She puts by in her desk the pile of com- positions she had finished ooireonng, and seeing through the dingy litle window that the snow is falling, draws on her rubbers and pulls the hood of her water-proof care. fully over her ears. She had a half-mile walk belore her. A enperior specimen of a country 'school. mistress--a tall, stately girl, whose beauty of face and the sweetness of voice charm even the uncouth children she 18trncts. -- Oune year ago Clara Talfourd was a belie, a reputed heiress in a dimaot oity. The only child of a {anther vioh and indulgent, a fav- orite in sooiety ; young, flatterud, beloved. Clara might now well be amuzed at fate, for of all the bright gilts of fortune, none remained save the unprofitable one of beau- ty. Thatdid not increase her salary ae teacher of the district sohool of M----e-. Six months had elapsed since Mr. Tal- fourd's sudden death had bereft his child ot love and wealth atonce. With a distant relative of her father--called Aunt, from courtesy --she had found a shelier, safe though obscure ; and if she could bave ;for- gotten her dead futher and reoreant lover, might hyve found lite more endurable than she dil, When Clara Talfourd made her debut two years belore in society, one of the first to acknowledge her charms was Hugh Weston. His approval of Clara, as his fus- tidiousness was well known, wae a sencial wiumph for the young belle. From the first he appreciated the new 'beauty. Morning after morning hadpassed by him in Mr. Tullourd's cosy library, read- ng aloud to Clara, retouching'her drawings, correcting her Fronch, or practising duets, in which his tenor voice biended meludious- ly with her clear sophrano. When Clara and her father took their daily nde in the Park, Hugh Weston al- ways joined them, 10 Clara's silent delight snd Mr. Talfourd's silent annoyauce. Hugh leaned over Clara's ohair at the opera, at- tended her to balls and parties, escorted her 10 the supper table ; in short, Wok pains to let both Clara and her {father see his pre- tensions as a suitor. By the. daughter his devotion was re- warded by a love fond and true ; but Mr. Talfourd's opposition to their intimacy was forestalled by his sudden death. To her the loss of a {aiher, tender and in- dulgent as hers, was so crushing, that when she learned soon after the loss of wealth must be added, also, she scarcely heeded it. Noto with Hugh Weston, who, when infermation hed him, was 10 rail ut fortune, hitherto to him beneficent enough, .

At first the | | hypocrite wrote punetnafly enough, and Ciara was inclined toJtake herself to task for being exacting because her lover's let ters did not please her ; slowly, yet surely, however, the gouviction dawned on her that he who had lust 80 much must yet give up still more. He never paid his pro- mised visit, acd hie last letter (as Clara was afterwards glad to remember) was never answered, Shortly alter her arrival in M----, the lace of district school-teacher being vacant, Mine Talfourd applied forand received the appointment, f 1 Ruth's amazement was great, but Clara assuring her that she was poor and must work for her living, silenced the easy lady. While we have been loling har story our heroine reached the . arden gate. Foore she paused a moment to sigh a dreary sigh'in anticipation of a monotenous even- ing, spent as so many Jieviote ones had been. Aunt Ruth would after supper draw the little stand from a corner, and placing » large lamp on it, desire Clara to read aloud The latter doing 60, the old lady would pro- ceed to fall asleep, snoring comfortably ae her Sambar OV ar. fhen Clara would fail 10 watching the firejor the large white face of the "old fasNioned clock, Prince Albert, May 3, 1871. 18 or whose hands were s0 long resching ten-- the hour for bed, : : Nothing tarns out as one aniicipates. -- Clara had just reached her room, and was divesting herself of water-proot and over- shoes when Aunt Ruth entered breathless snd excited, a condition rare wilh that placid lady. ¢ Oh, Clara, such a surprize | here is a gentleman fiom the city wishing to see you.' For a moment the brightness of Clara's face astonished her relative.

Mr. Foreyth, the unexpected visitor, a tall, dark,.grave man of five-and-thirty, sat by the grate fire. His desire for Clara ever since he first saw her, had been that ¢ of the moth for the star.' Until a day or two ago he had supposed Hugh Weston to be the happy recipient of an afleotion coveted by himself. But that gentlemen's recent marriage to the rich and homely Mies Worth had put these ideas to flight. _ Clara was unconscious of this secret de- votion--yet, as she smoothed her loxunant hair, and changed her diess, she was aware of a feeling of gratitude towards Mr. Forsyth for remembering her. When she entered and greeted Mr. For- eyth, he was shooked to soe how pale an wan she had grown ; but her changed looks only aroused a more determined desire to take ber out of the monolunoys and joyless life she was leading.® Well, Mr. Forsyth waoced bravely, and prosperad in his wooing --as a man should. Hasdly two months aller his first visit to M----, there was a quiet wedding st Aunt Roth's, 'The old lady held the wee ing girl,. sob- bing out her love and gratitude on that kind breast), in a fond embrace, thet: released her with a jook that said plainly, ¢ I trust you' in your husband's arms.

Society,"which too has almost (orgotten poor preity Mrs. Forsyth, No longer poor, and with her girlish pretii- ness changed to mature and womanly beau- ty. Hugh Weston wondered idly for a mo- ment what had changed the tender, humble girl he had once pretended to tove, into this stately, gracious lady. Could it be possible he had ever checked her for read- img 100 fast and vorrected a tendency to lisp, us she war prone to do when sho got aui- malted and enthusiastic in her conversation. Hugh's conscience, which had given him uneasy twinges when he recalled Clara Talfourd, was quieted at once when he met Mie, Foreyth, but a new admiration was aroused. What a contrast she afforded his plain and tasteless wife ? Mr. and Mrs, Weston met the Forsytha frequently in society, but the two families were never {riends. One morning at brenkfast, Hugh Weston sipping his coflee and glancing ionally at his paper, uttered an involuntary excla- mation of surprise. ¢ What sit 2 inquired his wifa. * Why, I see that Mrs. Forayth, by the death of sn old and esceutrio uncie,has come into possession of a splendid and unexpect- ed fortune.

Many a fair lady and gallant soldier were fain to kiss his hand, as the hand of their Sovereign during ing his life-long exile. But whether fiom fear of the Austrian Court, or from natural timiduy, the Duke ol Reichsiady ever ehrauk from these loyal appiosches. He seemed to have, with all his sell-conscious- neas as the heir of Napoleon, with all his tive convinotion that his hopes would never end 10 attainment: What a Hamlet struggle bis whole life was! Are we wrong in seeing in the fate of this poor boy a continuance of Napoleon's divinely-infliocted punishment. His seed was not to inherit the earth, howeyer meek and mild and affectionate, it might be. The son of the daughter of Austria's Emperor, for whom he had put away from him bis lawlul wife, was to be a lackland and a prisoner, a prey to ambition which bad no energy, and agiluted by aspirations which were denied achievement ; while the child- ren and descendants of her whom he so cruelly rejected were destined to occupy the very position among the nations of Europe which in his eyes constituted the highest happiness. Justice of this kind is to be met with in fact as well as in fiction ; and it is not limited in ite operations to the aspirants after thrones.-- From the ¢ New Dominion Monthly" for July.

Two men, Thos, McGarry and John Dowell, had been in town on that day, and during the afternoon had been drinking. About ten o'clock at night they started for home, accompanied by twa other men, in a buggy. When near the residence of Mr, McGarry, who had been sleeping since he left Perth, he was re. quested to wake up by one of the men, -- On leaving the buggy McGarry dragged Dowell after him when a scuffle ensued during which Dowell drew a knife and made a dreadful wound in McGarry's ab- domen, letting out bis bowels on the road. 'The man was picked up and carried fo his residence and medical assistance at once secured, but his injuries were of such g dreadful nature that he lingered in great suffering until Saturday, when he died.-- An inquest was beld op Monday on the remains, when a verdict of manslaughter wap returned by the Jury against Dowell. Both men were respectably connected, and the affair cast a gloom over tbe neighbor, hood in which they resided--the township of Drummond. AQUATIC.

They will practice twice a day, at 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., spending part of their time st uoits etc. Elliot is to build another boat or the orew at once the model of which will be very much like the present but con- siderably lighter.
