(Continued.) The plan thus suggested was promptly carried out, and in due time the new lodger arrived in the person of Mr, Frederick Stoue, .a dicidely genteclâ€"looking young wan of oncâ€"andâ€"twenty years of age. â€" He was quite the young iman of the day ; habitually spoke of Limself as "a fellow ;" was abundautly selfâ€"posssessed and selfâ€" satisfiecd, larded Lis conversation with "awfully," *Jolly," and other popular slangâ€"isms ; smoked, "took his glass," adupted a langour and cynicism of manner, and professed the philosophy of the modâ€" ern gilded youthâ€"*there is nothing new, and nothing true ; and it don‘t matter." He was of imsdium height, had a good fignure, and was fairly wellâ€"looking, though there was an expression about the counteâ€" ance which, to one skilled in reading such signs, would have indicated that under the surface polish there was an active sclfishâ€" ness aud latent vind.ctiseness of character. His "get up," as ho would have called it, was upon the whole tolerably neat, aud would have been evinpletely so but for a too loud and large display of jewellery. Every finger on the right hand and two on ) 1e left, were ringed, some of them knuekle deep ; watelâ€"guard was of unnecessary calleâ€"like proportioas, and the lockets and cuarms aituehed to it were also too large is well as too numerous, while his studs ind sleeveâ€"liuks decidâ€"dly erred on the ame side,.

Foaming and dashing against the shore ; Ever and ever they rose and fell, With heaving and sighing and mighty swell; And deep secmed calling aloud to deep, ‘ Lest the murmuring waves should drop to sleep. In summer and winter, by night and by day, ‘ Thro‘ cloud and sunshine holding their way ; Oh! when shall the ocean‘s troubled breast Calmly and quietly sink into rest? Oh! when shall the waves‘ wild murmuring cease, And the mighty waters be hushed to peace? It cannot be quietâ€"it cannot rest ; ‘ There must be heaving on ocean‘s breast The tide must ebb, and the tide mast f ow Whilst the changing seasons come and go. Still from the depths of tat hidden store There are treasures tossed up along the shore; Tossed by the billowsâ€"then seized aguinâ€" Carried away by the rushing main. ° "There is sorrow on the seaâ€"it cannot be quiet."â€" EYE HARWOOD. â€"Naval and Military Gazette POETRY, i Messed day, gholl pass away, wish shull turn to peace, the waves rhull couse, pest und durkest bed r up her deud, vigut of humaen wees, For a time all woent pleasantly. In the estimation alike of himself and of the Harwoods, Mr. Stone proved himself ‘quite the gentieman." He was, on all ocoasions ‘the pink of politeness," and particalarly wiceâ€"spoken, while in all that partained to domestic arrangements he acted in a reâ€" gardlessâ€"ofâ€"cost style that gave Mrs. Hurâ€" wood a great seuse of his werlth and liberality, _ Though he had pronounced h s af artments "all that could be desired," h> soon added materially to their equipâ€" ment, especially in the way of establishâ€" mout. Mentining in an offâ€"hand way tiint he was fond of music and played a litte, he hired a piano, and with various soodâ€"humoured remarks, he gradually disâ€" carded the pictures with which Mrs. Harâ€" wood had sought to adorn the walls, aad replaced thom by a larger collection of a uuch more exoensive aad ambitions charseter. _ H» loaded the mantlepiece with kniekknsckery, and "set up" various olegart bachelor appliances. _ His mother frequently sent hine hampers of good things, and when these arrived the w »nl.l} prepare a feast to which Mrs. Haurâ€" woud, Eve, and young Jim were bidden in ‘ the most ~fulle manner "invite llilmclf"l to spead an evening with thom in r.lwir! iving room, joining in thcir simple t:o”(‘ and plain supper, and in a general way making good his prommise to regard himsel{ I as "cne of the famely." â€" Proficieney in the ; profession to which he was articled was only to be attained by combining home â€"tudy with office practice, and Mr. Stone had been liberally supplied with ‘...ud-| somely bound copies of the leading text books and authorities. To see her‘"young gentleman" at study when he spent an evening at home iu his own room, was in Mrs. Harwood‘s opinion "‘qute a picturs" â€"and his preparations on these occasions were > certainly of a rather picturusquel character. He arrayed himself in all the glory, an especially gorgeous dressingâ€"gown, with smoking cap and slippers to match, and set out his table with a bronze reading lamp ofclassic design and a full display of an expensive set of drawing iustruments.l Thus attired and equipped, and with a; cigar in his mouth, and a glass of wine at‘ his elbow as "aids to reflection," he would x kait his brows, and assume an "awfully" yrave and abstracted air which greatly imâ€" 1 pressod Mrs. Harwood with a sense of the difficulties cf enginecring and the deterâ€" | mination of her "young gentleman" to‘ overeome them or perish in the attempt. She even ventured to throw out a motherâ€" | ly hint upon the dangers of inyury to he;:ltll‘ from over application. â€" Bat she need nct have been alarmed, for though he kupt‘ the apparatus of study on show throughout the evening, he really made very little use of them, usually abandoniag them in fav. ‘ our of soms sensation novels, a branck of The new constitation of the Harwood household had undoubtedly latent evil in it, avd presently the evil began to work. That Mr. Stone was "taken" with Eve would have been patent even to Mrs. Harâ€" wood, but that to her unsophisticated imâ€" agination it would have appeared preâ€" posterous to supposethat a real gentleman ike him conld have, as she would have etâ€" pressed it, "any idea" of a girl in Eve‘s position in life. Almost any other woman would, with her opportunities for obserâ€" vation, have seen that much of the liberâ€" ality of tone and niceress of manuers which she set down to sheer goodâ€"nature aud high breeding was really indueed by & selfâ€"seeking desire to gain the admiraâ€" ‘nnn of Eve, and confirm in Aer mind the impres sion thnt he was * quite the gentleâ€" ‘ man;" and would Lave been absent had i there beea no pretty girl in the way. _ As a mautter of fact the great part of the geuâ€" | lerusity and niceness displayed was bestowâ€" \ ed up m Eve.â€" She was a meinber of her aliapel ghoir, had a fuirly good voice, a ‘ natural love for amasic, aud an aptitady for: uc juiring musical knowledge. _ Mr. Stone was nâ€"tloug in doscovering this, and takâ€" ing e disgovery as his keyâ€"noto he disâ€" lcuun.ed with a neat touch of sentimentality upon community of taste, winding up by n preitily expressed hope that Eve would allow him to give her a lesson or: two on thie piano, as he was sure she would soon learu to play. â€" Withous pausing to consult any one, Eve, blushing wit‘t pleasure, aeâ€" cepted the offer. â€" She also ‘freely availed reading that wus influitely more t> hi‘s liking thaun the perusal of scieutific works, and in which he was much better "up" than he was ever likely to be in the theories of engineering. and everything that could ibe desired, he said in reply to Mrs. Harwood‘s anxiously expressed willingness to do anything furâ€" ther that lay in her power to. make them to his liking, "I shall soon make myself at home," he added. smilingly, "so 1 hope ‘you‘ll treat me as one of the family, aud that sort of thing you know," and ‘as he spoke, he regarded Eve with a look that was at least as bold as respecttul. _ As to terms, hesaid in the same light tone, that would be all right, he would leava tha; to Mrs. Harwood, only asking her not to do any injustice to herself in the matter, Iu this pleasant fashion the business preâ€" ‘ liminagries were settled, and Mr. Stone took up his abode in the innocent, happy: little household to which he was ‘ destined to be as an evil gemius, and introduce such ‘ stormy passion and bitter misery, as â€"‘ applied to themselvesâ€"had been undreamâ€" 1 ed of in the homely philosophy of its in 1 mates. “ 2.€C oL of u suggestion of hin, »to the.effoet that she was to regard the instrument as entirely atâ€" her disposal whenever she could find time to practice during the hours in which he was at business. She wa painstaking aod perseveriog, and mad« such progress that in the course of a few months she was able to ascompany herself correctly, and to play ordizary pieces afte two or three times trying over. She had wisdom enough not to boast of this acâ€" complishment in quarters where such a bcast, coming fiom one in her position, would be likely to provoke hatred, malice, ' and all uncharitableness, but in her heart ot hearts she was very proud of it, nct only for the genuine pleasure which it afforded her, but also as being a distineâ€" tively ladyâ€"like sequirement.. Mrs. Harâ€" wood had been taught to regard novel reading as wicked, and at Grst forbade Eve to avail herself of Mr. Stone‘s gallantly made offer of the unristricted run of his I bookshelves. â€" The "young gentleman," however, respectfally submitted to her that ‘ her views on this point were founded n> prejudice. Some of the best of men and l women, he pointed out had employed th> novelas & form of tenching, had in that shape given their wisest thoughts to the world, and appealed most successfully to the noblest feelings cf the human heart. ' By such reasoning he soon succeded in " overcoming her objection to novel reading in the abstract, and then, immediately ‘ taking an nufair advantage of his yictory, proceeded tolend Eve novel after nove!, of widely different type from those of which he had spoken when overesming the seruples of Mrs. Harwoodâ€"flashy, fiesh: sensational novels, written upon the plan of neroising sin through three or four hunâ€"» dred pages, and condemming it as a mortal "tag" on the last page ; full of sound and fury, glare and glitter, fulse life, false cuaracter, falso sontiment. . They were cortaialy not such works as any true frend of Eve‘s would have plseed in her hands but the very innocenee and ignorance th « might at a first glaves have appeared t place her in the greatest danger proved he: safeâ€"guard. _ The moralty (â€"r want o morality) of the books was for the most n« . meaningless to her as the high soundin phraseology in which it was freqnent‘y euched. â€" This reading was a new farm 0 ‘ exeitemont to her, and shesimpty gallopad through the books forthe plot‘s sake. ‘lhe worst practical harm they did her consisted in the exteut to which they drew her awey trom and~ sugiested a distaste for th ‘ household ocenpations in which it had pre viously been her greatest pleasure to Assi "mother," â€" For now a large proportion o ‘ her timne was spent in novel reading and pianoâ€"forte playing. â€" In other matters too, she began to assume what she conceived to be "ladyâ€"like" airs, and Mrs. Harwood, though she had failed to see the incvitable tendoncy of the causes that had pruduuod‘ the result, now saw with sorrow that Eve was an altered girl ; was more vain an« frivolons and worldly, «nd less conteute« and manageable than she had ever been prior to the advent of the "gentieman lodâ€" ger," or than at that time it had seemes p ssible to her foster mother she coul. ever become. By keeping his eirs opeu Mr. Stoue could often make himself ae | qlmiutcd with Eve‘s movements out o. ‘ doors, and after a time he begaun to ava ‘ himself of such information for the pur pose of gaining opportun ties of, as he put it, "Jciag escoit duty," and as might have been expected in such a town as Kuights ford this gave rise to gossipâ€"gossip which reached buth the ears of Mrs. Harwood and her son. Even at this poiut Mrs. Harwo«d could not see for herself the m tâ€" ive that underlay all Mr, Stone‘s "niceâ€" ness." She would still have thougLt i preposterous to snppose that a real gentleâ€" m in "had any idea" of a girl like Eve, but at the same timeâ€"so she now reasoned with herself â€"it was evident that thi "niceness" which she took it was an usâ€" ual and natural part of the chavacter of ® real gentleman had somewhat turned the head of the inexperienced Eve. _ So much was ovideat, she argned, and it wis for her to take some action in the matter ; but while ske was mentally debating what particular action would be best, whether to give Evea "talking to," or drop Mr. Stone a delicate hint of the possible harm his "niceness might unconscionsly lead to; or without speaking too quictly and pasâ€" s‘vely, keep the pair asunder as much as possible, leaving Eve to infor the reason for hor conductâ€"while she was stili in her simple way weighing the respective merits of these plans, matters were brought to a suddeb, and to her a tragical crisis, However shortâ€"sighted Mrs. Harwood | imagination that he had made an impresâ€" migzht have been, Eve Lerself hnd never | sion, not upon hber heart. _ In her heart been ia doubt as to the meaning of Mr.)Jim still reigned supreme, but a cloud hbad Stome‘s attentions to herself in particular, | arisen between them that so blinded them or true explanation of much of that "niceâ€" | that for the time be:ng they could not read ness" to the other members of the {family | thair own true feelings. about which "mother" was wou‘t to talk.| Jim, too, had rightly interpreted tie Before he had epoken a word in the way of | meaning of Mr. Stone‘s attentions to Eve, direct love making, or that, if challenged, | and had by his manner shown that he roâ€" could not bave been fairly put down to hisi sented hem. A herrty and mutual detesâ€" supposed charaeteristic of niceness, she ) tation sprang up between the $two young knew instinetively, but ‘more the lesâ€" | fellows ; and as each spoke disparagingly certainly, that he was in love with her.‘ of the ether to Eve, sho was often placed How she was affected by the knowledge,lin a difficult position. Mr. Stcno nickâ€" what, it analyzed, her inner feelings would | named Jim, " Bruin," and spoke of hm have amounted to, she would herself have as a "clod," a course, common, ungentleâ€" found it dificult to siy, had anybody put‘ manly fellow, in whom it was gross preâ€" to her the question.. But no one had siptctioato raise his eyes to any lalyâ€"like queâ€"tioned her, and she lrd avoided subâ€"» girl. Jim returned the comp‘emeut by jeoting herself to, selfâ€"exumination. She dubbing theâ€"other Mr. Gadly, und spe.kâ€" reccived the attentions freely enough, aud ing of him as a mere tulor‘s damay, an waes| unduubtedly, isZuvaeed as well as insignificaut, ginge:rLread sort of crecture, TORONTO | dattered by them. Theyfhad the effect of leteloping whaterer of vauity had been latent in her character. To he “lad.v-likc"‘ was now the clief though unexprossed object of her thoughts, nnd her idea of beâ€" ng ladyâ€"like rcall : meant to be afacie! ; to dopt a mincing tone and guit, value finery and flippery in drese, and feel ashsmed of what she ought to have felt proud ; of heâ€" ing "eaught" in her eourse working a; 10 ). or helping "mother" with the household l washing or the like. This general feeling ‘ was specially strengthened in Eve by an udvoit stroke of Mr. Stone‘s. â€"As nearly | every cue about the works knew a« much of Eve‘s story as she cid herself, Mr. Stone was not long in becoming sequainted witl it, and by a series of appurently chanee remurks and ivuocent questions, nope ef which amounted to a positive or pointed: suggestion, he contrived to rtart in the girl‘s mind the idea thit she might proâ€" bably beâ€"that she probably wasâ€"a "lady born." Tue notion was of a nature that gould cn‘y cause Ler vesation of spirit, but it opened up a wide and interesting field 0: speculation to ber, and once imp anted in her mind it grew with wh it it fod upon ’uhtll she was so full of:t, that she could not refrain from speaking of it, even to Mr. ;Swne who was not slow to avail him el! of the opportnnities for flattery which it afftorded. He had a patural gift for flattery and his cleverly insinuated complement , uf course went to support the "Lorn lady‘ view, being to the general effect that there was something, a ladyâ€"likeâ€"ness about her which unmistakably marked her out from "the common hord, "and stam; ed her as one fitted to adorn any position. Eve brooded on the subjact by day, and dreamt of it by vight, and for the first time in her life felt miserable. She was dissatisfied and disâ€"| e ntentâ€"d, and bed a sease, which her nataâ€" ral goo‘ness of heâ€"rt made very distressiny to her, of being ungrateful towards those who Lave been to her as pareats ; to the livicg mother who still loved her so well. a :d to the memory of the dead father wh in 1 ‘e had dealt by her with such lovingâ€" k nduess, and had blessed her with his dyâ€" ing lseath. With respect to young Jim Harwood she had the feeling in a mucs stranger degree. As children, they had been as brother and sister, but as they verged towards man and wemanhood, and ‘ully realized that there was no tie between them save that of affection, the affection id upon Jim‘s side at any rate gradu»lly ‘hanged from a brotherâ€"like to a loverâ€"like iaracter,. â€" Parly from feeling assurei in se matter, and partly from a creditable hiffider.ce about making a formal proposal unt‘l he should be out. of apprenticeship, and approved Limselt a man, he bad nev r in so imamy ‘words asked her to be his awoetheart. But that he regarded her in that light, she know as well as be did, and in her heart of hearts she knew, too, that he had Lad emple justification for taking he position for granted. She had becn nroud and happy to be regarded, and thought that "there was no one lise him." The attentions and flattories of the "ge: tleâ€" man lodger," however, as we lave soon. wreught a change in her feelings, and filled her mind with day dreams of a very different charnoter from those of «hich Jim Hurwood had been the hero. _ The laiter drerms had never gone beyond the idea of a neat little home such as a sober artizan blessed with a thrifty and industrious helpâ€" mate might hope to Lave, with the posâ€" sibility in the future of Jim, who liked hi trade and was nct without ambitior, t ing to be a foreman. Those in which she now indulged ran upon the material deliglts .f being a real laly ; of ha iag a fine house fivne clothes, fine jewellry ; scrvauts to wait upon you, and perhapseven your own ‘ carriage to ride in. ‘These dreams, to d her justice, were more purely castles in the air to her than the others hud been. She hid a diin conscionsnbees of their Leing is hr ca e somewhat of the nature of a fool‘. x redise. Though she preferred letting things drift, an l evjoying the flate i s of the passing moment to subject Lorself to sellâ€"examination, the fact stll remained that she was uncertain as to the nasure of ‘ her feeling tewards Mr. Stone. Had the ; attachment between Jim Harwood and her never been other than that between bro ther and sister, she would probably by this time have been unmistakably in love with her "gentleraan" admiecr. But as matâ€" ters stood she was further from being in love with him than she was aware of. Till he had come, the van‘ity in her nature had been dormant, and her imagination but little exercised. These be had excited into activity, and it was upon her vanity and imagination that he had made an impresâ€" sion, not upon her heart. In her heart Jim still reigned supreme, but a cloud had arisen between them that so blinded them that for the time be:ng they could not read their own true feelings, a 4 Ironâ€"ma:ters are beginning to dircern merits, hitherto unsuspected, in the slag orrefuse of their blast furnaces. Till yester« lay the heaps of rough cindery material which encumbered the ground overshadowâ€" ad by tall brick chimneys, flameâ€"topped, wore regarded as rubbish of the worst sort, Jut now, as inineral wool in America, a« ilag wool in Yorkshire, and as cotton siliâ€" sate in Germany, this humbler Cinderella ateong products finds itself prized at last. Siliea, or flint, as the manufacturer knows too well, is sure to be presont in iron ore, and has to be got rid of, and for this reasoun he flings into the roaring furnace ihose cartâ€"loads of broken limestone, the lime of which unites with the silica, and runs off, 1 lava stream, leaving behind it the sale, «lle "piges" of molten iron. Quite recent‘y t was discovered that this lavaâ€"stream, till now sheer lumber, could be manipulated into a fibrous eubstance, ligkt, pliant, and bearing a remarkable similarity to wool, ind perhaps still more so to the fine strong hair of the Himalsyan shawlâ€"goat. The hot slag,by ingenious contrivances,is made while yet in a fiuid state to develop, as it trickles forth, into vitreous thromds. Of this slagâ€"yarn there are three numbers, or paalities.

She could see, too, that beneath ais anger Jim was sove at heart; and there wore times when her own heart went fondly out towards him, and when a few loving wonds from hi would Lave made ill well again between them. Dut the ween eyed monster had possession of him, ind the loving word in season was mot ipuken. â€" His bearing towards her raised a spirit of pride‘zl opposition in Eve, while, is we have said, Mr. Stone‘s uttentions Jlayed upon her vauity and imagination, mdon the whole Lis attempt to engage «er affection seemed to outward appear ance to be prospering. whom no girl of seuse or spirit gard with anzht save comtom Eve he was Litterly wroth, A German collector of statisties estimates the population of the earth at 1,340,145,000 souls, of whoin about 413,093,000 are Chrieâ€" tians, and 990,000,090 nonâ€"Christians.
