Slowly, steadily, over the sands, And over the rocks to fall and flow ; And this wave has touched a dead man's hands, And that one has seen a face we know, They have borne a good ship on her way, Or buried her deep, from love and light, And yet. as they mink at our feet to-day, Ah ! who shall interpret their message aright ? For their separate voices of grief and cheer Are blended at last in one solemn tone, And only this song of the waves I hear, "For eve and ever 1lis will be done." Slowly, steadily, to and fro, Swings our life in its weary way ; Now at its ebb and now at its flow, And the evening and moruing make the day. Sorrow and happiness, peace and strife, Fear and rejoicing, its, moments know ; How, from the discords of such a life, Can the clear music of heaven flow | Yet to the ear of God it swells, And to the blessed round the throne, Sweeter than chimes of Sabbath bells - "Forever and ever His will be done." Selections, SONETHING ABOUT ANGELS. I asada letter the other day, signed Susan, asking me if there were female Ogres. 1 don't know you, Susan, there is such a perfume of the country about your name, a suggestion of green fields and dying sunset tints of the maple, and scenes of the kine coming home at evening to be milked, that I will not throw your annoymous letter to one side unanswered. I like your handwriting ; it does not run too much into feminine angles, but has a rownduess about it. 1 hope your hand is i freckled, but is a plump hand and fair as the milk that per- haps you occasionslly pass into the sweet- smelling dairy. Well, Snsan, there are Ogresses, but the most dreadful of thew sre not ugly or soft-voieed, and move in silk dresses, and after them to destruction. More bones whitened on the sands of of Sicily, near where the Sirens sang, more victims per- ished before the entrancing sweetness of Circe, than at the cave of the cruel Poly- phemus. "In the pathway of these Ogres- ses there are drunkards and lunatics and suicides ; but they smile as sweetly as ever, and lure more victims. Susan, we will turn from this picture, 1 want to about quietly speak about angels.

Thank God my eyes were not blinded too long, and that I can hang up the fabila sacer at having escaped from the clutches of one whose heart was a stone. She showed her hand and I fled from Mon Ange. Others have not escaped so well. The intentata nites has taken them in, and they have been drowned long since be- neath the treacherous waves; or if they reappeared, they are meek henpecked creatures. Poor Lakin, you had an angel once, and with what pride you showed her to me. Ican sev you now leading | her in, and she looking so innocent, with | her fair hair braided from her face.

She was only a poor work girl in a millin- ery establishment, and had hard times and poyr wages, yet out of her little pit - tance she brought more comfoft to one heart than perhaps you and I ever shall should we spend ten times her entire sal- ary. A poor crippled boy lived in an ad- jo luing room, a pale-faced youth, who used to creep to the window and look up at the little patch of sky, murky, smoky sky fur the most part, and at the little bunch of flowers that the Angel broaght him once or twice a week, and dream of the green fields so far away in the country, which he never hoped to see again till he looked down at them from heaven. The ragged little girl used "to look in every morning before gong to her toil and again spend a couple of hours with him st night. She comforted him with a sweet love, and told him truths from the blessed worde of the Great Teacher, and gave him hope that a time would come when his youth would be renewed, like the eagles, and he would stand unabashed in in the light of heaven. She was an An- gel. She saved a human heart from mis ety and shed a ray of comfort through the squalor and wrechedness of a London slum.

Fhere the Kentucy cuts its way throngh | the mountains, having upon either bank bold, rugged cliffs that rear their summits five hundred or a thousand feet, as the case | may be, above the streaui, there lived in | early times n settler by the name of Rufus | Branson, wha with his wife and only child | a charming little girl of some eight or nine years, occupied the rude cabin at the base of the precipice, a little back from the | river, Although greatly exposed to danger-- the Indians at that time being plent ful thronghout the region--he managed to live quietly for several years, The Indians frequently visited the rude house of the hunter, and being always welcomed, and provided with such food as might be in the larder, they maintain. od a friendly attitude. Especially they were fond of the child Maggie, and more than one fierce warrior had been sitting on the grass in front of the cabin, listening to the childish prat- tle of the little one, or else engaged in making it some toy or plaything frum the willow twigs or pliant bark. In this man- ner several years 'had been passed, apd Rufus Branson came to feel as secure as though he was within the walls of a fron- tier fort. One evening Branson and his wife were seated near the door way, when suddenly a shadew fell across the threshold, and the next moment a tall savage, whose reeling step and 'bloodshot eyes told that he was intoxicated, appeared, and staggered to long = r ok 1 tor Bre water, on ithe plea | that there was none in the house hich was of course refused, The Indian became cross and ugly, swear ! ng with terrible oaths that if the liquor wt produced fur ily Br was he woul m was a brave, d Alls ermined man, and alth Ivagdad necessity, yet he saw that he wonld e compelled to take prompt steps to pre rent the savage from executing his threats il the w hac made demonstration, which be & 3 tempting to draw his tomahawk, Branson | sprang upon him, knocked hin down with his fist, and then imwediately disarmed ! | and bound him where he lay. Waiting mi | deadly peri der the ! came I | white smoke d that drunken brute," answerad the settler lightly, but as he tarned away sid ster- ped juto the yard he muttered ¢ Like it 1 Well not much. The fellow must be watched. I was in hopes that he would not jhave remembered, but that lamp where my fist land=d was en>ugh, if noth- ing else, to recall the circumstance.' The summer passed, and they saw no more of the drunken guest. He failed to make his appearance. But as the leaves began to.fall, the settler one day while re- turning from hunting on the hills, and passing through a derge pieve of woods, caught sight of a figure lurking in the bushes, but which quickly disappeared. The figure was that an Indiad warrior, and Branson would have sworn that it was the Indian that he had knocked down and bound the previous shmmer. The know- ledge was not anyway comforting, and - he did not tell his wife of his discovery. It would alarm her, perhaps, without any good result. He simply told her he had discovered her tracks near by, aud that he and her child must stay within or close '0 the house while he was absent. Se veral days afterward Rufus Branson heard his dogs in the timber down by the river, and kuowing that they aever open- ed without good cause, he caught up his rifle and Hastened to where they were barking. The chase led hin several miles, and wher at last he got a shot that fin- ished bruin's earecr, he-found that. it was 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. \ Swinging Lis game to a tree, out of reach of cat or wolf, he started for home to get the old grey mare and return to fetch it that night. Taking a near cut he approached the cabin from the western side, where the timber grew heavy up to within a few rods of the building, and consequently he could not see the clearing or what might be tran. spiring there till he had passed through the wood. Thus it was that whem, within buts a very short distance of his howe, he heard a wild, piercing shriek, he could guess that suiething wrong niust be taking place beyond the screen of Lushes and leaves, Uttering a loud shout, that his presence might be sooner known, Branson sprang forward with the leaps of a wounded buck | a great fear at his heart, for he had only too clearly recognized in that scream the agonized voice of his wife. It took but a moment for him to clear the intervening timber and undergrowth, As he dashed out into the clearing, holding his rifle ready for instant use, he comprehended at one suft glance all that i taken place and what was further to ear. Near the end of the cabin, facing the clitfs of which I have spoken, stood the mother, her arms outstretched, and her staring eyes fixed upon the po. itous height up which the figure of an Indian ¢ My child ! my child I" was all that the woman said, and then Rufus Branson saw that the bundle borne in the Indian's arms was the form of their only child, Maggie. Firm of heart and with nerves as steady ment actually quailed and cowered under what his quick sense told him was the } of the little one. But he was quick to recover. The Indian was drawing away ; step by op he was increasing the distance, and as he ocemsionally glanced backward and downward, the parent could see in his hideously painted, conntenance the fell purpose which actnatedthe abductor. 'God aid me !" Branson muttered, as he raised his rifle, glanced through the sight, and tonched the trigger. The Indian started violently at the shot He was hit but not badly, and with ol of devilish triumph, he started upward, * Too low by a couples of inches, said a low, calm veice at.the settler's elbow. Branson started as though he himself had been shot. : Where has this man come from? Who is he 1 Neither had seen him approach. But this was not time for explanations, The stranger, a» man rather below than above' the ordinary height, whqse fine athletic form was fully irred y his closely fitting buckwkin garments, stepped quickly forward afew paces, and firmly planting his foot in pdvance, threw np an uwnasually long rifle, as though preparing to fire. ' For God's sake, stranger, be careful of wy child!" criel Branson, while the agonized mother uttered an inaudible pra- yor. 'It's our only chance. I know that Indian," was the quick reply, and the sharp efick of the hammer, as it was drawn back told that the dreadful moment had come. By this' time the Indian had nearly reached the summit of the steep. That he was wounded now became evi- dent, as upon a broad ledge of the rocks he rested a moment. . ] The opportunity was seized by the un- knowu " dition is a Bnsle.

If we ave rich, it is so easy fo get the efforts to free bimsélf, the savage rolled over and sunk into a drunken slumber. He did rot await' until .morning, but before he did so the settler quietly remov- ed the bonds and restored his weapons, which he laid ty the side of the sleeper. The savage on awakening rose to his feet felt the wrists as though the thongs had left a feeling there, took his weapons, and without speaking a word left and disappeared in the timber near by. ' What do you think of that' asked Rufus' wife, turning to her husband with a sacred look.

'My name is Daniel Boone," he said, and was gone. It is reported by a Missouri paper that ' Mr. Keep is kept in goal for keeping a valise that didn't beleng to him.'
