CHAPTER LIIL-ICrnitinurf.) ’ ‘ I should bo very sorry to sco you give (up your pen, dear,’ said the urntuur, per­ sistently. ■ I should bo so proud if I could ]live to see yon an author.’ ] ‘ Well, mother, I will try to write a book, j if it is only to please you. I will writesomething for my pupils—a book that may (be useful and popular in schools all over <Enelund. Tho English history my boys ,rend seems to me so dull and dry. I think ] I’ll try my hand nt a boy’s history of Eng- iland. I fancy I could make it iutereating.’ | • I’m sure you could, said tho mother, |fond y. ‘ Hero at least in this quiet schoolhouse ,pallor was happiness almost perfect. It j was n delight to Cyril Cnlvorhoiise, wheuIn dripped in for half an hour on his j homeward way, to sco how well this one , good work of his had prospered. ,A great change in Cyril's fortune was at hand—a change that came upon him as , an almost overwhelming blow, for it gave (a now color to his life, and made tho nrvb- < lem of existence doubly difficult. ] Walking home to bis lodgings one Sep- jtember afternoon with Mr. Dulcimer, Cyril ] met tho village postman. | ‘ Any letters for mo, Sparkes ? ’ aske l the (Vicar. Cyril was not curiour enough to , inquire about his letteis. Ho expected no , Cleusant tidings. Whb should write to (itn ? rto stood alone in fhe world, for he , did not expect that bis ccnsin would over regard him with friendliness again. ]‘ No, sir, thoro ain't none for you,' re- pl'oil Spurkes, ‘ but there's a letter for yoa, ,Mr. Culvorbouse, from Indy.’ (Kenrick had written, then, after all, thought Cyril, moved at the idoa. Distance , a id lapse of time had softened tho natural jbitterness of bis feelings. ]Au I then and there, in deliberate defi­ ance of tho postal rules and regulations, .Spark -s banded tho curajo a thin, inisera- (ble li tter, in a bhick-edgcd envelope ad­dressed in a strange band.The Vicar and Cyril both looked at it, j horror-struck. (• Yonr cousin has been killed,’ cried Mr.Dulcimer. Cyril fell the same npprt-hcn- , Sion- He know no one in India except his |•ftlrin. This letter in a strange Laud must bring evil tidings. (He opened tho envelops hmricrlly, with j a shaking hand, ns ho and Mr. Dulcimerstood side by side in the quiet country road. , Tho Vicur read tbe loiter over Cyril’o ghoul- , Yes, it brought tho news both feared. ' ‘ Sip.,—It is with deep regret that I write to inform yon of tho death of your ] cousin, Sir Kenrick Culvcrhotise. Ho was (shot in a skirmish with the Burmese which i look pincoon tho night of July 27lh. Theycame down upon our camp unexpectedlyduring tho night, and were repulsed with , considerable loss, but unhappily your cons- ,in, who was always reckless in exposing i hitusi If to the enemy s fire, received a fatal shot while leading bis company iu closepursnit of the retreating Burmese. ‘ There will, I hope, be some consolation to yon, ns his nearest relative, in knowinghow nobly ho did his duty throughout the last eighteen months, and how thoroughly he w<<n the respect of his regiinunt, fromtho highest to the lowest. For my own part, I feel his denfh ns a personal Inss, and it will ho long before I ceaso to deplore • I have the honor to bo your obedient servant, ’ Mal colm Donaldson.’ • That is the Colonel of his regiment,' said tho Vicar. • Poor Kenrick ! Do you know, I had a presentiment that he would nev<r come back to us. Hard to remem­ber that he had left us under such misera­ ble circumstances.’ Cyril was silent for some momenta, andthen he said, suddenly, with intense ear­ nestness, ‘ Would to God that I. rather than he,bad drawn the lot of death ! ’ • The lot is cast into the Inp, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord,’sai I tho Vicar, solemnly. ' We cannot chooso our path in life, Cyril. Fate has not been kind te Kenrick. This is a heavyblow for both of ns. For mv own part, I feel as if I had lost a son. You and Ken- rick have been ns sous to we/‘ And to me he was like a brother,’ said Cyri1. ‘ We parted in nnkindues*. That is a Litter tiling to remember/' I do not think you can blame yourself. Cyril, because year coraiu's engagementended unhappily, ' I don't know,' said Cyril. ' It is just possible—I may have influenced Beatrix atthe last/ Aud then he told Mr. Dulcimer—as a good Catholic migbt t&ll his spiritual di­ rector—about that meeting in the churchyard. • I hardly know what I said/ he confe»«- ed, remorsefully. ‘ I was beside myself.I knew in that moment she still loved me ; that I had never ceased to love her; that I bad been mad, foolish, besotted, when Idoubted her. I knew all this, and that to­ morrow was to make her my ceuem's wife.I know not what mad words I may havesaid to her—words wild and strong enough to eenstrain her to break with Kenriek/ ’ I am not sure of that/ said Mr. Dulci­mer, thoughtfully. • I have a shrewd sus- p cion that Beatrix wa* meditating the eau- eelms it of her engagement when she wasao ra;er to pay off the Culverbouse mort­ gages. If she had meant to be his wife,she migbt just as well have waited till they were married. But she wa* so impetuous, so determined. She bore down all oppos­ition from Scratehell. Ye*. I believe that i she bad made up her mind to jilt poor Kenrick, and that «he meant tbe liberation, of hi* estate a* an atonement/ This wa* ranee kind of consolation for Cyril, who thought of hi* cousin with a re­morseful grief that was very real. And now when those first days of mourning for the dead were oyer, be began to think ofhi* awn position, which wa* full of par- plexitv. Kenriok's death had made him muterof Culverhou** CraUe. He had new tie*, . new dutiee. Hi* first tl»otight wu to re-‘ pay Mira Harefield tho fifty thousand > pound*. Th* lawyer* had dawdled about ■ the matter, Mr. Dul«im«r had been eare-Ua>, and Kenrick’* parting injunction had ’ not been obeyed. Cyril went to Mr. Soratobell and t<dd f him that b* *bould mortgage tbe estate di- I, rectly it paased into Im* possession, and re-- store Mis* Harefi*! I’* money. ‘ She mrapt it for my coutin Kenrick,and not for me/ he said. ‘ I should feel myself a thief if I retained tbe ura of her money a day longer than I am obliged.’It wra agreed, therefore, that the moneyibonld bo rafiurfed a* anon a* Cyril found hiiMMdf ia a podtfon to rain* money upon hi* newly acquired estate.

CHAPTER LTV. MB. PIPES ASSERTS HIMSELF. • You ride, of course,’ Captain Standish said to Bella, upon one of her Thursday afternoons, iu the middle of September.Bella blushed. Sho bad never mounteda horse in her life. ‘ I am very fond of riding/ sho said.’ Have yon ever ridden to bounds ?’ ‘ Do you mean hunted ?' she asked,naively. *Oh no, never.' 1 Then you must begin this winter. I'll show you the way, and take core of you.’ ‘ 1 don’t think Mr. Piper would let muhunt/ said Bella, dubiously. ‘I’ve heard him abase hunting ladies; and os he neverrides himself—’ ‘ AVhat has that to do with it ?' asked the captain, contemptuously. Ho bad long ‘cast off all semblance of respect in his man­ner of speaking about Mr. Piper. Bella had taken that first desperate step in a woman's downward course which a wifetakes when she* submits to hoar hor hus­band depreciated. ‘ What has Mr. Piper’s taste to do with yonr pleasure ? It would be very difficult to find a horse that would carry him, audI suppose ho woilld ride in about as good form as a sack of coals. I should so like you to hunt with me, Isabel. You mustmnke him buy yon a hunter/ Captain Standish was the only person who hail ever called her Isabel. H« hadchosen to call her thus, in their confiden­ tial momenta, because eveyooe else called her Bella. The moment in which he hadfirst spoken that name marked an epoch in her life. She could look back and remem­ ber. They wore standing side by side un­der the big beech, sho leaning on her bow, as she stopped to rest after a dozen shots, when ho bout over her to take the arrowout of hor hand, and praised her for hor skill in archery. ‘lam so proud of your progress, Isa­bel.’ The nnmo spoken tenderly, in a subdued voice, was as startling as a name whisper­ed in a sleeper’s ear. ‘ You must not call mo by tny Christian name, Captain Standish,’ she said, makingher poor littlo protest, which ho know meant nothing. * Yes, I must. It is the only namepretty enough for yon. I havo a choking sensation ovary time I have to call you Mrs. Piper.So from that time forward ho bad called her Isabel whenever they found themselvesalone. • I don’t think Mr. Piper wonl 1 let me ride, much more hunt/ said Bella, thought­ fully.* Yes, ho would. You know very well that you cuu twist him round your littlofiuger.’' I should dearly love hunting/ she said, with a vague idea of skimming over plough­ ed fields like a swallow, flying over fencesupon a borso ‘whoso only desire was to jump. ‘ Get Piner to give his consent to yourhaving a horse of your own, and let me choose ono for you. I think you could trust my choice/ ‘ Indeed I conld,’ sighed Bella.The idea of hunting bad taken posses­ sion of her narrow little mind already. It seemed tbe one thing noodful to her happi­ness, the ono distinction necessary to raise her to tbe social pinnacle she was alwaystrying to scale. It would bring her intofamiliar intercourse with the country people, and then hor prettinoss and pleas­ing manners would do tho rest. In tho hunting field sho would stand alone, nut borne down by Mr. Piper's vulgarity.‘ 1'11 tell yon how to manage Piper,' said tbe captain. ‘Say that you aro out of health, and that your doctor has ordered you to ride. You can make your doctororder anything you like, you know. He'll take the Lint if ho sees you’ve set your heart upon riding, aud he'll tell Piper thatit’s a matter of vital necessity.' Bella acted upon this idea. Sho was notso healthy a subject as Mrs. Piper as sho had beou when she was Miss Scratehell. She had languors and nervous headaches, aud shooting pains and divers spasmodicor hysterical affections, which were un­ known to her in tho days of her poverty. Hard work uni hard living are the bestregiiuon for these disorders. Bella had plenty of leisure now for imaginary ail- manta, and really believed herself apeculiarly delicate piece of human mechan­ ism. She sent for Mr. Namby tho day afterthis conveigaliou with Captain Standish, and told him that she was fooling low and nervous, and that sha feared there must besoutetbing radically wrong, something organic. Now if the village surgeon had been at­tending Miss Scratehell be would havelaughed such a notion to scorn ; but this idea of organic disease In tbe mistress ofthe Park wm not to be dismissed too light­ ly. The Park had been an important source of bi* income in the late Mrs. Pi­per’s time, and be did not want the doors to be shut upon him dow ; so he smiled hi* most sympathetio smile, and gave a gentlesigh, the smile to ro-Mstire, th* sigh toexpress foreknowledge ef every evil the Fates had in store for his patient; and then ho put hie two finger* gently upon Bella’swrist, looking at hi* watch the while as if a beat more or )e*« in the minute were a matter of supremo importance.‘Thready/ he said, shaking bis head,gravely. ’ I have a weak pnl**, have I not ? ’ ask­ed Bella. ‘ I fancy I want exercise—open air—a more invigorating life. I drive * good deal; but Cher* is not much exercisein that, you knew.' ‘ Very little/ assented Mr. Namby. ‘Don't you think riding Diight be goodfor me ? ’ ■ The very thing I wa* about to reoom- •&t I'm afraid Mr. Piper mighl not lik* me to ride,' suggested BeRa. • From my knowledge of Mr- Piper’s de­votion to you, my dear madam, I feel as­sured that he worth! not oppose anything hkely to be of benefit to you/ said Mr.Namby, with conviction. • Then, perhaps, you will be kind enough to mention it te him. Stop and take yourluncheon with us. Hsis generally at home for luncheon. I feel that I ought to do somstbkig, I am getting into suah a lowway. I began to fancy my heart was af­ fected/• If there rcallv were anything wrong about the heart, riding would be danger- one/• Well, I dare say it ia only indigestion, caused by want of exerms*.’Mr. N amby staid to luncheon. Hit prac­ tice was not se extensive a* to forbid his in­ dulging bitnralf with a tittle leisure anoein a way. Ho had not enjoyed hfmsalf *o much for a tong time— indeed, not since Balls’s wedding breakfast, at which he hadbeen a humble eueet, equeezrf into a cor­ ner, a kind of Ultima Thule at tbe foot of tbs table, where rosy few pur ple raw him,and where «w m of the best drahra nevtepenetrated.Mr. Piper happened to b* in a psrtfeular- ly guod humor. Ho trad bran speeulaUuga Ultie, by way of amusement, in woolen good*, and his orator* had turned trumps. H* ooraed a bostla ot hto-boet Champran*fur Mr. Namby—a rora-tinted liqnor, that creamed and sparkled gently m the shallow Mr.Namby look some curried lobster,and a mutton cutlet, nnd the breat of a purl- tridgo, and a Harrogate cheeBe.and a bunchof Mr. Piper’s famous Alexandria Muscats, which had cost a small fortune to grow,andhe bad a very fair share of tbe rose-tinted Champagne, and after being thus regaled he declared with conviction that horseman-ship was tbe one thing needed to restore Mrs., Piper to perfect health. { t ‘ Why, there’s nothing the nutter with J her that I can soe,' exclaimed Mr. Piper, J taking his wife’s little hand and making a .sandwich of it between two puffy paws. ** 8ho'» as pretty ai evor, and she's as plump ’ as the partridges we've just eaten.’ 1 * These nervous disorders are very iusid- 1 iouB,’gaid Mr. Namby. 1 * Wbat should make her nervous?' 1 * Wu’ve hud so many parties,’ said Bella. 1 ‘And your Great YutforJ friends are bo ’ coarse and noisy. I always feel tired todeath after an hour or two of their society. 1 And wo havo been to bo many wearisome 1 dinners. Nothing wears mo out like one ’of those stupid dinners, where we sit throe hsnra at the table wondering when they 1 will leave off bringing round dishes that no- 'body wants, except the people whoso only pluosnra in life is gluttony.’ * Mrs. Piper has a very feeble pulse,' said 1 Mr.Namby,after a lingering sip of Madeira. 1 • She wants fresh air an<l vigorous exercise.' ' She can go ont walking. I dare say 'sbO'hns given way to laziness a bit since 1 bIio’b bad three carriages at her command. It’s a now sensation for her, poor little latfe. 'Sh« had to stir her stumps trudging back- ! ward and forward from here to tho village 1 every day wheu she was governess to mygirls.’' Bella was dumb with disgust and inJig- nation. T<> have a husband who spoko of 1 her thus—who made his pompous b iastof 1 having picked a pearl out of the gutter I 1 ‘ I don't know about walking exercise,’ 1 said Mr. N.tinby.who knew that his patient 1 wanted a horse, and nothing but a horse : 1 ’that might possibly be too fatiguing forMrs. Piper. Now riding is exercise with- ' out fatigue.’ ’ * Well, then, I snppesc she must rule,’exclaimed Mr. Piper, with an air of resig­ nation. * If she has sot her heart upon it, ’Bhe’ll do it, cost what it may. Yes, nt tho 1 risk of breaking her neck, nud an old fool's 1 heart into tho bargain. There never was ' such a girl for having her own way. Lookat her now, Nnmbyl Wouldn’t yon think 1 she was tho softest bit of pink aud while ' womanhood that ever Mother Naturemoulded, a gentlj little puss that would sit 1 on yonr lap and pur with good temper nnd 1 contentment, a lump of sottness aud affec­tion that never know what it was to have a 1 will of her own ? That’s what I thought ' before I married her. But I kpow betternow. She’s as hard ns nails, nnd when 1 she wants any thing she'll have it,if it wasto cost you your fortune.' * I don't think I am asking for any thing very dreadful,' said Bolin. A horeo which 1 mny cost you a hundred pounds—'‘Oh.hiiug it I’ cried Piper. ’ Wo’v* horses i enough. If you must ride, you can rideeno of tho carriage-horses.’ ‘A cronturo nearly seventeen hands high,’ exclaimed Bella contemptuously. * I don't want io rido a camel. Pray say no more ;about it. It ia Mr. Namby's idea that 1ought to ride, not mine.' ' ‘ Does she really want it ?’ asked tho be­wildered Piper, appealing to tho surgeon. ' * I think it might give hor tone. There is a decided want of tone at present.’ i* Thoro was no want of tono when she used to coms every morning to teach my children. She used to look aa fresh as a 1 newly opened roue.’ ‘She had not the cares of a largo house­ hold upon her shoulders ia those days,’suggested Mr. Namby. * Tho household doesn't trouble her. She isn’t like poor Moggie wh> fretted her­self to fiddlestrings about sixpences. She’s a born Inly, is tho tliicliots yonder. Sho sits in an onay-chair and reais novels, andlots tbe household take care of itself. If poor Moggie could rise from tho grave nnd take n peep nt our servants' hall—Well, it’sa comfort she enn’t, for I am euro she’d never go back again.' * Pray sny no more,’ said Bella, gettingup nnd going toward the door. * You have said more than enough already. I would not k-tyou buy me a horse now if you wereto go down on your knees to 1 eg me.’ ' Hoity-toity 1’ cried Mr. Piper; but Bellahad bounced out of the room, leaving him fuco to face with Mr. Namby, who, alarm­ ed nt the stortniness of tho domestic sky, made haste to depart. Mr. Piper ordered tho pony-carriage— bis wife’s pony-carriage—and drove him­ self to Great Yafford. This appropriationof Bella's carriage and ponies was an not of self-assertion on bis part, and was meant ns a kind of manifesto. He felt that thelimo had corn* when ho must bo master. But it was the wretcliedeet drive ha had ever taken. Tbe very road looked dreary,barren, and uncomfortable ia the autumnal afternoon light. How fast the leaves were fulling! how dull and cold every thing look-ad! Yes,assuredly,summer had gone. He had hardly noticed it till now. Ho loitered at his club while the ponies were being rest­ed and fed, and contrived to bo home rather late for dinner. Ho expected black looks from Bella as he went into the drawing­room where she was waiting, dninlly dress­ ed, with the unfailing novel open in her lap; but to his surprise she received hitu as pleas­antly as if nothing had happened. This mollified him, and he mode no fur­ ther attempt at self-assertion that evening.* I hope you didn’t want your ponies,little woman,' he said. ' I took 'em.’ ’ My ponies.’ laughed Beil—‘aa if anything L have were really mine! I am like tbe butterflies in the garden. I enjoy alltbe sweets, but I don’t pay for them, andthey don’t belong to me.' * That’s not true,Bella, and you know it,’ exclaimed Mr.Pipor. * You haven't forgot­ten the marriage service. ‘With all my worldly goods I thee endow.’ I endowed , thee with all my worldly good*, Balta,and.without wishing to hurt your feelings, I must say that bo far you've made pretty tree with ’em. Bnt I ran how it is, you’re, offended because I refused you a srfdte- . horse this morning. Well, perhaps It wasi rather mean of me,especially after I’d made , a little bit of money by a aide wiad. But, , you te«,we’ve been spending a lot this year,. and I began to feel it was time to pull ia a bit. However, I’ve been talking to White, , and he tays th* earriage-horaea are too tali. for a lady .and they might throw therraalvM forward from the habit of hanging aa themdlar;*M never mind, my pet, you shall have a aaddle-bone, and as far aa a hun- . 4r*d pounds will go, you shall have a good This was tbe end of Mr. Piper’* fir*t at­ tempt at self-assertion. CHAPTEB LV. ‘ CAFTAfN STANDISH CHOOSES A HORSE. ] Having gained her point and secured the I promise of a saddle horse, Bella wasted 'no time in getting herrelf ready to rid* 1 bim. She was far too wise a little woman ? to exhibit herself publicly on horseback bo- ‘fore she had learned how to ride. She 1 drove to Great Ynfford early next morning, ,war measured for a habit by the best tailor 1 in the town, aud from tbe tailor’s went to 1 a riding school in the suburbs, where tbe ’daughters of the plutocracy learned to sitstraight in their saddles, and to make des- ! perato leaps over a polo two feet from th* 'tan fl )or. ‘ Here Mrs. Piper arrived early enough to ' attire herself in s borrowed riding habit, Jsnd to get an hour's private lesson before , tho daily class began. 1 ■ It is eo very long since I’ve ridden,’ 'she said to the master—a being of hybrid 1 aspect, in whom the swing nnd swagger of ’ tho drill-sergeant were copiously mixed ‘with the distinctive graces of tbe circns ' rider—‘ my husband ia afraid I might feel ' nervous on horseback.’ I' Ib it very long, ma'am ? ’ asked tbe ' master, with a view to the selection of an ' animal of exceptional docility. '‘ Well, yes,’ said Bella, who in her pre- ’ sent stage of bring had never ridden any- 'thing more dangerous than a wooden ruck- ' ing-horse ; • it is rather a long time.' ‘ Tamo Cat,’ roared the master to bissubordinate ; and in about five minutes a horse of nondescript appearance—the kind ' of animal which seems to be grown on pur-poso for riding masters and fly-men—a ’ creaturo with a straight neck, splay feet, I and a rat tail, but with an expression ot !patient long suffering which, from a moral point of view,atoned for bis want ot beauty. Bella was mounted on Tamo Cat, the 'master mounted s tall ugly cherinut with a ' white blaze on his face, and the two horses 1 liegan to circumambulate the barnlike ibuilding al a solemn walk. Then came ; tho exciting canter, and then tho mathe­ matical trot, which was at first too muchfor even Bella's natural aptitude at doing ' every thing she particularly wanted to do. ' At tho end of the hour, bowover, there wasa marked improvement, and tbe master complimented his rew pupil.‘ You were a good deal out of practice,ma'am,’ he said, • but you’ll get into it again nicely in a dozen lessons.' ‘ I shall co mo every morning for a week,’said Bella, ‘ but you must teach me as much as you can in the shortest possible time. Suppose I were to take a doublelesson, two hours instead of one ? ’ ‘ You might find it too fatiguing.’ ‘ I don’t mind fatigue a bit,’ answeredBella, curiously forgetful of her depressed state of health. ‘ I shall lake a two hours'lesson to-morrow. But, remember, youare not to tell any body about my coming here. It seems so foolish for a person of my age to bo taking riding lessons.’‘Lori bless your heart, ma'am, there’s ladies come here old enough to be year grandmother. You should see them gr»round in the canter, with their poor old elbows wagging.'For six days Bella pursued this secretcourse of instruction. She contrived to have particular business in Great Yaffordevery morning. Once she went to carry a hamper of good things to the dear girls at the Misses Turk’s, twice to her dressmaker,once to hor milliner, once to change books at the library, once to make an early call upon Mrs. WigzalL Mr. Piper accompanied her sometimes, but sho dropped him at his club, and be in no way interfered with hor liberty. At tbeend of the week the habit was sent homefrom the tailor’s, and Bella had learned to nde. Sho had jumped the pole success­fully at ita greatest altitude, and it seemed to her simple soul that there was nothing sho could not achieve la the hunting field.Sho bad learned to sit straight, to keep her right shoulder back, to trot easily ronud a corner. The riding-master dismissed herwith an assurance that she was a first-rate horsewoman, which he could very wellafford to do, as she had paid him a guineaa lesson and made him a present at part­ ing. r. • If you really mean me to have a hors*,Mr. Piper, I think Captain Standish wouldbe kind enough to choose one for me. You know what a judge he is.' ‘ I’ve heard prapl* say aa naneb,' assent­ ed Piper, ‘and I must confera he ride* anddrivos pretty tidy cattle- But I don’t era why I shouldn't chooae your horse myself. It will be my money that’ll hsv* to pay it.not Captain Standish’*.' • Mv dear Mr. Piper, horses are so ont ofyour liue. You might choose ram* big clum«y creature—very handsome in hi*way, no donbt, like Flemish dray-horses, bnt quite uusuited for ms. Aud you knowwhen you bought the bay* you nevw noticed the splint in Juno’s fore-leg.’ ‘ It wasn’t my basin***,’ growled Mr.Piper. ‘I paid for vet'* opinion.’•Precisely, and got cheated in spit* of him. Now Captain Standish is not lik• nveterinary surgeon. He’ll get no commis­ sion. You had better let him cheoao a horse for me.’ • Well, my dear, if you like him io do so, I've no objection. I’ve promised you a horte, aed I won’t go from my bargain.Come, I'll tell yon wbat I’ll do. I’ll write you a check for a hundred, and yea aud Standish can settl*. the buunraa betweenyou. If he's clever enough to g*t a good horse for ravanty-five, yon can spend the differeno* on a u*w gown. You’re nsvratired of getting new gowns.’ Mr. Piper wrote tbe check and went his way, with a mind untainted by jealousy.He bad trusted this pretty young wife of hi* with th* garadianahip ef bi* honor a*implicitly aa he had trusted homely middle- aged Mr*. Piper th* first. H* knew that Bella was not fanltlra*. He was far from. feeling p*rfect satisfaeti-m with nil i<er ’ w»ys. He knew that she was spending > his money like water.

Bella had no doubt aba would be able to take it out ofthe black. She was glad he was black. There ia something so oommon about a bay.She cenld hardly rest till Thursday morn-i ng came. She went half a dozen titnaa to th* atablea to see that the black’s loora boxwas properly prepared, with its fringta and dreorationa of plaited straw, and all tbe newest improvement* in stable fitting*.She was walking up and down the broad gravel drive in front af the porch when tbe captain appeared, riding hi* handsomecheanut, followed by a groom, who led a creature so clothed and knee-capped and hooded, that nothing wa* visible but check­ed kerseymere. He appeared, further, to have a monstrous bump on hi* back, which gave him the appearance of aBactrian camel. ■ ‘ I should have ridden him over myself,but I would not bring him over to you with the dost of the road upon him,’ raid the captain, diam muting and slinkinghands—a lingering hand-shake with * tender little pressure at the end. ’Now, Dobbs, off with tbe clothes.’Tbe block was alripped in a minute or two, and stood before them in all hi* beauty, a gloasy-coatedt thoreugh-bred,finely moulded creature, with a backward roll of hia full eye, and an alert movement of hi* delicate ear, common to borees of hi*high breeding. ‘ Isn’t be perfect ?’ asked the captain, contemplating his purchaao with the eyeof pride. * He is lovely, and I don’t know how to tbnnk you,’ answered Bella, watching theblack's restless eyeball; ‘bnt isn't he dread­ fully high-spirited ? Yon know I don’t pretend to be a Diana Vernon.’ ‘ You could not do anything badly if yoa tried,' said the captain. ‘Don’t be alarmed. Erebus has a lovely temper. With yonrlight little band on bia anufHe, and with * cotnfoitable bit in bia month, he'll go aa gently as a Shetland pony.’* Is he called Erebus ?' * Yea, he was sold under that name. Youcan change it if you like.’ * No, I think it's rather a good name,* answered Bella, patting Erebna’s velvetnose—a liberty which be endured with per­fect affability. ’It isn't common.’ Tbe Misses Pork man’s bones were call­ ed Prince and Daisy. The cause of the hump-like appearance which bad puzzled Bella was a very hand­some side-saddle of quilted doeskin—-quite the perfection of a saddle. * I ventured to have him measored for A saddle directly I decided on buying him foryou,' explained the captain. ’The saddler* bad to work day and night to get it finish-ed by yesterday evening. You must pleura to accept the saddle aa my hnmble offer­ ing.’ * Ob, I really couldn’t,* exclaimed Bella. *It’a too good of you, but I’m sure Mr. Piper would not allow—’ * I’ll answer for Mr. Piper's approval.And now run and put on your habit, and try Erebus’s paces over that smooth bit of turf-'Bella ran away, and re-appeared in about ten minutes, looking the prettiest little huntress imaginable, perfectly dress­ed from the top of her neat cbimuey-pot to the point of her morocco boot. She had forguUeu nothing. Captain Standish lifted her into the sad­ dle, gave her the reins, aud then mountedby her side. They walked quietly to the su etch of turf, aud then and there, the in­stant he felt tbe grass under his hoofs, Er­ebus bolted with bis light burden. tibesatonbim splendidly, feeling as if b er last hour had come. Aller making a wild circuit of a mih) or so, he ranrentadto be pulled up, and stood looking tbe im­ age of innocence, when Captain Standishrods slowly up t o him, * I hope you didn t think me cratl for not riding after you,’ said the Captain.■ My horse would have only made him go faster. I raw you were uiietrera of him. S He suite you to a nicety. But you shouldnot indulge him with that kind of spurt often. It isn't good form.’ * N—no,’ faltered Bella,who had no mere control over th* black than she had overthv hastening clouds in the aututus sky. * Now we’ll go for a ride over th* moor, p and yea shall takp it out of bun,' said the1 captain. ' They went upon th* moor, and the black ' took it out ot Bella, for she went home af­ter a two hours’ride more exhausted than she had ever felt in her life before.1 There bad been no opportunity rara fork the captain to breathe the sweet poison of - his unhallowed love in bis companion's ear, ! although they were alone together under1 th* wide heaven. Th* black bad absorbed [ ih* attention of both. Il* was a creatureof infinite rcaourtsra, and ef as much var- 1 iety aa the serpent of old NBe.

I we cauoct bo hild responsible for thointerest. Mr.Cariwrighl is culled a “ mixeraud muddler" ol finance, yet ho reducedtho rate of interest from 5.85 to 4.84. avery considerable saving to lhe country.Another charge is that wo tiavo ruuup tho expenditure of tbo Dominionvery rapidly. Wo buvo increased the ex­penditure*. He admitted that, this wasuot unnatural. With lhe growth of thecountry expeusss increase, and the ana ofcountry has increased. During Sir Joint'sregime tbo expenditure increased from thir­teen to twenty-four million*. He did notblame him fur this, for during tbnt time thocountry hod grown by tho increase of sov-etal Provinces. In ordur to institute a fairoomparison between lhe two Guvcrtitnouta,he would compare their expenditure* dur­ing the last three years while they were re­spectively in power. The former Govern­ment, iu Uiat period increased the expendi­ture between four and five millions, whileduring the same period lhe present Gov­ernment only increased the expenditure by8200,000. A certain portion of the expen­diture could not be increased or decreasedby Parliament. They were fixel. Overoilier items ilia present Parliament was su­preme; and comparing tire amounts onthee* controllable items, tbe late Govern­ment hod increased the expenditure by81,488,000.

Was this fair?Hechirged the present Government withhaving prepared and curtailed the outlay ofthe tail year, for thn purpose of catchingeconomical electors, and in onn case clfici-ency was sacrificed for this dubious econo­my. The land aurvey had been etopp. d ;the Manitoba force disbanded ; the Ameri­can survov was cither finished or abandon­ed ; the Manitoba relief fund is not requir­ed this year; some of the public woik* arefinished, and tho expenditure is stoppad.Tho Government was deserving of nospecial credit for reductions arising frorhthese. He next eamo to an importantitem. Tho militia nxpcntlitnre had beencut down to 1428,000—about half whet itwas the previous year. Either the chargetho year before was exorbitant or thin re­duction was ruinons.

(Cheers.) Willi ref­erence to immigration, Mr. Rosa did notcharge the present Government with ex­travagance, and explained the cause of io-cra-usd expense under the present Govern­ment. This explanation woe in a measuretrue,and in a meaanre not true. The pres­ent Gevernment bail agents in tho UnitedStates, aud the emigrants they sent intothe country lhe Government counted thesame a* these who eamefrom the old coun­try.

Ths ceremony of inauguration is a very imposing and impressive one, and the principles inculcated iu the order are of • ich a nature that the establishment of the Fraternity of Forestry iu our town will, no doubt, have its beneficial effects.

This part of tho proceedings waF a very enjoyable affair. The spread wm got up iu the best style by “ naine host” Jenson, and reflected great credit upon this long5- istabiished and celebrated hrfuse. The chair was occupied by Mr. II. Rowland-, and on Iks right and left were seated Mr. Goo. Wrigley, of London, B. W. H. C. R., and Mr. George Lindley, of Brantford, H. Per. Secretary. Tho Vice-Chair was oc­ cupied by Mr. Birch, and ho was supported by Dr. Orunbyatckhte, P. C. R., of London, and Mr. Long,of Brantford, D. 0. H.tiJ. R. After full justice had been done to tho good things provided, which included every deli­ cacy of thO season, tho remainder of theevening w m spout in a sociable and con­ vivial manner. Tho “ Queen and Royal Family.” the" GoVernOr-Gencttil of Canada and 2the Lii-nt.-Governor of Ontario," and oilier loyul and patriotic toasts were dtanofied ofin a style which Canadians aud Foresters know how. Tlie chairman in a few ap­ propriate remarks of woleomo next pro­posed the health of the ’’Officers and mem­ bers of the Right Worthy High Court of Farvs'ers of Ontario,'' and honed that theirorexent visit to Ingersoll would be long re­ membered, aud that tho work they had in­ augurated here would prove a sonreo ofhappiness and comfort in years yet to cmue to us and to our families. Short, pithy, and instructive speeches were made in r- *spouse, by R. W. II. C. R. Wrigley. II. Per. Sec’y Lindley, D. D. H. C. R. Long, ond S. D. D. H. C. R. Lev. These ad­dresses were full of hope and cne»nr- Agemcnt, and wero lis'nned to w ith marked attention by those present.Tlie next toast from the Chair was “Our Sister Courts,” coupling with it the nnmr of Dr. Oronhyatckha, P. C. R. The D->ctormade n capital speech in n spinsc, referr­ ing to the great benefits to b« derived from membership in tho Order. He was pleuscdto see Oxford C-mrt start out under such auspicious circumstances,and was proud to think that he had been partially instrumen­tal in bringing about the organization which wo had completed to-night. He slated that a Court would be organized thenext evening at Tilsonbnrg, and tbnt very shortly ono would bo organized iu Wood stock.Mr. Wrigley then proposed *' Prosperilv to Court Oxford." This toast was respond­ ed to by the officers present in short andsuitable speeches. Several volunteer toasts and sentiments weio afterwards proposed and duly honor­ed, being interspersed with songs and speeches, and tho partv broke tin at a reas- onside hour after singing iu chords, “AuldLang Syue.” from the celebration, though they reduced their therein it to a minimum.

The Farmer's Garden. Well I remember, only a few years ago, but very few farmers paid any attention to the garden ; and some, even among those reputed to bo well-to-do, had not a plant of strawberry, blackberry, nr any other small fruitt, save, perhaps, a few currant bushes , overrun with suckers, and no fruit trees, except apples anil an occasional pear or wild .lack cherry. Some grudgingly gave a few rods of land to tho cultivator! of “ garden sass," and the women were allowed a square yard or two in one corner fora flower-bed. Through the instrumentality of the agricul­ tural and horticultural press, our farmers are being taught that tho getting of money is not, or should not be, the chief aim of min, and are learning to appreciate the boun­ tiful gifts of tho Creatoi in tho healthful veg­ etables ind fruits and the beautiful flowers, shrubs . and trees, which He has given us in such o idlcss variety of habit and character as to be adapted to any condition of soil, climate, or other circumstances. As I said in the beginning, tho growing taste and wonder­ ful changes in homo snrrotuidingiq not only in this locality, but wherever wo go, arc gratifying. And so it is to be hoped, and I think reasonably so, that tho time is not far distant when at least one will be devoted to growing choice vegetables, fruits and flowers, with shady arbors and well kept lawn—every­ thing artistically arranged, and the whole tending to make homo beautiful and attrac­ tive, inspiring a love of horticultural pursuits in the young members of the family, which will prevent that longing desire too frequently seen in fanners’ sons- and daughters, to get away from the monotony of farm life and seek occupations in the cities.— Vick't Magazine, THE OXFORD TR 1B U W WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1878. Tomatoes and Carcerk -Tho story has gone the rounds of tho papers, that the um of tomatoes tends to cause cancer, and some persons, actually alarmed, write to ask if it is eo. Tomatoes are eaten and cancel* occur (though very rarely), and wo can not prove that tho one has no relation to the other, any more than we can not prove that they do not cause baldues*, squint-eyes, and crooked little-fingers, but we think they are quite as likely to cause any of those as cancers. Beal Brown Bread. A writer in Nalttrt discuasea the compara­ tive natritivA^aalitie* of white bread, brown broad, and whole-meal bread. II* say* :—W* shall find it impoasible to make, by tneona cf leav«n or yeaat, a Ikht, apongy loaf from whole wheat finely groand, the so-callcl ccrcalin ot the bran including chemical change* which result in a moist, c’ammy, dense product. Even whole wheat merely crushed into the meal, not ground partake* of the same defect Fino flour, on tho other hand, yields a bread which is light enough before mastication, but which when masticat- ed, poaaesset a marked tendency to becon e compacted into dense lump* which may never be penetrated by the gasttic and intcstinM juices, and which aro frequent cause of con­ stipation. Wholosomo nival bread cannot be charged with this defect; indeed, it acta medicinally as a laxitive, and by reason ite mechanical texture is hurried rather too quickly along the digestive track, so that the full virtue q[ such of its nutrient* a* are really’ soluble becomes in part lost Yet there is no doubt that for many pctsens, especially those who have passed middle age and an engaged in sedentary occupations, whole wheaten meal bread, biscuits, scones, etc., forms an invalu­ able diet. If we conld reckon all the nitro­ genous matter in whole-meal bread as equally effective with that contained in white bread, we should possess in the former a far more perfectly adjusted food ; for the ratio flesh- formers to heat-giver* i* about 1 to 11 in white bread, while it approaches I te 4 in some sam. pics, at least, of whole-meal bread. Add to this tho higher proportion of phosphates in tho latter, and it* chemical superiority over white bread becomes still mure marked, its flavor, too, is far richer. Oidinary brown bread is a pco- preparation at best By adding a dash of rather rough bran to flour we do not obtain a satisfactory or rich product. Analy­ sis demonstrates th;s fact clearly. Bxet Sugar Company or Maine.—An offic­ ial circular from this Company at Portland ia evidence that something practical in the way of making Leet eugar in that St#te in in tended. The circular contains directions for cultivation, and a statement that wore than 2,000.farmers have interested themselves in this enterprise. The production of a sugar­ beet from which sugar can bo manufactnrtd at a profit, is still a mutter of experiment The soil and cl'inate of any locality are im­ portant points, and success cannot be aw tired until these aro known to bo favorable. The business is one in which succeed depends up­ on the exercise of small economies, os well as skilful management—for example, the utiliza­ tion of tho refuse pulp is a mattter of no little, importance. The profit in this last item alone, hu often sufficed in European factories to turn tho balance towards iuccess, and neglect of it, lias resulted in a failure of tho Lt si A Necessary Correction.—" Merchants and others should be careful about furnish­ing goods, etc., to members of n family after the responsible bead gives piiklic notice that be will Dot bold himself liablefor debts contracted iu bis name by any person without hie written order.” So says the Colbomo Exprcit, referring to atest case lately decided iu the DivisionCourt there, in which judgment was given against the merchant sucing. BurIucssmen, that paper goes on to say, should not disregard notices which are published in the premises ; these are resorted to as thelast and only means of checking real or fancied extravagance. This paragraph ap­ pears to ignore what, however, has been re­peatedly affirmed in our courts, that a mer­ chant can recover from the head of afamily for the supplying to the members ofthat family of necessaries. The distinction then comes to be made between extrava­ gances and necessaries; and this isdetermined by the circumstances of the case, the station in life of the parties sup­ plied, and so ou—Monetary Timet.

Lice are the greatest pest of thei poultry house. Hens left to range about the farm or garden will.keep clean by wallowing in the dry dust. But for a good part of the year villagers have to.keep their hens in confine­ ment, and very soon, without constant watchfulness, lice appear, and if the poultry house is near tho bain, or within it, tho ver­ min spread to the cow and horse-stables, and and make trouble there. White-washing, if it were attended to every month, would be ef­ fectual, if the wash penetrated all the cracks. But thia involves a great deal of labor, and it is difficult io reach all tho crevices. There is the same objection to sulphur and tobacco smokfi A few of the lice are generally left for rued after every smoking. Ths best rem­ edy we have ever applied is crude petroleum; or, if more convenient, tbs common keroeenee oil used for lamps. This is always at hand, and a few minutes labor with the oil-can will rout the enemy. Generally one application is enough to destroy them. We apply it directly to the perches, pouring a Continuous stream from the spout The hens get this oil on their feet and legs, and it is rubbed all over the fea. there; It is penetrating, and the odor seems to be exceedingly offensive to all insect*.

They will do much good in the garden, ifthe hens can keep out A light netting,' for separating chicks, dividing runs, or protecting the garden, will be found nsefuL Mr. H.H. Stoddard, Editor of the “Poultry Worll,” Hartford, Conn., has provided means for supplying this want, and informs us that nets of ary length and width can be made to order, at very reasonable price* Those who have so frequently in­ quirt*! about this kind of nets, will take notion Gathering clover seed. It is seldom that clover straw can be made ' useful after tho seed has been hailed, so that it is a saving of labor, to ent it as high as pos­ sible, taking oflly the heads. By using the scythe, or cradle, this cannot bo done ; anti it will >*e found much better to uae a mowing machine, having a table attached to the cut. ter bar, or a clover-seed, gatherer made ex- pivssly fo" this work. The former method is a convenient one, but it is only a makeshift after all. It consists in attaching on the cutter bar, a rght frame of hickory slate, made somewhat like a' set of cradlo teeth, so that it w ’ll slide early over the ground. A stout cloth is spread tightly .over tho frame, upon which the clover heads may be gathered os they are cut. A machine, of u hich the bar can be raised several indies, if necessary, is preferable for this work. Then the clover heads o-’y need bo cut. As they are cut, they are raked back oh the cloth, until it is full, when *hc load is dravi 1 off, and left ia a heap trd y. The ra'cc-should boa sort of scraper, as teeth are urncce.-sary. A broad lath as long as the cutter bar attached to the rod, is the best tool. A cut of a machine for gathering clover eccd is «»ven in the Acgast number of the Agri- cultvrali^. It is automatic, and docs its on j clearing of the teeth, by means of a revolv­ ing scraper, whieh is operated by the carrying wheels. The machine ia guided by tho curved bar behind, and drawn by one home. The management of the clover aced crop ia very simple; It is improved by frequent wetting and drying, as then tho seed is more easily hulled, than when it is cured in dry weather. If tho weathet should be dry, it is best to rake the straw, or the heads,into small heaps, letting them heat moderately ; aftei wards spreading the heaps in the sun to dry. The raking may be done while still wet with dew, which will assist the fermentation, snd heat­ ing, which partly rote the hulls, and helps tho cleaning. The crop, when perfectly dry, after two or three weeks* exposure to the weather, should bo stored iu a comer of the barn. A Patient Parsov.—At Stoketley, in Yorkshire, there lives a man who once aa-sisted iu singing the whole of tho 119tn Psalm. This, added to the fact Hint lie is descended from a long line of gravedig­gers, has gained for him the respect of Lis fellow-townsmen. About sixty years ngothe parson of that parish thought it liia duty to atteud marriage feasts, and the parish clerk at the same limo thought it his duty to assist at cbristoniDgten-p.nl tics.These two functionaries quarrelled, and tho paraou ono day commanded tho clerk’s presence at au hour when mulhus would beat their best. The clerk saw the move, and he determined on his revenge. Having got the choir and band ou his side, ou aSunday moruing when the parson had shortoued his sermon iu order to dine with Darby and Joan, just married, instead ofgiving ont part of the 119th Psalm, thecleik gave out, “ Lot us sing to the praise and glory of God tho 119th Psalm—all on'l? The parson, with bis head on thepulpit cushion, for some time did not no­ tice what was going on, and by the time that he did tho musicians were fairly alwork, and, in spite of all ho could say or do, were not to be denied. The air was never lost. The fi.ldlers wore *ut their bows and strings, tho flute player blew outhis front teeth, the clarionet never recov­ ered its tone, and the singers all suffered more or less, but they kept it up to the bitter end, and finished at three o'clock iuthe afternoon, after four hours’ work. Many of the congregation went to their dinner, and returned in the afternoon tofinish, but the parson won much re­ spect by sticking to his pulpit to the last, when be gave the usual benediction.
