II 't''' BY THOMAS B. MITCHELL.
| QAHE deep tones of the iron seminal Of
u the grand cathedral of St. Mark s
sounded heavily on the midnight air, as a
number of figures, clad in the guise of
monks, noiseeSsly wended their way to-
wards the western gate of the city. A
firm resolve was written on their frowning
features, and a wild, malignant fire shone
from their flashing eyes.
They had nearly reached the gate Of
the city, when they paused before an old
dilapidated building, and made a low sig
nal. 1t was soon answered from within,
and, after the drawing back Of bolts, the
door slowly opened, while the party Of
monks entered and then the door closed
behind them with a dull sound.
They followed their guide into long
hall, and throwing back their cowls, seat
ed themselves around large oaken table,
while one, who appeared to be the leader,
drew a roll of parchment from under his
gown and laid it on the table.
why is Otto not here ? he asked, in
harsh tone, glancing at tall person
who sat oppsite to him.
Il know not, Faust, returned the other;
yet fear his absence bodies no good to
our cause, he added, in deep, meaning
tone.
What mean you, Bohren ? Think
you he dare say aught of our league p
Il think be has a secret, that, if it were
revealed, would cause US to tremble fol

Au is his enemy; for it was but year
since he murdered his aged sire, and Ru'
doli swore TO be revenged
A signal from without interrupted the
conversation, and in few minutes a
young man, whose fine features had been
darkened by the sun Of some twenty sum
merS, entered the hall and seated hmSel
at the table.
You are late. Ouo, spoke the leader
monk, turning towards the new conner
True. Faust; yet am in time for bust

quvered with some strong emotion.

midnight steals over the city, Arnaud is {

These words were received with cheer
by all except Otto ard his friend. A dee
meaning smile rested on the fine feature
OF the youth, and he gazed pityingly o.
Faust's stern visage. After again takin
the oath to remain true, they separated
each TO return to his home.
Otto and his friend took differer
course from the rest, and were soon stand
ing by the side of the lake at the foot

In deep recess Of his chateau was
the aged Baron W Walter Comle, reclining
on couch with his form halt bid by the
heavy folds OF the costly drapery. A
troubled expression rested on his noble

played over his brow waxed darker. Ri.

How to know the nge ola Horse.

The colt is born with twelve grinders
When the four from; teeth have made their
appearance, the colt is twelve days old and
when the next four comes forth, il is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth appear,
the colt is eight months, and when the latter
have attained the height Of the iront-tecth,
il is one year old The two year old colt has
the kernel (the dark substance in the middle
of the tooths CROWN ground out OF all the
front teeth In the third year the middle
front-teeth are being shifted; and when
three wears old, These are substituted by the
horse teeth. The next four teeth IRE shifted
in the fourth year, AMI the corner teeth III
the fifth. At six years the kernel is worn
out of the lower middle front-tceth, and the
bridle-teeth have now attained to their full
growth. AT seven years hook has been
formed ON the corner teeth Of the upper jaw;
the kernel of the teeth next at the middle
fronts is worn out and the bride teeth begin
to wear off, At eight years of age, the kerr
mel is worn out of all the lower front teeth,
and begins TO decrease in the middle upper
fronts. In the ninth year, the kernel has
wholly disappeared from the upper middle
front teeth, the hook on the co, ner-teeth has
increased in size, and the bride teeth lose
their points. In the tenth year the kernel Is
worn out Of the teeth next to the middle
fronts of the upper jaw ; and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from

years old, the crown Of all the iront-teeth in
the lower jaw, has become triangular, and
the bride teeth are much worn down. AZ
