From one end of tbe Poiuinion of Canada to tbe other the whole liquor license business ia completely muddled. After wuiting long the federal government have manifested au intention to put the Dominion license act in force. Thoy have appointed commissioners in tho various provinces, and those commissioners have oponcd offices and surrounded themselves with the necessary authority. But while tho doubts exist as to tho constitutionality of tlie Dominion act there does not sewn to be any hope tliat it will be accepted. In Ontario and Quebec nt least the liquor dealers generally are taking out licenses from the provincial authorities, leaving llio Dominion officers sitting solitary in their offices to draw salaries for nothing. At Toronto a city by-law was passed that no licenses hIiouM be granted to shops where groceries or other goods were sold. The licensed grocers forthwith applied to the Dominion commission- era nnd were promised Dominion licenses! Tho Ontario commissioners report that the number of applications before them this year is about the UBiial average. But tho federal commissioners are also granting sottte licenses, and the result is tliat there are two distinct license systems in operation. The Ontario government have introduced a bill providing that persons taking out licenses from the Dominion commissioners must pay n double li- ctiiise fee! In this way it is believed tbe.se applications will be exceedingly limited. But tho spectacle is not one upon which we cun look with indifference or approval. This conflict of authority is undoubtedly the result of a reckless threat by a reckless politician for purely political ends. Tlie Dominion uct was promised and passed for the express purpose of embarrassing the Ontario government because that government happened to be politically opposed to the preseut government at Ottawa. It may be that the Dominion act ia constitutional. Sir John Macdonald is certainly an able constitutional lawyer, and is not often caught, lint surely in the present instance it would have been in the interest of the country to ascertain definitely tbe constitutional point before putting the act in force and throwing the whole license business into confusion. Our Mines. The tenth annual report of the minister of mines has just been issued. It contains a good deal of information respecting mining operations in this province, and brings to light some facts whicli deserve serious public attention. The value of gold taken out of our mines during the year is stated to be 8794,252, the smallest quantity reported since 1858. But notwithstanding the small ness of the yield, there were 1965 people engaged in gold mining, an increase of 227 over the previous year. This increase in the number of miners, we are told, is entirely composed of Chinese. There is nothing more certain than tbat our gold mines, us well as many of our other industries, are rapidly passing into the hands of these people. Of the 1965 persons engaged in gold mining last year 1465 were Chinese, and only 500 white men! These figures are really startling. Tn certain sections the mines seem to have been completely turned over to the celestials. Lower Antler Creek, for example, has not a solitary white man, whereas it supports 98 Chinese who last year took out 842,300. On the Fraser river, from a point 6 miles below Quesnelle to a point 30 miles up, there are 4 white miners and 79 Chinese, and the value of gold taken out is $44,- 640. In the Lillooet district, from Foster's Bar to the mouth of the Chilcoatin, there aro 14 whites and 312 Chinese, nnd they took out S&G8.CO0 worth of gold. These Chinese miners, it is well known, procure their supplies from Chinese merchants, and they leave very Ht tie in the country beyond the paltry mining license fee lhey ure obliged to pay. The gold of the country goes to Chhm, and there is nothing left here to show for it. During the season several prospecting parties wont jut in search of new mines, aided by the appropriation made by the government for that purpose. Nothing of muoh value was discov ered, however, although some places gave indications which the prospectors think may develop rich. Mr, Schuyler, secretary of lhe Dominion Quartz Mining Co., paid a visit to the company's quartz ledge on Cariboo Mountain, and speaks hopefully of the mine. Ho says: "Speaking from nn experience of about 13 years in the mines of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Utah, I feel confident of its ultimate richness, and of its being a tine fissure vein, and that when properly developed it will produce more gold annually than was ever produced in Cariboo'B palmiest days." Wo hope tho sec retary's sanguine expectations may be speedily realized. The report on coal mining shows that 213,299 tons have been taken out dining tlie year. The number of men employed in the coul mines averaged 1031, of whom 405 were Chiuose. The value of mining plant is $410,000. The coal industry is one of the largest and most hopeful in British Columbia. Our coul measures tire pinc- ticully inexhaustible, and tho sphere of operations is being steadily ox- tended, ,, Dangerous Ground. The Whatcom IteveUh returns to the Sumas tragedy in nn editorial the spirit of which we cannot commend. It distinctly justifies the lynching of Loui Sam, and backs up those who took part in that unlawful and very questionable outrage. The Reveille does not for a moment permit itself to indulge a doubt that Bell was muidercd by Sam. Perhaps it knows, but the -evidence so fur us ib has been made public seems to us very far from being conclusive, Sam may have been guilty or ho may not; and when a man suspected of guilt falls into the hands of an excited and reckless mob, the chalices are that he will not receive an impartial trial. We do not doubt that the mob believed him guilty; bnt mobs are very often mistaken, and it is quite possible in this instance they may have hanged the wrong person. The story told by the Indians ub Chilliwhack, published in the last issue of The Coi.t'M- DIAN, muy or may not bo true. It is an improbable story, und we are inclined to doubt it. But the theory advanced by the Reveille (wliich we suppose is thu theory of the lynchers) is by uo means conclusive. If Sam shot Bell for the purpose of robbery, surely one would naturally expect to find about him some considerable plunder. So far as we have been able to learn tbu only suspicious articles found on him wero a pocket knife and a pair of suspenders. These are said to have been similar to goods which Bell was known to hnvo in his store; but thero is no proof that they ever were in that stote, or that Sum did not come into possession of them honestly. If he committed the deed for plunder, where is the plunder? It will not do to say that he hid it somewhere through fear of detection. If ho had caution enough to do tliis, the probability is lie would have been cunning enough not to carry about with him tbo two articles mentioned. Bub if Sum ■» was guilty of the murder of Bell, that fact docs not justify the uot of the lynchers, By their act they made themselves niurdereis in the eyes both of American and Canadian law. There is nothing that should bo more carefully guarded by law and public sentiment than life and property. The laws of all civilized nations regard murder ns ono of the highest offences, and they provide the greatest safeguards against the shedding of innocent blood. But tbe trial of Loui Sum was nob surrounded by any of these safeguards which are considered necessary in a court of justice. Apparently ho hud no defence whntSver, and if there was a prima fucie'ease against him it might have been completely broken down by thn production of evidence on the other side. Tbe danger of hasty trial*, where formalities are wanting, is-that judgment sometimes overtakes the innocent, This is a fatal objection to the system of lynch law which the lieveille deliberately commends. In the instance tinder consideration the victim happened to be an Indian, and one whose reputation was generally bad. But lynchers do not discriminate, and the next person who fulls into their cruel hands may happen to be a white man, and perhaps an American citizen. No man's life is safo under lynch law, for it is very easy to have the finger of suspicion pointed nt the most innocent and harmless. For tliis reason we cannot commend the net of those who took the life of Loui Sam. They undertook to atone for one murder by committing another. They engaged in a practice full of danger and utterly repugnant to humanity. The spread-eagleism of the Feveille is entirely out of place and unworthy uf a public journal which professes to have At heart the interest of tbe community. It is calculated. to breed national animosity among tho people who reside upon the north and south sides of the boundary, a feeling which, we are glad to know, hus hitherto been almost unknown.

He was loutl in saying that lie had no accomplice, but at the same time added that it remained fur the company to prove that ho bad stolen tho money. "'The Steam Ferry.—After years of agitation and waiting the steam ferry across the Fraser at this eity is at last an accomplished fact. Capt Grant began making regular trips un Monday, and it is admitted everywhere tbat the ferry ia a decided accommodation. The machinery works satisfactorily, but will require use before it becomes perfectly smooth. Quite a number of passengers wero ferried over on Monday, and yesterday morning 3 horses ntid n wagon were taken across. We believe tho summer arrangements nre that the ferry shall run from li a.m. to 8 p.m. The ferry is supposed tn make a round trip at least once every two hours, We hope the undertaking will be completely satisfactory both to the public nnd Capt. Grant, who holds the charter. It may not be out uf place to observe here that the steam ferry is one of the things to which the senior member fur this district promised his support, and, consequently, Ihe Guardian pronounced it a wild scheme which novel' oould be carried uut. Important from Ottawa, — Tho Colonist of Friday says: Premier Smitho telegraphed from Ottawa yesterday that the Dominion government will provide a salary for a stipendiary magistrate at Metlakahtla, am) that tho oastern boundary question (which was brought to the notico of the-Oitn- wa government by Mr, Smithe) is deemed of such moment that it will he referred tu the Imperial government for adjustment; meanwhile a provisional boundary lino will be established. Memouhj and Rimk. A most do- lighful mingling of sketches nf travel, stories, and poems by Joaquin Miller. In "Notes from an Old Journal" there are given delicious bits uf experience in New York City, in tho Franco- Prussian w;ar, at a tea-party given by the English, poet, Rossetli, etc. The stories ond sketches nre of Western life, told with the humor aud pathos fur whicli the author hns long been noted. The "Rhymes for Iho Right" are in Mr. Miller's most fervent and rigorous vein. "In Momoriam" gives somo recollections uf men nud events which occupy a prominent place in history. Thu volume docs nut contain n page, but is brimful of interest. California, Colorado, mul. ^spuuinllv Oregon, aro drawn upon for a fqtid'of interesting anecdote nnd reminiscence. The author writes of n life he knows thoroughly, and with the pen of genius. Fur aale by T. R. Pearson & Ou, Mai'lk Ridge License.- On Saturday Messrs. Harris and Molimi, J.Pa., met ut Maple Ridge ns a license court. Tho reovo of the municipality,' Mr, Dawson, was not present, however, and the court could nut lie formed. An application was received from Mr. Stevenson for a license at Port Hammond, and from Mr. McKciiuy for a license at Maplo Ridgo. Of course no action was taken on these applications. It is stated that Mr. Dawson expected to lease the bar of the Port Hammond hotel, ond becuuse Mr. Stevenson would nut make, an arrangement witli him he purposely remnined away from the court su thnt no license conhl issue. Mr. Dawson was in this city on Friday and stated that unless he got the placo Mr. Stevenson could not get thn license! This fact gives an uir of probability to the report that he purposely absented himself frum the court when lie failed to get control of Ilie bar. Wo are of opinion that Port Hammond will he a great deal better off without any license, but the conduct of Mr. Dawson is none tho less reprehensible It was not, apparently, tliu interest of tho community which concerned him, but his own personal interest, nud Iub action is unworthy tho reeve of n mu nicipality, The Launch.—Shortly after 8 o'clock on Saturday morning the new tug for the Royal City Planing Mills wns successfully launched in the presence of o number of spot-tutors. As soon as the blocks were knocked out the vessel began to move slowly, the speed increasing until she slid gracefully into the water, Mrs. Jno. Hendry, wife of the manager of the R. C. P.M. Co., christened her, with tho customary bottlo nf wine, tho "Hell--." After reaching the water it was fuur.d necessary to pull her a considerable distance through a narrow channel. This was done by means of tho capstan, assisted by the tugs Lottie and Lily, and in less thnn nn hour the Belle floated upon the bosom ot tha Fraser. Sho now lies at the R. C. P. M. wharf whero she ib receiving the balance of her machinery, and it is expeoted she will be ready Fur seo about the first of April. The Belle Is 80 feet lung, 15 feet beam, and ahout 7 feot hold. She will havu n pair of engines 10x10, and an outside condenser. The vessel iyas built by Mr. Mnlotiey, and presents a very graceful appearance. + License Court.—There woro two applications for new licenses beforo the licenso court Inst Saturday—une from Mr, Eickhoff, of Front st., and one frum Mr. Ibbotson, of Columbia Bt. Mr. Ibbotson backed up his application with o petition signed by 104 citizens. This petition contained the names of o number uf prominent gen tleinau, very much tu tho surprise of a majority ot the court. It was determined, howover, that uu new licenses should bo granted, and both applications were refused. Wis beliove the action of the court will bo sustained by public opinion. There aro undoubtedly tun many places iu the city already where liquor is sold. Thero ia no uther province in the Dominion where so many licenses have been granted in proportion to tho population. The tendency of legislation for many years past has been to reduce the number of licenses, nnd it is generally expeoted that at the next session of our legislature the license act wilt he amended in this direction. It would be o mistake to increase tho numbor of licenses now in view of the fact that they uro utmost cortaiu tu be reduced by legislative action. It would be creating a vested interest which cuuld not expect tu be perpetuated. We suppose it mny now bo taken for granted that no more liquor licenses will be granted fur tbis city, and those who contemplate going into thnt business may as well make a notu of tho fact. On motion of Cann. Curtis, -seconded by Couu. Johnston, the tender of John Devoy, at 845 per month, was accepted. Bills'ordered paid — Guardian, 910; Wm. Rao, 810. A lengthy argument then ensued regarding police court lines, and the convenience of having the police magistrate also a J. P.

Paris, March 10. — An advanced Irish Nationalist lias declared that the Nationalists are annoyed but in no way discouraged by tho failure of the dynamite attempts, Ho predicted a lung series uf explosions in England in the immediate future.

London, March 17, (evening.)—The air is full of rumors of dissension in the cabinet, the resignation uf Gladstone, and the dissolution of parliament. It is said that Gladstone is suffering from catarrhal fever and is too hoarse to speak.

One church boa* used', We. following recipe for twenty-five years for preparing communion wine: 'Express the juice of tho grapes, as yon do for jelly; heat immediately to the boiling point, bottle and seal exactly as you do fruit. Adapt the size of bottles to the number of communicants, us the wine will ferment if left over from one communion to another.' It ia suggested that the pastor of each church appoint some lady in his society, who shall liavo special charge of the communion wine, preparing it herself if necessary. Dear friends, if you will conscientiously follow the directions here given, we shall find that our churches will bo purified, and Mint no holy sanction will be given by tliein for the" use of fermented wine. MRS- O. S. Hunt, NationulSupt. Dept. Unfennented Wine. The following has been published by the request of the Montreal W. C. T. U.: "It is u well known fact that when fermented, wiuc is used for sacramental purposes, tile reformed drunkard cannot put the sacred cup to his lips without incurring the danger of a relapse into former habit, 'One of the members of our church told mo thut before we gave up using intoxicating wine, it was with the greatest difficulty thnt he was able to resist taking more after the taste was excited,' writes a deacon in a western church, and tins mini's experience is thut of many. For this reason, if for no other, churches should be careful to use unfer- meiited wine, und they would no doubt be glad to do so, if they knew how to obtain that article. Miss Willard in her book entitled -Woman und Temperance' tells how the problem wns solved iu a church in an American city. The Indy who served it says, 'Somo time ago, our church decided not to use fermented wine, but somehow n Sort of logwood decoction got into the chalices, whioh was entirely out of place and harmful to our cause. Some of the deacons said:'We cannot have such a mixture as this—it will not answer.'and they were right, The matter troubled me. At last I said to my husband, 'I can't go out much to tlie temperance meetings or take an active part in the Woman's Union, but I can prepare wino enough for our chinch of eight hundred members for all the communions of this year, and I'll do so.' It was no easy undertaking'. It kopt ine in my kitchen wide awake and on the alert for several days, but I've got the wine all bottled up, and the people are well pleased with it.' 'Let somo lady in each church,' says Miss Willard, 'go and do likewise, nnd she will have helped our many-sided cause in a noble efficient way.' This lady's receipe is ns follows; Tako twenty pounds Concord grapes and adil two quarts of water. After finishing the grapes put them lulo a porcelain kettle. When nt n boiling heat the Juices separate from the pulp and skins. Then strain through a tin sieve or colander, using o little more water. Add six pounds of granulated sugar. After the sugar Is all dissolved, strain through u thick olotli. Then heat, and pour Immediately Into stone hollies aud seal'tlghtly while hot. The above will make throe gallons untf, If properly put. up, will keep any length of time, tint all uir must be kept from it till wanted for use.

"Is it right to sanction the use of fermented wine nt the Lord's table? Brought up as we all have beeu, to feel thut we enter the Holy of Holies when we receive the 'Sacrament,' is it to be wondered at that to many it seems like a sacrilege to suggest any change in the emblems of Christ's body and blood. By a careful study of the New Testament, we iind that the word 'wino' Ib uot used iu connection with thu Lord's Supper. Nine times it is simply called 'thu cup,' nnd our Saviour's owu descriptive term is 'the fruit of the vine'—Mutt. 26s2fl- Mark U:25j Luke 22:18. By 'the fruit of the vine' is it conclusive that Christ meant wine, with the modern definition of the term ? As au answer to this question, we learu that tho Lord's Supper was instituted nt the Passover Feast, from which every species of leaven and ferment was excluded cu pain of death to tlir partaker. Read carefully Exodus I2:l5-20i Lev. 2i|lj 10:12; Amos 4:5; also Kxodus ;tl:25, which says: 'Tinni shalt not oiler the blood of my sacrifice with leaven,' etc, Whenever the Passover i;- ci-'ebintcd by the Jews of to day. it is cotobl-ajted with unleavened bread, Ulld Ulifenneiited wine. Tliis fact U EUstuiliei. by the highest Jewish authority. Testimony on this Sunt is contniuud iu thu 'J'empomuco oniinentnry. Since it would have been so easy to procure the pure juice of the grujie ("ihe fruit of the vino), and since the Jewish laws f >i bide tlie use of anything fer- im-iiti-J, blnco Chrint distinctly Bailed that he I'-iiuc not to destroy but to fulfil, ilue-i it nut seem umiatiirul to coin-Liide that iu ih-liuiiie of Jcwisli auth-n-ity uud custom1 OliriBt should Imve used ut his las! supper the fermented wine '; The personal experience of many a tciMperaneo worker will testify thot reformed men who have come to the communion table for the unieli needed Strength to battle with the old app.tite for alcohol, have had the appetite revived beyond control by the taste of tlie wine ofi'ered them as an oinblom of Christ's redeeming blood; ollercd iu re- iiienibrahCo of Him who went about doing good; in remembrance of Hiin whose uwn model for our prayer was, 'Lead ns not into temptation.' Iu remembrance of Hiin who said: 'But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in it were better for liim that a mill stone were hanged about his neck nml that ho wore drowned in the depth of the a.' l.i it not more of a saerilcgc for Christians in the name of and for tile sake of Christ to tempt men and women to tlieir deadly petit than for each one to intelligently ask herself if fermented wine can tie thus used, iu the spirit of the Master; Since 'fruit uf the vine' may be had nu- liiiimlicil and unforuientcd, docs not christian charity demand its use in our elm relies? As temperance women wo ure striving to so educate our children that thoy shall havo an ahhoi-unee of alcoholic beverages. If we make no protest against its use nt the communion table, do we not give to it a sanctity which will break down all of our foitner arguments against it, ns nu evil thing ? Is it right for us thus to familiarize our children with the taste and smell of wine, and thus give to it a title to reverence and respect ? A Montreal lady has, fur a number of years, prepared all the wine used in tho church to which sho belongs from u very similar recipe, at the small cost of twenty-five cents a bottle. Her plan is ns follows; Tako twenty-five pounds of grapes and a pound of sugar mixed with oqunrt'of water, bring to tho boil ami when cool squeeze through a Jelly ba«. Mix tiie Juice with four pounds of sugar, boll fifteen minutes,ski 111 and hotlle while hot In bottles tnkon out of boiling water. Sen] with beeswax und resin. Thia makes n vory excellent article. Another well recommended receipe is as follows: Take ono gallon of grapei, wash thom woll, odd half a gallon of water and let it. stnnd In an eurllieu Jar for three dim. Then run oft" tlie lii-nld whicli is at tin- bottom, being careful to disturb us tittle an poKHllde the skins and seeds tbat Imve risen to the surface. Adda pound of sugor to oneli quart of grape Juice, bring t»Jhe boll, and while nt (lint temperature ean In self-sealing jars or scaled bottles, These directions are published iu the hope that temperance ladies throughout the country wilt tike tho matter up and see that the churches are provided with a pure wine for tho communion table. Iu regions where grapes aro not to be had, arrangements might be made with a Woman's Christian Temperance Union in somo other place to provide the uoccb- Bnry ipiantitv nt a reasonable price." YV. C.

Relight,.die upd nre buried, during the descent of the snow- flakes frum the world of clouds to the solid lr.nd. I do not know whether t» beliovo tho scholars or not. They are of that same sohool which tells you that every square foot of air possesses some 12,000,000 or lo.OOO.OOO of more or less perfect littlo beings, und that at overy ordinary breath we destroy a million more ur less of these happy lives. The sigh of u healthy lover is supposed to swallow up about 15,000,- 000. They insist that the dust which will, ob all know, accumulate in the most secure and secret places, is merely tho remains of millions and billions of theso little beings who have died of old age, All this, of course, is mere speculation. But I do know that the snow is, in some parts of the world, thickly inhabited. T have seen snow- in Idaho black with little insects, They call them snow-fleas. They are lively as possible, and will darken your footprints, walk as fust ub you may. They are found only on tho high mountains, and only in very fresh and very deep snuw. They, of course, do not annoy you in any way. They are infinitely smaller than the ordinary flea, but exactly the same in locomotion. —Joaquin Miller.

"Tho proprieties, I detest them—go --thoy nre too absurd," said Eleanor, fvcnking in a quick, bright voice, in which was tho musical ring of tho foreigner} "who regards tho inconvenient decorum of thoso cold English people, with their wind that whistles so chilly in the fairest summer's day, and their sarcasms so polished, and bo nipping? Here there is nothing warm, strong, brilliant, as iu our sunny BOUth." "Are you pining already to return to Italy]" osked Dudley, with grave kindness, "Your Bister wearies of your wandering passage life, and is rejoicing in her quiet home. Truo, our skies are not bo blue, but wo have sunny nooks of landscape beauty to attract au artist's eye." Eleanor dropped her flowers, and looked up into hia faco with eager interest. "Yuu are right thero; yn-i have spoken tho truth. Every morning hove 1 waded through tho dew, up and down the meadows, aiul through the leafy lanes, to find a subject for my pencil, and have had to choose among 0 hundred; but to-day I hove fixed my mind, and have found one, quaint, homely, English, what you call—rav- isante—seen through a break in the hedge, nt the bottom of the homo fields." "And what was that, Lonore? describe it to us, if you will; thoujjh, if 1 may hazard a guess, it is only that old brown cottage standing by the roadside. *' "Old — brown — yes, you lmvo it there; but then, what surroundings! A background of wood, still, green, velvety; a patch of sunny mod; a Roman horse-trough, such aa those of Etruiia might have used; an oak tree, casting dusky shadows; a cool, deep pond, with a broken fence, and a willow trailing at its edge—what would you more?" And Eleanor, subsiding into silence, pulled the crimson petals of a brilliant exotic to pieces. "Your whole soul seems in yeur art," observed Dudley, while Miss Vivian and I exchanged smiles. "My soul?" said Eleanor, with a strange bright smile that seemed to light up her face with o sunbeam, and then flicker and die rapidly out. "You an Englishman, and talk of mysoull Do the men here think they have any? do they think of more than their money-getting, and their great hungry selves? But you are different, you do not seem to be a stranger to the sympathies—say, do you core for theiie things?" "Very much," ho answered, heartily; "so much so, that ono day whon ynu know me better, and consider me entitled to such honor, you must por uiit me to seo your studio." "Permit you! you shall see it at once—comer and springing from the "round, which wus strewn in a moment with her flowers, she beckoned to him as frankly as if she had known him for a life-time. "One moment, Eleanor," remonstrated her sister; "you must invite my friend, Miss Mortimer, tool" "Consider it done," she returned, tapping a little scarlet slipper impatiently upon the floor; "why so ceremonious, Marion? and for you"—looking ut Dudley, "you shall tell me what picture you like, and the one you choose shall bo your own—your very own--to remind you of your first visit lu the Priory." "Indeed," replied Dudley, turning red, "I cannot permit you to suffer by such impulsive generosity; at nny future time I shall be proud indeed to accept the slightest sketch from your hands, but " ilBut iB a word I approve of in no language; and unless you accept my favors, you shall not cross the threshold of my studio—hold, I am serious, there "nnd Eleanor wrinkled her low white brow till her hair rippled over her eyes. "I paint only for caprice, and I love to part with my pictures to my friends." "Then let it be so, out of gratitude for the implied compliment of being ranked among the number of your friends," returned Dudley, half-fascinated and half-repelled by the new aspect of warm southern nature presented to his view; "aud if my choice light on the beat nnd favorite, the fault must Ue with yourself." "II—I have no favorites; but come, .you are wasting time and my patience!" and so saying, Bhe turned, and leading the way across the hall, flitted up tho broad oaken staircase before us, I say "flitted" for no word in our language could describe Eloanor'amove- muiita—so sudden, erratic, abrupt, and yet bo graceful. One could not say of her as of others that she walked, glided, sailed, or even swam; but in a way, she combined all She moved with the springy step of a fawn, and the erect head of a queen; impulse nnd dignity blended together in her gait. At tho lnuding-place she paused, nud beckoning again with her hand, usher- ad un into n noble-looking room—n room that reflected its owner iu every corner of it, The wills, as well as tho coverings of tho various lounges, ottomans, and sofas, were of a delicate sea green, that faint, fair color that reminds one of cool summer seas, or tho tender tints of the spring; but the hangings that shaded tho windows were of rose-colored silk, and tho floor was covered with velvet-pile, into which one sank as into the moss at the foot of some gnarled oak. A balcony had buen thrown out, which wiih furnished in the Italian style, with tubs of aloes, and stone vases full of flowering shrubs; part of it was protected by an awning, and spread with a curiously-patterned Indian matting. Here thero were seats placed, with guitar and book, and mantilla thrown carelessly down, as if the morning had been spent there; and everywhere, piled on tables, islands, easel, nnd even chairs, were Eleanor's pictures—some mere sketches, somo half-finished, as if she hnd wearied of them, ond flung them aside—very few of them really completed ond ready for the wall. That they wore pointed by the hand of nn artist was undoubted, though it wu a crude and girlish one, as her sister had said. They wore all fresh, fervid in color, bold and masterly in style, and bearing the stamp of-genius; but none the less did they all have the same fault—want of finish, the marks of a restless, capricious fancy, Boon wearying of Its subject, nnd turning to another; and yet, even in their incompleteness, charming more than another's perfected production; evon as originality and genius always will attract more than laborious perseverance without it. They were so varied, too. Here a Roman drinking fountain, with a water-carrier asleep; an archway, with Florentine girls selling grapes; o stone croaa, broken and moss-grown, with a brown baby at the foot, with bare dimpled limbs, watched over by a sheep-dog; a bird's neat full of speckled eggB. Then a sea-view—white cliffs, tiny wavelets lapping on the yellow sands, dark ridges of sea-weed, a distant sparkle of foam, a silver sail gleaming in the sunlight. Now, tho satuu sou repeated under the horror of a tempest — white-decked breakers, sullen as death; an inky sky lowering its crest; a broken mast, with a dead hand clinging to it. Then a forest dell; patches of yellow moss trailing shadows, rank luxuriance of foliage, full-leaved parasites, a blue sky, the stillness uf approaching evening; and over each wo lingered till wo were weary of reiterating the same praise. But at last came a silence, a pause, and thou Dudloy said— "Here is one, Miss Vivian, that I admire more than all." It wiib small, simple in subject, but with more lavish work expended on it than on any uf the others; it wns us if the artist had loved it herself, and had not cured to hurry it. An English pastoral. "A few poor sheep," aa Eleanor laughingly said, "und nothing more." And Bhe was right. Stray sheep that wandered into a fluid through u bronk in tho hedge, by which lay a Bleeping shepherd, with tho rejit of the flock looking wistfully after their companions, but not daring, like them, to pass their "Cerberus," who, curled up on his master's coat, .was fust asleep too. The beauty, however, lay not in subject, but in tho coloring; the full, deep tints of evening; the sun flushing the clover; tho bank of rosy clouds to westward; tho church spire peeping through the trees; the harmony of tho whole; and we both agreed with Dudley in thinking it tho moBt beautiful of all "Well, tt is yours," snid Eleanor carelessly. "Uuido shall bring it you this evening, and I will come over tomorrow ana show you in what light to hang it, and see your great ugly Sunnyside at the some time.' "Lenore!" said her sister, gravely, while Dudley, checked in his intended thanks, stood and stared as if ho had not huard aright. "Why! what have I done! What are you looking at?" returned Eleanor, with a littlo wilful laugh. "I thought you woro a nation of truth-tollers! Is not your house ugly; and why must I give tho polite lie?" "If you cannot praise, nt least be Silent; courtesy forbids blame," replied Morion; "and what fault can J you possibly find in Mr. Mortimer's home/ It looks to me tho very ideal of domestic comfort." "Because you hnve no perception of the beautiful; you have grent, silly, English ideas. Look here," pointing to where, across the low meadow, stood Sunnyside, gloaming white through the garden-trees, "who, that bus eyes, can call that huge barn pretty, with ita unsightly stacks uf chimneys and groat Blaring windows? Why do not you, who have Bense," turning to Dudley, "cover and hide it with ivy, with luxuriant creepers —• Virginian, that turns rod in autumn, and wistaria, with clusters of flowering grapes? Where is your taste and discernment? Do you lovo barns?" "I love Sunnyside," replied Dudloy, stoutly, "und I hate ivy, und toro it all down lust spring because it was ruining the wall, and filled our bedrooms with earwigs and such-like noxious insectsV but I agree with you, Miss Vivian, that the Priory is more to my tnsto—indeed it is my notion of nn earthly Paradise; and if I see much moro of it I shall be fearful of breaking the tenth commandment." "Then como every day, if you liko; wo hove no friends here, Marion and I, and you please me, and your sister too—only she is bo quiet, keeps iu a corner, and nibbles her thoughts like a littlo white mouse; nnd 1 cannot come to you; I do not love bnniB." "Oh, Eleanor, how con you be so rude? Mr. Mortimer, pray excuse her; you seo what a child Bhe is—ao careless of her words." "I see," returned Dudley, with a grave kind smile at Marion's perturbed face, ''but your siator's outspoken frankness needs uo apology. Both Nellie and I understood it in a moment—still, Miss Eleanor, wo hnve English notions of prido, and never visit those who will not return it; and so, if you disduiu the barn, this will be the last, as well as the first, visit to tho Priory." "Nonsense," replied Eleanor, impatiently, and coloring high. "Wo are going to be friends, I tell you; and now come and seo our garden—it is prettier than yours, though I have never seen it: Marion nnd 1 planned it at Vienna, and Dominique carried it out. And hefore we could answer she was springing down the staircase again, and was out ou the lawn in a minute, while wo followed her more leisurely. Dudley lingered behind with Marion, while 1 walked nn ostensibly with Eleanor, though sho was never still for a second, or uttered two consecutive words;—now sho was skimming over the grass in search of gay-colored moths; now flitting from flower to flower, like a humming-bird; now untangled in a ruse-thicket, in search of a thorn-garnished Imd, that scratched her whito hand in the gathering; now calling to Dudley mid interrupting his quiet talk with her sister, to look at somo view, or some picturesque embankment of clouds, and doing everything in a perfectly perplexing nnd wholly fascinating way. Presently wo heard tho cooing of doves, and came in Bight of their lattice-work prison, and in a moment Eleanor was in the midst of them, fondling them iu her bosom, stroking their sleek bird-heads, as they perched on her shoulder, cooing in tier ear, and fluttering delightedly around her, till she at last came out with one resting ono her bare white arm. "You seem fond of them?" I snid, smiling, as sho nestled the pretty creature oguinat hor cheek. "Very. I havo many pots—wait, you shall Bee," aud taking up a little whistle that was suspended to her girdle, sho Bounded it three times, loudly. Presently came o joyous barking, and a beautiful Italian boy, dressed in a rich but strange costume, came running up tlie lawn, with two white Persian kittens under his arm, ana followed by threo small Italian greyhounds, and a King Charles spaniel, that swept the grass with its long ears.
