MV NUTULU'A UVMN. Like patient aaiut of oUUc time, With lovely foe* almost divine. Ho good, so beautiful and fair, % Her vary attitude a prayer; I heard her slug so low and swaot, "His loving klndnesa— ob, how gr**};" Turning bsMid the saintly Awe, Ho full of trust and paiirat grace. "lie Justly claims a song froui inc, His luving kindness— oh, how ftw;" Hwcctly thus did run the sung, "His loving kindness." all day long. Trusting, praising, day by day, She sang the sworteat roundelay— "He uear toy soul hath always stood. His loving kiudnesa— oh. how good. "He safely leads my soul along, His loving kindness— oh, how strong;" Bo strong to lead her on the way To that eternal Utter day. Where safe at last In that bleat home, All care and weariness are nse, She "sings with rapture and surprise His loving kindness in the skiee." AIJAVH KXtTBUOK . Now, Gctavia," said Mm. Olaod, 44do be a little careful to-day. Don't, for pity*i sake let your wild spirits ruu away witii you." OcUvia Gland, in her pink inualm draw, tied here and there witii jaunty little bows of ribbon, and a straw gypsy hat, garlanded with ponies, turned round, tlie very Incarnation of radiant glee. 1 'Mamma,11 ^ site, "why should you grudge me my holiday? "DouT I work behind Miss laitshawe's counter all the year, like any African slave? Do let me play I am a child again just this ouce." So this beautiful young Euphroayne danced away, leaving only the sweet echo of her laughter In the gloomy apartment, and Mia. Gland sighed. "She is so thoughtless," said the mother. * * And Duncan Ray and Harry Bolton are both going on this sailing party, and somehow I feel as if to-day were going to be the turning point of her life. t4I wish she could bring herself to like Duncan."He's a steady, uoble-*ouled boy, as his fatlier was liefore him, but there isn't uiuch outskle show about him. "And Bolton's a handsome, dashing young fellow, just the sort to attract any girl. But somehow I cau't quite believe in him." The day w as all sparkle and sunshine. The excursion steamer fluttering witii gay flag* a»«d the sound of music, glided along majestically. ,, The sea air breathed new strength into weary lungs, and touched fevered brows with mighty power; all these overworked sewing-girls forgot, for a brief while tliat life was nothing more tlian a treadmill to three. They laughed, they danced, I hey sang, they counted 41* glimmering saiis that leaned up against the horizon, and finally, when the boat landed, they all scattered in various directions ever the silver-shingled beach, in merry penult of shells, seaweed, and |*bbles as so many newly libeiated school-children might have done. a . , And Gctavia Gland, Uie prettiest girl in all this throng, reigned as a sort -of princess among them. "Mother Gary's Cushion?" said she, merrily, echoing Uie words of an ancient salt, who was mending his nets in a sunny spot, with an old pipe In his mouth, and a picturesque long beard blow tug about in Uie wind. "Isthat what they call yonder rock?" "Tliat 'ere's what they bails her by, lady-miss," naul the old sailor, his dim eyes resting with evident approbation on Gctavia's fresh young lilies and "'"And well it's knowed hereabouts," he sakl. "But why do they call it so/" persisted the girl. 44 Because of the cushion, my ladymiss." replied the fiahennau. "The Mffther Gary's chickens as cirelfl round tiie point, of a dark day, when tiiere Is a storm cornin' up. "It's a round rock, near tiie top— do you see?" pointing his knotty linger--"with gnws and moeee* growin' on it, in a circle, like a cushion. And aback of all the not end rocs. "There's them, my lady-miss," he added, "as has climbed to the very top, and sat on tiie cushion. "I an my sweetheart- as lias been dead lliese thirty years— did once. "But we didnt care to stay there long. I tell ye. "For the wind howled, and Uie seagulls shrieked, ami the tide roared like a hungry shark around us, and it was m much a* ewer we could do to gpl down again with whole bones." "Why, It doesn't look such a height," naki Bolton. "Mebbc not mebbe not," said the old man. "A quarter of a mile make* a deal o' difference in the looks of things. 44 And them a* ain't used to distances, can't calculate." And be went on with his work, while tiie little group strolled on. bright Gctavia with her ribbons and curia floating; Bolton carrying her shawl, and 1 Duncan Ray walking irileoUy on tiie otiw»r side. And just then another gay throng overtook thera, and there was a discus 1 slop as to where the site should be for their impromptu banquet; and preeent- > ly Duncan Hay looked around. "Where's OeUvfa?" he asked. Every body had some kind of an ■ answer to make. > Anrletts Hail bad seen her not five f minutes before. Helen Ray was quite certain that she was hiding behind the ruined boat-honae on the beach _ . Lois Fielding suggested that she had

probably gone bark to the steamer for a acout-boltlc, or a handkerchief, or some sucli trifle. "She'll be here presently,'* they all remarked. "In Uie meantime, let us get the lunch ready, for there's u dark little edge of cloud down in the West, tliat the captain says he don't like tlie look* of." Aud w here, all this time, was Gctavi Olaod V She was springing up the steep and wiudiug ledge of the lock, quicker and lighter than any mountain chamois, her veil floating back like a white wreath of mist, an exquisite scarlet dyeing her cheek. 44If other jieoplc can climb to Motiier Gary's Cushion, so can 1," said dauntless Gctavia, keeping her face resolutely away from the furious waves tliat lioiled mid raged below, lest perclianoe it should render her giddy. "And how astonished they will be when they see nu- waving my luiudkerchief to them from the ditty peak." I xing before the cold fowls, chickensalad and sandwiches were spread u|k>u tlie grass the captain caiue up from the steamer "Ladies and gentlemen." said lie. "I ain sorry to *|ioil sport, but there's a squall brewin' if ever there was oue, and we'll all lie safer well out at sen, than uu lhe.se ragged points of ruck, c*pecially as the tide is ooinin' in a deal faster than we calculated on. "So if you'll step lively , I sliall be particularly obliged." The ladies began hurriedly to roi*ck tlie. as yet, untouched nqmst, aud to gather up their liats, veils, iwrasols, and glove**, the geiiUemen looked around for shawl-straps, books, and baskets; and once again rau the question — "But Gctavia? "Where is OcUvia?" And Doraey Wheeler, attaining his eye* through the gray mist which was already beginning to gather over tiie landscape, exclaimed— "Who lias an opera-gUna? "I see something on tliat tall rock that seems to lean towards tiie watersomething, 1 am quite certain which moves." Tlie capUin produced his ilia. Though, to be sure," said he, "glasses ain't much good in such a plagucy Scotch mist as this. "But 1 declare there is something up there fluttering in the wind, like some one waving a signal of distress." Bolton snatclied the glass from tlie veteran'* hand, and hurriedly adjusted it to his own eyes. 44lt is GcUvia** veil, he said. 1 can see the pink flow cm, like little dots of ixilor, on licr head. "Good Heavens! and she has been mad enough to climb that rock, all for a spirit of crazy adventure." "It's a bad job for her then, air^" said tlie oW fisherman, who, leaving his nets to take care of themselves, luul mingled black pipe and all, in the general confusion. "For now tlie tide is in, there ain't nobody nor not hi n' can get near Mother Garey's Rocks. *If tiie wind rises, as it's going to do, as sure a* Heaven, she'll be Mowed into kingdom come at Uie very first puff." "Can nobody help licr?" cried tlie horrified group. Tlie old salt shook his head. " You'd only come to your own death," said he, "without helpin' her a mite. Tlfbre was a man killed there twenty-one years ago come Gctober. "lie " "We are losing time." said tiie captain impatiently. "There's a black squall driving up on the wind, and I'd not give much for our lives if we don't get clear of them confounded rocks. - "Of course, we're all sorry for the young lady: but so far as i can nee she Will have to take the consequence* of her own folly. It's impomible to risk a whole boatload for ber. "Lodien and gentlemen, all forward now, if you please. " But Duncan Ray stepped out from the ranks. "Bolton!" said he. '•McDowell! Christian men, all of you! Are you going deliberately off, to leave her to perish?" "1— I don't see that we can do anything," stammered Bolton. ''This good man says that we would i oajy risk our own live* to no purpose. " "And you must see yourself," added Mr. Launcelot McDowell, "that it i would 1* certain death to try to cross i tiie water, now that the tide » rising so \ fast." * "There's no time to parley!" said the captain impatiently. "The bell will ring directly, and who- • ever tint on boon! then, isn't on board at all! Kb! Where are you going, Mr. » Ray? "To tiie top of yonder cliff," answer- , ed Duncan, pulling hto hat resolutely over his brows, i "To reecue that girl, or die iu tlie at- ■ tempt!" But »t tiie same moment a slender I figure, with a sephyr shawl drawn light- ) ly over iU head, stepped out from liehind tiie old bulkhead (k tavi* Gland! r herself "Do not risk your life Duncan .

But I, myself, was fortunate i enough to make good my retreat before tlie dreadful wind got too high, j "Aud I came up luditiid you all, and heard you talk, and— and- Gh, Duncan n I can't hear to think of it alL " „ 8he covered her aye* with her hand a* Mae spoke, while with the other sin 1 clung cms* to Duncan Ray's arm, as U

it were a refuge beyond all computation. But all Uie way lack she never once coudusceiided to speak to llarry Bolton or Mr. McDowell; and when she returned home that evening she wan eugaged to Duncan Hay. "For I know now," *hc aaie, witii a little tumor in lier voice, "who, aud who alone, would have risked his life for such a silly child as 1 !*' And liarn* Bolton aud Launcelot McDowell felt like recreant knights indeed. When- llrrnd II ChM|». It was a sail, sail sight, in which was . blended tears and lauguter. Gu tlie Santa Fe train was a large family of . Germans. There were fathers aud mothers, brothers and sisters, and a raft of little ones. Sonic were able to , crawl up and sit on a seat, others were . still at tlie breast. They were all bound for the Neosho Valley. All were tired, hungry, and worn out from a four weeks' lossage. They luul left crowded ' Germany, where they had been struggling for sui existence, and they were going to their new home jn the New World. When tlie children cried for ' meat or something better than the stale 1 black bread tiie mothers hushed theui and told them that they would aoon be ' at l'ly mouth, beyond Emporia, where they would meet Uncle llelnrich and Aunt Lena, ami when they got out onto 1 the farm they would all have meat and milk. "G, it will be heavuu," said one of 1 the women, 44 to live in a country where 1 our children can have all tiie milk and 1 meat they want ! " > As tlie train luissed Einjioria, Ks., the |ioor Germans began to raise the windows and admire tiie beautiful country along the Santa Fe Road. Tlie next i station was to be tlie loug-h»!ied-for i new home. The motiient, wreathed in' • smiles, began to wash the children's faces for the last time. Then when thm rosy -cheeked children were fixed they ; took white liandkercliiefs out of their bags aud put them around their own i nekks. Poor women, they luul but one dress on earth, but as they were going to see brothers and sisters and neighbors - who luul been away from Germany and ' living iu Kansas for five years they wanted to look as well as they could. » "The next station is the place," said • a big, healthful German as he tied a blue handkerchief over his old. soiled collar, I " and here we'll never be hungry again. 1 Here my little babies can have all they want to eat." i "Willvour friends meet you at the f train ?" I asked, becoming deeply interested In the poor but now liti»py group, i " Ye*, they know we are coming this - week, and they'll be down at every traiu. 1 1 ein rich's farm is only two 1 mi lea off.*' » "There they are! waiting for us," i said the wife, stretching her head out of . tiie window, and sure enough tiiere was • a crowd of twenty American-Germans r on the platform as the train drew up. Soou the fathers and mother* led the , way off the train, carrying the big i bundles, the children following witii the dozens of little package*. As they I struck the platform brothers and sisters and fathers and children come together in a long embrace. Even.* eye was , dim mod with tears. Every voice faltered i ami every' throat choked with emotion, p It was tlie pother of great joy. But noou they wiped their tear* away and liegun to laugh and pat and smooth each . other on the back. Then the Kansas Germans led tbem across the street to a , hole! where a big dinner was ordered. r It was worth a day's travel to we those . appetite* appeased.
