Iht §ritish Columbian. itarday Morning, Sept. is, 1883. The Last Spike Driven. OPENING OF THE NORTHERN PAOIFIO. (Special to tho Oregon Inn.) Between Garrison and Gold Greek, Northern Pacific Railway, Sept. 8.—It is eight miles from Helena to tho point where the steep grade of the Rocky mountains begins, and twelvo from there to tho mouth of . Coulter tunnel. As the tunnel is not, completed, Mullan pass is crossed by running on curves a distance of about four miles. The grade is tlio sumo as nt Bozeman. Tho sections wero safely lifted over the heights, and the descent made to this point, whero tho ceremony of driving the lost spike has just been concluded, The contrast between the rugged heights of tho east side and the long, meadow-like slopes of tho west side is very striking. Tho distance from this point to Helena is fifty-five miles. In making the descent of the Mullan pass, the car of the British minister became disabled, and the occupants had to . bo transferred to another car. Nobody was hurt or inconvenienced. Tlie train arrived at tliis point a little behind time, but in good shape. ARRIVAL OF TUB PORTLAND TRAIN, From Portland there came somewhat earlier a splendid train, bearing the prominent citizen*! of that section to participate in .the ceremonies. Thoro were hearty greetings between tho American guests of tho east and the west, and tho occasion was regarded as a remarkable one, aud as presaging a prosperous future. All were surprised at what thuy beheld. Instead of tho wilderness of the Rocky mountains, they here beheld a mtig- niticont pavilion, capable of seating more than 1000, over which floated the national colors of tho American, German and British nations. In' front, -reaching to the rood bed, was an extensive promenade, skirted by a platform, with comfortable seats. To the right wob a band stand. On it were seated tho Fifth United States Infantry band, and who were all tho way from Fort Keogh. But evon stronger than this evidence of civilization wero the scores of vehicles and the hundreds of hardy mountaineers, gathered to welcome Henry Villard. THE CEREMONIES OPENED. As soon as tho last of tho guests arrived the ceremonies woro opened by President Villard, who divided the attention of the enthusiastic multitude with General Grant, seated on the /platform. Mr. Villard, after a word of preface, delivered his address, which was concluded amid tremendous applause. Ho then introduced the orator of the occasion, Hon. Wm. M. Evarts. The orator was very heartily applauded. SIR JAMES HANNEN. Sir James Hanuen said the English visitors were filled with wonde.-and admiration by tho sights of this magnificent country and its insUlulions. Henry Villard was a porson about whom their warmest sympathies and gratitude would well cluster. "We nave the happiness of seeing whae manner of man he iB. Wo havo been able to see in him the qualities which he has evinced throughout his lifo, and we now shall carry bock tho recollection of having known the real man. It was a happy thought that the representatives of tho countries that have contributed population to the American nation should be present on this most extraordinary occasion. It tills me witli wonder and awe to Bee the prosperity whioh has advanced with . sueh rapid strides, and which has at onco reached tho highest development of civilization. Tfil GERMAN QUESTS. The German minister, Von Ezen- decker, was then presented, aud expressed the hearty good wishes of his fellow-countrymen for tliis enterprise "We are sorry to have lost Villard, but as he haa come to a country which has always been closely allied to my own here he may remain." Dr. Kueiss, of tho Berlin university, was then introduced and spoke at length in behalf of,the German visitors, and ex- ?raised tbe hope that the Northern 'acifio would ba the new highway and the main line of all northern colonisation of America and Europe. "May It be forever a monument in honor of that noble son of Germany. Henry Villard, you may be sure our mother country is proud of suoh a sun." Dr; Hoffman, the greatest mioroscopist of the day, said the. construction of the Northern Pacific railroad was a modern miracle, and, unlike miracles, was performed in compliance with the laws of nature and uot against them. GENERAL GRANT. There were loud cries for General Grant and as the general came forward the air was rent with cheers. Ho made a few remarks perfectly suited to the occasion and characteristic He said he wm reminded by the speeches to which he had listened of the fact that he had something to do with tho great Northern Pacific enterprise. When Governor Stevens, thirty years ago, organized his surveying expedition, he was a lieutenant, acting as quartermaster and commissary on tho Columbia, and he issued the supplies for tho expedition, Was he not then entitled to have the credit which Mr. Billings aad apportioned out to others ? It was true that while Mr. Billings contributed of his own money ho paid out Undo Sam's also. The British VOLUME U NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., SAfETRDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1883. NUMBER i THE LAST SPIKE DRIVEN HOME. The foreign guests were then given seats on the platform by the railroad, and a photograph vas taken of them, Mr. Villard and family, and the most distinguished Americans. After that a horse, that had helped to build the road from its inception, was brought upon the platform. Then there waB witnessed a most extraordinary spectacle: Three hundred men, with brawny arms, quickly laid the iron and drove the spikes ou the uncompleted track, except the last spike. During the progress of the work, which was witnessed by the foreigners with amazement, the band played and the people shouted. When nearly completed a cannon Ba* luto was fired by tho detachment of the Fifth Infantry present. The last spike was finally driven homo by H.C. Davis, assistant. general passenger agont of the road, who drove the first spike on tho opening of the road, and this spike was the samo one driven by him first. Tiio end was reached'as the sun waa setting behind the mountains, and tlie enthusiasm of tho people- variously estimated at from 3,000 to 6,000—was indescribable. The heights reverberated the mingled sounds of music, booming cannon and shouts of men. Thus was brought to a happy conclusion a very remarkable event in American history. The trains were then formed and tbe guests departed, the English and part of the Americans, including Geo. M. Pullman and Vice- President Harris, to the aast. The rest went to Portland nnd Puget Sound. ——*_t Leading Druggists on this continent testify to tho largo aud constantly increasing sales of Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Curo, and report its beneficent effects upon their customers troubled wi;h Liver Complaint, Constipation, Dyspepsia, Im. purity of tho Blood, and other physical infirmities, and as a female medicine, it lias accomplished remarkable cures.. gaeniific jftimllftnfi. Following the example of Paris, the municipality of Algiers has'eatab- lished a chemical laboratory for the analysis of food substances and the detection of adulteration. The doctors disagree. The. now famous fossil footprints found last year ut Carson, Nevada, and supposed to liavo been made by prehistoric human giants, are regarded by Prof. O. O. Marsh as probable tracks of a large sloth. It is stated, however, thut Dr. Harkness still insists that the impressions were left by a ipeoies of man, and that he finds his theory strengthened by fresh discoveries of tracks evon moro clearly defined than those first uncovered. Mons, Faye has shown tliat tho whirlwinds of dust observed by Pre- jevalsky in Control Asia,'liko those of Mexico, India and the Saraha, have the same origin and mechanical action as the tornadoes of the United States and all waterspouts. They are all alike spiral movements descending with upright axis and always traveling horizontally in a nearly straight line. The genoral belief that the dust on land and the water at sea ascend from the surfuce high into the air iB due Mens. Faye tells us, to an optical illusion. Attention has again been called— this time by Mons. J. Girard—to the supposed changes of level of the earth's surface reported from certain parts of Europe. Villages in the Jura which were hidden from each other no longer than forty years ago havo gradually risen in sight, while in a village of Bohemia the inhabitants now see half of a distant church-spire of whioh only the top was visible thirty years ago. The apparent rising of theso places must, it ib thought,.bo a result of tho warping of the solid crust of the earth. To detect further changes in the Bohemian locality a line of levels has boen run. Previous to 1870, according to a new work by Prof. Wittrook, the so- called "red-snow" was thought to be the only plant growing on ice and snow. Since that time, however, Nordenskjold and Bergeron have discovered several ico and snow algm in Greenland, one' of them, Anctjlonema Nordenskjoldii, boing very abundant. Still later investigation has proven theso plants to be moro numerous yet, Dr. Kjellmau' finding at Spitsbergen not only "red snow," but "green snow" —whioh contained more than a dozen plant forms. The snow flora now includes thirty Bovon species, and the ice flora ton. These plants are almost entirely algio of microscopical size and vory low organization, growing sometimes singly and sometimes in colonies. ■Thoy aro generally of bright colors- red, purplish brown, and green being common. Undor the dark mass of tho plants the ico molts very rapidly, and Nordenskjold even suggests that the very abundant Ancylonema may have greatly hastened the disappearance of the ice deserts which once covered so large a part of Europe and America. W. J. Guppy, druggist, of Newbury, writes!—"Dr. Fowler's Wild Strawberry is just the thing for Summer Sickness. I sold out my stock threo times last sum* mer. There was a good demand for it." Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is infallible for Dysentery, Colic, Sick Stomach and Bowel Complaint, If you are broken down in constitution and wasting away by nickness, dissipation, too great nervous taxation, or suffer fi-oHi any chrome disease, do not abandon hop until you havo tried Burdock Blood Bitters. What it Ib doing daily towards restoring others, lt might do for you. The most miserable mortal In existence is probably tho confirmed dyspeptic Uurdock Blood Bitters curo Dyspepsia and ull diseases of the Stomach, Blood, Liver and Kidneys. Do not trust our word simply, but address the proprietors for proof. Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry will never fail you when token to euro Dysentery, Colic, Sick Stomach, or auy form of Summer Complaint. Relief Ib almost instaneous; a few doses cure -when othor remedies fail. Tho superiority ot Mother Craves' Worm Exterminator is shown by Its good ciTect on tho children. DRS. MGINNES & MATHERS.

Sept. !»■ '«*»• ' I1 r3rgsr3grsgsgg!^gg!a^^a* As the time drawa near, we hope farmers and others will not lose light of the approaching agricultural exhibitions — st Chilliwhnok on the 4th Oct., and in this oity on the. 10th, 11th and 12th. The interest manifested in the provincial exhibition in certain quarters is considerable, and promises well for its success. It is expected there will be a large attendance from Victoria Snd Nanaimo, and the mainland people should take care that they do not neglect the opportunity for showing themsnlves to advantage. Let every one do what he can, and the exhibition will surely be a complete success. A gentleman (formerly a British Columbian) who has for some time been residing in San Francisco, writes to say that the fish hatcheries established on tho Sacramento seem to have been quite successful. Shad, cat-fish, and some other kinds until lately almost unknown in these regions have become quite plentiful of late years in the bay and the sloughs of the Sacramento. Salmon are also plentiful in the river, whereas a few years ago they conld scarcely be found at all. Our correspondent attributes this marked improvement to the hatcheries, and he expresses a hopo thnt the experiment may be tried on tha Fraser. We are of opinion that a hatchery ought to be established here and we hope the appropriation made for that purpose will soon bo expended. The Yale Sentinel is afraid the $340,000 dock money, which is to be spent on the mainland, may all be gobbled up by New Westminster. It thinks a fair share should go towards building roads in tho interior. We think so too, and our cotempo- rary may at once dismiss his fears. It is a notorious fact that tho district of New Westminster has not for fnkny years received government appropriations at all proportionate to her population or to tho amounts expended elsewhere. At the same time we are sure there is no disposition here to ask for moro than our fair share of the dock money. The interior is entitled to its full share, and the Sentinel will find the report that "New Westminster is even more selfish than Victoria" to bo wholly without foundation. New Westminster never had a selfish reputation: Victoria always had, whether she deserves it or not. On the first page of this paper will be found an account of the opening of the Northern Pacific railway to Portland. The event is one in which British Columbia iB much interested. The Northern Pacific terminus is much nearer us than the terminus of the other transcontinental railways, and by so much does it shorten the distance between us and the east. When regular trains begin to run to Tacoma and Seattle, and regular steam service has been established between these places and New Westminster, passengers and mails should go from here to Toronto in 7 days. Until the completion of the Canadian Pacific railway the Northern Paoifio will be tho most important railway for British Columbia. It cannot bo predicted now with muoh exactness where the course of trade will run, but if businiss men are wise they will see that every possiblo encouragement is given to the establishment of a direct trade. Bat Portage still furnishes material for muoh newspaper comment in the east. As a rule Reform papers support the claims of Ontario nnd defend her action, while the Conservative press takes an opposite view. This stems to indicate thtt the boundary matter, like almost every other great publio question in Canada, is to be fought out as a politjsal issue. It is worthy of notioe that the press of Mani- tobn is by no means unanimous in support of the Manitoba government's intervention. Indeed, the more influential newspapers of Winnipeg declare that the disputed territory does not in any case belong to Manitoba, and that the government ought to keep itself clear of the dispute. Manitoba is * peor provinoe, politically. Its revenues ere extremely small, and its trewury ll nearly always empty. Ontario, od the contrary, is the most wealth*' proTinoo in the Diwinion, snd is every year accumulating large surpluases, although she haa no direct tax. As the revenues of Kewatin would not meet tho expense of its government it is manifestly unwise for Manitoba to undertake the responsibility. But if tbe property falls to Ontario, she will get the timber, which is very valuable. If Manitoba takes possession, the timber will fall to the Dominion government. At present there is a double system of government, and tho final result is not easy to predict. At Last. We have much pleasure in announcing that this city is to have a publio pleasure ground. The government have consented to let the chaingang go to work on St George's square as'soon as Market square has been completed. Iu the first place Mary street will be opened out full width ond graded. Then St. George's square is to bo stumped and graded, and wo suppose it will also be fenced. We are sure all oitizens will receive this announcement with great satisfaction, nnd that the generous offer of the government will be duly appreciated. The want of a public pleasure ground in this oity has been seriously felt for over 20 years, and there has been no determination manifested during that lime by the local authorities to supply the want. It will be necessary for the city to finish the work performed by tho chaingang. After having been stumped aud levelled, the square will need to be fenced and ornamented. Shade trees ahould be planted either this fall or next spring. Trees do not grow up in a day, and the square will never bo- come a popular summer resort until it has been provided with foliage and shade. We suppose a portion of tho square will be laid ont for baseball and cricket grounds, and inducements will then be held out to young men to engage in these manly sports which develop health and muscle. It appears to us a mistake to employ the chaingang upon works remote from the city, as has frequently been done. In this country the weather is some times very uncertain, and the men, after being marched out to their work two or three miles, have to be marched back again to avoid the risk of a wetting. Whore the work lies near the prison they may often bo taken out. for several hours a day even during the rainy season, By this means a large amount of work may be had out of the chaingang which otherwise would not be available. We think the council should also tako steps to dispose of some of the other squares. Government garden is not suitable for a public pleasure ground, and it would be valuable for other purposes. Let the city council take proceedings which will enable them to divide this reserve, and some others, up into lots and sell thein. While they remain in their present condition they produce no revenue and are useless for any purpose. But tbey ought to bring good prices, and in the hands of private persons they would at once becomo subject to taxation and bring a considerable revenue into the city treasury. It seems to be doubted by some people whether we havo power to sell these reserves. If wo have not, let ns get it by an act of the legislature, Or otherwise, The difficulties in the way are not likely to disappear by the lapse of time, andeft is better to face them now and make a profit out of the transfer than to hold useless property from which we shall never derive any revenue whatever. We hope some enterprising member of the city council will give this matter his earnest consideration. pups lqjst;. Iost on Wednesday; 2: small J Black-ami-tan Pups.

ENGINEER KILLED AT PORT HAMMOND. A serious railway accident occurred near Port Hammond yesterday morning whioh resulted in the death of Oliver Heath, engineer in charge of tho locomotive. Tho locomotive was backing up, drawing a train after it. Whon passing over a small bridge near Port Hammond tho tender, which was ahead, went off tho track, taking tho engine with it. The fireman jumped ana called to Heath that alio was off tho track and ho had better jump, It is not known whether Heath triod to i'ump or not, but ho is supposed to have weu caught between tho ongino and tender as they fell over thu bridge. Ho was found badly crushed, nud died in 65 minutes. Ho was conscious to4] tho last, und asked the fireman to write to his family and tell them ho had been killed. Ho camo from Suffolk, England, and it is snid his wifo uud family uro probably on thoir way to join him in this country. Heath was about 50 years of age, and is described as u Bteady and industrious man. The remains wero brought to this city yes* terday for interment. Tho locomotive and tender are said to have been badly damaged. Only one oar loft tho track. Tho cause of the accident is not known. . , +.

On Thursday morning Constable Sharpo and doctive Paine, brought 4 Maple Ridge Chinamen up before W, D. Ferris, Esq., J. P. Oho Guy was charged with selling Chinamen brandy and opium, and pleaded not guilty. Mr. Thos. Paine, swore that he bought a bottle of brandy from prisoner on the 11th, and paid 6 bits for it. Frank Sinclair and Frank Reid wore with him at tlio time, and corroborated his evidence. They nlso bought some opium for 2 bits. Guy deniod the whole business, and said he had a witness, but the witnesB was not here. He was linnd 9100 for the brandy and $100 for the opium,-together with the license fee which was stated to be 8350. In default, Omos in gaol. Ah Futn, Ah Gon and Ah Gum wore charged, on the same evidence, with having sold opium at Port Haney. They admitted the charge and wero fined 050, each and tho amount of license, $260, making in all 8300 each, or 3mos. in gaol. The cases occupied about un hour, and the aggregate fines amounted to the handsome sumo of. $1450. Warrants were issued for seizure of the chatties of the prisoners. We are informed that this illicit opium and brandy traffic is carried ou largely not only along the line of railway but in this city. ■» Railway Progress Above. While we hear of the rapid progress of the railway line along the lower contract, between Emory and Port Moody, and the opinion expressed that the "iron horse" that toots at Port Moody Christmas morning will do the same thing at Yale in the evening; wo also learn that work is proceeding favorably between this place and Lytton. The Salmon river bridge, 35 miles above Yale, was completed last week, and Friday the rails were laid across it, so that now the train goos 7 miles past Salmon river, The bridge is one of the principal ones upon the contract: one span 200 feet, and two of 83 feet each; the approaches upon oither end ure 20 foet; the height is 125 feet, and we learn from Mr. Wm. Jameson, the builder of this difficult-structure, that it contains 240,000 feet of lumber, board measurement. The track is now laid nearly up to Mr. H. F. Roofer's contract, and he has a force of men pushing forward the job in hand—expecting soon to pass nlong word, "Come on with your rails." The track will bo laid before long as far as the 50 milo tunnel, which is now in competent hands and will be. finished in a workmanlike manner. There will, howover, remain a good deal of sloping and balaiting;. but as the steam shovel neither tiros easy nor goes on {Correspondence ot tlio Sentinel.] Doo Cbeek, Aug., 19.—There lias been anextensive forest Ore around this vicinity, as well as iu the distant neighborhood.

A correspondent writing from Spallumcheen reports land-seekers urriv-'l ing, and it is believed a large population will Boon bo found in that district. It iB understood tho government purpose laying out "Lambloy's Landing," near the head of Shuswap,Lake, as a town plot, and as soon as a proper sur vey is made lots will be offered for salo. There cannot be a' doubt respecting the rapid growth of the place named. The extensive district is becoming fully settled, and a shipping fhiint is required. The steamers can and their passongers and freight, and receive the produce to go to market. It is believed that the greater part of tho best land .in Spallumcheen will soon be taken up; and Okanagan,also, is attracting settlers. It only requires an earnest movement toward constructing tho proposed canal to set Okanagun, especially, a "booming." No doubt noxt sonson will be one of prosperity for the whole inland country. Tho Eagle Pass wagon road work is (\oing its part and the going ahead with the Canal would be hailed by the people everywhere with joy. This question should bo kept prominently to the front.

On a railroad train, just behind a plainly dressed motherly looking woman, accompanied by a noisy boy, eat two fashionably dressed ladies. Tho boy was given to asking all kinds of questions, and occasionally he would whine like a cub boar and twist himself around and frot. "If I hnd hold of him for a minute I'd blister him till ho couldn't stand up," said one of the ladies. - "Here, then," replied the motherly old lady, "you may take hold' of him. if you want to slap, slsp him. I haven't the hart to do it. " Excuse me," faltered the annoyed lady. " I did not think you could hear my remarks." " Oh, no harm done, for I know that he is enough to annoy anyone, aud it may seem strange to you thnt I do not slap him but I can't. Once I hud u lit-, tie boy that I slapod. Every timo he would osk foolish questions or whine, I'd slap him. Every body said that I was a model mother, and I waa so flattered by these remarks that I was even more strict than over with hiin.

Iu a recent lecture before the Royal Institution, of London, Sir William Thomson presented four lines of argue- ment by which physicists havo been enabled to estimate the sin of mole- uuloi—the invisible particles whioh are supposed to constitute nll matter. Stated roughly, it is shown by thii reasoning—with a high degree of probability—that, inordinary liquids, transparent solids or seemingly opaque solids, average distance between the ceutres of contiguous molecules U lew than one two-millionth of an inch and greater then one four-hundred-millionth part of an inch, H a globe of water or glass six and one-thira inches in diameter were magnified to the size of the earth, the size of each constituent molecule being increased in the same proportion, then the magnified mass would be more coarse-grained than a heap of small shot, but probably less coarse-grained than a heap of six-and- a-third inoh globes. — '♦ — Herr Wieler, experimenting at Tu- binger, has discovered that the growth of plants is more rapid under diminished atmospheric pressure—all other external conditions being the same— than at normal pressure. On the other hand, increasing the pressors lessens the rate of growth, the minimum being reached at two or two and one-halt atmospheres.

AU du morning I have been sitting in th. bay-window that looks over the park, writinn home letters and en- StavorinR to atone for long Up.-, of nosloct by eloquent descriptions of the beauty by which I am surrounded, toerynowandthenllaydownmy pen and lean back among the cushions, lulled by the slumbrous sense of still- ness pervading the whole place! or itazuuiidly out, trace the leafy shadows Kng athwart the warm patches of ffiht, or listen to the soft swaying and soughing of the trees just ruffled by a passing breeze. , „ . herwald has come in half an hour uo to sit opposite ino and write busi- ness letters, leaving Dudley to knock the balls about in the adjoining billiard-room by himself, of which oocu- Eation he iB apparently weary, as *■• aa just entered noisolessly, and scanning tho book-shelves previous nuking his selection. Herwald s eyes have a misty far away look, as he sits resting his head against the carved back of his ohalr, and toying idly with his pen, and I recognize the drooping curve of the mouth aa certain indication ot perplexity or care. Yes, ft is the same old faco, there is nothing changed or new about ' aavo the somewhat grand carriage th. head, and perhaps a littlo willful ourl of the upper lip; and looking at it now, old memories surge upon nio; and distinct among them all, that spring morning in th» room even now called Herwald's, when we were all making sorrowful preparations for tho departure of tho boy who was as one of us. I oouW seo him sitting in the old window-seat following my mother with wistful eyes, as. she folded up his tilings with her own dainty hands, and laid them in hia trunk: never offering to help her in his Strang, absent mood; and how Louie and I at the last could not buckle the straps of his /portmanteau for our toars, and how the fingers that camo to our aid were cold and trembling, too. . I remembered also the impatient look of the proud father, when the good-byes were being aaid in the hall over and over again; but I think even he was touched, when Herwald threw his arms round my mother, saying, "Good-bye, mother, good-bye; I have never known another;" and it was Dudley, Dudloy quiet and thoughtful even, in those days, that led him so gently away, saying, "Yout fathor waits, dear Herwald; you know you are to oome to us again; don't fret, nun; never fear, we'll see you back soon." , ... But he did not, and perhaps it was tome dim presentiment of this long •even years parting that filled the lad's eyes with tears and choked hia voice. At this moment I became aware that my dreamy observation of him was being repaid with full interest. "Well, Nellie, 'do my simple features content you 1' as Shakespeare has it, or is my face as a sheet of hieroglyphics to be carefully unriddled by bent brows and mysterious .yes t" "I bog your pardon," I said laugh ingly, "I did not mean to stare, but your look recalled aid scenes to me; you at marvelously little changed." "Just aal was thinking the contrary ot you." "Of met" 1 exolaimed, tctmng scarlet; "you surely have not been analyzing me all this time, when I imagined you lost in the mazes of business 1" "My analysis, though thofough, was brief; will that content you) You know physiognomy was.always my weakness; and I havo an odd trick even now of studying my neighbor's . face as index to his character; and don't think me conceited, I havo never found myself wrong; if evor a man has a pet weakness or hobby, I am sure to find it out in tho first half- hour." "You are punishing me sadly for my inconsiderate stare." "Nonsense, Nellie, your eyes were looking through, not at me; besides, these liberties aro accorded to old friends." "But, Herwald, how am I changed! "I thought you wero not at the first minute of mooting, but I see you are." "Woll, go on, don't be mysterious." "Well, you'vo changed your hair for one thing; you used to have it in a flood of ourls just tied in a blue rib- bon, and not that mass of glossy plaits." "True, I forgot that, but I have long worn it so." "Then I miss the old placidity of expression, and in ita place I read a certain wistfulness And unrest. I never thought to st e it on your face, Nellio; and, lastly, you have that look which mothers have, the anxious loving expression of one who has many cares and many responsibilities; nay, I could have summed up the whole in on. brief sentence—I left the girl, I find the woman. Have I spoken too plainly!" for his earnestness had made the tears spring to my eyes. "No, but I never guessed you had auch penetration; how could you see " .11 this!" "He is a perfect Argus," muttered a distant voice. "Halloa, an you there, old Seneca, listening to my rhodomontadesl I thought Nellie and myaolf sole tonants of the library." "I wu tired of making fine strokes for only myself to admin, Don Quia oto." "Oh dear, oh dear, tho old namo! how strangely it Bounds. Well, as vou are ben, come and ne if this letter will settle my business." "You still write with your left hand, old fellow," wu Dudley's nmarku h. suUd himself comfortably on th. aim of Herwald's chair. "It looks lik. it, I own; oh, how my poor father uaod te abuse what h. called my excusively ungentlemanly hud." "The whole style of the epistle seems abusive; what's it all about*" "Oh. didn't 1 tell you)" laughed Herwald;. "I've spoiled the point. Why, it is a certain bullying tenant of ours, who wu especially odious to my father; times cut of number he tried to eject him, and never got hold of a proper handle for the purpose. But now the lease la up, and the fel- ' low hu bun whining and cringing to me to bar. itnnewedl a civil no he won't tab.; do you think this will do'" "Wall, rather; it Is hot and strong enough in all conscience." "All light, gin it hero and lat m. •Mlitup. Thaw." "Hellea, Quixote, what ia this sotntsd billet-doux! it looks awfully suspicious; I bet you anything it is from th. unm.ntion.ble she.' • "Don't ctuif, three'. » »ood follow, I want to writ, tludirectioni properly; but Dudley wm In on. of Ms provok- likely you have lived so long in the land of the Lancashire witches without having Borne penehant or other." "I assun you," answered Herwald seriously, and a little sadly, "then is no 'unmentionable she' in the case for me, or ever will be, that I know of. True, the Lancashire witches are handsome and sprightly enough; but I am fastidious—fastidious and I think a little cold. I shall ahock you dreadfully; I don't muoh caro for girls." "Oome, Nellie," cried Dudley, rising with a serio-comic air, "Jet us leave this houso, this abode of a monster, a Frankenstein; you hear, he does not can for you.!' "I did not say women, I said girls. Confound your chaff, Dudley." "Oh dear, oh dear," murmured Dudley exhaustedly, "how these blase men of the world talk, with their women and their girls." "I tell you, girls, the ordinary run of them, an slow, vapid, men frivolous butterflies, pretty enough of course, but not what I want to bud in a woman. It is an odd idea," he continued with a bashful glow on his face, "but I sometimes wonder if Hurst Hall will ovor have a mistress. Of course it will be vory lonely living here all by myself, but I don't think I shall over find exactly what I want." "Hear the young autocrat. What an tho graces of mind ond body your Quixotic lordship requires, then!" "Oh, something mignonne, petite, spirituelle. Jo no saw quoi—oh, I can't toll. Sometimes the fair lady of my fancy is one thing one day, and one thing another, and never two days alike." "Is she ever drawn from life, may last!" A wicked little smilo lurked in the comer of Herwald's mouth. "You are fishing in too shallow water, Dudley." Then with a sudden bright change, "Yes, I can tell you, I can show you the exact portrait of the fair ideal. I lighted on tho vory thing one day in a volume of anonymous poems, and it seized my fanoy wonderfully;" ond crossing the library with the apringy atep so natural to him, he searched for the book, and Came back, his finger on the open page. "Well, go on, is the lad bewitched! what are you looking at! have you not found the 'isetite miononne,'and what do you call it, in thoro!" "Yes, but she is not petite,' cried Herwald, looking rather foolish; "she must bo tall, listen— "My lady walks in stately grace." 'Of course she is, you never saw a little person walk in stately grace; she may be some fair-haired giantess. Oo on." "My lady walks in stately grace," "All right, you said that before; I hato repetitions." Herwald replied by a right-hander that sent Dudley out of his place, and forced a strangled bark from the red cushion on tho table. "Bo quiet, Sprite, be quiet, my little wee lady," cried Herwald, laying the animal to his oheek, "don't excite itself, or it will have the bronchitis; no, no kisses," aa the little red tongue wandered lovinely over hia face; "I lovo not such ovidonces of affeotion— thank you, no," as I picked up the book ho had dropped and pressed it on him; "we'll leavo the fair ideal where sho is." "I'll bo good," oried Dudley, from the depths of an ouy-chair; "go on, Quixote." * And Herwald magnanimously completed the stanzas. "My lady walks in stately grace; - The sunbeams toying with her hair Have left thoir golden glories there, Tinting Its brown with color fair To frame her winsome face. Upon her clear and steadfast brow One littlo vein it courso doos show Like brooklet on a plain of snow, While dusky lashes darkly fringe The wonders of hor deop blue eycB, Which lake-like mirror hack tho skies; Yet ever in their depth thero lies Still thought with sadness tinged." "Don't stop, finish it." "Oh, the rest is a mere lovo idyll; but I will read it." "My lady hath,a beauteous face! Last night the sun went burning down, The heavens wero in a crimson irown, And skirted redly round the town. Oh, 'twas an hour of grace! I stole beneath the boechen shade, Whoso overhanging branohos made A bow'ry depth and still arcade For fawns and dryads meet; Tho mosses hold their laps of dew, And rang tho merry hare-bells bluo, As she camo stealing on to view, With wealth of dainty feet. "My lady corneal she comes, my love] Her silken trail of garments sweep Across the grasses In their sleep, Which shake their silvered heads and weep At her light tread above; And wondrous things with curious eyes Come stealing forth in slow surprise, Luminous things of earth and sales, And coil themselves around; A zephyr wandering th ough tho air Stir, tho coy masses of her hair, And leaves a tiny rose-leaf there That flutters to the ground. "Through the dim aisles she moves, my saint, Erect with girlhood's head sublime, Fraying a prayer against all time, With folded hands and face divine, That makes my spirit faint; My heart pants like a frighted deer, My soul is wrapped about with tear, Because my lady drawoth near, Then, as she breathes my name, 1 fall and kiss her twinkling foet, 1 call her mine, my own, my sweet! And dare to whisper Margaret, With lips that an aflame!" 1 "Yes, very pretty, and tho Idea is debonnain and winsome onough; but Herwald, my poor lad, suoh statoliness would eclipse thy puny inches." "Peace, thou son of Anak!" "I would advise you, also, to take care before you plunge into the wonders of her deep blue eyes; Bhe may prove but a golden-haired Lorelio alter all." "True, 0 king, live fonver; but, Nellie, may I uk what that little smile is)" I waa smllling to myself in a curious mood, but would not have enlightened him for tho world; so ho turned baffled to his tormentor.
