| migrating birds, especially ducks; and he | interred that the line those vagrants had {taken was the shortest way from this island | to the nearest land. This was worth know- ing, and set his brain working. He begged Helen to watch for the return of the turtle | doves (they had all left the island just be- | fore the rain) and learn, if possible, from ' what point of the compass they arrived, The next expedition was undertaken to please Helen; she wished to examine the beautiful creeks and caves on the north side | which they had seen from a distance when | they sailed arcund the island. They started on foot one delightful day,. ‘apd walked briskly, for the. air, though /balmy, was exhilarating. They followed

| the course of the river till they came to the

lake that féed it, and was fed itself by hun-

| dreds of little natural gutters down which

the hullacdischarged the rains. This was

|new to Helen, though’ noi to Hazel; she ' produced the map and toid the lake siyly

that it was incorrect, a little too big, She took some ofe the water in her hand,’ sprinkled the lake with it, and called it Hazelmere. They bore a little to the right and proceeded till they found a creek shap-| ed like a wedge, at whose broad end shone

jan arch of foliage studded with flowers, and

the sparkling. biue water peeped behind. This was tempting, but the descent was hazardous at first; great equare blocks of | rock, one below another, and these rude steps were coated with mosses of rich hue, but wet and slippery; Hezel began to be alarmed for his companion. However, after one or two difficulties, the fissure opened wider to the sun, and they descend- ed from the slimy rocks into a sloping hot- | bed of exotic flowers, and those huge succu- lent leaves that are the glory of the tropics. The ground was carpeted a yard deep with their luxuriance, and others, more aspiring, climbed the warm sides .of the diverging cliffs, just as creepers, go up a wall, lining every crevice as they rose. In this blessed spot, warmed, yet not scorched, by the tropical sun, and fed with trickling waters, was seen what marvels ‘boon Nature’ can do. Here our vegetable dwarfs were giauts, and our flowers were trees, One lovely giantess of. the jasmine tribe, but with flowers shaped like a marigold, and

scented like a tuberose, had a stem as thick as a-poplar, and carried its thousand buds and‘amber-colored flowers up eighty feet of broken rock, and planted on every ledge suckers, that flowered again and filled the air again with perfume. , Another tree about half as high was covered with a cas- cade of snow-white tulips, each as big as a small flower-pot, and scented like honey- suckle. An aloe, ten feet high, blossomed in the corner, unheedéd among _loftier beauties, And at the very mouth of the fissure a huge. banand leaned across, and flung out its vast leaves, that seemed trans- lucent gold against the sun; under it shone a monstrous cactus in all her pink and crimson glory, and through the mase of color streamed the deep blue of the peace- ful ocean, laughing, aud catching sun. beams.

Helen leaned agaiust the cliff and quiver- ed with delight, and that deep sense of flowers that belongs to your true woman.

Hazel feared she was ill.

‘Til?’ said she. ‘Who could be ill here ? It is heaven upon earth. Oh, you dears! Oh, you loves! And they ail seemed grow- ing on the sea, and floating in the sun.’

‘And it is only one of a dozen such,’ said Hazel. ‘If you would like to inspect them at your leisure, I'll just run to Palm-tree Puint; for my signal is all askew. I saw trat as we came alog,’

Helen assented readily and he ran off; but left her the provisions, She was not to wait dinner for him.

Helen examined two or three of the flowry fissures, and found fresh beauties in each, and also some English leaves,that gave her pleasure of another kind; and after she had revelled in the flowers, she examined the shore and ‘svon discovered that the rocks which abounded here (though there were also large patches of clear sand) were nearly all pure, coral, and in great variety. Red coral was very abundant, and even the pink coral, to which fashion was just then giving a fictitious value, was there by the ton, This inter- ested her, and so did some beautiful shells that lay sparkling. ‘The time passed swift- ly; and she was still busy in her researches, when stddenly it darkened a little, and, looking back, she saw a white vapor steal- ing over the cliff, and curling down.

“Upon this she thought it prndent to re- turn to the place where Hazel had left her; the more so as it was near sunset.

The vapor descended and spread and covered the seaand land. Then the sun set; and it was darkness visible. Coming frem the south, the sea-fret caught Hazel sooner and in aless favorable situation. Retarning from the palm-tree, he had taken the shortest cut through a small jungle, and been so impeded by the scrub that, when he got clear, the fog was upon him. Be- tween that and the river he lost his way several times, and did not hit the river till near ;midnight. He followed the river to the lake, and coasted the iake, aud then groped his way toward the creek. But, after awhile, every step he took was franght with danger; and the night was far advanced when he at last hit off the ereek, as he thought. He hallooed; but there was no reply; hallooed again, and, to his joy, her voice replied; but at a distance. He had come to the wrong creek. She was further westward. He groped his way west- ward, and came to another creek. He hallooed to her, and she answered him. But to attempt the descent would have been mere suicide. She felt that herself; and

‘Why, we can talk all the same,’ said she, ‘and it is net for long.’

It was & cttrious position, and one typical of the relation between thim. So near together, yet the barrier so strong.

‘I am afraid you must be very cold,’ said he.

‘Oh, no; 1 have my seal-skin jacket on; and it 1s so sheltered here. 1 wish you were as well off.’ :

‘You are afraid to be alone down there?

‘lam not alone when your voice is near me. Now don’t you fidget yourself, dear friend. | like these litile excitements. I have told you se before. Listen: how calm and silent it all is; the plece; the night! The mind seems to fill with great ideas, and to feel its immorvality.’

She spoke with solemnity, and he heard in silence.

Indeed it was a reverend time and place: the sea whose loud and penetrating tongue had, mm sume former age, created the gully where they both set apart, had of lete years receded, and kissed the sauds gently that calm night; so gen:ly, that its long, low murmur seemed the echc of tranquilily,

The voices of that par sounded super- natural, one spesking up, and the other down, «nd the speakers quite invisible.

‘Mr. Hazel,’ said Helen, in a low, earnest voice, ‘they say that night gives wisdom even to the wise; think now, and tell me your true thoughts. Has the foot of man ever trod on this island before?’

There was a silence due to a question 80 grave, and put with solemnity, at a sulemn time, in a solemn place.

At last Hazel’s thoughtful voice came down, ‘The world is very, very old. So old, but the words ‘Ancient History’ are a falsehood, and Moses wrote but as yester- day. And man is a very old animal upon this old, old planet, and has been every- where. I cannot doubt he has been here.’

Her voice went up. ‘But have you seen any signs?’

The voice came down, ‘I have not look- ed forthem. The bones and the weapons of primeval min are all below earth’s surface at this time of day.’

There was a dead silence. voice went up again. Has no

Court Scandal in Berlin.

PRINCE FREDBRICK CHARLES NICOLAS ),AO- CUSED BY HIS WIFE OF IN®IDELITY,

Court circles in Berlin are stirred by a scandal which involves the two proud houses of Hohenzollern and Anhalt. The alleged culprit is Prince Frederick Charles Nicolas, the nephew of the Emperor, and one of the most distinguished Generals of the Franeo- Prussian war. His wife, the Princess Marie Anne, daughter of the Duke Leopold Frederick of Anhalt, lately discovered what she considers conclusive evidence of the Prince’s infidelity with a lady whois prom inent in the cuurt of the Empress Augusta. The Princess confronted him with the proofs of his guilt and demanded that he should abandon his unholy amours. A ter- rible scene resulted, and better recrimina- tions were exchanged.

The upshot was that Prince Frederick Charles absolutely refused to comply with the demand of the Princess that he should refuse to.speak to the lady, end that the Princess threatened. to institute a suit for divorce, There have l-een as yet no public proceedings regarding the scapdal, and the Berlin newspapers contain only the vaguest allusion to the effair. It is known, how- ever, that Prince Frederick Charles has submitted the question to the Emperor and agreed to abide by his decision

The Emperor, after expressing profound sorrow for the occurrence, dccided that a suit for divorce could not be permitted, but that a separation might be arranged after due provision has been made to protect the heritage rights of the Princess and her offspring.

A Terrible Experience.

The bark. ‘‘Truro,” Capt. Swain, was towed into Halifax, on Friday morning, with her foremast and jibboom gone, The “Truro” was bound from Rotterdam to New York and left the former port on the Ist December. Between the 23rd and 30th December, she experienced very heavy gales. On the latter day a heavy sea board- ed. the ship, carrying away her bowsprit, foremast and main-top-gallant-mast, with everything attached, sprung the main-top- mast and main-yard, and sweeping every- thing movable from off the deck. At the time the sea boarded her, the vessel was laid to with no sails set All that night until the next day the gale blew with unabated fury, accompanied by heavy snow squalls, the crew being engaged all night clearing away the wreckage, which was completed at daylight, and after rigging a jurymast and temporary spars the captain deeided to bear up for Halifax to effect repairs. On the 6th inst., one of the crew, named Charles Taylor, a native of Hastings, Eng., died from ex- posure and was buried at sea, and on the following day another one succumbed to the hardships of the voyage and the cold and was buried at sea; bis name was William Port and he was a native of Dartmouth, England. The “Truro”. is a bark of 895 tons register, she was built at Princeport, N.S., in 1878, and was re-classed last summer. She was owned by Mr. John B, Dickie, of Truro, and others.
