THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
Sorth's step grew more elastic, her eyes
dearer and brighterand a faint tinge of
red stole into her pale cheek. The great
gates of Minim were closed, as the ho-

*lad through it the lady pissed without
hesitatien. The lodgekeeper's house
'via shut up, and had been for many
years, se there was none to fin bid her
entrance.
From the gates a winding avenue of
birch and pine led towards the house.
There wese signs of neglect and decay
here; rank grass and weeds and fallen
leaves lay thickly underfoot, and the
shrubs- growing between the trees stood
in sore need al pruning.
i7et it was beautiful—svildly, pictur-
esquely beautiful, though saddening to
the eyes
. -
Suddenly emerging from one of the
winding turns, the lady drew back a step
ana stoat' still, for the old grey house
was before her.
Elspet's' bonnie Dunire," she mur-
mured with quivering lips. " No won-

eyes grew weary in her last days for her
home—bonnie Dunire l"
She leaned up against one of the trees,
and Staod looking lovingly, yearningly
upon the lovely home where her fair and
gentle mother had spent her girlhood.
Suddenly an ominous cough, the
sound of an approaching foot caused her
to start and look roand, to find herself
face to face with an old man, of tall,
slender, stately figure—he having about
his shoulders the graceful draping of a
highland plaid, His thin locks, white
as the snow which in winter capped
lienvalloch, streamed out below his
broad, bonnet., giving him a strange,
wild, patheticappearance. His face
was withered, and bronzed with expo-
sure to the elements; but his blue eyes
Were as keen and bright, and piercing

Stop my friend ere floating farther
Down this life's uncertain stream ;
Think of those who went before you,
Where you are they once have been.
Clay cold lie their mouldering bodies
_ Deep within the silent tomb ;
Think not thou shalt bo excepted,
Nature's law has fixed thy doom.,
That great Deity, that Fountain
Whence sprigs life in every forme
In whose power we are as nothing
As the chaff before the storm.
He it was who first established
Nature's law for man and beast;
He it is who still enforces,
Yea, has done since time began. _
Immutable is Nature's law,
Unchangeable since Adam's fall, .
Our sires who toiled in former years ,
- Where are they now? Where are they ?
What joys and tears, what hopesand fears,
What sickly forms and forms robust,
:,What passioned men and meeker maids •
Lie coffined now in mortal dust.
Consider well the awful fact
That all things human have an end,
And on this everlasting change
All forms of earthly life depend.
In the spring the lily proudly blooms,
-Forth from its stem the tree -bud steals;
Gladly the grass her green assumes
The pride of life all nature feels.
But as sme as autumn follows spring
That lovely lily must decay ;
That leaf on high no longer cling,
That blade of grass must wilt away.

he said, leaning upon his trusty Stick,

if you, have found the balm you sought ?"
My health is improving every day,"
she answered quietly.
"And your mind."
"Is weary still," she said, and turned
her eyes to watch the ea.taract roaring
over its rocky steep.
"Perhaps you have lost one dear to
you, or perhaps the oak you leaned up -
nn bent and broke like a reed," he said,
his voice gentle as a woman's.
" I have lost all dear to me, sir," she
answered. But mine is not the gentle,
lingering regret with which we mourn
the dead. It is a living sorrow, for
which there is neither antidote nor sof-
tening this side of the gra.ve."
"Von astonish me, madam. You are
ynung, and what the world calls fair.
Your life is early over -shadowed," said
the old man, still compassionately.
" But I fear I intrude upon your sorrow.
I can sympathise, for I too have known
the bitter overthrow of every hope; I
have proved, with the poet's poor old
king, how sharper than a serpent's tooth
it is to have a thankless child. They
will have told you my story in the

P '
wild, fierce manner habitual to him.
Yes, they told me," answered the
lady softly.
"1 thought so. They gloat over it ;
they delight to tell how the pride of
Dunire was levelled at one blow, how
the honor of the OgilYies was brought
down to the very dust," he said fiercely.
"The very people who lived off my
bounty, who fed on my hands, have
turned me and my woe into a subject of
ribald jest and curiosity. They point to
me as the poor old man whose sorro‘k
has crazed him."
The lady rose, awed, alarmed almost,
by the shrill tones, the wild flashing of
his blue eyes, the upheaving of his.
breast, the quivering of every feature ia
his face.
"Oh, sir," she said, laying a gentle
hand on his trembling arm, " believe
me, yau rong them. who have
spoken to me of your sorrow, have done
so tenderly, gently, feeling for you even
as I do. As far as I have seen, your
people are as jealous of the honor of -
I hinire as you could be."
During her speech he never took his
eyes from her face, but when she ceased
he shook her hand off his arm.
"Take away your eyes. They are of
the past, they eat into my heart," he said
"They bid nse pray, they bid me
cherish a spirit of fergiveneas and
love. It is I who was wronged Did I
not cherish her, did I not love her so
that I would have died for her? and she
was a wicked, ungrateful girl—a wicked
ungrateful girl." Repeating the last
words to himself in low, muttering
tones, he turned about and hastened
away,his silver leeks flowing in the wind
and his tall figure held erect as if defying
some unseen foe.

A FATAL SENSE OF SECURITY AWFULLY
REALIZED AT SEA.
"A wet sheet and a flowing sea, a breeze that
follows fast."
From his look-ont the -faithful old
captain of yonder Merchantman casts an
uneasy glance at the distant horizon.
:See ! yonder a small speck of cloud "tie
larger than a man's hand." He watches
it with his piercina. eyes for a few mo-
ments, then reaches for his long eye-
glass. To his experienced view, this
harmless little cloud betokens danger.
Across his bronzed face there comes a
look of determination, and, with quick
orders to the seamen, the craft is put
about and all sail made for the nearest
harbor, where in apparent 'safety the
anchor is dropped, and the hardy mari-
ners watch the- approaching storm with
defiance?
The storm bursts !
The decks have been cleared, the sails
close furled, and all ordinary -prepara-

doctor who was one of the wisest and

health, wrote:
"The very marked testimonials from
college professors, respectable physic
ians, and other gentlemen of intelligence
and character, to the value of Warner's
safe cure, have greatly surprised me.
Many of these gentlemen I know, and,
reading their testimony, I was impelled
to purchase some bottles of Warner's

some, swallowing three times the pre-
scribed quantity. I am satisfied that

The Pearl.
- •
In an interview with a pearl fisher by
the Pall Mall Gazette, the following
facts about the industry are to be found:
"You will see " he said, "by these per-
forations in the back how many enemies
the pearl oyster has," pointing to the
'baek of the shell,which was much honey-
combed, "If they succeed in boring
clean to the flesh it is all up with the
oyster. The theory of the pearl is that
some foreign substance, a bit of grit or
shell, finds its way within the harness,
and the oyster, to avoid the irritating
friction,begins the process of pearl man-
ufacture by a peculiar. secretion. The
pearl is generally found in the beard. I
need not tell you that the shells are
highly valuable articles of commerce.
When the opener -has passed his hand in
to.feel for the pearl he throws it to the
cleaner, who does his work, the shells
are packed up in hogsheads, and when
they arrive in London they are sold by
auction in Mincing Lane to go to the
manufacturer, for the shell has taken
the place of ivory. The pearling season
lasts from March to the 'middle of De-
cember, for in the summer months the
hurricanes render this fishing impossible.
The plan of operations is something in
this wise. The fleet is distributed over
the fishing -grounds, and one or two of
them see to the supply of fresh water
and stores. 'The mother ship generally

Aunt Chloe's Opinion.
The following story is to1d of a Vir-
ginia gentleman,' rather advanced in
life, Who was abatit .t� be- united in mar-
riage to a lady very much his junior.
Going to Make her a visit just before
their. wedding, her old colored mammy
came courtesying into the parlor, eager
to Make the acquaintance of the future
lord and master of her young lady.
" Aunt Chloe," said the gentle-
man in question, after the preliinieary
greeting had_ beer gotten through with,
what do you think of Miss Lucy's
choice, now you've seen him ?"
". I likes, you mighty well, Mars'
John, fur as I've seen you," replied Aunt
Chloe, after a momeet's • deliberation;
" but you's too old for Miss Lucy."
, "Too old, Aunt Chloe !" exclaitned
the gentleman, somewhat discomfited by
Aunt Chloe's unexpected candor. "You
don't know what you're talking about"
(straightening hitnself up.) " Why, I'm
.just ist my prime."
Yes, sir, I sees you is," replied the
still unconvinced Aunt Chloe; "but
when Miss Lucy gits in her prime, whar
you gw-ine be de's?"
