Certain it is that a bright chance slipped away, and was lost in that untimely silence, "Nor the patience to bear with the inâ€" sipidities and frivolities of the scene we have just left? ‘This cuol air is welcome after that stifling atmosphere. Somehow the hum of all those voices was intolerable to me toâ€"night." "Yet they wore singing your praises." "If their heerts had been touched the lips would have been silent." "Butâ€"‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," Mr. Vale." upon,. this !" There was another silence. The little hand that lay upon his arm was perfectly still. When the vossel is full to the brim a slight touch will cause it to overfow ; bus Edna was not the woman to give that touch. Other people were eoming out into the grounds, and Edua, at her own request, was led back into the tent. Then the band played "God save the Queen," good nights were exchanged, and tha vicar‘s catriage conveyed her home to Hope "True, but it speaks of the Master, not of the servant, who merely delivers His messageâ€"a very unprofitable servaut !" "Is not that consciousness of unprofitable ness a safeguard ?" "It would be itit were to abide with me. Miss Edna, I want a friend who‘ will not seruple to remind me of the aim of my work. I want a companion who will neither discourage me nor overpraise me, but whose calm judgment may be relied It was ncearly eleven o‘clock. She had expected to find ail the members of the household gone to bed save her mother, who would be sitting up for her; but it was old Deborah who answered her gentle knock at the door, and there were lights He led her quictly out of the crowded tent, and into the cool night. Leaves were whispering around them; the gardens were shadowy and full of mystery in the moonâ€" shine ; a few lights appeared in the palace windows. For some time they moved along a gravelled walk in silence, which Edna did not care to break. She was too tired, and too glad to escape from the throng, to be in a mood for talking. "Yes, on the whole. 1 am not a clever saleswoman,and have not the art of recomâ€" mending my wares." "I suppose this has been a tiresome day to you ?" he said at last. and sounds upâ€"stairs. she were tire "A little," "A little," she answered. "I have been standing here nearly all day." "Will you put on a shawl, and come out into the fresh air ? 1 dare say somebody will take your place for a few minutes." A substitute was quickly found by Mrs. Everleigh, and Edng took Mr. Vale‘s arm with a sigh of relief. â€"surrounded by those who did their best to ruin his spiritual state by vanityâ€"well was it that his conscience still smote him sharply at times, and reminded him of One whom he served. He freoed himsel{at last, and was soon by Edua‘s side, asking with some concern if He had begun liis course with a hearty desire to be a faithful servant ; and while he was kept in a humble corner of the great field he had laboured in singleness of heart. But when he came out of the safe shadow of obscurity, the full light made him dizzy, and the praise of men hindered, instead of helping. Led here and there, into the houses of empty pleasureâ€"scekers Had he really been doing God‘s work alter all ? He knew that the only real eviâ€" denee of that work was to be found in the lives of these people ; their lips told him nothing. _ if they had indeed received the living waters through him, would they not think of the fountain rather than of the channel 2 _ It was overâ€"warm ; the air was heavy with the perfume of flowers and essences, j the Chinese lanterns were swinging overâ€" head, and the place was filled with a strange, soft glow. Clement saw Edna‘s fice looking pale and spiritual in the dreamy light, and was making towards it, when a little crowd immediately surroundâ€" ed him. William Lawford, bland and smiling, was telling him thrt Campwick owed him a heavy debt otf gratitude ; murmurs of adulation buzzed in his ears on both sides, for this was Monday, and last night‘s serâ€" mon was still fresh in the minds of his conâ€" gregation. He was far too politic to beâ€" tray the faintest sign or impatience, but the words of praise and flattery fell on m sick heart which loathed them as the full soul loatheth the honeycomb. CHAPTER XVIâ€"CONTINUED. Perkaps Eduna was more angry than the occasion warranted ; and even when her wrath subsided, it left her tired and sad and spiritless. She was overâ€"wearied, and longed for repose. At that moment her eyes chanced to rest on Mr. Vale, who was then entering the tent for the first time. Stepping Stones.

Campwick will be very desolate without you, dear Edna." "Mrs. Everleigh says she can spare me for a month, and Dr. Arran thinks Olive ought not to return till she has had time to get the benefit of seaâ€"breezes." "And you are looking as white and nerial as if you had just come from the land of spirits ! I know that this holiday is necesâ€" sary, but a month is a long time." "I hate saying goodâ€"byo," he said hastily. "Aund yet, as you say, only four short weeks will pass before we meet again. Call it twentyâ€"eight days, and it seems shorter still." "I do not like leaving home. I believe I shall pine for a sight of mother and the others. ‘This is the first time I have ever loft them." It was the first time that he had called her by her unprefixed name. After all,the farewell remained unspoken ; he held her hand in a long clasp, and then left her hurâ€" riedly, and with an abruptness that was unâ€" usual with him. "Ouly four short weeks. I hope I shall come back more substantial ; one does not like to be such an uncanny thing as you have described." He laughed a little, thon becams suddenâ€" ly grava, and stood silert. Life at a fashionable wateringâ€"place was not greatly to Edna‘s taste ; but she was in good spirits, being buoyed up hy the secret consciousness that her return was watched and longed for ; and so she contrived to enjoy everything, and induced the languid Olive to take an interest in her surroundâ€" For a fortnight she was not permilted to go out of doors, and for nearly four weeks Olive lay on a sick bed. There was great rejoicing when the latter had leave to ceme downâ€"stairs again, and then it was decided that Dr. Arran‘s advice should be followed. He had said that bath Edna and Olive stood in need of change, and recommended a month‘s sojourn at the seaside. CHAPTER XVIL.â€"THE SEASIDE HOLIDAY. Mr. Vale had called at the cottage several times to make inquiries, but it was not until Eduna was on the eve of departure that she had a few moments alone with him. He came one ovening at dusk, when Margaret and Bridget were upâ€"stairs packâ€" ing boxes, and Olive was dozing on a couch in the parlour. Edna, sole occupant of the sittingâ€"room, was standing idly at the window looking out into the twilight, when she saw him coming up the garden path. "I have only five minutes to spare," he said ; "but Mrs. Aspen told me you were going away toâ€"morrow, and I came to say goodâ€"bye. You will not be long absent ?" It was pleasant to spend whole mornâ€" ings on the beach, watching the pleasureâ€" boats gliding over the glassy sea, while clear green wavelets rippled up to the warm pebbles at their feet. %’mie was no savage Edua did as she was told, but she passed a sleepless night. After daybroeak she fell into an uneasy slumber, and then awoke with a throat so sore and inflamed that David Arran had, as he fiad predicted, two patients. Margaret wrote a note to Mrs. Everleigh, saying that her daughter was mable to perform her usual duties, and Edua bad to resign herself to an imprisonâ€" ment in her room. "Go to bed at once," he said decisively, "and let Deborah bring you something hot, else I shall have two patients instead of one." "She is feverish. I shall see her carly toâ€"morrow. Now go and obey my direeâ€" tions." "What is the matter with Olive ?" she asked anxiously. Here David found her when he returned from Olive‘s chamber. She had thrown herself into Margaret‘s armâ€"chair, and was shivering, partly from cold and partly from excitement. He only stayed to say a word to his servant,and then accompanied Edna,walkâ€" ing quickly enough to satisfy even her imâ€" patience. With kindly thoughtfulness he drew her shawl round her throat, and reâ€" minded her that the night breeze was keen; but she answered that she did not feel it, and hurried him on. Nevertheless, when she found herself once more inside Hope Cottage, her strength suddenly gave way, and she crept quietly into the sittingâ€" room while Deborah preceded the doctor upâ€"stairs. David had a candle in his hand, and was just going upâ€"stairs to his room when the nightâ€"bell checked him. He set down the candlestick and opened the door himself. There stood Edna, her thin dress fluttering in the wind, and her face eeger and white. "Olive is ill, Dr, Arran," sho said. "Will you come back with me instantly 2" Without a moment‘s puuse she ran down the little garden path, and out into the lane again. Then with flying feet she sped on, scarcely feeling the chill wind that had begun to blow, and neglecting to fold her shawl closely round her. Panting and nearly spent, she reached Dr. Arran‘s door, and pulled the nightâ€"bell with trembling fingers. "I will go ; don‘t stop me, Deborah ; I can be quicker than you would hbe." ""Miss Olive is not well, miss. We hope it‘s nothing serious, but missus thinks we‘d best fetch the doctor." ‘"What is the matter?" Edua asked, with & quick consciousness of something wrong, t :S. 28 9Â¥ :+ 35 o MÂ¥ / Semee C They came home when a drizzling rain was falling, and the cathedral spire looked coldly while against a leaden sky. It was just five o‘clock when they found themselves once more at the cottage gate, and saw three eager faces looking out upon themn from the crazy porch. Philip was in the path, prepared to assist the flyâ€"man in bringing in the luggage. «How are you, girls ?" he said, opening the flyâ€"door in his manliest style. "We‘ve done with the doctor now, I hope. Run in, and I‘ll see to the things." The seaâ€"breezes had done their work. Edua‘s dress no longer hung upon her with s melancholy looseness, and the roses had come back to Olive‘s cheeks, so that the anxious hearts of mother and sister were set at rest. On the morrow she went back to her duties at the vicarage. There the welcomes were almost as warm as the homeâ€"greetâ€" ings. Her pupils crowded round her with caresses and questions, and could scarcely be perscaded to begin their studies on that morning. Then, as she looked down at the pretty summer dress she was wearing, her conâ€" science smute her sharply. Did sheo not owe many a graceful costume to her sister‘s skilful fingers ? She sighed and leaned her head upon her hand, out of humour with her own ungrateful spirit. ‘You will see Cusin Rosamond at luncheon," said the eldest girl, "and you will find her a very stupid creature, Miss Edna. She yawns, and says that she does not know how to kill timeâ€"quite a wicked way of talking, I think. ‘Why, even baby will sing to his toes when nurse puts him down on the nursery floor, but she has no notion of amusing herself." Mary Everleigh was a girl who always spoke her mind, and her sisters usually folâ€" lowed her lead. Edna, secretly amused, gave another turn to the conversation. September weut by while they were at the seaside, and the 1st of October was fixed for their return. "‘True, her sphere is too narrow." And Edna frowned unconsciously as she thought of the dressmaking. It was a pity, a great pity, that dear Bridget was not clever enough to be a governess. Lady Rosamond Flosse was a delicately featured blonde, with a tall, lsan figure, ‘ whose defocts were carofully concealoed by her torlette. Under less favourable ciroumâ€" stances she would have been simply a reâ€" fined looking woman ; but with the aid of that experienced artist, her French maid, she was almost beautifu‘. Perhaps her golden tresses were a thought too yellow, and looked, as Edna said afterwards, as if a family of busy silkworms had been spinâ€" ning cocoons for her adornment. f "Dridget is generally sparing of her praise," remarked Edna, folding up the letter. _ "This is high commendation, coming ftrom her ; but Dr. Arran, good as he is, does not monopolize all the virtues. There are other faithful natures in the world." Bridget‘s letters were of necessity shortâ€" er than her mothsr‘s. They were a matterâ€" ofâ€"fact record of home affairs and of her visits to Isabel Arran. ‘The doctor‘s wife was growing weaker, she said, and was con» scious that the end of her painful life was not far off ; but David seemed strangely blind to this evident truth. Bridget thought that he was trying not to see it. "When the end does come, I dare say outsiders will say it is a happy release for her and for him," she wrote ; "but as far as he is concerned, Dr. Arsan will not think so. Now that Isabel is a changed woman, he is exceedingly happy in her companionship. His is the most ‘aithful nature that man ever had, I believe." "Bridget sees on! world," said Olive. "Daughter of the Earl ot Waterbury," said Edua to Olive. "He is a privy counâ€" cillor, a great man in Parliament. Mrs. Everleigh never talks about her grand reâ€" lations, and I had quite forgotten that he is her uncle." Letters from home were frequent. Marâ€" gare? gave her daughter news of Mr. Vale â€"his eloquence, his activity, and his popuâ€" larity ; and although he visited the granâ€" dees of the county, and was a favourite in high places, he did not neglect the poor, added Mrs. Westyn in her enthusiasm. He found time to look in upon Harry Stowell, and had got many people to purchase his baskets. Nearly all the mother‘s letters were full of Mr. Vals; but some slight allusions were made to Mrs. Everleigh‘s ccusin, who had become a guest at the vicarage, the Lady Rosamond Flosse. Years afterwards she could never hear those operatic airs without recalling that time, and remembering all the glad hopefu)â€" ness that filled her heart in those days. Often the melodics were intensely sad in their sweetness, but they never saddened her then. Later in her life she could not bear them ; and she used to say sometimes, in speaking of this seaside holiday, that it was the last time her old self ever bore her companyâ€"a saying that only those nearest and dearest to her could truly unâ€" derstand. grandeur about the spot they had chosen ; it was flat and prosaic,but open and sunny, and crowded with lively people who liked the redâ€"coats and blue jackets which made the place gay. In the evening a military band played on the pier, but Edna did not go there to hear it, She liked best to sit at the open window of her lodging and listen to the strains that were roftened by distance. liitle bit of the ! Fatar Accivexr.â€"Ou the 28th ult., Wilâ€" liam and Gsorge Ellestin, sons‘of Thos. Elâ€" ! lestin, who lives about two miles from Rocâ€" | ton, were moving a load of straw from the barn at the old place to the barn by where the young men live. Wim., the elder broâ€" ther, was on the load driving and was sitâ€" ting near the front end of the waggon, and when descending a small hill in the lane near his own house he felt the straw slipâ€" ping forward from under him and tried to save himself from falling, but he was too late ; he slipped forward on to the whiffieâ€" tree and then to the ground. Both front and hind wheels passed over his body. He was able to walk with assistance to the house. He suffered for about twelve hours. Deceased was about twentyâ€"seven years of age, and has been married about a year and l a half. A corresponnent ot the Chicago Tribune gives an account of one of those horrible sun dances in which some of the Indian tribes indulge. The one about which he writes took place in the second week oflast month at the Pine Ridge Agency, in Daâ€" kota Territory. The selfâ€"appointed vietims as usual, allowed their flosh to be cut an d ropes to be put through the holes. and they throwthreir weight on these ropes until the flesh and skin gave way. Some of the warriors fainted several times before their purpose was accomplished. These heathâ€" onish rites are quite as terrible as those which were practiced in India in connection with the worship of Juggernaut until the British Government put an ead to them, Is there any reason why the United States aut horities should not interfere, at least so far as to compel the Indiins.to practice their barbarities beyond tha Federal jurisâ€" Fire.â€"On Wednesday morning about three o‘clock fire was discovered in a storeâ€" house belonging to Mr. John Munns, and in spite of all assistance that could be obâ€" tained was burnd to the ground. In the storehouse were about $2,000 worth of agâ€" ricultural implements, &c., which Mr. Munns had a few days before received from the Masson Manufacturing Co., Oshawa, which were all burned. There was no inâ€" surance on the building, but the contents were partlyi nsured. ‘The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. We understand that paper was found stufâ€" fed into the cracks between the boards of Messrs Gilchrist & Kent‘s storchouse as though it was expected that the fire from Mr. Munn‘s building would destroy the other.â€"Orangeville Advertiser. Bridget looked anxiously into her sister‘s disturbed face. What was it that was makâ€" ing Edua speak so bitterly ? A little wuile ago she would have made goodâ€"natured efforts to amuse Lady Rosamond,and would probably have found a hundred excuses for the frivolity of which she now comâ€" plained. A despatch from Kappal, Asia, says that the Chinese have reâ€"taken Kashgar, A portion of the Mussulman population fled. Not many of the people were massacred. A large body of Christians were shut up in the citadel. The inhabitants of Kuldja bave detcrmined te fly if the town and the province is restored to China by the Russians. "I believe I am in one of my bad moods," rcknowledged Edna, kissing her. "Oh, mother, I wish I could ‘suffer fools gladly I‘" diction ? "Don‘t you ever wonder that God has patience with your impationce?" asked Margaret gravely. "If the same sun that ripens the corn fosters the weeds, what is that to you ?" "Yes ; it is hard to be bored by an idler when one is doing real work. Lady Rosaâ€" mond makes me feel as Hotspure felt to that ‘certain lord‘ who came after the batâ€" tle and pestered him with ‘bald, disjointed chat.‘ She would have pursued me mto the schoolâ€"room if Mrs. Everleigh had not led her off."

Edna went home that sfternoon in rather an uncharitable frame, and eapressed her opinion of the earl‘s daughter in very plain terms. "A frivolous creature," she said.

She Would fain have made a companion of Edna, and enâ€" joyed ber bright wit and lively ways ; but Edna would not sparkle for everybody. Unreasonably disobliging in this case, she put ber light under a bushel and sat glum. It may be that a chance remark, overâ€" heard as she was entering the diningâ€"roomâ€" had something to do with this gloomy mood. "Is your young curate coming to dine again toâ€"night?" Lady Rosamond had said to the vicar. "He is really quite inâ€" teresting. Ycu should ask him often while I am here."

Curring Waear axo Ryc.â€"If there was any doubt about the best time for cutting grain, the gencral experience last year went far towards settling the question. All over the country a hot spell came on just as the cutting became general, and the grain shrank badly. Had the harvest been a few days earlier, the total gnin would have been enormous. In the writer‘s field, stopping the cutting for the 4th of July holiday last season, caused a loss of $100 in the quality of the grain and in shrinkage of weight and bulk. As soon as the grain is solid but will still ecrush dry between the fingerâ€"nails, it may be cut,and hot weather will not injure it in the shoeck as it will when standing. Dead ripe grain is not only less valuable, but the straw is worth less than if cut three or four days carlier, Hay Caps will serve a good purpose upon grain shocks, and are much more secure than cap sheaves. The utmost cleanliness should be pre served about the premises in the hot weath Farmer‘s Review.

We are all aware of the fact that it is not popular to advance the settlement or Algoma. In these days of utilizing water stretches it is thought best to have a thouâ€" sand miles of unscttled country between the two Provinces, as it leaves room for future speculation and that sort of thing, but if the people of Ontario are desirous of finding wheatâ€"producing land, at a very low price and within easy reach of home markets, we would direct their attention to the vast stretch of good land to be found a little inland from the shores ot Georgian Bay.
