Tho hour set for the celebration of tho nuptials of ihe mistress of Deepdale aud Captain Lennard is 12 o'clock ir. Half an hour before the appointed lima, Mrs. St. Clair, with her costly dress, tucked up beneath rlie protecting' folds of a huyo satin-lined water-proof gossamer, leaning on the , arm of General Dale, is led to tho closed carriago in which she will leave tho protecting shades of Deepdale to return to it as Mrs.'Captain Lennard.t=5) j- Her son follows, with Mrs. Dale on one arm and his sister ori the other, and soon they are nil seated in the rnairnifl-, font family earring.. bearing tho South- worth coat of-nrms on its polished pan-- nel, and dri'ven by a coachman in high livery. Tho heads of tho spirited, ' chafing steeds are turned toward the ' Deepdale chapel, , and the carriago rolls away through the blinding misty rain. Helen Pendleton and Percy Randal follow in tho pony carriage. When the wedding party arrives nt the vestibule of the chapel, they And the groom and his friend. Mr. Mason, awaiting' their arrival. The ' ladies are divested of their waterproof wrappings, und shako our, their luxurious trains;. Captain Lennard speak* a few low spoken tender woids of his bride, then gives his arm to Mrs. Dale and leads the way to the chancel. The grand wedding march, plnyed hy skillful flngors, swell�� and, vibrates through every atom of space iu the richly furnished chapel, which is' filled to its utmost capacity'by -the neighboring gentry"and tenants��all who know and love the bride��have flocked �� to the chapel at an early hour to witness her nuptials. Raphael and Helen follow next to the groom and Mrs. Dale. Percy and Beatrice come next, while. General Dale, supporting the fair bride, - brings up the rear, and Mr. Mason slips unobserved into a.pew. Percy Randal has found an opportunity to whisper a word of encouragement into tho car of the young girl at his side, whose face in its set look of suffering, looks moro like she is attending her mother's obsequies than her wedding; for struggle against it as she plight, this dim and unexplainable foreboding of sorrow would not down. Time and time again, has the young girl congratulated herself, that she has conquered at last this, what the others call a whim, an idle fancy, only to discover tho next hour that like "Banquo's Ghost at the Pease,'" it has risen again. At the chancel steps, General Dale changes partners with the groom and falls back The music of tho sweet toned organ is hushed and tho solemn words of the priest,' who stands in �� front of tlio contracting parties, in surplice and stole, fall upon, tho ears of tho assembled throng as he ' repeats tho impressive marriage sorvico of tho church. General Dale gives the bride in marriage. Tlio responses are spoken in low, but not faltering tones. Tho diamond wedding ring is placed by tho. groom on the slender finger of the bride, beside that of another, which though its setting may have thinned by its twenty-one years of constant wear, its brightness ��3till shines with undimned luster. Beatrice listens to * the ceremony like one in a troubled dream; and visions of her own happy childhood, when her noble, father had been all tho world to this woman who has now plighted her troth to another flits before her downcast eyes. "Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." With the sound of these words, conies the thought to the unhappy girl standing with her pnle face and cold hands, "Would to God that this divine command contained still another clauso whioh should read, 'Neither shall tho hand of death free you from this solemn aud binding compact." The music of tho organ bursts forth !n glad, exultant strains, and Beatrice leans still more heavily upon the strong arm of her escort, and with a face as white as her satin bodice join? in the wedding procession that is leaving tho church. At. the elegant wedding breakfast, spread in the dining-hall of Deepdalo, no outside guests sit down except Mr.- Mason and the rector of Deepdalo parish, Mr. White The rain has ceased to fall, 'and thc gale of wind has calmed. Before tho wedding breakfast is finished, the sun breaks through the drifting clouds and falls across the table through the half drawn drapery of the south window, lighting up thc room with cheerful rays. Old Mrs. Dale glances across the table nt hor,husband's face with a significant look in her eyes, and tho general smiles back with a little satisfied nod or two of his grand old head as much as to say. ."there's the sunshine falling upon the bride; so put your' fears at rest, mv dear." Captain Lennard always.makes a good appearance, but ho never appeared to better advantage than on this occasion which to most men as well as women, is a trying ordeal. Ho is dressed in the very latest style, which, however, has been toned down to suit his individual and exquisite tasted His face is a shade paler than usual, his manner subdued and quiet; but. in..the depth of his coal- black, eyes glitters a triumphant look which, to �� a close observer, does not look wholly like the soft, tender light of requited Ibve. The health, happiness and long life1 of the bride and groom are drank in many a glass of exquisite old wine; and in the midst of the gay laughter and sparkling jest, the bride and groom steal softly from the breakfast room, (their, withdrawal seemingly is not noticed by the well-bred guests), and begin their preparations for the bridal journey. The rich wedding dress, which is of some silver gray material, almost covered with creamy old lace, the value of which represents a small fortune, is lain aside by the dexterous hands of the lady's' maid, and its place supplied by the elegant and tasteful traveling costume; and when the wedding guests and members of the family come into the wide hall from the dining room, the bride and groom, equippod for traveling, are descending, the marble dcor. Caprnin Lennard shakes hands warmly with thu guests, and imprint's a farlierly kiss upon tho brows of Beatrice and Helen, who are standing on the broad veranda. General Dale claims his second kiss from the bride, and Mrs. Dale folds her slight form a moment upon her own amplo bosom in a motherly embrace, "while the first tears that have been shed ut this wedding full3 from her kind old eye?. Beatrice who has borne up wonderfully through it all, notwithstanding her whits face and achiDg heart, is thankful that her courage still does not desert her at this trying moment. She embraces- her mother, who whispers in her ear, "God bless you, my darling. Don't worry, but let Mrs. Dale act in my place until'we return."' Then �� turning away quickly, she takes the arm of her son, and with him walks to tho waiting carriage. Raphael is very pale, and his lips twitch convulsively < with suppressed emotion as 'ho kisses his mother, with lips all too agitated to speak, and places her in the waiting carriage. Captain Lennard, who �� is standing besido the open door of the carriage, hat in hand, bows again to the company, springs into the carriage, seats himself beside his newly-made bride. Raphael gives the word to tho driver, and the impatient pawing horses, dash away toward Docpdale station, followed by tho express wagon, bearing the lady's maid, the gentlemanV valet, and the eral Bale challenges Helen to a gamo of chess. "For you know, Miss Helen," he says ruefully, " that you have never yet eiven.rae an opportunity to eec even with you for'the way you wound me up the last time we played, and 1 am just thirsting for revenge." Helen laughs and brings the chess board and places it on a table under1 the chandelier, and is soon deeply interested in the strife going on.between her own men and the General's. A soft colo? cornea and goes on her oval cheek, and her lino form la beautifully outlined by her warm, colored, perfectly litting dress. A charming picture she makes, indeed, as she sits there in unconscious loveliness, so absorbed in the game of chess that sho does not see Raphael, who has softly rentered the room , and is looking at lier with eyes that glow with tho intensity of love.

' ...The Rat .Portage lasslies closed Friday. on luggage. Beatrice stands looking after th departing vehicles until they are lost to view behind a clump of evergreen tree's. Then she turns with " a few low spoken words of apology ' to her guests, enters the house and makes, her way "to her own'room. When safe' within its quito portals, and free, from tho observation of others, tho grasp on her nerves, which sho has held like one of iron, and with which sho has kept her rebellious feelings well iu hand, suddenly relaxes, then loosens, and tho girl throws herelf down upon a low couch in a perfect abandonment of grief, and buries her face In its soft cushions, and hor slender frame shakes with sobs ,and moans, like a reed shaken by the cruel blase of winter. Her costly satin robo, , v+ith its adornment of rich lace, falls from ,the low couch and ' rests on tbo , velvet carpet' in shining folds, and diamonds- gleaip and sparkle on the hand which is tightly clenchod in .in1, agony of grief. Oh! you who are oppressed by the heavy, gallinc chains of poverty and privation; you who think while staggering under your own load of woe, that grief, sorrow and tears come not to tho rich,in this world's goods, but are tho portion of God's poor alono, should havo seen this fair young girl/a's she lay with her flushed face buried in the costly cushions of her couch, with the intensity of her sorrow bursting from 'her anguished heart in sobs, moans and' tears. After having seen this sight, and felt your own eyes grow moist from very' sympathy; then, having,noted tho luxurious apartment, rich in the evidences of unlimited wealth, you would realize in your heart'of hearts that ' "Into all lives somo rain, must fall Some days be dark and dreary." is, spreading In stairs arm in nrm. The carriage stands waiting at the Thoi little Ormolu clock on the marble chimney niece has ticked its hour away; still the storm of grief.in the',,breast of the one occupant of tho room does not subside. A little" low tap from without at last comes on the-.panel- of the'door, but no voice from within bids the intruder enter., Tho door handle is softly turned, the unlocked door flies open and Helen Pendleton enters the room, closes and locks the door behind her, and comes and kneels like a ministering angel beside the prostrate form of her dearly beloved friend, and takes her cold hands in her own warm ones. Then come words of loving sympathy and comfort, not unmingled with advice, which have the true ring of prctical good sense in their depths, characteristic of Helen Pendleton, and their effect soon sets Beatrice to work to gain the self-control which sho has temporarily lost. Then with 'deft fingers Helen removes the girl's satin robe, and replaces it with a soft dressing-gown of white cashmere, stirs and arranges the hot pillows comfortably for the' sufferer, takes off tho high boots and replaces them by soft easy slipper.-;. Then she rings tho bell, and orders tho maid to bring a cup of good hot tea and when it is brought insists ou her friend drinking it. Then closing the blinds and dismissing rhe maid, she sits down by the head of tho couch and smooths the hot forehead of the girl with soft magnetic touch, humming the low refrain of some sweet song the while,' much as one might sing a lullaby to somo grieved and weary child. Soon, -very soon tho quivering eyelids close in sleep ns peaceful as an infant's and an occasional sobbing sigh is all that remains to tell of the wild storm of grief from which Beatrice has been rescued hy tho loving hands and sound judgment of Helen Pendleton. Helen, softly leaves thc room and sends Millie to watch beside her young mistress, charging tho girl to. inform her .tho.'.moment- Miss Beatrice awakes. She goes into her own room and changes the dress she lias worn to. the wedding for one of, dark crimson cashmere, smooths her beautiful hair and descends: to the parlor. '., Raphael has'gone to take Mr. Mason to.the evening train by which ho is to return to tho,city. Mr. White has long since taken his leave, and Percy Randal is seated at the, piano playing somo of Mrs. Dale's favorite music with his exquisite touch, as sho enters the parlor in the soft twilight of the wedding day. General Dale rings the hell and orders the' butler to.bring lights, and Mrs. Dale rouses hersolf up from the depths of her easy chair whew she is, resting after the excitement and fatigue of the day, and inquires after Beatrice. Percy Randal's hands pause over the pearly keys of the instrument, nnd ho turns his head anxiously to catch Helen's reply to Mrs. Dale's question. "She is very comfortable, thank you, Mrs. Dale," answers Helen, cheerfully. "I left her .sleeping nicely, and her headache has quite disappeared." A relieved look steals over Percy's fine countenance, and Mrs. Dale continues:�� ji . . - " "I am so glad to hear that the poor child feels better. I knew that her' mother's going away would upset her. Beatrice is so affectionate, ancl there-is' such a world of sympathy between her mother and horself," and the .good old lady closes her eyes, again and loans bank against, her chair cushions, while Percy's feelings of thankfulness find vent in low sweet strains .of musio which his fingers evoke from the piano.

Port Arthur, De j. 7.��At 1.30 this morning the jury iu the Prevost case returned &�� verdict of guilty, and Chief Justice Armour m an impressive manner commented upon the justice of tlio verdict and condemned the prisoner to be hanged on the 17th of March next, St. Patrick's day. This will be the , first hanging in Port Arthur's history, although there have been several nnir- d?r trials hen-.' , It' was nearly eight o'clock' when Mr. Johnston got lhrough his cross examination of tho prisoner. Mr. MacKay addressed �� the jury for forty-five minutes, but it was ai'up. hill light to say much iu' favor of the prisoner with the masses of, evidence which has been brought out. Mr. Johnston, for the crown, made a brillant address lasiiug fully an hour.' ��\Yhen the-chief justice came to sum up tho evidence he submitted three �� points to the jury: Was trio prisoner sane when rhe crime was committed; did ho commit the crime, and was he sufficiently sane now to advise counsel in his behalf. The chief justice char-' acterized the. crime as' a diabolicil murder, nnd that" it undoubtedly was committed by either the man or wo- mas or both. He thought the circumstantial evidence gave the idea strongly _.thiu the man \vas___tlie guilty party. As according to his own evidence' he plundered tho shanty of what valuables there, were and took them to his own house, and the woman, to a certain ex- '' tent, was an accomplice after the,, fact: Prevost's description of the poisoning told in his evidence did'not agere with the description given the detective, as there was no shooting in the former. Mrs. (Jautier has had quite0 a career' for her age. She lived in a convent from 10 to 15, then married and lived with her husband for two, years, then �� went oil with Prevost and now, at the early age of 20, has returned to tho , husband. She gave her, evidence very clearly and did not appear to'be rattled at all over the crime with which she- was either willingly or unwillingly so closely connected. in the administration of justice in some instances across,, tho line. Tho same spirit had been shown, according to press reports, iu a certain highly interesting trial recently tried iu Ontario. The persons of the judge and jury, in rhe administration of justice, should have the protection of public opinion. The moment that sort of feeling gets abroad men may be deterred from doiug their duty by fear, although in this case the learned judge was not the sort to he affected in that way., �� Indeed, 1 believe," said Judge McDougal, "had he two revolvers pointing at each side of his head, he would not be deterred, from doing his duty." Therefore there was, no particular consequence iu this case. Mob law is a law which should be abolished. .MONDAY, DEC. ".. Earl of Bucban��Lord E ' < \\ �� Know falls Is The dead.

Tho loving cup originated as a matter of precaution in olden times, when apparent friends had an unpleasant method of killing a friend who was a rival while he was drinking.1 So an immense heavy cup was made with a heavy cover.*? The method of' using it can still be witnessed at banquets at the Mansion House in London. The person receiving it stands and turns to his neighbor, who also rises and takes the cover with both hands. The first person then raises the heavy cup to his lips with both'hands,-and, having sipped of the contents, holds it while the friend at his'side replaces the cover and takes �� the cup, repeating the tame process in turn with his next neighbor. Thus, both hands being occupied, there is no possibility of one friend stabbing another, �� In onr timo tho custom has degenerated, and tho cover, as a rule, disappeared. Nevertheless if both hands were occupied that would not prevent tongues from wagging later, and words "are sometimes sharper than swords.��Philadelphia Times. rwiusris..

These diseases are too serious to permit of your experimenting with untried remedies. When you buy Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, you know you have behind them the testimony of thousands of Canadians who have been cured by their use. One of these is Mrs. A. W.

A famous beauty was this Miss Phoebe Pohitlexter, and a most captivating picture she made, in the eyes of the captain of artillery, as she sat thrumming the keys of her harpsichord, after replacing the empty wine glass on the, table near her. The latter was'a handsome young man, apparently thirty years of age, with a perfect a'ir of good breeding and evidently of some 'graces, for he had just finished a solo on the flute ^to the accompaniment of tlie young lady. "The fact is, Miss Phoebe, I hardly know what I should do with myself, were it not for fhe possibility of riding out. here to spend an occasional after;, noon witlryou��or should I say, both in gallantry and truth, .every afternoon with you? The town is simply too dull for a soldier, now that Lord Cornwallis has taken the major part of our' army with him in his chase after the rebel Greene." "And what do you think, captain, arc his chances of capturing Gen. Greene?" "Oh, the chances are perfect, my dear lady. Why, the rebels were absolutely routed, according to our dispatches, at the battle of Guilford Court llouse, and so badly demoralized that they ran from the field like sheep. Indeed there was no necessity for our pursuit. Greene is starving up there in thc mountains of North Carolina and will Riirrondcr at discretion in the course of a week or two. His defeat and reduced circumstances will be the excuse, but the real reason will be British gold. You remember, of cotn-se, our success with their Gen. Arnold. Well, after a man's ambition has been killed, he will not fight in any cause with neither food nor pay. And that is the dire extremity to which Greene has been forced by the glorious success 'of his majesty's arms. My Lord Cornwallis has turned north and in a month will havedefeated ancl captured that littleboy of aFrench- man, La Fayette. With their armies of the south and of the center defeated, he will move next spring upon the only remaining armies of the rebels, that under thc miscreant Washington, It will be a short campaign, a battle, a rout, a pursuit and then peace��and with peace will come its delightful handmaiden love. And then �� then, Mistress Poindexter, I shall have the honor of claiming you for a bride, of selling out my commission and living the quiet life of an English country geutleman for, I hope, the rest of my life." "A charming arrangement of events for yourself, my clear Capt. Webb! But J must pay it appcarn to me ns though Gen, Cornwallis' movement into Yir- ginia is more like a retreat than the ad- vauco of a victorious and conquering pi my. And a^ fur O-n, Greene, they say that he is not only harassing Gen. Cornwallis at every step of his northward movement, but has detached his cavalry aud a portion of his riflemen to reconquer the Carolinas and Georgia.*' "On what utter nonsense do these misguided colonists feed their despairing k��pesl" answered thc captain. "Why, it would be no more ridiculous for you to assure me that a detachment of Marion's outlaws were here, surrounding this very house, and that I was in danger of becoming a prisoner to them, as to��what was that?" The captain jumped hurriedly from his seat and,-grasping the railing of the veranda in front of him for support, looked anxiously up. rind down the road that ran in front of the old plantation. "It Seemed to me like the winding of' a horn," said the lady, calmly; -,; "And, by my faith; T heard the gaL. loping of horses nnd a short command)" continued the captain; excitedly; _ "Inside, inside;! .captain; as .your' ��aiii6 yonr liberty;" sHici t,H�� iadvi "i f&w a mounted inaii' l|i'iioildtJEi tiici'o lii -the bushes just iiovr; unci I,kii6w. iite ti.ni: formlwell."

"By Jove," said the captain to'himsYif, as he turned away.with flushed cheeks, "I never intended td marry her; but outlaws indeed. Ha 1 I will be an agreeable prize for Capt. Pickens. An interesting meeting between two rivals it will be, indeed! I must be saved, madam, or your own loyalty will be put in question." "And, pray, what can I do?" asked the girl drawing herself up to her full height and looking at the English officer with scornful and indignant eyes. "You can tell them that there is no one concealed in your house. He will never dare to doubt your word." �� "You would have me tell a lie to save you��ine, tho woman you pretended to love and wish 1 o make your wife ?" , "It is a case of necessity��quick, they are approaching on both sides. . They have been informed. It i.s a trick!" "Where will you hide?" asked the girl, with an insulting emphasis on the word "hide." "You will tell them that no one is concealed in the house?" , "I shall tell them nothing but the absolute truth��be quick." "Then there is but one place,,where I'will be safe," answered the captain, "ancl there only if he be a gentleman." Saying which, the captain darted up the stairs and entered Miss, Poindex- ter's own chamber. �� He had no more than closed the door when a lithe, athletic young officer in the partisan cavalry leaped over the railing of the veranda and stood, embarrassed and 'hat in hand, bowing before the young mistress of the mansion. , . '��'��-.' "Phoebe!" exclaimed the j'oung soldier. , - "'Would 'it not be better to address me as your prisonerV"'answered Miss Poindexter. "If 1 arn not mistaken, you have surrounded my home with armed soldiers and have come yourself on no gentle errand.'.' �� "Prisoner Phoebe ?" answered the patriot captain. "I would never wish to hold you prisoner, save in the bonds of love. My presence here needs an ex-�� planation and 1 will make it. I have re-:, ceived information that an English officer is visiting you this afternoon. It is a matter of duty. I have been ordered far in advance of the returning troops of Marion and Sumter for the express purpose of catching some of the officers at the garrison at Charleston off their guard; and I expect to apjiear at the very gates of that city before I am done and let them know that, far from being defeated, as they suppose. Gen. Greene's army has driven their red" coats from the Carolinas and is chasing Cornwallis himself to the sea.", "What a romance!" laughed the young lady.,. f "i wish I had time for romance," said ,the officer; "there could be no more delightful opportunity. Only when this war is over will 1 be able to ask you to reward a love that has been faithful to you ever since we were children. But to duty. Are you' harboring an English' officer here?" , "Why, of course I am," she answered, laughingly. "This is no .time for joking," said the captain. "If he is not here, he cannot have been gone a very long time; and if you delay me he may yet get within the gates of Charleston." "It seems to me that ybu are a trifle difficult to-day," she replied. "Do you not believe me?" "Of course," he said, biting his lips nervously. "I shall have to search the house," he continued. "0, we are quite used to it," she answered. , He ordered up his men and began a systematic search of the mansion and surrouuding buildings. He himself, however, stood immovably in front of the door that he knew opened into her private apartments, and permitted no one to enter. The search was therefore useless. "Well," said she, teasinglj*, "why do youenbt enter my, own room?" "If he is an officer he should be a gentleman, and could not be there," answered thc captain. "You have been fooling rqe, Phoebe, in order to give him a start. I do not-blame you. He was a guest, and you have but observed the laws of hospitality, even though he irf an enemy to our country. Farewell�� remember ahvays I shall come to you when this war is finished." "Why not' come before��to-night? Y'du will not wish to camp nearer Charleston than this, I am sure. Grandmother, who is in town to-day, shopping, will be back by tea time, and yon can tell us all the news." , "And may I tell you something else?'* "Yes��without even Waiting for the Wnf to end, Aud 1 will tell you something, too.'1 Thc young patriot turned about for a moment��and for a kiss. Then springing into thesaddlohefihouti c4 the command! "To horse, the road to Charleston��gallop!1' and wau off. As soon as he and his men were well out of sight, the English artillerj* captain made his appearance. "I suppose," he saidj "that I am under obligations to you��and j*et I thought your truthfulness would have been the ruination of me." "And could you have admired or loved a woman who had deliberately Jied?" "Well, that is rather an odd question. If you had told an untruth it would have been in a noble cause. _ .All is fair in love and war; ybu know." "Even hiding in a woman's apart*- ment." '. . ��'Oh* yes��when necessity compels it.'' . "Well; Capt; Webb';" said Miss Poin-;' clexter; sioiviy; "will y6ii in your turn tid me a favof?" I'm blest if 1 don't believe she'd make a wife that any man eordd be proud of." ��X. Y. Truth.
