Mr. Madalena had enjoyed the ule passage at arms. She was sorry when Hugh Ayhiffe was gone. Meanwhile the gentleman himself wae strilling swiftly on the level shining beac, strewn with tiny white shells and long wei tresees of black-greer sea-weed, left there -by the receding ude. ¢ What fools the girls are,' said Mr, Ay- Uiffe to himself ; ¢ wilh their little mercen- ary mauna@vies, they give us credit for the same shallow scheming, the same lack of heart and honor. | wish the fabulous heiress that they prate about would come.

I never saw such beautiful e m my hfe ; and she carnes her head like a young princess !* Yes, Hugh Ayiifle was a gentleman, and hy the instinctive touch-stone of kindred, recoanizd Olive Brown as a lady.

"Oh, but 1 am really in earnest,' said Hugh. ¢ Then if you are, please don't mention to any one at the hotel that I have a hiding place here. I don't want to see company, or go into grande toilette. You'll keep my secret, won't you'?? y s ¢ Yes--but--you don't call me company!' "¢ No-- I don't call you cempany.' And Hugh Ayhffe walked back to the hotel, thinking of the tall, pale girl, with the silvery dress and the knot 'of scarlet ribbon at her throat. Hogh Ayhffe anrea- soning mortal that he was, was in love.-- All the man@uvres, the crimps, the dresses and the metropolitan airs and graces of the belles at the hotel had failed 10 ensnare him, and now he had gone and laid down his heart at the feet of a girl with dreamy eyes, and a long throat, who probably didn't care a snap whether he loved hr or not, : Ho fished more desperately than ever, and stayed away more methodieally. He brought books and toys for the little Bryan's and helped the boatman's wife train her Michigan roses, and even under'ook to learn a new and scientific method of steer ing a boat fr m Peter Bryan, 'who chewed tobacco, and was sadly at fault with his grammar. But what did he care, so long as he could bé near Olive ? : ¢Lthink I shall go back -to Boston," said Olive, one day, as «he sat in his little boat, pink reflection of her rose lined pongee parasol: } or id ¥ Hugh dropped his oage, Fortunately they ayere nearing the Shodan floated so that he was able to recover. it again. ¢ Going back to Boston, Olive!

Dora Grey, Migs Deane and their + peculiar sen," were sitting just 'in- side the parlor windows, fluttering their per- fumed fans. ¢ Back again, Monsieur le Wanderer 7° ¢ Yes, back. again.' He leaned against the easing of the wide open French window. For Olive's sake he could endure even the nonentities of Dora, the venomous satiré of Madalena.-= All womanhood wae sacred'to him now-- was she not a woman ? o ¢ You don't know what a delicious bit of news we have picked up, Hugh,' began Dora. ¢ The heiress is here." "ls she ? ¢ Oh, i's very well to play the.indifferent cavalier! Youmen will all be wild after her. We poor little creatures will 'stand no ehance at all." ¢1, for one, shall not:be wild after her.' ¢ Only think of the eccentricity of the thing--her going and thutting herself vp in a horrid little boatman's coltage, a mile or I moro from here! And the woman of the house--stupid good little {thing!--thinks | she's a school teacher, out here for her vacation! Quite romantic, isn't it? But I've heard people "say' that Olive Brown never did things like "anybody else," Mr. Aylifle stood silent aud confounded. So he had made love to the heiress after all, in epite of all his protes(ations and assever- ations. And she wae an heiress--the tall pale girl, with the sober gray 'dresses, whom he had never seen wear a jewel of any description; and who prefered the boatman's cottage, with its low eaves and Michigan roses, to the great 'bustling, lushiouable hotel ! ¢ She's rather pretty ; I just saw her pass- ing out of the room," said' Madalena. ¢ I think she's very pretty,' said Hugh I' '1am engaged to her I' There--it was out now; and the buzz of questions that succeeded the momentary silence or astonishment was not so very difficult after all. Hugh had fallen in love with a little girl with a plain gray dress ; and heiress though she.might be, she was still 'only Olive Brown to him. To be sure he had vowed a hundred times he never would marry an heiress ; but what cares Cupid, that in- consistent little blind god for the vows of man? a And Hugh did marry the heiress alter all! : ! a rr -- A three-eyed cat is a Noank production, and Noank would like to know, jf 'you please, how is that for eye? ~* : A potato bug was found the other day on thé apex of a church spire in Woodstock.

The two worthies were at a party on the night preceeding a Huntly market, where of all laid before them on the table, a fruit loaf of bread best suited their taste. When they had got as far as the lobby in taking their departure, said Johnnie to his brother, ¢ wasna a' thing in fine order yon'er, man ? and wasna yon & most capital loaf 72 ¢ Ay, man,' said Jamie, ¢ an' I put as muckle in my pouch as will dae us both the morn-> The dis- tillery at length was burned and things looked unfavoroble with the tamily ever after. John especially was ever in straits for cash, and in one of these straits he ate tempted to commit suicide--first by drowning in 'a mill dam, where the mud was deeper than. the water,-- He laid down and timbled and twisted him- self in every conceivable shape, until his appearance beggared desoription. Foiled in his attempt at drowning, he hied his "footsteps homeward," when he scized a razor and cut his throat. There was no one about the farm at the ume but the housekeeper and another girl. Tne house- keeper just caught him in the nick of ime. Returning to the house from" milking the cowe, she was astonished at the marks of mud and wet which weis traceable through the kitchen, and followed into the room to ascertain the cause, when she found poor Johnnie weltering in his blood. With 'a courage almost unparalleled, she seized the wound bet #een her two hands, while the blood epurted over: her person, and called lustily for help, which soon appeared, when medical aid was eent for, and arrived after fully two hours, dusting which time she maintained her hold, an! thus saved his life. Johnnie struggled hard to free him- self from the housekeeper's grasp, but she was as determined as he. Fioding her strength a match-for his, he remonstrated with her. Looking her pitifully in the face, he implored his release thuos-- " Allard oman lat it bleed. "-- Alter the doctor had dressed the wound, and his patient had been put to bed, it was fully expected that 'he would neither open his mouth nor eyes for hours to come, and while his saviours were partaking of food beside the bed he suddenly exclaimed,-- ¢ Dear frens, | think I wad be a deal ré- freshet gin I had a bit 0' onything to eat.' -- Johnnie recovered, but ever after maintained a bitter animosity towards tha woman who saved hie lite, remarking to her one day that it ¢ wad a been easier for him to face ae oreditor (meaning God) than a lot 0° olamorous creturs that wad hardly leave him a coat to gang on his back." : ---------- An editor wanted a dog, and advertised for one' as follows :--¢ I will take a good dog for one year's subecription." The next day forty-three dogs were sent to the office. The day after, when the news had sg into the country, four hundred farmers sent two dogs apiece by exprges, with eight baskets full of pupies, all marked C. 0. D.
