of every cheek.


The old man leaned over them both and
said, G Did not tell thee right? Yes,
yes-I knew he'd be back-Dover again
Deal !" and SO saying, he gave way like
child, and wept freely. When he dried
his eyes, reason had resumed her throne,
and the extravagant emotion Of the other
parties had become subdued.


Seated between his wife and father, in
few words the returned husband related his
story. The boat was swamped by striking
the wreck of ships foretopmast, recently
carried away and towing by her side.
When thrown out Of the boat he caught
hold Of some Of the floating wreck, and
so gained the deck of an American ship,
bound from Holland for India. They fell
in with no vessel which they could put
him on board Of, and he had performed
the voyage thus far, she being again bound
for Holland; but, leaking badly, she was

Upon their return the party brought a
share of the ships company with them.
They had also pressed band Of music into
their service, which threw the humble fd-

last stages. Oh, but that vas night of mer-

house declared that it never was the Wa

Meg has resigned the reign to Alice, who
rules over all, save her husband, being toe

old man leaving its door, with happy boy
by his side, vending their way to the cliffs,
to keep the lookout, which has never ceas-
ed to be his daily habit.
