Leaving our buckboard and four horses tied to a tree, we started after the noble game, quickly soloct~ ing a fine-looking bull, which we cut out of the herd and chased on foot as well as we could. Owing to the rough character of the ground, my brother and I soon became separated.

I am young and rich, and “pretty,” as old Mollie says. The name of Lisle “'arburton shall make a sensation yet in the great world of fashion which my aunts think oulya little less hope- lessly given over to perdition than the lower regions themselves! “ Errol], this is my little friend, Lisle Warburton."

Mother, where did you findthis Dresden prejudiced old people think of her ; she has told me so a hundred times.” “ I must renew my acquaintance with this friend of yours,” Erroll laughs, knock- ing the ash off his cigar. “ She must be something out of the common to have won such a warm little partisan." “ I wish Mrs. Ilutherfurd would ask her to Velfry l” I exclaim impetuously. “If she took her up a little, my auntsâ€"and other poo plcâ€"could soon follow her example." " Miss Irving used to come here occasion- ally before I went to China. Does she never come now 2" “ She has never been here since I came to Osicrbrook, at all events." “ You might persuade my mother to ask her perhaps. She would do a great deal to please you." “ She is very good to me," I answer, smiling. “ But I wonder why she never asks Judith here now 2" “ I will tell you what I think," lrroll returns gravely. “ I fancy my mother had an idea that Miss irving was setting her cap at my brother Ralphâ€"at least I thought so before I went toffihina three yours ago. And, as I suppose you are aware that no mother ever thinks any girl good enough for her son, my respected parent discour- aged Miss Judith's visits to Vclfry. That at least is the only solution I can find for the amusements of each day with but one aim in viewâ€"that Ezroll and I shall enjoy them together. Mr. Rutherford very seldom joins us, or takes part in any out rtainment that may be going on at V elfry. I see him at break- fast and dinner, and occasional yin the, drawing-room after dinner, but seldom at any other time. He appears to be a grave, reserved kind of man, and, whether he is still fretting for his young wife, or whether such things possess no interest for him, eschews our boating and tennis parties with a persistence which amusss his younger brother. “Ralph is turning into a regular oddity l" he laughs, on one of thl se occasions. “ I think we must ask Miss Irving to Vclfry to rouse him out of his apathy." “ I wish we could," I answer, sighiug. I ave not seen Judith for six days, and, not- withstanding my new delicious sense of hap- piness, I pine for a glimpse of my friend. “ Next time you come, We must manage it," Errol] says good-naturedly. “’8 are following the rest of the party down through the pleasure-grounds to the river, Errol! in white flannel bunting cos- tume, I in a pretty serge dress turned up with my favorite light blue. “'8 are going to rowlourselves down to an island where there are the ruins of an old abbey ; the servants have gone before with our luncheon.

I have known Miss Irving longer than I have known you, and does that. make me like her better 2" “ Perhaps you do like her butler l" “ Lisle l" I smile, but will not look at him, thoughI know he is looking at me, “ You are the most horrid little girl I ever met 2" “ I am sorry you think so.” " But I don’t think so, fortunately.

Erroll never finishes his sentence ; but “ A word can bring the colour to my cheek ; A word can fill my eyes with happy dew." Erroll loves me and I love him. The thought makes me intolerany happyâ€"so happy thatl hear and see everything like one in a dreamâ€"the laughter, the blue sky, the broad shining river, the happy faces, the crowded boat, the green island, with its hoary ruin standing up fair and solemn against the faint blue of the summer sky. Whenever I can do so unobserved by the others, I steal a glance at Erroll. He looks so handsome in his white dress, with his gay sunburnt face and fair curled hair hanging about his forehead as he pulls the heavy boatâ€"barebeaded, his alcoves rolled up to his elbows, his blue eyes laughing at me. An hour or two later I find myself sitting beside him on the edge of the stream where it runs narrowly between the mainland and the island, brown and foaming over lichenad that are forthcoming of the others, camped tw. on them. The situation looked critical, in a sunny hollow under the ruins. And I feel happier than ever, find more than ever inclined to look upon it all as a dream from which I must some tine aerkenâ€"such pas- sionate happiness cannot be meantfio last ! l But, if it does last, how can people call this and Imadc the most haste possible to render what assistanceI could to my fleeing brother. Before I could approach near enough to get a shot at the shaggy pursuer, Frank suddcu ly disappeared in the mouth of a large cave, with the buffalo following a good second. Their disappearance lasted but for a few minutes. Just as I got opposite the cave the frightened beast emerged, and with a loud bellow plunged for the creek beyond, and, what, was the most wonderful, Frank was seated on the back of the buffalo, with both bands enmeshed in his shaggy hair, holding on as for dour life, with blanched face and eyes starting from their sockets. The mad plunges of the beast, accompanied by its terrific roars, were perfectly frightful. Passing down the back, it plunged into the stream, partly waded and partly swam across, than, rushing up the bank on the opposite side, through a clump of scrub Ioaks and willows, succeeded in dislodging and landing him, bruised and bleeding, in ‘ a miserable world? One such hour as this, I I think, could make my whole life sweet. “'0 finish the evening with a dance at l Velfry, at which Mr. Rutherfurd puts in an appearance, though he does not dance.

A machine has been invented which wraps up oranges in tissue paper more orally and rapidly than it can be done by hand. liard maple placed on end is from four in five times as durable as maple, and equid- ly as durable as the hardest baked tilc. Ind-wood flooring can be produced with as finely finished surface as that made on the side of the grain. An ordinary looking cans of very pechliur construction has been invcutod by in Madrid man. It contains a complete set of topo- graphical aud telegraphic instruments, is beli- ograpll and a lantern. It is intended for the use of engineers in the army service. ' Impermcablc floors are now regarded an indispensable in houses constructed on by. gieuic principles. They must be so treated that the wood cannot absorb moisture: rough places must be made smooth, luld such cracks or depressions as give rise to the smallest accumulations of dust are not per- missiblo. A vegetable mother, said to be fully (qua! to the animal product, is made in Paris from guita porclul, sulphur, rruv (ration, rim: white, kolkotllar, and oxide of antimony. The first two ingredients “are necessary, while thc other parts may be replaced by chemicals of similar character. The propor- tions are varied witthlla purposes. An English paper suggests that " if a man wants a carriage or implement photo. graphed so as to make a working copy to scale, all that is necessary is, when the plloto is being taken, that afclcar and distinct three fool: rule be placed on the carriage ; this is photographed along with the carriage, and no matter what tho size of the print or neg- ative, will always zbc a true scale. It on- largcs and diminishes in exactly the same proportion as the carriage. In certain French steel works a workman in cutting fiftcen-inch Lfiles uses a hammer weighing seven and sevcn~tonths pounds and wears out a handle of holly Wood in about one year, after having struck about “3:30, 000 blows with the hammer. In cutting triangular files about five inches long, and in metal somewhat softer than the above, the hammer used weighs two and two-tenths pounds and tho holly handle lasts about two years, and has been used in striking 25,440, 000 blows. This is another instance of the constant, but longjcontinuod, drooping that is said to wear away stones. A correspondent of a mechanical pup-r says: “ I have had great trouble In procur- ing s. small loose pulley that would stand running at s. blgll rate of speed with a very tight belt.

It requires very little all. An iron ore boulder that had been on ex- bibilion for some time In the Louisiana Ill:- partmcnt of the Exposition at Now ()rlnns, was smelteri the other day at a foundry in that city after being broken up. The lump, which Weighed about 350 lbs, WM Ilillkrll up on the surface of the ground in (llair- borne Parish in the northwestern motion of the State, and in a county that appears to have been upbeavad by volcanic action. Upon being reduced the specimen referred to yielded about 50 per rout. of pure metal- lic: iron, report say, free from sulphur. As the supply of the ore is practically inex- haustible, Louisiana, it seems, will soon be ranked among the iron producing fit-tell. Religion and Flies.
