A num ber of Thackeray's pen-and-ink sketches were sold not long since in London, and, although they bore no monogram or signature, no one dis puted their genuineness. A true preacher also cannot be hid. That which John had seen and with his own hands handled of the world of life could never be to any *tber person just what It was to him. A preacher who pyts himself into his sermons is as readily detected in his sermon as anywhere else.

"She won't be a bridesmaid, ^do you understand? She won't be anything." "Albert! Honestly, Grace didn't ac tually say anything right out, but simply felt that she meant something.

"And you never asked anyone?" A "Certainly not!" "I might have known that. She'd have grabbed you quick enough. If I don't give Grace Elliott a piece of my mind when she comes around here again." "I wouldn't pay any attention to any thing she says." "I don't, but she has such a crawly, tantalizing way of saying things about people she knows you like. Albert, do you ever see Fannie McCleilan any more?" "I just see her once in awhile and that's all." "You are—are friends at least?" "I suppose so." "You've never had a quarrel or any thing like that?" "Ob, no." "Then I don't 6ee why you shouldn't be. friends. She's a sweet, lovely girl, and I know she wa» very fond of you, and may be yet, for all I know, and I think It would be awfully mean of you not to treat her just as beautifully as you could.

"But you do, and I want all of your friends to be my friends, and you know you've promised to like all of my friends." "All right, then. We'll have Fannie to dinner as soon as we're settled."

"He nothing common did or mean, upon that memorable scene, but .with his keener eye,} the ax's edge did try.** Such was the testimony of a republican poet, and there is no doubt that the sad dignity with which "Charles Stuart" comported himself in his last day* roused qualms of remorse among some cf those contemporaries who had been harshest in their judgment of his pub lic policy. Admiration of the man went far to redeem the faults of the king, and with posterity he became at once the most sympathetic figure in the his tory of England*—not even second to Mary Queen of Scots. And of her no body will ever believe, let the Dryas dusts bring forward what documentary evidence they please, that she painted her face and wore false hair. It is pretty certain, if the purchaser of King Charles' silken raiment ever thinks of allowing that precious posses sion to pass out of his family, that it would fetch far more than he has givem for it. Placed in any museum it would always be thronged with sightseers the combination of royal associations with grewsome memories would be quite irresistible. The most superior person is attracted,, though he may deny it, by such horrors as abook bound in human skin, or by instruments, like the Maiden of Nuremberg, which he knows to have been used for torturing real men and women to their death. This relish of bloodshed—as distin guished from mere love of adventur ous deeds—has given vogue to whole schools of romancers it helped to ac count for the sudden popularity of Mr. Bider Haggard's tales, as it made the fame of Maurus Jokai. The taste is, no doubt, morbid, and ought not to be en couraged. But it is natural, and has to be taken into account. And the psycho logical interest of it is to show that we are not, im our feelings, so far removed from our barbaric ancestors as we like to think.—London Standard. RICHES OF THE SOUDAN.

How soon can the Soudan be made to meet its own share of expense and re lieve the Egyptian exchequer? It must prove, at first, a costly acquisi tion. A numerous local force must be maintained, and- although the Egyptian army estimates may be relieved by a certain reduction of the native troops, the military establishment in the Soudan will still constitute a severe tax, to which the province can contribute little. Even in more flourishing days, before it was wasted and depopulated by the piti less dervish rule, the Soudan was not particularly productive its export trade did not exceed 1,000,000, and its chief product was gum arable. There is some accumulation of this, it is said, awaiting more peaceful times to come down country, and the industry will no doubt revive and develop. Agri cultural enterprise will probably ex tend, especially in the lands longest recovered the fertile province of Don gola, for example, which, according to all accounts, has made rapid progress under the active steps taken to recol onize. Nine-tenths of the old popula tion has returned, many from the lower province, and grants of land have been freely given to all. The same good re sults may be seen higher up the river, at Abu Ilamed and Berber, and all trade will be stimulated by the facilities offered by several routes—the new railway back to Wady Haifa, and the now reopened desert road to Suakin. As for the heart of the Soudan, Khar toum, and beyond, it is not yet in the Egyptian possession, and it is still an known quantity, its resources hardly explored. Many think that it is rich in mineral wealth, and the existence of a great gold-bearing field in this southeastern extremity has long been known, the country of the Beni Sbengol, on the confines of Abyssinia, and be lieved to be really the site of the Bib lical K»ing Solomon's mines.

Pleased at these somewhat novel Bigns of cleanliness, he called out: "Well, Jones, I see you are making your house nice and smart." With a mysterious air Jones, who had recently taken the cottage, de scended from the ladder, and slowly walked to the hedge which separated the garden from the road.
