Accepting an invitation from n yacht ing friend to go on a summer cruise, some years ago, we found ourselves, oue balmy afternoon, sailing along the iron- bound const of Maine, and enjoying the * beauty of the eoauery, with the ocean on our right, and innumerable islands, some of them bold and rocky, others green and inviting, upon our left My friend, whom I shall call Dais Drummond, waa a man of 85, and had a sad wanderer since, at 16, he left i to go into tha navy aa a Midahip- Though all that knew him felt that he history of deep interest, than boo# who eared to ask him of tha ad, excepting that be same of a good family, and at 88 had resigned from the navy to enjoy a fortune left to him.

He spoke bitterly, and 1 saw that he waa much moved, as he gaaed upon the two old houses, both of which, as we drew nearer, seamed mumbling to de- esy. " Colonel, well drop anchor under the lea of yonder wild-looking island, which I remember is said to be haunted, and, if you ears to accompany me, we will go over and have a look at the old home steads, for I have not been here for Velve yeers." Of course, I wee only too glad to go, pd, half an hour after, we landed on he main shore; and, ascending to tha tUt above, found ourselves in what had ■Me been tha handsome grounds of a Ine old mansion, but which now was loaolstc and time-worn. ^ “ There is my home; no one dwells here now, for my father out me off from my inheritance, and left file place to a distant relative in England; and yet, itrange to say, yonder other homestead is mine, for it was left me by the only being I ever loved; but I have not dgred come here until to-day." We stood together, gazing upon the two old mansions whose broad acree joined together about half way between the homesteads, and, being in a com municative mood, Drummond went on, in his easy way : “TH tell you the story, Colonel, though I never speak of the past, aa it is sad to think of it, X can assure you.

"Her father had lately moved to the other homestead, you see there; and having dwelt on the asa shore in En gland the little Fidels was s perfect sailor; and alone. In her light canoe, had fearlessly paddled over to Haunted island, which, as you see, is a mile from the mainland. “1st once made her acquaintance, and sailed her beak horns, with her canoe in tow, and from that day, children though we were, we were lovers, and to gether we hunted, fished, sailed and read hooka; for wnen away from her studies the wss as wild ss a young Tmliai.
