On western Lille the day doeclinos,
The sun nks low ben ath the pinoe,.
And where the last ray I ngering shInes.
'Tie softly fading into night..
The tender gloaming, shado on shade,
Comes darkling down, on glen and glade.
What time, in beauty b-ight arrayed.
The stars bloom into sight ;
Then love takes up tho evening song,
And memory, kindling varm and strong,
Rocalls doad hopes in thickoning throng,
AA pain's the past in mellow light.
On eastern slopes the sunbeams wko,
The soft rays, 1i 4hting lawn andslako,
On kindling earth an I heaven break
In radiance touoihed with morning-dow;
The dawn's young beauties, fre4h and aweot,
in blissful union move and moot.
What time t o passing shadows Reet,
Of n'ght depart from view.
And love sings soft the matin song,
And lip surveys on phitious strong,
The future's bleasngs. rich and long.
And paints their dawn with prescienco
- true.
Morning and noon andcst of qun,
Through all the hours of 'day'that run,'
Tho light from heaven, at dawn begun.
'lio waiting earth with beauty fills.
And naturo smiles, in all her moods,
Through lawi and laks and wildd and woods,
What tines the heavenly lustre Hoods,
And 0l1 her pu'sos thrills ;
And love takes up her joyous song,
And p and memory, true and strong,
Present and past with raptures throng,
And light which heaven's ownt love die

The Double Plot.
"Never, v.'r. never!" exclaiied
Georgia Abbott.
What i pretty pleticre sihe made, as she
stood up In the might of her pride and
' anger and relwateld the wordal Although
I was hler- governess and campanion, and
should have felt a keen pang of regret at
heart at.sucih a display of temper, I found
Imlyself instead admiring the queenly pose
of her head, the full height to which she
had drawn her well-rounded figure, and
even the very way -her little foot was set.
upon the graveled walk. 11er straw hat
had fallen back from her face, and its whit'e
stin ribbons Iay loosely about her bare
neck, like bands'of silver; while the moon
light stole over the golden-brown braids of
her luxuriant hair tinging themn softly
with its radiance.
Should I speak to her, as was perhaps
my duty, or like a true daughter of Eve,sit
by my window and watch the closing of
the little farce ? Alas! I was but a young
governess, comparatively speaking,and the
atcrn, practical. life of two years at Somner
ville Ilouse had not quite rooted out the
love of sentiment and romance that from
early youth had known a welcome hoome
with mc. So I did the latter-watched.
"But, Georgie," spoke a voice, which I
at once recognize( as belonging to my
young cousin, Walter Marston, you appear
like one insane. Will you listen to reasoRn."
"Not from you, most assuredly 1" she re
plied. "I hate you for the words yolt have
spoken to me ! I hate you-asolutely hate
you 1"
There was about a monent's pause, dur
ing which Walter retired a few paces, put
ting on the air of a prince, while Georgie
fretted out the ends of her blue sash with
her slender white fingers.
"'Very well,"'said Walter, tossing the
brown hair, which thec damp evening air
had made int o -soft ,brown rings, from his
forehead Georgia bowed, "If I ami ill,"
said lie, ''and send for you-"
"I'll never go to you, Walter Marston,
never!" interrupted the young girl.
"Very well," caime again from the lips
of Walter, as he turned half reluctantly
away.
"Take tihis,if you please 1" cried Georgic;
andi I coul see hei' drtaw hastily a golden
circlet from -her finger. "And this,"
snatching from her nieck a golden cross ; "I
-want nothing of yours about me I"
"D~o not dare to thrust such paltry trifles
in my face, Georgie Abbott, or even you
may find that there. is a bound to my en
-durance," said Walter.
All the blood of the proud Maratons in
* Walter's veiins was at once aroused by the
quivering tone in which lie spoke, as lie
tore the bjuubles from the young girl's
* grasp andl gih4~d thetit ito~te Eduste with
hIs foot, turning away from her without
turther word or comment.
T 'hero was something in his voice, some

slumbered for years witlhin my bosom. In

Ie.
"'You ire mistaken, Walter ; she does
love you, ' I replied. 'She lis been hasty,
ven as you have beer ; 'but can you not
pardon her as you hope to he pardoned ?"
"Did you ever love ?" he asked, quickly,
lixing his dark hazel eyed upon iy face,
regardless of the question I had asked him.
"And if so, would it have been possible
for you .to allow such words to fall from
your lips as fell from (eorgic's this eve
ning?"
"I havc.- loved, Walter," I said, in a
luivering voice. "I loved 'fervently, and
with all the strength of a warmu,pamssionte
heart ; and more, I spoke just such ertiel
words to the man I loved as Georgie ad
Jiressed to you this evening. 'MNly words
were like keen steel. They ran between
his heart and mine, severing them forever.
T'Iat is why my life is a sad and lonely
one. Oh, let it be at lesson to you !"
Tears shone in the dark eyes of Walter,
imd with i rapid movement he wits by lly
ilde With outstretched hands saing :
"Oh, Eklsa I I have your secret at last.
Elsa, dear cousin Elsa, you oice loved my
brother Robert ! 'Do not shake your head
I ain sure of it; and that is why youi are
Imoplug your li'e away here, and why
Robert stays away from home so long."
"Do not speak of this, Walter," I said,
-agerly clasping his hiaud. "If you have
my regard for me do not speak of it to
"Who i!" lie replied.
"To him," I replied.
"To 1Robert," said lie.
I bowed my head. I
'It shall be as your wish;" lie answered,
very thoughtfully.
'And now let tis talk of Georgie," said,
imxious to tuirn the conversation Into a new
hannel.
"And what of her?" aked Waltergrow
.ng chilly is an iceberg at the mero imen
lon of her nme.
"She loves you," I repeated.
"That reminiis to be Seen," was the
rstily-given reply.
"And miay I prove it to you ?"I asked.
Will you allow yourswelf to be convinced?"
"If I can not help it, most certinly,"
was lhie answer.
"And will you triist everything to me,'"
iad do ias I bid you?" '
"Even as you wish, Miss Counselor,"
ic replied.
"Then you may be as happy its you
hoose, for I am certain of success," I
aid.
Walter shook his head moodily, but. 1
aw that there was a new light in 'his eye,
md that in spite of his air of unbelief, lie
cally trusted in what I had told him. And
ho we parted. * * * *
"I have a letter containing news from
Walter Marston, written by a friend of
lis," I said,'in a matterof-fact tone, to
3eorgle Abbott, as she lingereud by my side
)me afteroon after lessons were over. "It
a very sad, too-very said. But excuse
nie, you wished to know something of
your French lesson. How many pages did
[ give you to translate ?"
I looked up from my book as I asked
he question. Georgie was clinging hold
>f a chair, looking as pale as the muslin
-obe she .wore. The pallor of her face
'rightened me, although I assumed an air
>f easy indifference, and assured her that
he next day's translation was exceedingly
asy.
",Will you go up to my room with m ?"
[ asked, rising and locking my desk.
"No--no; do not go," shte half gasped ;
'tell me whit you know of Walter!"
"Oh, of Walter I" said I. "Didii't I fin
sh telling you about him ? Why, lie says,
r rather his friend writes for him that if
any of his friends at 8omnerville houise wish
o see hiim, they must go to Cadlands at

"All I Miss IHerbert," she cried. "All !

"Yesterday morning," I replied.
"And are you not going to him I" she
sked.
"I fear I shall not be able to go," I re
"And'cis thiis your boasted cousinly love

"~this your sisterly tenderness, that con

your sympathy and kindness? May I be
lelivered from all such.'"
"You are getting excited, Miss Abbot t,"
remarked. You are one of Mr. Mars

But she did not give me an. answer, as,

Lon of Appetite.
Loss of appetite is of common occur
eat once at the onset of many fevers, but. IX
of usually It is a far more chronic complaint. hi
lat Nothing is commoner than to - hear people
ok say that they 'have no appetite," they "(do I
A not care for anything," or that they "ha'e C
the sight of food." It is often enough as
ofsociated with a condition of debility and
general Inaptitude for work. . It is by no
me, means uncommon in those who are wor- MN
is ried and anxious, and find it difficult to di
to make both ends meet. People who devote TJ
too much attention to the brandy bottle pn
generally find meals rather a trouble than se
otherwise ; breakfast, especially, is a difli- di
culty. These individuals are generally gi
he~ very dainty and fanciful, and when at home se
ma- grumble at everything that Is set before h<
ho them. They arc very fond of abusing the w
,x cook for what is in reality the morbid con- en
ng dition of their own digestive organs. To- m
an b~acco smokers, or, at all events, those who of
is smoke in any quantity, are seldom great (i
od performers with the knife 'and fork. To- re
to bacco and opium and alcohol seem all to hii
ty have the power of deadening the appetite. th
m. People who tdke little or no out-dioor exer- 0f
,rdl cisc generally complain that they do not eat gi
Lto well, and no wonder. If a nian wants a rl
se good appetite, lie must earn it somehow or hti
es other. Seime one may giy~e hinm his dini- th
y, ncr, hut if hd is to enjoy it lie wIll lhave to th
ry bring his own saucei ini the shape of an ap- ci
.to petite, ha
all Irregularity of meals is aiiother common a
,n. cause of loss of appetite. The stomach ap- he
ye preciates regularity, and likes to have its di
c. want attended to at the proper time. It is 9
-a curious how iii a well-regulated b~ody the Is
he 'desire for food Is experienced day by day 0r
on at efy the same. hlit .-We all know w
to 'how' dreadfully .badsteMpfredinany people se
o get if their dinner is only five minutes late. sc
mtot Ills all very well to say that they are stu- ed
as pid, and should not be put out about trifles, gi
in- but it must be remembered that it is no of
trifle to them, and that oven a slight delay at
may give rise to a considerable amount of
bodily discomfort. The stomach has been ri
accustomed to receive supplies at certain fo
regular intervals, amid, if it fails to receive u'
iho them, Jt objects mnost eipphatically. j ,Noth- i
ho ing is mere' likely to spoil th'e atppetite than y
na, eating or drinking between meals. You hu
ln. hear a man complaining- that lie cannot eat fe
en- his dinner, and you find on inquiry that pl
it, about an hour before lie had three or four re
ne dozen oysters and seome bread and butter fl
rt- 'and a pint of stout, "just to pull him to- Im
Ily getheor.'' It may be thought that this is an, N
[or exaggeration, but it ia not. We have seen' tI
dat it, and we wIsh we liad not, for nothing a
ed, can be more contemptible than a man who t11
-98~ g Y , ti. o people
to 'wodine in the middle of the day, lunch m
at. is a great mistake. Mlany people seem to H
in, thiniR' that it would boa great hardship to at
his go without food from 8:80 A. M. to 1 P. a
be. Mi. They make a good breakfast directly st
urn they get up : ham and eggs and all thue et- ii
-a. coteras; and then at 1:1 A. Mi. they go in It
art for bread and cheese and beer. '&Smuebody gi
no- once ,said that, "lunch Is reflection on w
his yout breakfast anda insul 'to your did.. (Q
att nor," and it, is a pity that more people do gi
of not bear this in mind. You can Hever ox- n
'Ito pect to have a good appetite unless you al- e
a' low a good five hoturs to .elapse between as
each of the chief meals of the day.
Now a word or two about some of what

icy should have a feast once in a whil:
t all events, if they do give any troubli
icre 18 never much difliculty in getting ri
them, and we will speak of the differeu
odes adopted for their expulsion by (n
r. In diabetes mellitus, or sugary dit
tes, there is often a most inordinitate a:
tlte. Lt is no Joke In the case of a pra
ain. Sometilmes they seem as if the
ould eat almost any quantity, and w
rtainly should not like to contract fi
eam. Ilystotleal young ladies often ec
bit the mot depraved apple les; the
ill eat almost anything, from slate penci
egg shells. Few people like cintders I
article of diet, but they really seem I
joy then. It is to be feared that thes
icies are often fostered by clcourag
eat ; at till events, the-y are less frequen;
heard of aionj; the poor, who have no
c means of gratifying thent, than .it th
gher ranks of society. What is to b
ne for los of appetite? In the first pilac
hi essential to avoid, as far as possiblk
y of the circumstances we have mentior
I as causes of this complainit. lie regn
r In your habits; got up early ; do ne
v3 out late at niglit ; titko plenty of out
or exercise ; have your bowels well ope
'cry morning ; (to not drink much tea ; ,
ite sure that you are not smoking to
tel, and ar not taking more than yo
ght to in the way of stimulant. It is
cat thing if you can dine in cheerful
(risant society-the example of eatin
oms to be alinot contagious. It is a:
nikhting what a great deil of had cooker
is to answer for in the way of exciting
staste for food. The practioa of takin
tiers before meals with the view of ii;
easing the appetito is a common one. I
undoubtedly a bad habit, but in certai
ictional derangements of the stomach a
casional gilt and bitters or sherry and hit
ra may have its advantages.
Probably the drug most frequently em
oyed with the view of stimulating th
det appetite is quinine. Two table
oonsful of the tonic quinine mixtur
ould be taken about half an hour befor
eals, or two tablespoonful of quinine win
ili (10 equally well. The infusion 0
iassia may also be used for this purpose
id its cillicacy is greatly enhanced by th
(itlion of three or four drops ot tinctur
Ux vomica. NuX voIica Is one of th
easantest blitlers we know, and will ofte
ceod admirably, oven when given i
ain water. Other tinctures and Infusion,
iployed for a similar pqrpose are those o
lumba, genttlan, chirette and cusparla
e infusions should be given In two table
oonful doses, while the dose of tincture
a teasl)oojful In water. The tincture o
Ix vomlica, It will be remembered, is
uch more powerfui drug, and the dosc o
is should not exceed eight drops. Th
fIerent preparations of hop are useful, b
', we think, best tiken in the form c
tter beer. Absinthe, or wormwood, I
rgely employed. With many people; et
ialiy those who are piedisposed to cor.
Ipation, two or three tablespoonful o
Pmlpound decoction of aloes will snecce
tter than anything. For elderly peoplk
psmn taken in five-grain doses half a
aur before meals is useful. We nee
irdly say that for patients who are ant

I "poorness of blood," iron is the remedy
