Now that he was I man and the no longer a child, she failed to discover in him many of the qualities she would have pnferred to tind in tswaethem in mm- at. True, he w“ well enough in point ot looks, and not destitute of accomplish- ments. But there wu something locking. Ihe could hardly toll what. Anyhow he was not the nun to " her outbui- It was the morning of Rose Warring's wedding day. She did not seem especial. ly joyous. The match was one of her tts. ther'a making. He had set his heart on marrying his daughter to Edward Hur- din. tho Ann of an old friend of his, equally be: t on the match. "I tell you there is do room for another," he and. “The boat is nearly sinking al. ready; besides, you will overturn it if you catch hold of it in that way, and I'm no swimmer, you see. Como, boys, pull ttwtsyr-self-preservtttion firstof all." And there were cowards enough Among them to overhear the few possessed of more man. 1y instinct, and the boat was swiftly rowed leaving Archey and his charge to take their chances amid the dangers of the flood and darkneas a: but they might. Archey was a good swimmer, and a few strokes brought him ttnd his burden in reach of tho boat. As he attempted to grasp the side, the young man who had shown so much anxiety to save himself seized an our and struck away his hand. "Huld I" cried Archey Lester, the young man who had first spoken. "keep the bout where it is." Then pulling off his coat. vest and boots, he stood, ready to spring. A piercing cry rose above the confusion. Every eye was turned toward the burning vessel. There, leaning over the upper guard, Bloody. young and beautiful girl, her face white as the (inning night robe that enveloped her form, and her arms stretched forth in ngouizcd appeal. “Full away my lads!" he called to the men M. the ours; “we have no time to waste hero." "At any rate we can take no more with safety," was the respome of another pus- acnger, a stylish youth, who, after running Mont, wild wish fright, seeking in vain to crowd himself into one after another of the previous boats, had at length succeeded in gaining a. place in the but. “Is tt certain that none are left "' said a young man who had lingered to the last before entering the boat, and whose cool, intreuid dating had saved more than one w., that night at the imminent peril of his 0WD. Tho last one was about to be shoved " and there was no time to lose ; for tloo scorching blaze which shot forth on every tide made it dangerous to remain longer in proximity to the fated vesanl. l Boat after bout had downed, filled with half-clad frightened passengers, suddenly aroused to see tlwmsclvcl in deadly peril. The scene wan grand and terrible. A majestic steamer, wrapped in ihunes, was the centre of a bright circle of light, within whose dazzling glam naught was visible but the turLid waters of the swollen river.

The city of Pesthlms almost accomplish- ed the task otubtsining an unlimited supply of nearly boiling water, which will he avail- able for public and private use. The ready heated fluid is obtained from a deep Ar. tesian well, from which, when completed, the water will issue in a mighty fountain to the height of nearly fifty feet. The deepest nrtesien well in the world has hitherto been that at Paris. which measures 1,794 feet in depth. The Peeth well has already nttnined a depth of 8,120 feet, and will, when bored the required depth, more than double the depth of its Paris rival. The water now issuing from the bowels of the earth, thtee.t'1ftlss of a mile below the surface. has a temperature of 161 degrees Fuhrenheit, and the work will be prosecuted until s wnrrnth of 178 degrees Fahrenheit is obtained. The manning of these figures will be better understood when it is remain-i bend that the termperUurts of a hot bath is 98 degrees, while that of boiling water is‘ 212 degrees. The daily supply is already 175,000 gallons, s quantity which will be greatly increased " the enhanced depth.

But one did, not many months after. Who the parties were, we leave tho readers to guess. Edward Harding hung his head in sil. ence. Rose had not seen him on that dreadful night; nor had he recognized her as he Mood in the blazing light of the burn- ing vessel, for he had not seen her since she was quite a little girl. It was easy now to understand his trepidation at their tirst meetiqg after. "It is he, the dastardl" said Archey, looking the abashed bridegroom stcrnly in the face, "who not only abandoned the woman he would now swam; to protect to the threatening wave in which she was struggling, but like the coward he is struck down the hand that was trying to save her! What faith can be put in his oath ?" "And what fault have you to find with him, I should like to know ?" flarcd up the old gentleman. Arclwy's tace was a trifle pale as ho ad. vnnced to take the place assigned him. He greeted Rose formally, who was about presenting her future husband, when a. flush of mingled surprise and anger over- sprond Archy's features, “In that the man to whom you wouldin- trust your daughter's happiness?" he said, turning almost fieree1y on Mr. Warring. "Ahl hero Comes the stragglcr f." cried Mr. Waring, turning about as Archey on- tered. "Hurry up,good fellow-I fen-ed I should have to be your substitute." "Timo's up !"sm'd Mr. Warring, who was a. very punctual man. "We can't wait fur luggards. I must do the giving away my- self, I suppose." The minister appeared with his book, and the ceremony was about to begin. The hour came, and everything was randy. The weddlug party entered the little church, and only waited the ttrnvtrl of Mr. Luster, who Wm to gm: away the lnr'de. It wasn't exactly to economize time, Rose had a fancy, that Mr. Lester stayed away ull the last moment. During all his visits he had taken special pains to avoid meeting Edward Hardin, to whom he know Rose was engaged; and Rose had felt just a little bit a secret pleasure at the thought that Arc-hey Lester didu't quite relish the idea of seeing her married to (mother. "In his letter: N promised to meet us at the church," said Mr. Warring. "You see, he comes on tho morning train, and will barely have time to meet us there. But come; I know how long It takes to dress a bride, and before you're ready it'll be time to go." Archy Lester, since the night he swam ashore through the darkness, with one arm, supporting Rose Waring with tho other, had, of course, become acquainted with her family, and though he lived at a dis- tanee, he had more than once taken occas- ion to visit them. “That's hardly grateful," total-ted Mr, Warring. looking up sharpl y. "I hope he won't come," said Rose, after a long pause. Rose gave a. little sigh and was si. lent. "I'm sure I don't see how we could do less," replied the old gentleman warmly. q don't know who can hare a better right to give a. woman away than the man who has saved her life." "l-I am almost sorry," said Rose to her father, as they sat at breakfast, "that we invited Mr. Lester to be present to. day." I But Rose was I dutiful and affectionate daughter; and her father, as we have slid, having set. his heart on the match, she yielded to his wishes, doing her barbie conceal whatever of secret repugnnnce she may have felt. Asher portion would be handsome. Edward Hardin found dim. culty in accedmg to the family arrange- ment on his part. Hardin's side. At his first meeting with Rose he even ”and B little startled l and it was not until after some time that he became quite at his case in her presence.

I There was in fact a large reduction on the controllable expenditure of 1876.7 in com- parison with that of 1878-4. During the intervening three years money had to be borrowed to pin y for the vast obligations undertaken by the late Government, and interest on the money so borrowed accrued in the year 1876-7 to the amount 'of 01,- 072,791 in excess of what had to be paid for interest in 1773-4, In 1876-7, too, the sum of £824,873 had to he paid iuto the sinking fund for the extinction of the pub- lie debt, while in 1873-4 the sum payable into that fund was hut 8573.920. creating a compulsory increase of the expenditure (11876-7 over that of 1872-4 of 0314,4512 Then, again. in 1876-7 the sum of 8301,- 696 had to be paid towards the extinction of Indian titles in the North-west.or $155,. 528 in excess of the charge for that service in 1673-4. These and other similar charg- es. which had to be paid; which could not', be out down; which were not the act of l the present Ministry; created a charge of over 02,000,000 in 1876.7 that did not exist in 1873-4. The present Ministry re. trenchod so severely in 1876-7 on the charges within their contra", that not. withstanding those great additions to the e-xpenditures beyond their control. the total charges of the year were kept within $202,985 of what they stood at in 1878-4.
