I wish Tom was here to go With me.“ Buttoniiig his coat acrou his chest, the stooping and weather-beaten, but still hale old man picked up his ivory-handled stick, and takin 1 leave of me, marched from the room. I !heard him pass through the outer office and into the street, as aclattcring of a horse’s lioofs smote my cam. Raising my eyes from the musty aw tome into which I had been diving in search of un abstruse point of law that. was puzzling my brains, I saw, through the window, that the horseman was young Tom -Atlicling on his roan mare. He stopped when he saw his father ; and the old man stood on the side-path talking to his son as, with one hand, he patted \Vheat- car’s graceful, glossy neck. The Squire was in a. Dad humour, for lie was pleased with liimsc f ; and as he laughed at some joke that Tom appeared to be telling him, a look of paternal ride and, perciianee, affectionâ€"for even the iardest shell may hold a sweet ker- nelâ€"lighted up the harsh lines and curves of his astute, hard-featured countenance. The cackling sounds of his chuckling laugh, mingling with the merry peul of Tom’s full- toncd joyous voice, reached me as I- sat watching them. Just at that moment the solitar ' “fly” that the village possessed, drove by. It had but one occupant, a lady, dressed in the deepest mourning. She raised her veil us she passed, and I saw that her face was wondrous] fair and beautiful. “Madame Favrc!" exclaimed to myself, as she inclined her head gracefullyto the Squire, who eagerly responded to the saluta- tion. “'ith gciitlciiiniily courtesyâ€"although a stranger to licrâ€"Tom raised his hat, and met the tender, )lcndiiig glance of her who, pcrcliaiice, would prove his destiny, and seal his cartth career for good or ill, as the re- cord of fate might have decreed for the house of Atlicliiig. CHAPTER. II. To explain a romance of which I believed Tom to be the hero, it is necessary to dip into the archives of the past. \thn Tom was about to enter his teens, a widow lady and her only child, a daughter of about eight or nine years of age, came to reside in a small house named Rosebnuk Cottage belonging to me that stood about a mile from the entrance to Atlieliiig I’m-k. They were evidently in oor circumstances, and the small rose-cm- owcred cottage had apparently been chosen more on the ground 0 economy than as a desirable residence ; for although picturesque in appearance, it was very lonely, being situated some distance from the village, and also away from the high-road. They appear- ed, liowevcr, to live very happily; and a friendship was soon established etwcen the pretty little black-eyed, gipsy-lookiiig bru- nette and Master Tom, who was in the habit of riding in that direction to and from the school at the neighbouring market-town where he was being educated. Many a half- liour did he leiter away, while his pretty little playfullow liadn scnmper on his pony’s back, liccdless of the flight of time and the iiiastcr’s oiiiinous frown and threatened birch; and amply rewarded by awakening the saucy, happy laugh of enjoyment tliut rang so joyously from his little comrade’s lips. and her mother’s pleased words of thanks ds she saw the bright looks and rosy- tintcd checks of her darling. Time crept on, and Tom returned from college to find his little child-mute, Jessica, a beautiful young woman, in whose presence he felt as shy as she apparently felt bashful in his. But he was pained by the altered looks of the mother ; and his dire apprehen- sions of an approaching calamity soon re- ceived a fatal confirmation. Before many inoiitlisliad passed, Death had claimed her, and Jessica was now an orphan. Her only relatives were some friends of her mother's who resided in Paris. They came forward in her trouble, and gcncrousl ' offered her an asylum with them ; which .' cssica tliniik- fullyacccpted. The evening before her dc- purtui‘c, I was returning from a day‘s shoot- ing, through a small wood near Itosebnnk Cotzwe. As I approached the house, the clouds rolled from the front of the moon, and before me I saw Tom Atlieling. Poor little Jessica. was clinging to liiui, and tears were Ilistciiiug on her pretty checks as he liclfl her to him. Then, as his lovc-euraptiii'ed face was pressed to hers, I slowly retmccd my steps, and sought an- other and more distant path, rather than break rudely upon their liapp ' young dream. My withered old heart ind once known its romance, and the mystic melody was ever ready to sound at the touch of sympathy. To return to my narrative. The next iiiorning,nftcrMadame anrc‘s arrival, I was sitting in my office, expecting a visit from the Squire, who had made an appointment with me about some matters relating to one of his leases, when a messenger arrived from the llall, asking me to go there, as the Master was prevented by a slight cold from coming tome. Several things detained me during the morning, and it was not tillufter luncheon that l was free to attend to the mea- sa v . ' Vlicii I arrived at the Hall, I was at once ushered into the pictuwsquo old diningroom. The remains of a mid-day meal were still on the table, at which Tom was sitting with an uiiwontcd flush on his handsome face. The Squire was also apparently labouring under some oxdtenumt, for his brow was knit, and his mouth was twitching with Ominous portcnt. Yet. how well _thcir two figures matched with the appointments of the room! A wainscoting of richly carved oak covered the walls and the ceiling, which â€"-â€"with the upper half of the wninscuting-- was divided into panels, on which had been painted a scricsuf pictures of the chase : the aged-blackened wood, with its elaborate carvings of fruit and flowers and trophies of the hunt, formingnrich and unintlyfautns- tics! frame to cth time-incl owed a imcn oi the pointcr's skill. Tom, with his stal- wart form clad in the hunter's pink, looked as if he had stepped forth from one of the pictures: and his father's thin, spare. but I ignificd fi-vurc, as he leaned forward in his large, rdd-fmliionml chair, and with a back velvet skullâ€"cap crowning his snowy hair. but added to the completeness of the scene. " Perhaps you may be able to instil a little sense into this son of mine." the old man be gan, as I entered. l was about to make a reassuring reply. for I could perceive that l was approaching tmuhled waters, when Tom interposed. " Had we not better stop the discussion. father?" he said in aquiet tone. “Stop it!

His father interrupted him impatiently. “Tush, boy I" he cried, stampiugliis stick angrily on the ground ; “ you ve told inc a cock-ambbull storyâ€"some entanglement that yxou have got into with some wretched girl. at what do I care for that? Woollaston, I damay, will soon make that straight for you ; for I'll be bound she's no better than she ought to be." The hot blood rushed over the young man's face at the insult implied by his father's words and tone, as he brought his clenched list down on the table with a ring- ing blow that made the china and glass shiver and dance. “Father,” he cried in passionate angry tones, “how dare you utter such an unfounded slander ! I will not listen to such wordsâ€"not even from you. That wretched girl, as you call her, is as sacred to me as if she already were my wife, which she shall be before many weeks have passed over my head. so help me” â€" “ Hush l" I cried, as I stayed the utter- ance of the holy mime that was on his lips. “Not that, my boy.~â€"Be calm. Remember that you are speaking to your father.” “Ayâ€"and he shall remember it,” came r’om the Squire’s thin bloodless lips. as he turned his cold gray eyes on his angry son. “ Begoue, sir, from my presence ! of mineâ€"though he be but my only oneâ€" shall use such language to me with impuni- It is an cos ' matter enough to format the weather like ‘rofossor Tice and Mr. Veuuer if people will only give their minds to it.

Almost unconsciously, I was cogi- toting in my mind a plan for the rcconciliu- I tion of father and son, when the Squire brought our discussion to a sudden cnd. “ There 2" he cried, tlizusting away from him a paper relating to one of his faim-lciiscs ; “ upon those terms. I will grant a renewal of the lease ; and if there is any objection to the increased rent, I shall have no difficulty in finding others who will accept my condi- tions." Feeling that the interview was at an end, I rose, and began puttin r on my gloves. Suddenly, the sound if w tools in the front of the house made the Squire turn to the window. My eyes followed the direction of his, and, as he held liimsclbback, I saw that it was Tom in the dog-cart, at the back of which were placed a big portiiiautcau and n railwnymug. A large and favourite retriever rushed out to follow him, and began barking and lcu ing about the horse's head. Tom leaned ( own from his seat and, affectionate- ly patting the animal‘s head, called to the groom to take him back to his kennel. The man having done so, returned; and then; with a gentle flick of the whip, the more started forward down the long clm~flunked drive that fronted the Hall; and still the old man stood watching the retreating fig- ures. After about a quarter of a mile, there was a bend in the avenue. As Tom reached it, he turned his face for a last look at the old roof-tree that had sheltered his ances- tors for so many by-gonc generations. The last rays of the setting sun played through the tall branches of the trees, and, as the discarded heir disappearixl from view, the bright rays faded, and the cold wintry wind, with a melancholy whistling sough, caught the last leaves of the dying Autumn, and sent them rustling and whirling to the ground. Did no tender feeling awake within tlic‘ father's breast as his boyâ€"his only childâ€"â€" wcnt from his sight? “'as it fancy ; or did the cold gray eyes glisten with a strange, unwonted emotion, as the sound of the dis- tant wheels died on our cars! “lie will come backâ€"and obedient to my wishes," murmured the now childlen father inn law and slightly husky voice. It seemed to me that the words were uttered more us a set~off of bravado for the temporary sofv teuing influence that had crept over their utterer, than because he had faith in them ; and as I niournfully wcndcd my way home- wards from the silent house. 1 ho I that. though the she I was very hard, in kernel might not he uite withered. and that there ini lht still lur' some sweetness in its shriâ€" vcl cd folds.

I was about half across the ring when I heard a growl, and looking around, saw to my horror one of the lions out of his cage and approaching me in a clenching manner, ready for a spring. I thought of a thousand things in a moâ€" ment, and among them I must have icgrctted pcrpctmting so many old worn-out jokes at be the pcrforinimcc that night.

Most any attractive little dumpling with n bri lit eye and coaxing voice can gather in a no lie husband, but it is pretty difficult to retain liim. Noble husbands are thicker than hair on a dog, but the gin d difficulty is to draw out their true nobility and secure it nt home. If the wife understands her business she the whole business. Most men like to be loved and soot-lied. There is something iii the man’s grcnt, rough, earnest nature that can be won quicker and easier with gentle- ness and pie than by the logic of the bi‘oom~ handle and ii. bilious course of reasoning with bread and milk diet. “’0 have seen u gi 1 who understood her business take a reformed road agent b the nose, so to speak, and lead him tliroug i life in such :1 Wu that he wouldn’t know but that lie was oss of the ranch.

A sentiment is growing up in favor of something more than the common school for the youth of America. Readin v, writing, and arithmetic are all very we l in their way, but they do not train the eye, cultivate the ear, or make the hand skilful in the use of tools. In this respect other nations are far ahead of the United States. In Ans. trslia there are over a thousand schools, four thousand two hundred teachers, and ninety- cight thouiand pupils in technical schools. Bavaria has one thousand siii hundred industrial schools for girls. In Denmark, France, and Germany, there are literally hundreds of thousands of boys and girls who are not only lming how to read and Write, but how to work with skillful hands under the inspiration of an artistic education. Americans are very clever and intelligent, lbut the foundations of a technical education in this country have to be picked up. they on: not tau lit. In other words. the number of unskilla laborers in the United States is far greater than in any other country. We have some few agricultural colleges, and a technological institute in Boston. Coo ier Institute in New York has its value a , But we are far, very far behind nations like Switwrland and Bavaria. This is a matter which should be considered in all the school districts of the United States. 0â€"”. l i t Phosphate link!!- i Mr. Jmutet.
