Belated fishermen, returning to their inland home, here heard the dries of distress; like an arrow their boat pierces the billow*, and aa all around the waters arose and the rolling and splashing wares hailed them, saying: “Yon belong to ns.* Henry lives near the sea coast Did you over see the ocean t At one time it is troubled, foaming, thundering ; at another, smooth, clear, beautiful, friendly; exactly like the human heart. lie that looks down in the deep, bottomless sea beholds the likeness of his own heart. Henry stood often on the sea shore ; but he only saw the restless waters; their constant changes of color and form ; to him it was never anything else but the wearisome son. He whose heart is cold can not see for with his sotrHs eye, ami his out ward life is vanity! Henry stands at the sea shore. The North Sea has a strong ebb and flow. The waves which now almost wet Henry’s feet, wonld at ebb-tide be for away. The small vuvmi viAsraat The fog disappeared atonal as sod denly as it had come.

Much a death is terrible. Tbe two friends saw, almost In a moment, what it has taken ns some time to tell. Tbe sight almost frosr the blood in their veins, and a.pierc ing shriek of despair, so foarfiUly loud, so unnaturally strong, that only the intensest fear of death could have enabled human Ups to utter it, rang out for and wide. They felt as if their whole strength had left them. They stood pale and trembling; John groaned aloud in his terror, and look ed with strained eyes towards the island for help. O, if their cry only had been beard, then a boat would be sent out immediately—but would it be possible to disoover such an in significant object as the two men presented in the wild waste of wa ters f and—-even then it would be too late, for the flood was rising slowly, but steadily.

Nothing to see, nothing to eat, nothing to drink P “Plenty to see,” answered John. “I tell you, girls that are girls grow there ; I was near saying on the trees, but there are no trees. And do yon believe the people yonder live, without eating or drinking ! Visitors are always welcome.” .’ Henry agreed after some persua sion to go.

Henry’s ;iast Life passes before him. He sees it as perfectly as be sees the water that extends all around his feet. Up sees all his sins, he remembers his every thought, word and deed, the good .be ha* left undone, the evil he has done —all his transgressions from his earliest yearn to this his last hour, and—this is—retribntiou I The waters roll onward ; every fresh wave washes away a portion of their lives. One quarter of an hour more, and—the sea has swal lowed up its victims. John clings with his whole strength to Henry ; although his hold is be coming feebler and feebler ; while the latter stands unmoved, as if the terrible scene, enacted before and around them, did not concern him in the least. A larger wave comes ; it beats against the knees of the ill-feted friends. “We arc lost,” whispers John, hoarsely. “Ye*, lost! lost 1 lost forever P Henry's heart- ra sponds. * Higher, still higher, the waters rise. John hears a sound different from that of the angry waves. It is— yes it is the rcgnly stroke of oars. Ho calls for help with the strength of despair, and the fear of death. Henry remains mote and motionless. Shrfek after shriek escapes John’s lips, his voiee drowns the uproar of tbe waters, unwilling, though, they arc to give up tbrtr prey. The fear of death gives immense power; without intermission the call for help rings out over the sea; but the waves are also strong ; they keep on coming, coming, high er, still higher the waters rise; the two lost ones lay their wet hands on their wildly besting hearts; John has thrown one arm around Henry, with the other he beckons the boat.

Henry at last exclaimed: “Do you know where the island ist I believe we have lost it” ; “O, God l I do not know,” cried John. They toiled on, holding each other by the hand, lest they should be separated in the heavy fog. They still kept on travelling, although they had not the faintest idea whether their course led them to the island or to the deathly embrace of the sea. Henry tried to sing, but the words stuck fast to his throat, and they went on in silence. It became darker, although the fog commenced to disperse; but the veil was only raised to show them the dangers which threatened them. The water-channels became more frequent and wider, they began to unite and form rivers—It was nenr the hour when the mistress of this domain' would return. The flood came slowly, vajy slowly, but never theless threatening the two trespas sers on its territory with death. It stretched out as if. a thousand arms towards the doomed men, the liquid meshes of the deathly net which soon shonld enclose them.
