The beautiful heiress flushed all over with electric rapidity. and then turned pale, as he graVely and silently bowed to them. The little pale French governess took scarce any notice of him. Another moment, and they were hidden from his night by the gates of_No. 22. In short. Neville, thoroughly in earnest. produced a very readable letter. and one well calculated to make a heart, already full of him. all his own. He concluded by an impassioned entreaty that she would give him some opportunity ct speaking to herâ€"of pleading his cause personally. Fben he could better explain his hopes and ears. again." Neville’e heart beat high. She could not be indifferent to him when her color changed so marvelously. How little uhe dreamed he had such an important. com- munication {or her in lne pocket! A few minutes more and almost all etragglere had disappeared. Neville approached the old woman. “ Cspitsl I” said Sir Frederic. as he con- uded. “ The widdy shall be Cupid's essenger." “ No ; that will never do. I shall anege better in some way." The composition of this epistle taxed eville's powers rather severely ; and after u vain endeavoring to render it an elegant roduction. he threw all his scribbliugs into e fire and dashed off an earnest. simple. trsightforwcrd letter, in which he told the eiress of his sudden and deep passionâ€"of he difficulties which surrounded himâ€"cl he opposition which their proposed mar- isge would call forth. and the complication ts publicity would add to the troubles in hioh he was already plunged. but from elllinh he hoped ere long to extricate him- " Once you are my own,” it proceeded ‘ everything seems possible.

" It was but a moment's work. and no eye or ear save their own detected what was passing. But Marie's cheek glowed and paled: her brain grew dizzy ; she felt how momentous for her was this morning‘s work. Butâ€"she took the letter. What else could she do, without risking aslander? What else could she do, when her heart was yearning for the love of the grave. chival- rous looking stranger. who had sought her so pertinaoiously. and whose earnest eyes expregsed so much tenderness and admir. ation It was safely in her possession without betrayal; and now two weary days had to come and go before Neville could judge what'prozreae he had made.

Some investigating person has lurnished the New York Time: with a brief list 01 patents on small things which in man instances have proved great mines o! weal to the lucky discoVerer. The list might be extended to a much larger number. hut we only state those given in the Times. Among these trifles is the favorite toyâ€"the " return hall“â€"â€"a wooden hall with an elastic string attached. selling for ten cents each. but yielding to its patenteo an income equal to 850,000 a year. The rubber tip on the end of lead pencils affords the owner or the royalty an inde- pendent fortune. The inventor of the gummed newspaper wrapper is also a rich man. The gimlet pointed screw has evolved more wealth than most silver mines. and the man who first thought of putting copper tips to children's shoes is as well oi! as it his lather had left him $2,000,000 in United States bends. Although roller skates are not so much used in countries where ice is abundant, in South America, especially in Brazil. they are very highly esteemed. and have yielded over $1,000,000 to the inventor. But hehadto spend fully 3125.000 in England alone fighting infringements. The “ dancing Jim Grow." a toy. provides an annual income of 875,000 to its inventor, and the common needle threader is worth 310.000 a year to the man who thought of it. The " drive well " was an idea of Colonel Green, whose troops. during the war. were in want of water. He conceived the notion of driving a two-inch tube into the ground until water was reached and then attaching a pump. This simple contrivance was patented after the war. and the tens of thousands of farmers who have adopted it have been obliged to pay him a royalty, a moderate estimate of which is placed at $3,000,000. The spring window shade yields an income of $100,000 a year ; the stylographio pen also brings in 8100.000 yearly; the marking pen. for shading in different colors.8100,000; rubber stamps the same. A very large fortune has been reaped by a western miner. who, ten years since. invented a metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and pants pockets to resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces of ore and heavy tools. “11y Oyster: Should be Eaten Raw. (New York Sun.) Why oysters should be eaten raw is ex- plained by Dr. \Vm. Roberts in his lecture on “Digestion." He says that the general practice of eating the oyster rawis evidence that the popular judgment upon matters of diet is usually trustworthy. The fawn- eolored mass. which is the delicious portion of the fish. is its liver, and is simply a mass of glycogen. Associated with the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with it during life. is its appropriate digestive fermentâ€"the hepatic diaetase. The mere crushing of the oyster between the teeth brings these two bodies together. and the glycogen is at once digested without any other help than the diastase. The raw. or merely warmed. ayatol- is salt-digestive. But the advantage of this provruinn In wholly lost by cooking, ifcr the heat immediately destroys the asso- ‘ciated ferment. and a cooked oyster has i to be digested. like any other food. by the } eater-:3 own digestive powars. Then he sent for a glass of brandy and a. glass of Gninnesa‘ XX, and put an oyster in each. In a. very short time there lay in the bottom cf the glass of brandy a tough. leathery substance resembling the finger of a. kid glove. while in the porter there was hardly a. trace of the oyster to be found. “ My dear sir. do you want m ruin your digestion ‘2" asked Professor Houghton. of Trinity College. one duy of a. ftiend who had ordered brandy and water with his oysters i_n a Dubjin regtanraqt. a u At the Marlborough Street Police Court yesterday Mr. Michael Sandys and Mr. Charles Browus. of Onslow Gardens. described as gentlemen. were charged with being drunk and disorderly. A non. stable stated that on Sunday morning he saw Sandys dancing with a woman in the streets. He requested him to go away, but he would not. put his arm round his (witness‘) neck and attempted to dance with him. Brown then got up a lamp-post and read something from a newspaper as to the duties of the police. He took Sandys into the station. Browne ran in also and was detained. It was urged for the defence that the defendants had been dining with Sir John \Villoughby on his return from Egypt. and on leaving the club there was some " shading" With the policemen. and Browne got up a lamp pom. and read ex- tracts from Mr. Howard Vincent's book on the duties of policemen. Sir John Wil- loughby was called. and stated that t defendants were not drunk. Asked by magistrate what he considered no man. Sir John replied that man was unconscious of what he w he considered him to be drunk. Mr. Newton said there Wall some doubt about the matter and dismissed the cases, but he thought gentlemen should not dance in the streets or climb lsmp-poets.â€"Pall Mall Gazette.
