” When is this girl coming ?” [asks the old man, presently, in a. peevish tone, vexed that as far as he can tell his arrow has overshot the mark. “ I might have known she would have caught at the invitation.” A dim foreboding crushes her. Only a ,Iittle pallor, so slight as to be imperceptible to her tormentor, falls across the upper part of her face and tells how blood has been drawn. Yet it is hardly the mere piercing of the Skin that hurts us most ; it is in the dark night hours when the wound rankles, that our agony comes home to us. “ On the twenty-seventhâ€"the day you mentioned. She must be anxious to make your acquaintance, as she has not lost an hour,” says Marcia, in a tone that might mean anything. Bnt”~â€"-sweet1yâ€"“,why dis- tress yourself, dear, by having her at all '1’ If it disturbs your peace in the very least, why not write to put her off, at all events until you feel stronger ? Why upset yourself, now you are getting on so nicely -?” As she speaks she lets her clear, calm “eyes rest fully upon the hopeless wreck of what once was strong before her. No faintest tinge of insincerity mars the perfect kindliness of her tone. “ Why not let us three remain as we are, alone together 7” “ What I” cries Mr. Amherst, angrily, and with excitement, raising himself in his chair, “ am I to shut myself up Within these four walls with nothing to interest me from day to day beyond your inane twaddle? No, I thank you. I will have the house fullâ€"fullâ€"do you hear, Marcia 7â€"and that without delay. Do you want me to die of ennui inthis bare bar- rack of a. place ?” lack of a. place ?” " Well, do not make yourself ill, dear,” says Marcia, with an admirably executed sigh. “ It shall be as you wish, of course. I only spoke for your goodâ€"becauseâ€"I suppose (being the only near relative I have on earth besides my mother) Iâ€"love you.” The day fades,the light wanes, and night’s cold dewy mantle falls thickly on the longing earth. Marcia, throwing wide her easements, stretches out her arms to the moonlight and bathea her white face and whiter neck in the cool flood that drenches all the quiet garjen. “ Yod are very good,” replies th e old man, grimly, utterly untouched by all this sweet- ness, “ but I will have my own way. And don’t you dear me again. Do you hear, Mar- cia? I won’t have it; it reminds me of my wife. Pah!” There is peace everywhere, and rest, and happy sleep, but not for Marcia. For days, for weeks, she has been haunted by the fear that. Philip’s affection for her is but a momen‘ tary joy, that, swiftly as the minutes fly, so it dwindles. To-night this fear is strong upon her. Not by his word, not by his actions, but by the subtle nothings that, having no name, yet are, and go to make up the dreaded whole, has this thought been forced upon her. The cooling glance, the suppressed restlessness, the sudden lack of conversation, the kind but unloving touch, the total absen'co'of a lover’s Jealousyâ€"all go to prove the hateful truth. And now her grandfather’s sneer of the morn- ing comes back to torture her and. make as- surance doubly sure. Yet hardly three months have passed since Philip Shadwell asked her to be his Wife. “ Already his love wanes,” she murmurs, turning up her troubled face and/eyes too sad for tears to the starry vault above her, Where the small luminous bodies blink and tremble and take no heed of a. n'dlculous love-tale. more or less. Her tone is low and despairing; and as she speaks she beats her hands to- gether slowly, noiselessly, yet none the less passionately: In vain she tries to convince herself her doubts are groundless, to compel herself to believe her arms are full, when in her heart she knows she but presses to her bosom an empty, fleeting shadow. The night‘s dull vapors have closed upon her, and, while ex- aggerating her misery, still open her eyes with kind cruelty to the end that surely awaits her. So she sits hugging her fears until the day breaks, and early morning, peeping in at her. waits her a kiss as it flies over lawn and field and brooklet. Then, wearied by her watch- ing. she flings herself upon her bed, and, gaining a. short but dreamless sleep, wakens refreshed, to laugh at her misgivings of the night beforeâ€"at her grandfather’s hints â€"‘Lt aught that speaks to her of Philip’s false- ness.

At last the deep flush of satisfaction dyes her cheeks; all her natural self-reliance and determination return to her; with a, little laugh at her own image (on which she builds her hopes), she defies fate, and, running down the staircase with winged feet, finds herself on the last step al- most in Philip‘s arms. Hope '1 “ Abroad so early 1” he says, with a smile ; and the kindliness of his tone, the more than kindness of his glance, confirm her hopes of the morning. She is looking very pretty; and Philip likes pretty women, hence the kindly smile. And yet, though he might have done so without rebuke (perhaps because of that), he forgets to kiss her. “You are the early bird, and you have caught me,” he says. “ I can only hope you will not make your break- fast 01‘! me. See”â€"holding out to her an un- elosed letterâ€"“ the deed is done. I have written to my solicitor to get me the money from Lazarus and Harty.” “ 0h, Philip! I have been thinking.” she says, following him into the library, “ and now it seems to me a risk. You know his horror of Jewsâ€"you know how he speaks of your own father and his unfortunate dealings with them. YesterdayI felt brave, and ad- vised you, as I fear, wrongly; to-dayâ€"-â€"" “ I have been thinking it over too”-â€"-light ing the taper on the table, and applying the sealing-wax to the flameâ€"“ and now it seems to me the only course left open.

Yet if you have any doubts, Philip”â€"Iayiug one shapely white finger upon the letterâ€"“do not send it. Some- thing tells me to warn you. And, besides, are you quite sure they will lend you the money?” “ They Willhardly refuse a paltry two thou- and to the heir of Eerst Royal.” “ But you are not the heir.” “ In the eyes of the world I am.” “ And yet they know it can be left to any one else.” ‘ “ To you, for instance." - “ That would hardly alter your position, ex cept that you would he then, not heir, but master,” she says, smiling sweetly at him. “ No, I was supposing myself also disinher- ited. The cousin that is comingâ€"Eleanor Massereeneâ€"she too is his grandchild.” As a. rule, when speaking of those we hate, quite as much as when speaking of those we love, we use the pronoun alone. Mr. Amherst is “ he” always to his relatives. [TO BE CONTINUED] A DIABOLICAL Damnâ€"A Russian merchant has been the victim of one of the most diaâ€" bolical of Nihilist outrages. Paul Fufajefl‘ re- ceived a notice signed by the “revolutionary committee,” in which a subscription of 40.000 roubles, “for the use of the secret National Government" was demanded of him, the sum to be deposited by him at a certain place in- dicated by the 2nd of May at thelatest, under penalty of death in case of default. Fufajeif remained undecided whether to pay the money or hand over the anonymous letter to the police. At 10 o’clock on the forenoon of the 2nd he went out, and then for the first time determined to appeal to the police for advice and assistance. Hardly, however, had he ar- rived in the neighborhood of the nearest police station when he received a violent blow on the head with an iron bar, which struck him senseless to the ground. The assassin immediately disappeared, taking with him 40,000 roubles which Fufajeff had in his pocket. gqgtinued from lat Page.) The Ontario elections took place Thursday, and as will be seen from the returns given below the Mowat Government have been sustained. Both sides have scored gains and met with losses, but the latter preponderated among the Liberal-Conservatives. The fol~ lowing are the returns as far as received : ONTARIO ELEGTIONS.

A journalist of distinction, now holding a very prominent and responsible position on one of the best known papers in the country, had a peculiar experience once in getting a position on the staff of a New York daily. He applied to the editor-inschief, who knew him well, and was aware of his ability and ex- perience. “I‘ve nothing to ofler you," he said, "but perhaps you’d better see the man- aging editor.” To the managing editor, who also knew him well, the applicant went. “There’s nothing I can give you,” he said, pleasantly ; “why don’t you see the editor-in- ‘ chief ?" The next day he applied to both ‘ again, and the next, each time receiving the‘ same answer. Dropping in on the fourth day, he noticed a vacant desk in the reporters’ room, kept for any one who might want to use it. He called the olfice boy, told him to clean up the desk and bring writing materials.

The next day he did the Same thing, and the next, and the next. On the fifth day the editor-inchief passed through the room while he was at his desk. “ So you’ve got to work .9" he said pleasantly. "Yes, sir.” ans- wered the self-appointed reporter. A day or two later the managing editor came in. “Got it at last, eh?” he inquired. “Yes, sir,” ans. wered the latest addition to the staff, going on with his work.

The latter grass comes principally from Algeria and other Barbary States, and, in addition to being unsatisfac- tory in quality, a sufficient quantity cannot be obtained. English paper makers are, therefore, often driven to manufacture with wood fibre and China clay. â€"Major Cavagnaii, the distinguished In- dian officer, who negotiated the terms of peace with Yakoob Khan at Gundamak, is an Englishman by birth, his father having been a Genoese, who came to settle in London from the north of Italy. after the overthrow of the French Empire.

The West Ren- dolph Chadwicks have raised the large sum of $1,000, and propose to take measures to recover the money, which is deposited in some bank, the directors of which, it is claimed, bribed a. lawyer sent over some time ago to look up the case.

Among the animals is a very fine female elephant, “ Lizzie.” This animal was attacked with a violent fit of colic. A local apothecary of considerable skill as an animal doctor was called into the menagerie when the life of the animal was all but despaired of. By his vigorous efforts and skilful treatment the valuable beast was saved. The elephant, “Lizzie,” did not forget her doctor, for on the procession coming down Seme street three days later she immediately recognized the chemist at the door of his shop, and. going to him, gracefully placed her trunk in his hand. The chemist visited the exhibition at night, and met with an unexpected recep- tion from his former patient. Gently seizing the “ doctor" with her trunk, the elephant encircled him with it, to the great terror of the audience, who expected to see him crushed to death. It was some time before the animal could be induced to go away from the doctor. â€"The Moore centenary has brought to light in the shop of a London bookseller several very interesting manuscripts of that author. There are two of “Lalla Rookh ;” a copy of his “ Juvenile Poems” which he made for his mother; his “Epicurean ;” many of his poetical squibs ; the first draft of his “Life of Lord Byron" and. about forty other manuscripts of less importance. The“Byron” contains the passages which were omitted, and has them cancelled. It is written partly in pencil and partly in ink and is offered for $375. The rough draft of “Lalla Rookh” is a thick quarto of 100 leaves, and contains four tales not incorporated in the published work. The writing is in a small hand, on both sides of the paper, and has been labor- iously revised. The price put on it is $250. The other manuscript of “Lalla Rookh,” which is a copy of the complete poem entirely in the handwriting of the author, with interâ€" lineations and corrections, is a small quarto of 187 leaves, and is offered for $400. Remarkable Instances of Overpowel'lng Fillul Affection. A curious and touching incident has been recently brought to light by the Republicain de Constantine. A short time ago the criminal court at Constantine condemned two natives, brothers, one to the pain of death, the other to the galleys. No sooner was the judgment pronounced than the third brother, the only one remaining in freedom, went and found the counsel for the defence, weeping bitterly and hardly able to explain himself from emotion. End’eavoring to calm him the lawyer said : “ A11 is not yet lost, the only object of the crime was vengeance, and it is to be hoped that the head of the State will grant a pardon to your brother who is condemned to death.” The poor fellow, somewhat reassured, then declared that as soon as all was decided he had made up his mind to accompany his two brothers to Cayenne, presuming a remission was granted to the first, and in any case not to leave the second. “I’m going back now,” said he, “to my douar to sell my share, and if the money I get for it is not enough, I will work night and day to make up enough. Whatever may happen, I cannot live without them.” “But you are not married?" asked the lawygr. “ I am young,” replied the Arab, " and later on may take another wife, and have other children, but who can give me back my brothers? My father and mother are dead. No, never, never will I stay here With- out them.” “ Yes, since three years.” “ Have you no children ‘3" “ I have a boy and a. girl.” “ And what will you do with your wife and your children?” w “ I shall send my wifeaway "and entrust my children to the care of my relatives on the douar. “ What ! are you not ashamed of leaving your children? Do you then love your brothers better than your own blood and flesh ?" This anecdote recalls to us a similar epi- sode in antiquity. Alexander the Great, having taken prisoners the chief family of a, tribe of Syria, decided to put away all except the women. Ceding, however, to the prayers of one of these, he granted her the life of one of her family. When the princess asked for the life of her brother, Alexander could not suppress a. movement of surprise. ” What Vic-tied he. “ you love your Vbrother better than your husband, or even than your own son ?” “ 1 cannot deny that I love my husband, and I would willingly lay down my life for my son. but since one only can be saved, I remember that I am still young and may love another husband and other children, but no one can give me back my brother, since my mother and father are dead.” Neither is the occurrence special to Algeria. Machiavelli narrates that in the middle ages an Italian woman. whose brother was defend- ing a besieged city. was summoned to give him up. They had taken her children from her and told her that they would be mur- dered unless ,she persuaded her brother to capitulate. Nothing daunted the Italian lady replied, placing her hand on her bosom : '7 D6 as ybh will? my bosom will bear other children to me, but I will not betray my brother.” These different narratives are identical in pharacter, and serve to prove how history repeats itself, after intervals of centuries. The death is announced of an old Waterloo veteran, in the person of Mr. David Christie, who died at the residence of his son-in-law Mr. James Stewart. 12th con. of Hibbert. Deceased had reached the ripe old age of 98 yearsâ€"almost a centenarian. As already stated he was one of the veterans who took part in the conflict which decided the fate of the first Napoleon. Born in Donkeld, Scot- land, he enhsted in the 913t regiment at the age of 18 year. He fought under Welling- ton in the series of battles in Spain, which ended in the battle of Victoria, and afterward acted his part in the field of Waterloo. yet never received a wound. For the past twenty years he has lived with his son-in law, and up to about three years ago retained possession of all his faculties. Of late he had been afâ€" flicted with both loss of sight and deafness. â€"â€"Col.King,a Texas’ cattle man, has a fence 75 miles long, enclosing about 337 square miles on which range 110,000 beasts. DEA’I‘II (IF A “'A'I‘ERLOO VETER- BROTHERIAY LOVE The late celebration of the centenary of Thomas Moore brought out some of the best poetry that has seen the light in connection with the birthday celebration. It would be hard to excel the ode written by Dr. Holmes, but another perhaps equal to it was read at the concert given in New York, and written by Florence McCarthy. It opens thus : A life of the earliest among the English poets could not fail to be interesting, and we are greatly pleased with the “Life of Edmund Spenser," as given in the series of the “Eng- lish Men of Letters.” It is by the Dean at St. Peul’s, who has brought a vast amount of information‘to bear on the history of the gentle poet. “There is no poem'in the Eng- lish language to compare with the “Faerie Queen," for it was one of the first, and es- tablished what is known as the Spenserian stanza. Written as it was in a measure to! please Queen Elizabeth, the author may be excused if he flattered the virgin queen, par- ticularly as his poem was composed in Ireâ€" land. Three hundred years have passed since the poem was given to the world, yet it read as freshly as ever,for the“Faerie Queen" will never grow tame. It is known that Spenser actually received a pension of fifty pounds Abeoause he was a poet. Mr. George Macdouald is writing a story of Engljgh social life. A life of Thackeray by Anthony Trollope is the latest of the series of "English Men of Letters.” No English writer commanded a greater share of attention than “ Yellow Plush," and a more genial spirit never breathed. The “Diary of Samuel Pepys” has reached the sixth volume. It is a work of rare in- terest, and is sure to command attention from all who have a liking for the “ancient and the_good.” T139 best temperance tale that has appeared is said to be “On London Bridge," by J ulia. McNair Wright. 7 A new satiriat has arisen in England. Hi first and latest poem is entitled “Oblivied.” Here is a. specimen verse, which we consider sufficient to show what the whole satire is worth : - Froude has not escapedhthelash for writing “Ceaser’” which is considered very faulty. Thar Athcneum is sgvereiurpon it.r “There was a. young lady named Braddon, Whose heroine’s mostly a bad un’, Theft, murder and arson, And frauds on the person, Were themes that delighted Miss Breddon." Perhaps it would hardly be fair to question the propriety of Wilkie Colliins writing ” A Rogue’s Life.” after so much praise has been given to “ Oliver Twist” and other novels of a like character"; yet we doubt if anything is gained to the world by depicting rascality, thievery and debauchery in their worst colors. The thin veil which concealed the real char- acters in “ Griffith Gaunt" was easily re- moved, and the deformities were there. A princess has written a book entitled “ Forty Days in New York.” and she seems to have hit it exact when she says the Ameri- cans love money and eating. What could Be more aforopos than these lines snatched from the floating driftwood on the literary sea 2 “Love thinks no ill, Then lips be stillâ€" The bitter word let it remain unspoken ; Though it. seem hard, Yet thy reward That love shall give whose law thou hast not broken! Love suffers long; Then heart be strong-â€" Dealing to others as thy Lord to thee ; Who sow His seed, Blast in their dead, Shallfiin its season, the bright harvest see." Sir John Herschel. the great astronomer, was the author of a “ Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy," but perhaps it is not generally known that he delivered an address in which he thus spoke of reading : “ If I were to pray for a taste which should stand one in stead under every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss, and the world frown upon me, it would bea taste for reading. I speak of it only as worldly advantage, and not in the slightest degree as superseding or derogating from the higher office, and surer and stronger panoply of religious principlesâ€"but as a taste, an instrument, and a mode of pleasur- able gratification. Give a man this taste, and the means of gratifying it, and you can ‘hardly fail of making a happy man, unless indeed, you put into his hands a most per-- verse selection of books. You place him in ‘contact with the best society in every period of history, with the wisest, the wittiest, with. the tenderest, the bravest and the purest characters that have adorned humanity. You make him a denizen of all nations. A con- temporary of all ages. The world has been; created for him. It is hardly possible but'% the character should take a higher and better tone from the constant habit of associating in thought with a class of thinkers, to say the least of it, above the average of humanity.” Alové-Iorn poet thus curtly disposes of one who he thought regarded him as her inamorato: A dictionary of dictionaries is in course of preparation in England which will unques- tionably supersede all others, if not. in any- thing else, at all events in size, for it is to be comprised in four thick quarto volumes, each the size of Webster’s large dictionary. Ten years will be required to complete it, the first part of 400 pages is to be issued in 1882. This dictionary of the English language is to be issued by the English Philological Society, under the direction of Dr. Murray and a staff of assistants. “The Discovery of the Bermudas,” by Gen. Lefroy, reveals the fact that the Puritans had a. footing there. John Froissart was one of the most graphic chroniclers of the fourteenth century. He‘ was courtier, historian and traveller. His. chronicles have a deep interest, chief among- which is “ The Piteous Death of the Son of Gaston De Foix.” IMPROVED BRONZING Pnocnss.â€"â€"â€"Piofessor Bottger’s new bronzing process depends for its efliciency upon the use of an improved solution for causing the bronze or other colored powder to adhere to the article to be bronzed. It is a. concentrated solution of soluble glass, prepared with potash, or a sili- cate of potash, and of a strength of about 30 0 of Beaume’s hydrometer. The article to be bronzed or decorated is first coated with a thin film or layer of the solution of soluble glass, which is applied by a soft paint brush or other suitable means, and the bronze or other powder is applied through a seive or other means; the articles are then dried by exposure to the atmosphere or artificial heatq after which the excess of powder is removed by a brush. The bronze or other powder so applied will resist the effects of heat and of washing with alcohol, or of polishing by steel oragate burnishers. The invention is par- ticularly beneficial for decorating iron and porcelain stoves. inasmuch as the bronzing or other powder will not be affected by the heat of the stove. The gilding on the frames of pictures and looking-glasses when worn can also be restored in a few minutes by this process. ~Forty-six thousand two hundred and eighty-six persons emigrated last year from Germany, very nearly 5,000 more than in the preceding year.
