Let it not, hOWever, be supposed hat the Word "man-hater" is a stronger one than ought to be applied to Miss Marrahle ; for I am really not quite certain that it is altogether strong enough. She regards men as inferior animals, and looks down upon them with lofty contempt. "\Vho,” she once \I_ said to her niece Lucy, “has turned the *h world upside down, fided it wi‘h poverty :a‘ d deluged it with blood 1 If woman had always hould have had no and unhappiness, an It is Man.

The truth is, that although she detests and despises man, she pities him; just as she pities the poor idiot whom she sometimes sees grinning and gibbering by the wayside in Italy. timents Miss M arrable These being her sen has not, of course, many male acquaintancr s.

She onceayear invites her man of ' John Bones. of Cook’s Court, her and them in Grosvenor Street ; and she is civil to parish, add to the medics. would call in to attend her in case of illness. Yet Mr. Larkspur once told Mr. Allerton that this feminine dragen had had a violent love-affair when she was nineteen ; and Mr. tion with the Mar- ecent date than that of Lucy’s fatherâ€"acme. - ed that he could well believe it. If, tow- ever, Miss Marrahle did have a loveraflair in her youth, I am not inclined at this time time of day to cast it as a reproach in her teeth. Boys will be boys ; and girls, I sup- pose, will be girls, though they may live to see the error of their ways, and be none the worse for their follies. One thing is certain. and that is, that at the present time, and for at least fiveand-twenty years past, Miss Martha Marrable has ceased to dream of the tender passion. She still occasionally talks vaguely of going up the Nile, or of visiting the Yellowstone Region, ere she dies ; but she never contemplates the pos sibility of getting married ; and believe that she would ai soon think of allowing a man to believe that she regarded ‘ " ‘ 4 Lab “(‘1de aversion. as the wayside in IEaly.

And yet Miss Martha Marrable was laat year the heroine of a. terrible scandal ; and many of her misanthropic female friends have never s‘nce been able to completely believe her professions of hatred of man. The affair gave rise to many whispers, and was even, I understand, guardedly alluded to, with just and virtuous deprecation, in the columns of the Woman's Sufi’rage Journal, as a terrible but happily rare instance of womanly weak- ness and irivolitv ; and since the true story has never been toldI I feel that it is only fair to tell it, and by telling it, to defend that have been made against her established reputation for good sense and unflinching contempt of tho rougher sex. Towards the end of August, Miss Marrable and her two nieces left London lor North Wales, and after a. long and tiresome jour- ' ' ‘ ' 2.. \T..-:nnpthshire. contempt 01 mo rougue. “A. August, nieces left London {or N Wales, and after a long and tiresome jour. ney, reached Abermaw, in Mu‘ionethshire, and took rooms at the Cors-y-Gedol Hotel. ’l‘hey were accompanied, as l by the and her two usna. , two maids and the green parrot; but the courier and the mnn~servant, being males, and their services not being imperatively required, they Wt re left behind in London. Lucy had just celebrated her twenty-third birthday. and Amy Was just about to cele- brate her twenty-first; andâ€"although I am sorry to have to rect rd itâ€"I am by no means astonished that they were both in love. LucyI during the whole of the previous see scn, had been determinedly flirting with a. designing young artst named Robert Rhodes; and Amy, younger and 1158 ex- perienced than her cousin, had been oarying on, even more sen imentally,wrth MLVivisn Jellicoe, who, being heir to a. baronetcy, tound that position so arduous and fatiguing. that he was quite unfitted for any active ou- cu potion ot a. laborious character. of course Miss Marrablz knew nothing of these affairs. Had she suspected them, she would perhaps have not taken her nieces with her to Aber- rnnw; for it happened that at that very wateringplace, Sir Thomas Jellicoe and his son Vivmn were staying, when the three HA} not aatonishirg e, awoll-to-do W is .xceeding‘y 1 1. two doad 5i: n (0 stay “in” Ice in'tha eafly :svenor Street 3 the seaside. ° ,ged Women omiug the ,t the firm of hmker 1. 0f 1 CHAPTU a ppinst sister Marr year .\ gen HOB.

But in due time a crism arrived ; and in order that the full bearing: of the situation may be properly understood. I must briefly explain the character of Miss Martha M M'- rable'e undutiful nieces. Lucy Larkspur has but little romance in her composition; she has strovg feelirgi, not mucn sentiment; and she is one of those g'rls who are perfectly by n with theii heart. She loved [Robert Rhodes. and, ax she knew quite Well that he also loved her she made no secret to him of her afiec iion for him. Amy Allerton, on th‘ other hand, is, and alwags has been sentimentally inclined. She believes, rightl or wrongly, that: it is a. very charming thin ‘70 Let concealment. like it worm i' the bud, Feed on her damask cheek : and she would as soon have thought of per- mitting Vivian J ellicoe to think that she loved him, as of attempting to win and woo the Sultan ofTurkey. The consequence was that Mire Marrahle, who loudly imagin- ed that she knew all the thoughts of her elder niece, trusted her much more than she trusted her younger. She regarded Lucy as an open book that. might be one 1y read. anl Amy as a kind of oracu‘ar voice that, while saying and appearing to say one thing, might mean exactly the epp'site. Miss Manet-1e was dcstihed to discover that she was to some extent wrong in her estimate, so far, at all events, as Lucy was concerned ; and her discovery of her error was, I grieve to say, accompmied by a. good deal of pain and mortihcation. x A ".4 mm twn IJ’Lll' U03- mun llluvw "v...

Its captors were at work about the whale for several hours, during which time the whale remained motionless, and it was thought to be dead. \Vhen the tide came in at sundown it floated and displayed re- newed vitality. A desperate struggle freed the animal from its captivity, and it moved ‘ ' the cables and anchors with of it until the follow- ing Monday. when it was discovered in the channel of the creek, dead. The fishermen towed it to the beacon north of Pungoteague creek, where they recommenced their opera- tions of stripping it of the blubbcr.

It will probably render seventy-five barrels of oil.

The monster was driven into the Chesapcake from the ocean by therecent easterly storms. and, keeping along the leeward side of the bay, entered the deepest water. which took it into Pungoteague creek. It is of the male kind. Behind each jaw. under the ear, it has a beautiful dark mane, much coarser than that of a horse. The whale is lying near Martin's point on his side, where crowds visit it from the country. Pungoâ€" teague creek is a distinguished locality. It was there Gov. Cameron. of Virginia, ren- dezvoused his oyster pirates l s year, an not far from the whale is the ghost-famed Millstone point, so well known to old sail- urs and citizens. It is the only creek on the eninsula visited by water- outs, there being three experienced ere in thirty years.

On the continent, as in England, crema- tion is making progress. The French cham- ber of de utiea has before it a bill, introduc- ed by . Casimir-Perier, giving French citizens the option of being inhumed or cre- mated as they may prefer, and it is expect- ed that the bill will pass. The Belgian chamber of representatives has before it a petition from the town council of Brussels ‘ praying for the lvgalization of cremation. The International Cremation association, which has its headquarters at Milan, is at the same time carryuvion an active propa- ganda in France and algium. The agent whom the society sent to Be‘gium is a near relative of the late papal nuncio at the court of Brussels; and he is charged to obtain per- mission to erect an experimental cremator- ium in the "gay city or Brabant,” at the ex- pense of the association. In Italy a considâ€" erable number of priests havebeen cremated.
