Lis bent form was wiry and agile ; and his gleaming eyes, that flashed from beneath his heavy brows, scemed 10 light up Lis dusky face with a strange glow, Rahak was the name by which they knew him ; and many a mother stilled her rest- less brood by the utterance of that name, Much of his time was spent in gazing out upon the sea from. his ofty perch, A eager, expectant look would fil] his exult- ani eyes as he swept the horizon with his . glass, Two years had Passed away, and you he kept his lonely vigil-upon the elif, Al the close of a gloomy day, he looked anxiously out upon the waters.

The little stranger clung trustingly to him, and drew shyly back when they would coax her from him. When the eaith had been heaped upon the cold form, he knelt upon the grave, and raising the child's hand in his he uttered, in a tongue unknown to "his hearers, a passionate invocation, while the large blue eyes of the child looked wonder- ingly into his face. This ended, he took her in his arms and strode mourntully away.

Rahak seemed to have infused some of the vague, mystical philosophy that per- vaded bis mid into t1.e character of Wail. She was a dreamy !maginalive creature, fond of wandering about the oliff alone ;, and would sit for hours absorbed in cont plation of the stars, or gazing wistfully out upon the sea, as though the remembrance of a different life beyond its waters came faintly back to her. But the current of her dreams was des- lined to receive a vital change. In -one of her eolitary rambles about the cliff she came suddenly upon a stranger. A young man half reclining upon a broad rock, was before her as she leaped lightly down from an overhanging bank, His slraw hat was thrown catlessly aside, and the breeze was 10ssipz his wavy hair; while the pencil and half finished eketoh told what his eriand was that day. : Waif would have silently retreated; but the noise of her footsteps had already at- tracted his attention. .

No other bird "has such power as the albatross of sailing in the air with motion less wings. "This power belongs only to birds of great wing power and considerable weight. For this Purpose it is necessary for the bird to gain a ceitain velocity by the flapping of ite wings, when, by properly inclining them, it is kept up like a kile against the force of gravity ; and the sailing lasts as long as the momentum is not ex- hausted. An albatross bas been kaown to sail in this way, with the body and wings pertectly motionless, for more than an hour (though this is an unneually long time,) when a lew strokes of the wings would be sufficient to recover the lost motion, Shortly alter the actession of when Scoltish gentlemen were beginning to feel at home in London, Lord Harewood gave a party, to which were invited a large number of couxtiers and officers, both civil James 1, the slope.
