The thought of her sister's absolute dependunce on her nerved Margaret to fresh exertions, and, though greatly fatigued, she struggled on.But now the thunder, which had been of late less frequent, added its formidable voice to that of tho raging wind, and the lurid gleam of the lightning came again to illumine the waste.What was that coming on, fleecy white, advancing rapidly, and covering the yellow sands us with a spotless shroud?Not the sea, surely.Another flash! The low white foam-line is nearer now, hurrying, stealing on; and behind it, far away, is somothing like a snowy wall, rolling pitilessly on, pushed for ward, as it seemed, by the tumultuous blackness that followed close behind.Then Margaret knew that the worst had come to pass, It was impossible now to reach the Stour.The tide was in upon her, and she was lost! Anothor blinding flash, and yet another! and while still dazzled by the lightning, Margaret folt a sudden chill as something white reached hor feet, passed her by, and sped on, far up the estuary, and she \u2018was actually standing in the shallow water that had now overspread the sands, and which was deepening as fresh fonm-lines rolled in, while tho tumbling wall of surf came on, as if hungry for prey.She had no hope to be heard, no chance of rescue, yet instinctively sho set up ono long despairing ery for succor.\u2014 No answer | save from howling wind and seething sea, that seemed to mock her idle appeal for aid.Yet once again she cried aloud, and this time the call was answered, as, splashing through the knee-deep water, a man\u2019s In the next instant he was beside her.It was Frank Darrell, who hurriedly expressed his delight at finding her.\u2014 There was no time to lose.And as he spoke he lifted her in his powerful arms as easily as if she had con à child, and waded vigorously For a momont Margaret, By this time Frank had gained, with some toil, the vantage-ground which he desired to reach.By the light of the red flashes, his quick eye .had espied a broken post or stake of dragged down by the main force of stou t limber, green with sen-weeds, that protruded from the surfuce of a sloping sand mound, and around which lay several large stones.with his* back to the weather-beaten scrap of wood-work, he could rest and tako breath, while eagerly scanning at each recurrent flash, the wilderness of waters before him.Here \u2018All depends on Venn and his coble,\u2019 ho seid aloud ;

it is pretty well undorstood in socioty; but the Now York cditors can hardly talk abont it without bo- ing more personal than decent editors care to bo.If tnoy do talle about it, they aro accused of takingsides,\u201d \u201ccalling names,\u201d &e.But if you want to read somestraight- forward talk of this kind, I pray you turn to the account of the interview with good old Oliver Johnson, in which ho draws a graphic portrait of anothor wellknown \u201cportrait painter.\u201d Oliver Johnson, by the way, is onc of the few men concerned in this affair, who are \u201ctrue grit.\u201d\u2014 His say-so in Now York is better than the oath of a hundred slanderors and busy bodies.THE UNDER DOG.A great many people aro hard upon Mr.Beecher, and very sympathetic with Mr, Tilton, because they think that Tilton is tho \u201cundor dog\u201d in the fight.I think it is just the othor way.Itis Beecher who needs our sympathios ; it is he being rolled over in tho mud; it is ho that has most to lose.Of course, our sympathios must be affected by our convictions as to the person guilty; but until Beecher is proved guilty, itis no more than just to believe him innocent.SCANDALS AND IIORROLS.Thero is cortainly onough of the scandalous and horrible now being paraded in the public prints to satisfy the most morbid taste.Each one %of tho larger cities has n local oxgite- ment that has become national by its onormity.In Boston, itis the child murderer, Jesse Pomeroy, \u201cthe boy with .the marblo eye;\u201d in Philadel phin tho Ross abduction case is the one topic of conversation; Brooklyn has the Beechor-Tilton scandal; and now New York, not to bo outdone, discovers a monster in the form of a Joung nursory maid, who goes about ike Herod of old, destroying tho lit- tlo babies that are trusted to her care.She confesses that she has {ried to burn a number of babies, and that she has sot fire to several houses where she was employed.When asked why she id such horrible things, sho only roplied \u201cI just wanted to burn hom.\u201d The girl is evidently insane and her mania takes this curious and dreadful form.Ior confession has put all tho mothersin the eity on their guard.for tho present at any rate, and if the warning results in their leaving their innocent babes less to the charge of careless and cruel maids, the \u201cgirl fiend\u201d has not lived in vain.A CROWD ROUND A PENNY.The other day I was coming up Liberty street, as the people were crowding off the New Jersey ferry boats, whon T saw two young ladics stop and search tho sidewalk with their eyes as though they had dropped something.Soon a gentleman stopped and looked with thew, Then others joined in tho search; finally some one asked what was lost.One of the young ladies said she did not know but that sumothing had dropped out of her purse.So the crowd, which by this time had swelled to the number of about a hundred, resumed their search.At last a smile speed itself ovor the fie of one of the gentlemen searchors as he picked up a bright and shining penny, and politely handed it to tho blushing young lady.It was all she liad.lost.THE GIMLET STORY, This reminds mo of the gimletatory, It is suid that many yours ago # man Inid # wager that he could muke a \u201cjum\u201d in Broadway, on any _weok-day within a cortain number of- minutes and with uothing but a gimlot.It was provided that his friend should meroly stand still and look at bim.\u2014 One day the two went out upon the sidowalk in a busy part of the great thoroughfare.© man who had laid tho wager then got down on his knees and bogan boring botween the flug- stones, By and by a lounging shoo black drew near and began to look curiously at the borer.Then & man with a sign on his back joined the group ;

notably that of \", 8, King.There is no reason why they shonld not be for a good ongrav- er is enough of an artist to have an oye for the beautiful in both form and color.The upper sturies of 33 Parle Row the old Lovejoy hotel, are nearly all filled with engravers, and the building on tho cornor of Broadway and Fulton streot is also one of their headquarters.Sometimes engravers who do not care for an ontire office, will rent \u201cwindow room.\u201d Thore are often ns many as threo mon nat à window, wherothere isa north light.Thoir desks ave made with the corners cut so that three can readily work together.Tho married mon very often work at home, particulary when they live in the country.The great rendezvous of the \u201cJohn Stroot Pirates\u201d used to bo a restau ant and wine callar kept by a Frenchman named Moulquin in Nassau street.Mme.Moulquin, a piquante and pretty Fronchwoman, presided at the cash drawer and at the neat litile bar and her bright oyes wero a great attraction to her husband's cellar.The place was kopt as clean as tho deck of u man-of-war., Down the middle of the floor stood a number of little tables dn which loaves or sticks of French bread were stacked a la woodpile, and on each corner of the pile a bottle of wine wag carefully balanced.Under a narrow archway could bo scon tho cool wine vaults, and through a small window one could watch the cooks in their snowy whito aprons and caps, nmid the shining copper pots and kettles.Among \u201ctho patrons of Moulquin's cellar were many Bohemians, ongravers and artests both native born and foreign, and art- izans, such as goldworkors and wateh- makers.Coming in out of the sunlight the delicate blue of the tobacco smoke that filled the room was always rostful to the eyes, and the old Fronchmen with their long stemmed pipes gave an air of solid comfort to the placo.But Moulquin'sis no longer as it was; the proprietor made money and enlarged his borders, and now docs a thriving business in a modern restaurant above ground, and the \u201cJohn Street Pirates\u201d go clse- where to rendezvous, HOW IT PAYS, Engraving is a paying business for ono who works steadily at it.For cutting a block about half the size of the average magazin page n first class engraver will got from 850 to 865.It will not take him a weok to do it, if he works steadily.Engravers average, according to their morit, all the way from 820 to $100 a week the year round.Coarse work such as cuts for certain kinds of illustrated papers and genoral, rather than peculiar work, are the best paying.A skillfal workman can occasionally turn out one of such blocks in a day and a half and make 850 by the job.There is nearly always plenty of work for good engravers, and the domand may be said to bo greater than the supply.There are a few ongravors who have accumulated little fortunes and have comfortable and attractivo homes but the majority live up to every cent cr artists, thoy are n generous and improvident set.William 8 Tracy aged 18, died at Valley Falls, R.L, Thursday night, in consequence of being hit in the hend by a ball while playing base-ball.GREAT FIRE IX MONTREAL, LOss OVER $109,000, On Bunduy morning, about two o'clock, Thomas Foy, 4 flreman - attached to the Wollington streot station, perceiving a great red blaze in the direction of the Cunal, at once of Bt.Joseph and Mountain streets, and on proceeding in the direction indicated by the glowing rofloction, discovered that Menderson's Saw Mill was on fire.When first seon the fire had been raging for some time, and had ulreudy obtained considerable headway, and from the very first it was seen that the building in which it had originated was doomed to become a prey to thedevouring element, \u2018Tho immense quantitios of suwn lum- bor piled on the banks of the canal at this place, all as dry as tinder, and ready to burst into u blaze, particular ly at this season, when all the moisture had been absorbed by the intense rays of the sun, gave the situation a most threatening aspect.Those who, at the sound of the alarm, had scampered out of their beds with the scantiest covering, and reached the scene of the conflagration at this moment, seemed to labor under the imprussion that it was going to be a \u201cbig fire,\u201d and they were not disappointed.\"The night was very still, not a breath of air seemed to be stirring; and it was fortunate indeed that it was #0, or we might have to chronicle a still greater calamity, The sight of course was grand, almost beyond description, a column of flame, fed from pyres of resinous woods louped with dazzling brillancy into the heavens, illuminating the distant spires of the city and the house-tops even to the foot of Mount Royal, while the wators of the Lnchine canal seomed to be ablaze with blood-red ambers; and out of the darkness came the huge crimson propeller, the gilded barge, and the silver-onred bafteau.The cries which now proceeded from tho alarmed occupants of the craft lying in close proximity to the burning lumber, their calling to each other in their frantic efforts to move out of danger, the noise of the people on ghore\u2014all this, mingling with the roar of the flames, mado the scono one of indo- scribablo confusion, and though we re- grot that it has not been unattended with loss of life, yet it is a matter for congratulation that we have not to record a still greater disaster.ARRIVAL OF THE BRIGADE.A fow minutes after the sounding of tho alarm, the reels from the Wel lington Street Station were on the spot, and did good service.Owing to the greater distance at which the other stations are situated some few minutes elapsed before any of the men from them reached the scenc of tho fire.Tho Wellington street men laid two streams, and did a good deal of work before the arrival of the others; the whole brigade however, were soon on the ground.But when the Shand & Mason engine arrived from No.1 Station there was no engi- neor to work it, which caused considerable delay.At last, after the loss of many precious moments, the engineer of the \u201cBertram\u201d went to it, and the full force of its powerful stream was directed to the fire, which was now extending rapidly.In a few mo- monts the flames caught the factory of Mossrs.Gago & Cooper, cabinot- makers, as well as Howley's sash and blind factory, both of which were soon ablaze.The fire had now extended to innumerable piles of boards and other lumber, and notwithstanding all that the firemen could do it still continued to spread, devouring pile after pile of valuable lumber.SHIPPING ON FIRE, The steamer York, the property of Mr.George Tait, of Tait's dry dock, next caught fire, and burned to the water's edge.Two barges, one of which was under seizure for debt, shaved the same fate, notwithstanding the law and the attempt of their crows to move them out of harm's way.It is sad to think that a watchman on board of one of these craft, named Napoleon Doroche, and residing at 292 Jacques Cartier street, leaped into the basin, in the excitement of tho moment, to escape tho fire.But the poor fellow met a deadly foe, and was drowned.Tis body was found about half past six yostordny morning by Constable Kiernan, of the Water Police, and the cuptain of a dredge.À woman and a child, being on board, also had a very narrow escape from a similar fate.THE GOVERNMENT FLOUR SHED was now in a blaze, and though its comparatively isolated position at one time inspived the hope that it might be saved, it soon became evident that it was also doomed to destruction, The heat of the tire was so intense that the firemen could not long remain oxposed to it, and they had to be ro- lieved incossantly.Several painfnl burns ave reported, one of which hap- pned in the case of the branchman of the Babcock engine, whose hand was injured in this way.The horses attached to this machine were also burnt about their heads and come near being lost altogether, having been caught in a pretty tight place.Whilo on this subjoct wo may say that complaints are made about this engine being short handed\u2014its comploment of men being four, and not two, the number with which it was mado to do duty yoster- day.Meroever, the great offectivencss of this machine is seen at tho very beginning of a ftre, and it should bo turned out invarinbly on tho first alarm, Some delay occurred in the setting of the engine to work yesterday, as tho man in charge of it is said to havo instructions not to lay a stream until he has the Chief\u2019s directions in oach case.This should be attended {o and every precaution taken to avoid 1fendorson's mill had been abandoned, as tho fire had made too much pro gress before it was discovered, but more especially the oxpeeted of thom, bu the wholo brigade was cleatly overmatched.For an hour The reserve of hose was time, it is most probable that the De- partmont would Wiave come short of hose.This should be seen to at once.The band Babcocks did gpod service, McRobie having with one of these prevented the flames from extending to a dwelling house.The Police of the Ottawa station, and some of the Water Police, gave ovory assistance in their powor.About a thousand porsons gathored around the burning buildings and watched the progress of the flames, but conducted themselves peacefully.It was very fortunate that there was 1.0 wind at the timo, as the sparks, which fell in a heavy shower, if blown by the slightest bieath of air, might have done incalen- lable damage.Up to ten o'clock lust night fifteon streams were kept playing from time to time on the burning debris.The boiler of the steamer is in the basin and scarcely an inch of tim- bor or hull is visible, and the barges also present the appearance of burned skeletons.There is n vast heap of burned lumber lying around the side of the fire, and as it is an ill wind that blows nobody good let us hope that somebody who nesds it may chance Lo get a cheap supply of firewood for the winter.THE LOSSES.Henderson's Mill was filled with machinery and dressed lumber chiefly onk, allof which were consumed, The stock is fully covered by insurance, build:ngs partially so; loss, $30,000.Gago & Cooper lose on their stock of furnitaro and their machinery about $8,000.They wore insured.Mr.Howley\u2019s door and sash factory was not insured, he having preferred to become his own insurer then to pay the rate demanded of him\u2014viz, 8 per cont.His loss will be between $2,000 and $3,000., The value of Mr.Tait's steamboat, the York, was estimated at $30,- 000, and of the two barges about $5,- 000 each.The loss on the Flour Shed is about $12,000 to $14,000.No insurance on the latter, The origin of the fire is unknown, but it seems to have had its risein the box making department of Honder- son\u2019s mill.The men had lolt off work at half-past four o'clock on Saturday afternoon.-\u2014- met en _ TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.France.RUMORED ALLIANCE OF GERMANY AND SPAIN AGAINST FRANCE.A Paris corrospondent of the London Telograh declares on relinble authority that asecret convention wus concluded threo month ago between the German emperor and President Serrano, by which Germany agreed, if necessary, to aid in the suppression of the Carlist insurrection, either with money or by moans of armed intervention, and undertook to secure the recognition of tho Spanish republic by her allies.President Serrano, in return, pledged Spain to an alliance, offensive and defensive,with Germany, in tho event of a war with France.Italy was to form a third party to the alliance.The Vienna New Free Press reports that the Duke Decazes, minister of foreign affairs, has complained to the British government that Germany is seeking a quarrel with France.the complaint is based en a conversation of July 30, between the duke and Prince Hohenlohe, the German ambassador at Paris, when the latter stated that Gormany, irrespective of the action of othér powers, wonld tale what steps it thought proper against the discriminations made by the French in favor of the Carlists in vi lation of obligations of neutrality.The attitude of the Spanish representative at Paris is most concilintory, and the difficulties with Spain, so far as that country is concerned, are at an end.Senor Castelar is expected at Versailles, charged with the mission of negotiating for the recognition of the republic of Spain.THE ELECTION RIOT IN SOMERVILLE, TENNESSEE.Memrris, TENN., Aug.8.\u2014The parties who arrived here this morning from Somerville report that all is quiet and there had \u201cbeen no further fighting than was reported last night;

now a day all sunshine, another all cloud; now wandering through flower méads, now \u2018struggling up a rugged, path.until the present was roached and seemed to stand upon an eminence and, \u201cbidding adieu toall behind, I struck out on a narrow foot-bridge that led over an unfithomable chasm: and whose farther ond was lost.in darkness, When I had walked far out;

it grew brighter, arid#imy ghostly attendants foll behind.\u201cAt length I stood before o gigantie gate whose top was lost in the gloom above, and.which was at immovable -as a mountain, Before si stood two beings unlike any that I had ever seen.One was clad in shining garments, and a bright stur tparkled on its forehead, and its coun: gofianco was beaming With\"hope, and\u2019 pence, and joy.\u2018Tho othor was elad in a, robo of deepest black, upon the fréftof which was worked in white a skull ang bones, Itsface was sad and cold, and its'oyos wore'dnll\u2019 and lifeless.They conversed together long and earnestly, and.I was able to glean from their conversation that I was in tho realms ot Death, and Life\u201d fad come to claim me, and Death was loth to give me up.At length Life unrolled a long chart, and pointed to Death that Thad not yet lived.my destiny and must be\u2018:permitted to go orth and complete\u2019 it: Death censod glicctions, and the great gato with a great squeaking Moos, and O- what a glo- bofore me.Thon apped out in 03.DC $100,000 GRAND SUBSCRIPTION SALE WORT ly Co FALL & WINTER GOODS.Such as nie constantly used ln every family at from FIFTY TO ONE HUNDRED PER CENT CHEAPER Than the same goods can be bought for at the retall stores.ALL GOODS SENT COLLECT ON DELIVERY!
