" Where did you I tarn this delicious spell ? " aiiked Frances, " il makes the pun almost a luxury." Ksperanoe laughed a little. " I don't think there is anything to learn.

" To love ! no, It ii knocking all the love oat of mi ; I loved before when I was happy, bat this ia making me oold, hard icy, jU-l ni they are." France* fcvl wished to steer dear of the deanery, and was not pleased at tbe allusion, nor in truth was Eaperance her self, for ihe waa to] well bred not to fee that mention of ber cousins' failings ought to be atriotly guarded against.

" By and by," repeated Frances, " yon will learn to ' take ii on trim, and though tbe troubles will be trouble* still, yoa wil try lo learn the lessons they are meant to teach.

I have conquered my coachman, and ~ don'l mean to be a slave to my gardener, shall give a general invitation to the wbol village." II seemed that tha whole village accept*. the invitation, for by seven o'clock tbe lawn waa crowded with expectant watchers, Mr Miles himself being one of the number KJod-naturedly willing to make the best o thii invasion of hil territory, and secretly enjoying tbe little excitement as much a anybody. On tbe terrace Sir Henry bad arranged hil apparatus, about which Harry and Fred hovered importantly, while Kathie, half afraid of such unknown things kept fast boll of Eiperanoe'i hand, anc whan the first rocket waa let off with a mysterious whu and ap ward rush, fairly drugged her away. There was something weird and wonder fnl about tbe whole aoene, and the awe< lilcnoe, or marmnrs of admiration of th roitic spectators, ware equally impreasive Ksperanoe, though she bad seen far grander dijplayi al Paris, had never enjoyed any ao much, and ihe wai as eager as the boya were to try her hand at letting off squibs or crackers, wiiil* Kthi 1000 lost her fear and pleaded for a " Catherine wheel," " u do ail herself." Then after a shower ol brilliant, intny -colored snakes, and an elaborate device, tbu assembly broke ap the villagers going home with laity cheers, in which Harry and Fred could not resist joining, in spite of their mother's Uu^hmg remonstrance. Afterward, there was' a rash to " Aaat Fanny's " room, and a rapturous account of all that had been done, Frances listening with tbe greatest interest, and |uile enter nginto it all, Iboagh Esperanoe was sore- by tbe sharp contraction of her forehead, every now and then thai she waa in great pain. Ia a few minutes, however, Lady Worth- mgton cauia in and pat an end to tbe chatter wilh -' Now, children, go to bed; I am sura you are all tired." " Not a bit, mamma," said the boys, lint they were obedient enough, in spits of thsir uproarious wil Inees, and went off at once. After tbsy were gone, Lady Worthington, Krauoee, and Esperanoe eat over the fire, talking, till Frances, thinking lhat three was no company, wiihed them good-night, and lefl her sister lo win Esperance's love M a itli * tttt. And very well ihe succeeded. Any 'iperieooe of real motherly tenderness was entirely new to Ihe poor child, and she was soon clinging lo Lady Worthinglon wilh all Ihe ardor of newly awakened love, and Iking almost more feely than ihs had done wilh Franoee. They did not touch on Ceperanoe's present life al al 1 , bnt Lady Worthington, wilh Ibo greatest tact, spoke of her mother, rejelling two or three inci- dents in ber life, which her little daughter istrned to eagerly, and then going on to ll of her brief visit to the Chateau de Uabillon. when Oaspard was a baby, making Esperanoe smile by her deeoript- ons, though il is true the lean wers not r off, and cams down In showers when ihe conversation tamed to the troubles in he mrge.

Oar grandmothers woald have openec their eye* at tha thought of a professions trunk packer.

E. A. Matthews to tbe Y -uth ' >im n. Il is work that ia special! adapted for womanly fingers, for the me seem to think that nothing is needed bo physical force, aod their notion of paokio is to roll up every article, and njaecza th bundles into corners, and pat the heavies articles on top. Before starting upon a laak that wil require a long time, and will demand moo thought and planning, the packer shout 4 > from room to room, from closet t closet, from bureau to bureau, and aeleo exactly what she intends to take with ber Tbia ii the only manner by which every thing will be lecnred, and nothing mislai or Ii fi behind. It 11 a good plan to do yonr packing in lower room, ai it is much easier to brio things down than to carry them op, an then u is not so bard to lift ihe trunk whe filled, nor so difficult lo get it oat of tb house. Nearly all staircases bear honora ble icars than have been won in a battle be tween truck and porter. When everything has been collected, anc the lime uf the journey drawi nigh, th trunk should be brought down, ita interio duited and all in broken straps, corners locks, etc., carefully mended. The beav articles, shots, books, underwear, in abort everything which will bear pressure, mm be place i in tha bottom. Over theae foil a layer of newspapers or a soft old iheet. Ia folding dresses, if tbe trunk is toe short lo admit of the ikirt lying full length be sure and fold it carefully over a little a ibe top. All itrings attached to steels, in gowns, should be untied. Tissue pane should be placed between the folds of good dresses, and aieu, ever passementerie or je trimming. Thii lessens the danger o creating, and keeps dust and lint from set tling there. Drees waiiti should be laid smoothly in long shirt boxes. All the collars, laoe rucbings, ribbons and handkerchiefs should be placed in pasteboard boxes, an< packed wilh clothing on each sids so a* to keep them steady. Hats and bonnets are the most difficult to ui%nage, unless there are special com ;>artments for them, and of theee there are never enough. They should be wrapped each alone, tu tissue paper, and then covered wilh stiff brown paper, which should be pinned firmly around them They shonll then be placed ir. boxes jnat arga enough to hold them and packed in ibe middle of tbe trunk, where they can M held steady by the clothing around them. Do not place yonr jswelry and money ia your trunk. A far belter plan ii lo make a sioni bag of chamois skin, place yonr valuables in il, and fasten it securely inside yonr dress waist or any other portion ol >our attire most convenient. Above all do not place your valuables in a handbag so that yon will lay il down on Ihe oar seat or hotel table, and lease it there to be lost orever All garment! that are liable to crashing should be placed at the very lop of Ihe nppermoet compartment, and it they are carefully laid, they will be subjected lo but nils pressure. It you are going to a place remote from drug stores, or where Ihs services of a phy eician will be hard lo arcura, il is beat to irovide yoarsslf wilh a few simple rente lies, lest you may suffer under some emergency. A bottle of Jamaica ginger, .'ond's rBlraot of hamamelis, some camphor, some prepared milliard plasters nd a few soft cloths for impromptu Mtndagra would be useful companions when away from home. Some of year favorite toilet soap will ake the place of Ihe bad- smelling stuff so ifti'ii found in the hotel toilet rooms. Tha bottles should be plainly labelled, firmly orked. wrapped first in cotton balling, and Ihen in paper and placed in boxes, nk and shoe polish should never be >acked in a trunk. Il ia belter to buy noh things when you arrivs at yonr jour .< \ ' end. If you are packing for children, be inre remember their little playthings. Make a place for doliie and her wardrobe, pack a mall box wilh odds snd ends of itlk and ardboard, embroiderv needles, transfer lictnree, scrap liook and other things, so 'inall in year estimation, so necessary to heir happiness. When ths little creatures are taken away rom their familiar surroundings, and leprlved of the toys and games they love, t ii no wonder that they get into mischief and are a nuisance to all about. In abort, t ii in packing a trunk, as in everything ties. II requires thonghtfulneee, good ndgment, unselfishness, and a sincere lesira lo oblige others to make your work a uooeee. MIII. si,,. .

Hs standa in the cantre of a monster crater perhaps tbe giant crater from which poured the fiercest torrent of all the torrents of molten lava that awajpi over the country. Tha ttTaots of that tremendous effort are seen upon tha rocks, many ol which are still red from the furnace heat to which they were once subjected. Boulders of lava, twisted and knotted by flame, hang from tbe perpendicular walk and seem to thunder down opon the 1,100 feel of porous fragments which form tha inches from the trail to tbe bottom of the) basin. In other places in tbe towering walla whioh surround thn blighted hole the dames of that prehistoric upheaval made caverns and chasms actually ass) their way into the rocks in their wild fnry to join in the devilish orgy outside.
