Now, a turn in a punt, or a brisk scull to some sheltered spot where tall rushes and fair water lilies made an enchanted palace; she in delicate frocks of "zephyr," pink or blue, he in flannels, his handsome face glowing with exercise and bliss. Yea, this was all easy and delightful, if it could only have lasted! Directly the large country house began to lose it3 guests, the hostess, jlrs. Mope, had time to look about her. and one of the first inconvenient things she saw was ' London, and by the time Lord Black the very evident love afiair between i moor's gout relented sufficiently to handsome Jack Talbot of the th, who enable him to appear at a late breakfast. had nothing in the world but his Cap - .aim'., w,tp ant, l,., rtnlf? 1jnnt.i.

But die worldly-wise lady re flected that Captain Talbot's visit" was only to hut three days' longer, and with I true art appeared blissfully content with the position. The nijrht before he went away the suitor applied to ilr. Hope, and begeed to have his prayer favorably answered; and he (ha vine received his brief from his wife) temporized irentlv: spoke of youth, changeable atfections, and so on, and said ne could not at present give a definite answer. "ilay I hope?" asked the suitor. "H you like," said the father; and nothing could have ended better. Lilian i waved li damp pocket-handkerchief from I her window, and the knight "rodej away." A month later Jack was ordered to Egypt, and ilrs. Hope thoucht it hishlv probable that all her difficulties would be removed by the Egyptians. If not, time was gained at any rate, and Lilian was growing handsomer every day. "My dear," said ilr. Hope, one even ing, "Lord Blackmoor is evidently struck with Lilian." "So I see," responded the wife, smiling complacently. "Ishouldn't be surprised if he spoke shortly. "So much the better." "But, ah how about the other fel low?" queried Mr. Hope, uneasily. "Nothing about him," said Mrs. Hope, resolutely; "he must not be mentioned." "Lord Blackmoor is very old." "He will make the better husband." "Lilian is a beautiful, warm-hearted girl!" faltered the father. "Had she not been beautiful a coronet would not be offered her." "But. Harriet you and I were both young when we married." Mrs. Hope calmly fixed her fine eyes on the ceiling, and her husband saw sen timent would find no response. And so, while Jack was bronzine his handsome face, and fightine for his coun- i . t0 turn a? regular detail in assum try in Eevpt. his Lilian was desired to ! m? the ean garb and ying mien ot the receive tfi idHrow nf nn lalv,ro M I poor, and maintained a hut in the rear ot foD of seventv-fivp ami wo, nnlr eighteen. But these things haDpen, so we must contemplate them. It would be useless to describe how the net was woven round the victim, how she was watched and guarded as they trav eled throughout their autumn tour. Be tween her mother and Lord Blackmoor It was arranged that the wedding should th isxe piace in .LeeemDer, and in meantime a rumor came that Captain Talbot was killed. The Hopes' return took place the end of November, and the old bridegroom elect was to come there in December. He arrived, and to the cirl seemed more distasteful than ever. He followed her about with an affectation of youthful ardor, which sorely warred with eout and dyspepsia. "Mamma," said the frenzied Lilian, "if you don't keep him awav from me owt Til say 'no' at the altar!" And, fearing this was true, Mrs. Hope rejoiced In an attack of gout which confined the old nobleman to his room,where she treated him with flattery and devotion. So then the poor girl wandered down to the boathouse. It was half a mile from the house, and there was a snugly furnished iron room there, where tea things and spirit lamps were kept. Lilian bad often made tea here in the happv summer; and now she entered the room, which struck cold and damp from long disuse, and throwing herselt in a chair sobbed as if her heart were breaking. The floods were up, and the river looked like stormy lead. Little islands viable in summer now lav buried under the rushing waters. No "flowers, no s,m- thine all like her own life, blank, itarfc despair. A footstep outside made Lilian start up quickly. It was the postman on his way to the house. "Have you any letters for me?" aked the girl. "Yes, Miss, surely," said the man, and he found three, handed them to her, and passed on. Lilian re-entered the iron room, sank on the sofa, and with trembling bands tore open one it was from Jack! As she read it, she found that other letters had been sent to her who had had them? Jack, who was in London, said he was fast recovering from his wounds, and that he had determined to come down and hear from her own lips that she gave him up.

Her heart beat so violently that she could scarcely go on, and then the lover threw caution to the winds, and in another few seconds all that was needful was told, and the old, old story went on as smoothly as if no old Lord Blackmoor existed. Late that night, after Mrs. Hope and the servants Sad gone to bed, Lilian sought her father in the library. "jly dear girl, what is the" matter?" he cried, nervously, as the fair form of his daughter, robed in a light blue dres3ing-gown, suddenly appeared, and sat downon his footstool. "Papa, Jack isn't dead," whispered Lilian, fixing her lovely eyes on ilr. rsope's wondering countenance, and fondling his hand. "Isn't he, my dear?" helplessly in quired the old gentleman, who had been aware of the fact for some time. 1 am going to marry Jack, papa " "Then don t tell me, my dear; don't tell me: exclaimed Air.

About AluisGiTin Almost everybody will give something, a quarter or a penny, to an old man, to an apparently sick or lame man, to a woman who carries a babe, to a pale little girl, or to a boy who recites his tale of woe. Christian people who have i heard that giving to the poor is lending !to the Lord, and nearly all people, whether Christian or not, who have much respect for much-abused texts, are apt to surrender a dime or a nickel to i some, if not nearly all, who ask. The dole is small, and a big heart has an un comfortable way of reproaching its owner for refusal. Thus the beggar wins, and beggary gets its continued lease of life. It required years to convince us that there is no charity so thoroughly kind as that which uniformly and unhesitatingly refuses to give at random. There is not a doubt that refusal is always best in cities, and just about best In the country also. The study has been a sad one to us, but kind, firm refusal is not onlv beat but a dutv. Nothinsr in the land is bet ter organized than the science and art of j i beirgary. The de-ervinir may rely upon heTp by city societies which investigate every applicant. Moreover, every county in the land has its poor-fund, and save in exceptional cases, which may occur in any place save Heaven, no worthy person need surier for bread or shelter. Abuses of alms are enough to tempt a man to bruise the beggar for making merchandise of human pity. We know of a case wherein a begging family lived ! H1 aI.most h"ur-v in a. S.d hl?.m.e' The-V v I the home to which, through the alley. ! cautious investigators were led to view the ready provided rags, bunk and simu lated misery. Women borrow sick chil dren to point their lying story; lameness is assumed, and cash earnings are spent for drink or sensual gratification. We once paid a man to watch a "maimed, blind man" all dav. The report was , that about four hundred people gave at least a penny eaun, auu. some prooaoiy gave half-dimes, or more. Our estimate of receipts was from six to eight doll-irs i a senator's salary. The man limped into a back street and suddenly throwing j oifall disguise, saw his joyful way home spent the evening in a saloon and went ! to bed drunk. Ofd clothes are begged and I often sold to the second-hand dealer. In j some cases baskets of cold food are sold i to nether-world restaurants; in other are j vended to those who feed them to chick I ens or pigs. We have seen a man in the street superintending, at a distance, a half dozen children who separately ap plied tor loou "tor a starving tamily, and whose collected victuals" were sold for cash. The devices of these lying cheats assume fifty forms. It is ajust rule never to give money or food unless the latter is eaten in your sight. Even in the latter case, it is better to make the beggar earn the food by some little work before eating. Shall we, therefore, have no "bowels of compassion?" That is not the alterna tive. Give to some poor fund, but never j even to that, unless it will, in your stead, i closely investigate every applicant. The citizens of the smallest village can better r i A..i . t r i "'T..H,.W.!?ne on m g? n to give at random. A great curse is that soft hearts unwittingly support a profes sion which attracts people to mendicancy and mendacity. The crowning curse is in the destruction of manhood by bring ing up a race that abandons self-help. The wretch who will not earn his dinner by the wayside by sawing wood or raking a yard should be sent away hungry. Christian Advocate Evolution in Hair-Pins.

There is hardly any subject concerning- which most persons of general, but not of special, culture would more re sent the oiler of inslru tion, than that of how to observe. Observation seems to be the mere opening of the eyes, and letting the outer worlaphotogntph itself in the dark camera of the mind. Even j the year-old i hild. whose reasoning pow ers are as yet undeveloped, can note and j follow with tho eye and ear and hand the movements whi h iro on within its little sphere. And that notinjrand following sem to come to the child instinctively and easily, rather than to be the result of any onsc'o :s attempt at learning how to use its powers of o servation. Is it any wonder, then, that grown-up persons," who can thoroughly enjoy their book or their niasra'ine. should feel that the ofier to teach them how to see things partakes of the nature of an insult? Yet, as a matter of fa -t, there is hard ly any subject in which the need of in struction is greater. The man who has not been prepared by a .-pecial course of tiaininsr, or by a .special experience, tc see things aright in a given sphere, is sure to mix up what he sees with what he thinks he sees, and what he feels about the subject in hand. He is prettv ure to note carefully the things which have little meaning, and to let some of the essentials a unnoted. Take an extreme example. A cloud gathers in the autumn evening round some mountain head, and at last drifts slowly ofl into the sky. Two observers have watched the "formation of that cloud; the one a child, the other a me teoroltgist. Ask the child what he saw. ami he may give you some such account as this: "-Oh! I saw stt-am c ra ing out of a hole in the tup of the mountain. I saw the hole .juite plainly; and there was boiling water in the hole. There was smoke mixed with thes earn, and bv and bv it became a black cloud. I guess it's a burning mountain, and that 's where all the clouds come from." One who lisened to that ae- . count would hardly know what the child saw, aud what he did not see. Glance, on the other hand, at the note book of the scientific observer. You will find that he has noted points of wh.ch the child never dream d. but which are essentia! to the understand ing of the formation of that cloud. H:s memoranda will tell you of the varying degrees of temperature ami of the hu midity of the atmosphere during the time of the observation. The exact position of the mountaiu summit has been noted its relatiuus to the mountain-masses around it. aud its di-tanee from the sea or other bodes of water. So far as possible, the direction, fon-e and heights of the prevailing air-cur-reuts. and the electrical condition of the earth anil the atmosphere, have been found and noted. This observer knows that the exilanatiou of what is peculiar in the formation of that par ticular cloud may lie in any one of a hnndred visible o-operatin causes, not one of whieh the ignorant or care less observer would either see or note. So he registers everything even the most trivial, which may adect the work ing out of the problem. Such careful and conse'entious ob servation as this consorts well with the historical and etymological associations ot the world. Observation, in the vo cabulary of the Romans, was the special name for that reverent, patient atten tion which the scholar owes to his teach er. To-day the leaders of physical sci ence preser. e the honorable meaning of the word when they restrict is to the scholar-like noting of the phenomena of nature, and refuse to give it to the master-like handling of nature iu experi ment. And the importance, even in physical researches, of this reverent teachableness, is seen in the fact that there is no wr ter on the method of sci ence, from Bacon down to Whewell and Jevons, who has not devoted a great part of his treatise to the discussion and elucidation of this seemingly simple sub ject. The first step towards- knowing how to observe is to find out how remiss one us allv i3 in this line. Copv as careful- lv as vou can a word or two in some complex character which you do not know, such as the Arabic or the San scrit. Be sure that you have an exact reproduction of the head-line which you have chosen: then take it to some one who is familiar with the language of.the writing. Unless you are a far more accurate observer than most men are. your friend wid have to show you that you have perversely exaggerated the non-essential forms and slurred over the essential. Or you can test yourself in a hundred dillerent ways. You remarked upon the beautj of the church-building which you passed yesterday. Can yoii tell how many pillars clustered about its porch? Did you note wh-ther they were of the Ionic or of the Corinthian order? Then that strangely spelled word which you encountered in your mag zine readtng lost week are "you able to-day to write its spellmgon-ha"nd. and to give its meaning and proper pro nun iation? When you have found ont how care less you are in your reading of the things which exist and the deeds which are done around you. you will be the better prepared to irain yourself to habits of systematic observation. At first nay, all through your course of training you will have to look out for a trap at every step of the path : you must be perpetually calling the mind to attention. Ivnowing that you are liable to be content with vague impressions and a sreneral surface knowledge, you must determine to scrutinize everything; strictly, almost painfully. When you seem to yourself to have noted all that is to be noted, stop and a.k yourself. What if I am asked about th's or that detail? Yon must be cont nually looking out for what.the old logicians called the differentia of the thing the something which distinguishes it from every other thing of thesame kind. hen vou have found that, you will generally have found at hat is worth knowing about that thing. Aad in doing all this you must not I friFt tlic rTr1 5nnii1 canaa nf tVta.

In this sphere, as in every other, "God reslsteth the proud, hut giveth grace unto the humble." The moment you begin to feel proud of your own powers; the moment yo l begin, to feel that vou are a master, and not a j learner that moment you are in danger i ot tailing: into some fatal nesrle t or making some irremediable error. Use the finest instrument and the best help you can procure; cultivate your power of analysis to the very keenest: let your criti ism be searching and unsparing;: but let this all 1 e done, not in a spirit of self-confidence or self-seeking, but with quiet i onfidence in Him who" is the source of all truth. This habit of careful observation will save you from many an error: it will bring you closer to the sources of knowl edge. "The fountains are sweeter at their source." says the old proverb; ever day of faithful work will tea h you the better to appre iate the- truth fulness of this saying. There will be a rare i harm in knowledge gained thus, which is wanting, in all rcere hearsay knowledge; your knowledge will be your own fitted for yon ospe ially. and molded into your very being. 5. S. Times. m Sir Peter and the Cow. While in Montreal I heard a story of Sir Peter Mitchell, member of Parlia ment for New Brunswick, of whom I spoke in a recent letter. He was an opposition member during the lamenta ble Governmen of Sir John Mackenzie in the 1 it decade, and was a con tant a d most uncomfortaYe t ora in the side of that unhappy Premier. Sir John was a conspicuous rai road mag nate, and just before the opening o" Parliament one winter Sir Peter cal ed on him to in 'uee him to pay forty dol lars for a widow's cow that had been run over by the car-. I dou't believe there's anything in it." exclaimed the Prem'er. peiemptorily; it'- prob.ib y a trumped-up case, but 1 il in- juire. and you ea to-morrow."" The gent eman from New Brunswick was not u ed to being; treated so cava' ier v. but he pocketed it. and called in the morning. "There's no justice in it. We won't pay or the cow," broke in Sir John. "You won't: won't you?" rejoi ed Sir Peter, with a manner quite as bounc ing as 'hat of the "eaderot the Govern ment. "Have you been there, or sent there and investigated it?" "No. 1 haven't; but I won't pay for the cow. It's a mere trifle, and" she ought to have keptotTthe track." "Don't the law say you shall have a fence?" -I won't pay for the cow, now; and that's all the answer yo i'II set.77 "You won't pay tor the widow's cow: . won't you. Sir John Mackenzie i I will make you pay for it." exclaimed Sir Peter, now tho.t nghlv aroused. ' "You will; you will! How will you?" grow ed the Premier.

If he had not grea" t.:ct he had great for e. and he never forgot the ow. In the spee lies he made every day against the measures and methods ot the Government, then under serious siispuion. he told the story of the cow and trotted her out with" a frequency that must have seemed like cruelty to aninials. Finally the last day of the session dawned, and the consideration of Mac kenzie's expense budget was resumed. It provi Jed the appropriations for the coming year. Sir Peter Mit; hell took the t'oor and launched into a eulogy of the deceased cow anil the propriety of making an appropriation for the widow. He was greeted with laughter and mocking apulause, and then his auditors waited uneasily for him to finish. He did not finish. " He continued. He told the story over again with embellishments and elaborations. He outrasted the stingine-s of the wea.thy ruler with the quiet enduran e of the penniless wi.'ow. He began to read from the Bible the commands to raery. justice and charity, when the honorable mem bers straggled out one by one to dinner. Sir Peter bit a buscuit. drank a swallow of water, and continued, impressing ution the empty chars about him the tender duties and graces of humanitv. Members straggled in again. He quot ed the Song of the Shirt. They ap pealed to him to draw his remarks to a close. He told the story of the cow.

A short time more an ! the season would expire by law. and the Government had passed no appro ria tion bill ! At this critical jun -ture one of the Government members rem ned excited ly from the Premier's room, rushe I to the orator's desk, and exclaimed : "In the name of God. what ails vou, Mitch ell? What do you want?"" Still." said Sir Teter. finishing the sentence he had on his lips' "not a cent has ever been paid for the wi low's cow!" The member uttered a vehement exclama tion about that animal.and ade i : " Sir John Mackenzie authorize? me to say j that he will pay for the cow if you'll let ! this bill come to a vote."
