('1 Sheeting, 497 4:! 1) 490-?! l-tf 31 TEEE SALTWYND ROCKS, “ it’s the loveliest sight [ever be- held !' exclaimed Leila Reade, the long, dark lashes drooping over her blue, thoughtful eyes, from which the dazzling arrows of the morning sunshine, while the other rested lightlv on the carved iron railing of the balcony where she was stand- mg. And Leila was right-nit was in« deed a bright picture, framed in the gold of the cloudless hori;-:on, the great sea floating like a floor of diamonds, beneaths wreath and columns of rainbow-tinted trust, that parted, ever and anon, to give a glimpse of white, dimly outlined sails that shone and vanished in the distance as if they had been dis- embodied phantomsâ€"the sun, veiled, as it were, in gleaming va- por, and the green, translucent waves, dashing up on the beach in front, where the whité sand was all strewn with bits of drippmg sea- weed, and trail, pearly shells, with pink gleams lightning up their conâ€" volutions. ‘.‘ Yes. it is beautiful,” assented Philip Reade, who stood beside his young wife, with one hand resting lightly on her shoulder. But it was possible that they might have been a‘luding to things that were essen- tially different, as he, instead of gazing out at the sea, was watching the red color eome and go in fittul gushes across her satiny. check. She was only eighteen, with bright bands of palid gold hair, a sltin like tinted marble, and eyes whose blue, magnetic sparkle carried conquest in their every glance. A spoiled child and a beauty, Leila had yet to learn the great Life Lesson that is in store for us all. It was a. common topic at Salt- wvnd, the then‘ fashionable water- ingâ€"place, how Philip Reade wor- shipped his beautiful young wile, as men were wont to worship the far shrine-d saints of oldâ€"and how coolly she accepted the incense ofu tering. Not that Leila did not love: her noble husband; but did you ever hear how people, finding rare diamonds, deck themselves with the shinning stones. wearing them carelessly, as deeming them mere bits of sparkling glass. until some sudden revelation teaches themâ€"â€" often too lateâ€"the priceless value of the gems ‘P That was just the case With our little Leila Reade: Philip’s adultation had been laid so humbly at her feet that she never dreamed how dreary life would be 1 without it. The next moment the brieftete- a-tete was interrupted by a gay par- ty of young peopleâ€"ladies in flat tering muslin and dancing ribbons. and gentlemen whose whole voca- tion in life seemed to be the idle pursuit ofa moment’s pleasure. They are ringing, they are ringing, Our merry Christmas bells, In the village, in the city, In the dale-church, o’er the falls. Be our ways oflife so varied, Be our fortunes poor 0r bright, Hand in hand with all our brothers, We are one at least to-night. Not the noble in his mansion, Nor the sovereign on her throne, Nor the beggar in lllS hovel Will enjoy themselves alone. We all seek the kindly greeting Of some dear, familiar face; We all know that hermit feeling For to-night is out of place. But one night! Why not for ever. Should we bind the golden chain That shows man his poorest fellow Was not sent to earth in vain? That each sorrow hath a purpose, That each gift hath an alloy, That ever finely balanced Are the scales of grief and joy. Spare a little, then, ye rich ones, Erom your laden coffers now; Bring to poverty a sun-ray, Bring a. smile to sorrow’s brow. Take it gratefully, ye toilers, Toiler’s up earth’s weary hill ; ’Tis a green spot in your desert, ’Tis a. good sprung fiom your ill. Yes, be rich and pporfiunited. 7 "NS most grand in Heaven’s sight, And a blessing, not earth‘s blessing, Is on all the world to-night! LEILA READE’S LESSON.

Come, Philip." ‘ I thought you had decided not to go out [0-day love," said Mr. Reade, with a slightshadow ofdis- appointment on his brow. ‘ My head aches a Little, and-â€"’ ‘ O, nonsenseâ€"I am afraid you are gelling hypochondrical, Philip. This delicious air is invigorating in itself, and you’ll feel all the better for an animating \valk,’ caia Lelia, gayly, as she tripped away to her room. ‘ Oh, here is Mrs. Reade,” said one of the group. a gay young girl with the mugs of her chesnuL-browu hair blown all about her rosy face by the salt touch of the brisk sea- breeze. ‘ Mv dearest Leila, have you forgotten all about our expedi- tion for shells and sea-anemones ? Get your bonnet and parasol this minute, for we cannot possile or- ganize the ramble without you !’ ‘ Allow me to be your cavalier pro tempera, fair lady,’ said St. John gallaptly 7 ‘I consider him the best and most indulgent of husbands to a spoiled and :apricious wife.’ said Mrs. Ellis. ‘Indeeu‘, mv love, I sometimes question whether a liille more restraint would notbet- ler suitvour peculiar character, than ’ ‘ Aunty I what an ideal [I is a husband’s business 10 indulge and amuse his Wife. and if Mr. Philip prefers to remain sulking at home, and enact the role at interesiiug invalid. why I dare say Charles Grey or young St John will escort me in his stead 'l' Leila allowed him to carry her white parasol, and rested her hand lightly on his arm. but she look- ed round uneasily for her husband, nevertheless. As the partv passed out into the piazza, Philip Reade joined them. ‘Leila?’ said her aunt warningly, but Leila bounded away down stairs. with a laugh that “as half dehanh ‘ Where’s Reade 1’ surely be is not going to desert our party?’ said Hervey St. John. ‘ I don’t know, I’m sure] return- ed Leila. ' ‘My dear! when have you been asked 10 deny yourself lately?

I , I a p mg a Imle. ‘Isupposed you were not com- ing!’ said Leila, in reply to his inquiring glance. But she never came to his side, or beckoned him to join herâ€"the momentary pique had no“. yet passed away. ' The sun hung a broad shield 01 living lire just above the margin of the sea, trailing its long ribbon ofgold across the ripple and spar- kle of the waves, and the group of pleasure-seekers, their tiny baskets filled with withered sea-mosses and shells and rainbow pebbles, were slowly returning. under the shadow of Saltwynd Rocks. a mass of white, overhanging stone, whose vinedraped crests hung over the beach like a canopy, and in the clefts and crevices at which gleam- ed seaweeds and silvery ridges of sand, left there day after day bv the waves which swept its base at high ltide. ' Why, Leila, what have You done with that lovely pink shell?’ Philip Reade smiled and nodded, swung himself tfghtly round the edge ol the rocks and was gone be- fore Leiltt could consider the thoughtlessness of her demand. ‘ Why, he won’t overtake us un- til we are home !’ said St. John. ‘ Do you think not 9’ said Leila rather anxiously, shading her eyes with her hand, a moment. Then recovering her gayety ofdemeanor, she took St. John’s arm again, and resumed the conversation which had been interrupted by the discovery of the loss of the shell. ‘ Shall I go back-after it,’ said St. John. exclaimed one ofthe ladies. ‘ I do not see it in your basket 1’ p ‘Noâ€"my husband will go. Philipâ€"you know where I laid it down. ‘ My shell“! must have lost itl’ said Leila. ‘ Oh, what a pity ! No, I remember now, 1 had it upon that little point of land where the chest- nut trees grew. I remember laying it down with my paarsol, and when 1 took up the parasol I forgot all about the shell.’ Snnset had faded into the orange glow of twilightâ€"the evening star rode high above the glimmering sea and Philip Reade had not yet reâ€" turned. Leila, unwilling tu ac- knowledge even to herself how un- easy she was at his protracted de- lay, was standing on the balcony which opened from her own room, straining her eyes for a glimpse of his coming figure, when voices on the piazza below attracted her atten- non. ‘ Why not 9’ said Vernon Hart. a gentleman who had been of the partllhay _day. A ‘ Good Heavens !’ ejaculated the old man, suddenly starting to his feet, ‘ it can’t be possibleâ€"he couldn’t have been insane enough to aitempt crossing on those slippery rocks. with the tide rushing in like a whirlpool! It's just the way young Eth’erege was lost, there. just three years ago, come next mid- summerâ€"as fine a young man as [ever set eyes on, and bold as a lionâ€"but ’ ‘Three hours ago,’ said an old fisherman, who was in the habit of lounging about the hotel, ‘ and he would have been here long since if he had taken the path over the hill; Bax he ne'ver‘gqggld be wild Waltwynd Leila Reade heard no moreâ€"she had rushed Wildlv down stairs and confronted the old man, Catching at hularm with gasping, incoherent questions. ‘ My husbandâ€"tell me ’ ‘ We have already sent out some men with a boat, Mrs. Reade,’ said Vernon, with a strange prophetic pity in his eyes. ‘Nolhing more can possiblv be done until we hear farther riding. Try to compose yourself Madam-wlet us hope for the best !’ Rocks. ’ ‘The tidesLâ€"Saltwynd Rocks are impassable after sunsetâ€"the water comeq up like a deluge.’ ‘ But I am sorry to say that we were none of us aware of there be- ing any other route than that at. lhe foot of the Saltwynd Rocks,’ said Vernon, ‘and I very much fearâ€"’ ‘ He is dyingâ€"he is perishing. without a soul to aid himâ€"mv hus- band, and you- staid here and bid me compose myself.’ She threw off the kind hand which he had laid on hers, with passionate guger. She turned dway from him with a face that was whiter than death, and began tying on her bonnet with trembling hands. ‘Where are you going, Leila’! My dearest, what strange fancy has possessed you now P said henaum, who had joined the group, with cheeks nearly as pale as Leila’s own. ‘ My dear love, do not be so rash, so wild.‘ We shall hear news, ere long.’ ‘ To seek Philipâ€"do no: detain me I’ ‘He is my husbandumy other life ! I tell you] will not stand here, idle !’ She impatiently disengaged her- self from MrsElIi’s restraining hand, and tattered a few steps forwardâ€" then lhrew up her hands with a wild cry of despair. ‘My feet refuse to carry meâ€"my head swims' Oh, must I indeed re- main here.todle of this sick,terribie suspense ?’ Mrs. Ellis was too judicious a nurse to attempt by word or action to check the burst of anguish,which alone could relieve the overburden- ed brainand heart LShe accompanied Leila to her mom. and laid her gentlv on the bed, bathing the throbbing brow with fragrant ecl- ogne, and smoothing back the heavy golden masses of hair that had fallen lrom the amber comb. Only once Leila spoke; it was to sav, in accents of the deepest grief : ‘ It is useless, dearest Auntâ€"l cannot sleepâ€"yet if my rashness has indeed murdered my noble- hearled, unselfish husband. I Could wish to sleep and never wake again. I never knewuâ€"l never dreamed be- fore, how unwnrthy l was ot his priceless iove ’ ‘lt was my fault, it was all my mad folly l but oh 1 I never thought to be punished thus terribly.

Leila turned despairingly from their very sound. ‘ We can onlv trust in Heaven,” Leila,’ said Mrs. Ellis, with soit impressiveness. O, the unworded agonvâ€"â€"the fluctuating hopes and fears of that awful night, as Leila alternately closed her eyes to see ghastly visions of drowning men and great waves sweeping dead corpses away as if they had been mere sprays of float- ing sea-weed. and openegl them to askreager questions whtch all met ‘ How shall I bear it when it does come ?' she asked, in a hollow, un- natural voice, ‘ how shall I endure to look upon his dead face, and:re- member who sent him to his death.’ ‘ Leila ! this is wrong 1' She said no moreâ€"yet Mrs. Ellis knew that the dreadful phanâ€" tasy vet haunted her brain. “But I have brought down Héavenk anger upon rnysflf? wailed the girl. ‘0, aunt, the punishment is greater than I can bear.’ No titlingâ€"no tidings of him who was dearer to her than all the living breathing world beside, and vet the starry constellations climbed the blue-black sky, and the sweet night winds stirred the clustering roses at the easement, as calmly as if their sight and sound made no dis cord with the anguished lhrobbings of a breaking heart ! ‘ Is it nearly morning, aunt ?’ ‘ Past ten, my love.’ ‘Andâ€"â€"and the boats have not returned 9’ ‘ Not yet.’ Leila turned her face to the wall with a low groan. Try to sleép, Leila: this anxiety will wear you out. Remember that it is not time to expect any news yet: Towards day-break, however, exhausted nature rebelled against this tax on her over-wearied powers and Leila fell into a deep, though feverish slumber. How long it lasted she had no means of knowing, but when she woke, the crimson sun- rise was irradiating her room. Be- side the table, apparenth absorbed in the pages of some book, sat a figure which at first she deemed to be in some way connected with the dreams which yet swarmed through her fancy, but, unlike them, it did not vanish into thin air. ‘ Philip !’ ‘ My dear little wile 1’ He was at her side. with his arm round her neckâ€"his dark, damp ‘huir sweeping her palid cheekâ€"â€"no spectral ghost from the recesses of some deep-sea cave, but Philip’s very self!

Look at the trumpery that tickles us. They can play in the dirt with their toys. 'I‘heir fun is whole-souled‘ rollick- ing tun. They have no fear 0ftheir make-believe money being stolen or lost. No visions of breaking banks ; no misgivings about risky investments keep them awake 0'- nights, or spoil their appetites by day. Silks and jewels give them no concern. When they play, they play with all their might, tumbling head over heels, perfectly oblivious of the rules of politic society and the exactments of etiquette. 1f the confectioner refuses to give them candy for theirsguppofl't’ory coin. l ‘ I am weary of this gay whirl of liolly ; I can never hear to look up- on the sea again.

But oh, Philip,’ she added, with a shrinking shud- der, ‘it was a terrible awakening irom the idle dream of pleasure I" Terrible indeed, it had- been; but Philip Reade, even while he soothed his wite’s sobbing agita- tion with word and caress, could not entirely regret any occurrence that had revealed to him how deep ly and tenderly he was beloved by Leila. W 1 five minutes the disappointment is forgotten. We big folks, with our stocks and coupons, and bonds and mortgages. and cash in hand. have a thousand times the anxiety they have, and it is very doubtful if these evidences of wealth make us half as happy as the rudest playthings makes the children of the poor. The boy of ten who plays at hop-scotch, or pigvinthe-ring, on the sidewalk, might well be envied by the specu- lator, who gambles for a “golden chain or wooden leg,” in the gold room or the stock market.
