One would think I had never before heard the sound of a human voice.’ “ ‘ You have heard me sing sometimes,’ I said. Indeed, quite unconsciously, I do sing a little in the morning now. “ ‘ Yes,’ Said he, ‘ just as I saw your face here for weeks and weeks before I found out the delight there was in studying its beauty.’ _ “ I expect I coloured up at this ; I know I felt the blood tingling all through my veins. , . “ ‘ My senses are waking up,’ he cried, rising up in excitement. ‘ I couldn’t smell, nor feel, nor see,nor hear a month ago â€"only taste like the meanest animal.

And this restraint on his part is a better sign than that just as so that I may safely believe his moral sense has awoke, the physical sense of hearing music did last month. Oh, it might have been terrible if we had both yielded to our feelings, for that love could only have been one of the sensesâ€"a love that could not have lasted. He could not lovea creature taint- ed with the basest and wickedest of crimes for ever. It would have passed away with the gratification of his senses, and changed to disgust when our common weakness be- came evident. I must be strong now. “ I had a terrible dream last ni ht ” (writing the next day). “ I thought saw my dear little boy lying in bed, and when I turned back his curly head his eyes were open and glazed, and he was dead. I do not think I am foolish enough to believe in dreams, and I know he is as tenderly guardâ€" ed by Helen as though I were With him. But I could not get the dream out of my mind, though I did my best not to think of it, and to devote myself to my husband’s happiness. All day the impression has been on my mind, though, and, longing to confess all to my husband, I tried to turn the conversation that way ' But he stOpped me at once. ’ after dinner. ‘ For God’s sake, he said, passionately, ‘ never say a word about the past.

My heart aches with this so- cret and the thought of my boy to-night. The following day :â€" “ What a weak thing I am. When my heart sinks a little, or rises a little, my self control goes at once.

Yes, I had fallen in love with my wife for the second time; but, as she has shown better than I could, my love was without SWeetness and tenderness, and wholly of the senses. I, myself, felt that, and my awak- ing conscience told me that such love was despicable. . One morning in December, when I was about to start off for Newton for a supply of household requisites, Howler came up to me, wagging the broken stump of his tail, and looking at me out of the corner of his bleared eye with uncertain friendliness. “ Take him with you,” said Hebe ; “ I’m sure he will follow if you pat him.” Ihad a superstitious feeling that this brute would love me when I was lovable and not before, and, to test myself and please Hebe, I bent down and patted Howler. He gave my hand a single lick in return, and turned away with n‘ sniff as though he could not yet quite approve the flavor of it. But hav- ing given his head a shake, he wagged his tail resolutely, as if resolved to do what was expected of him. He followed me a bun- dred yards, came to a stand, and turned back, his tail hanging down limp, and his ears working nervously. Hebe defied him to return ; I wliistled encouragingly. It was no good ; after a few plaintive whines, he slunk back to Hebe, crouched. rolled over on his back with his four legs in the air when he got within arm’s length of her, readier to receive the worst punishment she could inflict than to follow me. “ Never mind,” thought I as 1 went on ; “he has come further than ever he came before, and that is a good sign.” A good sign of whatâ€"that I could love my wife when my eyes were not charmed with her beauty? I looked round. She was standing where I had left her. I could only see at that distance a pale spot of light, where her face stood out in re- lief against the dark-blue woollen wrap that enveloped her head and shoulders. Yet my heart went out towards her, and throbbed gladly with the thought of return- ing to her in a few hours. “011! I am getting better, body and soul !” I said aloud in joy ; and with an inexpressible sentiment of longing and hope glowing within me, I trotted over the bleak moor. I was within a couple of miles of the New- I ton road, when I made out in the distance a cart jolting towards me. What was the meaning of it? The trackâ€"it could not be called a. roadâ€"led nowhere except to my hut, and was only traversed by me. There seemed to be two men in the cart. It was too near the high road to suppose that they had lost their way ; they must be coming to seek me ; with what pur- As we approached I perceived that pose ? lad; the other an old one was a country along of Mrs. Bates?” asked the lad, l But before the question was put I had recognized the old man, and he me. It was old Beeton. He, too, was greatly changed, and not much for the better, albeit his face was shaved, and his dress made some pre- tense to respectability. His silk hat was limp in the brim, brown on the crown, and , shiny with Wet brushing: his linen was‘ dirty and frayed ; the metal shone through the edges of the buttons that fastened his black frock coat, that looked all the dingier for the corner of a handkerchief displayed from the breast pocket. A pair of baggy green kid gloves and a rusty umbrella gave the finishing touch to the picture of decayed respectability. His nose was red ; his lips colorless ; his cheeks had the yellow hue of starvation that is seen ii: the faces of work- house inmates. When he lifted his hat I discovered a bald head, touched up by a red pimple or two on the front, and fringed with a spare scattering of white hairs. There seemed to be but one tooth in his head when he opened his mouth to speak. “Good morningâ€"enobâ€"Gregoryl‘ said, “ I think we have met before.” His eyebrows had not lost their our. cx-l n6! air what there was in the house, and Gregory had, in ordered the best. the latter Pu” _ J iiue, purchased a cottage on the most ”as “ Well,” said he, closing the door of the 013% part of the moor, under circmsm‘!” parlor and turning upon me; “you are that BhOWed a. pressing need to Mn” looking superb, my dear friend.

And ’m told you have a little house and property all to yourself on this charm- ing moor.” . “Do you want to know how I came by my money?” “My dear sir i” he cried, raising his hands and his eyebrows in expostulation. “Do you want some of it yourself ; is that what you were coming over for?” “I have never yet,” he said With excessive ’ dignity, “in the whole course of my pro- fessional career, taken moneyâ€"except as a loan, without first rendering adequate ser- vice.

Come, sit down, and let us talk over our affairs as we eat, like a couple of old friends.” “I am not going to eat.” “But I ordered lunch expressly for you.” “I will pay for it. Come to the point. ” “ Your tone is offensive, sir,” he said thrusting three bony fingers in the breast of his shabby frock coat, and drawing himself up. “ It is not the tone in which one gentle- man should speak to another.” “ Gentlemen?” said I, laughing bitterly. “ We are both ex-convicts.” “ And so are nine-tenths of. mankind. The only difference I recognize between my- self and the judge and jury, who convicted me of embezzlement, is that my offense was found out, and theirs remains to be discov- ered. Where is the man who can honestly say that he has not committed some fault i. for which he would have been punished if Justice were not blind ‘3 N inc-tenths, did I say? We are all ex-convicts, sir.” “ Hang your philosophy !” I cried impa- tiently ; “will you speak to the point or not ‘2” dropping in with the hope of nding you at leisure.” There was no mistaking the significance of these words, pointed by a particular subtle depression of one eyebrew. I did not want him to come to the cottage, and he must have perceived it, as I threw myself in a chair to wait his convenience. He made me a bow and seated himself at the table, when he at once attacked the beef. I never saw a man eat more ravenously. appetite of that kind, and in the presence of a. good lunch, it was worth a struggle to defer business for half an hour. It gave me time for reflection, and seeing there was nothing to be got by making an enemy of the man, I answered him as civ- illy as I could upon the various subjects he opened in the course of eating. I felt that my present antipathy to the old man was} unreasonable. He had certainly done his utmost to save me from the prison, and all he told me there had been confirmed by the vicar, who, for that reason, was as much to be disbelieved as the lawyer. Amongst other things, he told me that he had heard of my “ happy release” be- that way by one you love.

HELPLESS Iii MID OCEAN. For Ten Days the Crew of the “Say gunk ’ lecd on Three Geese and a hole g Rain “'aicr. A Halifax despatch says :â€"Advices from Liverpool give details of the thrilling exper- ience of the crew of the barque “ Saranak” from Sheet Harbor, N. 8., December 12, for the Mersey, with deals. On December 21 the bark encountered a terrific gale and was thrown on her beam ends so suddenly that everything movable was swept over- board and the man at the wheel drowned. \Vhen the ship righted again, the only thing left standing was thirty feet of the main mast and the lower part of the mizzen mast. As there were no sails, it was impossible to do anything except to let the vessel drift, in an easterly direction. \Vhen they came to realize their position, without food or water or oil to light lamps or coal to make a fire, the captain and his men were almost distracted, and their only hope lay in at- tracting the notice of some passing ship in the day-time. There was no food of any kind, but the captain had brought six geese they caught abucketful, which was meas- ured out at the rate of a wineglassful per day until December 28, when they caught two bucketsful and had then two glasses per day. By this time they were becoming famish- ed, and fears were entertained that an old sailor would succumb. However, they con- tinued to hope and they prayed fervently. “ At meal times, ” said the captain, “ we rayed and it looked as if the Almighty had made the little pieces of flesh (or en- trails, for nothing was wasted) fill us like a dinner; and so we kept living in hopes, but getting feebler and feebler every day.” They had almost given up any chance of being seen, for though they passed another vessel within two miles on a certain night, I they failed to see them, as they had neither lights nor rockets. At last, on December .31, they were seen by the “ Henrik Ibsen,” whose crew took them off. That vessel was on a voyage from New York to Liver- pool and she lost two men in the same storm. The “ Saranak ” was 833 tons register and was built at Philadelphia in 1844 for the famous “Quaker Line ” of clippers, between New York and Liverpool.
