Four rcaiueti, including tho captain, nbo bavf iasbcil themselves to tho mlxRii-niasi cannot frpe themselves quickly eiinnsb, and the fierce water .strangles them to death. 'the fifih, a young aud powerful Ameri can, f wcpl from the deck by an avalanche of brine, eeuis to descend for an ago Into tho black, roaring depths, the weight of a luotuitnlii cinshlng bliu down. Uo lights desperately for life. lie must lmv miolh cr breath of air. Savngely liu sttlkea dowii tla- water with his hands, and Heads with bis feol. Ho beirlns to ascend. Wbnt a booming Is lu bis ears. Will he never reach tho surface? How heavy his l?gn and arms am becom ing. The veins luhls head throb as thouab Ihoy would bieak'thelr bouuds. Looking upward, be can sec through a thick roof of groen ocean the lightning's lUsb. Tho Ihundor rolls as his head emerges Ironi the walcr. Ho Is on the top of a great wave. The iwelllng seas are Mlver tipped. They rise in big mounds, phOsphorosenn.ee fnmtlyrevealhig d.irkvales between. Alexander Noble sect -in one direetiou long Hues of foam. There may be safotj there. He faces that way renewed vigor. Ho , am! strikes imt with sinks Into onn of the dark valleys. All around blui giant waves rear their hoary heads. They throw at him from all sides their gleaming, tcu-cold dart. He ailses agalu to another summit. Ills hand closes on something that touches it. it is cloth. Ho pulls It toward hlni with eagerness. Ills other hand, scat chlng for ward, clutches similar material. Ho pulls" again; there Is rcslstcnce. A grasp further ahead; a human body a small feuinlo form he clasps it in bis arms ami it buoys mm up. At the saiuu mo ment something heavy strikes his shoulder. Uo throws out his left arm, ami It encircles a spar. What Joy! Tho waves partly cease their foaming; tho wind lowers Its bowling: but lh dark ness becomes Intense. Ho speaks to hi companion In misfortune There Is no re sponse. He calls to her, and touches her cheek with his hand. Still no miswer; Is she dead? If so, how docs aba hold on? A rope meets bW band she Is lashei to the spar,. . - How warurlhojilr is getting. ?riio' waves are going down, as though pressed by stu pendous weight. Ho feels lis though ho were going to faint. With quick movements ho unties a long silken sash from his waist, brings It up under his shoulders, and makes It fast to the spar; then he clasps his companion In one arm nnd the log In tho other. His head falls forward, and lie becomes un conscious. When lu awakes, a greal change has taken pkice. The sea Is like n plate of glass; there Is scarcely a breath of air; (ho wind does not oven sigh, The darkness seems to he a black mist, palpable; a faint gurgling ulurmer comes from above the spar, and that Is the only sound. His cheeks" are burning; he jt'isps for breath, with but Httlo relief, Ho hud dt rs, nud the water, stirrod to life, kisses the sixir and sings a weird and mournful requiem. He cries to his companion again. His video Is hoarse, harsh, discordant, and as tonishes him. She does not answer. He touches her soft cheek again with trembling hand. It is hot as fire. Agroan escapes his dry, parched Hps, Uo lifts some water In tlio hollow of his hand and lets It fall on her head. Her form iK-mbk-s, aud the water kisses the spar u tlorcn times, clackldg noMly. Then a volco founds In his par, low, sad nud musical. "Oh,papa, I bayo had an awful dream." .Alexander Noble does not speak at once. A distant boom aid echoing rear meets bis hearing. He turns his head, and sees again tliu long white lines of foam. Then he re turns: "i;am not .sour father, poor girl; but do not fear.. Yonder, where you seo those white, cleaiulrg threads, there arc rocks. Doubtless there is dry land behind them. Your father may be there. I shall drive our buoy that way." vtueu no lias uttered these words a piercing scream rends the air. At the same moment sky and sea are lit by a blinding Dash. It is followed Immediately by se veral more. Loudent thunder stuns the hearing. Dy the fitful light a wall of darkness Is made about them. The ocean, paved as il were with sparkling diamonds, Is tho floor J of an immense cayru. A solid mass of whitest cloud Is the high-arched icof, a perfect dome. One object alone breaks the radiant va cancy a small conn-shaped mountain, us ing from behind the streaks of foam. From Its apex It exbajes a llery mist that rob-n iii clutliof gold ene mnunlarus nf smoke ubove. i More rumbling, then a roar as of a I world' h coutiagration. j 1 be mist above the volcano becomes brighter; and then the waif ag.ilu became unmnscinus.

"My bildn of the storm." There ate peisons who criticise In a cold and unfeeling manner thoso who aid trying to do the very things which they themselves refused to attempt. They rem to Imagine that, because they will nut touch a burden that is to bo lioiiir, they nre absolved from all obligation coucerultig It, and that lliosn who do trv manfully to carry It are expected neither to faint or falter. They will look on coolly wbllo some bravo reformer or geiictous philan thropist Is Miuggllngto help his fellowmcu, and criticise his methods or his tn,iunr, and dcclar1 bow illffcrenllv tlje.y would conduct i ho affair If they attempted It. They do not seo that, with all the bluuders and failures he ran make, he Is far nobler than they, who, assuming to know bolter, yet refuse, through Indolence or pride, to put. forth a single effort In the matter. His fccbloit atti'mptsougbl rather to fill them with shame and humiliation that they have fallen po for behind him. As industry Is habitual activity in some useful pursuit, so not only Inactivity, but also all efforts without tho design of use fulness aro of the nature of Idleness. The supluc slugcard Is no more Indolent thau thn bustling do-nothing. Men may walk much ami lead much and talk mncb, and pass the day w ithout an uuoocuplcd mo ment, aud jot ho substantially ldlc,becausc Industry requires at least thu intention of usefulness.

Next only to the man who achieves tho greatest and most blessed deods Is be who, perhaps himself wholly incapable of such high work, is vet tho first to help ind oucourage tho cetilus of others. Wo often tlo moro good by our sympathy than by our labors, and rendur to tho woild a more lasting service by absenco of jealousy and recognition of mot It than we could cyor render by thn-attaining efforts of personal ambition. Every chele of people meeting together for any object will prosper largely lu pro portion to the individuality which each member of It gains' In his solitary hours, He must be a man among men; and true manhood can never be fully dovclopcd wlthout.tho influences of society and soli tudo instrcutlng and mutually tenefitltig each other. Moderate work, alternating with mod erate rest, gives a brain which, taking tho whole life through, will accomplish the most and best work of which a human be ing is capable. Thn brains are to he Im proved by reasonable exercise and reason able, rest. Tho one Is as essential ns the other. Kindness conies with a double grace and tenderness from the old; it seems to them the hoarded and loug-nurifie.l bene, yolence of years, as If It had survived and uouqueicd tho selfishness nf youth.
