survived the destruction of life around
Mfflg It <c?qM*hfBd of ?.fa??r and
mbtiner,* an?" two ' young " children
Charles ?nd Alice-the last of whom,
the girl, WAS but a tew months old
when tho Great Drought began:
Thev had lived ia Herby shire, nert*
Mrunge of low hill? CftBed the Peak,
tliey -?nd olher inhabitants of
that region had' found water, longer
than many others, from the sides of
the hills and from excavations which
they had made in the rooks. The
strong hope and expectation of rain
had kept them lingering on as long
ns any supply lasted; and Paulett,
who, in the days when ranks existed,
had been a great landlord, had used
both his knowledge and his influence
*o supply the wants of the people and
to postpone their destruction. But
those days were gone by; his posses?
sions were so mncli dust; he
wanted water, .and nobody wanted
anything else. He was a mere man
now, like those who are born naked
and die naked, and had to struggle
with the needs of nature even ns
every one else. Meantime his educa?
tion availed him, and the resources
which il taught him prolonged the
lives of hi* family and himself. But
he was soon obliged to limit himself
to : this sole care, for the supply he
obtained was scanty, aud he knew
how precarious it must bc. He had
explored thc cavern of the Peak with
great attention, and he bored the
rock in various places and used means
suggested by his knowledge of natu?
ral canses, which had procured a
slender flow of water into a basin
which he had made. The fury of
thirsty men for water was so great
that lie was obliged to keep his seerot
with the utmost care; and towards
the end of the fourth year he removed
t his wife and children to tho cavern
i itself, and blocked up the entrance in
such a manner that he could defend
! it against any chance survivor. There
was no want of the luxuries of furni
j ture in the cavern-all the splendors
[ of the land were at the command of
, thone who would take them, and Pan
lott brought there whatever had
adorned his home when the earth was
i a fit dwelling plaec for man. There
was velvet and down to lie upon:
I there were carpets on which the little
Alice coultl roll; there were warm
dresses and luxurious ornaments ol
the toilette; whatever eould be used
for comfort he had brought, and nil
other precious things he had blt ii
his open house, locking himself un?!
his family np with only water. At
first there would be sometimes a mi
semble man or woman tracing tin
presence of living creatures aud cry
ing for water. Panlett or his wif<
supplied several, and when they hat
been refreshed, they revealed the se
cret to others; or, being strengthenet
themselves, felt the desperate desiri
of life revive, and attempted violenct
to get at the treasure. After this, th'
inhabitants of the eavern fell back t<
mere self-preservation, aud thefathe
and mother were abie to harden thei
hearts against others by looking a
tho two creatures whom they lia?
borne into the world, aud who do
pended upon them, lint, indeed, lif
seemed t<> shrink rapidly to nothin
over tho face of Hie country. It w?
very rare to see a moving form of an
kind. Skeletons of beasts and m>
were in plenty, and their white bon?
lay on the arid soil: or even thei
withered shapes, dried by the air an
i tho sun, were stretched out on th
j places where they had ceased to sn
I fer; but life was most rnre, and it b<
I came scarcely necessary to use an
j precaution against an invader of the
: store. The dreadful mise ry was tin
j this store diminished. The heart ?
j the earth seemed drying, and ws
ceasing to lie capable of yieldin
moisture even to thc utmost wrencl
ing of science. There was so litt,
one hot day, that Paulett and EU?
scarcely moistened their lips aft?
their meal of baked corn, and warnt
the children that the draught tin
received was the only one that cou
bc given them. Charles was no
seven years old, und hud learned
submit, but his longing eye.} plead?
more; littl? Alic?? was clamorous, at
tho mother felt tears overflow h
eyes t?> think that there wns no posi
bility ol' yielding to that childish po
vishuess, and that the absolute no
existence of water must punish h
I poor child's wilfulness. When Pa
lett had set his instruments to wo
to renew, if possible, the supply, ai
vvheu Ellen had removed the silv
cups and dishes which had held th<
corn and water, he and she sat dov
at the month of the cavern, and t
tittle ones got their play-things ai
placed them on a piece of rock n
far oil. Tho month of the cave
lofty, and there is a sort of u terra
running along on.- side, at the fe
of which lay the channel of t
stream that was now dry. Tho vi?
is dow ii the first reach ?d' a narr?
valley, which turns presently afr?
wards, and so shuts out th? world I
yond from sight; and tho hill on eu
side risen high, tmd, from irs perp?;
dicuiarity, peems even higher than
is. The. shade of the cavern was de
ibl?^^?nol where the brook had
Sowed, the stones of the cave, were
?ll equally bare; there was no sound
of voice; or bird, or insect-no cool
drops from the ceiling of the cave
no moisture even in the coolness of
the shadow. Ellen leaned ber bead
on ber husband, and Paulett pressed
his arm round her; both of them
were thinking of the basin' empty of
water.
??EBen," said Paulett, "I think Che
time is come when the elements shall
melt with fervid heat. It seems like
tho conflagration of the world; not,
indeed, as we have always fancied it,
with flames and visible Are, but not
tiie less on that account the action of
heat. It is, perhaps; the Last Day."
"I hope it is," said Ellen; "I hope
it is; I wish those precious creatures
may be among those that are alive
ana remain, and may be spared the
torments of this thirsty death."
"You and I could bear it if they
were gone," said Paulett, glancing at
them, and withdrawing his eyes.
"Oh, yes," said Ellen, pressing
near to him, and taking his hand in
both of hers. They were silent, and
they heard thc children talking as
thoyplayed.
"There is King Alexander," said
Charles, setting up a pebble; "he is
going to dinner. Put the dinner,
Alice."
Alice put out seveaal other pebbles
before King Alexander.
"And he has a great feast There
is plenty of water, more than he can
drink, and he drinks-drinks as much
as he likes, and still there is plenty of
water when he goes to bed."
"Poor children. I can't bear it,"
said Ellen.
"Oh, Ellen, it would have been
better never to have given them
birtli, " said Paulett.
"No, not that," said Ellen, sitting
down again; "thongh they must suf?
fer, they are better to be; when this
suffering has dissolved their bodies,
on the other side of these mortal
pains there is ease and happiness."
"True. true, ?lear Ellen," said
Paulett, "it is <mly difficult lo ?lie."
Ho held lier bund, aud while he
did so, his eye fastened on a diamond
ring which she wore. She observed
his fixed look.
"You gave me that when we little
thoaght how it was we should part
when I was a bride-and there was all
the pleasure and the business of thc
world rouud ns. It hardly seems as
if we were the saine creatures."
"No, we aro not; for I am thinking
concerning that ring which you nevej
were to part with, whether I could
convert the diamond into water."
"How, Paulett,"
"I can't explain it to yon. but il
has jus* crossed my mind that it ii
possible'; and if so, they are stil
plenty ?if jew el* in the world to kee]
ns alive."
He drew oil" the ring as he spoke
aud went into the interior of th?
eave, whither Ellen followed him
There was a tire and some apparatu:
belonging to Paulett, which he ha?
used in experiments upon the ?le
creasing water of the basin. H?
knocked the stone out of the setting
and applied himself to decompose i
over the Ure. He put forth all hi
skill and all his power, and was .sue
cessful; the diamond disappeared
and there remained a few drops o
water. He looked at his wife nm
smiled; she raised her eyes to his, a*
tonisbed and pleased, took the cu
from his haud, ami looked nt th
! precious metamorphosis.
! "I'll give it the children," she saul
I aud was going away, brit he stoppe
! her. "No, Ellen, there is notenoug
j to ?lo any good;*you and 1 will drin
: each other s health in it," and li?; pu
j the cup first to her lips, and then t
! his own. God bless you, ray den
j Ellen," he said, "my wife, I pledg
you again with that diamond. Th
first drop of water comes from tb
stone that plighted my faith to yoi
and may it bring you health and liai
piuess yet."
"God bless you, my husband,
we could but die now."

First, he visited his own forsnk?

Tile face of the country was so
much changed that be. 4*4 seme dif?
ficulty in making his way. The
vivid celo? of the earth were all
gone, and in place of them was the
painful greyness of the dead trees,
and the yellow of the parchad soil
Nothing was overthrown in rain, bot
all stood dead in ita place. The
shapes of men and animals lay strewn'
upon the earth. The human beings
were comparatively rare; they were
the last survivors of the destroying
drought, whom there had been none
to bury; but these had at length died
by hundreds, and in their places
their bones were seen whiter than
any other object; or, if anywhere
over the surface there hung a vapor,
it came from some collection of dead
bodies, which had not yet been re?
solved into the elements. Those
whom he found there were mostly in
heaps-tho beasts had died singly;
near what had been water-courses he
saw more than once signs of strug?
gle ; and the last battles of earth had
been fought for the possession of its
waters. He traced out many a pa?
thetic story amoug the dry bones and
faded garments. Women's dresses
were there; and fallen imo a shape?
less heap on what had been their bo?
soms, were little forms, and the rai?
ment of children. Where the dry
air and the sun had preserved the
face, he beheld the fallen estate ol
those who had been men in the un?
covered shame of death; open lips,
the sunken eyes over which the eye?
lid was undrawn, the sullen tongue,
the frame writhed into an expression
of anguish, revealed all the pain and
shame of death. But here and there
tho hand of some one who had beer
a survivor ?as visible in the attempt
to conceal all this. In one phvx
there was a shallow grave, iut<
which a body had been rolled, anc
lay on its side; and close by, on i
heap of clothes, out of which bonei
appeared, there was a spade, will
! which the unfinished work bad heel
j attempted. Tn another, a feiual
I body was covered from sun and mom
1 by a man's cloak, and a few paces ol
' lay a mau, whom nothing had shield
j ed. There was an infant's skeletou
wrapped iu a woman's shawl, nude
what had been a hawthorn hedge

tempting to find water, or had lui
her child down and gone away, lik

; The poor innocent's skull was turne

j It was too yoting*to have struggle
j much. Paulett thought on his littl
! Alice; of ln.r unconsciousness to th
i fate around her: of what would h
I her and Charles' and poor Ellen
fate, if he failed in his search or pc
ished by the way. He roused hin
? self from looking on all these sorrov
I ful objects and went on his dreai
j way. The second day after ho le
i the cavern he came toa stately pile <
j building, which he determined to e:
, plore for the life-giving stones he wi
in search of. It stood upou its te
raees, surrounded by its collouad*
and garden and steps, in all its ol
pride and glory. Its forests we:
withered, indeed; its gardens burne
1 its fountains dry; but the pala
j glanced back the sunlight, aud w
j as steadfast and perfect as iu tl
I days of the living. Paulette dre
near, and found, as he came clo?
signs of the hist days of Ufe in
The doors were open to the air, and
few marks of objects removed i
mained in the outer rooms. The
was scoring and dragging ou t
i marble floor; and Paulett doubt'
for a moment what had left tin
i marks, till he saw on otto side of
I gilded table a barrel lyiug the
; empty, from which the top, as
seemed, had been accidentally knot
ed, and the liquor had flowed oi
The marble bore the stains of wii

those who saw tho liquid flow to x
i each ono his own parched lips. Pt
I lett thought the lord of tho eas
had probably deserted it before I
worst crisis had arrived, and 1
tried to remove what was most va
able in his possession. He went
through long galleries and magti
cent rooms, all silent as dea
I s tittles which represented man
! his glory and in his strength ; bo?
; which were the work of that h:
j spirit, now extinguished under
pressure of bodily want; luxuri
I superfluities which were for bet
I days of the world-all was valneli
all open; he might go where
would, until, sit length, one door
sisted his efforts, and seemed to h
been barred with a certain care fi
within.
Pauletta heart beat high. \

self? another human creature nh

was still alive, he might be af rah

Dear? He gtarltly shook the doer;,
thou proceeded to more violence, and
forced it open. It was the door of a
great dining-room, on whose lofty"
ceiling, as he entesad it, wreaths of ;
smoke rolled, which the air had put
in motion, and a heavy smell, as of
burned charcoal, ? struck bini aa he
entered. There were no living crea?
tures-tho inhabitants were au d?sd
in the last,posture nf life,. The fable
wss covered with silver and gold ves?
sels, and among them were, dead
flowers and fruits, dried by the close
chamber. It should seem they had*
drunk deeply before they died here;
Eerhapa they had collected the hut
quids and resolved to perish' when
they had once more feasted; for there
was wine still in some of the vessels;
nay, in one there was waler, and the
ghostly shapes were adorned and fan?
tastically covered with jewels and
velvet, and all sorts of rare and ex?
quisite ornaments. Some were still
on chairs, some fallen forward on the
table, some prostrate, as if they bad
laid down to sleep. There were frag?
ments of shivered glass on the floor;
there was a statue broken to pieces
on the table, on the pedestal ot which
waa written "Patience;" there were
pieces of torn poper in the hands of
j one, which seemed a letter; all these
! faint shadowing* long stories, and
I of a scene of which there remained
no witness, struck Paulett'g eye. One
had sunk down by the silver tripod
in which the charcoal had been burn?
ed, aud the match that fired it was
amongst his garments. One face was
there resting on a sofa, still perfect
enough to show it had been a beauti?
ful woman, and roses, artfully made
close to nature, crowned the long
hair, which fell upon arms from
which the flesh had withered. On
the neck were diamonds, on the
hands diamonds-diamonds had con?
fined the ringlets-diamonds spar?
kled on her feet, Paulett shuddered
as he took them away. The spirit,
indeed, was gone; but here was the
lost act of the spirit before it plunged
into an'unknown region-it knew not
where. Paulett asked himself where.
"A little longer," said he, "and they
must have died; could not they wait
their time, and take patience with
death? Must they die in drunken?
ness, in madness, worse than beasts?"
Then his own thirsty eyes fixed on the
table, where, in the light of the sun,
the water sparkled and gave rainbow
rays. He forgot all beside in the
impulse which urged him to seize and
drink-to drink tho first draught-to
satiate bis thirst with water. He
drank and revived, and then blamed
himself for yielding so passionately to
the impulse which was now passed
away, and os it passed, the horror pf
the scene around him acquired greas?
er force, aud he longed to be out of
I its influence. He made haste to col
I le ct all the jewels around him, and
w hen he had done so, found that his
i burden was as much as he could
safely carry. He went hastily out of
the room, as if any of these figures
could rise and follow him, and fast?
ened tin? door again where the crime
had hfeen w rought. He hastily cross?
ed the marble halls and mme ont in
the sunlight-the solemn sunlight
that looked upon a burnt-up world.
