At this season of the year multitudes

of people wade , into the ponds and

-lakes, and rivers and seas. At first putting out cautiously from the shore, but having; learned the right stroke of arm and foot, they let the waters roll over them, and in wild glee dive; or float or swim. So. the text will be very suggestive; "He shall spread forwi His hand in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim " Inn fisherman seeks out uuf reauented nooks You stand all day on the the bank of -a river in the broiling sun, and fling out your line and catch nothing, while the expert angler breaks through the jungle and goes by the shadow of the solitary rock, and, in a place where no fisherman has been for ten years, throw, out his line and comes home at night, his face seining and his basket full. I do not know why we ministers of the Gospel need always; be fishing in the same stream, and preaching-f rom the same-text that other people preach from. I can not

understand the policy of the minister who, in Blackfriars, London, England, every week for thirty years, preached .from vtue Epistle to: the Hebrews. " 1 .It is an exhilaration to me when 1 come across a theme which I feet no one else has treated, and my text is one of that kind. f There are patlis in Gods Word that are well beaten by

Christian feet. . When men , want to quote Scripture, they , quote the old passages that every one has heard. When they want a chapter read, they read a chapter that all the other people have' been ; reading, so that the church to-day is ignorant of threefourths of the Bible. You go into the Louvre at Paris. Tou confine yourself to one corridor of ;that opulent gallery of paintings. As you come out your friend says to you: "Did you see that

Rembrandt?" "No." "Did you see that

Rubens?'1 "No." tDid; you see that Titian?"; 'No." "Did you see that

rphael?" "Nq.- "Wellf says your frienufi "then you didn't, see the Louvre." Now, my friends, I think

we are6 too much apt to confine our

selves to one of the jjreat corridors of

this Scripture truth, and so much so

that there is not one- person but of a

million who has ever noticed the all

suggestive and powerful picture in the words of my text This text' represente God as a strong swimmer, strik

ing out to push down, iniquity and

save the souls of men. 1 He shall spread

fbrth His hands in the midst of them, as he ( that swimmeth .spreadeth forth his hands to swim.,r The figure is bold and many sidedl Most of. you know how to swim; "Some of you learned it in the city school, where this art is taught; some of you in boy

hood, in the river near your father's house; some of you since you came to

manhood or womanhood, while -summering on the beach of the sea. You

step down in the wave, you throw

your head back, you bring your elbows

to-the chest, you put the palms of your hands downward and the soles of your feet outward, and you push through

the water as though you had been born

aquatic. It is a grand thing to know

how to swim, not only for yourself, but because you will after a while perhaps

have; tjo help others. ; ,

la order to imderstand the full force

of this figure you nqed to realize, first

of all, that our race , is in a sinking

condition, You sometimes hear people

talking of what they consider the most

beautiful words in Our -language, One

man says it is 'home, " another . man says it is the word mother;" another says it is the word Jesus," but I will tell you theibitterest word in all- our language, the word most angry and baleful, theVword saturated with the most troubled the word that accounts for all the loathsomeness . and the pang; and -the outrage, and the harrowing; and that word is 4sin;" You spell it with: three letters, and yet those three letters1 describe the circumference and pierce the diameter of everything bad in the universe. Sin! it is - a sibilant word. You can not

pronounce it witnout giving tne siss

of the flame or the hiss of the serpent Sinf And then if you add three letters to that word -it describes every one of us by-nature sinner. We have outraged the law of God, not occasionally or now and then, but prepetually. The Bible declares it. Hark! It thunders two clapsr 4Thev heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.", The soul that sinneth, it shall die;" - What the- Bible says our own conscience affirms. After Judge Morgan bad sentenced Lady Jane Gray to. death his conscience troubled hinvsoAnuch for the deed that he became insane, and all thrgggh his insanir heV kept saying: "Take her away1 frdn me! Lady Jane Gray! Take' heir away! Lady Jane- Gray. " It was the voice of his conscience. And no man never doe? anything wrong- however great or small but

"his' conscience brings that mattertbe-

fbre Mmi and at every step of his misbehavior it says: 'Wrong, wrong." Sin is a leprosy? sin is a paralysis, sin is a consumption, sin is a pollution, sin is death. Giye it a fair chance and it will" 'swamp you, . body, mind and soul forever. In this world t "only . gives a faint initnation of itj virulence.

has been six weeks under it, and all his energies have been wrung ou and he. is5 too; weak to lift bis little finger, and his intellect is gone, then you see the full havoc of the disease. Now, sin in thisworld is an ailment " which is bqly in its very first stages ; but 1 et it get under full-way and it is art allconsunung typhoid.' OK, if we could see our-unpardoned sins as God sees

rthem our teeth would chatters and our

knee wuld- knock together, and our

respiration-would be chocked, and our heart would break. If your sins are unforgotton they are breaking down oh you, and you are sinking sinl.ng awa: -from ,. happiness, sinking ' away from?: God, sinking away from everything that'is good and blessed. r You have noticed that when a swim merJ goes out: to rescue any one he 'puts off his heavy apparel. He must not have any such impediment about him if he is going to do this great deed. And when Christ stepped forth to saye us He shook off the sandals jDf heaven,

the spear stab in His side aye, it

dashed to the lacerated temple, the

high water-mark of His anguish.

If you ever have watched a swim

mer, you notice that his whole body is brought into play. The arms are fleshed, the hands drive the

water back, the knees are active, the head is .thrown back to escapo strangu

lation, the whole body is in propulsion.

And when Christ 'sprang- into the deep

to save us, Ho threw His entire nature

into it rail His Godhead, His omniscience. His iroodnesB. His love, His

omnipotencehead, heart, dyes, hands,

feet. We wore far out in the sea, and

so deep down in the waves and so far

out from the shore that nothing short

of an entire God could save us. . Christ leaped out for our rescue,

saying: "Lo! I come to do Thy will,"

and all the surges of human and Satanic hate beat aerainst Him. and those

who watched Him from the gates of heaven feared He would go down un

der tho wave, and instead of saving

others would Himself perish: but, put

ting His breast to the foam, and shak-

inr the surf, from His locks. He came

on and on, until He is now within the reach of overv one here. Eve omnis-

. r- .v . .. cient, hoart infinite, arm omnipotent

Mighty to save, even unto the uttermost. Oh. it was not half a God that

trampled down bellowing Gennesaret. It was not a quarter of a God that mastered the demons of Gadara. .It was not two-thirds of a God that lifted up

Lazarus into the arms of the overjoyed

sisters. 1 1 was n ot a fragment of a

(xod who offered pardon and peace to

all the race. No. This mighty swim

mer threw His grandeur. His glory, His might, His wisdom, His omnipo

tence and His eternity into this one

act It took both hands of God to save usboth feet. ' How do I prove it? On the cross, were not both hands

nailed? On the cross, were not both feet nailed? His entire nature in

volved in our redemption!

If you have lived much by the water

you . notice also that if any one is going put to the rescue of the drowning he must be independent,, self-reliant; able to go alone. . ' .There may be a time when he must spring out to save one, and he can not get a life-boat, and he goes out and has not strength enough to' bear himself up, and bear another up, he will sink, and instead of dragging one corpse out of the .torrent you will have two to drag out.' When Christ sprang out into the sea to deliver us He had no life-buoy. His Father did not help Him. Alone in the wine-press. Alone in the pang. Alone in the darkness. Alone in the mountain. Alone in the sea. Oh, if He saves us He shall have all the credit, for "there was none to help." No oar. No wing. No ladder. When Nathaniel Lyon fell in the battle charge in front of His troops he had a whole army to cheer him. When Marshal Nay sprang into the contest and plunged in the spurs till he horse's flanks spurted blood, all France applauded him. But Jesus alone.! "Of

the people there was none to help."

1 A11 forsook Him and fled. " O, it was not a flotilla . that sailed , down and saved us. It was not a cluster of gondolas that came over the wave. It

was one person, independent and alone. . Behold then to-day the spectacle of a drowning soul and Christ the swimmer. I believe it was in 1848, when there were six English soldiers of the Fiftn Fuseliers who: were hanging to the bottom of a capsized boat a boat that had been upset by a squall three miles from sh ore It was in the night, but one man swam mightily for the beach, guided by the dark mountains that lifted their tops through the night He came to the boacji. , He found a shoreman who consented to go with him and save the, other men, and they

put out. It was some time before they

could find the place' where the men;

were, but aite;? awnue tney neara tneir

cr$r.Help! 'bolp!11 and they bore down to them, and they saved them, . and brought them to shore. Oh, that this moment our cry might be lifted long, loud and shrill, till Christ the swimmer come and take us lest we drop a thousand fathoms down. If you have been much by water you know very- well that when one is in peril help must come very quickly, or it will-be of no use. One minute may decide everything. Immediate help the man wants, or no help at all. Now, that is just the kind of a relief we want. The case is urgent, imminent, instantaneous. See that soul sinking! Son of God, lay hold of him. Be quick!

be quick! Oh, I wish you all under

stood how urgent this Gospel is. I want to persuade you to lay hold of this strong swimmer. "No, " you say, . it is always disastrous for a drowning man to laj hold of a swimmer.11 There is not a river or lake but has a calamity resuitant from the

fact that when a strong swimmer wont

out to save a sinkingman, the drowning man clutched him, threw his arms around him, pinioned his arms, and they both went down together. When you are saving aman" in the water, you do not want to come up by his face you want to come up by his back. You do not want him to take hold of you while you take, hold of him. But, blessed1 be God, Jesus Christ is so strong a swimmer, He comes not to pur back, but to our face, and He asks us to throw around Him the arms of our love, and. then promises to take us to the beach, and He will do it. Do not trust tftat plank of good works; do not trust that shivered spar of your own righteousness. Christ only can give you transportation. Turn your face upon Him as the dying martyr did in olden days when he cried out: 'None but Christ! none but Christ!" Jesus has taken millions to the land and He is willing to take you there. Oh, what hardness of . heart to shove Him back when He has been swimming all the way from the throne of God to where you are now, and is ready to swim all the way back again, taking your, redeemed spirit. I have sometimes . thought what a spectacle the ocean bed' will present when in the last day the water is all drawn off. It will bei line of wrecks from beach to beach. ' There is where the harpooners went down ; there is 'where the line of battle ships went down; there is where the merchantmen went down; there js where the steamers went down,

along line of wrecks from beach to

beach. What a spectacle in the last day when the water istdrawn off! But, obi how much muse solemn if we had an eye to see tfie spiritual- wrecks and the places where they foundered. You would rind thousands along our roads and streets. Christ came down in their awful catastrophe, putting out for their souls, 'spreading forth His hands as a. Bwfmm&r spreadeth forth his hands to swim;" but they thrust Him in the sore heart, and they smottSHis fair cheek, and. the storm and darkness swallowed them ujjfe? I ask you to lay hold of this Chiist, and lay hold of Him now ;You will sink without Him. From horizon to horizon not one sail in sight May the -living Christ this

hour, put out for you r safety, spread

Extracts from a Powerful Speech tiy Thos R, Cobb, at Bloomfield. Iudianapolis Sentinel.

Tne lion, l nomas it, uooo was

introduced and spoke for about forty

minutes. He delivered a very logical

address which was well received. He

said:

"You know my views upon the

great political questions of the day

We are in the midst of peace yet not

so prosperous as we would liko to do

We have no political excitement now,

yet you have turned out in great, num

bers to-day for the purpose of quietly

listening to such arirumonts as may bo

presented! You have como hero from

the lull-tons and the valleys have

como with minds open and ready to receive arguments with reference to

the future of your country and with reference to those things which may

benefit you I want no office and hope

T novor shall. I intend to pursue the

even tenor of my way now as a private citizen. I have studied with

great care and thoroughness those

questions that are of interest to you

and to me, and am here to talk plainly

and truthfully concerning them-

'Donley the tariff is the greatest ouestion that arises for the considera-

7 tion of the American people. We have

witnessed its operations and have seen that by it the poor man has been made

poorer and the rich man richer. We were told by Republican politicians

and stump speakers last fall that in

case the Republican party- and I al

lude to it in no partisan sense was

advanced to power in the nation much

rrAnrl wnnlfl fnilnw. Tffmv. one Hn.rri-

f i

son of our State was elected President.

Has it brought about prosperity or n

crease in wages? Thev uttered the

direful prophecy that, in case of Gro-

ver Cleveland's election, depression in

business and hard times would be the

result. From the mouth of every Re

publican speaker came the promise of

unbounded' nrosnentv. in the event of

a victory for Republicanism. Have

the promises been carried out? I ask

every intelligent man within hearing

of my voice if those promises have

been held sacred? My friends, in my

judgment, the fact that; the Republi

can party succeeded in electing Gen.

Harrison, who was known to be a high-

protectionist, was a signal that wages

were to be lowered and that the prices of

your farm products were to be re

duced, And such has been the result.

Do you now believe that the demagog

ical orator who mouthed in behalf of

Reoublicanism last fall told you the

truth? Don't you know they deceived you? You expected to profit by the results of Republican - legislation, but you have not done so. The Carnegies down East lied to you, They said the price-of wages would go up, but you have already heard that the wages of the Carnegie employes have been reduced, and that they are now protesting by means of a strike. This tariff is one of the main causes." "My friends, God made this country, and He made you and me. He intended in His divine wisdom that you and I should be free to enjoy all the profits of our labor, save enough to economically administer our Government. When I have rendered tribute unto Caesar then I shall render tribute to ray fellow-man. The- tribute unto Caesar shall be the accessary tax for Caesar's government, and the tribute that I owe my fellow-man is equality of rights. It is an outrage that a tax should be levied upon you to make me rich. It lakes time to effect a reform, but already more than twenty-four years have elapsed since this tariff -was first put in operation. The consequence has been that it has torn from you each year a certain portion of your earnings and put them into the pockets of those who deserve them not. Such is a violation of God's laws and a violation of true political economy. The main 'argument for the tariff is that it is a blessingit makes thijffes cheaper. This is the veriest nonsense. With equal absurdity Republicans claim -that every thing which is good comes from their legislation. They claim or would setim to that every invention due to mechanical genius and by which certain things have been cheapened, is a result of the4ariff." Here the speaker gave a resume of the inventions of the country, and explained that they were due not to the tariff, but to the handiwork of skillful artisans. ' :" Mr. Cobb closed with a pointed and lucid explanation of the working and the nefarious results of the present tariff system. Judge Robinson, of Owen county, followed Mr. Cobb, and, having explained the fact that "he was nothing but a scalawag of a' lawyer," said: 'Looking into the faces of so many farmers, it occurs to me that this must he principally a farmers' meeting, I shall not detain you long, but wish to say at least, how-do-do. I am glad to enjoy this most excellent political speech to which you have listen ed.7 What a happy thought to call together these people to take council for mutual benefit. 'Th heat of the campaign is passed. Our passions are fled. The smokevbf the battle is gone. Republicans ask well as Democrats have the right to as the question, what has this all been ijrorft to .us? We fought in this great political campaigur Wo marched under the banner. Wo shouted long ant loud for Harrison and protection. We carried high tho old Republican standard. Wo won the fiercely fought battle. What has it been worth to us? What has it been worth to me and to you? and you? and you? By it has my wife been better clothed or 1115' children better clad and fed? Am I taxed with

fewer hours of labor? Are the

sanes of life cheaper

to roe?

necesIs the

market for the products of my labor rendered better? It is the great law of labor since the early dawn of the world -by the sweat of thy face , thou shalt eat bread.' Does this great, taw rest more easily upon my shoulders today than before Harrison's advent into office? "Every workingmun in the country to-day has occasion to ask those questions. If he goes to the store to buy the necessaries o'f life he gets the. answer that not one iota are prices decreased. If he goes to his employer to get the fruits of his labor he finds that not one penny is his wages, in-

creasea. 11 no taices ne pruwuvn

his farm to market he must sell it at the same-old price. All around the fact confronts him that in flo earlSbly way has his condition been "totteredIn fact, the prices prevailing for hh' labor and his product he finds to bo lower almost than ever within his- recollection. . The Republican party boasted that in the alchemy of its

polities it had discovered some mysterious something whereby you who labor should obtain wealth without wiL But to-day the falsity of that boast is very apparent. We still have to work, still have to toil for the bread we eat. They point to the products of human toil to the products of human industry, to the accomplishments of master minds to schools and colleges and public structures of Surpassing magnificence, and tell you. if they tell you the truth, that your father and your brothers and you have been made to slave until your farms are wasted and you are ready to die. They have made you do this tq, pa$ for these. The Republican party owes much of its success to the word 'protection.' In want, in trouble, or in danger, what word is sweeter to our ears than 'protection?1 But the word has been so prostituted that half its beneficence is lost. 1 'We were beaten last fall but not by the popular voice. We followed a leader the like of whom for political honor and ability modern history does not mention. Grover Cleveland, the choice of the people; the man who today is the first in the hearts of his countrymen; a man by the side of whom his Opponent sinks into insignificance. We fought a hard battle for a just and liberty-loving principle. And I would rather follow such a leader in such a cause to complete political annihilation than to ride to a thousand years of political supremacy with the principle that triumphed last fall;"

house whenever he desired it. This weut

on for two years. It is tho second escapade

A Story of St Valentine s Day,

- CHAPTER L ; It is very distressing" John, excuse, her as you will; but beyond dancing and ridiiag I yerily believe Nell has not a. single thought." V '-- "KeVer mind; Mary; she4 woh dis

tress you long. She is far prettier than any of Jier sisters ; she'll marry booh. Wo have more cause than most parents to be grateful to matrimony, not only on our own account, but on our girls--it has taken them all off our hands. Seven marriageable daugh-. ters were an embarrassing stock-in-trade." . .-"Nell wih all her frivolity, will be difficult to please, John; but, if she ever loves, it will be forever. Somehow I dread the future for Nell," Mrs. Thanet paused, and then continued with a sigh- Do you still intend Eandall for the medical profession?" 4 Yes ; we have discussed that subject Mary, till there is nothing left to say. My mind is made up. ' Besides, Randall has given in; I knew lie would, for, as I have said over and oyer again, tho boy has no special bent but he knows a good deal about natural history. Believe me, he is more suited to the, medical profession than any other, though I dare say he will never rise above mediocrity in it, nor indeed would he in . any calling requiring in(3pence of thought or. actions" . ' "Which, above all others, the medical profession does. Your Judgment is at fault John-" "Not at all. There are certiiin lines laid down, and, if he keeps to them, heUi do he has brains enough to get through the examinations, and that's all we need care about it. " u Mrs. Thanet sighed; but she was a wise woman, so wasted no more words. At that moment the door was rather brusquely opened, and a young girl came hastily into the room. "Oh, mamma," she cried, "the Hammonds are getting up a picnic to Hart's Hill, and they want us all to join. vIt is to be . on Thursday -t next week." . .

"Next week I shall be at Warminster, Neil," answered her, mother. 'Poor Gussy's baby is ill. I don't think you can very well go without me. The Hammonds are not at all select in their choice of acquaintances." "Well, I do think it hard!" pouted Neil. If ever there is a special' party a sister or a baby is certain to turn up, and I am left to shift for myself." "You are too giddy, Nell, and a picnic is a very free-and-easy sort of affair." ' 'But you forget, mamma, " urged

Nell: "Randall, can act as my eseort

A pic-nic is not like a balll" Mrs. Thanet smiled; ; she was an indulgent mother, if a little anxious. "You can go, dear," she said, "if Mrs. Masters11 referring to a matronly friend "will be responsible for you. She is sure to be of the party; the Hammonds are never out of her house." v' . . And so it was settled. Neil went to the pic-nic, duly credited by the bland Mrs. Masters, as well as by her twin brother Randall, between whom and herself there existed a marked resemblance. Both were dark of hair and pale of cheek, both had eyes of the deepest darkest hue but, while Randall's on close scrutiny revealed the soft rich tint of the violet, Nell's showed the strange rare iridescence of the hazel,, suggestive, of power and soul. Their. very Vvoiees, when low pitched, had the same tone, and their smiles displayed the same pearly teeth, in both slightly inclined to be prominent; but, while the smiles on one face were somewhat melancholy and infrequent, on the other. they were bright as sunbeams. ... . , V To-dav, on Nell's fair face,' the sun?

beams were everywhere now the eyes had them, anon the lips, which quiver

ed as quivers water touched by a dart

ing ray, and, when eyes and lips were

still, the lovely countenance seemed to

scintillate with radiance from within,

for by her side was the one man whom

.n all the wide world she was destined to love for ever. Youth, and beauty

were his too. .They, seemeu a pair

well matched, as many said; but the love which had entered Nell's-- souljrto bo a part of her very being, had only touched the surface of Lyon Leslie's

heart. ,. He believed himself to be in love; so he had done on many previous occasions. But this, time he seemed to have been rather, hard hit. If the truth were told, he was more, than 'a little uncomfortable, and in very sober moments congratulated himself that, being a soldier, he could command escape if the symptoms became dangerous. , Matrimony never entered his thoughts at least, not marriage with a dower less girlof no particular "family. He had a pretty exalted idea of

his own worth, social and personal

and his figure1 was high. ' v

JN.eu haa no tnoughts 01 ner own worth from either of those appraising points of view.- ' She also had no thoughts, in the common sense of the word, of inarriage; she only felt she lovod, and believed shev was loved in return; ., . 1 ,-.' -. -"They hud been speaking of Randall, a subject on which Nell always waxed eloquent. . , - ... ' What is your bithetgping to be?" aekod.Lyon. ' ' . , "Oh; a doctor! but he dber't like the Idea." ., . "Than whoever makes him become one will be responsible for manslaughter, some day." : . r.

and blushed more deeply.

"Romance;" he 6aid, finishing the word for her, and , pitching,- h6R eloquent face. . ' "V'1 V ' She lifted her head quickly, and again met his gaze. He drew a decanter towards him, then lifted a glass and whispered softly- j "Drink to me only with thine' eyes J'. ; v -And I will pledge with mine; M z $k, Or leave a kiss but in the cup, ;t"-.T k: : And PU not look tor wine ; A JBfer deep hazel eyes literally, glowed with fire as they for one brief moment seemed to blend with his. His kindled cheek flushed, he leaned forward and touched her hand; tlienpale as avlilyv she rose and strolled as in a dream into the dell.; He feUtiwed; ; " Wild flowers clustered at their feet, the dog-rose and woodbine arched their heads. " In shady hooks the violet thronged, filling tile still air with perfume, and on grassy mounds wss grouped the fragrant lily of the valley. Threading its way with a scarcelyheard murmur, was a tiny stream, filled to the. very brink with clear limpidwater, fed by a well-less spring that in the- droughiest summer - never

iried up; it fiowedr oh its even way to the, great , placid lake outside the confines of the valley. - The banks of the silvery rivulet were fringed with ferns, for-get-me-nots, and flag lillies. . Nell bent "by ite side and threw blossoms in. With: his" hands full of for-get-me-nots Lyon Leslie stood watching her. ' . ."""f '. . ' ,., t Shall we try our fate, Nell ? " he

whispered, giving her as he spoke somee

of the flowers he held.1 She took them, and again their eyes met. " There was no one nigh, no sound but the quiet naurmer' of the stream, and now and again the broken song of some bird1 retuuning to its matel No loud carol ever pierced the -dell, only snatches of tender melodies. A subdued halo was over all, and the very sunbeams stole in with mellowed light. ... As the flowers were passed! to her her hand touched Lyon's, and she trembled. His arm stole round her, and she made no adverse - movement. His spell love's spell was on her. Then their lips met in one long silent kiss and the flowers fell to- their feet? , The strains of music came from a distance. r L-w. , "They are going to dance,11 she whispered. , " Lotus go .round by the lake." Still encircling her; with his arm,- he obeyed. Her spell too. was on him, and he weighed the words she whispered. There was not One to bind him to her. ;. '.. , She did not miss such wordsi She . hardly heard those he spoke ; all that entered her soul was the deep rich tone Of his voice, the. glowing fire of his eyes. In her heart of hearts she believed that in that supreme hour their spirits had mingled in an indissoluble union, and that what must follow' to join their hands wae but the required

conformance to the word's rules. k

As they neared the lake, the stream

broadened ; it hardly seemed to move.

The trees had grown sparse, and the

sunshine was strong and full:

v She stooped and plucked two sprays

Of for-get-me-nots. ;;.

... "Let us put each other to the test,11

she said, giving 'him one. - Throw

with me and see if we reach the lake

together, Whoever fails is false.11 And she laughed in merry defiance of

such a possibility, t the same moment

casting her venture. .He did the same.

Then, hand in hand they followed

the frail dies, . whi5h slowly ; bore onwards, his in advance of her'si Insensibly Lyon's spray wore toward the bank; from which, as the stream neared the lake, tile fronds of the fern grew

taller and stronger, and now, pushed forward by the thick growing herbage behind, were bent over and touched the -water. But straight,, unswerving as the clear, water itself , Nell's spray sailed on, , It was in advance now' You aretired oi! me," she whisper'ed. ;,-.viv;,:...v.'. . ;. .... Heanswered hers . with his eyes, and shenvas content As the ' rivulet ad vanced to its source it widened and its waters became troubled. The lazy lapping of the lake, oo, " against the shore changed at that point to tremulous agitation,' and then, with ceaseless quiver, and now and again an impotent dash, as if in protest and warning, received into its quiet bosom the little tributary from the valley.. .1 But, as the;1 waters touched each other Nell's spray rose : above the troubled surface, and, carried by an impetuous wavelet, lay still and fair, beyond Jhe margin of the lakek''v .r'..,;.C"-' ' -t." But Nell was nbt looking at the.
