IXA FISHERMAN'S COTTAOI-

Let us return for a moment bo that awful night which witnessed bhe destruction of the _t_wffl__-rtp Messenger by fife' in tlie Straits of Dovor.

Let ns recall tlie terrible scene in the lasb hour of the disaster— the midnight sea strewn with fragments of the wreck, to which __i_.f_blb human beings clung for deaf life, while the boAtS ff___ bh6 Malt Jane tossed in and out amtftig t_6__,< pick ing up (lie drowning wretch** as f-._b as practicable: when Gerald Flb.g_s.ald, in a paroxysm of moral, insanity, abandoned his young wife to lib? late, and Hastened to. rescue Geraldine. Ab the same moment. ,however,,. thn abaiicloiiineht ahd awful peril of Gertrude was witnessed by another individual. Sallusb Rowley, supporting himself on his hencoop, was floating slowly along, wail ing his turn to bo .picked up by one of bhe Iboats from bho relief ship, when he saw a young girl deserted and left bo perish. He" did, iipt, eveh recognise her as .Ger trude. He did nob even suspecb her iden tity. He did not suppose that he had ever seeji. the girl in his life before. Remember bhis : bhab Sallusbßowfey had Mm _b..fe.it frb__ his home for nearly two years, during which he had nearly circuni havigabed the globe, and consequently he Md hi&Wt little of nothing of what was fcoing.oniri.h_. native eotantry.. When he lad tied the neighbourhood, he had left (SOMA And Geraldine __tfoih_cl fov_r., on the very eve of marriage ; and^ although he had witnessed Geraldine'. violent outburst Of t.Hijodf Hi _l.b' „_e'_pl_ih_cl absence of Gerald, yet he did nob know of the subse quently broken engagement; .and there fd. _. *hrih he HM tlie'twb oh 'tlffc & #M_ ol the steamer, he. naturally supposed them 10 be a married couple on their travels. Hfc had ft'O- seen Gfert_i.d'6 _t. all, and knew, nothing of her. presence on ihe steamer : indeed, whenever he thought of the little ferry-girl, he pictured hfer dl still at the ferry plying her trade. Consequently ho had nob the faintest idea thab tho young creature so cruelly aban doned to her fate was liis admired Gertrude. He.only saw in her some poor-, unknown girl: whom Gerald Fil?,gereld had been kindly "trying to save, bub whom ho had Mb to p.ri.h as "soon as he __w his Own wife in danger. Bat "though be did not recognise Gertrude when she saw the young girl left to drowti, struggle, succumb and sink, in an instant lie dropped his hencoop, i.r am to the spot, dived for her, recovered hot. and brought her to tlie surface.

He saw that she was "unconscious, bub he never for an instant imagined her to bo dead. He knew thab. she could hot.have been drowned dead in _o short, a bime. Holding her by one hafofl. he swalh towards the drifting hencoop, hoping to recover ib, and use ib for a supporb for both until some boat should return and pick them up.

But the chase after the drifting hencoop seemed a hopeless toil Burdened with the weight of the unconscious girl, his progress was necessarily very slow, _rid ever as ho came within reach of tho hencoop, and stretched oub his arm to cabch it, ib drifted off further frofn his grasp. -Ab length his strength began to fail,.and ib became a question whether to drop his helpless burden or to hold, her p,t the.cost of his own life. ..-;_■ " But, no ! I won't be such n sneak as to let a woman drown for "the sako of saving myself ! To be sure, no one would ever know anything about iboxcepb thab ridicu lous fellow SalliiSb Rowley: but 1 bo dunned if 1 would'nb be ash_med ever to look him in the face again .." thought bhe young ffl&n to ' himself., as.he. strnagle'cl.With all his strength to help himself and his helpless burden from sinking. , " Bosh ! this is perfectly futile ! 1 carinot t*S__i W y Mi-e 681. -'eveii by ttt_ gacritieb cf my own life ! If I hold onto her, wo both must perish, ff I drop her'sho can but perish, as she must do in any case, arid then I mbdit save myself. No use in throwing away niy life for nothing ! H there Was a single hope of saving her, now ; bub there isn't, riot oven by bhe sac. iftc. of hiy OWn life," he reflected, as he felfc his strength utterly failing him. But just At that irioment a snunon blaze of the burning ship lighted up tho scene with a vivid brilliancy. Gertrude was f lont irio- oil h. r back with'her right hand Clasped in the left hand of her preserver, and with no part of her form vrsibl. above the water bub her face. ~ , Sallrist, .Junking to dr'dp tho girl whom he could not possibly save, turned his head with _orrib diffibul-y td look at her In that sudden bright flame. And then, to his unbounded amazehienfc, he recos-riised her tp be Gertrude. In his consternation he forgob tho situa tion and came near drowning both himself arid her. He recovered his faculties as he said to himself : ,_.., ---" It is Gertrude ! that is certain. However she came to be on that unlucky sbeam ehip ! I can'b drop her ! No, sik-k-r ! She saved my life— (whab a brick bhab girl was !) —she saved my. life, and I musbsaye hers or drown wibh her, or never dare bo look Srilulsb Rowley in the face again !" He Mid Mr tid-h a firirior bold, and cttSt his despairing eyes all over the surface erf tlie flame-lib wabers in bhe hope of seeing gome hoab. __ >__•._ Hd saw nbfc ofi& Th. Sea wis de sort-'dv

" Help ! help ! help . His call died away in silence ; .and there was no response. He waited a minute, and then repeated the bdll: "Help! Help!

Once-more, hoWever,< he raised bis hopeldf voi'ee, crying,: . , , ~. "Help! Help! Help!" Arid' this' _____ thbrb came a reply : " Aye ! Ayb \ Hold b« ! W r hbro are

The fisherman and his guest wero left alone in tho outer room, which wa.s bub dimly shown by bho lire on bhe hearth. After changing 1 his clothes and partaking of a hearty meal, Sallusb was thankful to adopt his host's advice and go to bed, where he soon sank into a deep sleep. In the morning the fisherman s frugal meal was scarcely over before' lie was called upon by some of the inon from, the coast guard. I . _ _ Tliey bad received news of tho P"»'n>»R of the steamship Moseenger, oil St. Margaret's Bay, and they had cowio down to the littlo fishing village to inquire whether any of the crow ol passengers had boon picked up by their boats, and the fisherman told them of tho two ho had saved. ... . _.. 1 "Do you know who they are I inquired tho messenger of tlie coast-guard.. " Yes, sir ; the gentleman's n Mr Samuel Rowlins, and my man.

The fisherman re-entered his cottage* where he found bis wife busy in preparing some food in h saucepan over tho fire. "How's your patient, .l onny ." ho in quired i Jenny Reynolds, a fresh, rosy, blue-eyed woman of about thirty years of age, replied, cheerily: "Oh ! she will do now. I can t jttsb say as she's come bo herself ?/''» bub she brenbhes easy enough, and is in a gentle perspira tion. I can tell you better when she comes to herself, which she shows signs of doing this morning."

At first Gertrude looked afouiid. he. in evident bewilderment and pairt ; then she put her hands up to her eyes and rubbed them gently, as if to clear their vision, aha then re-opened therii and looked arotittd again. But the expression of her face grew c.fen more perplexed than before as sho gazed upon the rbugh-hewn, unplastered stone wdlls and the rude wooden furniture Of hbr new surroundings.

Tliey tried to find Out, the guardian who bftd _0 faithlb&..ly abandoned hor, but they fail6d iitfc-rly in their dtteriipt to trace him. Titd Wdrthy milrket-carde'ner and his good Wife prospered gi-'eatly during tho years thdt little Mdgdtua Was growing up; as il tlibir pt'btbbtiori of the deserted child had brought a blessing to them. They made money, bought a largor piece near their own', moved into ib, arid wliilo bhe husband cdlribtl Ori the market-gardening business, tlid wifb took lodgers, assisted by Magdala arid her own younger girl. Well,, one summer. When Magdala was about fifteen yerii'_ of age, there came a gentleman to lodge with them Who .0 name Was Adam Ldcklhnd."

"Who?" exclaimed Colonel Fitzgerald, bending his dark brows Wistfully upon the speaker. "AdairiLaekland."

" AdaM I_u___an-i> !•'' " Aye ! You may well stare. I thought I should givd you several shocks before I could get thrdugh wibh my narrative," said bhe rector, quietly. v Addhi Lackland ; why, that was the ndiri. of thb mari who was bried in Wash ington -Wo' ybars ago for the murder of Buckhursb !" declaimed Colonel Fitzgerald, amazed.

" Yes, bhab was bhe man, or, ab all evenbs, blie name of bho man."

" The name is very peculiar, bub nob more so bhan bhe man who bore ib : ib musb have been blie same. Pray go on. "Well, bhis young Lackland came to lodge with Robins, the market-gardener, in blie summer when Magdala Haddon was about fifbeen years of age. Ib seems bhab h6 WaS a very handsome young fellow, of pleasing manners, and. what was better than all, steady habibs. He made a very good impression on the honest people, who declared that they never had a lodger whom they liked better; for though lie was en gaged upon a London newspaper lie neither smoked, dor swore, nor broke the Sabbath; besidefly hb kepb regular hours."

" He was a very exemplary young, man, though a professional Bohemian. That being understood, proceed. What did he dor " He fell ih lOvb with the splendid bdauty of young Magdala, and proposed to marry the girl." "Well?"

, "Well, bhe foster-mother consulted the fathdi 4 ,' and fchdri fcfcd dur&te, and then the god-mother, arid betwobr. bhem' all ib was agreed bhab, though. the girl wds very young, ybt thb man Was so steady, re spectable, andL well abla. to supporb her, it fras better bhab so good an opportunity of Settling her &ijh& world should nob be lost_i but that, before the marriage, the young .man must, in fairness, UWt of tWf dbubttall Orlgfe « thtd bhild wh<Sm h© sought ad his wife;

" Well, they maiTied—tliis young Adam Lackland and Magdala Haddon ?" "Yes, thoy i/mrried; but from s.re.s of oircunistanees they lodged with the old couple for several months,'during which young Lackland collected all tho proofs, relic., 1 copies of Icbbbus. abstracts from parish rogistors, atiidnvits of witnesses, and ov .rybhing else bhab ho could lay his hands on as evidence of the identity of Mugdala Ha.Uldir_.with tho dauglitcr of Gabriel and Lillian Haddon, and the heiress-of sundry manors.in Wilde'country. Fortunately, be was wise enough to take attested copies only, leaving bho original documents in bhe hands of blmse who had so care fully preserved them for so many years. Armed with these, lie mado preparations for taking his young wife with him to Virginia, to sock oub her father, Gabriel Haddon, and her grandfather, Hiram Slaughter. Bub, in the meantime* bho winter had drawn on, and lie was unwilling to expose Magdaia to the discomforts of a sea voyage in cold weather, lie was easily persuaded to defer the trip urit.il spring should conio. But when that time arrived, another delay became necessary. The period was approaching when the young wife would become a mother, and ib was advisable to pub oil'their voyage until after tbq birth of hor child. .In short bhey waited. Their child, a lovely littlo girl, by Mrs Robins's account, was born on the first day of June. Mother and babo being in perfect health, they completed thoir ar rangemenbs, and sailed for New York on ! bhe bwenby-eighth of bhe same month. And tho kind friends they had left behind never saw them again."

" I wonder how thab could Hcvi. been, . ihee both Lackland and Mri__!%i are still living; and ib seems bhab bhey hrid both been Very much attached to the old market ga.d.ner's family."

''Heaven knows ! As tor trie, I have been wondering lib overybliihg relating to tlie ease ever fl fried I discovered the hospital doctor and followed up the clu_." ''Hid they never Mar froiil the young couple again .' r_ " Yes, once, arid only once. They re: eeivod a letter from Adam Ldckldnd, dated New York, July the ldtli, saying that they had arrived safe and in good health, and tliat bliey should star'b for Virginia on the following morning. Since that < they have never received one iterii of intelligence con cerning -lieni.*'

"Well, Goodwin, I havo heard your astounding story ; ycb this remains — that bhe Adam lackland and Magdala Haddon of your narrarive, bhe sbeady, God-fearing man, and tho gontlo, ati'ecbionabe maiden, aro so entirely different, so exacbly opposibe to tho Lackland and Magdald of our acquaintance, to tho rough backwoodsman and tho iierco mad-woman, thab I cannob make them the same," said Colonel Fitz gerald. "Time, change and circumstances have mado them the same! The Lackland and Magdala who, with their infant child, lefb England on bhe.2Bbh of June, 18—, and arrived at New York on. bho 10th of July, are the same Lackland and Magdala of our knowledge. I can trace every step of tho girl's history, from her birth to her arrival in New York on the 10th of July, 18—. Then and bhere she is losb sight of. by direct besbimony; but her steps may be followed by circumstantial evidence." "What evidence, iv the name, of Heaven .' "Listen. Her lebber to her fosber parents, dated New York, July lObh, 18—, announcing their safe arrival in pott, also stabed thab bhey should leave for Virgiriia on bhe nexb day, bhe 11th. Thafc would give them four days, easy travelling, to reach Wildeville, where they would pro bably arrive on the 15th. Do you folloW me ?" " Yes." "Now, do you romeavbar bho notable flood of bhe 15bh of July, 18—?" "Perfecbly." "Well," continued Dr. Goodwin, with a sigh, "you remember the clay of the great inundation, when So much life and property were destroyed. It was on the 15.1 iof July, jusb four days afber Adam Lackland, his wife Magdala, and their infanb daugbber were bo havo lefb New York for Western Virginia, and the very day upon which they would probably have arrived." " Yes. Bab, good Heaven, to whab does all bhis lead," exclaimed Colonel Fitz gerald, much disturbed.

"I almost fear to follow- the el de, bub I musb do so, neverbheless. Lisbon. Lack land and his wife and child left New York on the llbh of Jnly, and were to have ar rived at Wildeville on thb tiftebnth, the day of the great flood. But he was never heard of at W ildeville. Adam Lackland Was never heard of in Wilde coUnbry. NOwlisben. On thonightof bhe great storm that preceded the flood, sbrangers arrived ab the landing oppo site Haddon's Ferry. They shotited and called for tho boat. Bub no boab could have lived on thb Wilde that niglib. They were safer where they were, under the shelber of bhe little ferry-hub on blinb side, or ab leasb ib was supposed so; for bhab bhey were nob safe even bhere was proved by the sequel. The nexb morning no brace of the sbrangers, or even of bhe ferry : hub, could be found. All had been carried away by the terrible flood of bhe nighb. Bub mark you. Below Wildeville, bhe insensible form of an unknown woman was recovered before life was quibe cxbincb. She was resuscitated, bub immediately fell into a violent fever, from which she arose with a shattered in tellect. She could give no account of her self, and tlie only article found upon her person bore bhe name of Magdala. She was called Magdala, and always answered bo bhab name. ' M YeSy she did ! she did ! The cireri__. sbantial evidence ia very strong, very s .rono 1 indeed." " Listen further. Colonel Fitzgerald. On the morning of that disastrous flood, a young female infant, of a few weeks old, was found in its little cradle, safely Stranded among tho water - lilies, at Haddon's Ferty." "Heavex oe Heavens, Goodwin. To what does all this tend ." exclaimed Colonel Fitzgerald, scarcely able to master hi 3 emotion. "Bb cdlm, Gerald, arid brace yourself. Thid child was found by Gabriel Hdddon, who tbok her ih, adopted her and brought her up as his oWn." •" G_____&i__ I' .- iVi •■•- m ' C'-"f-i<'

"Yes, he called he* Gdrtirade. NbW, do' you know how he happened to call her Ger trude* I ask for information."

Moreover, I have no doubb bhab bhe mosb important witnesses in this t : -_e bduld be induced, if it should be nede..s_ry, to go over bo Ameticaarid give their testimony in the Wilde country court." 1 "And yet," said Gerald Fitzgerald, I sorrowfully, "though, for bhe ends Of j justice, these facts must be revealed, I cannot sec any good bhab can come oub of the revelation. Miigdala is a wandering maniac, who can never enjoy bhe property ; Lackland is a border rover, who will never stay afc home; Gertrude has gohe where she no longer needs bhis world's wealth. But as for Geraldine—poor, proud Geraldine — sho will be reduced to destitution.

"My dear Colonel, bhere are some mys beries connected with this story which I cannot even prelcrid of hope to solve "until I see the parties to bhem. This, sudden, violent and complete severance of hiisbdhd, Wife and child is one of theiri."

"When do you propose to sail for America.' . .

"On tlie first of Mardh.
