ONE OUT OF FOUR.
_.-m
A ron down to the coast, a sniff of sea-air,
and a ba tn are not bad refreshers and restora?
tives after hard work and anxiety* in London;
at least I thought so as I started from Victoria
- -with a headache, a leather-bag, and a Atm in?
tention Ot spending a day at the Warden at
Dover. The slow early train which conveyed
me and my accompaniments stopped, at every
Ti. station, the names of which the porter* loudly
i :proclalmod by zoological noises, probably ro
teHigisle to themselves, bat not to my ears
suggestive- of any Brittan locality. Boys
. .. ?a with shrill voroea endeavored to persuade me
to ptirchaBe toe morning papers, and thrust
-funny canoona mader my node; others pro?
posed oom plicated exchanges of periodical Iite

' to the tempters, and even rejected the prof
Hared conversation of a coi paient gentleman

a white heat, who informed me that it was a

orological fact wbicb had not escaped mr ob?
servation ; but as I wished to repose my fragile
frame andi? sooth my nervous system, I had
no desire'for discussion. . '
Shortly ooforo entering Dover, the "engine
? - ': ma aeizpd with an internal derangement,
, .which caused a stoppage and increased the
oneortainty of my piroceMxIirjge. Daring th;s
-delay, my drat plan was finally annihilated by
- . tho - soduorions of the quaint little town where
we were detained. Its old red-brick houses

"" Upon maki og inquiries of an intelligent in?
habitant as to the cause^of the disturbance, I
found that tho Doiae waa the precursor of s
wedding, which was about to be "celebrated"
-r- :art the church behind the raUtog.
.&i - -qL'BOniy one of our boatmen,'sir-one of
.-aar seaf*nng folVfl," remarked a sailor BUnd
' 3ng af,'the door, removing-to facilitate expec
teration-a pip? from a large month bordered
with spots or aohdifled tob. coc-J trice. 1 "iht

g ' 'Pretty Poll Sown tere. What s sight of fel
' ' 1 Icrws-baa boco in 'lots, s tons; oTiex 1 She was
' always changing'em; batanes caught now,
anyhow." '
-These brote excited my cariosity, and I en
laired. Tbe wedrhig was "on."
l ue broad back of the bridegroom edt the
pretty wmiBt of the bride, as they knelt, first
caught my eye.
~ s ?' Beseemed to take the affair as coolly aa if
las had been splicing a rope or scraping a spar.
** -Th? lady teemed hnpreeeed bx the solemnity
-. r whioh BTxxTOunded her. She -was not by any
?.PX means ons Of the common objects of the sea
r> attorn. Ber dark barr; blight cheeks and

.Jogne fish-girl, with oeep-brua eyca aoft and

' . SaOae, wa? g race mi and well proportioned, and
ter bind as she bold it ont to receive the ring,
though r?i her dark in color, was small and
well shaped,
v 'My friend with the pipe was right; she was
-'. ' decidedly a very pretty girl, or, as he called
her, *'& tidy craft." .
She was dressed in silk for the occasion; but
fa spite of her smart attire abe looked subdued,
?nd ber face had a thought lui and rather sad
- -expression-not unusual, I am informed, at
' weddings.
The marriage waa soon over, and she left
..'; the eburno loaning ratner clumsily on the arm
of her lord. As they walked through tbe
churchyard, among the simple bat well-kept
pavee, 1 observed that the burly boatman and
Jua fair-eyed partner stopped before one or the
( mounds, which, was distingniabed by & plain
wooaen CTOes. .
This little monument waa not new, but
- showed tbe wear and wasting of more than
, one winter. .
Tbej only paused for a moment, but it was
long erjoughao give nae another glance at the
bndeV race as abe turned partly round; and
. i .ber blue eye? resting on the croea bad a lcok
. - so mournful and pensive, that I fancied, if I
had been nearer, I migbt have aeon a tear steal
. -downher cheek. ?
. ,The Iitile group of people aoon dispersed,
?'-?nrjfrost sight of them. The churjh was
locked np arid'the churchy ard deserted, except
by aomeboys, who began s game of bide - and -
?eek among the tomba, and a few idle sailors,
who seemed to find the grave-stones cool an J
womfcrtablo seato on a hot day.
' It ia touching to find that our ose/uloees
doee pot always end with life.
I ?pent some boora lastly on the shingle,
throwing pebbles into the water, and watching
thennauaathey rippled to tbe land or died
away out to ees, lill the cravings of a sharp?
ened appetite drove me to the nearest inn. lt
?waa hot in any respect like the Warden, but
it T?B ab.e to ?apply my fi agni wanta in the
saual British faanioo.
When the san was sinking in the west, cast
- hog long shadows aeon tbe shore and tinging
the white sails with xeJ, I Ut a cigar and strol?
led oat along the sea, away from tbe town
Tho rows and terraces or brick ceased- the
houses first became semi-detached-theu de
Uchod-then straggling; and I soon esme to
the last cottage.
It wa? ?arroanded by a garden a few yards
Vida, which st one time bad Deon carefully oma
sauted with paths of sifted shingle, large
Bodalea ol flint, shells, and other homely dec?
orations. But it waa now neglected; the bord?
ara were overgrown, the flowers dead, and
etches of long tangled grass reminded me of a
^gotten Rravo. Two small windows in the
oottajre overlooked the beach and reflected the
SS?B^r,^ 8M- The whitewasheu
-th? ea*tward, ?? 'f they had
?rn^,?dB ioat h?d blown against
them for more than a centory. while the thatch
on the root waa dry and shining
The door stood open, and 1 looked in The
outer room served as a boataman's etorehonnA
and man nearly full of boals gear. Old S'
blocks and tackles, and tar-brashes were ira
?aeroOP, colls ot rope hang on the walls to?
gether with oil-skm costa, lanterns, pots of1
pitch, and nets io various atetes of repair
while the floor was strewn with Drosen, oars
?nd piece* of dnft-wood, probably cast np
dnring the gales that sweep that dreary coaBt
?Ter? winter.
Tbe Taner room was olean sod teat; some
statical pictures hong over the mantlepiece
.pd B olock with a melancholy face ticked in
ute corner.
Tnpugb the weather was hot, a fire was !
JS1Dl,.?5>,r*t^er ?nnonldenng, m s little j
?tove, by the aide of which etod a vacant 1
I chair. As I entered, m old mas, wno si
the window, looking listlessly ont to
raised his eyee.
'.Will yon let me take a light, my friend
'.Certainly, air," said be, rising and stii
the coals in the ship's stoye, the oh ?inn ey.
of which passed ont of one of the windows
The old man, as he stood np, looked
mn ch like the cottage he lived in. In his
he had been upright and strong; but
hardwork and rough weather, bad bent
earthward. His silvery hair was dry and
"like the thatch, and his gray dreamy eyei
fleeted the sunlight, and Beemed to tie
"With his heart, and that was far away.
I asked him if he lived ali alone.
"I do now, Bir, since my old woman di
two year ago come Christmas."
"Don't yon feel dall all by yourself?"
"Il is very lonely like; but I don't care fa
people much now, they're all so busy
their own concerns. I was busy, too,
once," , ?
Here the old fellow hun? bis head
sighed. As he paused, I answered that t
were many people who were not altege
taken up with their own aflairs, and who w
be glad to come and cheer him up and
with him.
.'Well, sir, the parson does come to
sometimes. He is a kind man, and was i
to me in my trouble-I like to hear his ste
the door. He don't talk one to death,
tell? mo what I can uDderstarid-for l'a
scholar-ho tells me we shall meet up al
with those, we've parted from down here."
Ho seemed quite overcome by the few w
be had said, and bis eyes wa3 full of tear
he turned to the window and stood for e
time gazing silently ont to eea.
How I pitied this solitary man in his old
bereft of his helpmate. He seemed so
and yet BO resigned and hope'ul. I fait a g
wish to hear something more of his life; bi
did not like tn press him to tell me his s
just tben, so I continued puffins,m.- ciga
silence, to give bim time to recover bis
rsnity.
Afters long pause he began ag un, an
listened.
"This time two years ago, sir, my g
trouble came upon me; I can't get over it,
never shall now. Every lime the fall ot
year comes round, a?d the leaves begin
drop, and the wind to roar at night, I seem
live it all over again."
"It ie two years, is it, eince your poor 1
diea ?"
. "It ia two years, sir, since my wife and
boy Joe and me lived bere altogether. Tl
two boats as you see a little way down
beach were ours then. We had a third tot
'galley-punt;- but I've sold them two now,
I snail never go afloat again. My boy an
could set a cojpd living ont of thom. TI
was not moen doing in summer time, nor
rn smooth weather, but we used to s;o out v
tho boee or the nets; and sometimes we'd m
a good take of mackerel, and sell many seor
them to the London people., And BO. we r
bed along, and how and then Joe would ge
job to pilot a vessel up channel.
"Abe Bummer is always om bard time.?

"Joe was a first-rate seaman and a regt
pilot he was, and as fine a lad as ever step]
on the forecastle of a ship, fie was but tw
ty-four, and I never saw the like of bim, thor
he was say BOP-and a good son, too, to his
mother and me. He had never given ui

the coast all about as well as be uid the p

driven to leeward, he knew what to do-wb
.he ooaid anchor, all the shoals and tides a
cuirems, sud all the rest ot it; and as J
handling a boat, it was a eight to see Joe ic

was a job to be had. Acd waenever tnat I

you couldn't afford it. And then he'd set u
whistling, aud he'd go off to see Mary Scot
He wa? in love* with her, and had been fe
many years; and the old mother and I used t
think he'd make her a good husband, and tbe
abe was m luck-though we didn't someto
care much about ber. She wasn't suuuo
euough for such a steady good lad as our Joe
but he did not think so. They bad been cn il

ten years or more, and never fell out once
Tney were both ia.-the lifeboat on that wilt

on the Goodwins, burning blue-ligbts aud tar

lost bis life that time, for be got washed out d
too lifoboat justas they bad taken the last
Frenchman-on board. But Joe caugbt bim b

and held on like a vice.

he, 'no, not if he'd pulled mo overboard too.
I'd haye died first.'

"Well, it came to the 10th of Septemb':-, the
weather had changed to a regular channe
gale-blowing bard. Tbe sky was dark, the
sea the color of lead, and maning high-rain
and sleet driving right across you. I was ill.
I was then, aud my old woman wouldn't lei
me go out to sea; so I lay-by for a dav or two.
"We were all ready with tho gear in the
boats, and Joe acd tbe crew, four on 'em alto?
gether, was watchiog night and day. I was nt
the window here with the glass to my eve,
loosing at every ship through the haze as she
hove in eight. About an hour ofter daylight
in the morning, Joe sprang up and sang out,
.Look father 1 there's a brig with a flag at tbe
fore I' That means (bat they want a pilot, you
know, Bir. Whenever a ship hoists a flag at
tbe ioretopoiast bead, youll see the meu'run
out like mad, and tear down tbe beach with
tbe boats int) he ?uri io a moment. A ves?
sel always takes the first pilot that comes out
to her; anil if you're not quick you don't get
nothing.
"In a second they bad loosed tbe galley-punt
and ran ber down the shingle; the men sprang
ia, and I saw Joe give her tbe last shove-off
and leap in at the stern, with the water run?
ning off hie great boots. As noon as they
were clear or the Bhore, they hoisted their
sail and tore through the sea toward the brig.
George B*lf*a lugger was only a little way
a-tern of them; but the other Bailed cloeer to
the wind, apd I could see Joe would board the

beach. She was ooly three or tour cables
lengths off; but our eyes were too wjt to soi
who was aboard of lier. I pulled my slccv
act OBS mine, and pushed forward almost to tb
surf. I could just count them. Tbe man the;
bad picked up was in the stern with tho others
audi strained my old eves to catch a look a
him as the boat rose on the waves; but, be
fore I could make ont who it was abe won lc
gi ;e a roll to tbe windward or leeward, auc
rho foot of the doable-roefed sail would bid?
him a*ay again.
"I ahalt never forget that moment, sir. Ali
tbe agony of twenty lives seemed mow Jed inu
those few seconds. Hope and fear logetbei
were like to break my heart. It was too much
to bear lor long. Aud tbs old mother kepi
calline out to me:
" '0, Jack ! tell cae-who ie il ? Wbo is it ?
IB it Joe?'
"Just theo, as the lugger roso. 1 aaw him
for a second. He had come tor'ard, and was
standing, bold'ng OD to the stay, with his
hand up, aa if be wanted to ?bow himself.
Ho bad a red handkerchief round bis neck.
I sanp out: 'Ob, Mary! it ia bimi Ohl
th,mk God, he's Ba ved I'
"And theo abe rao forward, like to drown
herself, and called. 'Joe, Joe 1' in a sort cf
wild yell, aa it ber weale voice could have
reached the lugger through the roaring of tbe
sea and the gale.
"I got sight of bim at last, sir. as be ci mc
close to tho sboro. lt was not Joe I Joe waB
gone where uo mothor's voice can ever roach
bim again, md where bia poor la tiler's eye
will see bim no more. It wna the other wo?
man's son. He leaped from the lugger's side
almost before she buried her bow iu tbe shin?
gle, std ran to bis mother, and thev both lay
on the beach, and cried and laughed uko mad
people. They were nigh out of their minds
with joy aod grief, for, though tbo son was
saved, tbe father was co more.
"When I -aw that my boy was lost, I atood
still, as if I bad been struck dumb. It was a
deatb-blow to both of us. My wife she fell do*n
i i a faint like, poor thing, and nover bold up
her bead after.
"When she come to, WP walked up to this
bouse again. But tbe light of it was gone. sir.
It seemed dark and lonely; sod I couldn't
abide to see all the things about that bad be?
longed to my boy, and to thiuk (bat be was
floating about cold and stiff in the daik waters
of tbe channel.
"My old woman took to ber bed; and it was
soon ali over witb her. When she was dread?
ful bad, the parson came and told ber she
would see Joe again above; and it waa the
j only thing that gave the poor creaturo comfort.
I often tried my best to oheer ber up; but, Lor,
I was that down myself that I only made her
woree. The parson, came the last night, when
her life was ebbing away, and told ber again
that she would seo Joe. Then she lifted her
eyes to heaven; and they looked as they used
to look forty years ago, when .ve bret married,
and I was young and hearty, like my poor boy
when he left us that morning. She looked up,
and gave a kind of smile, as if she Baw him
through the darkness, and then she died.
"I often wonder if she did see him. I've
been at. many people's deathbeds ashore and
afloat, and the wild st ire in their eyes at tbe
last moment always made me think they Baw
into the other world just as they were leaving
this.
"As for me, sir, I never forgot Joe's death
for a moment, lt finished me. After my wife
died I used to wander about alone all day.
as if I was looking for bim; and at night I
would come down on the beach there, and Bit
among the boats, and look at tbe back wild
Bea. and cry like a child. It's this day two
yeses that his body was washed ashore at that
point of land out there, where you see that
big stone."
Tbe old Bailor drew his band across bis eyes
when be bad finished his yarn; and I asked
bim what became of olary Scott, and whether
abe "took on" when Joe died.
4*I never cared much about ber, sir," sa'd
he, "nor asked ai oak She did not come often
to aee us. People don't wheo you are in
trouble. An old mate of mine told me sbe was
to be married to-day to Tom* Williams; and
whenI heard the bells this morning they went
through my heart as they did when my poor
boy was buried by the church up yonder, and
bis mother and I followed him to the grave."
This simple story, and tbe sadness of that
desolate cottage, sent me a?ay with a heavy
heart, and set me tbinkiDg of the wedding I
bad seen in tho morning, and of tbe group io
the church-yard stopping before the mound
with tbe wooden cross.
AB the low rum hiing of the night train-up to
London lulled me to sleep among the Bott
cushions of a first-class carriage, I fancied I
could bear tbe whistling and wailing of the
storm, though the skv was still and starlight;
and through my dreams I Baw the mournful
figure of tho old man Bitting alone on the
,snore among the boats, looking out. on the
dark sea and crying Jike a child.-Tinslafs
