Sho was married now—mAni< d a year ago m Rudolf Aronach, one of the best fellows in tho world, and they had tnkeri up their abode in Hoboken, that most German of • Amerienn towns. It was to the celebra tion of their wedding anniversary Hint mx mother h«l, after much hesitation, consent ed to go.• It is to ba a verv finiet dinner,’Georgie had said; ’hut Widolf has so mnny friends who must bu invited, that wo have decided to give it at the German Club instead ufoui own house, which is much too small.’‘ I uu afraid it will bo .a very gny and worldly affair,' sighed* tuy mother; ’bm Georgie makes such a point of it llml, fur her sake, I suppose I murtgo. But renjem- bcr, Frederick, if I sen any signs of dancing. I leave nt once, for dial I really can not conntenancc by my presauch. There is n point beyond which 1 will not go.' Of eoume I satisfied her with A cheerful ‘All right,’ and she made her preparations with a sort of resigned eijnauimity o-Jilying to behold.Mv mother wasltlmudsomo woman still, in spite of her fifty years, with a tall, finely moulded figure, delicate, clear-cut features. uoblnircEl y< t by time's rulhkss touch, soft blue eyes, and heaps upon heaps of snow- white bair which glistened like spun silk above her low broad forehead.

There was no danger to be ap- pr< bended from that quarter, however, as she soon firundf'bnt scarcely less alarming, from her point of view, was the army of waxy colored glasses which clustered beside each pinto ull the way down tho three long lahles. • What 'Ines it mean ?’ sho mnsncd faintly. ‘ Will they make me drink wine ? Oh, Frederick, take me home.' I should not have done so in any cnso. It Is Snnday morning—the Sunday after mv mother’s little escapade at iho German olub. The church bells are filling the air with music, church-goers throng the streets and still my mother Joes not com*. I have been wailing in ths hall for fifteen minutes, and already the ball has ccaaod chim ing and begun to toll. I grow uneasy at last, anti am half-way Up the stairs, when I meet her coming down.

Sho was ready at last, however; had caught up prayer-book and muff, and hastened down to join mo.The service had begun as wo entered the ehurdi which my mother and I attended. Epftcopaliauistn was not her favorite form of worshii], but she had consented to go with me to that church, fearing, I sup pose, that otherwise I would not go nt all. Need I say that my choice had been decided by the fact that Helen was a member (ami a most devout one) of that church?. I con sidered myself fortunate in having boon nblo to secure a pow exactly in front of tl.nt which her family occupied, nod th it her we directed our stops.

Hntelt, of North Norwich, has sold one of birthnns in that towndiip, composed of 100 acres, to Mr. Wm. Nobbs for $5,000.

METF.BOLoaic.tL REFOBTS.—The arrange ments lately made by the Government for the publication of a meterological report at seventy-five different places in Canada have proved very satisfactory.
