Great white-topped, fleecy crowned waves, so white, so fleecy in contrast with the deep hues of the water Itself; and the sun was gilding, crimsoning and purpling the western fcky. Away I up in the heavens were soft, floating clouds of all bright colors, and their reflections lay ou the ocean, tinting it with their many hues. The carriages were whirling up and down Ocean Avenue with gaily dressed women, gentlemen caracoled on horse hack at their sides; laughter, jest, mer riment everywhere. Then, as the twi- Jight deepened, soft, sweet music float ed out from the brightly lighted rooms, and the piazzas were crowded with pronieuaders, loungers and all the pleasure loving crowd of a gay water ing plaie. Two j-oung girls, with arms inter twined, elow ly paced a garden walk. it not delicious, Mary?" said one. This briny breath of old ocean, the muMic, me summer nigmr jiien; There is that old waltz of Walter'. It Juet accord with my mood." Delicious, Indeed, Helen ; and if so to you, what do you think it is to me? Pent up as I am through weary days, it is heavenly. I can never express to you how I enjoy it all. It is my first week at the seashore. The music, moonlight, freedom, intoxicates me. I feel as if I could float off upon those flowing waves, rather than go back to my weary work. Hut that is only now. By and by I shall return to my practi cal self, and be thankful for work w hich gives comfort to tho-e I love. I think eometimes do you know, that I have two selves." "Both very nice selves, Mollie ; one's a patient, kind synipatizer iu your friend's romantic follies ; that must be your romantic self ; and the practical self gives me excellent advice and sets me an example of patient industry and perseverance whith ofUn makes me ashamed of my own idly spent life." "But you had a special toph? of con versation for' to-uight, you tutid. Do you need the Judgment of my practical self upon your two lat lovers, for I net: it is almost time that you make a de cision." "You have guessed rightly, Mollie, I do not say I shall take your judg ment, however, but I want to talk with you." "Let me avow, Helen, at the outset, I am only interested in one." "I supposed so, and that is why I say I am not prepared to accept your judgment Albert oms is very hand some, wealthy. successful merchant An only son " "Yes ; and Edward Barnes is plain, in very moderate circumstances; a struggling vounir lawyer who has loved you from boyhood. I have regretted to see how much you were influenced by the exterior advantages of one, Helen, and how little regard you giv, apparently, to the quick, good sense, the persevering spirit, the solid, sub stantial qualities of the other. I say apparently, for I can not but think down in the depths of your heart you do appreciate them. To my mind, un influenced by the incense of their ad miration, which is only swung towards you- there is only one choice." "But you know how much I admire beauty, and, silly as it may sound to you, I very much admire Albert's ap ncarance. I am somewhat of a cat, as somebody says most women are. like to nestle on soft cushions in the sunshine. I do enjoy the luxurious things of thia life. I am afraid I should not want to fhare poverty wltn ha ward, wear calico dressea, perhaps cook his meals. Thiuk of it Mary." ' "You are a little goose, and I do not ' auppose it would do you a great deal of harm to cook the meals it there was some one to clean the pou and pans. 1 1 am vulgar enough to enjoy the prep- . tjon cf a dainty dish if some one I care for will help to eat it ; and why 'maynotaIldihea be daintily prepar- set ESTABLISHED 1827. ed ? Cooking, you know, is becoming one of the finest arts, if it was not al ways so considered. But let us return to our subject. Confess, Helen, if the two were similarly situated as fortune. what would j'our decision lie?" Now, that is what I want to talk ahouL I have an underneath, quiet sort of feeling that if a great calamity came to oue, Edward Barnes could aid, console, lie, perhaps, a Mrong rock of refuge; but Albert comes and alsorlis all my time and attention. We ride, aud dance, and talk nonsense together, and all the girls are envying me, and I find myself drifting off upon a sort of sea witli him, which I am not yet sure I wish to voyage upon or to take him as helmsman." "Helen, I do believe that is the way half the girls marry. Don't you, I beg of you. Life is such a terrible thing when one has chosen wrongly. Think of finding too late that you have made an awful mistake, aud when calamity comes as come it must in every life you have no sure rock of refuge, ouly a broken staff to lean upon, and you are indeed alone. Poverty I mean indus trious poverty, (what you call poverty) which generally earns enough for all the absolute necessities aud many of the luxuries of life, is not the worst trial of life. But don't take either of your lovers if you can not resolve to share any reasonable lot with them, for you do uot love unless you feel that you can." "Mollie, were you ever In love?" "Iu love? No ; but I thought I was. I will tell you the story to-night Take your wrap, let us go to the lieach. I want to feel the fresh breeze blow about me while I talk of that old time." They wended their way to the beach. The moon was just rising, silvering the waves. How far away seemed the uoiny, turbulent, work-a-day world. "Before my father's death," said Mary, "which condemned me to daily toil for myself and my poor mother, you know we were very well-to-do country jieople. My father spent lav ishly Uxiu my education and for our daily comforts, and never dreamed that a sudden death would take him from us in the full vigor of manly strength before he had provided for our com forts. Henry (2 ray was a neighbor' son, aud your Albert reminds me somew hat of him. 1'leasant to every one ; soft, gentle manners aud with an attractive jerson, it was no wonder that a young, foolish girl like myself very soon idolized him into a hero. "He went to college, leaving a be trothal ring upon my finger and three - t . a (, .1 !.t or lour sneets oi oaner uneu wiiu in- testations of u inlying affection came once a week tome. After a while the letters were not quite so long and grad ually cooled in ardor. Helen, I am ashamed of my old self. I suffered tortures then and thought my heart was broken, my life blighted, as I saw- he was drifting away from me. And then came our crtat affliction. Anil when I saw him again I was a wiser, older cirl. Life had become very real, very hard. And I can almost laugh as I tell vou now. I could not realize that had ever loved him, except for the memory of the doleful hours I speut in weeping over my broken idol. His was not a constant nature. He was not the sort of character I could have loved in after years. And what seem ed a bitter draught then was a cup bit ter indeed to the taate, but most bene ficial in results and healing. 'One U very w ue after all that, you know, and I am not likely to give my heart lightly again." "Not lightly, but very w isely, I am sure. litit Here come tne sunjecis oi our conversation, so no more discussion of them at present." And Helen turned gayly to greet the comers. Albert Norris was very handsome, as she had said. His figure was tall and graceful ; his head finely formed ; his features regular, with the usual fresh coloring of youth. A close phys iognomist would have detected a lack strength in the face. The mouth was not firm enough ; the bright hazel eyes glanced too frequently aside. But to most young girls he was faultlessly handsome, w ith charming manuers. Not so his companion, whose figure was built more ior sirengin man tor ... f . .1 .1 A. beauty. His face was roi, open, in: telligent, genial. Clear, gray eyes looked tlearly and jenctrating!y into. yours. Ills movements were quic, active, lithe, lacking entirely the gen tle iudoleuce which was habitual to tlin other. This is just the night for one of your songs, 31 r. uarnea," aui jiary. And a they seated thciiiacl ves he sang in a rich, full baritone, to the accent paniment of the waves rushing rhyth mically upon the shore, the song of the Three Fishers. For a few moments after, none of them poke. The night was heavenly; the muic suited the scene; the voice was sympathetic, and awakened many thoughts in the listeners. "It does not seem possible here, in this quiet, calm spot, that there can be a turbulent, noisy world, full of many unhappy people, of 'women who ween.' and men who risk life lor life s bare ueeessit ies.' "No, indeed," was Edward's reply j "but to-morrow' sun will shine on thia same sjwt, upon all sorts of inconsist ent human creatures, who make up this very world; women who think of life only as a show; men who strive to outdo each other in a mad chase after life's glare and glitter. More of these compose this crowd than the genuine lovers of nature, who find conpanion ship in the sea and the woods, and to whom the very stones preach ser mons.' "Which do you prefer, Mary the sea or the mountains ?" asked Helen. "I can not tell here and now. I love the woods of my home dearly, and the mountains there are njy old friends from childhood. nut u l were resueas or unhappy, I think I should find more sympathy In the restlesness or the sea. I do not know, peruana, aiier all, its tossing and moaniug might so intensify that of my restless spirit that I might find myself fleeing from It for fear I should cast myself into it." "Mary, Mary! Miat are you any Ing?" said Helen. "You who are the personification of cheerful submis sion." "Only talking, Helen, as people will sometimes. But is it not time to re turn?" An ', half reluctantly, they turned from the moonlit sea toward their cot tage h line. As they nearvd it, Albert lingered to sneak the words Helen had evaded a long time. "You must have known," he said, "how much you are to ne. Can I not hojie that I have not loved you in vain?" "Oh ! do not ask me now. 2ive me more time to . know my own mind," she said. "To-morrow then, to-morrow I shall come to know if I may not claim you as my wife." What waa there iu tiie tone that jar red upon her? Was it an assurance of what he desired ? An iintiossibility of refusal ? The morrow came another day of clear, bright sunshine, and gay parties were crowding the lea h, for it was bathing time, iiuch a motley crowd ! "Is it jKMsible this is you?" was heard more tkau once, as those unac customed to their bathing costumes encountered friends. "How few look well who laithe, Helen," said Mollie. "Nine are so cold and blue, aud all their 1 vely roundness of figure has become liuip. Now, there is a lady I like to watch. She swims finely and has such a lovely color after; she seems to me a veritable nymph of the waves." "And the bright little boy you were admiring so yesterday is her child. 8ee, he is swimming near her." "Here comes our party are you ready ?" But just as they were alout entering the waves, a shrill cry of terror rang through the air. The Uy had appar- eutly been carried U-yond his iwer of I control, and the mother vainly strove to reach him. "Can no one save him?" inquirtd Helen. Her face was pallid her U-autiful eyes dilated with pity and fear. "No one without endangering his ow n life," was the quiet, measured an swer of her lover. But there was a prompt reply mar her. "Do not forget me, Nellie, if I am lost," and w ith quick, strong strokes Edward Barnes was beating the w aves, atid far away from the crow d of bath ers strove to rescue the child. Farther and farther he is borne by the merci less current Will he never reach him? And lips nnused to prayer murmured appeals to Heaven's mercy, and ail hearts beat with apprehension for the two lives so far away from shore. "He has thrown away his own life uselessly," said Allert, "the madman.' But Helen gave him no reply. Was this the man w ho claimed her heart? For whom she wavered in in decision: who had tilled her thoughts of late to the exclusion of old childish friendship and love? Now full well she knew who was the strong man iu times of calamity he who could peril his life for another. Aud all the quit t, unvarying love, the truth and tender ness of heart, the unselfishness of char acter, w hich she had never rally ap- preciated before, burst ujkiu her like a revelation. Hhe was the unworthy one. Mie had never qescrveu tais ioe ,.. a 1 111-1 if she oould have been o attracted by another, who could not even pay due homage to the heroism his eyes beheld. How she endured the moments which seeiued ages she never knew But at last a glad hurrah ! rent the air, and she scarcely saw she felt he must have saved the boy. But exhausted, faint with the long distance he hud swam, the heavy waves with which he had struggled and the burden he bore, he fell senseless upon the shore, and needed all the kind ministrations the care so ready to greet him. Helpful hands were there in abundance, how ever, and skillful aid, and when even ing came he was amply repaid, as re- clinini? in the cottage parlor, Helen s r? " ' - smiles, tears, blushes were all for him. No more doubt or indecision for l r, but the quiet content of perfect tru-t; of entire reliance on the strong, true heart of one whom she might find a staff of support in time of need. "But, Helen,'' said Mary, luisehiev ouiyf w hat about those dreadful din- ners and possible calico dresses , "Don t speab; of thenu I nave grown . at.:.. five year older and wiser since this morning, and I think I would live with Edw ard in a log cabin EeSectiocs of a Bacaebr- No man is much of a hero to i widow.

Kx-Prcsidetit Harrison acted as the eastern proxy of the licpuMican candidate last night, and struck the key-note of the eastern campaign iu a sjieech to o,KK people. Half as many people as composed the audience were denial admittance be cause of lack of room. The enthusiasm was tremendous and the many ints of the sja-cch were re ceived with hearty applause. The audience was a distinguished one, and from the early hour w hen they cheered the band's interpretation of "America" displayed their patriotism iu every is sible way. Indeed the vast audiuuee arose and sau the national anthem with ardor. The decorations of the Auditorium were entirely of the American colors. F;ags were in juany hands. Picture of the lU-puhlican national candidates adorned the sides of the proscenium arches, which were festooned with silk bunting. The lower tier of boxes w as gay with beautifully dressed women and men in evening attire. Mrs. Har rison occupied one of the boxes with the family of Mr. Chauncey M. Depe.
