IL.

My father and Horace were to be with us in

the afternoon, and in the morning Elsie and I

went out TO BATHE TOGETHER.

There was no sunshine onthe sea, but the water was fresh and full of motion, just as _ liked it; so we laughed when we were tol that there was danger of a sudden 7 that dav, that very few ladies had ventured out, and even they were returning now. sti,

‘‘Not that there’s any danger, miss, the man said, as he hooked his horses nay - the caravan which i had chosen; ‘‘ only don

you think you'd better take one of the women * ype he '

‘ ’ with you: “ ne “We are not afraid; are we Margaret ?

smiled Elsie ; ** and we help each other quite a she gave orders for her own machine to be wheeled close to mine in the sea, and ran up the steps with a smile and a nod at me,

How well | remember the look of the sea that day, as I stepped into it, and Elsie came up to me with her dancing step and laughing res ! 7 How wide and secret the sea was ! and what a little thing she looked there, battling mer- rily with its waters, so strong agains4 her little shielding hands! and what a horrible longing ) gsessed me, yet what an overmastering fear ! Pear of what: Fear of the waters which I loved? Fear of Elsie’s tiny power? ~Ah, no ; what fear I had was fear of myself.

We were standing quite still, telling each other how calm the sea had grown all in @ minute, and still with that distance between us which I kept so carefully when

THE SQUALL CAME,

A sudden violent rush of wind swept across the waters towards the shore; the waves reared themselves above us, and then swooped down and dashed us helplessly upon the sand.

‘Margaret! Margaret!” —I could hear Elsie’s call as the great wave rolled on—‘‘Your hands !—hold me, hold me!”

| fought my way to her and took her hands, then I looked wildly round. The bathing ma- chines seemed to be miles away from us now, and one was thrown upon its side by that strong rash of wind and water. If we could reach it we might support ourselves, perhaps, until help came, The shore looked lke an- other world to my hot anguished eyes, so iar away, so far away. What was this singing m my ears? Was it the water still? 1 was strong and fearless now; no wave, however fierce and strong, would swallow me. The water was but shallow after all.

‘‘Margaret, where have the waves carried us? ©O, we are lost, we are lost !—help me, Margaret !” si

I put my arms about her—this girl who had won from me all that made life precious—and I held her closely, very closely. She locked up from my arms, her eyes eagerly secking comfort from mine, her lips parted for the question to come panting forth :

‘« SHALL WE BE LOST.”

Then, as if she had read a hopeless answer ; in my face, a piercing cry went up among the clouds :

‘OQ Horace! Horace "’

More closely still I held her now, but held her where the waters must pass over her in their rush. My lips were tight and firm ; my eyes upon that second mighty wave that came so fiercly to engulf us.

‘I am holding you, Elsie! for its coming ?”’

Bent and frail, she stood in my embrace with her eyes closed, while the huge wave, which I could camly stand and watch, come rolling on behind her. Then I held her down firmly and steadily beneath the water, battling the while for my own life aud breath. When at last the sea grew calm again, and we were tossed no longer at the wild, strong, will, I had still my hands upon her shoulders, and under the wa- ters 1 could see

A WHITE, DEAD FACE.

And my strength had not failed me even yet, for: I was holding her so when they found us, and lifted us together ; whispering eagerly that one was living but that the other had been for a long time dead.

Close your eyes,

Iil.

I did not see Horace for a long time, so that when atlast they let me see him the first bit- temness of his grief was past. He asked me

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puotocrapus of a Slyle and Qualily thal has never been before allempled in this City.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, 4 large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar eisewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct alten- tion to the beautiful

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly evamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by bemg wet. ‘This valuadie qualiiy, com- bined wilh their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; wWhileethe difficulty of their production will prevenl them ever becoming 80 common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cao have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &¢

Our pictures of children are sullicient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our. * NLARGEMENTS, fiuished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colers,

have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our Cu jtomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment,

Photographs can be Obtained for less mouey eisewhere ; bul in this case We ask that quality be giveu the preference; as- suring tue public that they will fiad our charges very moderate.

Pah & ORGAN,

many things about that day, and I told him’ ali—save the horrible truth that I had killed | her. 1 told him how Elsie had clung to me in her fear, when that awful wind swept so sud- denly across the sea; but how she had grown so wéak at last and despairing, that she fell, with the second wave and never rose again. He sat beside me while 1 told him this, and then it seemed to grow natural to him to sit | beside me ; and at last I—watching his face— | saw its sorrow fade, and the old look of con- teut return to it. At first it was in silence | that he sat beside me, and this silence [I could understand and share ; but gradually he would | win me on to talk to him, and his eyes would | brighten as he listened. So We grew

DEAR FRIENDS AGAIN,

dearer then we had ever been; and I forgot that white drowned face which lay now side by side with my own mother under the old ce- dar in eur charchyard on the hill.

Qne night we had strolled there together to lay some att won blossoms on the grave ; and | so long he lingered there in perfect silence that | all my fears and my despair came back to me | in overwhelming force. Why he had brought me here where | could see the white drcwued , face, just as | saw it look when I held it still below the waters, after the angry death had |

assed? Should I be obliged to see it thus be- ore nye all my life ?

Silently, as we stood there, we turned frcm the grave side by side; then suddenly Horace clasped me in his arms and kissed me. So t:nderly, and yet so passionately, he kissed me, under the quiet stars, that at that momeat I knew

I HAD WON

what I had so long craved for vainly, He had learned to give a stronger and more fervent love than he had ever given to Elsie.

ROBERT ORR & CO.

Ch’town, Dec.4—

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation'of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the a It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent; the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect,

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas: ters and liniments, and they have failed, and rs want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture of ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAP8te CUM PoROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
