"1 wouldn't go off an leave ye now, as things be with ye," said Jim; but you see we Deed money; an' then I've shipped, and the old man's got my word. I'm stout to work aboard ship, an' he knows it, the csp'n does. 'The old bishop warned me against the cap'n ; he said if t'wan't for him I'd be master o' a better vessel myself. He works me hard an keeps me under. I do believe the bishop's right about him, and I'd kept clear from drink often if t'wan't for the old man." "You've kap' youself under," said honest Marty. "Nobody ain't master over you when it comes- to; that. You've got to set your mind right against drink an' the cap'n, Jim." "It's so hot in them islands,", Jim explained. "You get spent, and have to work right through everything; but I give you my honest word I'll bring you home my pay this trip." At which promise the little woman gave a pleaeed sigh, and moved her head as. if , for sheer comfort. She tried to think whether there was anything elee she could have done to the poor clothes in his battered sea -chest, then she fell asleep. When she waked in the morning Jim had laid her on the. bed like a child, and spread an old shawl over her, and had gone. At high tide in the early morning the schooner Dawn of Day had come up from the saw -mill wharf with a tug, and sent a boat ashore for Jim. Marty had never missed him as she did that morning; she had never felt so suee of his loving her, and had waked thinking to find herself still in his arms as she had fallen asleep. There stood the empty cheir.by the window ; and through the window, over beyond the marshes, she could see the gray sails of the schooner standing out to sea. Oh, Jim I Jim! and their little child was orying in the crib, like a hungry bird in the nest --the poor little tellow-and calling Ms father with pleading confidence. Jim liked the brave lad. When he was sober he always dressed up on Sundays and took little Jim and his woman for a walk. Sometimes they went to the old' Spanish burying ground, and Jim need to put the baby on his grandfather' e great tombstone, built strong over his grave like a little house, and pick the moss from the epitaph with his great sea jack-knife. His mother had paid for the tomb. She was laid at one side of it, but Jim had never built any tomb for her. He meant to do it, some time, and Marty alwaya picked some flowers and green sprigs and laid them on the grave with 'Ile bits of crumbling coquina at the head and foot. In epite of a pain at her heart; and G foreboding that Jim,would never come back from this uuwilling voyage, the little wo- man went up the lane boldly that late morn- ing after he sailed • she no longer feared the mocking -smile and salutation of the neigh. bor in the balcony. She went to her work cheerfully, and sang over it one of her Moody and Sankey hymns. She made a pleasure for the other women who were washing too,. with her song and her cheerful face. She was such it little wpman that she had a box to stand on while She washed,but there never was such a brisk little creature to work. Somehow everything prospered in the next two months until the new baby came. Some young women hired all her spare rooms, and paid wellfor their lodging, be- sides being compassionate and ready to give a little lift with the housework when they had the time. Marty had never laid by so much money before, and often spoke with pride of her handsome husband to the lodg- ers, who had never seen him; they were girls from the north, and one of them had once worked in a canning factory. One day Marty wrote to her own old friend, and asked her to come down by the steamer to Savannaheand then the rest of the way by rail to make her a long visit. There was .plenty of hotel work in the town; her lodgers themselves got good wages on George street. Jim was not skilled with his pen; he never wrote to her when he went away, but ever since they were marri- ed.Marty always had a dream one or the nights while he was gone, in which she saw the schooner's white sails against a blue sky and Jim himself walking the deck to and fro, holding his head -high, as he did when he was pleased. , o She always paw the Dawn of Day coming safe into harbor in this dream ; but one day she thought, with a sudden chill, that for this :voyage the = good omen was lacking. Jim had taken the lucky shell along, at any rate she could not find it. after he went away; that was a little thing, to be sure, but it gave some comfort, until one morn- ing, in shaking and brushing the old chair by the seaward window, out dropped the smooth white shell. The luck had staid with her instead of going with poor Jim, and the time was drawing near for hia return. Thenew baby was a dear little girl; she knew that Jim wanted -a girl beby, and now, with the girl baby in her arms, she began her weary watch for white sails beyond the marshes, The winter days dawned with blue skies and white clouds sailing over; the town be- gan to fill with strangers. '• As she got atrong enough there was plenty of work waiting for her. The two babies were a great deal too larg and .heavy for their little mother to tend; they seemed to take after Jim in size, and to grow apace, andsMarty took the proud step of hiring help. There was a quiet little col- ored girl, an efficient midget of a creature, who bad minded babies for a white woman in Beya Lane, and was not without sage ex- perience. Marty had bought a perambulator the year before from a woman at one of the boarding-houses, who did not care to carry it north. When she left the hired help in charge that first morning, and hurried away to her own work, the neighbor of the blue balcony stood in her lower doorway and bade her a polite good -morning. Bat Jim's little woman's eyes glittered with strange light as she hurled on in the shadow of the high wall, where , the orange boughs hung over, and beyond these, greatbranches laden with golden clusters of ripening 10 - quote. She had not looked out of the sea- ward window, as she always liked to do be- fore she left the house, and she was sorry, but there was no time to go hack. The old city of St. Augustine had never been more picturesque and full ef color than it was that rnorning.4 Its narrow thorough- fares, with the wide, overhanging upper balconies that shaded them, were busy and gay, strangers strolled -along, etopping in groups before the open fronts of the fruit shops, or were detained by eager vendors of flowers and orange -wood lwalking-sticks. There were shining shop windows full of photographs and trinkets Of pink shell -work and palmetto. There Were pink feather fans, and birds in cages, and strange shapes and colors of flowere and freitin and stuffed alligators. The narrow street was full of laughter and the sound of voices, Lumbel 'me car- riages clattered along the palmetto pave- ment, and boys and men rode by on quick, wild little horses as if for dear life, and to the frequent peril_ of, personii on foot. Some- times the small dun or oream-oolored marsh tackeys needed only it cropped mane, to prove their suspected descent from the little steed e of the Northmen, or their cousinehip to those of the Greek friezes; they were, indeed, a part of the pictureactueness orthe city. The high gray towers of the beautiful Ponce de Leon hotel, with their pointed.red roofs, were crowned with Ornaments like the berries of the chinaberry trees, and Marty - THE HURON EXPOSITOR.

The great bell o the old c thedral had struck twelve, and as Marty e tared the plaza,busy little soul t at she was, and in a hurry as usual, she e opped, full of a never outgrown Northern 'w nder at th foreign sights and e ounds-th tall pali ettoes ; the • riders 'pith their linking emu s ; the gay strang- ere; the th ee Sisters of St. Joseph, in their quaint garb of black and white, who came soberly fro their parigi school close by.

Why had she not looked tha way before? There at the pier were the t 11 masts an the bleak and green hull of the Dawn of D y.

There was a dro e of music i side; she heard it and lost i ; then it ca e again as her faint- nesenl, pause , and she ra like a child down the street. Her,hat blew off and she caught • it with on hand, but did not atop to pat it on again. The long pier g wuapsobvlearctknewsiiathe people do n at the en next the schooner, and they were swar in and fro the deck. There were red and white par sole from th hotel in the middle of thecro d, and a ge eral hurry and ex• oitement. Everybody but Marty seemed to have kno n hours bef re that the schooner was in. Perhaps shle ought to go home first; Jic might be t ere. Now she could see the petty Jamaic baskets heaped on the top o the cabin, a d the shining colors of shell;, and greet. plumes-. of sprouted cocoa -nu a for plantin , and: the great white branohes and heads of coral; she could smell th ripe fruit in the hold, and caught sight of ome of the cr w. At la t she was on the gangway, and somebods on deck ew re a great oath under his breath. "Boy, he said in a loud whisper, "here's Jim's lit le woman !" nd two or three of them dr pped quickly between decks and down in o the hold r ther than face her. .When se came on bo rd there was nobody to be s en but the hard -faced cabin -boy whom s e had takee are of in a fever as they ca e down from Boothbay.

I ain't seen it my- self, but Jim Peet was the ' last ashore, an' he asked as if 'twee our Jim, an" they said 'twas. They'd sent word in the mornin' he was about gene, an' we might's well sail if we was ready." " Jim Peet saw his funeral," gasped the little woman. "He felt sure 'twat, Jim ?" " Yes'm. You come home along o' me; folks is lookin'," said the boy. "Come,now; I'll tell you some more goin' along." Marty came with him through the crowd; she held her hat in her hand, and she went feeling her way, as if she were blind, down the gangway plank. When they reached the shore and had gone a short distance, she turned, and told the lad that he neednot come any further; if he would bring his togs over before the schooner sailed she would mend them all up nice for him. Then she crept slowly along Bay street barehead- ed ; the sun on the water at the right blind- ed her it little. Sometimes she stopped -and leaned againet the fenceor a house front, and so at last she got home. It was mid- day, there was nota soul in the house, and Jim was dead. That night she dreamed of a blue sky and white sails, and Jim, with his head up, walking the deck, as he came into harbor. All the townsfolk who lived by the water- side and up and down the lanes, and many of the strangers at the hotels, heard of poor Marty's trouble. Her poorest neighbors were the first- to send a little purse that they had spared out of their small savings and earnings; then by-and-by some of the hotel people and those who were well to do In the:town made her presents of money and of clothes for the children; and even the spying neighbor of the balcony brought a cake and Some figreall she had on her tree, the night the news was known, and put them on the table, and was going away without a word, but Marty ran after her and kissed her, for the poor soul's husband had been lost at 80a, and so they could weep together. But after the dream everybody said that Marty was hurt in her mind by the shook. She could not ory for her own loss when she was told over and over abont her neighbor's man ; she only 'laid to everyone who came that they were very kind, and she was see- ing trouble, but she was sure that Jim would come back; she knew it by her dream. They must wait and see. She could not forge them to take their money back, and when she grew too tired and uustrung to plead about it any longer, she put it together in a little box, and hid it on a high cupboerd shelf in the chimney. There was a wonderful light of hope In her face in theee day.; she kept the little black girl to tend the two babies, and kept on with her Own work. Everyhody said that she was not quite right In her brain. .She was often pointed out to stringers in that spring season, a quaint figure, so smell, so wan, and battling against the world for her Secret certainty and hope. I Never a man a ,footstep came by the house at night that she did not rouse and start with her heart beating wildly; but one,two, three months went by, and still she was alone. Once she Went across the bay to the light -house island -babies, baby -carriage, the small hired help, and all -and took the railway that leads down to the south beach. 11 was a holiday, and she hoped that from that southern point she might look far sea- ward, and catchisight of the returning sails of the old schooner. She would not listen to her own warnings • that an had plenty;of ways of getting home • besides waiting for the Dawn of Day. Those who saw the little company -strike out across the sand to the beach laughed at the sight. The hired help pushed the empty perambulator with all the strength she could muster through the deep White sand, and over the huge green serpent4ike vines that wound among the low dunes. Marty car- ried the baby and tugged the little boy by the other band, and eat down at the edge of the beach all alone, while the children play- ed in the sand or were nushed to and fro. She Strained her eyes after eel's, but only it • bark was in eight to the northward beyond the bar, and a brigantine to the southward, and far beyond that was it schooner going steadily north, and it was not the Dawn of Day, All the time Jim's little woman kept say- ing to herself : ii I had the dream; I had the dream. Jim will come home." But as Ulla miserable holiday ended, and they left the great sand desert and the roar ,of the sea behind them, she felt a new dread make her heart heavier than ever it had been bo - fore; perhaps the dream wee mocking her, and he was dead indeed. 1 Then Marty ha&need o comfort. She believed that all long as she kept faith in her omen it would come true, and yet her faith slowly ebbed in spite of her. It was a cruel test, and she could not work as she used; she felt the sunemer heat as she never hail before. All her old associations with the cool northern sea -coast began to call her to come home. She wondered if it would not do to go north for a while and wait for Jim there. - • The old friend had written that next win- ter she would come down for the visit, and somehow Marty longed to get home for it while, and then they could come south to- gether; but at last she felt too tired and weak, and gave up the thought. If it were not for the children she could go to Jamaica and find out all about Jim. She had sent him more than one letter to Kingston, but no answer came. Perhaps she would wait now until next summer, and then go north with Lizzie. •.. In midsummer the streets are often empty at mid-day, and the old city seems deserted. Marty sometimes took the children and sat with them in the plaza, where it was shady. Often in the spring they all wandered up the white pavement of the street by the great hotel to see the gay Spanish flags and to hear the band play in the gardens Of the Ponce de Loon; but the band did not play any more. Marty used to tell the eldest of the children that when his father came home he would take him sailing in the bay, and the little fellow got a touching fashion of Wring every morning if his father was com- ingI tt hwaats ad ay 'sad summer -a sad summer. Marty knew that her neighbors thought her a little crazed ; at last she wondered if they were not right. She began to be homesick, and at last she had to give np work alto- gether. She hated the glare of the sun and the gay laughter of the black people; when she heard the sunset gun from the barracks it startled her terribly. She almost doubt- ed sometimes Whether she had really dream- ed the dream. One afternoon when the oars stopped at St. Augustine station, Marty was sitting in the old chair by the seaward window, look- ing out and thinking of her sorrow. There W&9 a vine about the window that flickered a pretty shadow over the floor in the morn- ing and it was dancing and waving in the light breeze that blows like a long soft breath, and then stops at sundown She saw noth- ing in the bay but a few small pleasure boats and there was nothing -beyond her. News had come some time before that the Dawn of Day had gone north again with pellow pine, and the few other schooners that now and then came to the port were away on the seinnobody keows where. They came in, as if they dropped out of the sky, as far as Marty was concerned. She thought about Jim as she sat there ; how good he was before he 'ailed that last time, and then had tried to keep his promise on board ship, according to the cabin boy's story. ' Somehow, Jim was like the moon to her at first; his Spanish blood and his Church gave an unknown side to his character that was always turned away ; but he shone fair always through his Northern traits, and of late she had known him as she never had before, She need to be too smart -spoken 1 LARD MUST CO. since COTTOLENE has come to take Its place.

"1 couldn't help being born red-headed." thought Mary, with a wistful smile, and then she was dreaming and doz- ing and fell fast asleep. The cars had stopped in the station, and among the strangers who got out was a very dark young man'with broad shoulders and uncommon height. He was smartly dressed in it eort of uniform, and looked about him with a familiar smile as he strolled among the idlers on the platform. Suddenly some body caught him by the hand, with a shout and there was an eager crowd about him in a minute. "Jin 1 Here's dead Jim V' cried some one, with a shrill laugh, and there was a great excitement. "No," said Jim, "1 ain't dead. What's the matter with you alt? I've been up North with the best yacht you ever sec; first we went cruisinf in the Gulf .b.n' over to Martinique. Why, my wife know'd I was goire. I had a fellow write her from Kingston, an' not to expect me till I come. I gave him G quarter to do it." " She thinks you're dead. No • other folks said so, and she won't. Word came by the schooner that you was dead in ;the hospit'l, of a Jamaica fever," somebodyjex- plained in a racket and chatter. "They always was a peck o' fools on that leaky old Dawn o' Day," said Jim, contemp- tuonsly, looking down the eteep, well - clothed precipice of himeelf to the platform. "1 don't sail with that `kind o' horse mar- ines any more." Then he thought of Marty with sudden intensity. " She never got his letter ?" He shouldered his great valise and strode away; there was something queer about his be- havior, nobody could keep up with his long steps and his quick runs, and away he went toward home. e Jim's steps grew eofker and slower as he went down the narrow lane; he saw the little house and its door wide open. The woman in the blue balcony gave a little scream, as if he were a ghost. The minute his foot touched the deep -worn coquina step Marty in her sleep heard it and opened her eyes. She had dreamed again at last of the blue sky and white sails; she opened her eyes to eee him standing there, with his bead up, in the door. Jim not dead ! not dead! but Jim looking sober, and dressed like a gentleman, come home at last ! That evening they walked up By street to King otreet, and round the plaza and home again through George street, making a royal progress, and being stopped by everybody. They told the story oven and over of its having been another sailor from a schooner, poor fellow, who had died in Kingston that day, alone in the • hospital. Jim himself had gone down to the gatea of death, and turned back. .There was it yacht in harbor that had loot a hand, and the owner saw handsome Jim on the pier, look- ing pale and unfriended, and took a liking to him, and found how well he knew the Gulf and the islands, so they etruck a bar- gain at once, They had cruised far south and then north again, and Jim only had leave to come home for a few days to bring away his little women and the children, because he was to keep with the yacht, and spend the summer cruising in northern waters, Marty had al- ways been wishing to make a. visit up in Maine where she came from. Jim fingered his bright .buttons and held his head higher than ever, as if he had been told that she felt proud to show him to her friends, He looked down at little Marty affectionately ; it was very queer about that dream and other pimple's saying he was dead. He must buy her a famous new rig before they started to go north; she looked worn out and shabby. It seemed all a miracle to Marty; but her dream was her dream, and she felt as tall as Jim himself as she remem- bered it. As they went home at sunset they met the bishop, who stopped before them and looked down at the little woman and then up at Jim. "So you're doing well now, my boy ?" he said, good-humoredly, to the great smiling fellow. "Ah, Jim, many's the prayer your pious mother said for you, and 1 inyeelf not a few. Come to church and be a Christian man for the sake of her. God bleu you, my children !" and the good man went his wise and kindly way, not knowing all their story either, but knowing well and compaseion- ately the sorrows and temptations of poor hutnanity. • It seemed to Marty as if she had had time to grow old since the night Jim went away and left her sleeping, but the long misery was quickly fading out of her mind now that he was safe at home again. In a few days more the yellow old coquina house was cerefully shut and looked for the summer, and they gave the key to the woman of the blue balcony. The morning that they started northward Marty caught a glimpse of the Dawn of Day corning in through the mist over the harbor bar. She wisely said nothing to Jim; she thought with apprehension of the =captain's usual revelry the night he came into port. She took a last look at the tall lighthouse, and remembered how it had companioned her with its -clear ray through many a 4:1ark and anxious night. Then she thought joy- fully how soon she should see the far -away spark on Monhegan, and the bright light of Seguin, and preeently the towers of St. Augustine were left out of sight behind the level country and the Southern pines. THE END, Matrimony. Married? Well, yee, and you' ee simple, my friend ; you have my sympath, . too ; No wonder you're looking do . ;-hearted and talking of feeling so blue : And I'll wager right now your suspenders are both of 'em tied with a string, And you envy the bluebirds and robins now seeking their mates in the spring, claim that a fellow is selfish who "flocks by him- self" all alone, And rents it back room in an attic, or lives In it pal- ace of stone, Where the niusie of children's sweet voices no echoes awake on the stairs; Who shares not the burden of others, knows naught of their sorrows and cares. Why, I'd rather go home in the twilight, after my day'rwork is done, And play with my girl and her dollies than have all your bachelor fun; For the laugh of 'my wee little woman still carries me back tothe days When I fished in the brook, and barefooted I tread- ed the forest's dim ways. And I'd rather sit down in the gleaming, when the angels are painting the skies, And watch the large light that grows tender, and buena in my darling's blue eyes, Than to go out alone to the theater, and sit through the grandest of plays That e'er came from the pen of the master that wrote In those far away days. There is trouble in life, that I grant you, but the burdens are lighter to bear When there'e some one that's watching and waiting, and willing to carry her share, And I tell you the love of ot woman eurpasseth the knowledge of men, And sefishnesb prompts the discomforts that's found in a bachelor's den. If women were selfish as you are, the world would be cold as a stone ; That sweet word would Imp all its meaning -that dearest of words they call home. And life would be searce'worth the living if poor love had nothing to give. As a bachelor you're but existing ; get married, and then you will live. SEPTEMBER 8 1893.
