The dimples came around Kate Marcy’s red lips, wreathing her smile in wondrous beauty. “ But, ” he pursued, looking her full in the face “ I cannot be satxsfied with that, Miss Marcy, I want a. warmer feeling. If you could teach yourself to love me ”â€" “ It was not meant for your ears, Mr. Emery,” said Kate, coloring a soft rosy pink. ‘Miss Marcy,” he said, “I heard what you said last night.” The next day Charley went boldly to the old Marcy homestead, whose red brick gables, sheeted with ivy, rose up out of the leafless eluls and beeches, just beyond the noise and stir of the busy village. “ who was that girl with the large blue eyes and the sweet face wrapped in a whlte, fleecy sort of hood-â€"the one who said she respected you 2” " It was Kate Marcy, motlwr.” “She has the face 0L an angel," said Mrs. Emery softly, “Charley,” said little Mrs. Emery, looking into her son’s face as they emerged into the vail of softly falling snow which seemed to enwrap the whole outer world in a. dim, dazzling mystery, For a. moment only. The crowd separated them almost ere they could recognize one anothex; but Kate telt snreâ€"-and her cheek glowed scarletâ€" that he heard her words. And, almost at the same second, she found herself looking dlrectly into Charley’s eyes. Kate said nothing. In the crowd now surging out of the aisles of the little opera house she could scarcely venture to express her entire opinion, but she said in a low, earnest tone,â€" “ I don’t know what you think of it, Nina. 3 but I. for my part, respect Mr. Emery a tfiouscmd times more for In: kindness to his mot/zen” Never was voiCe sweeter to her ears than the somewhat thin and exhausted warble of the primal a’omza ; never did scenery glow with such natural tints or footlights shine more softly. Kate Marcy declared that the opera was “perfection .r’" “ Yes ; out,” said pert little Nina Cummings, “do look at Charley Emery with that little old woman ! \Vhy couldn’t be have come and sat with us?’ Then Kate's overgloomed face grew bright again She drew a long breath of relief and turned to the stage: it was as if the myriad gaslights had all of a sudden been turned up, as if all the mimic world in the opera house had grown radiant, And she kept within her own soul the jealousy that disturbed her all the while she was sitting waitEng for the great green curtain to be drawn up, until, of a sudden, there was a slight bustle on the row of seats beyond, and Emery entered 20127: My mot/zen “ Gama wit/z 567716 one else /” she re- 0 peated. “ \Vell, he has a right to suit himself.” “ Going wet/z some one else J” said Kate Marcy, rather surprised and not exactly pleased. She was a. tall, beautiful maiden, the hello of Câ€"-â€", and rather an heiress in her own right. She liked Charles Emery, and she rather surmised that he liked her. And when she had been studying up her toi;et for the opera, she had selected a blue dress, with blue flowers for her hair and ornaments of turquoise, because she had once heard Mr. Emery say that blue was his favorite color. And then Charles Emery made up his mmd that; his mother Was more to him, in her helpless old age and sweet affectionate dependence, than any blooming damsel whose eyes shone like stars and whose cheeks rivalled the September peach. “I have been trimming my bonnet laver with some violet-velvet flowers,” said she, smiling, “ so as to do you no discredit, Charley; and I have a. new Dnir of violet kid gloves.

Helms whispered through the keyhole that he will make the reward £500 if some- body will only let him out. He has con- vinced everybody that it is the safest safe ever invented. Fears are entertained that the whole concern will have to be melted down in the furnace before he is released and efforts are to be made to pass in through the keyhole a fireproof~jacket, to protect the: inventor while the iron is melting.

To convince the incredulous of the fact, he placed a $500 note in his pocket, had himself locked in the safe, with a liberal supply of provisions, and the key cast into the river, declaring that he wouH give the money to the man who unfastened the door. During dark times the eye is resting. It will be noticed that when there is not sufficient light the pupil of the eye dilates to catch sufficient rays. From this we learn that the eye is less injured by trying to gather sufficient rays in a mild light than by being overpowered with the rays of too much heat. To preserve the eyes during evening work or in a. dark place in the day time use a. mild or modified light â€"one candle powerâ€"at a distance of three feet is quite strong enough. By this means the eyes will retain their power much better than with a. strong light. This is an erroneous practice. Artificial light has not enough of the mild colours in it and too much heat, and when re- flected from paper injures the eye. It is a mistake to assist the eye too much With artificial ligh t. Too strong alight is simply a bad habit. Darkness is a nature] and necessary conditicn of the human eye. It is generally supposed that an artificial light should be strong. Whether at night or in dark rooms during the day a glaring light is cast on the paper and there is fre- quently a. shade over the eyes.

LONDON, March 14~.â€"-The report of the official receiver of the estates of the dissolute Marquis of Ailesbury made to the Court of Bankruptcy today shows that the total liabilities of the gay young nobleman are £345,462, of which £244,- 211 is unsecured. The assets are the l life interest of the Marquis in t1 e es- tates and other property, the value of which has not been ascertained. Lord lAilesbury was not present during the proceedings, which in fact are far more interesting to his creditOrs than to him self.
