"I have got some news for you, Mag­ gie," he said, one day. about eighteen months after he hod gained his commis­ sion. "Guess what it is." Thoy were walking along the green lanes of Per look, listening to the cease­ less murmur of the sea, as at intervals they had walked and listened ever since they could remember; at any rate, she was six yeans younger than her former play-fellow. " You are going i to be promoted," she said. " Promoted, yon little goose! No one ever gets ptxamotediin the British army. Guess again." " You ture godugito marry an heiress." There was «. lump, in her throat as she said it. "Wrong again. 'No estimable young person with green eyes, a turn-up nose, susceptible Iheart atid £50,000 a year has turned up yat. (But it's something near­ ly HR good. I am ordered to China." "Oh, AJise!" she gasped, and burst into tears. It was very foolish of her, but then eke was only 16, aud had not yet acquired .the praiseworthy art of concealing lb er: feelings. "Why, whatever tare you crying for?" lie asked, «nd kissed away her tears. He'd kissed her ever since she was 5, fcud thougift iio more of it than if she had been Iiie sister, or the cat, except­ ing, perhaps, i that it was nicer--which it sras, no doubt "I shall only be away five years at .most, and when I come back I'll taring . you .a pig-tail, and an ivory tooth-pick, and a whole lot of things, and--" " Yes," «he niicl, listening attentively.

When it eame, with a roll of music under her arm, a flush on her innocent, frightened fare, and a scared, almost bunted, ex- Seaskwt in her eves, she descended and oidiy opened the drawing-room door, and there stood still for a moment, star­ ing in astonishment. There sat the heiress, with an eager, pleased expres­ sion on her face, and leaning over her, talking and laughing, and more hand" some than ever, and sunburnt and sol­ dierly-looking, was Alio Granger. The color rushed to Maggie's face, as if to say a hurried good-by, and then left it altogether. She recovered self-posses­ sion, kowever, and walked with what she flattered herself was great dignity toward the piano. She felt rather thau saw mm raise his head and look at her, and the next moment she saw him by her side. "Maggie--my dear Maggie! Why, fancy you being here; where did you come from ? I have been trying to And you out for months." v»"I thought you"--and then she did not know how to go on, so added, al­ most piteously, "I am the governess here." "Are yon? Oh, I see, then, that is the reason I have not seen you before, I suppose." ^ " Do you really know Miss Dunlop?" the heiress asked, coming up and speak­ ing in her coolest manner. Maggie wished sincerely she could sink into her shoes and bury herself. " Why, of coarse I do; we have been play-fellows ever since we were born-- haven't we, Maggie ?" Aud Maggie, feeling that she was backed up, answered bravely : "Oil, indeed, how interesting!" then turning to Maggie : " Will you be so good as to begin a waltz, Miss Dunlop ? This was to IK? our dance, I think," to Alio, and -she tailed off with him tri­ umphantly. He«aue<to 'her directly after the dance was over.. " I went down to Perlock to try and find out where you had goue to, ' he suid, " but nobody knew." " It didn't matter," she said, huskily, letting her fingers wander vaguely over the keys to make believe she wasn't very much interested in what be said. '* Yes, it did--it mattered a great deal. Why, I have got a box full dt curiosi­ ties for you--clubs to fight with, and a little heathen god or two, and a statue of Buddha and all sorts of (things. I told you I-should bring you them 'home. IXi jvou livohere--I mean in this house ?" lie said these last words under his breath, for the heiress came up, and he was carried off to dance with Mrs. Somebody at the other end of the room, but not before Maggie had nodded a reply to him. Soon after this Miss Patterson came up to the »>iauo, and, saving that she wished to play herself, and'that Maggie looked tired, dismissed ker without being able to £trt another look at Alic. The next morning, to Moggie's very great surprise, Miss Patterson came into i the school-room before the children had ! resembled. j " Miss Dunlop," she said stiffly, " I j should like to know where wou say you j met Mr. Granger." ~ j "At Perlock. His uncle lived next j door' to' my mother. Hr is a very old j friend, indeed-- " Thank you. I merely wished to in­ quire, because, of course, you must be aware: that it is not usual for any one in your position to make herself remarks ble'by haviner long confidence talks with any gentleman who may visit the house." '"II don't know what vou mean, Miss Patterson," Maggie said* indignantly. Hut Miss Patterson had r wept out of Ahetroom without deigning to r^ply. Then Maggie went into her little ream; the one place she had in'the world .entirely to herself, and cried till her eyes were red and her bead et-clied. The lessons did not progress that morning. Maggie was thinking of Alic, who was no doubt strolling: about the «ommon listening to the ban d and mak­ ing Jove to the heiress. The children were more than usually stupid,itoo, and sll the. world seemed upside down, and all its-ways turned crooked. Suddenly, «t about 12 o'clock, just wten Maggie " Yes, of coarse, I am--to yon." "Oh, but, Alic--" "Oh, but, Maggie--" And then he stopped and kissed her, and nothing moss could be* said, for the door opened and there stood the Colonel, ana there stood Maria Patter­ son. Of course there was no rejoicing cm the part of Maria, but, notwithstanding, Alio and Maggie were married within a month. ~ Given t'p by Doctors* 'Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is work, and cured by go simple a remedy up and at lyV" 1 RFBiire vou it is true that he is entirely I, ly t< id he muet die !" ay cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitten ; and a doctors ga^ only ten days ago his < i gave him up and i; " Well-a-day !

The good colored folks were seated in the Wesleyan Chapel, on Wash street. All was silent in there save the rustle of the Bible leaves. The pastor was hunt­ ing the text of his sermon. He had come to a passage that looked like the one he sought for, and he paused for a moment and bent his head lower and peered at the good words. The congregation Bent up a sigh, for the moment had arrived when they had to face their weekly lecture, when the warden of the little church opeued the windows wider so that the good words of the pastor might float out into the night air and perhaps be heeded by the ungodly. The minister raised his head, "I take for my text," he said, "the words: 'It iff more blessed to give than to receive.' " "Blessed indeed," groaned a sinner from the rear end of the church. "There are many who come to church," said tlje pastor, "who would do well to remember these words. They are of that kind who coine here and drink ana eat in the presence of these terrible j °f the good things, but who are never gods? Ancient writers tell us that phil­ osophers are not afraid of scaling Mount Etna, although much higher thau Olym- i pus; but they never mention one single i mortal who has had the temerity to j ascend the mountain of the gods, not ; even in the days of science, in that age | when philosophers taught that Zeus and I the other immortals were mere concep­ tions of the human mind. j Later on, other religious, -disseminated ' among the various people living in the I surrounding plains, took possession of •j the sacred mountain and consecrated it to new divinities. There the Greek | Christians worshiped the Holy Trinity ; instead of Zeus; tliev still look upon its | three principal peaks as the three great I thrones of Heaven. 'Oue of its loftiest I points, which formerly, perhaps, lore a temple of Apollo, is now surmounted by ! a monastery of St. Elias; one of its dales, I wherein the Bacchantes were wont to : sing "Kvoe!" iu honor of Dionysos or I Bacchus, is inhabited by the monks of 1 St. Denys. Priests have succeeded to ! priests, and the superstitious respect of ] modern times to the worship of the < ancient; but perhaps the highest sum- j mit is yet untrodden by human steps; ! the soft light, resplendent above its 1 rocks and snow, has not beamed upou i any man since the HaUenic gods took I their departure. ! A few years ago it would have been | difficult for a European to attain the j summit of the mountain, for the Hellenic i klcphtcs, unerring shots, occupied all I its gorges; they bad intrenched tliem- | selves in it, a£ within an enormous cita- j del, and thence, recommencing the con- | fliet of the gods against the Titans, they I set out upou their expeditious against | the Turks of Mount Ossa. Proud of : their courage, they believed themselves i invincible as the mountain upon which I they lived; tbev endowed Olympus it- j self with life. ""I am," said one of their | songs, "I am Olympus, illustrious in nil i ages, and renowned amid Nations; forty here at the time the box is passed around." "Y-o-u'-r-e a 1-i-a-h!" were the words that came floating through the air and to the pitst< >r's ears as he paused at the end of the above sentence. A tall, slen­ der figure arose in the middle aisle of the church. It was the frame of a river j steward, black as night, the face of .John Raymond, twenty-one years of age. a recoguized masher in colored circles. With right fore-finger poised, and {joint­ ing straight at the pastor he said: "Your insinivations, sah, are geueral, Imt too pointed, sail. You are a 1-i-a h, sab. when you make such insinivations a 1-i-a-h, sah--a 1--i--a--h." ; The pastor looked thunderstruck With pupils dilated and arms outstretched he begged Mr. Raymond to desist. Said Mr. Raymond: "I will see you in first, sah--in !" "Warden! W^den!" shouted the pas­ tor. Ashbury Bishop, for many years the venerable and respected Warden of the church stepped to the front He looked exceedingly consequential, He imagined that he hud but to request Mr. Raymond to leave the church and he would leave. He asked Mr. Raymond to retire. "You go to !" said Mr. Raymond in reply. "I shall never leave here, sah, until I have had satisfaction--satisfac­ tion, sab, or blood, sah. or b-l-o-o-d!" The Warden became terrified. He ran out of the church and mto the street, aud half the congregation ran after him. The other half remained within and gazed in wonder at Mr. Raymond, who still held the church, aud the pastor, too. The latter every now aud then at­ tempted an explanation, but before he could get fairly started in that direction Mr. Raymond sileneed him with words which chilled the hearts of the godly within hearing distance.
