co nigh.To be is better fur than not to be, Though all man\u2019s life may seem a tragedy; But light cares speak when mighty cares are dumb, The bottom ie but shallow whence they come.Your fuite ie but the conimon fate of all; Unmingled joys here to no man befall, Nature to each allots his proper sphere, Fortune makes folly lier peculiar care ; Custom does often reason overrule, And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.Live well, how long or short, permit to heaven, They who forgive most shalt be most forgiven, Sin may be clusped so close we cannot see its fuce\u2014 .Vile intercourse where virtue hax not place.Then keep each passion down, however ear, Thou pendulum betwixt a sinile and tear; He: sensual knares let faithless please ay With craft and skili to ruin and betray.Soar not 10 high to fall, but stoop Lo rise, We marters grow of all that we despise.0, then renounce that impious self-esteem ; Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dr-am Think notambition wise because \u2018tis brave, The path of glory leads but to the grave.What is ambition ?\u2019Tis à glorious cheat, Only destruc\u2018ive to the brave and great.What's all the gaudy ghiter of a crown ?The way 10 bliss lies not ou beds of down.How long we live, not years, but actions, tell; That man lives twice who lives the first life well.Make, then, while yet ye may, your God your friend, Whom Christibus woreliip, yet don\u2019t com prehend.The trust that\u2019s given guard, sud to yourself be just; Fur, live we low we ca\u2019, yet die we must.\u2014\u2014\u2014- A shadow.My heart and I were glad together\u2014 Tt was such happy summer weather, The sunbeams were so golden bright, It seemed ail summer-day, no night Till came a shadow \u2019cross the sun ; There étoud à strange, à silene One.My heart ard 1 grew still with fear, \u201cLove\u201d left ng with a bilter tegr.My heart and I were ead together, It was such dreary autumn weather.But still we xaw the sunshine play, We watched it through the shortening day .My Leartand I grew strangely cold ! We knew that shaiow there of old, Then, with a piteous little moan, \u201cHope\u201d left u6 in the night alone.My heart and I etill cling together, How bleak it is, this winter weather.The snow flakes Hutter one by one, But somewliere, surely, shines the sun.My heart I grieve not, nor weep ;

I'll get you a hundred on those terms.\u201d Another captain examined the greenback; it looked all right.\u2014 «I'll give you 75 cents for all.\u201d \u201cNo; you can\u2019t have it.\u201d \u201cAnd you can buy them for 45 cents each?\u201d \u201cI didn't say so.I said 45 and ab cents.\u201cAh! \u201cthats a different thing.\u201d It took several minutes for the crowd to see the difference.\u2014 P.S.This problem may have appeared on some paper's fourth page, but still there are people who will bite on chestnuts.; Slightly Mixed, There was an old preacher ouce who told some boys of the Bible lesson he was to read in the morning.\u2014 The boys finding the place glued together the connecting pages.The next morning he read on the bottom of the page: \u201cWhen Noah was 120 years old\u2018he took unto himself à wife, who was\u201d\u2014then turning the pages\u2014 140 cubits long, 40 cubits wide, built of gopher wood, and covered with pitch inside and out.\u201d He was naturally puzzled at this.He read it again, verified it, and then said : \u201cMy friends, this is the first time 1 ever read this in the Bible, but I accept it as evidence of the asperfion that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.\u201d The Splendor of Dress and the artificial eflects of cosmetics, no matter how deftly applied, can never make beautiful or autractive une who is subject to « muciation, nervous debility, or any form of female weakness.These must be reach- wl by inwanl epplicationn, and not by outward attempts ai concealment, and the Ia: diex may take hope from \u2018the fact that thousands of thcir sisters have made themselves more radiant and beautitul by the une of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription\u201d than they could ever hope to do by the aid of the uppliances of the toilet, [A Eastern man: fs it possible that you folks do not use pennies in the West?.Western man : Nover see \u2019em at all ; nothing smaller than nickles.Well, well.What do you do when you go to church?We don't go.\u201d + Thankfuls Vigils, When the irrepressible American bored down a thousand feet into the heart of Pennsylvania and extracted fabulous quantities of oil, and when the ladies became content with steel strips for corsets instead of whalehone, then ope of the geatest and most ad- veuturous in the industries of New England received its death blow.Our story relates to the time when there was bustle and business in an ancient and historic seaport, where now may be seen rotting wharves and tumble-down warehouses; when a dozen seagoing vessels were in the harbor where one is now seen ; when the stanch whale-ships went out on their long voyages and came back laden with the wealth that made the prosperity of the port; when sailors and sailors\u2019 families made up a large share of the population, and the old town really seemed to belong less to the land than to the sea.All this has changed and the incidents we relate could hardly occur there now.But human lives and human hopes and fears, happiness and misery are much the same everywhere.Well back from the harbor, the wharves and the busy part of the town, in that outskirt of it that was built on the rising ground that overlooked the town, bay and ocean, Captain Benson had his cottage.He was at home very little of the time, but when he was he loved a place like this, commanding a wide view of the ocean rim, where he could sit at the window by the hour and with his good glass discover the first indication of sails approaching the coast.He was a veteran wlaler gnd had for fully fifty years pursued the business on all seas.For the last two vears he had commanded the whale- ship **Chevalier.\u201d On his last voyage out he had said to his wife: It'll be the last, Nancy.Let me go once more to the South Pacific and fill the, old ship with oil, and then l'Il-stay here and pass the rest of my days with yon and Thankful.Jack Sturdy, my mate, will be the master; he\u2019s a fine fellow, Thankful.I must bring him here to see you.\u201d Then the old captain looked from his wife to bis daughter, and added the droll remark: \u201cFor my part, I'm beginning to think it's time I was better acquainted with you two.\u201d He went to sea again ; but be never | returned.A year later the eyes of the wife and daughter were gladdened by the sight of the ¢*Chevalier\u201d sailing into the bay.But instead of Lim they eagerly watched for, the mate came up slowly and Sorrowfully to tell them that the captain bad died of fever in Callao and was buried there, \u2018John Sturdy was now captain and was busy enough overhauling the ship, picking his crew and making all ready for his first voyage in command of the ship.But it was noticed that after everything had been done for the wife and daughter which the dying captain had requested, after their grief had somewhat subsided, Captain Sturdy still climbed the hill to the cottage at least three times a week.Presently the gossips of the neighborhood began to hint that Thankful Benson could tell why he came so often ; and not mare than thrcé montlis had passed since he first came when Mrs.Benson silenced them all with the plain statement : - Where fecdn\u2019t be any mystery about it ; Thankful and Captain Sturdy are engaged, and will be married as soon as proper respect for the memory of her father will allow.ItIl probably he ut thé 8nd of \u2018the \u2018Chevalier's® next voyage.\u201d John Sturdy was an expericoced seaman of thirty-five\u2014[ifteen years older than Thankful\u2014to whom his ship had been lus world, and to whom ideas Jove and marriage had appeared idle myths.He met Thankful Benson for the firat time (when alle fainted in his arms) upon his distressing errand to the cottage.She had grown upon his fancy with every visit and his heart was quick offered.With her it was a case of first love; he was all that her girlish imagination required.And when he took the girl hy the hand and asked the widow for her congent, she \u2018grniled\u2018\u2019and \u2018sighed all'at once.\u201cO, its well enough, Thankful,\u201d she said, \u2018if you must marry a sailor, but 1 was in hopes you wouldn't let your affections go seafaring.\u201d .«It's the way of our family, you kuow, mother,\u201d and the daughter swilet and looked up to her gailor trorst£ully.\u2019 \"Indeed it is, and a sorry and heartbreaking way it has been for the women.Not only in our family, but in all the scpmen'y families ig 14 true.For turty years I've known the port, and all of its sailors that have died in that time not one out of four has died in his bed.But the Lord wills it, and you may be happy.\u201d «When I knew I was to be the master of the harley » a oy s +1 (did not think should qu ven yourk'st as.oh \u201c aalior py n I and love the sea, with all its perils; but now, if Thankful asks me to quit it for her} I'm ready.\u201d \u201cIndeed, then I do ask you.\u201d \u2018But only at the end of this voyage.My word has been given to the owners and I cannot break it.The time will be short; let us live in hope of it.\u201d \u201cAh, this one last voyage,\u201d sighed Mrs.Benson, ruefully.\u201cPray God it may prove a better one than that of my poor dear, Simeon.\u201d The \u2018\u2018Chevalier\u201d sailed in March.The parting was a hard one\u2014quite as hard to the man as the maid.It need not be told why it was hard for her to give her young love\u2019s dream to the cruel chances of the sea; of him it must be said that, as love came late it, came strong as well.\u201cDon't go, Jack,\u201d she pleaded, amid her sobs.\u201cI know it's selfish, but I ean\u2019t help it.Don\u2019t leave me.I shall never see you again if you do.\u201d Her distress, Ler unbounded love, appealed to him powerfully.His resolution was severely shaken.Nothing but the sailor\u2019s ingrained honor and habitual self-discipline held him back as he said : \u201cFor heaven\u2019s sake, Thankful, don't tempt me away from duty.I leave you only because 1 must ; but the time will be short.All our arrangements are for a short voyage; expect me back by the next new year.I shall basten every Lhing for your sake.\u201d She went to a sleepless bed that night.In the morning her father\u2019s glass showed her the **Chevalier\u201d far out at sea.For many days she went about heavy-hearted.Her mother watched and pitied her, and ler own heart bled afresh.But youth is the season of hope and love is ite turn; and as the months of that spring and summer went by the girl felt more and move as though she were only enduilog a brief probation tolifelong happiness.News had reached her of the ¢*Chevalier\u201d and her beloved.First came a letter from Rio full of love and promise; then an incoming whaler reported speaking the \u201cChevalier\u201d in the far South Atlantic and that all on board were well; and then a letter from Lima.All was well, time was flying ; the promised time for the reunion was approaching.There is ravely, yet sometimes, a New England autumn when the mellow Indian summer is h November far into December, and the yeur fades away in days of veiled sunshine, when nature seems in a dream and winter is held back by some strange spell.It was so this year.Down ta the first day of January there was neither snow nor frost; a silvery mist sat upon the sea; the days were like May days, but with a softened tempered sun ; the nights were balmy anid glorious.As Thankful aod Her mother sat outside the cottage they could see the light from the town and the bay.The sounds of Idughter and talking came up to them; everything seemed under a spell.So it was on that New Year's cve.They sat there late talking of the dead\u2014of the_sabsent\u2014hardly daring to talk of the future.The night was bright and starlight eyerythitig was vigible, yet indistinct.At that place and time nobody had beeu abroad for an hour.All were at home keeping New Year'seve.Just then Thankful directed her mother\u2019s attention to a figure advancing slowly up the slope toward the cottage.\u201cWhere?\u201d asked Mrs.Benson.\u201cI don\u2019t gee ik\u201d J \u201cWhy, there,\u201d said Thankful, with outstretched finger.\u201cIts a man.He's coming this way.He\u2014he looks like Jack.\u201d She started up and advanced to mect him.Mrs.Benson strained her eyes, but could see nothing like à human figure.She saw Thankful ad- vaiice à \u2018few paces, stretch out her arms as if te embrace some one, and then fall senseless to the ground.When Mrs.Benson carried her in and revived ber she staïted up and crietl for Jack.\u2019 \u2019 \u201cMy dear child, be calm,\u201d said the mother.\u201cHe is not here.He has nat been here,\u2019 - \u201cYed, yes l=he was! [saw him-I almost touched him.He came close up to me, and then be disappeared and I could not sce him.\u201d The mother looked at her wigh grief amd awe.\u201cDear Thankful,\u201d she said, with deep golezanity, \u2018tbe strong ; cast your burden on\u2019 the\u2019 Lord, and bear your grief as I have borne wine.You have not seen John Sturdy; you liave seen his double.You wili never see him again.\" For the next year their lives went an with that sense of chastened sorrow that possesses those whose only hope in this world is reft away.Mother and daughter drew closer together in their companionship of bereavement.Lite for them was all in the past ; their pregens comfort was merely that of | xz afflicted, and thus to **learn the luxary of doing good.\u201d .The only news that had been received from the Chevalier\u201d was darkly confirmatory of the vision that Thaukful had seen.had been found floating in the South Pacific, empty and oarless; sa ship wrapped in fire from stem to stern had been sighted afar off in those waters, where help could not be extended nor inquiry made.They lived on during that vear, and sorrow grew old and was still as dark as ever.\u2018Their neighbors condoled with them and hoped that the time would be calmed, and that life might yet have some pleasure for these afflicted ones.Would that time ever come to Thankful?Surely not at such a time as this, when the new vear was again at hand.It could bring no hope nor promise to her ; but the tjme, as long as she should live, must be in her mind associated with his last words to her: *\u2018Expect me back by the next new year.I shall hasten everything for your sake.\u201d It was a very different New Year's eve from the last.The harbor was locked in,ice; snow covered the ground ; the air was stinging with frost.A clear sound of bells from the town, as the new year was gleefully rung in, came up to them as they sat by their fire.No speech had passed between them for an hour.As the last peal of the bells died away, Mrs.Benson said : \u201cIt is hard to bear, Thankful.We must learn to bear.\u201d The girl started up with clasped hands.and passionately exclaimed: \u2018But never to ses him again\u2014though I may live for fifty vears! I can\u2019t endure the thought.He came to me once after death\u2014why not again ?\u201d The door noiselessly uncloged and admitted a moving figure.It advanced toward them; they looked at the face spell-bound.It was pale, wan, waated, but it bore the likeness of John Sturdy.No womanly fright, no terror of the supernatural possessed Thankful in that moment.Glad to have seen his face again in answer to her appeal, her loving, yearning heat hungered for something more than his shadow.She started toward him\u2014she opened wide lier arms to him.\u201cOli, John,\u201d she said, \u201cdon\u2019t do as you did before! You said you would come back at this time.\u201d Her loviag arms.wotaldodr hima Thank God, it was not a shadow !\u2014it was John Sturdy\u2014weak, sick, feeble ; but it was he.They had the happiest kind of a New Year, after all.When the first greeting were over and Mrs.Benson had refreshed him with tea, and he and Thankful sat side by side, hand in hand, inexpressibly g'ad for want of words\u2014then he told the story of his adventures and escapes by sea and laud, out of all of which he had been saved to them, Some day he will tell it in print.It is too long to tell here.When he had finished Mrs.Benson asked: \u201cWhere were vou A year ago to-niglit, John?Thankful thought she saw you.\u201d He looked inquiringly at his betrothed.She told him all, \u201cThat was the night,\u201d Le said, \u2018when the officers and crew of the poor burning \u2018Chevalier\u2019 took to the boats in a heavy sea.One boat was swamped before my cys and all in it were drowned.Qurs rolled and piteh- ed so heavily in - the chopping waves that I expected we too should perish.It was just then, while I was Lopeless- ly directing the men at the oars, that a vision came before my eyes of the harbor here\u2014of the town and this cottage.lsaw you both, and Thankful held out her arms to me.From that instant 1 kvew we should be reunited.Yes, I knew it, quel | cherished the lelief and hugged it to my heart in all the dangers and labors that have beset me since.\u201d \u2014Selected.a ttl ~G\u2014\u2014 : Only Thiity-six Per Cent.;

the brakes were gradually let on and off at the proper points.The opening of the throttle and pulling a part of the train away from the falling cars by the engineer after his discovery of the situation, is approved.The efforts of the men to save all that could be saved and their manner of doing it is commended.The efforts of the railroad officials and their employés in the care of the injured and of \u2018the remains of the dead for identification by relatives and friends as well as the services rendered by the authorities of the town, who organized local assistance for them in the work of humanity have resulted in the identification and delivery to their friends of all dead, and all but eix of the wounded have been sent to their howes.These are being cared for by the company and are expected to recover save one, and there is hope for him.The board finds that the derailment and accident were caused by the breaking of the rail at the defective point above described, that the hreak- ing of this rail or the next one beyond it caused by the breaking of the central journal of the forward trucks of the eleeper Pilgrim in some way unknown to the board, but probably from the throwing of some partion of one of the broken rails violently against it, the web of the steel rail indenting the wrought-iron journal, straining and snapping it in its frosty state, and that thereupon the interior wheels of this truck began to run irregularly and to crowd ont the inner rail of the curve and to strike the sleepers with the broken ends of its rnal, and to sbrase and indent the \u2018hand rail in thé manner fidféated until coming to the tics of the bridge with deep, openings between them, the car was thrown from the bridge to the right, and those that went down to the front of it were dragged off the bridge in succession by the strong Miller couplers that bound this train together.The evidence was clear and conclusive that the sleeper Pilgrim\u201d was derailed ag above indicated; and the board so finds, and there was evidence tending to show that other cars were also off the rails before the bridge was reached, but upon this point the board has reached no conclusion and it regards this as incidental only ta its findings, The opening of the throttle of the locomotive by the engineer as be saw the rear of the train falling, detached the mail car from the train behind it and saved the remainder of the train from wrecking.The board regards it due to the corporation as well as to the public to state alga that from the evidence before it, it appears and the board finds, that the defect in the rail which caused the derailment was of such à character that it could not be detected until disclosed by the breaking of the iron.RECOMMENDATIONS.Upon the subject of recommendations the board are not yet prepared to report fully.There ig we ground of doubt that many who perished in this accident would have been released from the wreck alive had it not been for the stove fires and oil lamps which ignited the varnish, paint, draperies and other combustible material, almost as soofi as thé crash came, and caused the suffocation and burning of those who were pioioned beneath the rubbish before they could be extricated.Passenger-cars must be heated in some way in our latitude or winter travel must cease.How can this be done with the minimum of danger to life in case of wreck?It is already the belief of the board that the introduction of steam heating and electric lighting of care is not lkely to be much longer deferred, although their adoption in any known methods at present existing are not unattended with danger with certain classes of accidents.The suhject is undergoing at this time more thorough and premising investigations and experiments than ever before by the Legislatures at Albany, Boston and elsewhere and by boards of commissioners, inventors and railroad experts, and\u201d the results of practical tests now promised will afford - the oply safe criterion for in- telligont recommendation for adoption by the reads.That steam-keating | from the engine is far preferable ia the direction of sfely to life than the methods in general use, the board is already satisfied ; that it is practicable is also established by the testimony in this case.Unless some better system is adopted by the roads of the state before another winter, as at present advised, the adoption of steam- heating from the locomotives or other device without fires in the cars will be recommended by the board; and we do most carnestly recommend to the officials of Lhe roads of the state in behalf of the corporate as well as public interests that they give especis! attention to this subject by conference with officials of roads with which they have connection or business relations apd by affording opportunities for experiment upon such inventions as seem to present promise of value in the direction of safety from fire and suffocation, in cases of derailment and collisien.The subject of the want of a guard rail upon the approach to the bridge has been called to our attention.In view of the fact which we find, that the want of such a rail in no wise contributed to this accident, and the existence of such rail in this case would not have prevented the same, we do not feel called upon to make any recommendation in regard thereto at this time.But it seems proper at this time, and upon this matter, to advise all the railroad companies of the state to take into consideration the most approved methods in vogue anywhere for the better equipment of their bridge approaches where needed, with strong buttresses, flaring safety beams, or other practical devices to diminish the fatality of this class of accidents.Such reasonable precautions should be taken before rather than after the occurrence of any fatal calamity.By order of the board, ALrrep E.WaTtsox, Clerk.White River Junction, Feb.22, '87.Beware of Corn doctors who don\u2019t extricate corne.Ear doctors who advertise sure cures for deafness.Lotteries of all descriptions, which are a delusion and a snare.Lawyers who volunteer their services from \u2018\u2018charitable motives.\u201d Land schemes in Florida and elsewhere which give \u2018\u2018homes\u201d away.The lightning-rod man who is willing to take your notese for work performed.Civiale remadial agencies, which are generally advertised throngh the papers.Bohemian oats, whose manipulators are extending their operations in various directions.;

I saw the driver leap.Inside we all held on to the king pin.Down we went, and in another instant the for- - ward wheels struck the rock.The hind part of the coach was thrown forward and outward and the king vin snapped asunder like a reed.T box with all in it went over the precipice on its side, and through the window I fell out.Less fortunate than myself, the coach and my fellow tourists lodged in a crevice on the side of the precipice, some one hundred Meg eighty feet below the road.I was thrown out with such force that I.cleared this crag and kept on and down the full four hundred feet to the bed of the canyon and into a baak of snow, cutting my way into it as if it were water, head first.The Graaoite coach just to the rear of us, pulled into a notch in the rucks and the driver and some spectators got out and began to climb down to where I hed lodged.\u201cArmed with shovels they began to\u2019 - dig me out, and, it is curious io relate, the one flesh wound I received was from the blade of a shovel, which ploughed up a farrow in my ancle when they rescued me.I was finally dug out unconscious and to all appearance dead.I was left in the care of the toll keeper, and the Granite coach passengers, while the two drivers started for Aspen, thirteen miles distant, to summon surgical aid.One of the party returned at midnight with a doctor.In the meantime I had re- ° vived apd had, in company with the toll keeper, gone down to the dinner station, three miles below, and was administering to the wounded and dying.All the rest had sustained fright-, ful injuries in their fall of 180 feet, while I, falling over twice the distance E came out of the disaster sustaining no other injuries than the bruise inflicted ~ by the shovel.\u201d \u2018Whatever you do my boy, begin at the bottom and work up.\u201d \u201cBat, father, suppose I were going to dig a well?\u201d The land of wooden nutmmcgs bas * something to bosst of.Only four lawyer are in the Connecticut Legisla- tare.- A Haverill paper talka abdè its first families.In a shoe town one - would expect to hear about the last families instead.'

in the next House of Commons, the following classification will be found pretty accurate : Liberals.Conservatives, Ontario 39 52 Quebec 30 34 Nova Scotia 7 14 New Brunswick 7 9 Prince Edward Island 6 0 Manitoba 1 4 British Columbia © 1 90 114 There are three counties in the Province of Quebec unclassified, Gaspé, in which the election will be held next month ; Rouville, which returned Mr.Gigault, called an Independent Conservative, by acclamation, and Charlevoix, which has elected Mr.Cimon, who supported the Government in the last Parliament.Messrs.Bergeron and Amyot are classed with the Opposition, although they have always been supporters of the Govean- ment, but have been prominent in the Riel movement.There are others who except upon that point will support the Government in its general policy.There are yet eleven constituencies to vote, Gaspé in Quebec; Algoma in Ontario ; four in the Northwest Territories and five in British Columbia.In only seven of these constituencies are there Liberal nominations, Gaspé, Algoms, three in British Columbia and two in the territories.It is therefore confidently predicted that a majority of the elections to be held will send supporters of the Government.Several recounts will be had, but will probably not change the present standing of par- tics.One member, Mr.Perry of Prince Edward, is said to be disqualified by failing to resign his seat in the local legislature before becoming a candidate for the Commons.It is therefore apparent that the Government will be sustained by a majority sufficient for all practical purposes._\u2014 Ze.A Bad Wreck.The cast bound Atlantic and Pacific xmilroad passenger train, due in Needles, Cal., at 4:45 last eveuing, ran into a bridge four miles west of that place.The engine and

Brantford a few days since 8 Globe representative called on Mr.A.E.Gamudge, High Secretary of the Canadian Order of Foresters, who has just taken possession of his new office in the Heyd Block, opposite the Postoffice.The premises are commo- dions, neatly furnished, and in every way admirably adapted to the wants of this flourishing aud popular organization.The growth Las been so rapid wince the founding of the Order, in 1879, that Mr.Gammage devotes his whole time to its interests, and a small staff of assistants is required.After inspecting the office surroundings, the conversation drifted into a review of the history of the Order and its aims, and the following interesting facts were elicited :\u2014 The C.O.F.originated in the feeling that a purely Canadian Society was needed ; one entirely independent of control from the United States or elsewhere, and the fact that nearly six thousand members have already eu- rolled themselves in its membership proves conclusively the justification of this conclusion.ITS AIMS.The members are banded together to foster genuine, practical brotherhood, and cultivate that spirit of fraternal interest, so needful in view of our mutual dependence on each other.While other societies have had the aame noble aims, vet failures have resulted in consequence of a departure from a sound business basis.These warning notes have been heeded by the founders and managers of the C.O.F., and the result js that the funds are economically handled, the membership charges are low and the security given to the insurers is \u2018\u2018gilt- edged.\u201d In the language of the Soci- ely\u2019s prospectus : \u2018It aims to shut out sectarian, political or class prejudices that would interfere with the true peace and happiness of a united brotherhood.\u201d ITS BENEFITS.Each Court provides for the attendance of a skilful physician during illness or disability, amd gives a weekly allowance of from $3 to 85 during the time a member is unable to work.On the death of a member the Court at once contributes towards the funeral expenses the sum of from $15 to $40.Lastly, after satisfactory proof of the death of a member in good standing, the wife, children, or legal heirs of the deceased receives from the Order one thousand dollars.SECURITY OF THE FUNDS.Realizing how absolutely necessary it is to inspire perfect confidence in the minds of those who propose insuring, the managers exact ample security from every one who controls the funds, and such safeguards are provided as to ensure the payment to those for whose benefit it is designed.The machinery is simple and yet in perfect accord with recent legislation in reference to mutual benefit and insurance associations.Any person or persons desirous of further information as to the advantages offered, or as to the methods of organizing a court, can apply to R.Elliot, Listowel, H.C.R.; A.McNeil, Peterboro\u2019, H.V.C.R.; Mayor Nee- lands, H.Treas., Wingham; or A.E, Gammage, H, Sec,, Brantford, Ont.As evidence of the good accomplished it may be added that already over one hundred and sixty thousand dollars have been paid out in insurance and for sick benefits, and volumes could be written of the comfort imparted and the substantial aid extended to thousands of dependent ones in their hour of need.In addition to this there js a reserve fund on hand of nearly thirty thousand dollars, Sych a showing reflects the highest credit on the gentlemen who have conducted the affairs so successfully, and gives the strongest possible assurance of a prosperous future and a constantly widening field of operations.\u2014 Toronto Globe.For further particylary and gpplica- tions for membership into oui local Court, Court Maple, No, 15, Stanstead

shattered by an explosion of the hot-water heater while the frain was entering Sidney Station, Il, et midnight.At the time the car was filled with sjeeping passengers, who were thrown in confusion about the floor.Some were seriously hurt by broken glass and pieces of Iron and wood, but no one received injuries that are likely to prove fatal.Almost before the train could be stopped and the pasgengers rescued from their predicament, the cu caught fire from the lamps which had been shattered and from the fire under the heater and was almost cotirely destroyed.Enough time was #orded, however, for the passengers to gather tbesr scpbtered effects and escape.Had the (rain been going at the usual high rate of speed there might bave peen great lost of life., Women who have the habit of

Boston at 4:45 p.in., aud the train leaving for South Framiugham at 9 p.m.Bo thoroughly satisfied are the officials of the road with the experiment, that they have given orders for the immediate equipment of the entire trains which leave Duston for New York aud New York for Boston at 4:30 p.m.daily.Other trains are to be equipped as rapidly as possible, and the patrons of the Boston and Albany will rejoice by another season in brilliantly illuminated cars.So far as the passengers are concerned, the experiment has been most satisfactory, says a writer in the Boston Herald.At first some passengers evidently imagined that the car was private and after looking in, quietly turned into other cars, but the regular patrons quickly discovered that the car was open to all, and now a person kas to be on hand promptly in order to secure a seat in that car.As the car stands in the station each platform is lighted by two large incandescent lamps suspended from the top directly over the steps.Entering the car, the passenger is at once struck with its brilliant appearance.from the top of the car are two rows of lamps, 10 on each side of the monitor roof.By this arrangement, they come about midway between two persons occupying a seat, and thus each has an unobstructed light.The lamps are of the commou incandescent Style, each 16-candle power, and the light is softened by dependent bell-shaped opalescent shades.The lightis as steady as from any incandescent lamp in a building, and the putting on or letting off the brakes appears to have no effect upon it.\u2014_.A

drift badly.\u2018The traine on the Sioux City branch of the Omaha Road were abandoned and those on other lines delayed several hours.This morning all lines report blockades.The storm is still raging, with no prospect of abating.In some places the drifts are already many feet deep, causing more trouhle and delay than any previous blockade this winter.New York, Feb.26.\u2014A driving snow storm set in over the city at 10.80 this morning and bids fair to continue all day.The snow aud wind storms in the northern part of this State and New England have caused great delay to the mails.The Postal Agent on the Shore Line from Boston which reached here at 7 o'clock this morning says that 15 connections were missed, and that Lhe mails from northern New England were from four to 12 hours behind.It is reported that the recent high winds buve piled the snow in the cuts from three to 12 feet deep.At noon the wind was at Lhe rate of 30 miles an hour, and cautionary gignals were out at the United States Signal Service Byreaus.The heavy snow has greatly impeded traffic on the streets.The horse car lines and heavy traffic are delayed, the snow being very heavy and drifting.The ferry boats sre also delayed and find great difficulty in making their slips.Much delay is also experinced among the incoming and outgoing shipping.WILKSBARRE, Pa., Feb.26.\u2014One of the flercest snow storms of the season began early this morning and continues this evening unabated fury.About ten inches of snow have fallen.The snow is a foot deep on the level in the vicinity of Pottsville and all trains coming into the city are beliind time.Operations at the collieries are seriously obstructed.At Harrisburg and Shenandoah from 9 to 12 inches of snow fell.Rain then began falling and still continues.All the

man could clear himsclf the gouger struck them.\u2014 Notwithstanding the severe weather and bad roads, there was a large congregation at the memorial service held in the Methodist church, Stanstead Plain, last Sabbath.The pastor preached an impressive sermon from Amos 10:12.Appropriate reference was made to the departed friends, viz.Messrs.Taylor and Rogers, and Mrs.Bates.\u2014 A conductor on a

house, on Sunday morning, Feb.27th.Mr.Merrill had been suffering for several months from an affection of the stomach, but for the past two or three months had been quite comfortable and had done considerable work, and it was hoped he was to regain his former good health.On the 24th he was at Georgeville at an auction and seemed quite well, but the following morning he was seized with violent pains which continued with but very little intermission until his death, which was apparently caused by the rupture of an internal abscess.He was in good circumstances and leaves a widow and three daughters of mature age.Increase Bullock is in a very feeble condition and it is thought that he can not long survive.His disease seems to be old age with ap affection of the lungs.David Halley is in a dangerous condition from an affection of the kidneys, and it is thought can not recover.Gilford Magoon is somewhat better.Ezra Bigelow has sold Lis farm formerly known as the William Bullock place, and for many years owned and occupied by Joseph F.Bullock.Henry N.Bigelow is the purchaser, and has moved on to it.C.A.Rexford, the purchaser of H.N.Bigelow\u2019s place, is about moving on to the same.John Taylor has lately lost a cow under \u201crather curious circumstances.After a sickness of a week without any relief she died, when an examiuna- tion disclosed a long darning needle piercing her heart, the other organs near being in a diseased condition therefrom.It is supposed that she swallowed it in some apple or potato pariugs.Fitch Bay.The elections passed off quietly here, w.th the exception of too much poor whiskey, which was of the fighting order in some cases, nothing serious resulted however.Votes polled 149, with a Liberal majority of 43, quite a change in the sentiment has taken place in this part of the town.In 1882 at Fitch Bay and Georgeville in about 150 votes the Liberal majority was 70, in 1887 the same places with 250 votes gives the Liberal majority at only 19.Mr.George Brown, on Merrill's Hill, had the misfortune to lose a good cow on Tuesday morning, by her getting cast in the barn.An oyster supper was got up at the residence of Mr.O.N.Clefford on the night of the election when between 30 or 40 of the boys celebrated the victory in that way.\u201d C.L.Lee has moved \u2018 into the tenement of T.B.Rider, lately vacated by John Gardine.The storm

expected to be out again in a few days.The weather has been extremely fitful during the last few days, the worst stiow blizzards and blockades of the winter having occurred within the last five days.We had no mail on Friday last, and are not likely to get one to-day\u2014Monday\u2014on account of heavy drifts of snow.The directors of the Stanstead Co.Ag'l Society had a meeting ou Saturday last nt which a prize list for the current year was adopted, and which will be published in due time.- The Liberals naturally feel sore at the result of the elections, and their old cry of corruption is being raised to give vent to their great disappoiut- ment.Very little ill Teeling has been wiadifested, however, and in general parties remain, as they should, on friendly terms with cach other.pe

Ob, that is nothing! I am always happy.And what a sigh, auntie! I believe you are still pining for your mosquitoes and your garlic.\u201d elder woman sil es gently, and the small hand extended to her.¢ she is slave to the owner of that little hand one can see at the tirst glance.Though she is a stern-featured woman, with a face full of possible reservations and certain power, and tbe lines and marks of long years replate with unutterable grief, there are sigus too upon it of natural tendencies bravely repressed.and of self-abnegation that has yot failed to embitter the strong courageous spirit within.One firm to bear and swift to read and sure to compre- bend, sbe sits here calmly with the girl's band in bers, as though po bitterness from out the cruel past had blanched ber soft dark bair.\u201c1 wonder what our neighbours will be Like 7\" asks the young girl vivaciously, \u201c Do you know any of them ?\"* \u201c Only by hearsay.Yourgrand-uncle, ing his last illness in Florence\u2014 where, 88 you know, I went to attend bim-\u2014used to of some of them at Sir George acd Lady Bouverie lite with their two sons, ana somewhere close to them the Ponsonbys of the Hollows; but this is only guesswork.I hardly know where they live, or if they live at ** Are the Ponsonbys a large famiiy 2\" * No\u2014ouly father and daughter.Mr.Ponsonby is brother to Lady Bourverie, and comes of a good old family, but a one.Heisa great scholar, I be- ieve, but rather dreamy, and a bookworm ; he reads with Joune men for the Army, or something like that.You see I am a little obscure on all points.\u201d \u201cI am glad he has a ter, at least ; I have s0 seldom had girl friends.I wish, too, Lady Bouverie\u2019s family meant one son and one daughter; don't you?\u201d \u201c1 don't think so, my dear.Experience has taught me t young men are preferable to young women\u2014one young woman \"\u2014fondiy\u2014\u201c excepted.\" \u201cAh, that is because you are such a sad flirt I\u201d says the girl gaily, at which they both laugh without reservation as at some very superior joke.\u201c Alss for vne\u2019s secret sins; they are sare to find one out !\u201d murflfurs the elder woman lightly, running her fingers with a lingering fondness through the soft short rings of sunny hair that cover the pretty head s0 near to ber.A little laugh breaks from Dolores.She springs to ber feet, and, throwing from her the shawl that has shielded her from the evening breeze ; as though somewhat impatient of the care lavished upon ber, runs eagerly to the garden on her left.Here flowers throng her path.Having made a delicate raid upon them, she returns again to ber aunt\u2019s side, and flings herself upon the grass at her feet.Her invasion of the summer garden has borne fruit.She now lies, with her head well thrown back against Miss Maturin's knee, admiring, with leisurely grace, the tall white lily in ber band, the sweet result of her assault.* Tell me, auntie,\u201d she says presently, raising her eyes to the pale face above ber\u2014* how long is it since my granduncle died ?\"* ** Just soventcen years.\u201d \u201c Why, bis death is as old as my birth I\"\u2014* Yes.\" As though a shadow from out the long buried past has come to hes with the girl's words, Miss Maturin starts, and a quick frown falls upon her brow.\u2018 Seventeen years!\u201d says Dolores.what 8 long, long time! And yet, though he left you this place, you never once came to sce it.How unkind of you to hide its beauties from me until now! Why did you not come home sooner, and bring we with you ?\u201d The shadow deepens on the elder woman's face.\u201cPerhaps I had a fancy for travelling,\u201d she says slowly.A lasting one, wasn's it?But I wonder you could keep away from this place, knowing that it was so beautiful.\u2019 \u201cI didn't know; I never saw it until now.\u201d * Not when your uncle was alive ?\u201d \u201cThere is nothing so wonderful in that.He was always abroad, and we had our own place up in the North.\u201d ** As nice 8 home as this ?\u201d \u201cNo.A bleak, cold, barren placo\u2014a hateful place! I never wish to see or hear of it again.\u201d There is suppressed horror in her tone.\u201cWhy?Did my mother die there ?° questions the girl softly.\u201c No.\u2019 Miss Maturin, getting up somewhat abruptly, moves so as to stand behind Dolore's chair, and leans upon the back of it.\u201cLook at that dying sunset,\u201d she says quickly.\u201cCould anything be more lovely ?Mark the clear streaks of orange and crimson\u2014such straight pure bars, sach\u2014\u2014\" \u201cIt is as perfect as all this perfect soupe; fon! can er ire of it.ut where my mother die, auntie ?\u2018Was it abroad 2\u201d * Yes, abroad.Keep that shawl more closely round your chest, Dolores ; there is often chill in these summer winds.à pretty little shawl it is! Where was it we bought it ?Geneva\u2014eh ?\u201c No\u2014Lucerne.Have you forgotten ?It was just such an evening as this we saw fell in love with it.But where abroad did my mother die.auntie?In \u201cYeu, In France.\u201c Miss Matorisn looks round her a little helplessly, as | if distressed.\u201cAbout your grand-uscle,\u201d | she says rapidly\u2014* you were asking me about him just now, were you Lot?; Such an eccentric old man as he was, | but not altogether unlovable.He had his heart set on Italy, though why none of us know.He bad no kin there, no friend, no love, and no special desire for ait that I could see ; yet he declined to be happy out of Florence.When dying, | his greatest consolation was in the * thought that his bones would lie there for ever.\u201d I can understand him,\u201d says the girl dreamily, \u201cTo lie for ever at rest is slately Florence would have its charm ; i but, to me, to die in such a land as this, | near the waving corn and the scented flowers, with the cool night.wind sighing above my grave, would be a greater happiness.* Better live in such a land,\u201d said Miss Maturin hastily.* And is this an evening on which to talk of death or the grave?\u201d \u201cYou are right.Let us go back, then, to our original topic,\u201d acquiesces the girl gaily, with unconscious cruelty.\u201c Tell me about my mother.But come round here to me first, Lallie ; I cannot see your face there.\u201d Miss Maturin, after a faint hesitation, oing back to her seat, turns her face to Bor piece with a straight but rather forced gaze.\u201cWhy not rather talk about your coming life here ?\" she says.* To-morrow\u2014any other time will do for that ; but now I want to know something real of my mother.All you have yet told me is so little, s0 vague, so shadowy.But to-day, when we have come to her own land, the longing is strong upon me to know more of her.There must be something in the air tonight which compels me to speak of er.\u201d \u201cThere is so little to tell,\u201d says Miss Maturin.Her voice has lost its kindly ring, and now sounds constrained and harsh.* A young life cut short in its nineteenth year\u2014what would there be of any mowent in it ?* \u201cTell me,\u201d says the girl, leaning towards her, the soft wind roughening her pretty short hair as she moves\u2014 * was her marriage a happy one?Was it \"\u2014leaniug even closer to her, the better to watch her face, in glad expectation of ber answer\u2014** a love marriage ?\u201d But no answer comes to her.A deadly silence seems to bave enveloped Miss Maturin ; it lasts for quite & minute\u2014a long time, when two large gray eyes are watching one in puzzled surprise.At length, by a supreme effort, she breaks it.\u201cHow can I tell?\u201d she says coldly.\u201c1 was not with her at the time ; I was in Italy with my uncle.You have surely forgotten I\" ** But you saw her afterwards, when you took we\u2014a little baby\u2014from Ler arms ?\u201d * From her dying arme\u2014yes; but that was no time for confidences, or thoughts of worldly love.\u201d \u201cNo true love can be worlily,\u201d says the girl absently; then, with a little playful laugh, * But that I koow you would not dare do it,\u201d sha says, smoothing lightly the hand that lies in hers, \u201cI should eay you were trying not to answer me.\u201d * Why should I do that ?\u201d \u201cI don't know\u2014perhaps\u2014 Why will you never speak of my mother to me, auntie?Is it\u2014is it because you did not love her 2\u201d ** Perhaps it is because I loved her too well I\u201d returns Miss Maturin, an ashen tint overspreading her face.She shrinks as sbe says it, and, stooping, presses upon the girl's slender fingers a trewulous caress.A sudden flood of colour springs into Dolores\u2019 cheeks, her lips quiver.* Forgive me !\" she whispers, slipping one arm round her aunt's neck.* I was cruel to you?It hurts you, I can Dow see, to speak of her! How could I urge you 80?Our dead is always so precious, and I\u2014 ¢ It is nothing.Do not distress yourself about it.It is over already.But you are right, child \"\u2014with a visible effort\u2014*\" it does Lurt me to speak of\u2014 your mother !\" \u201c And my father ?\"\u2014timidly.\u201cAll are dead\u2014all gone,\u201d says Miss Maturin.in a clear cold voice.* Let us not bring them to life again.Letthe st lic.The present only is our own; t us be content with it.Beloved child\u201d \u2014with sudden exciioment\u2014* think of the glorious sunset, the sky, the sea, the dowcrs, all thas you tell me you love, but never of the jours gone by!\u201d \u2018* Dearest, I will think of nothing that can cause you pain; and here, in this bappy England, yoa will forget your early griefs\u2014with me to love you; is it not 80?You will stay here, auntie?You will not want to wander again ?\u201d \u201cI Lope not\u201d\u2014very quietly; but some piercing thonght disturbs the treacherous calm.* I hope,\u201d she says again suddenly, with vainly chidden passion, ** that nothing will ever happen to drive us away from this place of refuge.\u201d * Why, suutie, how strangely you say that!\u201d says the girl.* What is it, then ?\"\"\u2014softly, with the sweetest anxiety.\u201cNothing, child! Nothing, my beloved one! But, when ons has suffered much, one has doubts even in one's happiest hours.\u201d ** Must all suffer ?'\u201d asks Dolores seriously, her eyes full o! pitying wonder, not so much for herself, as for the world at large.*¢ Nay, not all, Some are more fortunate than others\u2014yet all must feel the knife.To some it is blunt, to some sharp and poisoned as a serpent's fang.Many have seemingly prosperous lives; but there is always death, my darling\u2014 the most prosperous cannot conquer that! Alas, what a bird of ill omen I am to my own bright bouny bird! But you would have me speak ; und, after all, sweetheart, there is only oue grief that can quite rend the heart in twain.\u201d * And that ?* The beautiful childish lips are parted, the utarry eyes are opened wide.\u201cIs dishonour! But the very breath of it must not come nigh you.It cannot \u2014it shall not\u2014after all these years!\" she exclaims fiercely, Lut so low that her last words do not reach Dolores\u2019 ears, * Dishonour ?Aly, jeu that is what would touch ono!\" she cays thoughtfully.\u201cfe shall not touch yon.\u201d \u201c No\u2014no, of course not; and yet \"\u2014 slipping from her chair down upon her kneep, and casting her pretty half-naked arms across Miss Meturin\u2019s lap\u2014* you speak \"\u2019' \u2014 glancing at ber wistfully\u2014 \u2018as if it had coma near you; and how could it, without touching me ?\u201d \u201cI was bnt imagining a case.Tut, child !\"\u2014with a swift frown.* Must one never converse except of personalities?Once in à way perforce one wanders aficld.And, as for suffering of any sort, what has it to do with you while your old aunt is here to protect you ?Come\u2014forget this idle conjecturing ; let us rather think and plan for a happy morrow that shall but the cow moucemeut of mauy happier ones.\u201d CHAPTER IL \u201cI think our new ncighbours are likely to prove interesting,\u2019 says Lady Bouverie, aweeying her black fan indolently to and fro.\u201c That means they are either savages or endowed with rarer attributes than most,\u201d returns a young man, who is busying himself pulling the ears of a black-and-tan terrier.Another young man, lounging against the open window, says nothing.t is a sultry afternoon in mid.June\u2014 heavy, burdensome, because of its unbroken heat.The wind has forgotten the earth; the roses\u2014its \u2018lovers\u2014ars drooping outside in the garden; the te | suntiowers, stately aud grad in these long stiff beds, are glowing and sighing in vain.* Miss Matarin I thought cold in manner, but aristocratic in appearance,\u201d goes on Lady Bouvorie.* She is of guod biood beyond question, the Maturins of Egley, from whom they all come, being quite everything one could dssire.They can count as wany generations as the ordinary parvenu his years.\" \u201cCan Miss Maturin count many years ?asks the young man with the terrier, balf insolently.* More than you can, certainly.She is about forty or forty-five, 1 should say.2 Alas and slack! And is she the beiress?Are all my food hopes to be wo cruelly dashed ?Is there no saving clause?Is whe the whole of our new neighbours ?\" ; « My dear Bruno, do let Fifa\u2019s ears alone; I'm sure shecannot like that incessant pulling! No; there is & niece \u2014such & pretty creature, all warmth and sunshine, the most extreme contrast to the aunt, who to Ine appeared really rather forbidding.It seems she\u2014the niece\u2014is the beiress, as she inherits all her aunt's property, which is considerable, both here and in the North.A charming girl I thought her.\" For an instant her eves wander to her elder son, leaning idly half in, balf out of the window, and apparently indifferent to the conversation.His indifference seems at this moment to cause ber some annoyance ; she frowns slightly, and ta) her foot upon the floor with unmis- tabable impatience.She is à tall woman of the buny type, with a cold haughty expression, an eye like an eagle, and a Roman nose.Her lips are as thin as her sympathies, her eyes as colourless as her sentiments.Neither of her sons, except in height, in the least resembles ber.They are both tall well-knit young men, with sufficient good looks to command a second glance, Bruno, the ounger, being a sbade darker than ick, the elder, and perhaps a shade more companionable to the ordinary acquaintance.; \u201cI will take your word for it all,\u201d says Bruno.\u201cI feel she is the girl for me! Warmth and sunshine and an heiress who is a beauty is as much as any reasonable fellow can expect.At all events, I shouldn't cavil at it.\u201d \u201cI hope you intend to make a long stay in the country now, Richard,\u201d says Lady Bouverie, turning to her elder son and ignoring the frivolity of the younger.\u201c It is quite time you took some little interest in the estate.Your father, as you know, is usoless.His library\" \u2014 with a sudden cold sneer\u2014* is his kingdom.There he dreams away his life in imaginary moods\u2014 ue } 1 soe Adios Booms, Brey He fancies there are priceless treasures on those dusty shelves of his.\u201d \u201c* His mind to him a kingdom is,\u2019 *\u2019 quotes Dick Bouverie, speaking for the first time.\u2018Happy is the man who can retain hie fancies\u2014however foolish \u2014when old age has caught him! Let my father enjoy his Looks in peace!\u201d \u201cIt is your part to ensure him that eujoyment,\u201d says Lady Bouverie, with ill-repressed sharpness.\u2018If you attend to the accounts, or at least overlook Watkins now and then, there is no reason why your father should pot moulder away with his books, unmo- lestad by words of mine.All servant: r.quire a master\u2019s cye upon them.\u2018 * Have you çot it, Dick ?\" 8 ys Bruno laughing.\u201c Look at me till I see if I should quail before it.Very poor effect indeed! If I were you I should grow one in my forehead; it would be far more imposing.\u201d \u201c I thought you said you were going to the stables, Bruno ?\" says bis mother, regarding him with some disfavour.** No; I am going to stay here and listen to you.The people with whom Fifa and I love to associate with seldom drop pearls of wisdom from their lips.Do they, Fifa?'\u2014to the terrier, who who barks a loud \u201c No,\u201d and lifts a fore- paw in anxious expectation of another word of recognition, \u201cI uate farming and Watkins and the country generallv,\u201d interposes Dick, with a gesture of dislike, \u201cStill, if your duty \u2014\u201d \u201cI hato that even more! What's the matter with Watkins?Why can't he jo on alone in his management, as he done for years.\u201d * There isn\u2018tanything the matter with him,\u201d interrupts Bruno, * beyoad au oppressive smell of corduroy! He is quite well\u2014no ailment of any sort, as far as I can see.\u201d \u201c He grows decidedly careless and in many ways unsatisfactory,\u201d says Lady Bouverie; * he is, in fact, too old for his post.If I had my way, he should be dismissed at once, aud a younger, a more competent man put in his place.\u201d * But naturally you shrink from discharging one who Las served you faithfully for over twenty years,\u201d says Dick gravely, flicking a little speck of dust from his waistcoat.A dull colour flames into his mother's cheeks, The latent antagonism between her aud Ler older son springs into life at his words, and speaks through hor angry eyes.va You mistake me.I shrink at nothing !\" she says haughtily.\u201cIt seems a pity,\u201d strikes in Bruno judiciously, marking the signs of coming storm, \u201cthat my many graces and speaking virtues should bave induced my cousin, the Admiral, to leave me that little place of mine, or I should have been delighted to give my talents to tho overhauling of Watkins,\u201d I find him a very attractive old person, and rich in humour when I can understand him, which is seldom.\u201d \u201cHe cau do nothing,\u201d says Lady Bouverie shortly.**He can\u2014be can take snuff!\" corrects her younger son mildly.\u201cI'd back him against any one at that, You underrate him, mother.You should at least \u2019\u2014reproachfully\u2014\"\u2018 be just, and give the man his due.\u201d \u201cI hope you mean to this season,\u201d says Lady Bouverie, addressing her elder son.\u201cIt is now six months since you have been at home ; ou should spare us a little of your time.t is\" \u2014coldly\u2014\" for your own interest alone I speak.If, at your father's death; you find things all at sixes and sevens, blame yourself, and remember I warned you.\u201d \u201cWell, I'll think it over,\u201d returns Dick discontentedly.\u201cYou relieve me however when you remind me that my carelessness will make only myself a sufferer.By the-bye, I'm going down to the Hcllows this afternoon, Any messago for Audrey ?\u201d \u201c Say Izhall bo pleased if she will come up and dine with me to-night.I suppose it is only right I should show her some small civility at times,\u201d says Lady Bouverie, with a half frown, * although she and ! are so totally dissimilar in every way that she perpetually jars upon nf8.How she can be my niece aud still possess her objectionable ways is aud always will be to me a mystery.She will expect me of course to ask her here a little, now you and Bruno are at home.\u201d \u201cI shall give her your message.\u201d returns Dick, moving through the window on to the balcony without.** As you will be passing Greylands,\u201d says Lady Bouverie, regarding him calmly, avd speaking with the constrained air of one who is following u an after-thought, \"I wish you would call upon Miss Maturin and tell her I shall send down to-morrow those pelar- goniums she spoke of yesterday.\u201d \u201cI shall remember,\u201d answers Dick, as, with his usual idle step, he goes down the stous stairs to the award be.noath.\u201cI'm rather glad that old place has got 8 mistress at last,\u201d remarks Lrono lcasantly, as he too rises to pay his ony-deferred visit to tho stables, or the nel, or somen ive up town 7 #Yes: itis an advantage.Is is tce | fine an old house to be let sink into decay, and moneyed poopie are always to be desired.We are not sufficiently rich ' ourselves to regard mouey with disdain, or rather to pretend to do so; and Richard, when he marries, should think | of\u2014\" She pauses abruptly.* I hope be will not forget my message abous these gouluwms,\u201d she concludes, with careful carelessness.** Aud 1 hope be will deliver it to the charwing niece ; don't you ?\"* supple.meuts Bravo innocently, as Le strolls out of the room, Fifa at his heels.Meantime Dick, sa-mtering slowly over the fields to the 1loliows, where his cousin lives, with a frown on his brow and an impatient light in his dark blue oyes\u2014a light that kindlea there all too readily beueath his mother's touch\u2014is thinking of many things.It is growing towards evening, and now at last a faint breeze bas uprisen, flying inland from the sea-cliffs, full of fresh and salty sweetness, to dance werrily amongst the swaying branches of the trees.It wakon the drowsy birds to sudden life, and thrush and lark and linnet have all come forth to unite in sue grand evensong that thrills through wood and vale and bosky dell.On the tennis-ground of the Hollows & girl is standing talking somewhat upathetically to u young man of the washed-out type.Seeing Bouverie ad- vanciug from under the limes, she say» sowethiug to this polite nonentity which sends him racing towards tbe house.She is a tall girl, with & pretty secite figure, and a face that would.be beyond reproach but for a certain touch of repressive pride and studied insolence\u2014 arising from education more that nature \u2014tbat characterises .it.The eyes, large, and of pure bazel, look at one out of a haze of haughty doubt; the chin is determined, the bair of à lustrous brown.Poverty, mingled with the traditions of may generations, has raised this cloud opon a brow that should be possessed of contentment only, Just now she is advancing towards Dick with a firm step and a prepared smile, and a little involuntary curl about her handsome lips.\u2018Ah, my dear cousin \u2014 you?\" she says, coming slowly up to him, her tone genial, her expression belying her tone.* Why, 1t ia quite six months, I think, since last we met!
