That month passed rapidly, a portion of it being spent in the absorbing cceupation of purchasing a trousseau, and the rest in various preparations at Elstonlee. Herbert who had left us in London, in order that he might return to Cambridgeshire, and make certain arrangements of his own, had promised to rejoin us on the day before that fixed for the wedding. He did not, however, make his appeaiance at Woodâ€" bine Cottage until very late i2 the evening â€"so late, indeed, that mamma, annoyed by his dilatoriness, would scarcely permit him to enter the house, but insi:ting that *Minna must have a good night‘s rest in order to be prepared for thelong journey of the com‘ng day,‘ hurried hin off, almost before we had finished our grectings, to the hotel where he had to pass the night. At the same hotel, the only one in the villâ€" age, my cousin, Hugh Fernley (with the exception of Dr. Adair, the sole guest invitâ€" ed to the wedding), was already located ; and the two young men were standing toâ€" gother at the door of the church when, upâ€" on the following morning, we arrived there. Ihad not seen my lover distinetly upon the previous evening, for during bis moâ€" mentary visit the lamp burned low in our little hall. But now, as, in the clear light of a sunny April morning, he advanced to meet us, I was much startled by the alterâ€" ation which a fortnight‘s absence had wrought in his appearance,. HMe looked pale ard worn; but in addition to this, there was, I thought, a change in his exâ€" pressionâ€"an indefinable peculsrity about his whole aspect, which alarmed me. Whose passions not his masters are ; Who envies nore that chance doth raise, Or vice? who never understood How deepest wounds are given by praise, Nor rules of state, but rules ot good ; Who hath his life from errors freed ; Whose conscience is his strong retreat; Whose state can neither flatterers feod, Nor ruin make oppressors great ; Who God doth late and early pray, More of his grace than gifts to leud; And entertains the harmless day With a religious book or friend. How happy is he born and taught That serveth not another‘s will !â€" Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his utmost skill ; Whose soul is still pr(:fmrod for death ; Untied unto the worldly care Of public fame or private breath; This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise, or fear to fall 6. Lord of himself, though not of lands ; And, having nothing, yet hath all. ‘Dear Herbort, you are ill!‘ T exc‘aimed, as, the salutations over, we turned to enter the church. ‘Oh no! I am not," he replicd hastily, drawing my hand through his arm, and passing beneath the porch. But stooping down when halfâ€"way up the aisle, he added in a whisper: ‘Don‘t be alarmed, dearest, but things are all wrong at my place near Madrid, and I‘m anxious to be off. We must go to Spain at once. Come! let us be quick and get married; and thon T‘ll bear my flower, my tender Llossom, to the sunny south.‘ The forms of endcarment employed is the last sentence were not such as Herbert lad beon accustomed to address to me, and I did not quite like them. Moreover, I felt greatly disappointed, for it had been arranged that our weddingâ€"trip should have for its destination the Italian lakes; and zow it appeared we were to travel in Spain. Giving vent to my feelings of vexâ€" ation, I whispered back, as we reached the alter; ‘Then we shall have to give up Itâ€" aly 1‘ Notatall; we shall do nothing of the kind,‘ he returned with a trinmphant smile. ‘We shall go to Spain, and Italy, and Kamtchatka too.‘ There was no time to ask what he meant,| for the clergyman wasalready in his place, I and the service commenced without delay. The hour which followed was one of much 1 confusion, for, upon coming out of the church, we were informed by Mr. Fernley, to whom the travelling arrangements had. been confided, that, as he had that morning discovered, he had made a mistake about the time at which the London express from the north would pass a certain juncâ€" tion where we were to join it, and that it would be necessary for us to leave Elstonâ€" lee much carlier than we had intended. So our hurried breakfast was soon over, and a hasty leave taken of mamma. Acâ€" companied by Dr. Adair and Hugh, who had promised to see us as far as the juncâ€" tion referred to, we were off, almost before we knew it, upon the first stage of our weddingâ€"tour â€"Upon entering the carriage, my lusband had, of course, placed himâ€" self by my side, whilst my cousin and the «doctor had taken the. seats immediately opposite to us, and I had scarcely had time to regain my composure, after the bustle and excitement which had attended our abrupt departure fromâ€" home, when it ’mqfindiatnrbed by the singular conâ€" duct of the latter. Fixing his eyes upon Mr. St. Julien‘s face, the physician appeared to be studying him closely, and putto him question after question, as if to draw him into conversaâ€" tion. . I could not attribute this to jealousy, for thore was no s‘gn ofthe existence of A Teorrible Wedding Trip. THE HAPPY LIFE. BY SIR HENRY WATTON. POETRY. DUNDALK, MARCH 22, 1877. We had to wait a fow minutes at the station; gnd whilst Herbert, apparently glad to efixpe further impertinent observaâ€" tion, promenaded the platform with Hugh, Dr. Adair drew me a little aside, and placâ€" ing his hand upon my arm, he said, in a tone of much solicitude: ‘Pray, tell me, do you notice anything peculiar about Mr. St. Julien‘s aspect this morning ? ‘ ‘Excuse me,‘ I interrupted angrily: ‘but I cannot listen to such remarks about my husband‘s appearance, Dr. Adair,‘ And turning away with a feeling of relief at his assurance that Herbert was not unwell, but of ext:eme annoyauce at his last reâ€" mark, I was about to leave him. ‘I will say nothing more to ofiend you, Mrs. St. Julien,‘ said the doctor, following me with an apology. And immediately introducing another subject of conversaâ€" tion, he drew my attention to a cord whith ran along at the tops of the carriages, and extended the whole length of a train near which we wers standing. This, he exâ€" plained to me, was a signal which any porson might use who desired to stop the train when in motion between one station and another, And whilst I listened with a cold politeness, which was the effect of my previous displeasure, he carefully pointed out to me the manner in which it was to be worked. My goodâ€"bye to Dr. Adair had not been a very warm one; and just as the train was upon the point of starting, a sudden remorse came over me. â€" Letting down the sash, I looked out of the window with the intention of signing him a more friendly farewell. As I did so, a head was hastily drawn into the next carriage. An absurd fancy seized me that it was his, and in orâ€" der to dissipate it, 1 turned to the platform. ‘Oh doctor! do you think he is ill?‘I inquired in return, alarmed by my friend‘s serious manner, and look of disquietude. Searcely had he finished his instructions, when the express rushed into the station ; and in another instant Herbert and I had taken our places in a carriage which we were glad to have been abla to secure for ourselves alone. that feeling; but I began to feel seriously annoyed with what I considered his rudeâ€" ness, especially when I saw that Herbert noticed and disliked his obtrus‘ve attention. That he did so was evident, for whilst he replied to all his questions very quictly, he seemed to grow uneasy beneath the fixity of the doctor‘s gaze, and once or twice I caught him returning it with a resentful smile. ‘Well, no ; I do not think that,‘ he repliâ€" od meditatively ; * but, butâ€"you will excuse me, I hopeâ€"but I fancy he seems more excited than the occasion warrants; and Hugh stood alone where we had left him ; and though my eyes rapidly seanned every portion of the station, Dr. Adair was nowhere to be seen. Calling my husband to the window, and pointing to the dissapperring platform, and the solitary figure of my cousin, I asked what he thought could have become of the physician. â€" And then, at the risk of being langhed at, I told him of the impression I had that the head I had momentarily seen protruded from the adjoining carriage was Dr. Adair‘s. ‘No, no; it was not; I know better than that," was the reply I received, in a tone which startled me by its vehemence; then drawing ime back into the carriage, Mr. St. Julien closed the window with a bang. Then stooping down and bringing his face to a level with my own, he added in a loud whisper: ‘I‘ll tell you what; that man‘s the devil, and I‘m glad he‘s gone.‘ I was so thunderstruck by these words, and by Herbert‘s singular and unloverlike manner, " that T sat staring him in silent surprise, wondering how he could have allowed his resentment at Dr. Adair‘s conduct to have carried him so far. But ifT expeeted any apology, I was doomed to disappointment: none followed, and Herbert himself appearâ€" ed to be quite unconscious that ho had given me occassion for offence. After sitâ€" ting for a considerable length of time, with his gaze directed through the window, and his brows knit, as though in deep thought, ho rose, and without taking any further noâ€" tice of me, drew out alarge travellingâ€"bag, which he had insisted tpon having placed beneath the seat at the further end of the carriage. This he unlocked, and, whilst I still gazed at him in indignart astonishâ€" ment, proceeded ‘o extract from it whatapâ€" peared to be an heterogercous mass of rubâ€" bish ; and selecting from amongs! it a brilâ€" liant searlet and white cricketingâ€"cap, he placed it upon his head, with the peak turned towards tke back; then, seating himself in front of me, he asked how I liked it. Trembling, as an indefinite terror was creeping over me, I replied, that it was ‘very pretty;‘ and stretching out my hand, with a pretence at a playfulness I did not feel, I aitempted to adjust it corâ€" rcctly upon his head. i ‘I don‘t look in the least like myseif, { don‘t 1?" he repeated, bursting into a lonud ‘Let it alone!‘ he exclaimed angrily, seizing my hand with a rough grasp. ‘Don‘t you see that it‘s more like a turban that way 2 And as we‘re going to Turkey, we must do do in Turkey in as the Turkeys do.‘ ‘Going to Turkey! What do yon mean, dear Herbert? I cried in serious alarm. ‘How can we go to Spain, and Italy, and Turkey, and yet go back to England in a month, as we promised mamma to do ? And why do you speak so strangely, Herâ€" bert? Oh, Herbert, you are ill!l I am sure of it,‘ I continued, burstinginto tears. ©You are so dreadfully pale, and you don‘t act or look in the least like yourself.‘ TORONTO I looked at my husband in dismay. Was he drunk ? or what was the matter with him? *Herbert, Herbert!‘ I cried, shaking in every limb, as a dreadful susâ€" picion suggested itself, ‘please, please, don‘t frighten me so! Yon know very well that you never had any other wife than myself. Why will you persist in saying such odd things ?" ‘Was it a diddleâ€"diddle darling, then!‘ exclaimed my companion, his excitement evidently roused to a high pitch by the exâ€" pression of my alarm. â€"And throwing his arms around me, he continued, in a loud and jaunty tone: ‘Don‘t ery, Ada; we are going to visit our estates, you know, one laugh. ‘Ha, ha! that‘s good. Probably, me,that the signalâ€"cord ran along only one then, I look like a Chinaman? and lowerâ€" side of the train, and that it might possibly ing his voice again to the mysterious tone not be on that towards which Ihad moved. in which he had already twico addressed The idea turned mo sick with apprehenâ€" me, he added : ‘Do you know, loveâ€"don‘t sion, for on this sole chanee, as I imagined, mention it on my account, pray, but I had rested my fate ; my husband immediately a leiter this morning from the Emperor of taking the seat I hid vacated, and thus China, in which he tells me that three | placed himself between me and the oppoâ€" large estates of mine, at Pekin, have been | site window, repeating, with much emphaâ€" burned to the ground by the natives.

You shall have a palace of pewls, and I‘ll crown you like a queen, for I‘m as rich as Criesus. â€" Rich! rich! rich 1‘ The last words rose to a shrill seream, and Mr. St. Julien‘s arms moved in wild gesticulations as he uttered them. I was placed. In all innocence and unnâ€" suspicion I had that morning married this man; and now I was alone with him in a compartment of the express train ! What was to be done? With an air of as much unconcern as I could assume, I took up a Railway Guide which lay by my side, and whilst turning its pages with apparent carelessness, consulted it with the deepest anxiety in order to learn at what staiion the train would first stop. To my dismay. I found that at least ar hour must elapse before there would be any chance of eseape ; and I could only rosolve to remain perâ€" feeily quict and selfâ€"possessed, and to pray that Herbert might not in the meantime become violent. â€" My rosolution was soon pat to a severe test. I was with dificulty striving to make a soothing reply to a reâ€" mark whichhe had just made, when, with a shrill whistle, the train rushed into the darkness of a long tunnel. .. Another inâ€" stant, and I was cowering in abject terror in a corner of the carriage, for, above the reverbcrating thunder of the train, had risen a sound which made my flesh creep as I listened. . A strange unearthly laugh, ending in a wild shriek, was uttered close My hormble suspicion passed into a horâ€" rible certainty. _ In that instant, a great change passed over me. My courage and spirits rose to meet the emergency, and from a timid, helpless girl, I was transâ€" formed at once into a woman strong and selfâ€"dependent. â€" Collecting my faculties, T endeavored to grasp the situation in which by my side, ollowed, almost ere it was ended, by another, and yet another. To my terrified imagination, hours instead of minutes elapsed before the train glided out again into the blinding daylight. Asit did so, I glanced at Herbert, and perccived that he had now grown perfectly calm. There was, however, a new expression in his eyes, which warned me to keep full possession of all my powers of mind. ‘I say, Ada, he remarked presently, bending forwards, and again addressing me by the name which was not mine, ‘I‘ve got such a capital idea; it‘ll amuse you, I‘m sure. I‘ve just decided upon paying a visit to the Cyclops, and I. know they‘d take it as a great compliment if my wife lad only one eye like themselves. . Ha, ha! isn‘t it a good joke? You won‘t mind it, will you? The last question was asked in a conciliâ€" gtory tone, but as he spoke, I observed the blade of an open penknife glittering in his hand. With a palpitating heart, but a strong endeavor still to retain my selfâ€" possesion, I sought about for some method of escape. . The train was still going at full onot.u;h wealth is collected by a disregard speed, whirling with lightning rapidity | of every enjoyment save that of wallowing past the minor stations, whilst the ont 2t in meanness, death comes to finish the which it was to stop was yet, as I knew, ‘work; the body is buried in a hole, the far away.

Whilst thus speaking, I slipped into a seat nearer the window, for I had been ocâ€" cupying one in the centre of the carriags, and, as I did so, the thought occurred to, $1 per year in Advance. ‘Oh, very well; I dare say you are right,‘ I replied, with the nonchalence which was becoming momentarily more difficult to maintain. â€" ‘But, Herbert, dear, you know we are a long way off the counâ€" try yet, and if you don‘t object, I should prefer waiting until we are a little nearer.‘ Whilst offering this new suggestion, I earelessly placed my hand upon the sash of the window, and was just about to lowâ€" er it, when a strong grasp was laid upon my outstretched arm. (To BE CONCLUDED IN OUR NEXT Is3UE.) According to an official statement of the Servian Minister of War, the Servians lost 8,000 killed and 20,000 wounded during the late war. A horse was stolen from the etables of MeceDougall & Broomfcld, of Galt, last Tuesday night week. The Colorado potato bug has made its appearance at Bremen, having been im ported with goods from New York. The New York Herald reports having received advices from Stanley announcing the completion of the survey of Lake Tanâ€" ganylka. A remarkable decroase of pauperism is reported from Manchester, England, the number of paupers having been 18,683 in 1870, and 4,611 in 1876. Thirty cases of emallâ€"pox Troy, N. Y,, have been traced to a masquerade ball at which it is supposed costumes infected with the disease were used. Tusr Montana legislature has changed the name of Little Big Horn river to Custer river, in memory of the brave cavairy lead»â€" er who met his death on its banks. No less than 8,668,582,100 yards of cotton picce goods were exported from the United Kingdom in the year 1876. This is the largest quantity ever exported in a year, The Chicago Journal complainist that it is coldest just about the time a man has decided to get up and build a fire. The whole country should be heated by steam. An Egyptian manâ€"o{â€"war cruising in the Gulf of Suez, to break up the slave trade, took fire, and was entirely destroyed. There were 420 men on board, of whom 400 were saved, including all the Europeans. An explosion occurred on the 8th in Worâ€" cester colliery, near Swansea. All the miners were at work at the time. The number lost is not yet known. Sixteen bodies have already been taken out, and it is thought there are six more in the pit. Mr. Blake‘s Bill to suppress gambling in steamboats and railway cars provides that persons playing for money at threeâ€"card monte, cards, dice, or with othor instrument or device for gambling, shall be liable to punishment for any term less than a year, under a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. Confederates are to bo punished the same as principals. A Dublin paper prints a letter addressed by an Irishman in New York to a board of town councillors in the former city, petiâ€" tioning them to dissuade all intending emâ€" igrants from leaving Ireland for America in these times. â€" Me claims to know scores of his countrymen to be starving there at present who had never needed the necesâ€" saries of life in their native land; that trade was hopelessly stagnaxnt, and the public confidence destroyed. How to Get Rucss.â€"Nothing is more easy than to grow rich. â€" It is only to trust nobody, to befriend none, to get everything and save all you get, to stint ourselves and everybody belonging to us, to be the friend of no man, and have no man for your friend, to heap interest upon interest, cent upon cent, to be mean, miscrable, and desâ€" pised, for some twenty or thirty years, and riches will come as surcly as disease and disappointment. â€" And when pretty neawrly enough wealth is collected by a disregurd The Council met at the Town Hall on Monday the 12th day of March, 1877, pursuant to adjournment.
