Pharisee and Saddueeo.
To church the two together went,
Ihith doubtless on devotion bent:
The parson preached with fluent easo
On Pharisees and Saddueoos;
And as they homeward slowly walked
The lovers on the sermon talked;
And he?he deeply loved the inaid?
In soft ami tender accent said:
"Darling do yon not think that wo
Ate Pharisee and Sadduceo?"
bhe flashed on him her bright I lack eyes,
In one swift look of vexed surprise,
And then he hastened to aver
lie was her constant worshipper;
"Hut, Mary, I insist," said he,
"That you are very fair, I see;
I know you don't care, much for me,
And that makes me sad, you see."

BY C. C.
"Captain Yaunhan wont down with
tilc HK?ip "
That was tlie report, that reached
home when the news came of the loss
of iho good ship "Ileatnce," oil the
Sandwich Islands, in a great storm.
"The life-boats were lowered and
tilled, and while the captain stood
upon the quarter-deck, commanding
th? loading cf the boats, the ship
sank."
There was much more description
tn the papers that I had obtained fioni
a file of three years' hack. Three
years, past in illness, exile, and sore
poverty, before I obtained passage
upon a homeward-hound vessel.
For I am Captain Kichard Yaughan.
who wont down with the good ship
" licufiice."
The rush of the storm comes to me
in my sleep, as it came to mo when I
sank, with Clara's name upon my lips,
never hoping to rise again.
Hut rise I did in the blackness of
nigbt, and catching a floating spar,
kept above the angry waves till the
storm lulled, and daylight crept over
the waters. It was many hours later
when 1 was picked up by a disabled
French vessel with tho ship fevw
raging aboard, and short of hands
from its fatal ravages. I gave willing
work there, till the fever fastened its
cruel giip upon me, and I tossed in
delirium while we took in a cargo of
gum* and spices, had the vessel repaired,
and I was still unconscious ol
all around mo, when she sailed away,
leaving rue.
All my savings were invested in
tho "Beatrice."
It would he too long a story, to
detail all the puseries and hardships
ol those three years until I lauded in
England, and sat in a newspaper
office, reading an account of the
wreck of tho "Beatrice," and my own
obituary.
I had worked my passage from my
last port, and had my wages in the
pocket of my coarse sailor's suit, and
I was waiting for a train to take inc
to tho little English villy.go that
was my home.
Home ! Clara !
Those were the word/ that braced
my heart for all the rough encounters
ot the past three yearn, and yet, within
a lew hours' ride ol them, my
courage was fail'.ng tnu. What might
not have happened in three years ?
Death mi^jht have come?illness,
poverty.
I wa'a not a young man, having
reached my fiftieth year; my beard
si'.d whiskers were dappled with grey,
and my lace was bronzed by exposure.
In my youth they called me handsome,
and my form was still straight,
my teeth firm and wbite, my eyvs
large and bright in spite of the snow
on my hair and the lilty years scored
in my life.
Clara was much younger. Five
years belore I married her lor true
love's sake?my first love and my
last. She was the daughter of a fel
low townsman, who was my true
friend lor yea if, and from the time
she was a toddling baby, Clara had
been called my "little wile." Every
time I returned Irom a voyage tny
cabin wun stored .with presents for
Clara till her lather's cottage was a
perfect muaeuni of foreign curiosities,
and her wardrobe was the envy ol all
the village girls.
When she was nineteen I asked
her to be my w ifo in truth, as she had
been so loug in name. She looked

Wo took a year's cruise on the |
"Beatrice" tor a wedding trip, and a
lew month's alter wo canto home
a blue-eyed babo lay upon Clara's
breast.
I loitered at homo for nearly six
months, and then, kissed wile and
child lor farewell, wringing my latherin.law's
hand hard, I lott once more
to start upon that ill-fated voyage
when the "Heatrice" was wrecked,
and "Captain Yaughau went down
with the ship."
Alter reading tho whole report of
the wreck, I came to tho conclusion
that I Inn) no husincea to he alive.
No one, with tho tales ol eye-witnesses,
the letters from the few wito were
saved, the evidence on all sides, could
ever believe that I, Pick Vaughan,
1 captain ol the "Beatiice," could ho
still in existence, lint there 1 wag,
' |
and a lew hours later I would be at
home.
I bit it seemed as il the chanter of
| my misfortunes was never to bo finished,
lor the train nu t with an accident,
and wo woro kepi all night upon
lho road. So it happened that tin?
church bells were ringing h>r Sunday
morning service, when at last, altera
two-mile walk, I entered the village
wherein lay my homo. It occurred to
me at once that il I lollowed the little
stream ol people entering the church,
I could see il my wile and her lather
were alive. They would he in church,
probably
But I did not wish to startle Clara
by rising suddenly lrom my grave in
the sea, so I stole into a.quiok corner
and watched the people as they came
jn. My heart beat so fast that it
seemed to suffocate mo as I saw her
come at Inst, her close widow's cap
shading her nut brown hair and her
pale cheeks.
Never had I seen that dear lace so
sad and so white. She grieved lor
me !
Her black dress had no si<in of re
turning brightness about it, being
sombre and heavy, with a lung crape
veil from the black bonnet.
My wile! my little love! How I
longe I to spring out, fold her in my
arms, and see the brightness come
back to her bonny brown eyes and ilio
delicu'e Hush to her cheeks, lint I
would not! This first meeting was
too sacred lor alt these curious eyes to
w ituess.
tSo I nestled against the pillar that
screemed ine, and listened to the service.
1'resent ly the clergyman read
distinctly the banns between William
Hudson and Clara, widow o( the late
Captain liicbard Vaughan.
The whole place reeled and grew
black bcloro ir.e. H I did not actually
faint, I lost all note of time and nlace.
I '
Ii 11 the sexton shook mo gently, and I
looked up lo find ho and 1 were alone
in the church. 1 reeled out, upon the
porch, hearing but not heeding the
Hex ton's comment:
"A drunken sailor."
Cut in the air, a mad desire to face
.my wife, to know il I was in truth so
utterly forgottou seized me. 1 remembered
well having heard of William
Hudson, although I had never
seen him. His father was an iron
manufacturer ol immense wealth, and
the owner of u superb residence, newly
built, when I was last at home.
* ?
The son was then abroad, but report
represented him as a very hand*
some, accomplished man of twentythree,
courtly, as was to he expected
from a well-bred koii of a wealthy
man.
He was nearer Clara's age than I
was; was he also nearer her heart
than her old husband had ever been?
I hurried over the (auiiliar road, lor*
taring myself with these questions,
and i must havu rushed over the
ground at headlong speed, for beloro
1 reached the cottage 1 saw a little
black-robed figure ahead o! me, that i
recognized at once.
Again the instinct that warned me
to spare her the shock ol my sudden
appearance made me pause and allow
her to enter the gate in lront ot the
cottage, while 1 stole round the fence
and went in the rear gate.
From a clump ol shrubbery, covered
thickly with summer loiluge, I, well
hidden, could see aud hear a11 thai 1

My faiher-iii.lu w was llicro when I
liiht looked in, reading a paper with
his eyes restlessly watching lor some
one lo come.
I < 1 i?1 not mean to ho an eavesdropper.
1 scarcely know t\hy I waited,
hidden and watchful, lor Clara to
come.
When she did come it was with
flashing eyes and crimson cheeks, such
as L had never seen before. Her voice
too was raised lo an angry pitch of ex
citement ?itit?? new to me.
'Father!'she cried, 4 who has dared
to tell Mr. Hates lo read the banns
between William IhoUon and my
sell?'
"1 did!' was the shori reply.
"You! you!'
"Yes, 1 diil. You have trifled with
Mr. Hudson long enough.'
"I never trifled with bi n '
"Ho has asked you twice to he his

"And I huvo twice refused that
honor.'
"But you shall marry him! lie is
immensely rich, and will lake you to

him now that the banns are published.'
"Father! father! how could you?'
"Fray what arc your objections to

All the excitement was ?,'one from
from Clara's lace. She seumed to feel
stifled by the net gathered around
her, for she pressed her hand to her
heart as it in pain. In u dull tone she
said, wearily:
"I will never marry Mr. Hudson. I
do not love him.'
"Come, that is an obi excuse. You

and gave him an nfl,ac.linn such as a

I groaned aloud as my wife spoke,
hut not hearing me, she continued:
"Hut it I did not love my husband

"Very romantic!' sneered my obi
friend, and I wondered what I had
ever found to like in him
"Then my baby came,' said Clara,
"and my child's father became to mo

Then sith a sudden piteous wail she
ci ied out:
44Oli, my husband! my own dear
lunhand! why arc you not here to love
and proiect tin-?'
1 could not hear the pleading in her
voice. Unmindful now of the danger
of startling her, anxious only to lake
her from the tyranny that oppressed
her young lite, I stepped from my
hiding-place, :unl went to tin; porcli.
Ax my footstep rung out there Clara
grew deadly pale, lo r breath suspend
ed, her eyes diluted with a ienrlul
hope.
lireathleKMly she listened till I stood
in the door-way, when with a great
cry ot rupture, she sprung into my
open ui iwh, and lain ted there.
Her tut loi-, sitting tmlt upright,

indeed I had h right to be. 1 curried I
Clara oil" beloro his eyes, across the
hall to our own room, and there I won
life back ta her while lace and stilled
pulse.
She could only cry, nestled close in
my arms, for a long, long time, hut
her weeping was so quiet, and she
clung to me so happily, that I, like an
old idiot, let leaia fall Irom my own
wyes upon her sofljiair.
When she had *ept herself quiet
she told me of our baby, and how the
whole world seemed dark and desolate
to her when it died.
Then she kissed both my eyes, and
bidding mo not to stir, she vanished
behind the great artu-chair in which 1
was sealed.
She moved soiuly to and fro there
and suddenly name in front of me all
dressed in soil white muslin, with
knots ot Mint ribbon at Iter throat and
in her hair, and the gold ear-rings and
broach 1 gave her shining in llojir
places.
'I will wear black no more, now
you are conn*," she said. "I cannot
mourn, even for my baby, when llcav

The dinner -bell rang as she spoke,
and there wis quite a little scene with
