They hastened on, bnt had W gone far when they found that the sand was uow iu narrow strips, wit^^heeta of water between, but seeing a girl before them who was familiar witl^the beach, they cried: "What shall we do?" and ran forward. The rfrl. however, instead of going toward the shore, was running to meet them, and almost out of breath, cried: "The wave! the wave! It is coming! Turn, turn!?run. or wo are lost!" They did turn, and saw out at soa a large wave roliiug toward the shore. .Out of breath as they were, they yet aincreased their speed as they retraced >flie?r?8teps toward tiie rocks they had -jqgnLfeft. Tho little girl passed them : nSii$led the way. The two friends strainedevery nerve to keep pace with ' her, for as they neared the rock the ; wave still rolled toward them, the sand becoming gradually covered. Their lost few steps were knee-deep in wat&??-' "Qfilck! quick!" said the girl, "there ' is the passage to cross, aud it' the see- ' 01$ wave comes we shall l>e too late." 1 She Aid on for a few hundred yards till ^he came to a crack in the rock six or seven feet wide, along which the water was rushing like a niillsluice. "We arc lost!" said the girl; "I cannot cross; it will carry me away." "Is it deep?" said Cross. "Not very," she said?"but it is too strong." Cross lifted the girl in his arms, plunged into the stream, and though the water was up to his waist he was i soon across. I His companion followed, and all the three now stood on the rock. "Come on. come!" cried the girl; , "we are nearly safe!" and she led the way to the highest point of the rocks, and on reaching it cried: "We are safe , now!" All were thoughtful for a moment. ] as they saw the danger which Cod had delivered them from; looking round, the sand was one sheet of water. < "We are quite safe here," said the girl, "but wc shall have to stay three or four hours before we can go to the shore." "What made you forget the tide?" said Cross; "you must know the coast well." "I did not forget it." she replied, "but I feared, as you were strangers, you would De UroWDPU. ;iuu i r;iu uatu iu toll ycu what to do."

Hope took the little girl in his arms and kissed her. and said, "We owe you our lives, you brave little maid." Meanwhile the water was risin? rapidly, till it almost touched their feet. "There is no fear," said the girl; "the points of the rocks are always dry." "Cold comfor:." said Hope, looking at them, "but what shall we do for our younir friend?" he said to Mr. Cross. "If we pur all the money in our pockets Into a handkerchief and tie it round her neck, it will warm her. I warrant, for she looks cold enough."

They had some hours to wait before they could venture on the sand, and it was quite dark before they reached the beach, but at length, guided by the lights on shore, they gained their own home in safety, not unmindful of Him who says to the proud waves: "Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed."

James Poole, formerly a Portland real estate man, has returned from the North, after a two years' absence, a portion of which time he was locked in the ioe on the shores of Kotzebue Sound. He left here in June, 1S9S, on board the schooner General McPhcrson. Mr. Poole's venture in the North has not proved a profitable one, as he left Nome ten days before the gold beach excitement broke out. and has not found it convenient to return to that point, while Kotzebue, he says, has proved a delusion and a snare. About SCO adventurers wintered at - -t- Ml. + KotzoDue alter xue rusii tuuun, uui i tlie place is now deserted except by I a few hundred Eskimos, whose reg- | uiar winter quarters are in the shelt- | ered nooks near by. He says the re- ! port of Kotzebue's rich diggings arose j from the fact that the aborigines had i bartered nuggets for food and cloth- j ing with the captains of whaling Tes- ! sols visiting that region, but the gold evidently had been picked up on the shores of Nome, to the southward some 500 miles. He said the sensation of being inclosed by icebergs during a long arctic winter was not so unpleasant as one might imagine, as the days are seldom less than six hours long, and j access to the shore is usually easy. The General Merherson's decks were I roofed over in the fall with lumber j brought from Portland, aud this gave < ^ , \ lier tue appearance 01 a iiouse sur- | rounded by stationery icebergs. Further out toward tbe Arctic Ocean tbe great walls of ice took the appearance of windows, as tbe motion of tbe ! waves piled them up in parallel lines. When tbe break-up comes in tbe spring'the real danger to shipping is in being carried out by tbe floating islands of ice, to be crushed, perhaps, between great masses in motion. From bis acquaintance with tbe I Eskimos of that region, . Mr. Poole judges them to be of Chinese or Jap- j anese origin, there being a strong re- i semblance in appearance, build and ' language. They are peaceable aud ; honest, and quite willing to act as guides for the whites, who employed them to a considerable extent while prospecting along the banks of tbe { streams emptying into tbe sound.They j live by fishing in tbe summer season, i putting up large quantities of the sal- 1 tuon, which abound in great numbers j in the streams.

He is in danger of becoming so much attached to his plans that he will persist ir? them not only in the face of human obstacles, but in tj^e teeth of God's denials. He will, not take no even from tli Almighty.

One could not follow the discussions of the Ecumenical. conference without feeling that the Protestant world, at least, b coming to a new ap-' prehension of what the Gospel saves men from. And are we not also beginning to see that the beginning and the power of this new life are to be found in the act of coming to Christ and taking his yoke upon ourselves? It is He and not our theories or machinery that gives rest.

The Call of riirlnt. There is no element in human life so pregnant v.iih tragedy ns the power of the human will ti> resist the appeal of Christ. It is possible to be within reach of perfect good and not t?? see it. It is possible to see.it and not desire it or so desire it as to secure it. We would need to be treated like shfcp and be driven to our pasture: we are treated as men. and so we miss our way stnd lose our life. For Christ will not overpersuude any man. For the success of his appeal he depends upon the conviction of the individual. We must for ourselves reach our own conclusions about him. Our treatment fo the call of Christ is the central determining act in our history, as the fact of such a call is its redeeming factor. Nothing lifts human life to its true level but this call. It is this which glorifies and gladdens our sad, defeated, stained existence. Speak Often of the Dead.

Chinese Shop Signs. The signboards (chao-pal) of the i shops form a very curious feature in the streets of a Chinese town. These I signs, as well as notices of the wares sold, are inscribed in large characters on both sides of pretty lacquered perpendicular boards, which are occasionally fastened up, but very frequently hung up outside the shop fronts, so as to attract the attention of passersby; with this view long large strips of cloth are very commonly hung across the street, on which the names and designations of the shops are stamped or painted.
