( Conclusion. ) There was a half pitying and half scorn- ful ex )ression iii Margaret‘s eyes as she looltoi up [rem reading this heartless letter to the inoi’tllled. rejected lover. Searcer a year had elapsed since she had suffered, and more deeply than ever Carl could, for hers had been the one true love of her life, while his had been the wildly ambitious dreaiiiofono short tweli'omonth. Yet she said kiiidl ' :— “ I am sorry for you, Carl; but she is unworthy of you. Audit is better to learn this lesson In time.“ " In time !" Did Margaret intend any reproach in her words? No. She was not thinking of the very cavalier reference to that olden relation between Carl and lichelf in Miss Iii-aneoinb‘s cruel note: her only dcsii'c was to soltcn this blow to him. “ Margaret, I know I have no right to your syiiipathy——you, of all women in the world whom I have wronged so!“ broke. out the young man, a tide of crimson surging over his face. “ Carl, I am your sister always; and as such you have the right; yoti would deny. And I thank you for the confidence which brings you to me in your trouble. You will read Miss Iii-niiscumb‘s latter more calmly iii a few days." “ Was Margaret speaking from liorown experience? Did people get over such or ierieiium so easily 3’" Carl could not be p asking: himself. as, a. few hours later, he. sat nioodily in the law-oiliec, brooding.r over the memory of the false girl who had so hcartlessly jiltcd him. (‘ci'tainly her words and iiianuer would have led to such a conclusion; but well is it that hearts are. not always written out on laces, and calm uttoi'aiiccs may olteii veil a tide of turbu- lent feeling beneath. Following that blow which fell sharplv on (‘arl lli'i‘iit‘s high-spirited, ambitious nature, passed another )1 tr, which glided by ealnil, id unevciitl'ully at Non-burg. At its expiration he, was surprised to find that he was not so miserable as he. had thought to be; that life hold much that was consoling for him yet; and all this he owed to the unselfish sister who had, by her kiml ell'orls, won him back to his olden selfagtiin. Ilc even begun to hope that, in time, he might win back all that he had lost in the noble love which, he now felt, had been a prize he never valued :iriglit. And Margaret? Ah. the heart ol woman is ever forgiving and trusting; and sweet dreams again began to iicstlo in her breast. And so at length 'I spoke of his latest, best love; and Mai ct forgave the past; and the old judge, delighted at the enu- summation of the plans of his heart. gave his sanction to their renewedengagement. A happy autumn and winter went and March came, with its ivth equiiim gale. There had been many wrecks of late (ill the Nowbnrg coast; and one morning the old town was startled by the report of minute guns from a ship in dis- tress, and tho pitiful story ran from lip to lip of the vessel that lay below on the jagged reef. Half the inhabitants were immediately down on the beach where the wild storm was driving In the surf with a noise like thunder; and the hardy fisher- men were lowering their boats into the breakers. Two hours wont by, during which time every boat. which had endeavored to gain the reef had been buried back, with its hall-drowned Inmates, u )on the cold hard beach; and then came I ie tearful crv that the vessel was breaking up. Now the fishermen stood ready to rescue nnv whom the rolliii surl might lling sliorowiird, and again the r boats were launched. Wlth the crowd who had come down to the beach stood Mar aret Ili‘eiit, with her aniplo waterproof e oak protecting her from the dr ving rain; while (an, all energy and darin . was foremost among the sailors and ishemien who were eu- deavoring to rescue the passengers of the doomed vessel. And now the horrors of the shipwreck culminated. Body alter body came in on the tremendous Hlll‘i. sometimes borne to tho grasp of the boatnicn, blit oltciier snatched back by the. swift uiidcrtow to the inaiv ofthe hungry sea. Every lionso near the share was owned for the reception of the. rescued; am (‘arl was busy in directing the removal of some to his adopted latherbi, when suddenly turninrr to look upon a pair who, clasped in eat-Pb other's arms, were cast up at hi fcet, he grew pale as death, ejaculating:— “ My God I Paul will Alan's. ’ In a minute more Margaiet was beside him; and as she looked upon the pale, wet. laces at these two, a cold shiver ran through her heart. \Vcre. they dead:2 llad her rejection of Paul Iiranseomb driven him to a foreign land—and had the, cruel sea east him lilelcss at her fleet, to reproach her ovcriiiore? And C. i, too, was feai'lully agitated; blit this was no time to think of might but tho restoration of the. lialf—drowiied pair, who were ini- incdiatcly carried to the. house. Weeks followed after the wreck of that proud government sailing vessol from toroiin shores all the Ncwburg coast. Many lifeless bodies had been washed up long after the fierce eqiiinoclial storm hail speiitits buy. and suclilouiid decent burial, or were reclaimed by their friends; while all those \\ he survived the peril of the wreck had returned to their homes save l’aul lb'aiiscninb and his sisterMario, who still lingered iii the mansion of Judge llrciit; for Marie had, for some time lain from the chill and exposure ol'the o inn. But now she was fast convalesciiig; her old spirits were rcturtiiiig with her bloom: yet still she liiigcred. Why did she not depart Iroiii the presence of that man near whom she, of all, ought not to linger? Who that has ever witnessed the tactics of a thoroughly heartless flirt—a woman, vain. ambitious, capricious, and tickle—- need wonder at her conduct? Mario Ib‘unscomb had been flattered by the ad— iiii 'alioii of the handsome, aspiring young collegian ; she had even fancied herself in love with him; but she had not scrupled to cost him oll‘ for the wealthy and titled suiioi she. met abroad. And now, though she had been less than woman if she had not felt emotions of gratitude to the man who, with his own hands. had drawn her lrom the cruel Surf, and though she found it very pleasant to linger in his home. rc- cciviug his atlciitions, she did not hes am to try her coquettisli arts upon him ni . Not that this vain, cruel beauty repented her past conduct. or intended to acct-pt Carl Ib'ent. Oh no; for she expected her titled qflianece from England in the follow- ing autumn, and to return with Iiiiii a bride; but admiration was so much a passion with the, heartless girl that poor passer la tempts Carl was to be trillcd with anew. And how could Margaret—almost mad- dencd by licrjealous {c.irs, and mistaking the polite attentions ol the host for a warmer feeling renewed for their artful and beautiful guest— son calmly and dispassiountcly? She did not: she asked herself, bitterly, “ Am I to live over again what they once made me suffer?" Aiiil so she came to a sudden decision, born of her 'calmis. exacting love; and without waiting, this time, to assuro hcrsell that (.‘ai‘l might not be falling readin into the toils of tho beaiilifiil teiiiptrcss, she ex- claimed: “I hold the power in my own hands now, and I will turn back upon him what he once meted out to me! This is my decision.” Ilut Carl? Did he bend again at the shrine of the beautiful t'mlllclltt? Not in his v 3’ heart; but it cannot be denied that i gave him strange pleasure to behold that I glity woman grow submissive and pliant: his approach, and to note how the lasriiiatine: polish she had acquired in the Old World circles was held out to him 1:3 a bait—and so he was not to careful of his conduct as he might have been, until he was awakened by his decided and mi- equivocal dismissal by Margaret. " Carl, I see how it is. You wiin to he iron, and return to your old allegiance again. You are like the iiiolli that ho as around the blaze of the candle; and [will not bear this treatment l“ said the girl. " 'I‘~ Ito back your ring—and never, never speak to ineof your wavering, vascillaling :ill'ection again—for Margaret llrcnt will share an divided lie-till" she said, with Iii-unless in her tones. “ You mistake. me, indeed you do! Listen, Margaret !“ began (‘:irl. but she would not listen: for “ ti'illcs light as air" had become, to her heart, “ confirmation sti'ougf‘ and she honestly bel'wcd that this step was rendered imperali c. And so they parted for the . nid lime: and Margaret adhered firmly to the l'nl!’ she had marked out, and announced to her fiillicr that her engagement was at an end the. day following the departure of thcii' guests, for Paul and Marie now brought their stay at Newburg to a close. Judge Iil‘l‘lli looked at his daughter in surprise; but upon her assuring him that it was her own wish that dictated the dc- cisioii, and that she had the lullc 1. reason to believe it suilcd ('al'l cqliull well, he could say nothing, save to intern sigh at this disappoiiittiient of his foudcst plan. ” And now.“ said Margaret, to herself. "I will walk in the path I have marked out, and no ,powcr on earth shall turn me, from it. Let (‘arl's restless, unstable nature sullieo unto himself. I have been humbled snl‘llcionily; and I will listen to no excuse he would thrust n ma me." But if Margaret expi-eti-i (‘arl would attempt to turn her from the position he had taken. she was destined to bo disap- pointed; lor he iiiaiiilaiiied a respectful resorve during; the few weeks he remained at home, and then bade her a calmly kliiil adieu, and left Ncwbnrg for the city, where he was to attend the law school [or the last course of lectures. And Margaret settled down into it sorl ol proud, apathetic, forced calm, which she mistook for growing indifl'crenco. " When we meet again, he will probablv be under the spell ol some other lady, il Marie Ilranloomb should chooso to iilt him now she has brought him to her feet a second time I" sho muttered scoriifully. Four years later, in the city where he had taken up the ja'ucticc ol his profession, Carl lirent received the following tele- gram :— “Come to Newburg immediately. Father is very ill—perhaps dying. IlliitoAitic'r." " She does not say ‘ conic Itonn’,‘ " said the lawyer, bitterly, “ but I will go, if only for the loveI hear him who has so nobly stood in the relational lather to me,“ and he thrust aside the papers of an im- portant law onso pending,r the court then in session, and left his office. At the close of the following: day he stood beside the bed of tlieold Judge, who lay sti'i u down by apoploxy. ’I‘hus had he lam inseiisiblo from the time of the stroke, tiiitil this presrnt hour. when reason and speech both returned to illu- mine the life that must soon go out in death to be rekindled beyond the tomb. Margaret was at her post of filial duty— ealni and teai'lcss, thouin her heart was well nigh rent; and, just. as the sands of his lilc were ebbing out, the oldjuilgo took llcl‘ cold hand, and, placing it within his adopted son's, said lccbly. but with an expressive look :- “ I leave you to console each other, my children." “My lather—my more than benefactor —-belicvc mo, Margaret‘s happinc ' shall be held dearer to me than my own l'c< sp-nidcd Carl, solemnly. The c. ,. ol the dying man i'oved from one to the other with a wistful glance, and he iinirniorcd, “()h, ifit could be so, I should die happier!" Iiotli understood the wish thus ' ially expressed; and (‘arl eagerly ex iiicil, “There is nothing,r you could desire con- nected with our future, but it Would give me happiness to liillil, my dear fathcr!“ and then he looked 2H eagerly, and with a yearning expression, towards his coiiipan- ioli by the bedside. And Ma "I" iot—-—\vith her dear father's breath fluttering on her lips, how could she. refuse him any request? llcr check grew pale , and the hand more chill she laid iii (‘arl‘s extended one; but his own closed with a firm pressure over it. and the feeble, iicrvclc ' one of the dying clasped them both crc Judge Brent lay dead upon his pillows. Margaret found Carl very kind and un- remitting in his attentions after her lather was gone. In the settlement ol'tlic affairs that devolved upon them, she found him invaluable as a counsellor; and all that :i kind friend, a tender brother, or a devoted lover could be, he was in this time of tiial to her poor, orphaned heart. lint her manner to him was thal of :i sister‘s only. 'l‘ruc, she intended, when tho time came, to rcdr .m the sacred promise which he had given the dead; but, tiieaiitimc, she gave Carl no clue to her heart. With her trials. and tho 'ruardcd, reli— cciit lilo she had lived those Inst lourycars, Margaret had grown so gr: 'o and uiiilcin- onsti'a ve that one would have said she was i u a statue, which could never be awakened from its frozen, marble sleep, (‘an did not return to the distant city, save to draw his business there to nclosu: for he had announced his ilcterniiiintioii to remain at Ncwburg. and assume the. prac- li . il'thc departcdjudge. And there his old friend l’aul liranscomb found him, six months alter the shadow of loss had lulleu over the scasnlo mansion. ’aul—always st ‘fllgllllnl'tt'fll‘ll, frank, and honorabl 5 his sister Mario was vain and eapr ions—brought them news ofhis family. Marie had just rcsailcd for England, after a home visit with lici'titled husband, whom she had married three years before; Julia—gov, affectionate, and impulsive as ever—\va just wedded to the man worthy her choice; and—iii a happy voice he told this—ho was shortly to lead to the alter one wliohail consented to bless his future with her love. And Carl listened calmly. and offered lricndly congratulations; while Margaret, who had ever appreciated the worth of Paul, expr sscd her Satisfaction that he had, at length, found the companion who could bring him happiness. During that visit of Paul‘s, all the old friendly intimacy, heiwlitciieil by increas- ing recognition ol each other‘s true chartin- sprang up between Margaret and her a Each felt that they could act them- selves lully and freely, now that all res- traint between them was removed; and Paul, who, with intuitive perception, saw the st lc of all' ' 's between his friends, one day d to her: ~— “ You will not think me intrusive, Ma '- g. ‘ct, il'l offer a. word in bcl ll' of Carl. Are you quite sure, my dear friend, that you are doing him justice by your inivnry- inir life of calm conduct towards him?“ ' What do you mean, Paul I" asked the girl, thouin her llushiiigr cheek told that she fully lllllllII'SlOIMI him. “ (hily Ho's,“ answered Paul, kindly. You know, Margaret. that you and (‘an are the twu dearest friends I h: "u; and it pains me inexprcssibly that you should go on misnndorstaiuling each other in this wa '. t‘arl loves youtruly and dcvntcdly; and I believe ‘ou do him and that this lei-ling has revisited for ye ., despite that unhappy interruption Iiiy tapricious sister Marie gave it. And it is (Ins [would coin» plain of, Margaret—that you, usually so just and generous, have not yet forgiven (Jai'l for that all'air, when I know that. be, long ago, sincerely repented of it." “ You are trunk, to sav the, least, Mr. lb'aiisconib," said Margaret, with height- cIicd color. “ I think I aiiijusl, Margaret," was his reply, "and I rely upon our long li'iciid- ship to prove thatl desire your happiness.“ This conversation occurred on the morn- ing ol the day 01 I’aul's departure; and that afternoon, in order to think over his words in calm solitude, Margaret left the house and straytd down to the beach. It \\ s a cool, cloudy suiiimer‘s sunset; and a. s shadows lengthened, she walked on and on, liiitil, retracing her stops upon the shore, she gained the reel which was her favorite seal, and then she panned, while the, gray of evening fell. am the cool soa- breezo fanned her heated brow. Sittin there, with her forehead bent on herliimt s, Miirr'ai'et revolved Paul's words. Had she, iutlcul, been suspicious and im- just! Ilad (furl. indeed, loved her through all those years; and hail his passion tor Mario Rraiiscomb been only a brief fasci- nation. fi-om which he would have awak- ened sooner or later it she had not so humiliated and wounded his pride by her cool rejection when a wealthier suitor ap- peared? And had Kilt! not been mistaken. a iii imagining that he fell, a second time, I victim to her lures? Surely: else, when tree again, he would have returned to her shrine—and this Margaret acknowledged to herself that she had never board of III: doing. And then she suddenly remem- bered, willi a shame she had never felt before, that she had i'el'Iisud to listen to any explanations when she had dismissed him so cuitly imd coldly; and that, ever since their sudden re-ln-trothal by tho (loath-bed of her lather, she had all'ordod (.‘nrl no op. portunity of speech concerning his l'oriiicr conduct, but had been cold and lorhiddiug as an iceberg. But as Margaret sat there in the gray evening. she hail not noticed that the tide had turned, and, even while she was absorbed in thought, was creepiii up around the outermost rock she hm chosen for her seat; and she quite forgot that the sea had a higher surf than usual, oiviii ' to it northeast storm which had pre- vailct‘l, one of those wild storms which of- ten creep into the heat ol tho summer- time. And so she lingered, indwelling the in- coming tide, which was rapidly and treach- erously creeping up around the rocks till one could searcer discern their outline lrom the watery sands, until she was very suddenly roused by a huge breaker which burst halfovor her and dashed tho >prcy high into her lace. 'I'hcn. aware of hcrllangcv, slicjumpcd to her feet. and turned to flee to the shore. lint what had come over the night? A sighiiig wind had sprung up; the sea was moaning sadly; the darkiicssliad gathered deeply: alliick iiiisthiul draped both ocean and shore; and she could scarcely discern a hand's breadth before her. And the in- i'usliiiig tide—how wildly and rapidly it was sweeping up over the roof where she stood 1 She realized her danger; but she dared not stir, for she knew not where to step, and there wore etldying and deepening pools around the ham-s ol the rocks. Was she to perish there, now lite had suddenly become so dear to her? and a call for him whom she had shunned, and even doubted before, rang out wildly and piercineg on tho tli k, misty air. “ Carl! (.‘arl, save me I" rose high above the surging waters. Minutes went by that scouted like ages; and than she fell the chill waves curling up higher around her. Again she cried; but the wind, driving in from the sea, though it might have borne her cry far landward, carried no response back to her cars. She had taken her stand on the. highest point of the rock; but now her foothold was growing,r slippery, for the. tide came up stronger. until it i 'ashcd over hera.klcs, then rnso and rose, and the phite sprcy dashed cruelly against her ilCt‘. “ Carl! Carl! It you love me, save me! Oh! must I drown here in sight of home ?“ again broke ft-ai'l’ully distinct on the air; and then her sciiscs reeled—she heard not the loud, cheery call ‘ I am here! Cour- age, my Margaret l'——and knew not that she had slid lrom tho wet, slipper ' rock into her lover‘s rescuing arms, and that she owed her life to the affection she had in« vokcil. When (‘arl Brent listened, next morning to Margaret's expressions of gratitude, he did not fail to tell liar how, often and again. during those last coldly painful months, he had sighed to be near her and share her thoughts, as he had sighed that preceding r: 'twilight, when from afar he watchct h . ‘ walking down to the lone- ly shore, whence licr cry of danger had limited up to him in the misty darkness. llut he did add, with a tender smile, “ I am glad, Margaret, that it was in my power to save your lonely life (here, on tho spot where I lirst told you I loved you. And have I not fully cxpiated the faults of the past ? We are both older and wiser now—and the experiences of ten years have surely taught as that our hearts may no longer be. divided."

The wildest coast nation was at once universal. l. lies rushed to and lro with piercing screams, imploriiig the men to help them. Iiut no means seemed at hand, and each sought his individual rcs~ one. At this tearful moment a negro bov— one of llll' crew—was seen quietly lashing a long and stout rope round his bodv, at the other end tying a stick of wood in its centre. ' Instantly, with this apparatus, he Iill‘l‘lV himself into the river. 'I‘uriiinnr upon his back, the. stick ilrilted to the rope‘s cod, and calling upon two ladies, who stoodoii the edge ol'thc boat—one with a child in her arms—4m urged thcin to spring, and catch either end of the slick. Horror- >(l'lt'kt‘ll, they hesitated. 'l‘hc. negro lav i-nlinly on the w. s, and, in tones ol emi- liilciice, told them it was their only hope, insisting: that he would cai them safer to the above.
