CINDERELLA. ¢ Really, it is quite a riddle, when one comes to think of it,' said Mrs, Dale putting the tips of her ringed fingers meditavely to- gether. 'Jeanette is a charming girl with a most taking way with her, I'm sure there can be no doubt about her marryiug satisfac- torily. And Marian's music is an excellent card to play. Phillippa--' ¢ An odd little gypsy, isn't she ?' said Mr. Dale. 'Decidedly impracticable, I should think.' ¢ Neither nretty, accomplished nor wo. manly,' sighed Mrs, Dale, gloomily. Mrs. Darrel Dale, had no children of her own, and she knew the social position which any middle aged matron gains when she is surrounded by pretty girls, So Mrs. Darrell Dale had invited her brother's daughters from Hemlock Hollow in the Catskill Mountains, Po spend the summer at Niagar Falls with er. +I dare say,' said she confidentially to her sister-in-law, thé farmers wife, 'they'll marry well before the season is over ; and, in any event the experience will be worth a deal to them.' And honest Mrs, Humphries took all her ten years savings out of the Hemlock Hol- low bank to equip the three girls suitable for their summer campaign, Jeanette took to waltzing and the German as naturally as if he had been born to them; Marian slipped gracefully into a musical and literary groove ; but poor little Phillippa seemed to fit nowhere. She was shy and silent in the ball room, struck uncom fort. ably mute when she ought to be talkative, and seemed to prefer the woods, beside the great cataract, when all the world flocked to the ball:room of the Clifton House, or the International, + Because, Aunt Theo,' said Phillippa, 'I never know what to say to the gentleman when they ask me to dance, But my dear child,' said Mrs. Dale, 'that's not the way to get into society,' ¢ I--I don't think I care very much for society, Aunt Theo, said heritical Phillippa Then you'll never get married in the world,' said Aunt Theo, in an accent of des- pair. But even Phillippa was roused into inter- est when the cards came out for the grand fancy masquerade ball at the International Hotel, and Mr. Dale gave each of his nieces a hundred dollar-bill, to enable them to ap- pear suitably for the occasion + 1 shall personate 'Undine'," said Jeanette thinking how well she would look in sea- green crape, crystal fringes and water lillies. + And I shall be 'Sappho', cried out Mar. But when one comes to ian «Capital I said Mrs, Dale. 'And you, Phillippa 7' + I don't know yet," said Phillippa, con. tracting her great eyebrows,' 'Mr. Mortimore says I ought to go as a gypsy.' "Then, my dear,' said Mrs. Dale, 'be a gypsy by all means. If Mr. Mortimer is good enough to express an opinion, it should not be neglected, And both Marian and Jeanette looked a little jealous, for the Hon, Hugo Mortimer, from Montreal, was the lion at Niagara Falls just then, aod his gracious notice was wnough to insure the lucky recipient a front place in the ranks of fashison. « When did he say that, puss 2' demanded Jenette, jerking out the ribbons of her sash, ¢ On, yesterday, when we were over on Goat Island.' «Did he walk with you ?' « A little way.' «I hope yon made yourself agreeable ?' suggested Marian, tartly. «I don't know whether I did or not,' said Phillippa. 'And now, Aunt Theo, if you'll give me that bundle, Dll take it to Elsie Dupre. There will be just time before tea for us to walk there and back.' « But the band will play presently, and--' «Thank you, aunt,' said Phillippa, 'but 1 dont care for the band. « Phillippa,' said Mrs. Dale, I do think you are the strangest girl ! Slise Dupre was a slim consumptive.look. ing girl, who lived among the spruces and tamracks, on the Canadian side, and took in what sewing, embroidery, and lace-mending she was lucky enough to get--a girl in whom Phillippa Humphries had somehow become interested, perhaps because she was so friend- less and shadowy, and forlorn, But instead of being singing at her work, Phillippa found poor se sobbing at the window, while her grandmother a hook: nosed, saffron- skinned old crone sat rocking herself back and forth by the fireless hearth, The girl put her warm brown hand on Elise's shoulder, « Elise,' said she, 'stop crying. what is the matter 7' « Don't touch me, mademoisolle,' wailed poor Elise. 'They are coming to take me to prison to-night,' And then, in answer to Phillippa's startled eyes of inquiry, she told her how Mrs. St. George had sent a white moire dress to be re. trimmed with costly Spanish blonds--Mrs St. George, of the Clifton House, whose pearls, and diamends, and splendid toilets, were the marvel of the place--and how by some accident, the old grandmother bad contrived to upset a kerosene lamp upon it. «It is ruined of course,' said Elise, clasping her hands; and I cannot pay for itso I am to be arrested for tho money it ig worth.' «She must be an old hag I" said Phillippa, Tell me See W.

"They shall not put you in prison!' said Philippa. 'How much was the dress worth ?' «A deal of money, mademoiselle, A hun- dred dollars I" wailed Elise. Phillippa Humphries put her hand into her pocket, where the hundred dollar bill that Uncle Dale had given her lay aside the folds of a tiny blue velvet portmonnaie. «Here's the money,' said she, 'give, it to the odious old harpy, and don't cry any more ; for your eyes are swelled twice their usual size already.' Elise looked incredulously at the little brown slip of paper, «But mademoiselle, you are surely not in earnest? said she. You cannot be |' 'Yes, I am,' said Phillippa shaking back the jetty ring of hair from her solemn black eyes. 'Take that money, pay Mrs. St. George, and don't say any more about it.' . . . . . . . «Well, Phillippa,' said Mrs. Dale, 'Have you decided upon your character yet?' Yes,' said Phillippa, quietly, I will be Cinderella I" "Who ? said Mrs. Dale, with her hand behind her ear. 'Dont you remember, Aunt Theo? The little brown-skinned girl who stayed at home when her sisters went to the Prince's ball ' 'What a very odd choice! said Mrs. Dale. Is it?' said Phillippa. Well I always did like to be different from other people Aunt Theo.' The masquerade ball wasa brilliat success. 'Undine,' in silver green crape and white water. lillies, was as lovely as a dreaw ,-- 'Sappho' was tall and pale and delightfully classic; but there was one drop lacking in the cup of feminine happiness. Mr. Mor- timer, for whose benefit half the belles of Niagara Falls had dressed that evening was not there. «So provoking of Phillippa,' said Aunt Theo, to go and throw away that money | . 'My dear,' said Mr Dale, 'a good deed is never thrown away. And really that Cinderella idea of the little girl's wasn't so bad. Ha, ha, ha! she did stay at home when her sisters went to the ball. 'She will never learn wisdom,' said Mrs. Dale; with some asperity. 'It's so strange she don't care about such things." But as it happened, Phillippa did care about such things And at that identical point she was standing on one of the star- lighted verandas withont, with a pink Shet- land shawl around her shoulders, peeping surreptitiously through the window at the wa ters 'Miss Phillippa I" She started guiltily, ) 'Oh, Mr, Mortimer! I am not doing wrong, am I? i He smiled as he drew her arm through 8. 'But why are youn not dancing inside ?' '--1I preferred not to-night.' 'Little Phillippa,' said Mr. Mortimer, standing still under the ehadow of a droop- ing elm, 'you are equivocating now. And, as ithappens, I know the trath I' «I don't understand you,' said Phillippa. 'My valet is in love with Elite Dupre. -- Ske has told him all about your deed of kindly charity and he has told me-' Yes,' said Phillippa, in a low tone. 'My uncle gave me money for a dress; but I preferred helping Elise to going to the ball. 'You told her aunt you were going as Cinderella.' ' How do you know ? But that isn't strictly true,' laughed Phillippa. 'I was to be Cin- derella, And so I am. "Then, Phillippa, if you are Cinderella, will you let me be the Prince 7" Mr. Mortimer | Stheefest I have been looking all my lite for just such a pure, noble-hearted girl,' said Mortimer, 'And now that I have found her, 1 shall not willingly let her go.' 'Do you mean--' ; "I mean, love, that I want you for my wife I" . . . . . . . Mr. Dale could hardly credit his own ears the next day, when Hugo Mortimer formally requested of him the hand of his youngest niece in marriage. And Mrs, Dale litted her hands and eyes to the ceiling. "To think that it should be Phillippa, after all I" said she.

In the provinces eft to Turkey there are 5,122,000 lfihabi- tants, about half of whom are Mobammedans, "The propottion of Mohammedans in the ced- ed provirices was formerly about the same, but the changes of the war hive been such that the Christian population now prepon- derates decidedly. The whole Balkan Peniusula is estimated to contain about fifteen millions, of whom five millions are Mohammedan, although these figures are only approximate.

Mr. Block was arraigned before the | elders of the church to answer a charge of | having violated the laws of the Bible and of! the Church in permitting round and square dances in his house, and was suspended from membership by a vote of tour to three, The peacon was not satisfied, however, to allow this decision to remain final, and he appealed to the Atlanta Presbytery. The issue raised by the pleadings is:--"First, is dancing wrong per se according to Biblical law ? and, second, is dancing entirely pro. hibited by the deliverance of the Presby- terinn General Assemblies, or are lascivious | and promiscuous dances only forbidden ?" The detendant admits that he allowed and encouraged dancing on the occasion in ques. | tion, but asserts that the dancing was neith. er promiscuous nor lascivious in its nature. Both parties--the deacon and the session which suspended him--are represented by able pleaders, and the result will be awaited with interest. a &-- Sambo on his Muscle.

His wife screamed for help, and a farmer who was chopping wood close by ran for- ward and with a stroke of his axe laid the bird senseless on the ground.

MoxTrEAL, May 10.--A meeting of share. holders of the Graphic Printing Company was held to day, when Sir Francis Hincks stated that the Directors bad determined to discharge one of the managers in New York, and so save $10,000 a year. Mr. Prentice replied that this would be a mero bagatelle, and said a sweeping change in the manage- ment was necessary. A letter was read from a number of the shareholders asking Sir Francis and other Directors to resign. -- The subject of excluding the press was brought up. Mr. Prentice said the Direct- os had acted in a most nefarious way, He said that if Sir Francis was not an old man, he would be tempted to throw him ont of the window. Mr. D.J. Bannatyne stood up and said to Mr. Prentice:--+You are a d-- blackguard, a fool, and a coward." On this Mr. Prentice rose up, and saizihg hold of a chair attempted to strike Mr, Bannatyne with it, Both men, who are very powerful, closed and wrestled terribly for some time, until separated by Dr. Hingston and others present, The chairman left his seat, and declared the meeting closed. - Mr, Prentice --uThis meeting is not closed. You are all a pack of confounded cowards." Threats ji freely made use of on both sides.-- aw. SUET PUDDING.

The Belleville Ontario's "Wesleyan Min ister," who wrote the infamous falgehood to that paper stating that "he saw Sir John carried out of the House drunk," turns out to be no minister at all but & simple rag of the cloth who has the cheek to expect some ay to be a minister. This would-be minister meanly secks to sneak out of the infamy by first blaming the Outario for distorting his language while he acknowledges that he had drawn his inspir- ation from the Toronto Globe. Here follows the slander hawker's letter to Senator Flint :-- «In regard to the mitter in question, it trial of Deacon Frank E. Block of the Cen- | was a great mistake from beginning to end ; in the first place the letter was "purely pri. vate, and tie parts of it now printed are wrong. 1 donot recollect the words used, but I do the meaning intended. T had been mentioning being at the House, but my re= marks as to the state ot John A, and the uproar were fonnded on the Globe of the 15th or 16th inst., and on current and pretty generally accepted reports, not on what I actually saw, as I left before the excitement commenced," Will the Reformer Rise and Ex- plain. The Norfolk Reformer states that the ex- pease of distributing $14,000 to high schools in this province costs the ridiculous sum of $4,380. Thirty oue and one third per cent is a little too extravagant these hard times, Taking away the $4,000 and leaving 8380 this latter would be a shamefully extravag. ant amodnt to pay for distributing $14,000. Eighty dollars would be an extravagant charge. --_------------ Too Costly a Target. ANOTHER CRAZY MAN ATTEMPTS TO ASSASSINATE THE EMPEROR WILHELM OF GERMANY. Loxpoy, May 11,--A despatch from Berlin says :--At 3 30 this afternoon, as the Emper. or Wilhelm was returning from a drive with the Grand Duchess of Baden, several shots from revolvers were fired at him in the Avenue Unter Duu Linden. Nobody was burt. 'The person who fired the shots has been arrested. It appears that two shefs were fired into ed more than a general sésre. The would- be assassin is & tinsmith by trade, a native of Leipdic and is twenty one years of age. -- He denies having shot at the Emperof af all and asserts that being out of employ- ment and destitue of means his only inten< tion was to come before the public and thus to show the sad altercative to which the poor are sometimes driven from dire necess-- ity. A second party was afterwards np pre- hended supposed to bean accomplice. All of them, however, stontly deny the soft im-- peachment. 'The supposed accomplice was soon set at liberty being wholly uncon. nected with the fracas. Signs.
