ENGULPHED IN RUIN
' (I3y A Banker).
In a recent article of this series des-
cribing the beauties of the scenery in
the neighborhood of that ill-fated city,
Messina, attention was celled to the pub-
lished reports of the great earthquake
whit& had so hopelessly devastated that
deemed .region. An inspection of the
place proves that words have utterly
failed to give an- adequate idea of the
widespread havoe, and utter overthrow
of a great part of the beautiful eitY,
and of its opposite neighbor Reggio.
The ruin and appalling Wreck are al-
together indescribable. Here a fine
chureh of which all the existence left
of its existence is perhaps a portion of,
one of the walls; there the remains of
a large building, perhaps a noble's man-
sion, which appears as though 'some cy-
clopean giant had, with a mighty axe
cleft it in twain from roof to basement;
eeveral stories of 1100111S all exposed to
liew; some of the furniture left, some
hurled to the groond in the midst of
a crashing avalanche. of masonry and
bricks, and graat beams of timber, all
now piled up in inextriettlete confusion;
the end of a piano, or the legs of a table
'perhaps projecting from the great heap
of debris. And perhaps too, alas, be -
heath it all still lay the decaying corpses
of father, or mother, or child, hurled
-in a moment without a warning, with-
out premonitory not of alarm, into
eternity. •
And now, until the herculean and au-
geen task of clearing away all that de-
solation isaccomplished: that heterogen-
oils mass of masonry and broken furni-
ture, and woeful gravestone 'other than
perhaps a projecting broken column,
with no wreath or flowers to' decorate
the grave eXcept perhaps a few wild
flowers alretedy springing up, little
patches of 'beady in the midst of hor-
ror, of ravage, and of grim and piteous
'wreck.
-And so,•almost all along the coast -line
on,, both-sides.of the Straits is the same
gruesome picture; 'villages fornmrly pic-
.turesque and beautiful now almost
blotted out of existence; entire aistricts
shattered and annihilated; and much of,
that lovely and, attractive spot a melan-
choly and gruesoMe devastation. ,
Truly "in the midst of life we are in
death:" Happy they who, when the toc-
sin sounds warning them that for them
time is no more; have no fear of the
wrath to, come. For having livedthe
life of the righteous, and having cast
all their care on their Mediator and Save
• lour, who in Gethsemane and oti Calvary
expiated their sins by suffering the re-
tribution due, they are assured, with an
absolute .certainty, of a mansion , in
glory beyond the•skies.

richer, mellower, and more then all, hail
a strange power •cif sinking deep into,
the heart, and leaving .an echo there.
Lady Gertrude listened and. turned
pale. She could eppreeiate suelt a voice
uow as she could not have done before;
awl with a heart full of deeed, Wised
Up at the face of Lord Aubrey.
He had forgotten where he seas. In
imagination he had been transported to
the Castle, and. Was sitting in the twi-
light at his mother's knee, listening to
)4er ae she sang •an old country song,
which had always drawn sweet tears of
sympathy from his eyes.
.And the tears were in the stern blue
eyes uow, as they had not been in many
a year since. Never, even in his beloved
mother's voice, had he heard the belled
so sung: and his whole nature thrilled
under the spell,
He listened, heedless of who might
see, his face worleing and. his heart
throbbing, and his eyes fixed on the
beautiful girl, who all unconsciously had
evoked a charm which would help hien
more than aught else to return to him-
self as he had been in the old,' simple,
innocent days.
The song ceased, and before Lady Ger-
trude could think of a plan to prevent
him, Lord Aubrey, with a hurried word
of excuse, left her side and -hastened over
to where Erna sat, reeeiving the extrava-
gant praise of those who had thronged
about her.
"Let me add my thanks to theirs," he
said, as soon as he could make his way
to her side,
There seas.. an emotion in his tone
which was unutietakable, and, Erna turn-
ed quickly toward him and looked in his
faee, She saw that he was greatly
moyed, and she was puzzled, until with
a flash of memory it all came back to,
her, She hisa sung one of Ids mother's
old -songs.
"I had forgotten," she said, hastily,
"I found it one day, liked it, and learned
it."
She seemed to wish to apologize. He
cried eagerly es
"I am so glad. you did. It was one
of my mother's favorite songs'. Words
will not tell you how grateful I am."
Erna's impultie was to put out Itei hand
in her old frank fashion, and grasp his,
for his feeling was one she could ander-
stand and syinpathize with. Then he
remembered not only that it was not
good form to do such a thing, but also
that he hed once before frowned upon
her good -fellowship. A quick revulsion
of feeling came over her, and she an-
swered, with sudden coolness
"Yes, it le a pretty, rather silly little
thing. Was it 'Comm' TheTO' the Rye'
• you asked for, Captain Merriwether?
Very well, I will horrify ears polite with
anether ballad if you will permit me."
She turned to the piano again, and
the crowd about her melted away, Only
the marquis and Aubrey remained. She
knew he was there, and turned her 'bead

• bent over -her,
"Will you never forgive me?" he whis-
pered, wistfully,
• "Yes, perhaps," she flashed back.
°When -'1. am free from you."
"You shall be free to -morrow," he
answered, desperately, it seemink to him
that he svould do anything to stand well
with the wilful, imperious 'girl. "I will
speak to Lady Bentley. Will you accept
her in my place?"
"Yes; anybody," she replied.
"And shall we be friends then?" he
demanded.
"I cannot force my liking," was her
ungracious response.
"I will try to win it," he field,. and
walked away.
. CHAPTER XXL
Lord Aubrey was as good as his word
svith Erna. He left her and made his
way to Lady Roniley, who had been
watching him with uneagirress; for her
conclusions were gradually 'tending to a
belief that the earl and Erna were in
love with -each other Without knowing it.
He stood by the old lady's side until
tho last word of the saucy song was
sung, listening with ee. thrill of wonder
to the marvellous voice that seemed -to.
send his blood leaping quicker in his
veins.
• "She singe, well," he heard Lady
Itomley say.
"Divinely," he answerea. And then,
after a 'short pause: "She .is a singular
young lady, marchioness."
"Why?" inquired: Lady Romley, in her
most non-eommittal tone.
"I would likehte be friends with her,"
ha replied slowly, wondering how he
should eeplain to her; "but she won't
let me. he woula not even receive ray
thanks for her first ballad) becattie it
was one my mother used to sing to me."
"And whyt" queried Lady Romleyaher
donvietion growing stronger 'at each mos
neat that her previous tonvictiori was
'correce.
"Because she dislikes me -hates me, I
'shoulut rather say -and will have nothieg
te do with nee as long as I ran in the
position of quasi -guardian to her. I just
promised her that I would beg you to
relieve' me entirely of my duty in the.
matter; Will you do so?"
"Yea." I think I should. lave suggested
it to you," she replied. '.'Erna is not a
person tselee left to herself any longer..
She is Strengely gifted, but as ungov-
trued as a Wild animal, though With a
reserve of true -womanliness that should
some day rectify all her faults."
"The same thought had oceurred to
ine," he said. eagerly.
Lady Roraley saw that she had Made
a -mistake.
"I see you are very attentive to Laxly
Gertrude," he said; "I am glad of it;
for she is just- the mistrese Aubrey
should have.'
"'ea," replied the earl, but witheut
-enthusiasm, "she is beautiful and gifted.
• Then I auty consider myself discharged

pleasure to Ertel"

• If Erna had any other feeling then one
of hatred for the earl, she either did. not
know it, or was determined to keep it
to herself. Lady Romley was firmly of
the opinion that Erna was in love with
him, consciously or unconsciously, and
her tubed was wear that the safest thing
for Erna to do was•to become the Mar-
chioness of Melrose.
The marquis, on his part, lost no time
in declaring his intentions to Lady Rom -
ley, the moment he understood tea relit -
lion in whieh she stood toward Erna. Ile
did not do it'sviali any great boldness.
•In feet, he looked rather shamefaced;
for the sober truth 'was that in the days
of Iris youth be had been a TiVal of the
Marquis of •Ro-mley for the hand of the
marchioness; and there did seem an ele-
naent of humor in asking her to permit
him to sue for the hand of her ward,
who might have been the grandehild of
either of. them. . •
"I; know very -svellse Malahioness,", he
said, -afterebe. had 'inertia -his- ferinal• pro-

"I widerstand that," he answered;

"I know no more than you, marquis.

The marquis shivered at this plain
statement of 'the ease; but his old heart
was all aflame, and he would have
borne anything for the sake of win-
ning the peerless creature. His only
fear was that seine one would come
along to snatch her away from under

"Shall I speak to her at once?" he
asked.
"If you tvish her to say no," replied
the marchioness. "The fact is, Melrose,

The remainder of -the evening Erna
was less gentle and more brilliant. And
Lady Romley, quick to note the change,
saw that she frequently rimmed herself

speak, by sheer force of will.
"I. wonder what has happened?" she
murmured.
Once Erna found herself alone with
the marquis. She turned to him quickly,
"Have you any good hoifsee in your

"The best in the country, they say."
"MO X ride whenever I wish to?" she
asked.

Cross Movement of Stars.
The Scientific American oontaine the
following in a recent issue: One of the
most surprising results: of the cross mo-
tion of the fixed stars, as projected on
the background of the sky, s the grad-
ual falling to pieces of the familier con-
stellations. The stars are moving in all
sorts of directions, SOMO faster and
seine slower, and the inevitable conse-
quence must be that in a few centuries
the whole face of the heavens will be
so changed that, if we weld come back
again to our earthly life, we should
not recognize them. Of course, a very
long period of time will be required to
produce a very great traueformation.
