For more beauty of scenery the Navigator islands are probably equal if not su )erior to any in the I'acific. ’ The scenery of t ie Sand- wich Islands, although grand, is somewhat checrless; the Friendly Isiands are superla- tivelyfoitile, but too tame and lowâ€"lying to be thorounhly picturesque; the Fecgees are in manyplaccs sterile and forbidding ; while Ceylon, perhaps the. nicest fertile island in the world, is so only in the interior. Alone of all the ooeiui groups the Navigators do not. disappoint. Seen from the deck of a vesscla few miles of? the land, there are not many tropical islands that present a more beautiful or picturesque appearance than [iPlfll.lI_. Though not so hiin as Savaii by 1000 feet, it nevertheless shows u bold and Juajcstic front; Perhaps, -indced, the weatiiorbeutcnl rocks that form the mountain summits are if anythino too stern and gloomy for a purely tropicul'landscapc. They are, however, not often \‘isililc, but are generally shmudui by ilcccy masses of ,apor. or wrapped ill mist, and swi'iii-cli'imis. Immediately below this stony region ' tation commences. At first the trees are I small and stunted and the undergrowth thin. lint with every foot of descent the vegetation changes rapidly in character, until within an , incredibly short. space the forests becomes1 thoroughly and completely tropical. Trees ‘ of a. hundred dim-rent species now struggle with nachothcr for sunlight and air. The soil is a rich loam, composed of decaying veg- etabch forms. ()vcrhcad the trees meet, feming a leafy canopy th ugh which the vertical rays oi" the sun stifle in vain to pierce. Beneath this :1 the traveller walks in dim, uncertain twilight. Around him all is hot, moist, and decaying. The air is thick and, oppressive, the grass rank and matted, while from trunk and boiigh hung long,r snake-like creepers and supple vines, that trail along the ground. and at every slop trip up the. unwary. “n the trunks and branches of the trees are clusters of rare ferns und’orchids that would lie the glory of_,an'Aiiicric-aii hoe- house. They grow luxuriantly on the moss- covcrcd bark and dead trend. and reel: little of sunlight or frceh breezes. Among those forest trees are many on which the natives depend for life. 'l‘hcrc is the ivi (whose bittcr nuts are eaten in times of scarcity); the orange, the luin, and the bread-fruit. Then there is the stately cot- ton tree, the sombre dilo, and the coconnut palm with its leafy crown, at once the glory and the. wealth of the South Sea. islands. The ground in many places is covered with flowers as with a carpet, while. in others it is grown over with a dense and impenetrable mass of shrubs and flowering plants, Here is the home of the wild indigo, the nutmeg, and arrowroot, the hiois‘cus andthc. Oleander, the sweet potato, the banana, and, lastlp, of that shrub from which the natives extract the strange drink they call kavn. « "wowâ€"ea WV - (iilll takes some. things from us lest \i .0 should spoil them, and We have more of them in missing them than we should have had in keeping them.

She was tryng to fathom that mysterious abyss of self. No one uiiderstm.)d Hannah llcjeune, and she least of all. She had be- thought her of neglected, almost forgotten Francis Iredcli, in a. incident of hysterical defiance. The most timid animal will turn at bay, and Hannah Lejcunohad thus turned on M rs. Key and her son, handsome Godfrey Noy, presumptive heir to Mrs. Muston‘s pro. pel‘fy.‘ ' Two years before Hannah had run away in the ica‘i‘lynnorning from Mrs. Noy‘s town house, goadcd to the rash act by the injus- tice of that lady, wh’oso dead husband had promised always to protect and shelter the orphan/meter .Mrs. Noy had been somewhat alarmed, lint when she discovered that Hanv nalihadiled to licrcld nurse Bridget, :md woposcd to support. helm-if in some way, the ' lady washed he;~ hoods 'of her, said it was all that could-be bxpcctcd of Hannah's blood, sin.- being a vlicjou'ne, and decided that it was just as well to have a pretty Irv'irl out of the house before Godfrey returned from his (.lci‘- I lllflll university.

Hannah awaited her doom, and in the interval of restless anxiety remembered Francis I redell, who could alone rival the people at Ilolmcroft.

As for ilaiinah, this was her one holiday out of lifc, and she enjoyed it almost desper- ately, in the belief that she would never have another. She regarded Francis lredell with a. curious sort of pride, and thrilled with do- lig‘ut at every clever anecdote told by him, at -cvery bonmofin tilt with Mrs. Moston, who delighted in repurtcc. Had she not. brought him to liolmcroft ‘2. Wendie not more worthy of Mrs. Moston‘s regard in every way than was Godfrey Noy ? There was a. second evening at the Hall, ' where Dr. Sharpe, in his brown wig, appear ed punctually, and hi rs. Meston was as oo- quettish in her rich attire as a girl. Hannah could not determine whether Mrs. No ‘ had written about herself or not, but she fc tthut electric foreboding which often precedes great change. a Certainly Mrs. Eileeth must search a long while before she re illiced this companion, who read aloud well, made all the dainty trifles of needle work that great ladies like to bestow on their friends, and traced by intuition the meaning of those pat- terns sent into the country for the benefit of dress making womankiud. “She saves me two or three hundred a year by her taste in trimming,” Mrs. Mouton had said to Mrs. Noy, but it had not occurred to her to add the sum to Hannah's slender salary. Francis lrmiell was charming. Ills heart really warmed to the people who received him so kindly, although his curiosity was not yet fully satisfied as to lluiinah's motive in send- ing for him 2 and he brought to the country- house that. atmosphere of interest- which can only be imported by those out in the world, who gather crumbs from many sources of nib- lic ssip. Hannah listened witli-pai'te 1i )8 and changing color. Did not ()thello's pcri '8 become more elmluent and flowery for the attention of Deedeniona, think you? The day had not been without excitement in the society of a winning girl. Francis lredell had not indulng in :1 Similar In. ‘for years.

I shall ’ I as u to assure himself of her unconsciousness. Thought does not revive more vividly with the drowning than it did with Hannah Lo- jeune at that perilous moment. The intruder was searching for something in the sandal- wood box on her bureau, where she kept Mrs. Moston's keys, “'hat did he know about that particular box. Gathering all her courage for the effort, she made one spring to the open door, tore the key from the lock, closed, and locked it out- side. It was the work of a moment. ('lasp- ing the doorâ€"knob she paused, expectant, in the almost pal able darkness of the hall, for unknown ham to seize her. How many of the robbing were in the house '! The silence was terrible. She ided herself to Mrs. Mestou’a door, whioglil was also wide open. W”th were Mrs. Meston and Alice? Shc dared not whisper, but one fierce resolve pos- sessed her ; she must gain the bellâ€"cord. and sound the alarm for which lioliucroft had waited, with many a. scoff, all those years. As her fingers closed over it, a heavy blow fell on the door leading to Alice‘s room. “ Upon this door or it will be wuss for said a savage voice. Hannah pulled the cord violently, then fled, just as the prisoner in hot-own room put his foot through the panel of the locked door with a rending crash. If he found her? Shrinking along the wall as if imploring the very house to shield her, in cold dread and terror she crouched in the spec-o behind the tall clock. The pumuer came straight on. She felt her limbs stiffen ; her brain was on tire : the dull ringing of innumerable voices : soundcd in her ears : then’she believed herself dead, beneath the pull of some indefinable horror.

How did they know what had happenml ‘: Francis broke in one of the windows, and the two gentlemen cute-rod. Mrs. Mouton was discovered sitting up in her bed, she having oxti‘ioated herself from the folds of her own India shawl, in which she had been weanigh smothered. A bur rlar with crepe over his face had awakened. ier ; she had struggled to rise, when he had enveloped her in her great shawl. Mrs. Mesten, wild and disheveled, held something fast clutched in her hand, which she raised to the light. It was a fragment of linen with an opal stud of curb ous workmanship attached.

The build- ings are progressing as rapidly as could be de- uii‘vvd, and everything continues encouraging to the commission. One fact, significant of the inorwsul favor with which the movement is met abroad, is that the Secretary of the Russian Legation waited on Director-General Goshorn with the request that twanty thou- sand square feet be allotted to Russia. In the allotment already made Russia'was to have 11,000 square feet in the main building, and it was too late to make alterations; but the additional space will be secured in other buildings. It. will be remembered that Rusv sin. at first declined to participate in the ex- hibition at all, and to have such requests coming from those who at first met the movement coldly shows how faithfully the commissions are performing their duties.

His movements, whether in civil or military life, are grand tactics. [hiring a recent visit to Rostock, returning home late one night, he was unable to find his way to his lodg- ings. He thought over various schemes for- findiug out the road without betraying who he was, and at last hit upon the following device : He went up to a man who appeared to be a native of the town, and inquired, in the broad local dialect of the neighborhood, “ Can you tell inc. whcrn Count Moltke is staying Y" “ That I can," replied the man, in the same toxic ; “ he is staying in the large house opposite the school in the next street to this." " Yes,"returnod the Count, “ that is just what I thought myself ;" and he re» turned to his lodgings delighted with the sun» ccss of his stratagem. it is not generallx know tlmtforty years ago, beingthen thirty; five years old, Moltkc, while. travelling in Turkey, was brought to the notice of Sultan Mahmoud. who desired his advice as to tho reorganization of the Turkish army. llc rc- maincd ten years in the Sultan‘s service, and brought it to a high degree of efficiency.

Her husband was as dislinmiished for his appear ance and his manners as his bride : and those who speculate on race were interested in watching the. development of their progeny, who in form and color and voice and manner and mind were a reproduction of their par- ents, who seemed only the r-ldcr brother and sister of a gifted circle. The daughters, with one exception, came first, and met- tho same fate. After seventeen years of a. delicious homc, they were presented and immediater married, and all to personages of high con‘ sidemtion. They were all alike, with their delicate aquiline noses, bright complexions, short upper lips, and eyes of sunny light. The duke, though still young, and naturally of a. gay and joyous temperament, had a high sense of duty and stmng domestic feelings. He was never waniino in his public place, and he was fond of ii: wife and children; still more, proud of them.

She said : “ Yes, it is truly delightful, but then I think the com any one may chance to be in has a. great den. to do with the atmos- photo.” He threw his eye up along the gable end of the new market house and said he'd bet .there. would be "'manv a good steak and sou bone sold in that lmildin’." .510 said she had no doubt but them would be, and went on to remark that it. would be a nice thing for newly-married people to get their marketing at a newlyâ€" tinislied market house.
