Mr. \Vinstuiley came back the next day, bringing with himncws that ve the greatâ€" est pleasure to every one at ‘astle Ettrick. Perv had obtained his exchange. The regi- ment to which he was now attacked had its head-quarters, for the moment, at Edin- burgh. He had joined at once, and there could be no reasonable doubt that he would soon obtain further leave. For the few da 3 of Percy’s absenceâ€"a. circumstance whic naturally strengthened Lady Flora's view about the true point of attraction at Castle Ettrickâ€"there was less ’ intercourse between the Castle and farm than there had been. Both houses were busy preparing for the company of shooting visitors, who were to arrive on the twelfth and this, no doubt, was one reason for the change. But Janet, who rode over alone one afternoon, to take a message from her father to Mr. Winstanley, told Lady Flam that Veronica. did not seem so well or so bright as usual. “ We are a little puzzled about her,†she said. “ Mother thinks the air may be too strong for her. But I can’t believe it is that. †“ Oh ! no : not at all likely. \Vhen did the air of the moors ever do harm to any one? and you are sheltered at Deep Deane,†said Lady Flora. “ Persuude Miss Browne to come over to me, and we will cheer her up.†Janet did not answer that it was pre- cisely to Castle Ettrick that Veronica refus- ed to come. Shs thanked Lady Flora, and promised to take her message. \thn she reached home, she found that Veronica’s depression had gone, and that she had made up her mind to ride over to Castle. Ettrick on Brown Bess the following ( My. “ I met the school-room party out on the moor,†she said : “ Milly I mean, and her pretty governess ; and your gallant old soldier, Colonel Lyndon, was strolling about with them, and they all pressed me so warm- ly to go over that I could not resist. Will you come, Janet ? I think the colonel may ride out to meet us.†“Oh ! in that case I will stay at home. “'0 have about as much as we can get through before the twelfth,†said Janet. She was surprised by the change in Veronica, whom she began to think caprici- remarks. l’ercy was due at Castle Ettrick on the . ous ; but she thought it wiser to make no following afternoon, and we ollrtll. imagine" he does not deserve it in the least. But I am afraid we can't help it.†i her heart she thou ht the weakness ex- cusable, and believed t at Veronica thought the same. \Vho that was u nprejudiced could have felt differently? To see him standing thereâ€"â€"so bright, and handsome, and gay, a smile on his lips, and the light of happiness in his eyesâ€"even to see him was to love him. He was born to be loved ; he was born to be happy; he was born to make difficulties give way before him. So thought- Lady Flam on that summer dev when she welcomed her son home after his brief absence. Poor Lady Flora 3 And she was said to be one of the most capable and far-seeing women in London. “ 1 _would depend on my Wife’s judgment in an emergency soon- er than on my own,†her husband said, and there were many who agreed with him. Her judgment ! Ah ! how Love blinds us! and how sweet it is to close wide-awake eyes, and have them tenderly bound up by his subtle hand ! Lady Flora had no judg- ment where Percy was concerned, nor did she desire to have any. As for Veronica, she was touched and charmed by the happiness she witnessed Percy did not look ridiculous, as so many do when they are pant on pedestals by their partial friends. e was the kindest, as well as the handsomest, of young princes. If he had not been so young, and if another feeling had not taken possession of her heart, Veronica might have fallen in love with him that day. She had never seen himâ€"no one, perhaps, had ever seen himâ€"- at greater advantage. He had no little airs of superiority with his friends ; he accepted their kind speeches and the many small ser- vxces that were showered upon him with a. most charming grace. No one, not; eVen Milly, who hovered about him like a bee round a favourite flower, was told to let him alone and not make a fuss. Then he was perfectly frank about himself, concealing from npne of them his boyish delight at ï¬nding himseif at home again. Veronica, as she watched him and Milly together, thought that it would be one of the pleasantest things in the world to have a brother like Percy VVinstanley. She had two cavaliers to escort her across the moors that evening, for in spite of her protest, Percy, who declared that he was longing for a gallop, would persist in accom- panying them to Deep Deane. All the way over, his spirits were at their highest, and when, at the gates of the farmâ€"father than how pleased Lady Flora was with her gcod which Veronica refused to take themâ€"he colonel and her dear Letty when she heard that they had persuaded Miss Browne to ride over. ' “ We must do our best to keep her until Percy comes,†she said artfully. “ It would I never do for him to feel the house dull after having sacrificed so much to stay with us a little longer. Colonel Lyndon, I shall de- pend upon you.†“ We shall all exert ourselves,†said the ‘ colonel cheerfully. “ “'hat do you say, Miss Morrison ? will you do your part ‘2†“ Oh, yes, indeed I will,†said Letty. “ Veronica loves Letty,†cried Milly : _ “ she said so to me. I believe she would like to take her away from us." “ But there is no danger of any one - taking me away from you, Milly,"answered Letty with an affectionate smile at- her little ‘ pupil. ‘ “ We shall see ! we shall see 2†said Lady Flora. As for the colonel, he pulled his long moustache and said nothing. Letty contin- ued to be friendly and confidential towards him ; but he had not ventured yet to cross, 1 by the minutest point, the boundary that separates friend from lover. In spite of all Lady Flora could say to rc-assuro him, he l felt keenly the difference between them, and he feared to do or say anything that might. prevent her from looking upon him as a friend. t On the following day he rode out to Deep ? Donne early in the foreuoon, and found Miss Brow..c looking marvellously handsome and Cilpll'Ilt‘, in her close riding-dress. going over 2 Elle farm on horseback with General Mac- 5 {011310. The colonel was well mounted ; [Int his . horse was not so swift as Brown Bess, and ,1 once or twice, as they rode back to the Castle over the springy ground, she sho‘ on in front of him, and before, by coaxing and If gentle handling, Veronica could bring her back into line, he had time to admire the girl’s sent, her conru e, and the easy way in which she managed ier horse. They had a delightful ride to ether. The ooh ucl, who felt umiably disposed towards all the. world, and who was sntliciently inter- ested in Lady Flora's designs to wish to make the day at Castle Ettrick pleasant to 31le Browne, played his part well. She saw that be admired her horsemaus ship, felt his friendliness of manner, and hoped that he had forgotten her foolish mis- take of a few days before. Throughout that day Veronica was ami- able and expansive, full of bright spirits, which gushed out occassionnlly in little sal- lies of harmlessfuu,nnd more interested than cverâ€"-â€"so, at least, Lady Flora thoughtâ€"in Castle Ettrick and its inhabitants. No one had any dillicultyin persuading her to prolong her visit until after Percy’s arriv- l sl. He came sooner than he was expected, to the great rupture of the expectant house. Veronica was in the drawing-room, listening to some old mother's stories about Percy’s precocity as a child and smiability as amen, when be rushed in, radiant with health and recovered energy, to report himself to Lady ' Flora. They had purposely refrained from tellin him that Miss Browne was in the house, an it su- :ml like a nod omen to him tosee her sitting there, looking very much at home, as was her custom under every set of circum- stances. " This is an unexpected pleusure,â€hesaid, shaking hoods with her. “ Not tome," answered Veronica frankly. “ Then you knew I was coming 2" “ Know on were coming! How could I have helped it '3" said Veronicamisebievonm ly. “\ hen I rode over this morning the my windows seemed to blue with the news. ’ “ You must excuse us,†said Lady Flora, looking with tenderness at her darling. “It and the colonel bade her good evening, it Was with urgent entreaties that she would come over again soon. Veronica promised readily. “ Oh, yes ; you will see me again,†she said. “I am not tired of Scotland yet, and I delight in Castle Ettrick. But go home ; go home. I promised Lady Flora not to keep you late.†She turned from them, waved her hand, and put Brown Bess into a center ; and the colonel and Percy, seeing that she would not take them further, went back through the farm-gate, and up the valley. ' Silence had fallen upon them both. Percy was exhausted by the high spirits of the day, and was ina mood to be confiden tial, though he scarcely knew how to begin. The colonel was thinking of him, and thinking of him- self, and wondering, with a vague sense of uneasiness, whether everything would come right in the end. Further and further they went up the valley, pacing slowly, and still in perfect silence. They were out in the open now, and they stopped to look round them. The colours had faded from the west; in the “miraculous vault †overhead star after star came tremulously forth ; the silvery grey of twilight rested still upon the hills, and the yellow harvest moon, rising slowly over the level plain to the east, touched with pale gold the light clouds that lay sleeping in the silent heavens. Thedecp pathosâ€"the unspeakable mys- tery of the sceneâ€"tenched the hearts- of the two men. They were neither of them poets; they were men of action, to whom the ecstasy of silentmeditationwas unknown ; but Love, the magician, had laid his hand upon their lives, and, for once, they felt as poets feel the magic of the world. _ “ Colonel," said Percy, when they set out again, “ doesn‘t it make you feel rather queer '2" “ W hat, Foley ‘3†said the colonel, with a smile. “ \Vhyâ€" everything. It does me. '.But perhaps I am in a pecular state of mind.‘.†“ That is uncommonly likely, I should say."returned the colonel. Then you have guessed '2" l! “ My dear fellow, no one could look a you without knowing that you are in love. I have seen a good many in your condition,†said the colonel, with a laugh, “ but, upon my word, you are the most transparent sort of lover I ever met.†“ I - have been behaving like a foolâ€"a merry Andrew l" said I‘ercy hotly. “ Say so at once, Colonel Lyndon ! Say thstf have no more self-control than an infant ! It Would be the trutliâ€"â€"-â€"-" All at once he stopped, pulled up his horse, and stood listening. “ What is it ‘2" said the colonel. “ Did you hear nothtug 1’" “ Nothing whatever. hear 2†“ I fanciedâ€"~Ah ! there it is again !" In a momentâ€"before Colonel Lyndon un. derstood what had hap cuedâ€"Percy had set spurs to his horse, and) was tearing 'down into the valley again. “ Poor boy 3 he is off his headâ€"4 uite off his head," said the colonel to himsc f, as he followed him.

The result of the polling was a tie, and the two candidates then agreed to settle the matter by running a 200~yard foot race, the winner to get the oï¬ice. This was ac- cordingly done, and the beaten runner ac- cepted his fate gracefully.

" Nomi of St. Petersburg tells of an old “ towmnan" who, according to its judgment, is the most noteworthy traveler of the present time. D.‘ ‘ V. of Sitehevsk, l government of Smolensk, does not travel for l ame or towin a prize, but he makes long journeys on foot merely for the love of traveling. He is a sympathetic old man, a shoemaker, and of a very charitabls disposi- tion. For many years V. has made it his practice to start from home early in the sprin and to travel about in the country until ate in the autumn. He has covered many thousands of versts throughout the length and breadth of Smolensk and neigh- boring governments. He carries with him in a haudcart a change of clothing, a supply of provisions for two or three days, a little samovar (Russian tea kettle), and a few tin utensils. It makes no difference to him where night overtakes him, in the ï¬elds or in the forest : he quietly builds a little lire, prepares his modest meal, (11 inks a few cups of tea, and lies down to sleep until the morning wakes him. Rain does not dis- turb him ; he covers his wheelbarrow and himself with an oilcloah and travels on or sleeps peaceably, as the case may be. If he stays over night in a village, or makes a stop at a farmhouse, all the children he meets get little presents from himâ€"toys or pieces of sugar for which he has no special compartment in his vehicle. In September he returns home. The ï¬rst thing he does is to buy a number of sheepskins, which he works up into fur coats and gloves and dis- tributes among the poor peasants who have to chop wood in the forest for a living. \Vhen this is done he sits down at his cob- bler’s bench to “ work for himself.†He always gets plenty of work to do, and lays by during the autumn and winter as much as he needs for his travels in the fair seasons of the year. If he has more than he thinks he may need he gives it ‘away to poor pea- sants before he starts on his regular trip SIAM'S GEM MINES. some“ ‘- qite. â€"._Q~.-el"r A A Pretty Piece oral-laments!

Such climbers as the morning-glory, canary bird vine and other 20-footers are better left for unsightly fences 3 and buildings. Plants are better than seeds, 1 because more certain, and they do not take 3 so long to catch the knack of twining and' spreading. Umbrella ribs are not decorat- ed, and to see such an object standing there { week after week waiting for its clothes f does not give people a pleasant impression of a garden. But ï¬rst ï¬nd your umbrella, and this may not be soeasy, for “ retired†umbrellas that are no longer ï¬t for use are seldom seen. Some members ‘of the family, however, may be able to produce one, and then it should be immediately stripped of the few tatters left to it. The next step is to paint the frame and handle brown, and when quite dry plant the and! of th handle ï¬rmly in the ground, with the frame fully c ened. If the handle is rather short it will can improvement to add a piece of wood to it. . It is now ready for the vines, which should have made some progress in grow- ing ; and when they once begin to do their best, the old umbrella frame makes such a. l lovely green bower studded with blossoms ' of red or purple or whiteâ€"or all togethcrl if the vines are mixedâ€"that everyone ex~l claims over its beauty. " l A parasol with the same treatment is I equallypre'tty on a smaller scale, and it would be very ornamental in the center of a round bed edged with bright-colored phlox or candy-tuft. With a long~spouted watering pot the vines could have a daily drenching in warm weather, when the sun is not shining on them, from their roots to their highest green tips, and this would keep them fresh. What lIâ€"eIejis the Bicycle Upright? To persons of an enquiring turn of mind . Rubles and Supplilrcs in All the luggings the question has, no doubt, often come as â€"-llow They Are Mined. The gem mines of Siam are at Krung Krat and Phailin, points or districts depend- ent on the seaport of Chautabun. They are shortly to be leased ;but at present the only condition required for entering the mines is the payment of a small fee to the head man of the district. The digger’s ï¬rst object is to discover a layer of soft, yellowish sand, in which both rubies and sapphires are deposited. This stratum lies at depths varying from a, few inches to twenty feet, on a bed of subsoil in which no precious stones are found. A pit is dug, and. the earth removed is taken to a. neighboring canal or stream, where it is mixed with water and passed through an ordinary handsieve. In his search for this peculiar alluvial deposit which is generally free from any admixture of clayey earth, the digger has often to penetrate into the jungle that grows thickly around, and com~ bines the work of clearing with the occupa- tion of gem-digger. ' No sapphire has yet been extracted of higher value than about $1,400, or ruby of higher price than $4,800. No artiï¬cal or mechanical roccsses for washing the soil have so far een introduced. Rubies and sapphires are found at all the V ‘diggings, often deposited side by side, in the same layer or stratum of sand. The ru- bies are usually of a dull, light red hue. The sapphire is of a. dark, dull blue, with- out any of the silken gloss distinctive of the Burmal'. and Ceylon stones.

To this question Mr. Chas. B. \Varring, Ph. D., has given an answer in the Popular Science dIonthly for April. The usual explanation, that the upright position is due to rapid motion, to the action of the . centrifugal force, or to proper balancing on the part of the bicyclist, Mr. \Varring con- tends are inadequate. He refers to the well-known and clearly demonstrated phy- sical fact, that two forces acting at right angles to each other do not interfere, and ‘ holds that inasmuch as it is gravity which causes the riders to tilt over on the side to. wards which lie is leaning, and the gravity operates at right angles to the forward motion the latter will not prevent the bicyclist fnom falling. So, too, the centrifu- gal force can only operate when a deviation from a rightline takes place, as in rounding a corner or making a circle. As long as the ’cyclist moves in a straight line the centri- 1 fugal force cannot exert any influence ’ whatever. Nor is the upright position due to balancing, as is proved by the fact that if the handles be made immovable, so that neither of the wheelscan be turned to the right or left, it is impossible for any rider to keep from fallinguifter he once begins to tilt. Mr. \Varriug’s explanation is based on the physical fact that the equilibrium of a body which rests on two points of support, is maintained only so long as the centre of gravity passes through any point in the straight line which joins the points of sup- port. Thus, when a rider ï¬nds himself tilt.

Pliny mentions that, according to the his- torians of Alexander’s expedition, oysters a foot in diameter were found in the Indian Seas, and Sir James E. Tenncnt was unex- pectedly enabled to corroborate the correct- ness of this statement, for at Kottier,’near Trincomalec, enormous specimens of edible oysters were brought to the rest house. One measured more than eleven inches in length by half as many in width. But this extraordinary measurement is beaten by the oysters of Port Lincoln in South Australia, which are the largest ed- , ible ones in the world. They are as large as a dinner-plate, and of much the same shape. They are sometimes more than a foot across the shell. and the oyster ï¬ts his habitation lso well that he does not leave much mar- m. l g It is a new sensation when a friend asks I you to lunch, at Adelaide, to have one oyster fried in butter, or in eggs and breadcrumbs, set before you, but it is a very pleasant ex- erieuce ; for the flavor and delicacy of the art Lincoln mammoth are proverbial, even in that land of luxuries. ‘â€" An Actress Criticized to her Pace. A good story is told in the Stuttgart Nelle illusik-Zeftung concerning one of the most eminent German actresses and a theatrical critic, equally well known to fame. Anum- her of ladies and gentlemen were the other day travelling together in a railway carriage from Dresden and Leipzig. Only two of l tht did you the passengers knew each other,‘hrit the con- quarrel in a saloon, and though the murder- bility is secured by turning the wheel to the right or left whichever 'way the leaning is, and thus keeping the point of support under the rider.†It is the peculiarity of this solution as compared with the others that it is sufficient to account for the phenomenon which it undertakes to explain. That. it will render it any easier for beginners to acquire the art of riding the ticklish stood may be doubted, and in this respect the utility of the solution may be questioned. But as speculative knowledge has its use as well as knowledge that is strictly and purely , practical, many will thank thi = clever writer I for the light he has thrown upon the ques- i tion. “ what keeps the bicycle upright 2ԠThe discrepancy between preaching andl practice, so often found in the case of those who assume the role of moral reformers cannot be justly charged against .
