By MRS. DUFF US HARDY.
Mrs. Hardy has written so well that her book will please a
numerous class of readers who like to be addressed by a woman
of kindness, good sense, and refinement, and who have not lost
•all taste for pictures of worthy people and peaceful English
homes. Compared with the ordinary run of modern novels, it
is as pure as the newly-fallen snow." —The Times, Dec. 26.
"A powerful, interesting, and well-wrought novel."—Athe-

CANDLES.—If you do not want your candles.
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy " PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITIN E," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM." or "BELMONT
WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA"
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffin candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Parafline, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Parable Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
"Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.
"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best I ight Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

Arlescott made play, with Pixie in close attendance,
Sylph being at the head of the remainder, of whom Hip-
polyte was slightly in advance of CaptainCrosstree, Sprite
and Badminton being in the rear. Before reaching the
Stand the favourite took the lead, having, however, only
a slight advantage of Arlescott,who was followed by Garus
and Hippolyte, Captain Crosstree, Sylph, and Sprite being
slightly in the rear, Badminton acting as whipper-in. In
the meadows Arlescott resumed the command, Pixie
dropping away, leaving Garus and Hippolyte in attendance
upon the leader. At the ditch-jump Captain Crosstree ran
into the third place, and no change occurred in the posi-
tions of the remainder until approaching the Stand for the
second time, when Badminton, who made up his ground
on coming up the hill, rushed to the front, passing the
Stand in advance of Captain Crosstree and Gains, Hippo -
lyte, Arlescott, Sylph, Pixie, and Sprite following in the
order named at short intervals. Reaching the meadows
again Badminton gave way, and Hippolyte was momen-
tarily in command; shortly afterwards, however, relin-
quishing the lead to Captain Crosstree, The ditch-jump
was taken by Captain Crosstree, Gams, Hippolyte, and
Sylph almost abreast of each .other, but immediately after
clearing it Hippolyte was beaten. The other three came
on in company till about a quarter of a mile from home,
when Sylph was in difficulties, and the contest was left to
Captain Crosstree and Garus, the latter getting the best of
it descending the hill, and winning cleverly by a neck.
Arlescott and Badminton, passing Irippolyte and Sylph' on
the hill, finished a good race home for third place, which
the formes obtained by a neck. Hippolyte was fourth, and
Sylph fifth ; Pixie and Sprite walked in, having pulled up
on the far side.

and Shiite, Sportsman being in the rear. Going up hill
Sinite headed Risk and passed the Stand slightly in the
rear of The Guide, Sportsman pulling hard at the quar-
ters of Risk. No change occurred until reaching the mea-
dews, where Nabocklish again ran into the second place,
but Sinite headed him at the ditch-jump, and went on in
pursuit of The Guide, whom he overhauled at the last
jump, and the two ran a fine race home, but The Guide,
always having the best of the struggle, won very cleverly
by a neck. A couple of strides past the post Snito fell,
Page slipping over his head without sustaining any injury ;
Nabocklish was a bad third ; and Sportsman was fourth.
Risk pulled up before reaching the Stand.
