Here was a royal type of beauty, and it was no wonder man loved her so madly. Geoffrey Brandon eyed her narrowly, and there crept over his handsome face a look of admiration, which the crirl was not slow to perceive, and the disdainful oiurve of her perfect lip rounded into a sunny smite, as she saia: "But why should We quarrel about her, Cousin Geoffrey? Suffering or not, she is as haughty in her low posi­ tion as she was when she was the mis- tre;s,<rf half a million, and I do not care to encounter her insolent pride again, even at your special request, my friend. No doubt some of her many admirers will assist her, so why should I trouble myself?" "Yea; was it not dreadful! After1 that, of course, X would have scorned hia help, as I told him, on your behalf. But, fortunately, I knew of this Mrs. Hareonr.-, who wants a governess at onee, to go abroad with hi*, so I went to her without dday, reoottxmendeil yon as you deserved, satisfied all her "5 eoxioN sants. < And Who Ftret Said Them. r Many of our common payings, so trite and pithy, are used without the least idea from whose month or mm. ttoqr fit* originated. Probably the ^ t works of Shakapeare furnish us wtth scruples, and you are to go to her this ! of thcw hnlbr maxima than any very evening, and the day after to-mor- : ™ ^ 18 row you will sail for Italy." J ^ fr* Setters, Mrke a virtue The lovely, flower-like face, drooping I neeeasity, Bcrew your oourage to beneath her words, as from a cruel fee sticking j>laea ^ (not point), l-hgy iOUBa* as from a ife blow, stirred no throb of pity in Hilda's ' 4 ^ fake heart, though her voice assumed a more tender tone m slie oontiAued: " So you must cheer up, dear, and look life bravely in the faoe again Once away from this horrid its thousand cruel tongues, you will for­ get yonr trouble, and, with your beauty and pride, you will win 'Hie heart of some rich foreigner or other. Good- by." And the traitress stooped and kissed her. Christine took the situation offered her, and entered on her duties with an aching heart, at the very hour when Geoffrey, his breast burning with ten­ der love, was hastening toward her humble home, determined to put his fate to the test, and ask her to be hie wife. Urgent business had taken him from town immediately after hie interview with Hilda, and she had time to mature her plan, and to see it accomplished, bo- fore his return. His surprise and chagrin may be im­ agined when he found her gone, and all his inquiries could elicit no information about her. At last, in despair, he resorted to Hilda. 4 - " Do you know what has become of Miss Verne?" She arched her brows. "How should I, not having yonr in­ terest in her welfare? Should I repeat what rumor sa\ s, I should almost fear you would slay me," and she shrugged her graceful sboulders provokingly. J*Tell me what you have heard, said sternly, with compressed lips. "Only that she and Signor Haccioi, her old music master, who was always such an ardent admirer of hers, in spite of pretty little Mistress Kuccini and the three babies, disappeared from the city on the same day, and some gentle he Hilda De Vere loved the noble man \ man» is nameless, saw two persons, before her with all the power she pos­ sessed of loving anything beyond her­ self; and, had she known how her List cruel words struck to his heart, she would have left them unuttered. SJie ..saw she vhad made » mistake when he said, coldly: "As you choose. I came to you with Tber story of distress, for I thought you had a tender heart, and I felt I had some claims on my cousin's generosity when I was pleading the cause of so old and tried a friend of hers as Christine Verne. I see my error, and will not detain you longer." He bowed, and was about to with­ draw, but Hilda, with a mighty effort, curbed her rising anger, and, hastening after him, laid one exquisite hand on his arm, aud said, pleadingly, with lovely eyes misty with tears: " You are angry with me, Geoffrey. What will become of me without your love and sympathy?' Such a perfect picture as she made, with her blue velvet dress sweeping around her graceful form, and her beautiful face, like a grieved child's, raised to his. - She knew her power, and was not sur­ prised at the softening expression in his "eyes, as he answered: " 1 am more grieved than angry, Hilda. JTou loved Christine Verne once, and were untiring in your offers of friend­ ship when she had but slight need of them. Now, when she is in poverty and disgrace, through no fault of her own, and you have in your power to aid her, you refuse. "Why will you not give her this position of governess for your little sisters, when you know how noble *«nd worthy she is? Cousin Hilda, re­ consider your decision, and for my sake givch^rthe aidonetrue woman has the right t* expect from another." His lumkome. jsyes wore a look of earnest pMiii&g, which Hilda would have found it hard io mist^ hau her sympathy been asked for any othdr per­ son than Christine Verne. Bitk, as it was, a hard, determined look settled over her face, obliterating all its lines of soft beauty, as she listened to the thrill of tenderness ill his voice. She had humbled herself to him, and this was the result--to hear him plead, with all the eloquence he possessed, the cause of the one woman she hated, the one rival she feared, and in "whose downfall she triumphed. "If jou force the truth from me, Geoffrey, here it is! I believe Chris­ tine Verne Id as vile as her miserable uncle, whose name is now the talk of the town. I would no more have her in my ho»ise than I would the veriest vagabond in the street. If her story so moves yon with compassion," and her red lip curled into a sneering smile,, "why not go and offer#her the consolation of yonr looe, and the shciifr of yonr home? No doubt the would gladly accept both, as she has so long bee a trying her arts to win you!" "May God forgive you, Hilda, for your cruel, unjust words! Would that I were ^worthy of her love, or had a ^iope that she would listen to me. I would go to her this hour, and ask her! --t%be my wife! Your heartless words against her have opened my eyes, and now I know she is the only woman I have ever loved. Good-by! * And Hilda knew, as she heard him going dovn the steps, that her princely cousin was lost to her forever. She clenched her dainty hands, and muttered, wrathfully: "But he shall never many her! I •jyill take care that she does not cross his path again." , An hour later, when Ohristine Verne, in her humble abode, with her pure, proud face wearing a look of pitiful an­ guish, heard Hilda's soft, sympathetic voice breathing in her ear a plan of es- beariug a striking resemblance to the runaways, walking, arm-in-arm, in a most confidential manner, in Brighton, yesterday morning." "A foul, base slander! Who was the man who dared say this thing? He shall retract his false words, or die!" Hilda laughed musically. "I said he was nameless. As I hive told you all I know on the subject, sup­ pose we select a more pleasant theme of conversation. Did you have a pleasant trip to Manchester? And all of Geoffrey's inquiries could elicit ho further information about the woman he loved. At last he fell into a settled gloom, and went abroad to seek relief in change and travel. And Miss Verne, the governess, after the first strangeness of her position wore off, took up the burden of life again with a brave spirit. Her little charges soon learned to love her, and, being a true woman, her loving heart went out to them in deep tenderness, and she daily thanked Hilda De Vere's kindness in obtaining for her the posi­ tion she occupied. But there was one drop of wormwood which time seemed powerless to soften. That Geoffrey Brandon, the man to whom she had given her heart in those dear old days--whose look, tone and manner had so often told her she was beloved of him-- should have turned against her in her sore distress and trouble, should even have doubted her honesty, was a blow hard to bear. Doubtless, ere this, dear Hilda was his wife, and even the pain of his cruel treachery grew less sharp as the months rolled away in beautiful Italy, and she was permitted to bask in the glory of that wonderful land. Until, one day, in apiottire gallery in Rome, she met him face to faoe. She tried to escape him, but his eager gaze had fastened upon her love­ ly features in a very rapture of delight­ ed surprise, and, unmindful of the two children by her side, he caught her hands and asked, in that thrilling tone she *o well remembered: "Miss Verne I Christine 1 How hap­ py I am to find yon! Where have you hidden yourself all these weary months?" He would have drawn her arm through his, but she drew berself i haughtily away, and answered, icily: I * Thank you, Mr. Brandon. I have purposely kept my residence a mys- I tery from one whose doubts of my in- i tegrity convinced me that he oould have no possible interest in my welfare. Good-by 1" She turned away, but he caught her hand. " Christine, what does this mean? Do you not know that Hove yon better than life? Did you not read the truth in the old swees time, when nothing but the fear of my own unworthiness kept the avowal from my lips? Dear- <st, dearest, do not turn away! Mine, at least has been th 3 one loyal heart. Surely such love as mine deserves a better response than scorn!" And, in spito of the two curious children, and the stray visitors that flitted through the gailery, the truth came out at last, and Geoffrey learned the pertidy of Hilda De Vere's heart, and Geoffrey Brandon blessed the mis­ take that gave him his brido at last. Hilda never met her beautiful rival again, for she married a tick old banker, and went to Bristol to live, be­ fore Christine crossed the channel once more as the honored wife of the man they both loved. laagh that win," "This is the short long of it," "Comparisons axe odi "A* merry as the day is long," "A Daniel come to judgment," "Frailty, thy $ame is woman," and a host of others.

Franklin said, " God helps them who help them- fcelvef," and Lawivnoe Sterne comforts us with the thought, " God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." Even some of the H slang" phrases of the day have a legitimate origin. " Pot ting your foot in it" is certainly not a very elegant mode of expression, but, according to the Asiatic Researches, it is quite a hue p tint of law; when the title to land is disputed in Hindoostan, two holes are dug in the ground and used to incase a limb of each lawyer (?), and the one who tired first lost his cli­ ent's case. Fancy, if you can, some of our famous " limbs of the law" plead­ ing in such a manner! It is generally the client who " puts his foot in it." When things are in disorder they are often said to be turned topsy-turvy; this expression is derived from the way in which turf used for fuel is placed to dry, the turf being turned downward; and the expression then means top-side turf-way. Plutarch, in his life of Argesilens, King of Sparta, gives us the origin o! a quaint ana familiar expression. On a certain occasion an Ambassador fzoxa Epirus, on a diplomatic mission, was shown Uy the King over his capi­ tal. The Ambassador knew of the mcn- aicli's fame--knew that though only nominally King of Sparta, he was ytt ruler of Greece--and he had looked %o see massive walls rearing aloft their em­ battled towers for the defense of the town; but he found nothing of the kind. He marveled much at this, and spoke of it to the King. "Sire, ' he sai<i, "I have visited most of the principal towns, and I find no walls reared (or defense. How is this?" "Indeed, Sir Ambassador," replied Argesileus, "thou oanst not have looked carefully. Come with me to-morrow morning, snd I will show yon the walls of Sparta." Accordingly on the following morn­ ing the King led his guest out upon the plains wherB his army was dra vn up in full battle array, and, pointing proudly to the serried host, he said: "There, thou beholde«t the walls of Sparta--10,000 men, and every man a brick!' get oat trial, in taftt 1 No data is j "The Hand at w. at a first I of an hour, j _ totWfallowing case:! was put by Sir William Windsor, to!

Among the tricks of the Dublin back was this: One of them would take his stand in the middle of a crossing on a dirty day, and, drawing his sword, thrust everybody who wanted to pass into the mud. It was a common thing to see half a dozen or more of these un­ pleasant sentries lining a leading thor­ oughfare all ready to afford each other support. Nor were they content with merely obstructing the passage.
