They could scarcely have told you how they dragged 0:1 an e':irienco through tho lirst dreary wc.'ks. Tho weather fittud with their feelings, and nothing broke tho monot ony of thoir trouble. "You'll havo to come hack, Maria," wro!o Ka!o. "Tho houso ia getting so damp with mamma' a team that tho walls will mildew pre sently.

There seomn to be nothing to da, nothing to ex pect, nowhere to go. ' My quarter hasn't yet been paid, and we have Hhoi t commons, I can tell you. The table emphasizes our low spirits three times a day ; but mamma will have it set, if thoro in only potatoes and milk. You wore all the life and comfort wo had, and now you are gone. But yon have had your outing now; and unions you want mo to go to an insane asylum, you will have to como homo, and leave Urooks to his fate." The answer to this letter wan a fortnight's later date. -Coms homo, indeed," said Maria. "when I'm having the first good time in my life! Such a new and strange life too! Such an atmosphere, and such scenery a world of pictures. I supposo yDU think of us in a des ert; but can you muster a dozen superb young Sanls, Englishmen and others, every morning with fialloping across country, every evening with music and dancing? You know so many English of tho first water come over to hunt the buffalo, an 1 some to ta!:e up land for ranches. Thcro is a Mr. Cholmondeley, and C"2pL Arundel and bin sister, and Mr. and Mrs. Cecil, and I don't kuow how many others, lirst and last a new ono always turning up. Soyouseathe time passes finite diiferontlv from time at home, witere you so seldom see a marrying man, that when you do, you think he belongs to another species. Oh, and I mn.-t not forget the Colonel! Now, what do yon think of n real British nobleman, of a faintly titled since the Conqueror or is it the lloodi Col. Sir Guy Temple! Perfectly charming, nnd riuh beyond calculation tin mines in Cornwall. I think wo shall name the mine fyr Lim. iJy the way, didn't Brooks write yoc that he has a little mine himself? He has given mo half of it" And so the letter ran on, a:. great cheer it brought Into that dull place whore it was read tThe Colonel," srid Mrs. Dilloway retlective ly, an Maria knew she would. 'Colonel Sil Guy Temple. Those old titles think more o themselves than half the ducal houses in tin realm, yon know. I didn't twppose any onf but the Prince of Wales owned tin mines in Cornwall, though. I wonder if Maria' dl es '09 Nili, they don't need dressoa, mamma, ic thr.t hie" -Not need dre-t-e3. Mug.iret!" cried Mrs. I:lk-v. y holding tip her hands. -1 7ne.u1, mamma, her ridmu dres, that rhe made fiom the water proof, you remember, is ti-i g'Hid there as a velvet omt-trair. v. jnld be iu I .. n. Ion. " -J'.-.m- Maria in't really j.'. l tty," rfoliioquized Mrs. lii'lo-.N.-.y; ' I nt that's the "way thii:,js go. What a pity, "Margaret, that you could nt ha.-t g(in out with Brooks !" uOh, Maria's brightness is just as good for her as beauty,'' .said KatJ. 'd!' she only could be comfortably estah l'flie.l! Thar "would help all the rest, too. It's too good to hope for, though, in this family." 'Well, perhaps sho will be. She certainly has a ohance." ' And somehow the gray weather was not quite ho gray to Mrs. Iilloway and her daughters; it half seemed to them as if the cloud micht l e about to lift, and in the vagno fense of nuconjecture 1 possibili ties, Mrs. Diliowsy feltri.-h enough to call iu a rasued urchin and make him neat with an out fit of Fred's and Harry's easr-off garments, that had already been patched and darned into an other color. 'We are just in from a long gallop," another letter of Maria's ran. "The wind is giving me quite a color. I shall turn out pretty before yon know it. There are some folks who seem to think I am already. Tho air is so cl ar, you think you are on wings. I wish Margaret were here. " I really think it would do ner good. It would do her pood, too, to have a littlo of this gay life. It really enlarges an opens your horizon. Mrs. Cecil now has yachted up under the Midnight Sun. When she tells me about it, I feel as if I had. too. She has told mo all about the Temple Gardens in Cornwall, Sir Guy's place you were so interested in my mention of him, that I will tell you running down to the shore, and quenching all their flaming blos soms in the silver wash of the sea thera A fine old Elizabethan place, the mansion is, she say, ivy-covered, with all La quadrangles and courts and wings and stacked chimneys and utaMes. On the walls of the long hall every Lady Temple, one after the other, for how many hundred years I can't say, makes room for the next one. Think of hanging up your picture there, to look out on the world "long after your eyes are dust in their socket! There are some haunted diamonds in the fam ily, too. lnd yon ever hear of such a thing? Along the yi vr of the marriage of the heir they blazn lik bonfires, with a whito light far vli"ps'ui? th -ir real lustra; and just before the death of a Tein;l.t they blaze again with a bale ful red torchlight, and then are dull and ordaiary diamo ids. not particularly well ent.

Q. Didn't ho tell you you could't pose? A. I don't know what pose is. I didu't know what ho wanted iu tho lir.it pi ce. Q. Didn't Mr. Ward, during the week you were there, very frequently express dissatis faction with tho way you would stand? A. Once in a while he would say, "Burns, Pit r.p a little;" but a man couldn't stand on one 102 all the while. At tho end of the lirst week he gave me S'i.oO, saying ho guessed I won Id want some beer. Mr. Ward testified that Burns was found through an agent of his, and wanted as a model for a statue of Washington. After a tort examination he thought Burns' legs would do, and told Burns ho would like to en gage him neon trial. "Sometimes a model seems to be good, but tho next test is whether the proposed m.i '.el can pose, and hold the Fose properly. When ho commenced his pose found he could not hold properly.

In the White Sloiise Haunted? From the Washington Critic. Yes this building is haunted," said an at tache' of the presidential mansion to Tho Critio thin morning, "and it is said that supernatural hts are not unfrequenly witnessed in these large, old-fashioned rooms and airy halls. Sovoral weeks ago the president changed the location of his bedchamber by removing from the east to the north room, and it was vaguely whispered that his slumbers had been dis turbed by a nocturnal and weird visitor, the eamo that one of our chambermaids said she had seen walking stately r.nd erect through the up-stairs hallways on several occasions. Yes, the ghostly visitor is a man," contin ued the attache, "because I remember well of hearing the chambermaid say that be had long flowing white hair and beard, and very much resembled the statesmen of long ago, whose pictures we see printed on the pages of history. At any rate, Bir, I know that the president's rest is often disturbed at night, because I have heard him time and again moving about long after midnight, and sometimes I have listened to his steady and continued pacing across the floor when every one else in the house was slumbering, and wondered what iras disturb ing him." -His great responsibility or dyspesia might hav? been the agent," suggested The Critic. "Oh, uo," quickly rejoined the attache, neither of them, I'm sure. It was the White House ghost, and I'll bet on it This ghost is tho same one that made Gen.
