Prvsently it burst upon her. The wiads ela-ned like ren thousand war:ing sabres, end the wad waves rau mountains high The little boat went Over like a coklesheil, aod the man who sat ia it weat down.

Janet uttered a wild ory, and leaped dowa fiom the rook. She felt as if ber own eoal were being engulfed in thosa mad waves Sho ran down upon the wet sand to the very edge of the foaming water. A great con- vulstve shock, a towering wall of foam scion og up iato the darkness, and tben a drenelied figure, a white, dead face, lay at her feet.

Bae kaelt down, raising the poor head to her las, parting the tanyled hair from the iey brow. Thea her wail of agony rose above the dim of the storm

‘Oh, Ross! Ross!’ she cried; ‘1 have)

Gnce more tho eweet-scented byaciaths threw their incense on the breeze, and the golaen hearted panz‘es vloowed on the gar- den borders, and the happy birds rang. The old rector of Streamville slept sweetly io the little churchyard, and the bells in the windy steeple were ringing out a wedding chime. ‘The fitful April swolight streamed through the low windows of the parsonage, gtinting in golden flashes ou the spotiess robes of a bride—on the fair, sweet face of *% woman whose sowl bad been purified of all dross, ie the bot farnace of sore afilic- tion The happy bridegroom stood at her aide.

She looked ap with s happy smile, put- ‘ting ber hand on bis.

‘God kept us for each other,’ she said, ‘and notkieg bad power to part us, True love is ommipotens, dear Ross; it brought you back to me from the very ends of the earth ; even out of the depths of the stormy sea.”

And then the wedding chimes filled all the summer air, and hand-in-hand Koss Mil- burn aod Janet Raeburr went down to the chareb, the people shouting, and little chil- drea strewing flowers along their way; and there in the presence of God, the two be- eame as ove flesh. And frow henceforth their one life kaew naught but perfect peace. .

Tue sontimental looseness which is so larzely eacouraged in our day finds its illus- tration and evi! wesult in numerous ways, We are expected to govern and conquer by ** love, ’ ignoring the severe means by which muthority has been wholesemely maintained in ell time. To the cultivatiou of these ideas we may justly refer, in a large part, the pre- vailing iaxness of idea and conduct in the martixge relation. Persons of both sexes who tiud. after the Bovelty of the umon has worn off, that there are hardships and heart-burmngs to be endured, are seized with sentimental longings for * soa! unions,’’ and notions that the “sucred human heart ’’ is not to be ** outraged ” bya life spent with an un- congenial cumpanion, and hence our dockeis abound in divorce cases. We need in every relation of life more of the old notions of the

any sea perils. Here His Lordship quoted law authorities showing that insurers had nothing to do with losses caused. solely by protiacted voyages.

Insurance contracts, he sa‘d. were not ‘made against adverse winds, but against | dangers of the sea, and damages resulting from the perils of the sea only. Another point to be considered was, did the damp- ness of fish arise fron: soa water. .or from: that natural dampness inherent in the article itself. 1f dampness arose from the leakage of the vessel, then the Insurers were liable. Here. His Lordship quoted English and American authorities on this point, and told the jury to consider the question as to whether the dampness urose from sea perils or from the natural causes alluded to. In regard to a clause in the policy, which seemed absolutely to exenipt the Company from any damage arising from goods being mouldy, spotted or dis- colored, the judge thought the true con- struction of the policy was that the Com pany would be lable for damages of this description if caused by sea perils, notwith- standing the broad manner in which this clause of the policy was expressed. The rule of law he said wasto look notto one clause only, but to consider the general or broad construction of the whole contract. If the potatoes were damaged from their own perishable nature, or from frost, or pro- tracted voyage, those were casualties not insured against; and if the fish were damaged by the liquid exuding from the potatoes, damaged through any natural or atmospheric causes, and not from sea water, the Insurers were not liable for the damaged fish. These points, he to'd the jury, were left for them to decide, and if they arrived at the conclusion that the damiges to the cargo did not arise from sea perils, they would find verdict for de- fendants; but if you arrive at the opposte

Constructive Total Loss. His Lordship then reviewed the evidence touching the meet- ing of the Board of Directors, the entry

in their Minute book, and the construction

put on said Minutes, which he said wus

pot an acceptance of abandonment.

Next, came the question, Was the state

of the cargo such as to justify the abandon-

ment? His Lordship then explained the | law on that point showing the difference | between a partial loss and a Constructive | tutal loss. He also pointed out the law touching the duties of ship masters. to use all reasonable means within their reach for the protection and safety of property in their charge. ‘The owners of the cargo state that there was not sufficient facilities for drying it at Halifax in order to send it on toits portof destination. On this point, aud as to the ble cost of and repacking the fish at Halifax, sufficient evidence Was wanting to enable the Jury to find whether the loss was total or partial. From the testimony however, of the mer- chants who purchased the fish at Halifax
