She has been married to Monsieur iliteen years. Once she had been young. but that was so long ago! She has forgotten all about it, and there are no children about her to renew the recollection. She had brought Monsieuravery lair dot. He was only a poor student when she married him. Their parents had arranged the marriage. and they had acquiesced.

He is seated at hie esoritoire. thinking deeply. it seems; he holds his pen poised in one hand. while his head is supported, with its weight oi thought, on the other. Madame is sitting by the window working. They have their backs to each other. It is four o'clock in the niternoon; a September sun is lighting up the room with oblique rays. casting e cheer- lnl glow ethwert this silent couple, as it charged with a daily entreaty that they would be sociable. But they heed not the message.

The bed-room is to the lelt 'ol the salon, the kitchen opposite. It is a compact little apartment, neatly furnished and well cared tor. The rooms are not too small lor health, and large enough for the eomlort 01 their two occupants. In the salon one or two cabinets show an attempt at elegance. Books abound all over the roomâ€"hidden away here under tables, there etanda ing erect on book-shelves; but the most distinctive lecture is an eseritoire covered with papers, books and writing materials. In the centre stands a large round ; table, covered with a tapestry cloth. It is] here the meals are served when Monsienr‘ and Madame receive company, otherwise they use the kitchen to dine in every day. As they employ no regular servant, Madame finds this much more convenient in every respect. Itisaneat little kitchen. with a table in the middle, large enough for their wants when alone.

Scotland. and emigrated to this country in the year 1831. when he pur- chased and settled on “ Springfield Farm," in the Township oi Nelson, where he lived continuously ior about forty-eight years. and irom which he retired to the Town oi Milton only a iew months before his death. He was (says the Champion) one oi the earliest set- tlers in that part of the Township, and was also one oi the last survivors oi the early‘ pioneers oi the section in which he spent the ; greater part oi his iiie. He never actively engaged in any public duty, being naturally lei a somewhat reserved manner; but by per- ‘ severance and irugality, amidst the privations and hardships incidental to early Canadian liie. secured a competence for himseii and iamiiy. Christmas oi the current year would have witnessed the flitieth anniversary oi his wedding day. His partner in life, as well as his iamuy oi ilve sons and iour daughters, all survive him. and were all present on Mon- day last to pay a last tribute oi respect to him who always evinced the liveliest interest in their welfare. ‘ ~Bclgram'a. “Bo littleâ€"so very little.” lhoy whisper. “ and skilfully mansged ; than Mario would be yours, and l! you do risk anything, you will feel. n least, that you luvs earned snd proved your lovo by sacrificing your soul to gaya has from a life of pain and dishonor." __-- â€"_-- ~---.v u-vuu lvl tnllwflw' and grapple fiercely with heart and brain until may gain recognition, it not mnem- “ Hesven have mercy on me i ” cries the distracted man. aghast at the suggestion which he strives to repel ; but thoughts once born into liie‘ bsttie stontly for existence, " Lite is lnenpporteble.” they whipper; “ why should it be so when a littleâ€"no very little-can alter everything 7 Marie lovee yon.

A series at resolutions were passed. to the effect that some action be taken to urge upon some of the gentlemen shareholders to institute criminal proceedings against the management, the president and directors, but that they (the ladies) were on no account to be called upon to contribute towards any ex- penses that may be incurred by such action. It is to be hoped that each oi the gentlemen composing the directorate, as well as the manager, will prove himself apreuz chevaiier, and fork out or his own means wherewithal to save these poor women from indigence and want brought about by their liberal mode of bank management.

The German newspapers are advocating the celebration on Oct. 15 oi the filtieth birthdayol the railway system. They point out that on Oct. 15. 1829, Geo. Stephenson's locomotive ran on iron rails. Next year the first railway in the world, that between Liverpool and Manchester. was opened: and in 1878 Europe had already 154,523 kilometres (95577 miles) of railroads at work. Among the interesting statistical details connected with railways which have been lately pub- lished in Germany, it appears that Germany itseli holds the first place in Europe in the quantity of its railway communications. possessing a network 0! 30,464 kilometres. Next comes England with 27,540 kilometres; then France with 23,883 kilometres; and Russia with 21,687 kilometres. Austria- Hnngary has only 17,997 kilometres, and Italy 8.213 kilometres. The railway mileage of the United States amounts to more than five-eixths oi the total mileage of Europe, being 127,470 kilometres. The other States of America have altogether only 19,000 kilometres of railways. Asia has 14,000 kilometres, Australia 4,000 kilometres. and Africa only 2,900 kilometres. H. (k N. W.

An extraordinary tragedy was enacted a few days ago at Behwelm. in Prussian West- phalia. Two lads of thirteen and sixteen. whose tether and mother had died a few months since. and who alter their bereavec ment had lived with their maternal grand- father. were found. on the 30th of July. dead and horribly mutilated in thetr bed room. From the text of a written declaration. found on a table in the room and signed by the elder boy. it appeared that both lads had re- solved to die. finding lite unendurable without their parents. and had concerted the means 0! their death. alter having set down upon paper their wishes with respect to the disposal of their clothes. books and play- thlngs. The elder boy had shattered his brother's head with a hammer. using such force that the unfortunate child’s skull was beaten in and his brains rcattsred ‘ over the floor. Alter deliberately slaughtering ‘ his brother. the youthful murderer took pol- son. opened the veins in hisielt wrist with a razor. and discharged a bullet into his fore- head from a revolver. The grandfather of these wretched lads was absent from home upon a business trip at the time of the catal- trophe. and the elder boy had sent all the servants out of the house before commencing his deadly operations. Consequently the dire deed was not even suspected until next morn- ing. when the housekeeper. knocking at the door ol the room in which the brothers slept together. and obtaining no answer to her summons fetched a lock- smith to pick the-lock, and, upon obtaining access to the bed-room found her young masters dead and cold, weltering in their own blood. Had they lived to years o! discretion they would both have become possessed cl ample means: and. ed enough. though they had taken extraord nary pains to dispose at their childish belongings. no mention was made by either of them in the document found upon their table of the considerable inheritance to which they would have been entitled upon coming of age. It appears that they were creep. tionally amiable children. doted upon by their old grandfather. and extremely popular among their schoolmates. A TERRI BLB 'l‘ RAGE!) Y.
