forward as possible, on the up|ier dock, and watch the steerage passengers, of whom there were two or throe hundred on hoard. She pitied them liecause they look ed so jioor aud miserable. Some of them second to he returning to their old homes, discouraged and hopeless. Some laughed and talked noisily, hut most of them curled up, wherever they could, on stanchions or heaps of rojie, and lay there, many of them wretchedly sick, through out the day. They generally at*', drank and washed in full sight. The worst tiling was that they were treated as if they were cattle. They were or dcrtd roughly hack and forth by the offi cers, aud at a certain point a rope was drawn across the deck, to prevent them from intruding UJKIU the cabin-passengers. They nearly all had a weary, hopeless,hunt ed look, which went to Sue's heart. Still, she could do nothing for tlieiu. The rules OfYfie ship ossible. Tiie jovial first mate was quite silent, and walked the deck with a quick, nervous step, now casting a glance at the huge mailt sail, which had been set during the night, now pausing a mo ment to regard the ragged crowd on the deck IM-IOW. Never during the voyage had there been so many of thein in sight at one time. The ship fairly swarmed with them. Already the cabin passengers were eagerly inquiring w hat was the matter, hut could laarn nothing. During the whole forenoon the taciturnity and mysterious air of the of ficers increased, until several men of influ ence from the cabin, among them Mr. Ray mond, waited upon the captain as a com mittee, to ascertain once for all the cause and nature of the disturbance that was ma king itself felt throughout the ship. They found him in liis little deck state room, talking in low, earnest tones with the ship's surgeon, and made known their er rand. 'lf you don't give some explanation, captain,' thev said, 'there will le a regular panic on lioanl. The ladies are afraid there is a tire in the hold, or that the ship has sprung a leak. Let us know at once what is the matter, and we will either keep si lence altogether, or make such a report as shall satisfy everybody that it is nothing serious.' 'Gentlemen,' replied the captain calmly, after a moment's silence, 'you are disturb ing yourselves unreasonably. I have hard ly thought it necessary to explain to pass engers all the proceedings on board my ship, hut 1 am willing to tell you the tritle that has caused this alarm. An infant died ill the steerage last night, of some childish disorder, and was—buried. 1 believe an other one is sick now. The doctor was just informing me that he thought it best, as a mere matter of precaution, to fumigate the quarters. That is all.' 'And where is the sick child ?' 'I left it in the steerage,' answered the doctor, 'until 1 could have the hospital made ready. I shall remove it myself,soon, before disinfecting the place.' The passengers withdrew, not more than half satisfied, and Mr. Raymond went to tell Ids wife what ho had heard. Ho found lier iu her state-room, busily talking with the stewardess, who had already told the news under a strict pledge of secrecy, 'or it will cost me my place, mem. And tlio poor little creature, she that's sick now—it's measles like, I think—is left there aloue in that hole ofa place and only three years old and half frightened to death, no doubt.' 'But lier mother is with her ?' asked Mrs. Raymond. 'lndeed she's not, mem. She's just in the charge of strangers, who are taking her ' over to the h'old folks iu Ireland, ye know. ' And not a soul will stay with the poor lit ' tie thing, they're so frightened with the ! sickness, ye know. The doctor, he tried to Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. 'ire tAVinr tlr*', lutttliey won't do it. lie ' nayh In*' 11 have to Im* iihtm* for the child himself, after the minikini;'* over.' •Henry" an hi Mrs. Raymond to her Ims | hand, 'don't you think yoil hail lielter | speak to Nile and AHee, ami ask tliem not Jto go forward ? You needn't tell them j what is the matter, you know. They've ; lieeti oil deck sinee tliis morning.' 'You are right, dear, and I'll *oe If any- I thing t*an he done for the child. If uioiicy can hire a nurse I'll find one.' NY it limit fnrt her words he left the utatc ruom and took lilh way to the deck. He mm it i found Alice, deep in one of Nlr. Whit ney's biMtks, behind tiie wiieel-iioitse. 'Allie, dear, 1 wouldn't go forward of the smoke-stack to-day. They're cleaning the steerage quarters, and (lie air is very un ple.is int.' 'Very well, jrip.,' without looking froiu her lnhik. 'Proiuiae me, dear.' 'Why of course 1 wou't, if you don't wish mo hi, sir !' saiil Alice surprised at her fath er's earnestness, and turning to see the rea son. But ire was gone, and she dropped back into her liook. Presently he returned witii a trotthleil face. 'Alice, have you seen Kite, lately ?' 'No, papa, not since 1 catue on deck. Why r 'I wish very much to speak to her. Please try to find her.' Alice turned down a leaf and rose reluc tantly. At that moment the quartermaster, who was in charge of the dick, touched ids hat and said : 'J soe'd you little girl on the lower deck, sir, about two hours ago, goin' forrard.' The troubled look ou Mr. Raymond's face deepened. He turuod away at once. Meet ing tire young doctor as he did so, he s|ioke a few words to him iu a low tone, upon which the two went immediately down the companion-way, and walked with quick steps toward the Ikiw of the ship. They of ten had to pause, and pick tbeir way a round the groups of steerage passengers who lay about the deck iu every conceiva ble position. Some of them stared at the well-dressed gentleman with the troubled face, and some of the liegau a question to the doctor ; hut the two kept ou without a word. Past the kitchen, with its steamy, vegetable odors, jcist the engine room, and its tiever-rcstirig,]iolished steel bars vibrat ing up and down, hack and forth. At each of these places the doctor :utkod a single questiop of the men iu charge and then went on. Not a nook nor corner, not a rag god, woeful-faced group of women and chil dren escaped the anxious, searching glance of the father's eye. The walk was repeated on the other side of the ship,but without result. As they passed one door a sickening, sul phury odor crept out, auil a few curls of smoke. They're preparing for the fumigation,' explained the doctor, keenly watching his companion's face. 'I thought we'd best do it, to satisfy the authorities.' Then they went straight to the head of the stairs that led to the dark, ill-veutilat ed steerage. There the doctor paused and . liecLml Sir. I.'n> iiihiml uilitiii* luuxl. *1 wouldn't go down there,' he said, light ly, with his rising Kuglish accent ; 'it's rather a disagreeable place, you know.' Suddenly his face changed. 'Hark !' he said. And Mr. Itayuioud listened. Faintly, sweetly came a girlish voice up out of the darkness. Someone wassingiug. Ah, if the roar of the wind and the dull breaking of waters against the bows would hut stop for one littie moment! llark— they could hear the words now: "Jesus, lover of my soul" The doctor glanced again at Mr. Raymond's face. It was blanched white as the foam on the wave-tops tlint could be seen over the bulwaiks as the ship rolled. 'Doctor,' he said, 'let me pass. That is my little girl singing.' •Oh, never mind,' said the doctor, still holding his arm across the companionway ; 'l'll go down and get her up.' 'Doctor, why won't you let me—you said—' The surgeon glanced over his shoulder and saw that they were alone. Then he looked the other full in the eye, and said slowly: 'Because it—is—small-pox.' Then for God's sake let me go by! Stand aside, I say, or I'll knock you down and pass over you!' For the tall, wiry young doctor had placed himself liefore him, and was directly blocking the way. -You will do no such thing, sir. You are not strong enough to master me, and if you try, I will have you put in irons. 1 will go down aud bring your daughter up. She shall occupy my stateroom for the rest of the voyage. If her mother chooses to share it with her, and keep away from you until we laud, she may do so. You cannot see her, and afterward go back among the passengers.' "While the billows near uic roll." Again the childish tones, with a little tired tremble in tliem, rose above the sound of the waters. Mr. Raymond covered his face with his hands a moment, then turned away. 'Her mother will come," he said. The doctor quickly descended the stairs. The steerage was divided by rough parti tions into small compartments, arouud the sides in the o|>cii space in the cntre,where were the dining-tables made of pine boards, once clean and fresh, but now stained to a dingy brown. In each compartment were six berths, three on a side, ouo over the otli e r. These berths were tilled with various untidy heaps of hod-clothing, as their occupants had liurridly left them in the nioruiiig, and the air of the whole place was foul and stilling. Iu the farthest cor ner, on the edge of oe of the wide berths, sat Sue, herpp e tty brown steamer-hood thrown back oh her shoulders, holding the sick child iu her lap, bendiug over it, and rocking it to and fro as she sung. 'I am glad you've come, doctor' she said simply. 'I was getting tired. Have you found anybody to take care of this little girl ? Because if you haven't, I am going to stay with her to-night.' 'Do you know what is the matter with her ?' 'Yes, sir ; one of the steerage passengers told me. There, there, baby*—and the little woman begau again to sing to the child, who was turning restlessly in her arms. I will not say what made the doctor's eyes shine so, just then. I never saw a doctor cry,although I suppose they do some times, like other people. At any rate he turned his head away sharply for a half ! minute ; then he told Sue he would see if the 'hospital' was all ready, and would be back presently. In three minutes, he thought. NO. 34.
