Hisloi'j of a Ruin Drop. Various theories havo been advanced to account Tor tho formation of miu drops, hut the iiumt satisfactory explanation is that proposed by Professor Osborne Ruyuolds. Thy minuto particles of which clouds are composed are moving downward in consequence of the attraction of gravity; but by reason of the resistance which the air offers to their descent, they aro only moving very slowly. Sinco, however, the resistance offered to the passage of large drops is much sinalloi- in proportion to their weight than that offered to small drops, it follows tliat the large drops will descend faster than the smaller ones, and will overtake thoni, coming into collision with any which arc iu the direct lino of their descent. When two drops collide thoy will unite to form a larger drop, wliich will descend with increased velocity, sweeping up all smaller drops in its path, and thus increasing in size until it emerges from tho cloud. Sincu many clouds aro several miles in thickness, it is easy to nee that a purticlo descending from the upper part of the cloud may become a raindrop of considerable size beforo it emerges from the cloud. In their passage from the cloud to the earth the larger raindrops will overtake the small ones iu a precisely similar way. At the same timo tho size of tho drops may be slightly increased by tho condensation of water from thu air through which thoy aro 'falling, m- may bo slightly diminished by partial evaporation from tho surfaces of tho drops, A falling raindrop descends with a velocity which increases until the acceleration'is balanced by the resistance uf tho air, after which the drop descends with uniform velocity. It iu, of course, well known tliat large chuuls may exist without any rain fulling fruui them. In wmiu cases rain is actually formed, hut evaporates and is again converted into vapor beforo it can reach the ground; in many cases tho non- formation of rain is possibly due to ilut fact that under certain unknown atmospheric or other conditions tho particles forming the clouds do not unite whon they collide. As au agent of geological change, rain is of tlio greatest importance. It plays a large part in the disintegration of rocks and tho formation of soils,' washes the'smaller particles into stroiuus and rivers, and is, in fact, ouo of thu most important of the various denuding agents, Indeed, sinco rain is the ultimate source of all our brooks, rivers, otc, it may bo said to bo tho principal aguut of geological change ou tho earth's surface. The amount of the rainfall varies vciy considerably iu different countries and in different parts of tho same country, depending on geographical position, the conformation of tho surface of the ground, the proximity of largo lakes and the sea, etc. Thu heaviest annual full of rain occurs in thu none of calms over the equatorial region of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and on the west coast of the British hies, India, Norway, North and South America and Nuw Zealand. In all theso latter 'districts tho we.it wind blows over a largo tract of ocean and becomes heavily charged witli moisture which it deposits when forced upward hy the action of tho mountains on Hio coasts. The driest districta iu the world aro tho desort rcgtoUB of Asia and Africa. The amount of rain wliich falls in single showers is sometimes enormous, especially in the tropica. In tho Uritish Isles ouo uf thu heaviest fulls on record in a fall of 5.3(1 ihchus in twenty-four hours, In Monmouthshire, July It, 1870. On October, 25, 1830, at Gibraltar thoro was a fall of iW.ll inehes.—t'ami's Concise. Cyclopedia. ARCH.

Sitlardny Hornluu, Marrli I. I8M. Lynch Law. A telegram published in The Columbian last Wednesday furnished particulars of tho murder of n man named Bell, ut Nootsuck, on the south sido of tho boundary. The supposed murderer is Sam, un Indian belonging to Sumas. From later despatches whioh we publish to-day it seems that the people across the line determined that Jack was guilty, and that it was safer to hang him than to depend upon the uncertainties of the criminal courts. Their determination has been carried into effect, and it remains to be wen what the Canadian authorities propose to do in the premises. Sam and his relatives were a bad lot, and there will bo few regrets wasted upon the suddenness of his exit. But some serious international questions may grow out of this summary and unlawful mode of procedure. Mr. Wm. Moresby went up from tliin city yesterday morning to enquire into lhe circumstances, nnd we understand that the superintend ent of police will ulso proceed as soon ns possible to Sumas. lt is not probable that any of the actors in this tragedy will be identified, however, as they were masked and would undoubtedly take the necessary precautions to prevent detection. Probably Canada will muke a demand upon the United States for their arrest, which cannot be done, nnd there the mutter will end. Gladstone Sustained. Nothing shows the weakness of the Conservative ; arty in the British House of Commons mote clearly than the vote on the resolutions condemning tlio government's Egyptian policy. The campaign in the Soudan has been very unfortunate. It brought disaster to the British plans nnder circumstances which must have been humiliating to British pride und patriotism. It is true the defeated troops were Egyptians, and behaved so badly that they were entitled to no public sympathy; but they wero led by British officers, and Britain could not escape from the odium which attached to the disaster. Tlie massacre of the brave Tewtik Bey and his heroic six hundred at Sinkat followed so closely upon lhe heels of other misfortunes that the British nation might well be indignant ut what appeared to be a cowardly government policy. The Conservatives did not fail to take advantage of the situation. They made a vigorous attack on the government. Backed by the Irish malcontents, it wus' feared that they would be able to carry a vute of censure, und defeat the Gladstone administration. But the attempt failed completely. The dream of victory under circumstances of such peculiar embarrassment was suddenly turned into real and undoubted defeat, und the substantial government majority of 49, in spite of the 34 Irish votes cast ugainst them, shows that the Conservative party must he very weak in the house. In his foreign policy Gludstone has more than once manifested n want of decision and firmness which hns resulted in disaster. In this respect he is very unlike his predecessor, tlie lute Loid Buacotinfield. But Beacons- field went to the other extreme nnd plunged the nation unadvisedly into complications from whioh it wis sometimes found difficult to retreat. It seems that tho nation preserves its confidence in the general policy of the Gladstone administration and is willing to forgive the mistakes which como out of liis extreme caution. The brilliant administration of Beaconsfleld did uot suit the notions of the staid Britons, however much it might captivate the French element. Since Beaconsfield's death tbe party has beeu left practically without a lender, and its strength has gone with its cohesion. Recent events seem to indicate, however, that vory strong measures will have to be adopted if British influence and prestige ure to be maintained in Egypt and the east, and it is sincerely to be hoped the Gladstone administration may he found equal to the emergency. Wealth in sawdust. Some time ego an article appeared in The Columbian giving particulars of the manufacture of wooden- ware and furniture ont of sawdust. The description then given of that interesting process was not by nny means a fancy picture drawn from Imagination. There are a number __wsss__mBsassssasss-^t^ of factories in operation where sawdust is being used for the purposes named, and the product has been thoroughly tested and pronounced a success. Woodenwaro of almost any description may be fashioned out of this prepared and compressed sawdust, and it possesses over ordinary wood many substantial advantages. It is made without joint, it does not warp, it never splits or shrinks, and it takes a very high polish. In tliis city and district, where many tons of sawdust are thrown away every year, it is u pity some industry could not be established by which this waste material might bo made productive and valuable, Wo have three large saw mills in operation at our very door, and nt Burrard Inlet there uro two more still larger, In a late eastern exchange we find a now discovery for extracting wealth out of sawdust. At the village of Deseronto, Ont., a lnrge milling business has for some years been carried on, The Rathhun Mill company for some time were seriously embarrassed with the question pf disposing of the sawdust and other refuse matter constantly accumulating about tlieir establishments. In order to solve this problem they engaged a practical chemist who begun experimenting. Every one knows that pine contains valuable ingredients, but it is not generally known that these can be extracted in sufficient quantities to make the operation profitable. This company found that tbey could. At their extensive works they have been for years extracting acids aud tnr und other things of commercial value from the mill lefnse by a process which leaves at least a margin for profit. In the course of their experiments they have lately made another discovery, however, wliich promises very great results. For the past fifteen years many persons have endeavored to make illuminating gus out of pine. These attempts have been partially successful, but in nearly all cases the process hus been abandoned und tlie gas companies have gone back to coal, But in making coal gas it is well known that there is always a considerable waste of material. During its conversion into coul by natural processes in the earth, wood undergoes a chemical change and a considerable portion of the carbon contained in it becomes fixed, When coal is distilled for gas this fixed carbon, over 60 per cent, of the coat, remains in the-retort as coke. But when wood is distilled there remains only 20 per cent, of the original mass, in the shape of charcoal. From this it appears that a ton of wood should yield 80 per cent, of gas, whereas a ton of coal yields less than 40 per cent. But the difficulty which hus hitherto been met is that the illuminating power of wood gas is very small. It is claimed tliat the Rathhun process wholly overcomes this difficulty. According to the published statement the invention consists in mixing tar, while in n fluid state from heat, with sawdust, and after thoroughly mixing tliese ingredients immediately consolidating them in a powerful machine capable of effecting so closo a union between them ns to render tlieir separation during roasting impossible. Fortunately for the success of this invention u machine lias lately been invented known ns the Smith consolidator, which accomplishes tho purpose more effectually than was heretofore considered possible, and which has been used at Deseronto in this demonstration, By the agency of this machine the compound of dry sawdust and talis hammered into a block, of any shape or size, which weighs 64 pounds to the cubic foot, as against nine pounds per cubic foot for tho dry uncompressed sawdust or 35 pounds per cubic foot for the solid wood. These blocks of artificial wood bear transportation much better than bituminous coal, and as a proof of their density may be planed or sawed with us much facility as the natural wood. These consoli- dators have been constructed of a capacity of 15 tons of blocks per working day, at a total cost for drying and compressing the blocks of not over 70 cts. per 2,000 pounds. It will be seen from the above that a formidable rival to coal as a gas making material hns arisen whioh fur surpasses it in the number of cubio feet of gas obtained from a given weight and at the same time furnishes a gas which, owing to the absence of ull sulphur compounds, possesses none of the Injurious qualities of ordinary coal gas. The common average is 9,000 to 10,- 000 cubic feet of gus from n ton of coal, but from these sawdust blocks the yield is 38,000 to 40,000 cubio feet per ton! The difference in the cost of the two kinds of gas is as marked as ths difference in quantity produced. in Ontario coal gus costs from 50 to 70 cents per 1000 cubic feet, but the cost of gas from I ■ . 1 II. J.., I Lg these sawdust blocks is estimated at 86.12 for 38,000 feet. Tho question of properly lighting this city will soon bo pressing upon us. Victoria i has thrown away her gas works for the electric light, but it is genoral ly admitted that the costly experiment is not very successful. The merits of tho sawdust gas-block invention should be examined, and if it is really u success the problem of lighting our city will become very easy of solution. HKIXIII.KV, ■ PKAOTICAI. MECHANIST.

Weioiits and Measurer. — Capt. Good, ihspector of weights nnd measures, arrived in'this city last Tuesday afternoon, and has opened nn oflico in the post-ofiico building (front room, ground floor). It is the intention of tho / Dominion authorites, wo believe, to enforce strictly throughput this provinco the Dominion act of 187.* regulating weights and measures. Tho provisions of tho act nro very stringent, and tho penalties for neglecting to comply with thum aro sufficiently Berious to demand tho attention of all persons concerned. All weights and measures must conform to tlio imperial standard, nnd they must bu stamped by tho inspector befotu thoy cau bo used lawfully in trade, Persons dealing in weights aud measures must have thom inspected and stamped also, undor a penalty of 825, aud a penalty of 920 is imposed on any poison who rofuscB to produce his weights and moiumifui for inspectiou; Sueh n law can only be made useful by becoming genoral, and it is to bo hoped all persons will submit their weights and measures without delay to Cnpt.

Findley, of Victoria, has opened a shop noxt door to tho tolephone office, whore people mny have their scales nnd weights adjusted. It is no part of tho iuBpootor s duty to adjust: he simply inspects and stamps. But it is evidont that unless some person is present with the appliances necessary to mako the adjustment, tho inspector's visit would be almost fruitless. For this reason Mr, Findley has come, and although he has no official connection whatever with the inspector, his presence afford* on excellent opportunity to those, who wish thoir weights and measures adjusted for inspection, From Sumas.

When the mountain systems had been perfected, encircling the waters between the Rocky Mountains and Cascade Range, forming a great inland sea, tho tide no longer ebbed and flowed thero "twice in twenty-fuur hours." But whon the alarm of the storm was sounded; when the thick clouds were mustered for the black tempest, and the winds burst forth in their mad fury, thon the waves dashed up the steep sidos of the sand cliffs and each loft ita ripple marks as it receded, In the process of time the sand was changed to stone, the vtnvg lines still remained - -mementoes of a past epoch, As the upheaval of the bed of the imprisoned waters continued, their sur- faco gradually rose until far above the level of the ocean, unable to escape the mountain chain that formed an impenetrable barrier to their egress. If thore wi.s a diminution from evaporation, it was moro than compensated by tho rainfall during thu rainy season.

Although few in numbers here, it makes us feel both strong and thankful to know tlint in every capital and leading city and town of every state and territory of the Great Republic the most intelligent, energetic, honorable and holy women of the nation have organized themselves into one great aniiy, for the protection of all they hold most dear; their watchword being, "For. God and Home and Native Laud." In the United States alone there are over 3,000 auxiliaries, with a paying membership of 125,. 000 women. The various local unions in each state are auxiliary to their own state union nml the several state unions are auxiliary to the National Union of which the gifted Miss Frances E. Willard is the President, Iu our own Dominion tho TV. C. T, U. has been planted and is growing rapidly. Mrs. Letitia Youmans is our recognized loader aud lecturer iu Canada. For several years she was tho pr sidetit of the Ontario union and she now travels and organizes new societies in the provinces. Before long we hope to have a Dominion National, uniting all the provinces. When MIsb Willard visited Victoria Inst summer she assisted in organizing in that city both a provincial and local union, and last September our own local union wns organized iu New Westminster, by Mrs. McNaiighten, the frovincial vice -ii resident of this district, n tho Old World, too, the women are at work, preparing for what I trust we may vet live to see, a World's W.

The good news coines to us from Germany, France, England, India, China nnd other distant parts and we rejoice to know that our universal christian sisterhood are awaking to tho consciousness of the grent responsibility resting upon thein, and thoy no longer dare to remain inactive In England they have organized under the name of "The British Women's Temperance Association." As chairman of ono of thoir anniversary meetings held recently, the Rev.-Charles Garrett addressed them, and in his closing remarks said: "Thereare. just three questions I should like evory mother who is not un abstainer to put to herself, upon her knees. The first question is this— May I be an abstainer 1 Is there any law anywhere that snya I must not? Ami free ? Well, you know what the answer will be—you may abstain. Then the next question is—Ought I to be an abstainer? Put the may first, then bring the ought.. Ought I to be? In the presence of all these evils, in tho presence of the danger to whicli everybody is exposed who takes the drink, ought 1? I henr ladies say they really don't know Imw they can do anything. Why, put on the blue ribbon, and as you walk down the streot you will do good. Many a.voting lady, I believe, at the last day will know that tho wearing of that bit of blue was the greatest thing sho ever did in her life. Ought I, for the suke of the country with which 1 am associated, for the sake of Christ? May I? There is no law against it. Ought I? From every side there comes the cry, 'You ought.' Then thero is the third question—Shall I ? You must decide that, 1 can not." But to return to the American continent and to the W. C, T. U. which wo so feebly represent, for we hnvo yet to celebrate our first anniversary in this province and we are but just learning to follow in the footsteps of our devoted leaders, I have beeu greatly interested in rending the "Union Signal" ami Miss Willard's book, "Woman and Temperance," nud through them have gained some knowledge of tlio origin and early history of the National W.

After a few applications the pain left mo entirely, and I bad no pains since. Do not take Electric or Electron Oils, hut Me ihat you get Dr. Thomas' Kclectric Oil," from them this evening:—-Ten years ago, the SUrd of last December, Dr. Dio Lewis, of Lexington, Mass., delivered his lecture, "Woman's Prayer in Grogshops," in the Presbyterian church of Hii Inborn, Ohio, In the course of his lecture lie told of the successful efforts made by his own mother and other heroic women to induce tho saloon-keepers to stop selling liquor, and in concluding called upon tho women present to ex- fijresa, by rising to their, feet, their wil- lugness to undertake a similar mission in their own town. After a short pause, "about fifty women, of overy age and degree, Were standing, with quivering nerves and throbbing nearts, pledged in God's sight" to go forth in Hu might to overthrow the Goliah of strong drink. Dr. Lewis then asked how many men in that audience would stand up to sustain the ladies iu this work, nnd "forty of the best, most reliable men of the town arose." Tin* meeting then adjourned, it being arranged that the women and their supporters moot again at nine the next morning to decide upon a plan of action. Just here allow mc to introduce to you a gentle, christian lady of sixty yeats, the wife of nn Ohio judge, Mrs., Eliza J. Thompson, ef Hillsboro. She was not at the mooting on the night of the 23rd, hut her sou, a lad of sixteen years, was, nml when he returned home he related to his mother, in an excited manner, the events of the evening, adding, "And now mother they lmvo got you into business, for yon mc >m a committee to do some work nt tiio Presbyterian church iu the iiiuruhur at nine o'clock and then the ladies want you tn go out with thom to tlio saloons.

They immediately felt at perfect liberty and after committing all their ways to God iu prayer nnd seeking His divine strength ami presenco, having previously read together the 140th psalm, they went forth, two and two, the small women iu trout ami the taller onos following, singing as they went thoir crusade hymn, "Give to the winds thy fears; hope abd be Undismayed; God hoars thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift Up thy head," Just as they passed through the church gateway into the Btreet, .they were singing: "Far, far above thy thought, IHib counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought, That caused thy needless fear." Day after day they met and prayed and started out upon their self-sacrificing mission, and many of the saloon-keepers yielded to their prayers and tears, until one day au injunction was filed against the street work, ut the suit of a liquor-selling druggist. But this could not prevent their meeting for prayer and ever since a weekly meeting has been held as tho result of that beginning. The crusade fire spread fast, and the women of many other states did noble work for the cause of temperance. In the month of August following Dr. Vinceut called together the first national suuday-school assembly, upon the shore of Lake Chataiiqua, where for two weeks they dwelt in tents and worshipped in nature's temple. Among the earnest sunday-scliool workers who met there were to be found many of the women who had drawn near to God in satoou prayer meetings, and as they conversed together of their past conquests, they felt their hearts aflame again with holy zeal. One day in a woman's prayer meeting in one of the tents, Mrs. Mattie McL'lellan Brown, while on her knees, received the idea, as an inspiration, that the temperance women of the different states should unite as one organized society. She immediately imparted the thought to a ladv kneeling at tier side, Mrs, Russell, of Chicago, and they ut once brought it before the prayer meeting in which it hnd been given them, The idea woe accepted and it was decided to call the ladies together that afternoon for consultation. Dr. Vincent announced the meeting from the platform of the canvas tabernacle, and there at the close of the temperance prayer meeting at four o'cloek tho women succeeded in forming a committee of organization and arranged for the holding of an organizing convention in Cleveland, Ohio, November 18th, 10th, and 20th, 1874, invitations for which were sent out, asking for a delegation consisting of one woman from each congressional district. Accordingly this convention was held in the Second Presbyterian church, Cleveland, Mrs. Jennie V. Willing occupying the chair. Sixteen states were represented and the officers of the National Women's Christian Temperance Union were elected for the yenr as follows: President, Mrs. Annie F. Witten- myer; vice-presidents, one from each state represented; recording secretary, Mrs. Mary C. Johnson; corresponding secretary, Miss Frances K. Willard; treasurer, Mrs. W. A. Ingham. Tliese remained hi office without muoh cliango for five years when, in 1579, Miss Wil lard was elected president and ever since she has been the accepted and beloved leader of this grand christian army. This year when she was re-elected the enthusiasm ran so high that ono lady rose nnd said, "Let us sing Gad save our Queen," aud this they did right loyally. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, in all its various departments, hns been called the "Sober second thought" of the crusade. Its members no longer content themselves with occasional visits to liquor saloons, iu the hope of persuading individual offenders to surrender, but they endeavor to influence the law-makers, and pray for the time when the manufacture and sale of poison as a beverage shall be prohibited by law. They also follow the victims of strong drink to the hospitals and gaols and by loving ministry try to restore them to health and virtue. They visit the gangs of railroad working men, and by kind words aud the distribution of temperance literature give them courage to abstain from evil and stand firm for the right. Thuy gather together the sailors and seamen in some convenient Bethel room, and there read God's word with them and sing and pray aud talk till very many of these oftimes "prodigal sons" gladly receive the good news nud are restored to thoir Father's Home. They establish friendly inns, frequently in buildings which have been usee for the sale of liquor, on wharves and near depots, and there they offer refreshment and rest to weary travellers, free from [ allurements to vice and surrounded with all good influences. They also open up coffee houses, where nightwatehnien and belated ones may be invigorated without any danger uf intoxication. And last, but by no means least, they educate the children, those who havo never known, from its use, what alcohol iH, and by teaching them its nature and effects, cause them to hate and shun it aa they would arsenic. In ten years from now we hope to Bee a race of intelligent temperance men, worthy of a place in any legislative assembly, and tenrperance women worthy to become their life-long companions and advisors. In conclusion I will give you a few sentences from the closing remarks of Miss Willard's annual address i—"Beloved, we have given hostages, not to fortune, but to humanity. We are building better tban wo know. We stand not only for the cause of temperance, but for a diviner womanhood that shall ere long bring In the era of 'sweeter manners, purer laws.'

Eighty-live thousand pounds!—there suddenly spread before me a dazzling son—-a sea of gold, and ita waves were bringing one who was dear to me "through life to death,"--ouo who was serving in a weary exile for the Rachel of his love. Let no one say proudly that he can surmount temptation, for we know not how weak we are till we ure tempted—till some brilliant vision of hope blot out tho wrong and confuse tho right, as for one giddy, uncertain moment it bewildered me. For while Mr. Delany's babbling faraway voice wandered meaiiinglessly on, my thoughts, winged with an intolerable impulse, were skimming the ocean, and had arrived to where my lonely Koith wns working out his heart's blood beneath the burning sun, that ho might tho sooner come back to me and Sunnyside; and look! how the golden waves are lapping at his feet with their message of Nellie's love: the little boat, the rippling sunlit sea, last night's dream. Oh for tho J'earning of a passionate heart just earning the strength of its lovel And then I thought of tho manso, its good minister gone, Aunt Margaret in her widowed loneliness, and Katie in hor pure unselfish grief; and I thought how the golden sea would bring back the son and brother to their hearthstone and make their sad hearts sing for joy. And then my hent head was suddenly raised, and Roso's sweet kiss of peace fell like dew on my hot brow. "Look up, Helen—we are all waiting to congratulate you. Why, your eyes nre full of tears, love—you cannot think wo aro sorry, Philip aud I, that this rich gift has passed to you— nay, cheer up—much blessing and much good attend you and it." But answer made I tiono, for tho strange beating at my heart, as I roso and crossed the room to where the lawyer sat clearing his throat over Ins papers. "Which part of the will relates to me, Mr. Delany? show me tho exact place." "This, my dear young lady—look, hero is your name, clear as print, Helen Marion Mortimer, and a nice pretty name it is, too. The rest is only servant-)' legacies, and so forth." "Good," I answered, "I understand;" and then I took it in my hand, and knelt down by tho sofa, wliere Philip lay with shaded face and weak irrepressible tears starting through his wasted fingers. On Beeing mo near him, he brushed them hurriedly away, and began i half-joking speech of congratulation but I stopped him. "By this will, Captain Hazeldean. your aunt hat disinherited you, and bonueathod the wholo of her landed and personal property to myself, being no relation, but only her god-daughter and the child of lm- friend; nnd she further deputes me, as her sole legatee, so it is worded, I think, to make over to yuu the sum of one hundred and fifty per annum—is uot that correct?" "Quite correct, Miss Mortimer," he replied, coldly; "but it is for Captain Hazeldean to decide whether he deign to accept that paltry sum." "It is for Captain Hazeldean to do nothing of the kind," I replied, turning ret) nnd throwing the will into the fire. "It is a wicked, monstrous, unjust will, and Helen Marion Mortimer will have nothing to aay to it, and will never touch one farthing of money, which belongs to you, and I only hopo that dear Rose and you may long live to spend and enjoy it;" and sitting down on tho floor, I began sobbing liko a child. "Helen—-iny dear Miss Mortimer," cried poor Philip, quite overcome, and Btammering painfully, "this generosity—this kindness, I cannot, muat not accept. Come tome, Rose; what are we to say to it—what arc we to doi" "Do, my dear Captain!" said Mr. Delany, bustling about, and blowing his nose loudly: "nay, if this noble young lady does the right thing, and puts you in possession of what, as the rightful heir, yuu had reason to expect, you can do no better than what ■he herself says, enjoy it with the good lady your wife." "But we can divide it," persisted Philip. "Miss Mortimer can take half." "No, no, I cannot touch it; pray do not pain mo so; I have no right at all to it—it ia yours and Rose's." And then Dudley came nnd lifted me up, and standing with his arm round me, and a proud pleased look on his face, quietly reiterated my words, "My sister has acted according to her own good impulse; but if I could have advised hor, my counsel would havu been just the samo"--and then, with such a smile, "I only hope, Nollie, that those quick little fingers of Jours have not too much complicated Ir. Delany's work with regard to the lesser legacies," at which Mr. Delany laughed and took snuff again. And then Philip rose from his sofa nnd camo towards me; his words were few, hut full of gratitude, but nothing touched tne so much as the way in which Roso pressed my hands to her lips, and held thom there for a moment without speaking. Bo Hazlitt Hall would seo its rightful master again, and the curse, causeless, break harmlessly upon his head. It was a cheerful little dinner-party that day;'Philip was restored for tho time being to something of his old self again, and talked of the sea- breezes and their restorative effects, till the faint color stole into his face and warmed his languid pulses; aud Dudley talked with him, nnd was as merry as a boy. Mr. Delany dined with us, and told ui old court stories of Oeorgo the Third and Mrs. Fanny Burney, and the prim, snuff-loving old Queen Charlotte; and became at Inst so wildly hilarious over his claret, that he invited Dudley to bring me down to Oatlands, whero Susy and Anna, his daughters, would bu happy to make the acquaintance of the young lady who could afford to give awny eighty- live thousand pounds. And after that we bade thom goodbye, and started for town, intending to reach Sunnyside by half-past ten. It was quito dark when we arrived at the station, and were cozily shut up in the snug railway carriage. Dudley had not spoken to mo as yot, but when tho train commenced moving into the darkness, he put his hend under my chin nnd snid, playfully: "Well, pet, how about your pretty littlo legacy now?" And for all tlint It was so babyish, 1 put my liend on his shoulder and cried bitterly. "Why, Nellie," ho cried, once or twice, "uhy, Nellie " and then he teemed to understand it. for ho drew me closer to liim, and kissing me fond ly, told me, that when Keith had heard what I had dono lie would love me twice as woll. We reached home punctually, and found Louie all smiles, and very glad to seo us again. There was quite a budget of letters and news to be unfolded; for when Louie had heard all that we could tell, and had exhausted us with questions, she gave us a long letter from Bruco^ full of business and painful details— a round-about epistle from Halcot, and another from Herwald, fixing his return for that day week. It waa written in very cheerful spirits, and containod ninny meaanges for me. Ho had seen Arthur threo times, and Milly twice; sho was looking rather better, ho thought, but very thin; all tho Willoughbys seemed to take to her immensely, and to pet nnd make much of her, almost us if she were a daughter of the house. Ho said Halcot wus considered a fine fellow in the north, and was already a first-rate horseman, and rode over to Holly-bush Farm every day to see Lucy and Honnie, and spent his evenings in tho library looking at pictures and drinking strong coffee, except when hu entrapped him into the hall for a turn with the foils and boxing-gloves. Altogether it was a very merry lotter, and quite raised our spirits. And when I had tucked up Charlie with a motherly kiss, and soon Rill's curly head rolling on tho pillow; I went up to my room with a lightened thankful heart, and fell aslcop whilo trying to recall the occurrencca of tho day. ****** One day another carrier pigeon, or northern swallow, ns Dudley termed them, came down from Lancashire for Louie, and this timo tho fluttering of its wings seemed to disturb her serenity more thnn their wont, but ns usual she strove to hide it, nml nothing whs said. Dudley had a long letter too, in which Herwald announced liis intention of arriving nt Sunnyside the following evening. "Wliich, by the way," ho growled, "ih very provoking, ns I havo to start to Monk ton to-morrow morning to soo the Stuarts of Uilaaton about the commission they promised us, and, as it is a wretchedly out of the way place, shall probably bo obliged to take np my abode there nt nn inn for tho night. Why could not the fellow lmvo named nn oarlior or a later dny?" "Nevor mind," I replied, "it docs not much matter, for you seo ho cannot be with us till eight or nine, and so the evening will be broken up, ns it is, and he will need no other entertainment than Louio and I can give him.'1 But Dudley hnd mnde up his mind to be disappointed, and on tho day in question wont off to keep lm appointment with n very rueful face, wliich 1 laughingly told hiin was more worthy of a Quixoto than n Seneca. Dudley's disappointment, however, serious as it npperred, was nothing to Louie's restlessness. Early in the morning sho got out her painting apparatus, and placing herself near tho light, began working away industriously, while 1 trotted about the house "on hospitable thoughts intent." Happening to revisit the drawing- room Bomo half-hour later, I found her standing at the window iu her hat and mantle, and leisurely drawing on her gloves. "Going out, Louie?" I exclaimed in surprise, "Yes," sho replied, looking up with rather tired eyes, "1 lmvo got a fit of tho vapors thia morning, and I am going to walk it off. Any commissions in town!" "Oh, yea," I returned, delighted, and sitting down I penciled off a long list to the grocer and haberdasher, with many minute verbal directions, to which Louie listened dreamily, nnd thon departed. At the early dinner hour ahe reappeared, looking draggled, wan, nnd weary, with her dress two inches deep in yellow clay, , "Why, my dear Louie," I exclaimed, "what a stato you are in; surely you hnve never been so foolish as to go to town by the way of tho brickfields?" "Ay," she said, wonderingly; "in a state, am II dear, dear, what a business Hester will have with it, to be Bure. I must have trailed my dress in forgetfulness;" and hurrying awny she presently came back in fresh clean raiment, and took her place at the table. "And what did Chuppins say nbout the flaw in the long-cloth, Louie?" "Chuppins, oh! I forgot; I have not been to town at all; I went down to Stony Clift instead/' "You need not have troubled mo then to write out all those commissions." I returned, rather voxed; "and now I shall hnvo to got Charlotte to go this afternoon instead, which ia very inconvenient; but never mind," as Louie put on a penitent look, "wo shall manage, I dare say, without her. Well, and how ib little Bill?" "Little Bill,' Baid Loo, now turning criniBon, "oh! I did not go in, I only went for the walk, and sat to rest ou the turnstile nt tho end of the field; I was not inclined for old Damo Dorothy's talk." "And you actually went six miles tor nothing? no wonder you look tired and worn out; you must havu a long rest after dinner." But Lome demurred; she must finish her antimacassar for Mrs. Egerton, she Baid, as she hnd only two roses tu do, and would I read to her while sho worked? she felt so dull and listless. Quite flattered by tho proposition, I took up the Blaemtood to which sho carelessly pointed and read till I was very tired and the dusk came on; but I was rather disappointed, I must confess, when I found that hor crochet hnd lain idle in her lap all tho timo, nnd that she had not listened to a word, so I shut up tho book rather abruptly, and remarked that a nap would suit her better, aa I went out of the room. But tho hastiness uf my words smote me when I returned and found her with the traces of freshly-dried tears on her cheek, and noticed the involuntary trembling of tho hands which had now resumed their work. Louio with tears in hor eyes wus nn uuheard-iif sight in our Sunnyside records, but that Louie should lay down her head on my shoulder and cry like a child, suggested to my mind that life must bo very strange with her just now, nud filled me with surprise and terror. But though Bhe suffered me to soothe ami caress her, and seemed to feel pleasure in my doing so, she would not let mo coax her to speak, but dis* regarded all my pleadings for confidence, merely said shu wm low and tired, nnd would I send her up a cup of tea if alio went and laid down? At the usual time, then, I took up the ten, but the door wns fastened, nnd when I knocked s-iftly, a sleepy voice (and apparently a faithfully sleepy one) bade me put it down and go away, which I did, and had a nur- sury meal with Charlie and Kill, after which I told them fairy tales till bedtime, and then came down again to the drawing-room, hoping to find Louie there, but it was empty, so I sat and worked and longed for Dudley; und then went up to soo if Herwald's fire wore burning brightly, and his slippers put to warm, but careful hands had been there before me, and tho room looked cozy and homelike enough. Thero wob a pretty little pincushion on the table, that Louie had once Eleased him by working for him, with is name tastefully embroidered in pins; and there was a little flower-glass inside, which she and I always kept filled from the Thornton conservatory. Louie had chosen the bouquet to-day, a lnrge crimson camellia, with a spray or two of myrtle, and it looked so effective in the midst of the lace and satin drapery that surrounded it, that I went up for the second time to admire it, when, to my surprise, I found Her- wnld'B magnificent emerald ring lying right on tho heart of the flower. "Oh, the carelcsB boy," I aaid to myself, "ho has left it about, I suppose; what a comfort Louie has found it, though, and not one of tho servants! it would bo exposing thom to unnecessary temptation. Even uow I scarcely like leaving it here, but thoy won't be coming into the room again— it is nearly eight o'clock; I hopo it iB all safe, though." But tho emerald blazed bo brilliantly from its crimson setting, and looked bo beautiful, that I silenced my misgivings, and went away. Five minutes afterwards Louie came down looking very fair and pale, and Bnt down to her embroidery. She had dressed herself with great care und wore a lnrge crystal cross on her crape dross, and she had drawn away her hair so as to show more of her broad white forehead. Altogether her appearance wns so pensive and unusual, and hor eyes so sott and sad, that I felt quite alarmed. Ib she going to bo ill, I thought ?—she is certainly a good deal thinner than she was. But no, tho pure hoalthy coloring gave the lie to that supposition, nnd set my wits wool-gathering in another direction. My thoughts were free to wander where they list, for Louie never broke the silence till the church clock chimed niue, then she took out her watch to compare it with tho drawing-room time-piece. "Half an hour lato," I remarked, answering her unspoken thought; "I suppose tho snow and the darkness havo delayed the train a little." "Do you mean to say it is snowing?" she asked, anxiously, "I had no idoa of thnt," "When Charlotte came in at Bevon, alio said it was lying half an inch thick, and that sho could not Bee a yard boforo her; perhaps it iB abating now a little," and I went to the window. "Oh, dear no, what a night it is! there is a perfect snowy whirlwind raging down the lane," and then Louie joined mo, and wo stood nnd looked out togothor. "I wish Dudley were here, Nellie, ho would go down to the station to meet them." "I wish he were," I echoed, sighing; "oh, how I hate those trains!" and at that moment the bitter memory crossed mc of how I had sat iu this very room before, on one sad night in June, waiting for a step I was nevor lo hear again —and, as if she had followed my involuntary thought, Louie shivered and turned away. "If you like," I continued, following her, "I will send Hester into the town to see if she can learn tho cause of this delay, though it is not much over the half-hour yet, and these Lancashire trains aro never due at the minute." "What is the exact time that they fixed for being here—at this house I moan ?" "Twenty past eight at the latest, Herwald said," I replied, with n sudden misgiving, "nnd it is ten minutes paat nine It is certainly very Bt range; we will wait another quarter of an hour, however, nnd then Hester had better go." So wo waited the quarter of an hour, Louio with her watch in her hand, and then Hester waa roused from her warm dozing by the nursery fire, to go out into tho bleak inclement night; but Hester was a good faithful-hearted girl, nnd nover domurred or grumbled at rendering any service to her young mistresses, so sho salied forth cheerfully with hor old battered umbrella, and promised to hasten back again with speed if she could. And I Bat and stitched awajr and broke my thread a score of times, snapping it impatiently at every chance sound about the house, while Luuie, now nut attempting to conceal her discomfort, wandered restlessly from window to window, or made for tho hall door overy five minutes, where she stood peering out into tho darkness, with her hair nnd dross blowing in the draught. "Why, Louio, dear," I exclaimed, when she returned for the fifth time, and stood leaning her urin disconsolately on the mantel-piece, "just look, tho snow you have brought in is melting and running in little rivulets all down your best dross. Do let mo dry it fur you, or you will spoil my bright fender.'' But Louie, shaking the folds carelessly out, put mo away from her with hot, impatient hands, and went back again tu tho window. Presently the clock struck ten. Louie looked at me, and I nt her, and then wo both made a simultaneous movement to the door. "I can't boar it any more," she said, pausing un the liall-nmt, and pressing her hand suddenly to her heart, "I am sure there iB something wrong; what shall wo do? let us go down to the stile—anything is better than waiting hero." "No; what good would it bo? do not lot us be bo disheartened; it is only ten now, and yot, my poor little Halcot—" "Halcot!" said Louie, in a low tone; "I forgot the boy. Hark! there ii Heater comeback; lum sure I heard a step," and, trembling so that I could hardly breathe, we threw open the duor. What a night it was! The snow had ceased, but it was pitchy dark, and a rising wind moaned among the leafless trees, and whistled coldly round my neck and fnce. "Surely it was your fancy, dear," I said, but as I spoke a sudden mighty gust dislodged me from the step where I was standing ou tiptoe, una drove me right into a pair of wet, rough arms, which lifted mo up like a child nnd carried me in. mm DRY M!
