Vain world of conquests, hopes and weary tears. Where proud ambition onward lures the soul To Ideal heights across tho span of years, What happiness at lost when gained the goolf Only a yearning for tho greatest star, One still boyond In radianco afar. Silence and solitude hare left a peace Upon tho vast expanse of sky and sea; ' From turbulenco and strlfo a sweet release, , Visions of untold love and sympathy, For In the wondrous calm of nature's rest There Is a solaco oft divinely blest. This Is my world aye, where the rolling foam Surges In splendor la the even tide And desolate may seem my rocky home, Where winds and rains In revelry abide, But dearer far than fame or earthly mtght Is peace, the angels' harbinger of light. Mabel Ilayden In Now York Graphic OUIl LOVE STORY. "Wo had boon so happy!" I kept Bay ing that to myself "Wo had been so happy!" And now It was all over everything was over for rno. llo would take what ho had chosen instead; but I burst into tears as I sat on tho rock by tho spring whero wo had met bo often whero I was waiting for him now but I never faltered in saying to myself: "Wo must part. Ho is neither truo to mo nor to heaven wo must part." And what was he? Only tho village doctor Benjamin Ruo. And what was I? Only a littlo school teacher. Our united incomes wero far less than anything that tho wiseacres of. society papers de clare it "posslblo to marry on." But wo had no fear. Ho was winning his way, and wo loved each other; and as I began by saying, wo had been very happy. But thero had cotno to Johnstown, whoro wo lived, n lady of wealth, who gathered about her a certain littlo clique of scornful, stylish people. They were openly infidel in opinion; nil that I had been brought up to bcliovo right and good they mocked at. All this would havo been nothing to mo in my school houso or my own littlo room. I might never havo dono moro than notico the handsome dresses of tho ladies when they walked out or rodo with their at tendant cavaliers, and never havo asked what their opinions wero, hut thgt soon after their arrival Mrs. Norland was taken jll and sent for Dr. Ruo. Ben was handsome, well read, full of bright fancies, and ready to- enjoy himself at any timo. Ho relieved the lady of tho pain sho suffered, and becamo tho fam ily doctor nt once. It was a step toward success. Naturally, ho did not turn a cold shouldor to his patrons when they offcrod him social invitations. From tho first ho was fascinated by tho freedom from restraint in thought and action that prevailed in tho house. No doubt I was strait laced, but what ho thought dolightful I thought wrong. It soomed to mo, from what ho said, that Mrs. Norland was a very immoral wom an. Certainly sho had no religion what ever. When I saw Den gradually for saking all I so clung to, when ho refused to go to church with mo, and began to beg mo not to go; when ho said, openly, that when wo wero married I must give all that up; when, at last, he began to deny tho oxistenco of a Deity, and say, as thoy did at tho Norlands', that man had no soul, that all ended hero, and that to bo happy whilo wo lived should bo our only object, my heart sunk with in mo. I loved him so dearly that I was qulto willing to marry him if ho would let mo go on in my own way. I believed that my influence-and perhaps my pray ers might win hini back to heaven. A young man with good principles would surely do what was right at last. Hut when no began to talk of forbidding mo to listen to tho good words I heard in church, or oven to kueol in prayer at homo, I felt that I should do wrong to promlso to obey lum, and that there could bo no hope for a homo divided against itself. I shall not tell you what particular sect I belonged to that -does not mat tor. All Christians worship God and try to follow Jesus; and still hoping that ho might, out of lovo for mo, give-mo my own way, I could hardly havo broken with him such is tho weakness of woman's heart but that tales reached mo that mado mo feel that ho was not truo to me. It was hard for a girl to speak of such a thing as tho beguiling of her lover's heart by a wicked married woman; but I had no one to speak for me, and with my first words wo quarreled. Ho called mo an old fashioned littlo Pharisee, and said that my husband would bo a slave if I had my way a slavo to supersti tions of all sorts; that ho was a man, and knew what was right and best; that I need not think that ho should never look at a pretty faco or tako a glass of wine with a friend. At tho moment ho was flushed with what ho had been drinking at tho Nor lands'. Ho 6aid more than ho meant, no doubt, but it spurred mo on to do what I had resolved to do, and at last I said: "Benjamin Hue, just hero whero wo now sit I promised to marry you; hero I tako back that promise. Wo should only make each other wretched for life," Alliho answered was: "No doubt you aro right." And then I took my ring from my fin ger and gavo it to him. He turned away, and I heard his feet amongst tho rustling autumn leaves long after I could seoliim. And it was all over all ovcrl And then indeed I wept and wished that I could dio just thero where I had been so happy. Timo passed, and I grew used to it. As for Bon, hegotonwell. Fashionable peo plo "called him in." In fact, ho was tho fashionable doctor of tho placo, and had an ofllco in tho handsomest iwrtion of tho town. For my part, I kept my school, and boarded with tho motherly old widow who had been kind to mo when I first camo to tho placo a stranger. My happiest day was tho Sabbath, which I spent in church, teaching my littlo ones and attending ajl the services; and then I tried to think only of heaven and its joys, and to do what good I could. But I cannot say I was ever moro than quiotly cheerful tho brightness had gono out- f my life. It is natural for youux pconlo to look forward to something aud to enjoy their lives, and I think that God meant that every girl should havo a lover and overv woman a husbaud and children of her own, and that we should all bo grateful for the good things ho has given us, and tako our own share. I might havo had lovers I might havo married but, with all his faults, I could not caro for any ono as I did for Benja min uuo; ana a wretciica thing indeed would married Hfo bo without truo ten derness. I was on my way to bo a spin ster. As for Ben, ono day thoro was a great scandal in tho town. Ho had had a quarrel with Mr. Norland about his wife. Moro than a quarrel blows had been struck, shots fired. Tho woman's character was now entirely gono; their homo was broken up. Mr. Norland sought a divorce and gained It. Respectable people dropped a doctor who had suck evil notoriety, and ono day I heard that ho had left Jolms- town. "Better for him." I thought, "thoqulet Hfo ho would havo led with me bettor oven from n worldly point of view." And still I behoved what ho had sought to prove that ho had only been free and foolish, not orlmlnal. And ngain timo passed on without any now events of importanco coming into my lifo, and I oxpectod to ltvo and dio In Johnstown a school teaching spinster Johnstown, of which tho rest of tho world know nothing to speak of. You nil know how sadly it hocamo famous ono wild day. I Bhall novcr for get that day for many reasons. I had just given my scholars their summer holiday nnd had mytimo to my self, and I had been nil through tho rain to sco n poor, sick woman who was quite destitute Tho good widow with whom I lived was Away; sho had gono to another stato to visit a married daughter, nnd tho Iiouso was lonely. I had heard that Dr. Ruo was in the place that ho had come down to bco about somo lots of ground, almost worthless when ho bought them, but lately becomo valuable and at ovcry step I half feared, half hoped to meet htm. Tho idleness of my holiday left me time to think of myself, nnd I was very sorrowful. As I passed tho church door it stood open, and an impulsa led mo to cuter. An old woman was dusting tho cush ions, polishing tho pow doors, nnd Bet ting books in order in tho racks, and I went forward to tho front of tho church aud sat down beforo n painted window I loved to look at. Jesus tho Shepherd, with tho lamb In Ills arms, smiled on (nc as though between earth and heaven. I began to feel a strango poaco steal over mo a promise of happiness. My heart went forth to my old lovo, nnd for all tho pain ho had given mo I forgave him. I hoped, that ho was leading n better lifo and thinking tetter thoughts. I remember saying to myself that so I should liko to feel on tho day of death loving all men and having no fear what ever of tho mysteries boyond this life. whatever they might provo to bo. I think that I had fallen osleep listen ing to tho wind and tho beat of tho rain upon tho roof, when suddenly I wot aroused by screams and cries. People came ruslilng into tho church, crying out in terror. Tho water was already mak ing n pond of tho placo, nnd thoso who sought safety had climbed to tho pulpit 01 rushed up to tho gallery. As I stood dazed and trembling an nrm seized mo about tho waist. "Tho dam it down!" shouted n voice in my ear. I wat hurried away up boyond tho gallery into tho bell tower. Tho crowd followed iu and now wo saw tho water coming down toward lis liko a great black wall. Such a eight was never Been! I turned to look into tho faco of the man who had helped mo to the loft. 1 had no doubt as to who ho was even be foro I looked, but when I saw Benjamin Ruo I felt happy and had no fear. Death was beforo mo; but ho had sought me, hoping to savo me, and in his arms 1 should die. ".God havo mercy on our souls!" Bald I. Ho answered: "Amen!" Ho helped uio to a Kttlo wooden hood abovo tho belfry, and thero wo clung together. It was tho highest point wc could reach. Tho waters wero at hand. "Forgive me," ho said in my ear. "Forglvo mo, Agnes; I havo repented, heaven knows aud I never was at wicked as thoy mado mo qut. I flirted with Mrs, Norland. I admired her, but I did not wrong her husband; ho lied when ho sworo that ho believed it. He wanted to marry another woman. 1 havo loved you nil nlong; I camo back to tell you so nnd win you again if I could. I am a better mau." All I could do was, to answer him with n liiss, for nt that moment tho black wa ter struck tho church. Then I was floating, floating beaten this way nnd then that; but his arms were always about me. Somo broken plank gave us support. , I never moved, but I prayed without ceasing; I prayed to bo saved with him or to dio with him, as was God's will. Ah! others prayed prayed earnestly as I better people and yet wero drown ed. Let no vainglorious fancy that my prayer was better than theirs seem tc dwell in my heart, for indeed it is not there; but I am humbly thankful that God saw fit to let mo livo a littlo longer, and that at last, cast upon dry laud, wc know that days wero given us in which to livo together. It was sad and terriblo indeed to stand hand in hand and look upon what seem ed almost tho destruction of tho world. We shall never forget it or bo as glad as if we had not seen it, but wo wero the world to each other after nil. I am Ben's wife today, nnd I believe him to bo n good man. As for mo, may I know my own faults too well to bo bc veno on any of his I may discover. Mary Kyle Dallas in Firesldo Companion. DOINGS OF ROYALTY.

THE LADY LOBSTER AND THE feHARK The Lady lobster loved the Shark That swam In the dark blue sea, But oho had to keen It nn dreadfully dark That her lover was a hankering, cankering cark,' for iue gnarK aian't care ror sue The Lady Lobster languid lay In the rockwecd'a deepest gloom. And she wept, for she felt herself pining away In her fresh young chlckenlsb glad heyday. And the flush of her early bloom. der shell was bright and beautiful blue, Aud her eyes were a beautiful pink. And her claws were an exquisite lavender hue. And of antenna she'd thirty-two No commonplace charms, I think. The Eels and the Dogfish sued In vain. And the Jellyfish worshiped afar. And the Sturgeon woed her again and again. And the Cass and the Tomcod Bwelled her train. And she was the dream of a Gar Dut the I j&dy Lobster In her lagoon Sho sighed for her darling Shark Dy light of sun, and light of moon. And from morn till eve, and from night till noon. And from daylight until dark. Ono day a vouturesomo skipper camo , A-salling along the sea, And ho thirsted for great piscatorial fame, 80 he baited a hook for very big game, And he heaved It merrlloe. The Shark was taking a lazy swim That thriood accursed day ' When the Lady Lobster remarked to him. As she wagged her lavender claw so slim In horown ladylobsterllke way: "A constitutional, I suppose Do you keep your old relish for food! I trust you aro freo from dyspeptlo woes It a thing gets down do you And that It gcosf Is your appetlto always good J" The Shark he Hopped his dorsal fin And he snUled cxpansivelee, "So long as my mouth can take It In, From a chair to a bather's reluctant shin, It's suro to be good." said he. Just then the skipper's alluring line Came dangling down by his chin. And tho Shark proceeded to turn Buplne (Although t'wos a little, too early to dine) In order to gather It Iv.

In the flash ot a fin she had made up her mind IIow to meet the emergencee, And her pink eyes closed (for love Is blind). And all her antennas she swiftly entwined Lest they should tickle ha One glance of lovo she ventured to cast, And she blushed a deeper blue; And then as swift as the winter's blast Sho sprang down that mouth so vast And upward the bubbles flew. Those Jaws closed up with a cruel crunch. And Uio hook swopt harmless by; And tho Shark gave a gentle munch And he felt himself comforted by bis lunch For Love hod dared to die I She had won the right to be with him At morn and noon and night; And since she hod made so free with him. She did her best to agree with him. And to keep his digestion right. The Lady Lobster quiet lies, iue ooarK no swims tne bay.
