The practical, comâ€" monâ€"place stage of declaration had not yet been reached ; it- was the time of broken hints and secret; hand-pres- sures, of stolen kish'es and general felicity. Florry walked on air, and forgot that it was not her native ele- ment. till one unlucky day the clouds melted under her feet, and let. her down it:- euth again with a rude thump. , ' . X It was the day of a celebration giv- en in Bluekvllle tn commemorate {emu event perfectly in interesting to the world at large, butot'the very last importance in the eyes of the Black- villiuns. Fm" though Blackville was Mime place, its inhabitants were men and women very much like other peo- ple, and measured the universe on the Bluckville‘yardstiek after the ortho- dox and proper fashion. “And grannWthe yams you spin all day, In the corner of? ‘he door, ‘ \Von't be half so Ian and so tough as mine, \Vheu I see you al ashore You maybe won’t swallow flying fish, But I‘ll bring you one or two ; And some Maltese lace for topflail gear, And a fan fm you know Who. ‘ “ Tell Bessle I don't forget. her ; But every Saturday mght, \Vhen we’re chatting of 11mm in the twil'ght, And our pipes are ail alight, And I'm asked to toast the lass I love, I name sweet Bessie Green ”: (O father, to think of him doing that, And 111? monkey scarce fifteen !) This young lady was not Blackvilleâ€" born. She came from a much larger town,a town which would have turned up its nese very high indeed at, poor little Blackville, had it; happened to be aware of its existence at all. For which reason, the Blackvillians natu- rally looked with admiring awe upon it and all that pertained to it. Miss Adela, then, being a visitor just ar- rived among them, her debut was an "event second only to the great event commemorated by the day. She was not; prettier than half'jheir Own girls there present, but ehe was wholly un- like them in dress and style: in a word, else was something new; and if‘ novele ie one of the greateit of all charms anywhere, it certainly ie not the least, so in a small country town where a wholesome fear of his neigh- bor holds each in decent restraint. So all eyes were fastened on the sfirangor, when, 11: a rather late hour7 she made her appearance on the ground, which in unwise discomposed her. She settled herself and her flenuees, gave a final toss to the frizzy wilderness eurmounting her little head, and, turning back her fan-para. sol, looked around her with .much the air with which a traveler, stranded among savages; might- observe their barbarous customs. ' The fesiivity. heginning with an oration1 ended with a pic~nic in a grove just outside the town, a magnificent maple grove, whose violet~scented solimda it was almost. a sum to pro- fane with the clatter of hardware and the popping of ginger-beer corks. Charley Dennis and Flow-y were there together, as they were together every- where. Bnt umbrtunately for Flori-y, Miss Adela Brent was there also. ‘ You mustn’t be hard on the writing, ‘ For what: with ropes and with tar, M y fingers won’t crook as they ought to, And spelling is harder far ; And every minute a lurch comes And spells the look of my i‘s ; And 1 Not ’em instead of dot 'em.

RICHMOND 11 3‘ Term If Flori-y had been a heroine, she would probably have broken her heart; have taken to writing poetry and reducng her weight- at. the rate ofae pound 1! day. But then she was not a bit of a heroine; an army of little brothers and aistersx to attend to left her no time for poetrywriting, while Blackville, although, as before stated, an insignificant place, had a bracing mountain air which forced people to eat in spite of themselves. So lé‘lorry, occupied with small frocks and ntockings did not lose her pretty color or roundnesn, and if there \vere m; ‘ “ASL andzsighs on the “ sweetes‘c‘lipsj’ \jhy, that iu only what is happening every Yes, that was it. New browns sweep clean, and Miss Adela’a flounces and l'rizzes had swept Charley quite away from his moorings. In a week, she could turn him round her little. finger; in another, he had as com- cumplctely deserted “ the softest. eyes and sweetest" lipS‘," asif that and many a like speech had been but emptyair. "'"" ‘ “"3; "" '7 V ""[I' ' (J ' a day to eyea and lips that are neither mm nor sweet. No, Florry had no notion of sitting for a picture of despair. She had a stout little heart of her own, as» brave as it was warm, and whatever the trial, she “grinned and bore it,”nâ€"~ metaphorically speaking; Nature, in bestowing on her a pair of dimples, having put the grin sardonic out of her power. It was very hard, very provoking, very cruel ot' Charley, no doubt, but still it was Charley, and she was not going to make an outcry against him. That was Florry‘s way of looking at it; there are such peo- ple now and then in this medley of a world. But her cousin Julia, Fred ‘Villin's sister was quite of another mind. Julia was a young lady who had opinâ€" ionH and liked to speak them. She considered that; Charley Dennis was behaving himself in a weak, wicked. and altogether disgraceful manner, which Flurry was bound to resent; and this quite apart from her petplan of making a match between hercottsin and her brother, for Julia, if preju- diced, was honest. So she had no mercy for the truant Charley, abusing: him as often and as openly as Florry’zs reserve would allow, till one day the barrier broke down, and let- the full tide at her wrath sweep over. Oh. what, a cloudy ending for a day that had begun all sunshine! Flurry wondered piteously, when, the festival at an end, they drove back through the evening together, could this be the same Charley, who, on that; very road, only a few hours before, had saidâ€" well, it was not 50 muchwhat ho had said as the way, and especially the look, with which he had said itâ€"«could this be the same, this abstracted in- dividuulwho had £0 keep musing him‘ self out of some revery overâ€"what? The charms of Miss Adela Brent? Flurry greatly feared it. iLL, 0} Charley did not blush, though. On the contrary, ho returned‘ the gaze with one which might have :ibzwhod some girls. But Miss Brent. was a young lady not easily abushcd, and it" the very evident admiration in the handsome savage’s black eyes afi‘ected her in any way, it was certainly nei- ther to embarrass nor ofi‘ond her. That was plain from the manner in which she received his advances later; 0150 the two would not have motion-o rapid an acquaintance, nor have been missing when, beyond-by, a stroll through the grove was proposed, so that Flori-y was obliged to put up with the escort Of her cousin Fred Willis, :2, necessity considerably more agrou- uble to him than to her. Fred was describng a party of the previous evening, at which neither of the girls had been present. “Yes, she was there,” answered Fred, and laughed to himself for a moment. Then. alnud, " The fool Charley Dennis makes of himself with that girl I" he said. ‘ 7 Ԥ And what he can 500 in her!” exclaimed Julia. “She’s no beauty, certainly.” ‘ “I suppose that , Miss Brent was there as large as; life ?” said Julia. whose habit it. was to use the pronoun of censure in referring to Adela. “ 0h, as to that, she's pretty enoughf’éaid her brotherâ€"~11195culine and feminine eyes are so apt to see ibis matter ditt‘crentiywfl but as outâ€" and-0m a little flirt as over I saw.

Each one of the three know quite well What had been meant by his beingrserved right, ahdyench know-that the others knew, but still it‘was the {hing to ignore it in Fred'sprosence. so J ulia. could only look the pins and needles she longed to speak.. ‘ V I 1 But; thwmomem Fred was‘ 36:19, wide-2' which Flurry» oyw (1'9 L! {1nd luarcolorrt‘ms; where-11pm Adela, who had already mcnmll; inventoried her as pretty, but; depict-ably withme style,mgarded her anew, with amused com passion, as: a girl who could unlu- ally blush {or beinglook at! “ Why serve him right ?” here In» expectediy put in Florry, with more spirit man was usual to her soft voice. " Why should anybodyobjecc to Char. Joy's waiting on Miss Brent». if‘ he likes ?.” “And serve him right!” pro nounced Julia, with vicious emphasis. NTARIO, CANAiDA. FRIDAY, MAY 8,1874 ,Florry made no reply th‘ this, but she. lifted her head and set some stitches rather blindly in the embroi» ,dured frock on her-lap. But it. is lucky that. Minster Harry, for whom “it, was destined, was not a connoisseur in fine needle-work, elk-'0 it is to lu- l'eared that that cotton rose-spray would have becn a thorn in his side :50 long as any thing remained of it. It is a very common rural custom “to improve the shining hours" of the full menu, not, indeed, as “doth the little busy bee," ‘but after a fashion quite as agreeable. if less industrious. Each J aqk, with his chosen Jill beside him, bowls along the Open country roads at. a pace to be settled by his own taste and the powers of his horse. Now, the Blackville moon being just at present at the full, :1 jollification of this sort had been arranged for the morrow evening, and Charley accord- ineg took an early opportunity to make sure of Miss Adela Brent “ Depend upon it, Florry,” resumed Julia, after a pause, “you're well rid ot‘him, 'it' you only would think so. A man that don‘t, know his own mind better Lhzm that! Why, I do believe it’s a full month since he has set his foot inside this house-th that used to be in and out, till I was fairly sick of the sight of him. I only wish,” went. on Julia with energy, “he would come again, just once, just to see how much difference it makes to usâ€"and I declare,” she broke off abruptly, looking out of the window, which she faced, “ if" there he isn’t this minute opening the gate l Well, the-what.- yuu-call-him is near when you talk about hiifi, sure enough i” . Charley it really was at the gate, and at the gate we will be impolite enough to leave him, while we explain how he came to be there just in the nick of time. Butkif the truth must be told, Miss Adela was growing rather tired of this rustic homage. Add to which, that her own particular “ young man ” bad just (some from town to see her, and ley’s chances wefc not so good as he fondly imagined, The pair stood in the porch, watching him as he :11} preached, and indulging in commean which, if [hero bo any truth in prov Verbs, should have made hi9. cars tingle. ' “Oh, for mercy’a sake 1101” an- swered Adela, “ for he is such a bore" â€"â€"(})001' Charley)~“he would stay forever I” So Charley sited in vain for Mr. Wilmington to go and give hxm a chance to make known his errand. At, last as it. became evident that. he did not intend going, and Charley could in decency wait no l'ongcr, he opened the subject with an imroduv- tory remark on the fineness of the weather. 1' “Especially the carrot crap, 1% turned Charley, with an equally intel- ligible look at his new acquaintance's perfumed luxuriant locks, which un- doubtedly did bear on the auburn. Al'tci' which little exchange of civili. ties, Mr. Wilmington retired into the privacy of his segar-smoke, and Charley proceeded to make his 1'0 quest. H “ ark, as the other had irreverenily dubbed his carriage, drew up before the gate. “Am I to leztm you to a, tetc-a-fete, Adela ‘1’" He really did believe it, mm the that-it was Wounded vanity which had opened 'his-eyuéfto the ercepiion; And, withail his an roran? mox't-iflca- tion, 'thore’was 131ng Man odd s’ense of relief, which would £aeiam'to indi- cate that it was nothing. deeper than his fancy which had been: taken by Miss Brant}.Z " a “What am- wééfisiifik’norry?" “ Oh ! it is us Father Noah intends honoring with a visit,” remarked Mr. Walter Wiimington, when Charley’s “Good weather for green things,” nonc'nulamly obseg‘vcd Mr. Wilming‘ Lon, with a glance at Charley easily understood. - ~‘ Well, I don’t know," replied Miss Adela, languidly playing with her fan, “ that sort of thing is so apt to be tiresomeâ€"don't you think so ?"â€"â€" Charley, who certainly had not thought she found that on" any other son of thing tiresome in his company, remained speechless, while she re- sumed, “ I am iii'ruid you really must excuse me this limoâ€"but I dare say, Mr. Dennis, Miss Florence Wells would be happy to go if you asked her." I ' “'NZNH, dd‘n :. be a goose, Flnrr 2” 51m said, seemingly, tapping the bit of flushed cheek not hidden in tho clasped hands,-“if there ever was a man worth crying about, I’m sure it isn’t Charley Dennis.” ' Tho blood rushed to Charley’s face at this last piece of politeness, and he took his leave of the young lady, in wai-dly vowing that he would excuse her not only for that, but for all future time; that if she were to remain for the rest of her natural life in Black- villo, she should be troubled with no more tiresome attentions from him. “ Flori‘y, indeed I" he said to him- self, indignzmtly. “ Sbo may-{sneerif she likes, but, she’s notone-haif so nice as Flurry-«and, take away the {lines and flounces,- I do Believe not oneâ€"half so protiy l" " i ' aha anem'u’ifiééd héfim‘xlf fur this njrned ciojnency. She} pruncéd ginim On FIery, and newt left her till rahe had woi‘ried her into tears and coumssion. Then she paused: half in triumph. half in pjfy. “ it is hard to have to lose the pleasure. of your soaiety now that iL is grown such a rarity, but I have an engagement, so I hope you will ex~ cuse me.” With which parting squib, and a whisper in passingâ€"“ Bo firm, b‘14)1'r3'l”~slie [en the room. And we can not do better than follow her. Having proceeded to fulfill hel- en- gagementâ€"~the rummaging of a chest of drawers, u])-stzairsâ€"-â€"Julia, who guessed Charley’s orrzmd well enough, waited for him to make it known and be gone. But never, surely, had a simple proposal for a. dl'lVO taken such a while in the asking and refus- ing! Exactly how long she had to wait, Julia could not say, but a, very long time, indeed, measured by her This bit the case so exactly, that it left Charley without a single word to may for himself. Perceiving which, Julia laughed in scornt'ul triumph. and, rising from her seat, added iron- ically, “ Iwondcr what you are here for now ‘?" rotorth Julia, unable longer to keep silence, while Flam-y Riitched as if'fur dear life. Charley Could noh’ery well amwer the truth, and, not-knowing what-else to answer, he held his tongue.

Sledakur in dumb showrprotested against this, and when the doctor insisted upon it he became infuriated and seized the poker for the purpose of defending himself. The doctor told Mrs. Slednker that this was one paroxysm that always attended such cases. Sleduker’s mind, he said, was slightly unsettled. : Then he went out and called in four able- boolied men, who put Sledaker in bed and tied him down with the clothes-line. The doctor then bled him and put mus- tard plasters on his neck and on the hack of his head, and applied leeches to his jaws, while . Sledaker lay there nearly purple with rage. Then the doc~ tor tried to pry open the patient’s jaivs with a screw-driver and a hammer, and after breaking two or three front teeth he succeeded. Then he put his fingers in Sledaker's mouth for the purpose of ascertaining if any of the parts were swollen, :md‘to his amazement he ex tracted :1 lump of shoemaker’s wax.

A writer says: “ Physically, Irish women are probably the finest race in the worldâ€"I mean taller, better limbed and chested, larger eyed, and with more luxuriant hair and freer action than any other nation 1 have observed; The Phoeneoian-and Spanish blood which has run hundreds of years in their veins still kindles its dark fire in their eyes, and with the vivacity of the northern mind‘and the bright color of the north« ern skin, these southern qualities min~ glo in most admirable and superb har- mony. The idea, we form of Italign' and Grecian beauty is never realized in WM Italy; but we find it in Ireland heightened and ’eircee‘detl. Checks and lips of the delicate and bright tint. of carnation, with snowy teeth and eyebrows of jet, are what We should look for on the pallet Apelled, could we recall the painter and reanil‘ mate his farâ€"famed models, and these varied charms, united fall very com- monly to the share of the fair Milosian. Modest to a proverb, the Irish woman is as unsuspecting of an impropriety as if it were: an impossible thing; and she is as fearless and joyous as a midship» man, and sometimes noisy. In a ball-room she looks ill-dressed, not be. cause her dress was ill put on, but beâ€" cause she dances, not glides, sits down without care, pulls her flowers to pieces, and if her head-dress incommodes her she will give it a pull or a push. If she is ciieuded she asks for an explana‘ tion. Ifshu does not understand you she confesses her ignorance. It she wishes to see you next day she tells you how and when. She is the child of na- ture and children are not stylish. ; Allazy cook-«me that “fritters” away-1191'qu “ ~ » : The annual return issued by the Marine Department of the Board of Trade of emigration from the United Kingdom, show; that during the year 1873 there were 232,885 emi rants from England,of whom 190,15 went from Liverpool, and 26,682 from Lon~ den.
