A wiM storm was mciru ttpon tlt Mol tiprraoenn S?a, near tlie clo-e of a dreary NovtMtiWr day, and pky and water were J Hack with the doom of the sittloen atui furious tetttpest. brrre which a small sailing vessel was scudding under bare poles. Her build and liggii'sr proclaimed her Sardinian. She was The Gntl, Captain Wirino master, on her way from Cagliari to Palermo. She had on board two seamen, and two passengers. These passengers were Knglishmen who had procured passage on the Uull to Val ermo, whence they intended to emharcfe by steamer to Marseilles, the following day. While the Certain and bis assistants tvere tendins to their duties, and expressinn apprehensions as to their safety, the two Kosrlishmen stood apart, leaning cinst the low bulwarks,- and surveying the wild scene around them. These men were both young, apparently of the same ag", about throe and twenty, but evidently they were not of the same station in life. One, the more striking of the two, was aristocratic in his bearing, tall, slender and handsome, with a trank, smi'in mouth, a pair of fearless blue eys, set under a wide and massive forNjhead, and tawny hair blowing hack from his tacc. N h'e, generous and kind hearted, he had an adventerous disposition aud a dauntless coulee. lie was Ctiy Tressilian, the only son and hrirofSir Arthur Trr-ssi'.ian, Uaronet, of Tressilian Court. Kngland. His companion presented a remarka ble resemblance to him, being alo tall, slender and fur, with tawny hair and mustache, but he had not the frank smile, the hright fearless look or the j iyous spirit that charaetemcd Young Tressilian. Young as he was he had seen much of the lak side of life, anal his experience had been such as to develop in him some of the worst qualities of his nature. He was Jasper Lowder, Cuy fressilian's hired traveling companiou and bosom -friend. The meeting and connection of the two has a touch of romance. Young Tressil ian had spent four years in a (ierniau university, whence he had been graduated with honor. On leaving the university, in obedience to his father's written commandite had undertaken a tour of the countries inclosing the Mediterranean Sea, in company with one of his late tutors. This gentleoiafc being unexpectedly promoted to a professorship, abandoned Tressilian at Baden, leaving him to find another traveling companion. Un the evening of lha very day after this desertion, as Cuy Ttessilian was sauntering through the streets of Baden, he had been assaulted by a trio of his own countrymen, all more or less intoxicated. It was apparent that they took him for another, and intended to reak vengence out of him. Without allowing him to speak, they forced htm to defend himself Guy was getting the worst of the conflict, when a stranger camearunning to his assistance, and in a few ra iments the two had put the ruffians to flight. The stranger who came so opportunely to Guy's assistance was Jasper Lowder His resemblance to young Tressilian awakened in the latter a romantic interest, lie questioned Lowder, learning that he was poor and alone in the world, and took him with him to his hotel. Believing that the similarity of features indicated a similarity of tastes and natures, he engiged Lowder as his traveling companion, and th past year they had spent together more like brothers than like employer and employed. This storm is a regular Levanter, said Lowder, clinging with both hands to tt,. bulwarks. 'Io you thiak the craft

i will aland it, TreeeiHaa? j 'Oh, ye, answered yinn Treeailian, wiptotf the rait ppray from his lace. 'The j Captain knows the Sicilian coast perfectly. In two hours, or lees, we shall be in the hay f Palermo. In three hours we shall be domiciled in the best room in the hotel Trinacria, with the best supper which 'Cesser Itagusa can fumh-h. And tomorrow, at noon,' he added, 'we shall em . bark for Marseilles in a Messtgeries

steamer. And from Marseilles Jroat will proceed to Em land and to TressUtan Court said Lowder with a bitterness. 'And I what i is to become of me t I hate had a year of , unalioted nepptnea, and now comes back j the- drudgery, the hopeless toil, the anxio tv of the wretched old life. Yi picked ne up at Uaden, a poor adventurer seeking to pain a living by teaching KnglUh and th? same des'iny is open to me now. Trensilian turned his handsome fae upon his companion in surprise and fcffectionate reproach. 'Jasper V he exclaimed, 'you talk strangely. Do you suppose I have called you friend and brother so long, and loved you so weM, to lose you now ? I meant to have written to my father concerning you and your fortune, Jasper, but his sudden recall, received teserday, causes me to return home without wnttsg. I ! shall telegraph from Marseilles that you j wriit come home with me. And you will, win you nor r 1011 win not. aoanaon me my friend? L will charge myself with your future. will see that you obtain the position to which your ttlenta entitle you. You have no lies to keep yon on the Continent V A strange expression passed over Jasper Lowder's face. No. t have no ties,' he said huski'i?. And you will go home with me?' 'What will your ftther say to my coming?' demanded lewder, 'lie will :hink your generosity Uiixotic. lie will di miss from his house the hired companion who dates to resemble his son-' A sudden lurch of the little vessl, a wave sweeping oxer the deck interupted he sentence. 'You wrong my father,' said Tressilian' his blue eves kindling, when the vessel had righted, 'lie is the noblest man in ihe world. He will welcome my friend as his own. You will love him, Jasper, as I do, when jou know htm 'He doesn't seem very affectionate,' re plied Ltwder. 'Yon have been away from jour home for five years, and he has but justTeealled you!' Young Tressiiian's ' cheek flushed, as Lawdersaw in the lurid glow that tnomen latily lighted up the tempestuous scene 'You know, or can guess the reason. Jasper, he said with some hing of an ef fort; 'My father has a ward, the daughter of an old friend Ah, hear that wicked shriek I The gale is increasing. 'Yes.' answered Lowder. 'And the ward is Miss Irby the golden haired Blanche of whom you have talked so much, and with whom you have exchanged letters V 'Yes. My father formed a project to have me tuayry Blanche. . He did not wish us to grow up together, lest we should learn to regard each other as brother and sister. When Blanche come to live at the Court my father sent me to Germany. The night before I left home, he called me into his library and told me all his hopes and plans for my future, and entreated me to continue worthy of bis in. nocent.ward, and to keep tnv heart pure for her. I have done so, Jasper. I have never yet loved any woman, and yesterday I received my father's summons to come homo. Ho has recalled me after five years of absence. I know the wish that lies nearest his heart, lie wants me to return and marry Blanche. 1 shrink from the proposed marriage. I dread coing home And I dread offending my dear father, whom I love bnter thin any woman. It is hard, Jasper, to revolt against the hopes nod plans ol a kind and generous fethet, whose very love for me causes him to urae on this rmrriage. 'Is it?" slid Lower dryly, and with a strange smile full of sneering bitterness. 'My experience has ben widely different from yours, Tressilian. Did I ever tell you of my father?' 'No. I took it for granted that he was dead " Perhaps he is. I don't know,' said Loader, with a reckless laugh. 'But if he ts living he is a soondrel Don't start, Ttessilian, at my unfiiial speech. Wait till you hear my story. I am in a desperate mood to-night. This storm stirs up all the badwithin me. As nearly as I can discover, my father was the younger son of a prou b ld county family ' 'You do not know, then? asked Tressi lian. pressing his companion's hand. 'I have no proofs of it. All I positive ly know is this. My mother was of humble station, pretty, with blue eyes and an apple blossom face, and tender, appealing ways. She was the daughter of a widow, residing at Brighton. The widow, my grandmother, kept a lodging-house, -and myfatber, a gay, dashing young fellow, came to lodge with her. As might have been expected, he fell in love with his landlady's daughter. lie offered the young girl marriage, on condition that the union should be kept secret until his af fairs brightened and he chose to divulge it. The young girl loved hiui. Her mother was ambitious and penurious.' The result was the lover had his way, and married the daughter of his landlady quietly, almost secretly. Then he took his bride to London, to cheap and obscure lodgings, where, a year later, I was born.' The wind for a moment drowned his voice. As it presently lulled, he resumed recklessly, and with passionate bitterness: 'For years my mother and I lived in those stuffy1," obscure lodgings until her bloom had faded, and she had grown thin and wan and nervous. My father visited us at stated seasons, once or twice a week, but he never brought any of his family to call upon us. I doubt if his aristocratic

I

IE relatives oven suspected the existence of the faded wife and son of whom he was secretly ashamed. I have good reason to believe that he had fine lodgioga at the West End, where he was supposed to be a bachelor, and that he weut into fashionable society, while my poor mother and I lived obscurely. He was a profligate and a roue, bat he had an air of fashion that awakened my boyish admiration, and aroused my mother's affectionate pride in him. She was alwaya pleading to be introduced to his relatives, and to have her son publicly aokoow'edged. But ray father alwaya put her off, "saying that be was not yet ready. Worn out and despairing, my mother died when I was ten yeara old. Again the wind ahrteked past, again the little vsieeel lurchod, the sea. sweeping her deck. The captain screamed his orders to his men, and for a few minutes disorder resigned. 'A nasty bit of weather!' said Lowder. 'And a bad skT ' 'Yes, but I've seen as bad, returned Tressilian. 'We shall make port all right, never fear. We must be well on toward the Cape di Gallo. And it's only tseveu mile from the Cape to Palermo.' Uut the seven miles iu this etorm are worse than seventy in good weather. These coasts are daogerous, Tressilian ' Lowder shuddered as be surveyed sea aud bky. 'But about jour father, Jasper?' said Tressilian, who had become deeply inter ested iu his companion's story. 'What did he do after your mother's death?' '1 reniaioed at the old lodgiugs with our single old servaut a mouth or more, my father visiting me aeveral times, and expressing anxiety as to what he should do with me. A week after my mother's death, he told me that his brother was dead. A taontn later, his father was kill ed by being thrown from bis horse My father camo iuto riohes and honors bv these deaths. At last, deciding to rid himself of me, he took me down to Brighton, to myxoid graudmoiher. Her sous were deao; she had given up keeping lodgers, and wasgrown miserly, lie promised her five bandied pounds a year to keep me, aud to keep also the secret of my paternity, solemnly promising to acknowledge tue some day as his son and heir The old woman agreed to carry out his wishes. She would have done anything for mooey. I never saw my father again I weut to school, grew up, and at the ai;e of tweuty-oue came into my grandmother's tuouey, the fruits of years uf saving, she dyiugatthat time. My father had deliberately abandoned me I did not know where to seek him, if I had wished to. 1 took my money aud came abroad. I had been .two years on the Cootinent, and had spent my little fortune when I met you The rest you know.' 'An odd, romantio storyt But why did your father abandon you? That he luigtii be treed of encumbrance to make a grand marriage. From what my grandmother said at different times, I conclude that my father was in love with a titled lady before my mother's death. No doubt he married this lady. If he lives, this lady's son may be his acknowledged heir. My father has utterly disowued the son of his first hasty, ill-starred marriage. I have a fancy that I shall meet him some day,' and Jasper's brow darkened to deeper blackness. 'However, I stand no chance of ever receiviog justice at his hands. 'What is your father's name, Jasper?' asked Tressilian. Lowder's face darkened. He bit his lip savagely. 'What I have told you abiut myself I learned from my own observation, or from chance words of my parents and grandmother. My mother's maided name was Jeanctte Lowder. At our London lodgiugs, my father bore the name of Lowder. I don't know his real name, but I should know his face anywhere, although I have not Been him iu thirteen years. My moth er was actually married, Tressilian, but t never heard my father's name The cler , gymao who married my mother was dead; the witnesses also. ben my grandraoth -er was dying she tried to tell me the story She had put it off too long. All that I could understand of her mumblings was the name of Devereux. 1 shall never for. get that name 'Devereux!' Probably that was my father's name my own rightful name. But as I should never find him if I sought him, and as he would repulse me if I did find him, I stand no chance of inheriting 'his property. He may be dead. He may have other sons who have succeeded him. It is all a mystery, bat the prominent truth is that I am an outcast, poor, disowned and friendless.' He leaned over the bulwark, the spray dashing over his face violently. Tressiiian's heart warmed to him. 'My poor friend!' he said. 'Must t say again you are not friendless while 1 live. My father has influence enough to obtain for you a government appointment. This tangle may straighten itself out son) day. But if it don't, yon are resolute enough to make your own happiness.' He grasped Lowder's hand, and looked with warm bright eyes, full of sympathy, into Lowder's loweriog face. There had been a temporary lull in the storm. But as the two stood there, the tempest revived and sweptover the wild sea in maddened rage. There was no time for talking now The wind rose so high that words would scarcely have been distinguished. The storm that had gone before had been but play to this awful outburst. The vessel drove 00, creaking and groaning, a mere cookie shell on the billows. . Mother of Mercies! wailed tb captain. 'It'a all op with us. signorea. We shall go on the rooks. St. Anthony save osl The seamen eeboed his cries. The two young Englishmen, comprehending their peril, olasped hands in silence.

WHOLE NO. 470. For the next few minutes it seemed that a Pandemonium reigoed. Then a noise like the report of a cannon suddenly boomed through the storm and the darkness. The little vessel shivered, staggered, and careened upon her side. She had struck upon a rock. A moment .later crew and passengers were struggling in the waters. A tew moments of buffeting and tossing. of vain struggless and agoavied, mvolun tary prayer, and then Jasper Lowder felt his senses slip from him, and became un conscious When he came to himelf, he was lying upon a rocky beach of the Sicilian shore, ore, bruised, ana weak as a child. He opened his jryet. The wind had spent its furyjaod now moaned along the coast with a desolate, dopairiog wall. The waves beat agiinst the rocks. Lowder struggled to his elbow. Wrecked! he muttured. I am cast ashore whlie the others are drowned! Oh this is terrible! t have lost my best friend tonightl' He moaned and wrung his hands. 'He i dead, who would have done so much for me, and I so worthless am saved! All my hopes of an ea.j and luxurious life must be resigned now!' At that oiotnent he beheld a dark object at a little distance in the wa'er. The waves hurled this object against the projectinsr head of a sunken rock. . At the same instant Lowder recognized it as the body of a man. lie crept toward it, and the waters dashed the body on the shore at his feet. He put his hands on thearface. How coll - a . . 1 1. ii. 1 1 .1 - , mi wet it wasi ii inn use tne lace or a dead man! Lowder's fingers came in contact with the soft, silken mustache, and he knew that the body was that of Guy tressilian! Of the five who had stood on the sloop's deck a half-hour earlier, these two alone were left. The captain and his crew had found their deaths among the cruel, yawn inir waters. Lowder thrust his hand under the waistcoat of his friend, but be could not perceive the beating of his heart. Despair took possession of hitn. 'Dead!' he sail shi illy. 'Dead! And he would have done so much for me if he had lived! Aud his father and the young girl he was to have married will wait in vain for his coming! His placs at Tressilian Court is empty. Who can fill it?' It seemed to him that some demon at his side echoed the question: Who could fill the place left vacant by noble Guy Tressilian? A thought camo to him a thought so strange and sinister that he shivered involuntarily. . Again he felt of 'Tressiiian's heart. It gave no throb against his hand. He pressed his hand over fresiilian's head and discovered a gaping wound in the skull. The hair was clotted with blood. Putting his hand into his breast pocket, Lowder drew out his little water-proof match-safe. He opened it with trembling fingers and struck a light. The red flicker dauced on young Tre.silian's face. How ghastly and terrible it looked! The eyes were closed, the smile was gone. The seal of death seemed set on the noble features. Lowder examined the wound. It bad been made by contact with the sharp rock, and even Lowder perceived its terrible character. 'If he is not dead, he soon will be,' he muttered 'His brain has received an awful injury. He will never know who he is again, lie won't lt.e till morniog. and he is perhaps dead already. He must be dead!' Again it seemed to him as though some demon echoed his words. The match dropped from his fingers into the water. For a little while be croauhed 00 the wet stones in silence, buttling it may be with the better aud noble ioatiucta of his nature. At last, with sudden and abrupt stealthiness, his hands stole into the breast pocket of Tressilian and drew out his private note-book, a packet of letters, a few trinkets. He secured these among his own wet garments. Their posses.siou seemed to give him courage, aud bis face hardened, and ho knelt beside the body of his friend and rifled his garments of all tliut I hey contained, bestowing his plunder on his own persuo. Then he took his own purse, bis notebook, a few receipts and trifles fVom his own pockets, and put them iu the pockets of Tressilian. 'It is done!' he whispered to himself, looking with wild dt-fiaut eyes through the darkness. 'No one is harmed, lie is dead. If he had lived, he would have provided for me. As ho is dying or dead, 1 must provide for myself. This likeuess between us will make my fortune. His frieuds will be spared a Jerribie grief, aud I I shall live at last! Fortune gives me a chance to gain name aud wealth at one lucky stroke!' As if to give himself no chance for repentance, he arose to hia J'eet and turned his searching glances in an inland direction. A light, as from a cottage window, glimmering faintly through the thick hate, caught his grze. liaising his voice, ho called loudly: Help! Ho, there! help!' Tbe wind had abated, and his cries rang out through the night with startling distinctness. The light he had seen moved aod disappeared. A minute later, answering cries reached Lowder's ears, and he heard hasty steps, aid saw the approach inglightofa lantern, borne aloft by a man's upraised arm. This way!' shouted Lowder- 'We are wrecked on the rocks! For thejove of Heaven, hasten!', - . The bearer of the lantern, attended by a male companiou, came ruooing to him, and was soon at . h'ts aid. The lantern bearer was a rough Sicilian fisherman, a grade above his class. His companion was also Sicilian, but evidently of somewhat higher degree. Both were all excite meut, astonishment and sympathy.

So this boy, whose name we will eall Peter, saved up his money, and bought a fiddle and I doubt if anybody could have got much music out of it; but Peter had no doubt that he could play a tune offhand. He did not like to make the attempt bdfore the folksj so he found a quiet corner by the garden fence, where he thought he could try his la idle in private. There he seated himself, and Sport the house-do,;, took a seat by his side. Peter put the fiddle against his shoulder in a very scientific way. and drew tbe bow slowly across the strings. The sound that came forth was very much like a proloned squeak; but Peter was pleased tvith it. 'Ah,' said he. 'this Is .a very fine toned instrument Now for a tune! I will begin with 'Homo, sweet home,' So Peter began to play. He handled his fiddlestick in most excellent time; but somehow be could not make the tune oome out right. Still ho kept on trying. An old black spider let herself down from her web, and looked at bim in amassmeot. As to poor Sport, he bore the noise like a hero; but it was to much for hiui at las'; he opened his jaws slowly, and gave a long, mouruful howl. Now, while this was going 00, Peter's father and another gentleman were sitting in the library, not far away; and, as the windows were open, of course they beard all the music. 'It's that rascally dog, Sport,' said Peter's father, 'worrying the pigs again. I will have. him chained up.' It's no pigs,' said the other gentleman; 'It sounds to me more like somebody sharpeniuing a saw.' Just then Sport's howl come in by way of chorus. At that both gentlemen ran to the window aud looked out; aod there they saw Peter with his fiddle. The Nursery. Never Say Die.

A prisoner was once arrained in Kent county, Mich., for stealiog pork. He retained a young, taleuted, aud ingenious member of the profession for bis defense. Having listened to tbe prisoner's own story and heard from him what in all probability the People's witnesses would swear to, he eaudidiy informed his clieut that it was useleaa to waste mouy on Lis defense. 'Never you mind,' was tbe confidential reply; 'you argue my case good aud strong, just as if you believe me a persecuted man, and here is twenty dollars tor you.' The lawyer worked up to ibe contract, and before be hud half summed up he had ihe jury iu tears at the bare idea ot suatohiug sucu a bright example of domestic and social worth Iroiu the bosom of Ins family aud the society of hi a neighbors, to be thrust amoog fetous iu a common j til.
