Not for :long.. Throu h the early
evening two or three ro gh men pre-
ceded a dozen of the fijshing colony,
bearing a slight, dripping figure on an
improvised litter steadily.up the porch
and into the attic sitting Iroom, Beulah
walking beside it the la 't few steps,
and laying her band on th.e covered
head. At last;as the buijden was ten-
derly laid on the lonnge, d.nd the lamp
turned, the men fell baol, and Beulah
looked at the face of the ould-be
Silo almost exclaimed t the pallid,-.

_
THE
!marble beauty dieclosed-eit - was the
'face of an entire stranger. She ha,d•ex-
pected to see the familiar ifeatures of,
. some unhappy village' girl, but the
• large, sad blue eyes, the small, plead-
' ing mouth, the ,dripping masses of
yellowish hair had never met her gaze
before.
" One of you goifor Dr. Blake," said
the mistress of the cottage. "1 hard-
ly know what is to be done in such a
case."
The object of their solicitude moved,
• reached out a feeble hand, murmured
meekly, "No, no, please a0 not eeni.
for a doctor; I do uot Oeed-one."
She appeared so' distressed that Ben-
lah yielded..
"At all events, you must get dry
things on,
and have a bowl of hot tea
and someaVarm supper •, it's enough to
• give one their death to steel in your con-
,
aition,"
• And then, recollecting, that her pa.
tient had. been seeking death, Beulah
abruptly turned and dispersed the curi-
ous crowd still hanging about the place,
and then followed the servant and the
strange Woman intO the room prepared
forter.
"1• will not ask you what dreadful
strait you're in, my poor girl," said Beu
in her kindest vein, "to do so
desperate a thing ; but you can set
-.your mind at rest; you are with
'friends who will aseist you, if need be.
You have no reason to give way to such
grief. Your Wants Will be provided for.
You can return te your home with-
• out this fearful accident ever being
known."
The weeping girl , buried her face in
her hands.
"1 have no friends or home," she
sobbed.
•
"Well, then," returned Beulah,
"stay hero; there's always a place
for an industrious girl in my family."
"Alas I that also is impossible. You
cannht help me, lady. There is noth-
ing for me—no eseape from my trouble
but in death."
Beulah began to think of straight -
jackets and. escaped lunalics, but the
wild lights were missing in the blue
eyes; and only settled misery possessed
the sad fa.ce. I '
With soothing words and kindly
touch the good woman sought to com-
fort the stranger; the wet bright hair
was carefully pinned up, and Beulah
unfastened the clinging garments and
laid out .the dry' ones. Suddenly the
great sorrow which brought the stranger
to think of death flashed on the old
maid's intelligence.
"IYou poor young thing," she said
pitifully, " have you come far?"
"No, meidam,'not very."
"And you have no friends ?"
No, madam."
"But there is -that person who is
your husband—or should be—perhaps
you are a widow ?"
"_..No, no, only a wretched, deceived
woman. 'Oh, madam, do ,not ask my
wretched story. You are good, and
kind, aad rich. Shelter me for to-uight•
To -morrow I will go away. I Will nev-
er seek to take my life again, but bear
nay fate .without a Murmur."
The half -drowned girl sobbed as if her
heart would break. Beulah inwardly
determined that the acquaintance
shouldnot end thns'abruptly, and long
after the worn-out girl slept, she cogi-
tated a problem which was solved for
her before morning,

A Lesso.n in theLanguages.
"'Barney O'Brien, stand up," said the
judge, in his most severe tone. "Your
ease, Barney, is one of the Most out-
ratteous I ever had before me. You are
charged by your own wife with severely
beatiug her child—"
"It's me own child," said. Barney, in
a most shame -faced manner.
"That's all the worse for you, then
Barney—a man who willill-treat his

Barney ; have always borne a good
character, and your enwloyer speaks

Barney. " Yer see the mother of the

his education to her. • One day I was

• His honor smiled, and so did all In
the court room. Barney was discharged
with the advice to leave -the education
of his child to his wife, and -Mrs. Bar-
ney, a bright looking German, was ad-
monished and directed to devote a por-
tion of her time to teaching young
Barney "United States," and not
