THE SEA.

My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go; My tardy steps its waves sometimes o'erreach, Sometimes I stay to let them overflow. My sole employment *tia and scrupulous cara To place my gains beyond the reach of tides, Each smoother pebble and each shell more rara. Which ocean kindly to my hand confides. I have but few companions on the shore; They scorn the strand who sail upon the sea; Yet oft I think the ocean they've sailed- o'er la deeper known upon the strand to bits. The middle sea contains no crimson dulse, Its deeper waves cast up no pearls to view; Along the shore my hand is on its pulse, And I converse with many a shipwrecked crew. —Thoreau.

IN THE RAIN.

A Bomanoe of One TJm- — brelia For Two People. ~

"If I didn't look as if I were trying to gain some benefit from your umbrella," he remarked as he chanced to meet her on the church steps after the service, "I would ask to walk home with you. I didn't expect rain when I left home, so I am unprepared." "However," came her clear reply, just arch enough to be frank, "if you'll carry my umbrella and let me turn Imy energies to keeping my dress caught up out of the mud, I'll be very thankful to you." They had walked, strangely enough, half way home m most complete si lence when a man and a woman passed, like them, under one umbrella, but, unlike them, the woman was held snugly close to the man's side as she clung to his arm. It was a pretty picture of that open freedom which so undeniably marks a congenial man and wife, whose companionship has rip ened into frank trust. As they passed, Robert Cartwright said, half thoughtlessly, perhaps: "They are sensible. If two are trying to use one umbrella, they are surely to be commended if they strive to take up as little room as possible. Even if it be noon, won't you take my arm?" "But they are plainly not such—such strangers as we," she returned, con scious that both were treading on dan gerous ground. "Are we strangers?" he asked quick ly, turning his eyes searchingly to her. The pretty face grew a trifle pale against its light brown hair. A lump seemed to climb to bk throat, but she returned bravely,,- ies— that is, we'll always be str/v*sers compared with i them." .--jjdß I He stQPi^fioT an instant and gazed fixpair at Sir till a hot flush flew up '■ ;rom her collar and swept under the velvet strings of her dainty brown bonnet. "Always?" he asked simply. "Yes. Why, can't you see that they are married?" She tried to laugh it away, but it would have been difficult to tell which pair of lips quivered the more or which pair of eyes swam m the deeper mist as the two started on, both silent, both sad, both realizing that a little tragedy had occurred m that brief in stant under that dripping umbrella. Eight years went by and found 6a brielle Vaughne alone m the world, with necessity for keeping up a life m which all interest and all energy were dead. She had at last arisen from a tedious illness, and the nurse her self hardly recognized the tall, pale, sad faced woman with the short, dark curls, as the bright eyed, light haired girl of six months before. Gabrielle had one thing dear to her, and only one, and that was a memory. And some of our dearest memories are the crudest parts of our lives. When finally she stood before a mirror and realized that that changed creature was herself, a mighty resolve filled her— she would go to the source of that memory. She knew where he was; she knew that he had married three years after that bitter morning m the rain and had married a wealthy wife. That was the reason that she had thrust him back from her long ago, just because of his poverty. Not that It would pain her, a thousand times no I Hadn't she crief out night after night since that starvation with him would be only bliss? But she had known his ambitions and his capabilities; knew his dreams of success, and she realized his ability to turn the dreams to realties. She was poor. Would she permit herself to hang a millstone about his neck? Would she hold him always m the depths of poverty by being his wife and the mother of his needy children? No; she would hurt his heart before she would ruin his life. Time had proved that she had been right. His wife was a beautiful woman, and her wealth had opened boundless opportunities to him. He had risen— she bad known that he would. But now that she scarcely was able to know herself she would venture Into his world and see for herself how happy and prosperous he was. So, having spent all but her last sovereign for her ticket, she stepped Into Langinham one spring evening, steeling her heart to what might fol low. The next evening she had walk ed past his great house and was start ing back when a sudden shower burst unexpectedly upon her. She gathered up her skirts m that particular way so characteristic of a dainty woman and was hurrying along when all at once she was conscious of a sharp, childish cry at her side. Turning, she beheld a tall, sad faced man trying to quiet a fretful baby of about 2 years, which held out its dimpled hands to her and cried, "Mamma, mamma!" The gentleman strove to quiet It, and Gabrlelle started on. But sharp and piercing came the cry of "Mam*

ma!" and her heart bade her linger. For the first time the man spoke to her. "I must beg your pardon, madam. His mother has just died, and some- ( thing about you seems to have recalled her to him." Gabrielle's heart softened at once. Going straight up, she took the tiny, outstretched hands m her own and murmured, "Poor, motherless little one!" The father held out his umbrella over her, and for the first time she looked at him. The face was Rob ert's. She was glad for the excuse of turn- Ing to the baby again and murmured something unintelligible. However, he had not recognized her, bo she drew all her strength to her assistance and succeeded m hiding her emotion. "If you will walk under my umbrel la, as I am going your way, you can keep dry. And, too, I fear baby won't like to part with you now." There was no easy way to retreat. It would have been absurd to scud off m a changed direction through the pelting rain, so she continued talking hurriedly to the child. As they reached the foot of the broad stone steps she stopped. "I cannot thank you enough for hav ing calmed Leslie. His nurse left this morning, and he will not be consoled by any of the other servants. So I finally told Mrs. Clarke, the house keeper, that I would try him for a walk. But will you not take the um brella? It will be a shame to expose yourself to such a deluge." She gracefully declined all thanks and such kind offers and glided au*ck ly off, a tall, black robed figure, daring the watery drops. But a perfect shriek from baby arose when he found him self deserted In this fashion, and each succeeding cry became louder and more distressing. Again Gabrlelle could not go. Again she came back to him. "Will you please come Into the house with him? alra. Clarke may there be better able to get him away than I." go Gabrielle, carrying his child, Les lie, entered the house, unknown, but welcome even then. Leslies was not to be easily deceived, and all the ruses were seen through immediately by .his careful, big blue eyes. "We must get a nursemaid this very night," declared Mrs. Clarke as she en deavored, m her practical, cold hearted way, to inveigle the young lord from his new "mamma." ' , "But," groaned Mr. Courtright, "where can one get one whom he can trust on such very short notice?" A bold Idea entered Gabrielle's head. She tried three or four times to speak and her voice failed. Finally she choked back the lump m her throat and said: "Would It be presumptuous linme to offer myself? I can show you some excellent references, and. I am looking for some such position." "You a nursemaid!" exclaimed Mr. ' Courtright In amazement. Then, a moment later, he would have given much to have it back unsaid. Her plain, black gown was darned at the elbows. It was merely her way of wear ing it that gave her the appearance of a woman of long founded culture and delicacy. Two years went by, m which Miss Varney, as she was then known, un discovered, was loved by and loved m return Mr. Courtright's two children. It was one evening m March, just be fore dusk, when she had left Leslie up stairs asleep and had just come down to the drawing room with Mabel to stay with the child until her father came to dinner. He was late, and Mabel wandered off to the library, thus leaving Gabrielle alone m the dimly lighted room when Mr. Court right finally entered.

"Shall I call Mabel?" she began, starting from her station at the win dow.

"No, Miss Varney, stay. I have something to say to you. You remem ber how moved 1 was the first time Leslie called you 'mamma?' You thought then, no doubt, that it was be cause of the memory of my wife. Part ly ao, but mostly because I thought for an instant that you were the wo man who —who might have been his mother, if the fates had been kinder. Do you know, Miss Varney, that you often remind me cruelly of a woman I loved better than the world?" "Your wife?" "Jifo, One I loved before I met my wife. Can you, will you, hate me if I ask you thus to be Leslie's mamma m truth as well as m word?" Moment after moment went by. The shadows came closer and the rim of lighter clouds near the western hori zon grew n&rrowei*. At last she said: "I, too, loved m the long ago. And 1 caa never m any way love another man. But"— "Miss Varney"— he broke m. "No, let me finish," she continued. "Take an umbrella and go down to the east gate. Do not ask a question, but take the umbrella and wait there." Then she sped up stairs, He was flazed; maybe that was the reason that he, as m a dream, did as she had bid and took his station down by the rus tic gate, where the softly falling rain dripped through the leaves on to the gravel of the walk. Suddenly he was conscious of a rus tle at his side, and, turning, there stood a tall girl, with a loving smile beaming above the same dark collar, with a sweet face shining from be neath the same velvet bonnet remem bered so well from long ago, and an old time voice murmured: "Robert!" "GabrielleV" he gasped. "Yes," she laughed. "Gabrielle and your nursemaid m one." When they walked up to the house that night, she clung lovingly to his arm under the narrow umbrella, for they were strangers no longer.—Ex change.

Bolls. Pimples. Sure Signs of Impure Blood. Do not think that washes and oint ments can cure eruptions of the skin. They cannot. The cause is deeper, even down m the very blood itself. Purify your blood, and your skin will be smooth and clear. Mr. James Johnson, of South Forbes, New South. Wales, sends us his photo graph, and says: "My whole body was almost covered with boils. Beading about AVER'S 1 thought I ■would try it. I took one bottle, and was entirely free from any eraption what aver. My eyesight was greatly strengthened also." Mr. Johnson's eyesight was strength ened because the Sarsaparilla is such a wonderful nerve tonic. For impure blood and weak nerves there is no remedy m the world equal to it.
