He walked hurredly up and down the floor, ever and anon comparing bis watch with the clock on the wall, and eagerly seanning the faces of all the new comers, but in vain. f Meliloquoy of the Hon.

To be sure it was only an unprecedented manner of engaging a girl, but what was he to do? Mrs. Ferras expected him to bring her a waitress : there was to be a state dinnerâ€" party on the morrow, and he scarcely knew what was best to do. As he meditated,tugging at his mustache, the train gave its parting shriek. There was no farther time for deliberation. "Come on, then," he cried, making a rush for the hindermost car. â€" "T‘l risk it‘ by Jupiter1" ; Desivree followed lum, light and swift as a young fawn and the nest minute. they were in motion. There was no receeding now "Well, I‘ve been and gone and done it," | said Mr. Morrison to himself, as he glanced | fartively at the girl who sat beside him.

Grey, MARCH 6, 1879, "I never took wages before," she said. a little impulsively. "But you will have to now, I suppose ?" "What you choose to give me ?" "Twelve dollars a month ? "Yesâ€"anything !" Bob felt a little awkward. Desiree Fonâ€" taine was not in the least like the damse‘s he had that morning haggled with at the erowded intelligence office, Mr. Morrison a blundoring masculine creature though he was, was quite right about Desireo‘s face. It was pure and innocent as m child‘s, shadowed with crispy little ringlets of golden brown hair, and dimpled round the mouth ; while the blue eyes, large and soft and shy, were mostly averted. Her dress was plain even to shabbiness, and in one hand (wellâ€" shaped, though sunâ€"browned) she held the t$wo or three liitle boquets she had been unable to dispose of in the depot. "What wages do you want, Desiree ?" said Mr. Morrison, abruptly breaking the silence that was beginning to be a little awkward. Dosiree grew scarlet as the caranation in the centre of her biggest boquet. "I don‘t waut to be inquisitive," he said, "butâ€" "You want to know who I am." interâ€" rupted Desirce. "I am Frenchâ€"I came to this country because my relatives were all dead. I have an uncle here to whom 1 wrote that I=would come to. this: country, I hoped that he would meet me at the landâ€" ing of the steamer, but he . was not there. I have sought for him in vain. I can only tear that he must be dead." "But you speak English well." "Do I?" . Desiree‘s face brightened "I was at an English school near Paris for four years." all events." "I should think you might get a place as teacher." Desireo shook her head. "I have tried, I answered advertiseâ€" ments for a governessâ€"then for a seamâ€" stress, but nobody would take me, for I knew not one and had no recommendations. [ have been selling boquets for a week, but carned so littleâ€"oh so little 1 _ Sometimes I went to bed without any supper because [ had not a peuny to buy it I" Bob was silent. Somehow his heart ached for the poor young creature with the Joveâ€"like blue eyes and the frosh pink and white comlpextion. "I hope Lizzie will have the good sense to like her." he thought ; "but there‘s uo accounting for the freaks of a woman." Lt was nearly dark when they reached Olive Hill; quite so when the carriage that had been sent to the station to meet <h train, deposited them at Mrs.Foulke Ferâ€" rar‘s door. " Did you bring mo a girl, Bob?" was his sister‘s first question, was Lhurled at him through the darkness. 4 "Yes, I did." A Bob triumphantly produced Dosiree. Mrs. Ferrars eyed her keonly, seemed not displeased with her youth and blushes, asked one or two kind questions, und then delivered her over to the houseâ€" keeper, a grim old Scotch widow. "Oh, I picked her up," said Bob, evaâ€" sively. Did she have a recommendation?" "Firstâ€"rate." was the reckless answer "Written 2" "Where did you get her, Bob ?2â€"at the French intelligzence office ?" "No, verbal." "Whore dil she live last?" But Bob at this poiut went off into cestacies over the first tooth ofhis niece, a small morsel of humanity: some eight or vine months old. Mrs. Foulke Ferrars fell at onee into the trap, and Desiree‘s "reâ€" erances" were forgotten. "Upon my word, Bob," said Mr. Fer: r«rs, one day, when the dessert was placed upon the table, Desiree had withdrawn, ‘you do nothing but stare at the little parisienne! I do believe you are falling in love with her I" + "Nonsense,‘ said Mrs. Ferrars, glancing quickly up. ‘Bob is far too sensible for such a piece of Quixotism as that." "The French girl proved a quick, handy vaitrcss, ready to learn, and: singular‘y waceful, Everybody liked he», and Bob "I do not know that it would be Quixeâ€" tism," said Bob, stoutly. "She‘s certainly ‘ pretty." ‘ "She is not a lady !" "But I maintain that she is a lady ." "What absurdity, Bob !" "Well, then, will you be good eaough to tell me what constitutes a lady ?" ©Birthâ€"educationâ€"refinement." Desiree is educated and refined." "She is only a servant." "I maintain she is a lady for all that." Bob clung so resolutely to his view of the subject that Mrs. Ferrars took the first opportunity to tell her husband conâ€" fidentially that she should send Desiree away. est of all -“Oh, dear," said his wife, petulantly, "men are so stupid. Don‘t you see that Bob is falling in love with her ?" "That‘s rather hard on the poor girl,isn‘t it, to punish her for Bob‘s folly 2" Mrs. Ferrars‘ face grew rigid. "I sh:all discharge her," she said. "A servant ! as no business to be prottier and more attractve than others of her cast, and I saw Bub taiking to her last nig‘:t in "What for ?" ejoculated Foulke Ferrars, open mouthed. _ _ ONTA That was all that was said on the subâ€" joct, and Mrs. Ferrars began after a day or two to hope that her brother had forâ€" gotten his penchant for the pretty French waitress. "Bob you know you are getting too fond of her. ‘I have some regard for the poor girl‘s> character, if you have none." the garden." So when Mr. Robert Morrison came home from the city the next night, a tall, frockl: d faced young man, a nephew of the Bcotch housekeeper, was waiting on the table and he looked in vain for the light footed blueâ€"eyed French girl. ‘"Where is Desiree ?" was his first quesâ€" tion. "I have discharged her." Bob‘s brow grow dark, but Mrs. Forrars met his eye with a bold defiance. ly, "I suppose I can turn away a servant when I please." "Where has she gone ?" "I do not know nor care." "And econsequently you imagined that I should not be ablo to discover her whereâ€" abouts. . You will find that your procauâ€" tions have been in vain." Just .@a. fortnight after that there was another state dinnerâ€"party, and the freckleâ€" faced young man waited. Bob did not come up until the last train, and arrived in time for dessert, with its red and golden wings, peaches and temples of tinted ice. With hiin came another guest, unexpectâ€" edly detained. â€" Mr. Fabilion, the Freuch banker, in whose honor the Mrs. Ferrars‘ dinner had been specially given. "Desiree Fontaine is a girl amply able to take eare of her own character. You have done a cruel and unteeling thing, Lizzio.® He was a dignificd, white haired old man, whose wealth had made him neither a:â€" rogant nor assuming. You must pardon my want of punctuality," said the old gentleman, with his graceful foreign bow to the lady of the house,as she welcomed him to a seat at her right hand, ‘but I have this day had a great and unexâ€" pected pleasure." "Indeed ?" cried Mrs. Foulke Ferrars, all smiles. A niece, my only surviving relative has been restored to me, We have strangely been kept apart by that fate which you Americans eall cireumstance ; I expected her in that steamer, but not until this last trip. She eould not find me my poor niece; she knew not even my name, which had been changed to meet the conditions of an eccentric bequest. Ah, the poor girl ! it is & romance, upon my word." "And why did you not bring Made moiselle Falilion with you? We should have been‘so happy," began Mrs. Ferâ€" "Pardon, madam," interrupted the bankâ€" or, ‘she is ‘mademciselle‘ no longer. â€" She was married this morning to one who has disinterestedly woo«d and won her in her humblest estate. Mrs. Ferrars was a little disappointcd. She had already begun to form plans for Bob‘s benefit. "I am married, too," observed Bub, as it were nccidentally. "You, Bob! And to whom ?" shriecked his sister. *‘To Desiree Fontaine !" Mrs. Forrars, pale as death, was just about to open her lips with a torrent of reâ€" proaches, when the old French banker suavely interposed : "This is a riddle, an enigma of which I alone chance to possess the clew. Prepare yourself, madam !â€"Desiree Fontaine is my nieeeâ€"Mr. Robert Morrison, who married her this morning before a happy accident made us acquainted with our relationship, is consequently my nephew." And M. Fabilion went on to tell the asâ€" tonished guests bow the clergyman who had perfoomed the ceremony was an old friend of his own, and yecognized the bride‘s name as that of the nieee for whom his friend had searched 5o long and so vainâ€" ly. * And you may imagine my grathication, said M. Fabilion, with the eccuricous focign bow again, "when I learned that the husâ€" band of my Desiree‘s choice wes Mr. Ferrars brotherâ€"inâ€"law." Mrs Foulke Ferrars grew red and whi‘e she hardly knew what to say, and the few hurried congratulations thit she finally stammered forth were indistinet and confusâ€" ed enough, while Bob sat by, maliciously enjoying her embarrassment. "What was this for ?"~ he asked sternâ€" Mr. Morrison took the next train back to town ; he had only come np to witness the denouement of â€" this little life romance and was impatient, bridegroom like, to reâ€" turn to Desiree. But as he made his adieu, he whispered roguishly in bus sister‘s car : "Now what do you think about what constitutes a lady ?" Ar.d Mrs. Ferrars answered blashing : "Do ‘have a little merey, Bob? How was I to koow that my waitress was the great French banker‘s niese ?" "I knew that she was a precious jewel," answered the young busband, enthusiastiâ€" cally. Nor did Mrs. Foulke Ferrars contradict ada Pacific Railway, arrived at Winnipeg on the 17th. A new locomotive for contract 15, Canâ€" TORONTO { The first thing to be learned by a boy or young mas, or anybody else having the least ambition to become a useful member _ of society, is the habit of saving. No matter llf a boy or girl has wealthy parents, each should learn to save, if for no other reason lthuu that riches are well known to "take lto themselves wings and fly away." Fow are so. wellâ€"toâ€"do as to be secure against poverty and want. The children of the wealthy classes are often miserably poor ; while men of large means have commenced Ilife without other adyantages than habits of industry coupled with the disposition to | nave. _ It is especially important that the 'children of people in moderate cireamâ€" | stances and of the poor should learn to take {oare of the money they get. A boy who is earning 2s., 8s., or more a day should imunge to save a portion of it if possible. If he can lay ‘by only 1s. a week, let him isuve that. It doesn‘t amount to much, it |is true, but it is worth saving ; it is better |u\'ed than wasted â€"better saved than thrown away for tobacco or beer or any other worthless or uscless article or object. , But the best. thing about it is that the boy :who saves 52s. a year on a very meagre salary acquires a habit of taking erre o) his | mioney which will be of the utmost value to him. . The reason why working men as a class do not get ahead faster, are not more independent, is that they have never learnâ€" ed to save their earnings. It does not watter a great deal whother a man receives a salary of five shillings a day or a pound, if he gets rid of it all duiing the week, so that there is nothing left on Saturday night, he will not get rich very rapidly. He will never have much ahead. But the individual who receives five shillings per day and is able to save a shilling, or the one getting a pound who is caretul to lay by five shillâ€" ings, is laying up something for a rainy day. Young people who expect to labour with their hands for what they mmy have of this | world‘s goods, who have no ambition or wish to become professional men, officeâ€" holders, or speculators, should by all means acquire halbits of economy, learn to save. So surely as they do this, so surely will they be able to accumulate, so surely will they be in a situation to ask no special favours. Every man wants to learn to look ontâ€"for himself and rely upon himself. Every man needs to feel that he is the peer of evcry other man, and he cannot do it if he is penniless. Money is power, and those who heve it exert a wider influemce than the destitute. â€"‘They are taore indeâ€" pendent. . Hence it should be the ambition of every young man to aecquire, and to do this he must learn to save. This is the first lesson to be learned, and the youth who cannot master it will never have anything. He will be a dependent. Kitrzp »y a Cirovrar Saw. â€"A very serious mceident occurred at Orangeville, on Feb. 29, which resulted in the death of Michael O‘Shea, of Toronto, who was em ployed by Mr. John Thompson of Torout , contractor foreutting wood for the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. Mr. O‘Shen was standing with a mate in frout of the‘ circular saw, feeding the machin», when the saw burst, causing the stick to fly forâ€" ward and hit Mr. O‘Shea in the chest with such force as to cause death in an hour aftcrwards. _ An inquest was hled in the afternoon by Coroner Carbert, when t‘e jury, after listening to the evidence of four or five eyeâ€"witnesses of jthe accident, reâ€" turned a verdict of Accidental Death. The deceased was a single man anl had leon ‘ employed by Mr. Thompson for seve years. He wos a very eareful, sober man and no blame is attach>d to any one. Tuzx Russoâ€"Turxisu.

A vast number of those who pass for good men ef ‘business are mere autometa, who act creditably because the‘r wires are pulle! by those who are really possessed of good commercial qualities. It is neccssary to distinguish these automata if the old fashioned ideas of business qualiGeations are not to be discredited in the mind of a critical observer, and we learn to look beâ€" hind them for the men who really ombody the indicpensable qua‘ities of brain and character. _ Some men â€"to parody a f:mous dicturnâ€"would appear to have an unusucl share of good luck and no business qualifications. _ ‘They suceeed because their good fortune enables them to tide over the effect of mismanagement and blunders which would ruin less favourâ€" ed individuals, or because they are in a position to comma d the services of those who can direct she a.
