Belated fishermen, returning to

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

away from It during the fog. They
even saw lights in the bosses.-*

It crept up nearer and nearer j
almost like a playful child gambol

like, a serpent winding in closer and
closer folds around its victim, till at

Much a death is terrible.
Tbe two friends saw, almost In a

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

liigher, still higher the waters
rise.
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.

anxiety from the other. 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. Boftly,
softly; slowly, slowly, the waters
glide towards their prey ; whose ef
