The craity old man had taken care not to bring the young people together in amy manner during their childhood, lest they should grow up as brother and elster, without thought of a dearer relaâ€" tionship. _ He had contented himself with secluding the young baroness from other youthful company. He had fixed Albert Hastings, the only son of Cofâ€" one: Hastings, of Hastings Hall, Devon, and of Portman Square, London, had been endowed by nature with many other good gifts besides his preâ€"emiâ€" mently bandsome and princely person. He had a good head, and originally a good heart, but he had beep spoiled from is youth up, in being led to believe that the whole world, and all within it, had been created for his own private use â€"or abuse, if he pleased. And if this selfish creed were not now fully credited, it was, at least, thoroughâ€" &carried out in his practiceâ€"a thing t cannot often be said of better epeeds, or even better mon. This lonely cottage had been rented and furnished by Albert Hastings as a tryating place for his love. The whole air o!tfie room was couleur de rose. He ealled it "The Bower of Roses." It was indeed the bower of on»e peorless rose. Here he had been accustomed, during his visits to the neighborhood of his atâ€" fianced bride, to meet the Rose of his secret thoughts. But here, also, let it be elearly understood. he had respected the honor‘ of the humble maidenâ€"not upon good pirneiple, perhaps, but, loÂ¥ing ';;' with all tze power p:l his selfish heart, and resolved upon making her his own forever, he abstained from any freedom that might alatm her delicacy, and, perhaps, estrange her heart. And so eaying, Albert Hastings took bis hat and strolled out into the street. Walking in an opposite direction to that taken by Colone!l Hastings in his drive to Swinburne Castle, Albert Hastings soon reached a crossâ€"country road, which he pursued for about two miles. Then, turning to the left, he entered a narow, shady lane, tha led him to a small, seâ€" eluded cottage, nearly hidden from sight amid climbing vines, clustering shrubs and overhanging trees. Taking a key from his pocket, he unlocked the little g«m wooden gate, and, paseing between II, flowering shrubs, he stepped under the vineâ€"shaded porch, and, applying a emall key, opened the cottage door and entered at once upon the only large room the cottage could boast. 1 cannot pause for lady‘s right, or maiâ€" den‘s honor. Here, then, for a divided life; my hand to the lady of Swinburne, my heart to the lovely cottage girl; only lady Etheridge must never know of Rose Elmer and William Lovel. nor must Rose Elmer know Lady Etheridge andj Albert Hastings. And now to perâ€" suade Rose to go before me into Wales, where myself and my lady bride are to pend our honeymoon." Colonel Hntinfis had scarcely left the room ere Mr. Albert Hastings arose, stretched himself with a weary yawn, and began to pace thoughtfully up and down the floor, murmuring : "Men think me a very fortunate and happy man; and, doubtless, an unusual number of good gifts have been showâ€" ered upon me by the favor of the blind goddes»sâ€"not the least among them would be esteemed the hand of this wealthy young baroness, my bride exâ€" pectant. Well, we cannot have everyâ€" thing we want in this world, else sweet Rose Elmer only should be the wife of Albert Hastings. Poor girlâ€" she little dreams that the man who has wooed her, under the name of William Lovel, is really Albert Hastines, the envied bridegroom of the highâ€"born Lady Etherâ€" i'dge of Swinburne.

At all grocers customed eyes; the beauty charmea aer poetic soul; and the thought that all this had been prepared by William Lovâ€" el, and for her, touched her heart with profound gratitude. * ; she remained, year after year, under the : |care of a distant female relative, Mrs, pil Montgomery, the wiaow of a clergyman. y ' There she was attended by various | deeplyâ€"learned masters and highlyâ€"acâ€" lvomplis\hed mistresses, all very discreet _| and elderly, who had been sent down by Colonel Hastings to carry on her educaâ€" tion. At the age of eighteen she first met Albert Hastings. It had been planâ€" ned that she should spend a year in making the tour of the continent, in company with her guardian and his son, whose travels were delayed for this purâ€" ‘ pose. It was but a few days before the intended departure, while the heart of the young heiress was clated with the i prospect of secing foreign countries, that ,Albort Hastings was introduced to her. | His handsome person, dignified presence, i and fascinating manners, made some imâ€" pression upon the imagination of the seâ€" cluded young baroness. _ During their subsequent travels over the continent, his wellâ€"cultivated mind, various accomâ€" plishments, and brilliant conversational powers so deepened this impression that . the youthful Lady Etheridge thought she had met the man of men, the only one in the world to whom it was posâ€" sille to givre her own heart, and when the expected avowal of love and offer of marriage came Laura Etheridge tremâ€" ! bled at the thought of a happiness too rich for her meritsâ€"ailmost too perfect ’for this world. _ Albert Hastings was deeply enamored of the Baroness Etherâ€" idge of Swinburne and her vast possesâ€" sions; but, apart from these, how much did he really care for the young girl, Laura ® his ward, the young gentleman to visit his brideâ€"elect. It was during one of these visits to the neighborhood, while he was staying at the Etheridge Arms, that Albert Hastines first «~~ N* Y «sâ€"ava The Hastings fixed their residence at their town house, but frequently came down to Swinburne, the guardian to see They returned home to prepare for the marriage, which was to take place at Swinburne Castle. It was before one of the most forlornâ€" looking of these cottages that Rose Elâ€" mer paused, lifted the latch, and entered at once upon a large, comfortlessâ€"lookâ€" ing room, whose scanty furniture had been already covered with dust in her. are doors opened immediately u;)on the sideâ€" walk ,and not a bit of passage protected the privacy of the dwellers. Any intruâ€" der could step at once from the street into the keepingâ€"rooms of these houses. It was a narrow, dusty, unsightly lit. tle street. There was no rural freshness or picturesque beauty about it, The lit. tle old stone cottages on each side, and the few sicklyâ€"looking plants that stood in the windows, were covered with hard, white dust, that every breath of wind and every passing vehicle raised up in elouds. + ' "Farewell for the last time, Rose Elâ€" mer; when next we part I shall s1y, ‘Farewell, Rose Lovel, my own sweet wife!" They returned to the village by differâ€" ent routes. Mr. Hastings went to ns inn, and summoned his confidential serâ€" vant to his presence. And Rose Elmer, full of hope and joy, turned down the street leading to her mothoer‘s cottage, It was a narrow, dusty, unsightly lit»| flw skwa t enk C ht ce 102 i Snd Actadabiads e n ols tdb ce Bs L1 1515 he said, important business foreed him. This agreed upon, they took leave of each other for a few hours, Mr. Hastings sayâ€" ing in parting: no other condition than that of be'i’ng allowed to remain with her would she consent to the secret marriage. _ And to this condition Mr. Hastings at last agreed, especially as there wore very seri. ous difficulties attending his favorite project of sending her to Wales, where he and his lofty but unloved bride were going to spend their honeymoon. _ And, finafiy. he obtained a promise from Rose that she would meet him at the cottage that same night, where, by a previous arrangement, his confidential servant, disguised as a clergyman, was to be in | attendance to perform the marriage cereâ€" mony. _ After which, Rose should return to her mother, to remain during the few weeks of his absence in Wales, whither This was not all that Mr. Hastings wished, but ncither logic nor eloquence could convince or persuade Rose%llmer to desert her ailing mother; and upon sw eddiku sns se veWrl s Her "duty to her mother," he said, "was to provide for her support in her old age. Her marriage with â€" himsolf would effectually do this." Then she pleaded hard that this mothâ€" er should be at once admitted into their confidence. _ Tenderly, but obstinately, he refused this; telling her that their secret would not be safe in the keeping of a sick and nervous woman, whose reaâ€" son, from all that he could herr of her, was evidently tottering; and that if that secret should be discovered, his proud uncle would not only disinherit him and withdraw his powerful protection from him, but would even turn his politneal influence against him. Then Rose ceasâ€" ed to resist, only stipulating that afâ€" ter their marriage she should still reâ€" main with her mother, who needed her services, until Mr, Lovel should be ready to acknowledge her as his wife and take both herself and parent to his own home. It would be tedious to repeat all the argumenrts he used to reconcile her to a clandestine marriage. It is enough to say that he was a man of society, gifted with powers of logic and eloquence that might have swayed the councils of a naâ€" tion, to say nothing of the mind of a young girl. He was, besides, handsome, fascinating, and in love; and she was a simrle village girl, loving, esteemed and confiding in him with her whole heart. He found the task easier than he could have hoped. Hers was the perfect love which "casteth out fear," that "thinketh no evil." _ Indeed, she advaned but one objection to the secret marriageâ€"her her duty to her mother. But this very argument he immediately â€" seized , and used on his own side. Before coming down _on his last visit, Mr. Hastings had written her a note, signed as usual, "William Lovel," and apâ€" pointed a meeting with her at the cotâ€" tage. "To educate myself to be more worâ€" thy of you? Oh, yes, Mr. Lovel. You almost distress me with kindness. But I have always heard that the noble and good draw their highest happiness from deeds of beneficence. How happy, then, must you be! Yes, Mr. Lovel, 1 will come," she murmured, in low and genâ€" tle tones, blushing at her own temerity in saying so much. ’ And thus it was arranged, And daily, while he continued in the neighborhood, they met at the cottage in the wood. Rose Elmer proved an apt scholar. She ha dalready the solid foundation of a good common education. _ Albert Hastâ€" ings introduced her to the world of poetry, belles lettres, and art, When he left the neighborhood he had left with her a duplicate key of the cottage, that she might admit herself when she pleasâ€" ed, only exacting from her that she should keep her visits thither, as she had kept t-ficir meetings, a secret. er. it shall be my delightful task to open to your mind the treasures of literâ€" ature and art, and to direct your readâ€" ing. _ This lovely spot shall be our study, and you shall meet me here daily, while I remain in the neighborhood. Will you do this, sweet Rose?" _ "Sweet love, I did not mean to hurry and distress you . Since you feel a deâ€" sire for a wider range of knowledge, though I think you altogether lovely &s you are, 1 myself will become your teachâ€" How to undeceive her without shockâ€" ing her; how zo explain, without estrangâ€" ing her, he could not tell. He perceived that the winning of this girl to his purâ€" pose must be the work of time ang of great patience, He returned to her sids, and repossessing himseif of her hand, said : "Mr. Lovell, I am too lowly born, too humble, and too ignorant to be your wife. _ Would it were otherwise, ana I were worthy of the station that you ofâ€" fer me," she murmured, in an almost inâ€" audible voice. He suddenly dropped her hand and walked to the window. _ He nad not meant anything like this. Yet the inâ€" rocent village girl had naturally mistakâ€" en his declaration of love for a proposal of marriage. "This is my home, sweet Rose, and yours, when you consent to share it with me," he answered, with a grave tenderâ€" ness that was natural to him when speakâ€" ing to her. turring her clear eyes, beaming nocent joy, upon his face.

This will require a staff of 38 instructorâ€"inspectors, and it is considered by those who have had the work in charge that the man appointed to the work would be able to render more effective service than _ in past years. Many of the better factories are really not in need of regular instruction and in the majority of cases a call of an hour or two from the instructor will be just as effective as to spend a whole day with the maker in manufacturing a lot of cheese. This will give the instrucâ€" inspectors an opportunity to visit many of the farms and to advise with the proâ€" ductors as to the best method of producâ€" ing the desired quality of milk. In the opinion of the chief instructors the chief essentials in producing a firstâ€"class arâ€" ticle is that the raw material receive proâ€" per attention by the producer and milk hauler. Chief Instructors Barr and Pubâ€" low stated that ‘"90 per cent. of the rejections can be traced to inferior raw material." _ The representatives of the dairy assoâ€" clations and the chief instructoniq'.l;w,etl‘ as the regular staff of : instructors are of one opinion as to the advisubility of | clothing the instructors with the {power | of sanitary inspectors and so arranging | the districts that every factory and } creamery will be subject to regular sysâ€" tematic sanitary inspection â€" and may have the benefit of instruction as well.

Many a man thinks he may beâ€" »come good apart from Christ. In that «©ase a man is limited to himself and to the forces within his own nature. *The man who attaches himself to Christ! ho added,!"is only limited by the forces that Are in Christ. _ To his early disciples Christ said, ‘Follow me" He ;tt;&e‘ to himself, out of grew ::I love and Iu:z- nwd &_444 not mecessarily looking back to a past experience of conversion, but the daily renewal of that experience, a conseious and constant surrender, while life shail . _ . â€" en raimcn i nn un uon The Rev, Charles A. Eykes, of Smith‘s Falls, Ont., was the speaker at the Men‘s Meeting on Sunday afternoon at the Young Men‘s Christian Association. His topic was, ‘What is it to be a Chrisâ€" tian.‘ _ Mr. Sykes said he felt that Christ‘s entrance into many hearts was blocked by obstacles of their own creâ€" ating. (',Yirht was not so anxious for the acceptance of any creed on the part of men as for their spiritual condition. The secret of the Christian life was perâ€" sonal attachment to Jesus Christ.

How are we to resist this |constant procession of sinful solicitaâ€" | tions ‘which impregnates the soul‘s atâ€" | mosphere? Thank God, this atmosphere |around the soul is not altogether evil. If we are .encompassed by forces that make for death, yet are there also eleâ€" ments and infllences that make _ for righteousnes and life. Just as the pure oxygen breathed into the lungs strengthâ€" ons the whole body so that it casts off every disease germs that invades it, so as the soul puts itself into that big area of, living where the oxygen . of heaven sweeps in currents of purity and power, will we overcome in this conflict with evil. If there are unscen princiâ€" palities of wickedness around us, thank God there are also unseen influences of the divine life. The more of God there is in your thoughts, the less of evil will there be in your actions. Evil cannot live where God is. If the spirit of Christ is supreme within the sanctuary of the heart, no impious feet of evil can invode its _ precinets. The spirit of Christâ€"that after all is our srest pledge 6f victory. The true health of our soul lies in communion with the living, perâ€" sonal S:Vbnrnk w’l‘o‘.bm:h d:lle atmosâ€" phere o y by day, to have our souls reinforced turough communion with Him is not only to strengthen our own lives, but to purify the tone of that spiritual atmosphere around us in which we all live and move and have our being. "Wherefore," says Paul, "take unto. you the 'fil:l: armor of hg:d." In Pnlul'- thought is somet! personal «in these battalions of sin which sweep upon us out of the darkness.â€"Rev NroTiam. "~0 man liveth unto himself, and no ’man dieth unto himself." _ For good or evil l.lae? is no cutâ€"off soul in God‘s uniâ€" verse. n this strange mysterious atâ€" mosphere of the spirit, every sinâ€"infected life is a menace to the moral health of the community, "Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth," says the Apostle, and it was that truth that gave such solemn emphasis to the words ~ of Christ when He said: "Take heed how ye offend"â€"that is, the cause to stumble â€""one of these little ones, It were betâ€" ter for that man that a stone wore tied around his neck and he were cast into the of the sea." _ Therefore, y bmmkt us wrestle against these intangibfeâ€"elements of evil that are not only around us, but within us, lesi in cherishing them we cause, it may . be unconsciously, some little one, some weak and tempted soul, to stumble into the ways of death. Eterpal God, the Lord of nations, we come with grateful hearts to thank Thee for this goodly land which Thou hast name our home. Thou hast given us the portion of the well beloved, and ‘Thou dost ex;ut of us the fruit of righteousâ€" ness. Forgive our failure and our sin, Let not Thy judgment fal} upon us beâ€" cause of the iniquity that too greatly abounds, but grant us the grace of reâ€" pentance, and help us to cleanse our ways. Take part, 0 God, with those who are seeking to combat the powers of evil. Give them wisdom, strength â€" and paâ€" tience. Sustain them by ‘Thy spirit and grant them viectory. Be mericul to those who from‘the deep pit of evil habit, have cried to Thee for deliverance. Hear their cry and lift them up an set them on the rock. _ Manifest Thy saving love and power throughout all our land, and to the ends of the earth, and Thine shall be the glory. Amen. n Christ. _ To his early disciplos t said, ‘Follow me‘ He attached to himself, and out of that grew love and devotion and their insight Ris fature.
