"eunhight, the soft sea-hreeto and the rippling mu- sic of the waves. . Perhaps the new joy that had erowned ber life had something to do with her enjoyment of everything, Roses and Ray Brdddon were still there, rival candidates for her favor, us of old. Her engagement bad not been proclaimed, ticretore she had no excuse for dismissing Ray en- tirely from her side, as she fain would have doue. Nor did Russ wish it; now that he wae sure of her exclusive sffection for himself. There: fore matters went on very much as they had done before, only Rosa was a trifle more devoted in his manner, now and then assuming a eontrol over her that was strungely new aud sweet. Ross had not coe to appear quite like his former self, us yet. He wes often moody and dujected, as if some great trouble were weighing upon hin.

Ray Braddon suon crossed over to bis side. ! My Lady Raynham is on her high horse this moruing, it seems, he said, with a sneering laugh. Rosy deigned no reply, shrinking from his quandam friend with a sod- den suspicion. It almost seemed as if the whole world were at war with him. Especially did be think that Ray had wied to work him ill, or bow could Honoria have discovered what she did ? Ray must have mis- trusted, and so have warned her, He seemed 'strangely restless and uncasy as the morning wore on, as if revolving some question of vital importance in his mind. Honoris studiously avoided him, and finally, to dispel the tedium of the day, he took his fishing tackle and stro'led down towards: the beach. Whither way ? asked Father Lee, meeting him on the road. . Ihave been planning a sail, and may try my lack at fishing, Rose answered. It is so dull at the hotel to day. Well, good luck to you, sir. And the priest passed on, looking back, at length, to see that Ross had chartered a amall sail-boat, and was pushing out at sea. The hours crept on, and the day grew oppressively hot and sultry. The sun glared with a fierce, fiery heat on the blistering sand and bare rocks. The cool breeze of morning died away in a sort of gasping moan, and the air grew heavy and oppres-- sive. A yellow, lurid glow crept into the sky, making it frightful to look at. Outside, the sea wailed softly, as if crying over its dead. Honoria paced back and forth the length of the piazza with hurried steps, her face pale and' anxious, She had seen Ross set forth in the morning, and knew he was still ot ine v blackness stulking fierco- ly up the sky. ' There was danger ou the deep. Ross Ingestre was no longer any thing to ber, but she could not wish him ill, The very agony she suffered betrayed how much she had really cared for him. She would have given life itself to have geen Lim safe on land at that moment, Ray Braddon stood on the piazza, watching sen and sky, like herself. She went up to him at last, catching at his sleeve, O. Ray, she eried,tell me the truth! Is there danger for hime in this awful chauge ? I hope not, he returned, with ap- parent" earnestness. 1t is calm on the ocean new, but there will be a stiff' breeze in 4 few moments, In- gestre wil tuke advantage of it,and ride safely into the bay, no doubt. The black devil in the sky came on faster and ficrcer. The wail of the sen grew loud and more sullen. There was an awful lull, and then the blackness swooped down sudden- ly with a roar and crash that were perfectly deafening, and the wind tore madly over the sands. The storm had brokea. Hororia only waited .to throw a heavy shawl over ber shonlders, and theo darted down the path, to- ward the sea, Ray Braddon and two or three others following her, On the beach she found Father Lee, and just beyond him was the strange woman he hud called Aunt Patienee, sitting on a rock a little apart, her queer eyes fixed eager'y on the deep blackuess that covered the sea, as u trying to penetrate it, the wind sweeping back her gray bair aod faded cotton gown. Even in that awful hour, so.nething in her attitude touched Honoria strangely, and she crept up to her, folding a part of her large warm shawl around her. Is it you ? asked the womun, look~ ing up at her with a sudden gleam in her eyes. I wonder if you are wait- ing for Ruel, too! Don't tell, will you, shaking her head mysteriously, but my Ruel is out on the sea, to day. 1 saw hun when he put out. Honoria listened, thinking she was raving. perhaps. Father Lee came up, standing close beside 'them. This is no place for either of you, he said. You ean do' no here. Go into ome of the coltages yonder, and wait there, We will let you know if any thing happens. . Honoria only 'shook her head.-- Just then the bluckness lifted a little, as a bright flash glared over the wa- ter.. A cry broke from the lips of the threa-- The boat is on the rocks ! 1t could have been only intuition at first that told them it was the 'boat in which Ingestre had gone ont. But the fishermen who were hurrying to the beach had ween it also, 'and wreck, for sueh it now: was, Hono- ria clasped her hauds in keen agony.

Before any one could interfere, she wagin it, and shooting out into the blackiess, cry-' ing ont-- Ruel is there! I'll save him, 'miss; Yes, I'll save him ! The men uttered stifled exclama- tions. She is mad, said the priest. She will surely be drowned. They watched her progress with intense interest. She seemed to battle with the angry waves with all the strength of a dozen men. Her hard, toilsome life had left Aunt Pa~ tience with considerable muscle and sinew in her old age, Perhaps des- peration gave her some stren At any rate she cleaved the foam wifh' powerful strokes. ~ The blackness settled down and hid her from their straining eyes. A. few moments,thag seemed like hours, slipped by. They heard only the crash and bellowing of the storm the angry roaring of the sea. At last a sudden flash revealed the returning boat, now containing two forms in- stead of one. She had saved him! A cheer broke from the fishermen, A few joined hands, making a. long line out into the water. They caught hold of the boat and seat it driving high upon the sand, Ross lay white and weak in the bottom, his head in thh hid woman's lap. She was raining hot kisses on his brow and lips, the tears dropping fast from her blurred and faded eyes. My Ruel, my boy, Ruel, she said, brokenly, : : Mother, he murmured, trying to smile. Honoria heard like one ip a dream. he came close to them, ber eyes glowing through the darkness. Ross saw her by the glare of the lanterns which had been lighted, = : 80 ha lo keep from yoo--that 1 am a cla 'sson! @od fo i we, 1 would almost have sacrificed my mother for yoar love. Bat it is over now. : He clasphd the woman with a rare tendervess. Honoria laid her hand on his arm, asking, softly, Was it your other whom yon met last night, Ross 1 1t was, I have been weak and sinful in my pride. I have left her to toil ulone ull these years, and dared not own her, even after coming back to Rocky Point Beach.. My poor, faithful mother | The tears were like rain on his cheeks. It was a strong man's agony and remorse. You surely might have told the truth to me, Ross, Honoria said. Why did you not ? He looked up at her suddenly,hope lighting bis eyes. You are so proud and haughty, so exclusive, Honoria. What would you have said, had I told you that I was a clam-digger's son. She stooped over them suddenly, dropping her arms about them both. What I say now, dear Ross, that your love could make anything pre- cious to me] Let us thank God for our mother ! . Serious Accioent --The Mount Forest Ezaniiner says Andrew Swanston, jau., 14th concession of Egremont, met with a most painfal accident on the morning of Friday, 29th alt. It seems that while work- ing around the cylinder of a thresh- ing machive, which was just getting into vperation, ha found it necessary to stop it, and to dg.se; instead of removiug the bayd, shoved with one hand some straw into the cylinder, when the siceve of his smock was cuught, the arm drawn in, and the flesh from the elbow to the wrist lacerated in a frightful manner, and two of whe bones of the hand broken. As soon as possible th: wound was properly dressed. We are happy to learn that there exists a possibility of saving the arm. : ---------- 4 Crour.--The Medical Gazette, of Paris, states that M.
