Lights twinkled on tho shoro, in casements up high on tlio blulTs, on river-craft, and in bcaeons,sending longstreahs of illumination across the glassy water. The river was slcel gray, and tho Shadows of tho banks sank down in ghostly and fathomless darkness. Stars pamo out in tho dark-blue sky, shim menng llko rose-diamonds. Dogs bayed. Oh, it was the hour of lteart-case,wlicn that throb of pain called "life" was castasido and forgollen I In Iho. bed chamber of a neatly white washed cottage, that stood on tho outtkirls of tho village ofllomedale, sat a man be sido a bed, his rough, coarse, brown hands clasping tho thin, wliilo, waxen fingers of a woman, who, gasping for breath, lay upon her back, her eyes closed, while her lips, no she caught nt her breath, seemed lo Imtrmur a name. . . Tho man was not aged, ho might havo been hut fitly, but grief had cast its terrible shadow upon him, and Ins forohcad Was Lwrinkled, his eyes sunken and his form bent. Ho said no word, ho modq no sign, but, with his hollow eyes bent upon tlio floor.lio clasped tho worn hand, amid n silenco only broken by tho tickiug ot a noisy clock and tho gnspings of tho womnn. Sho was young, ay, and beautiful Her hair, dark as tho blackbird's wing, lay a cross thosnowy pillow in vast silken meshes. Her face, despite its emaciation, was a deli cate ovaldier brows wero exquisitely pencil ed, tier nose and mouth wcro 'absolutely faultless. i She did not open her eyes, but kept them closed, "Wator I" sho gasped, at length. Then Iho man, gently putting aside tho waxen hand, stepped over to a bureau, and pouring out some waier from a brown earliienware-piteher into a tumbler, ofTerod it to tlio girl. She opened her eyes. They wcro large, lustrous, heavy-lidded, and of that bluo which in some lights assumes tho color of tlio violet. "low soon nm I to dial" sho asked, after sho hatl,by a painful effort, swallowed a few drops of tho cooling beverago which her father had prepared for her, "Hush, Nellie i don't talk' that way." ''Father, I can talk no other way. Am I to dia trtnltrhtl" "Doctor Ulyther gives hopes," The girl impatiently turned her head from eido to side on tlio pillow.

Tlio doctor took tho wrist, 'and held his fingers on tho pulse for some titno. "There's no death in that pulso," lie said addressing tho old man, who murmured, ".Thanks bo to God i" . "Not a bit of it," continued tho physician; "and, what's more, if your daughter will bo guided by me, I'll engage to pnll her through." "I rcfuso to recover God I" sho added, almost iu a shriek, "what would I recover for." "ISevengol" half-whispered lle old man, and his eyes flashed, his nostrils quivered, his veins stood out liko cords upon his fore head, and his chest heaved as lie spoke. " 'Kevengo is mine, saith tho Lord,' " said the doctor, solemnly.

V SI SHOO Two Summers beforo tho opening of this story, thero lived in Homeiinloatrill swarthy handsome young fellow of the name of Al fred Howard. He was Iho son ol Jabez Howard, a sturdy fisherman, who gained a substantial and honorable livlihood by net ting Sturgeon and shud.and whosachuroetor for probity was second only tothatofGeorgo Washington's.

Iu Iho villago there also dwelt William Allen and his daughter Nellio. Allen had n small farm which ho tilled himself, aud rumor accredited him with being the pos sessor of money -not much, to bo sure; but ono thousand dollars in Ilomedalo was equivalent to ten thousand dollars in New York. Ho was a reserved and tacliturn man, who seldom mixed with his fellows, never spent more than five mlnutoj at Joo Littsom's sa loon where nil tho villaro cossips most did congregate, and, as hu read a great deal, ho was put down for a decayed member of the richer claw, who had como to grief and to Honiedale. Nellio Allen was disliked by tha many, lovod by tha very fow; sho was a moody, wayward, loving girl, stroug in her likings, strong in her dislikings. Iter's was a very Hisitivo nature, and a slight would cuuse'hcr young blood to leap Into name. She and Alfred met in tlio usual way by chance and iu their lirstlntcrviewhcr very heart went out to him. Alfruil. on bis aide, fell deenlv in lovo with tho beautiful young gill, aud the old, old story soon buret into blossom. Tbey wcro plighted in secret, as botli feared as yet to null vi llliam Allen n consent. Three months spoil by, and the lovers were all tho world to one another. Howard would go fishing in his smack, and, haying established a endo of signals, would corros iond witli Nellio by means ol flags. Tho calm day, when there was no wind to movo their ensigns, was always ono of gloom to tlio enthusiastic lovers. At length Alfred, taking heart of grace, demanded Ncllio of her father, and, uftcr aotno growling on tlio old man's part, the consent was reluctantly given. "You may court my child for six months longer, I have known lass and lad change their minds in half that lime, and you aro now on probation." Said William Allen.

He oskudiflho want of mon ey was the only reason lor his chango, and If all were united in desiring the services of tho pastor could they still keep him. Tbefo" was bul ono voico in reply. The pastor was useful nnd beloved i but the flock was so poor! "Well," replied tho miller, "I hnvo a plan by which I can raise his salary with out asking one of you for ono dollar, it you allow me to lake mv own way lo do it. I will assume tho responsibility for one yearr Havo I your consent?" Of course they could not icfuto this al though they expressed surprisc,knowing the miller to bo a poor man. Tho year drew to a close. The minister had been blessed in his labors, and no ono had bca called on for money. When thev came together tlio miller asked the pastor if his wants has been supplied and his salary met. Ho replied in (ho affirmative. When the brcthCrn wcrb asked if they were any poorer than at tha beginning of the year each (ih(J replied "No," nnd asked how they could be when they had paid nothing, ito asked again. "Is any mart here any poorer for keeping Hid minister?" nnd the reply wns tho simo as before.
