The signal most show and there's an end of it " Grace had not been able to see what he was about, but in reality, from the moment that he had seen the rocket emerge from the misty sea, he had been busy for it was a special duty he was placed there to perform. From a small case that looked as if it might inclose a fishing-rod, he took a piece of iron rod, about four feet in height, one end of which was spiked and sharpened, and by that means he stuck it up in the scant loam that covered the chalk cliff. This iron rod wais hollow, and in the upper end of it he inserted what looked like an iron saucer, with a projection at its under side, to fit into the hollow of the tube. Into that saucer then he broke what looked like a cartridge. Another moment and he had lit a match, which lie protected in tLa hollow of his hand. Be. placed the match in the saucer among the contents ox the seeming cartridge. There was a slight evolution of smoke and then a b^utiful blue flame shot upward and cast its radiance upon the old cliff and streamed cMit upon Ike Qiist and the se^ The man had at the ;nomient of lighting this beaconr fliftag himself flat in the hollow, hollow led by an im^lar; cbt tj^e young girl had ris^ from her crouch- vn a jagged, slippely and mg pOsitibfa'to her feet and the beautiful dame shone on her fair face and clustering ringlets, making her look like something more than mortal in her wondrous beauty and for a moment oi* two so mazing the eyes of Joseph that he was unable untu he had gazed upon the lovely vision for some time t« recollect that he ought to remove her from proximity to the light, even as he had r^ntved himself, and then he cried " Oh, Miss Grace â€" Miss Grace â€" don't stand there. The captain will see you with his night glass, and you know what he is ^hen he has his fits of rage upon him. Don't stay there." " Oh, how beautiful " With a whirling rush, in a moment more, the mist disappeared from the face of the sea it was encountered by a fresh breeze from the southeast, which crumpled it up like a scroll *^ in the fire, and in an instant chased it away thousands of miles to far-off â- "A ocean^ pr^ decomposing it, caused it to fall i^to the hnge Atlantic in millions of spark- ling particles. Bright, beautiful and state- ly to them appeared the broad disk of a full moon in the east, and in an instant every wave was crested with the glow of molten silver. The huge cliffs reflected back the brightness, and earth, air and water became each moment more suffused with the gentle lustre of the. glorious satellite. ' Beautiful, oh, beautiful " again cried Grrace, as a^ clasped her hands and stepped yet closer toi the verge of the beetling cliff. The scout had flung » heavy piece of tarpaulin over the blue-ught and extinguish- ed it. " Spikes and bolts " were the only words !i«s^ld£diiiiMttredâ€" the expression being a favorite one in the way of exclamation, and meaningless in all other respects.

The scene Cfatt-nolr took ^iaoe, at adis- twaee of aoi nmre thaa three-qnarton of a mile from the shore, was deeply interesting^ and as seen by the soont and by Grace fronk the clifF-top, had a straage aspect of near* ness, and yet dJMxmneetion- with them, tiiat imparted, to it a curious and mysterious character. Still tearing along thrpngh the water, with every inch of caanraoi mii oonld carry, oame the king's ship, and it was quite evi dent that she decreased the «^w t^ »1^f* oetween her and the cutter at a rate that was, or that should have been, very alarming to the latter: Btitto the surprise of '411 on board the Spray, doubtiess, it was evident that the Kift was shortening sailâ€" shortening sail just as she might have done had she been quietly beating in to some friendly port, with no enemy, intentnpbn her destruction, at her heels. That A contest had taken place between the two, little vessels was evident from the condition of some, of the top-hamper of the schooner and a white jagged: streak, that looked splinter-like, on the side of the Rift; seemed to indicate that a shot or more had struck her, still thjs shortening sail â€" this cool embaying herself with her implacable foe rushing on the wings of the wind behind her and now as sheâ€" tiiat is the cutter â€" was cut off from some of the breeze by the pro- jecting headland, that foe made three feet to one in progress of its chase â€" ^what could it mean « Bang bang went the two stem guns of the schooner and the dense smoke then broke over the king's ship and for a few moments wrapped it up in thatcloudof its own creat- ing. Then what the cutter meant to do seemed to be appareotcâ€" xidicnloijsly appar- ent, congratulatingly apparent â€" to all on board the king's ship â€" ^madly apparent. To fight! Yes, surely the cutter Rift meant to fight, to have a ship-to-shm set-to with the Spray â€" ^to engage a vessel double its size, with four times its force-â€" a king's ship, well man- ned, heavily armed and with nothing to fear that miserable little cutter â€" fleet as a bird, but only ever finding safety in flight. That cutter, with its ten men and four guns Fight yes that must surely be it and it had chosen the more still waters of the bay for the contest. It can mean nothing else, it is in a trap. The tall cliffs are on her bow â€" the Spray on her track â€" the headland to starboard and a long line of beetling cliffs well to port. Shut in â€" caught â€" sacrificed A wild ringing cheer came over the water it arose from the crew of the Spray, who for fourteen weary months hiid done nothing but chase, cruise and lose the Rift. It was a special duty of the Spray to capture, sink, blow to atoms and burn the Rift, and now they had her â€" now, now "Hurrah, hurrah!" How that ringiiig cheer came upon the idght wind how it echoed from the bold face of the old clifiGs and surged back again to the sea. " Hurrah, hurrah " And no sound from the Rift. On â€" on still it took its light, sptu-kling way â€" ^beautiful in the now viery faint beams of that still glorious, though partially obscured, moon. Shot after snot from tiie Spray tore over the snriace of the bay, and Grace on the cliff top swooned in dismay as she seemed to see each of those dgsi^^ missiles winging through the dear heart her Gertild, whom she loved so well â€" her own dear brother, who was all the world to ber.

THB FIRITE BBOVGHT TO BT A BOT. It was early dawn on the morning oi that ssoue day, tiie evenins of which had seemed to chiae so disastrously for the smu^ling cutter Rift, that, looking like a sea bvd in the Wintry mist that hung upon the water, she slowly fought her wAy against eimpfA *â- . head- wind wiwin a few miles ot the French coast. ' Dim and indistinct, wfth only here and there a headland that rose into a more prominent relief i^gainst the leadened coloir- ed sky, appeared the coast hills. A baffling^ yriad at times threw the Rift a point or two out of her course, and a peculiar wash of the, sea once or twice nearly broached her to. " Keep her easy " roared Captain Dolan, as he suddenly emerged from his cabin, with ' an infl^oned coimtenance and every appear- ance of having indulged in early potations. " Keep her easy Is it headway or leewa^i that the lubber is making Where's the Co- quette " " Why, I take it," growled Ben Bowline, ' the mate of the cutter â€" " I take it that she is rounding the headland, thereaway." "Ah!" Cwtain Dolan sprang on to the carriage of one of the two guns that the Rift, when out at sea, got up from her hold and prepared for service. He took a long look in tiie direction of the French coast and ran his eye from bay to headland, and along the narrow, bright bit of sand that marked a portion of it, and then pausing in his search he said " I see her. As lubberly as usual â€" ^yawn- ing about like a dead whale. Keep off a pomt, Martin. That will do. Let her come out with her cargo. I won't hug the shore for any Frenchman that lives." " Ay, ay, sir " The course of the Rift was slightly altered a point to the north and the light canvas she carried strained more easily to the wind. The foam rippled past her with a freshening noise, and she evidently made more headway than he had done. Captain Dolan looked from one to the other of his crew with a scowling brow, and then, waAing his hand imperatively, he cried "All aft here! All aft!" The smugglers emerged from all parts of the cutter and gathered in a disorderly throng a little aft of midship, when Dolan, in a hoarse, harsh voice, addressed them "It's share and share alike, shipmates; in^ all our ventures, except two for the captain and one for the Rift. It's share and sha,re alike of all danger but I know there a,i€ some of you who tUnk, because I said this should be the last year of the Rift with me as her owner and captain, that I meant to play you false and, like old Morgan of the Wisp that you have all heard of, sell cutter and crew to the Philistines, as the last good speculation of captain and owner." A growling kind of murmur passed among' the crew, wmch it would have been difficult tp toke for either Msent or dissent with any certainty. Captain Dolan paid no heed to it, but proceeded, while a flash of indescribable cunniiig and malignity came from his eyes. " But," he roared, " but I am going to prove to you all tht I can't and wont ber teay you. To smuggle is one thing â€" ^to fire on. a icing's ship is another one is fine and iii)prisoDment â€" the other is death " A look of deepening interest came over the faces of the crew, and the iban at tiw whe^lfeaoEid heavily- on l^e iron spokes, as he be^t forward to catch all that passed. ""^ou hear that, all of you, " added 0olatf in a high, cracked voice. "My sM^rdOTb own boy, Gerald â€" sixteen years of age. Eb ha ha You see, I laugh.

Those who think that industry, however assiduous, and preparation, however thor- ough, will produce as good rOsulte where talent is absentand tastes areaverse aswhen they coincide err exceedingly. Nothing can give, that living power, that keen insight, that Warm enuiusiasm, which vitolize en- deavour and breathe a soul into labour but a nature attuned to and in love with the work in hand. The expression, a bom ar- tist, or poet, or teacher is notwithout a real meaning, though olten misunderstood. It doesnot mean tnatsuch a onecan ever rise to greatn^S9 in tij^ese directions without assidu- otts'effort anji pureful preparation, but that lie has within him those qualities which, if developed, may lead to hei^ta perhaps un- known. The Harrei^ Moon. The phenomenon known as the harvest- moon is altogether ' independent of harvest vad of terrestrial latitude' and longitude. The nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox^ ^en the sun is in Libra, is the proper harvest-moon.
