Il was a Warm odorous evening
in early S* pteinber «Daylight had
it->i ret wholly departed, and in the
soft, gray' ether of approaching twi
light, the gardens of Hoseland lay
like an enchanted domain, still and
beautiful.
Here

and the serene features of marble
Floras and Nioohes looked out upon

I there among thebloom
footstep sounded, and
through the gates a man came slow
ly, with his gaze directed at the
mansion before him.
He was lint 11 youth, nor yet ar
rived at nil age to lie termed elderly.
He was unusually handsome, with
a dark, poetic fare and the air of a
Then
prince.
"I must speak my mind to-night,"
lie thought, as lie approached the
hou-e. "I have lingered here too
long already. Yet when I thought
to unburden my heart to lier, some
thing held me buck ; there has nl
iiitaugilile influence in her
manner liait checked me; yet i love
lier, I love herns I have never loved
before, and will never love again.
Ob, Violet, Violet; I must know the
truth !"
A faint color had risen to ids
cheek, and his eyes glistened. He
had reached tlie steps of tlie man
sion, and as lie mounted, a strange
cry floated out on tlie air, a weird,
wailing sound, that made him
shiver involuntarily.
He entered hastily and saw, leap
ing up the broad stairs, a dwarfed
form, that turned when it reached
tlie upper landing, and looked back
at him.
The face was strangely distorted,
and tlie eyes gleamed luridly in tlie
semi-darkness. At that instant
Violet Winthrop appeared, and this
form above vanished.
"Has anything happened ?" asked
Bruce Douglass! anxiously, for her
beautiful face was pale and the laces
on her breast rose and fell with her
rapid breathing.
"No, nothing; come in," she an
swered, and they entered the par
lor together.
"Oil, Mr. Douglas, I knew I could
not keep my secret from yon !" she
faltered, "but remember I never
asked you to come here."
"No, you did not, Mrs.Winthrop,"
he answered, puzzled by her manner
as much as her words. "I came
here because I found pleasure in
your company, because I-"
"I should never have consented,"
she interrupted, a faint color rising
in lier cheeks. "You saved my life,
Mr. Douglas, and therefore I was
grateful ; yet I should have thanked
you and let you go your way. But l
was so lonely here, I thought 1
would find in you a sympathetic
friend."

And so you have—more than a
"Vi

ölet, I love yon ! let me share your
sorrow—lie my wife !"
Heeaught lier jeweled hands in
mi aidant clasp, and leaned nearer,
but she drew irom him witli an ex
pression of horror ; lier blue eyes
darkened, lier lips paled.
"Mr. Douglas, what are you say
ing ?" she asked, horsely. "You ask
me to he your wife—me! Oh, you
do not know —I nevor told you !"
"No, you did not tell me, but I
have heard. Violet, I know you
have sacrificed yourself for tlie sake
ofa brother who lost his reason—
tlie man I saw—but I love you,
my darling, and-"
"Stop !"
She rose and stood before him,
and never had lie seen such misery
depicted on a human countenance
that upon tlie lovely face of Vio- j
let Winthrop.
Bruce Douglas, that man is my
as
husband," she said in low, intense
tones ! "I married him by my pa
rents wishes, when I was little more
than a child, lie was dissipated,
and I was miserable; then lie met
witli tlie accident that deformed his
body and wrecked his mind. For
three years I have concealed my se
cret sorrow from the eyes of tlie
world. You love me, you say. What
rigid have you to utter those words ?
Have I ever given you a word or a
look that your wife, if you had one,
could not give another? Oil, if I had
dreamed of this !"
"You are not to blame, Vi—Mrs.
Winthrop," lie answered, humbly
"My 1 ovc lias made me presump
tious. Forget what I have said."
"Yes, I have been to blame that I
ever reeieved you ; it has taught me
a lesson," she she said, coldly. Let
I us part now—forever.
lie rose, and with one glance into
her cold, calm face, went out into
the gathering darkness, feoling as if
his whole life was wrecked.
As he passed through the gîtes
and struck into the path that led by
the cliffs to the village, an uneasy
feeling came upon him.

ed more substantial than a shadow
a few paces behind him, but when
he spoke no one answered him.
Yet behind him was creeping a
dwarfed ligure, with a dark, demon
ical face, and something that glitter
ed in his clinched hands.
Bruce Douglas went on unconsci
ously, but as lie reached the cliffs lie
paused and looked out over the wa
ter. A premonition of coming evil
hung over him. Nearer came that
lient form, stepping lightly, yet
keeping his baleful glance fixed on
tlie unsuspecting man.
He leaped forward suddenly, witli
his weapon raised to strike him
down, but at that instant a women's
cry rang out, and liruee, startled,
wheeled about.
Just ill time ! His ussailant jostled
him roughly, but that side step sa
ved his life ; and, carried by the force
of his own attack, the deformed
maniac was hurled over the e Igo of

There is no nobler trait in the

the horizon changing with every
circumstance and every thought and

beautiful and serene, now a storm

the landscape, and now a hurricane
which rocks the earth with its pow
er. The time has not long since
passed when physicul courage on
the part of our first settlers was a
matter of necessity as with their
rude implements and limited know

and made fertile the desert places
in the very presence of the hostile
savage. So it has been ; also in the

But physical courage is not tlie only
evidence of heroism. Tlie man who
conquers and governs himself is

circumstances as lie who faces tlie
arrow of the savage or tlie bullet of
tlie foe. He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty ; and lie that

Uncle Clinton, who is a power

is dissatisfied with the color school
teacher. Upon being asked the
reason of his dissatisfaction, he said:
"Da, bless you miss, dis teacher's a

Bishop Templar related a story of
his youthful son (aged six) at a re

story has a profound moral not un
connected with hereditary disposi

infant was walking on I'utney Com
mon with his nurse when they
"came to a drunken man," to quote
his lordship's phrase. The boy was
shocked, and said to his nurse: "I
should like to be King without any
Parliament. I would make the
stuff' a guinea a drop, and then it
would be too dear for them to buy
it." There is a budding autocrat!

"How noble! He must be a treasure

Mr. Walter G. Murphy, of New
York city, has discovered that fish
can be kept alive a considerable
time without change of air or water
by placing them in a receptacle
partly filled with water, and hermet
ically sealing the same. They are
unaffected by changes of tempera
ture, and quite healthy and lively on
being released from the jar, while
others placed in jars "quite full of
wuter, or in jars open and exposed"
to the air in a short time. This dis
covery will save great expense and
trouble to lisli commissions, and
others, who wish to transport fish in
a live condition from one country
to another.

The story of bishop Selwyn's en

known. Hisliop Goo, of Melbourne,
seems to have had a somewhat sim

When a curate, a parishioner styled
Jim the Slogger called at the par
sonage asking him to baptize the
baby. Accordingly, the bishop re
paired to Jim house, but wus sur
prised on being admitted, to see
Jim lock the door and pocket the
key. "Be you the parson come to
sprinkle my kid ?" he asked. On
the bishop's assenting, he continu
ed : "Yer can't sprinkle that kid till
you and me has had a fight, parson.
The unfortunate parson protested,
but finding protest useless, took the
hull by tlie horns and "stood up"
to Jim. The battle went for the
of
Bishop ; and Jim, pulling himself
up from the floor, muttered : "He's
the parson for me ; he shall sprinkle
my kid." The Bishop was forth
