Without word Louis Meredith bowed
and withdrew, a sadder ifnot wiser man,
as the betrothed Of Beatrice entered the
apartment.
A few weeks later, in those spacious
parlors, surrounded by her friends, Beat
rice gave her hand where she had long
since given her heart. Never had she
looked so lovely Ms now, when, with a
holy confidence, she intrustcd her happi-
ness 10 the keeping of the man of her
choice, and never during a lcng life Of
mingled prosperity and adversely did she
have occasion 10 regret it.
Their love was founded on rock, aud
though the rein descended, and the foods
came, and the winds blew, it fell not, for
it rested on The sure foundation Of trust in
each ether and in God.

"Is Mr.. Irving in!" asked young man,
evidently stranger, entering the large es-
tablishment of Messrs. Irving & Co., the
most successful of the many successful mer-
chants in Mont'ord.
"He is, sir" was the reply Of the clerk
addressed. "Step this way, sir, and will
show you to the counting-room,"
Picking his way, through boxes and bales
of goods, the gentleman followed his guide
and was ushered into the room.
Mr.. Irving was seated at his desk, busily
engaged in writing. He looked up as the
boy approached him, and seeing the strun.
ger, exclaimed:
"Ah, Meredith, how are you! Take a
seat and wilfbe at your service ina few
moments"
lie turned again to his desk, and rapidly
sealing the letter he had been writing,
gave that, with several others, to the boy
in waiting, and then turned to the new
conner. He looked at him searchingly,
then bursting into fit Of laughter exclaim.

BEATRICE LANCASTER.
BY MIRIAM r. HAMILTON.

1t was late in the afternoon. A long row
Of girls and boys stood ina regular line be-
fore their teacher, in little rcd school,
house reciting their spelling lesson, while
the remainder Of the pupils 6dgeted in their
seats, piled and replied their books on their
desks, and cast restless, eager glances out
nt the open door, and then at the teachers
lace, for it was nearly time for dismissal,
and weary Of long afternoons conine-
ment, the children could hardly wait for
the tinkle Of the bell-the signal of their
release. At last the spelling class took
their seats, the bell sounded and instantly
there was scene of onfusion-boys rush
ed out Of the door, and gave vent to their
pent-up spirits in whoops, ye.ls and eomer-
sets; and girls more quietly, but not less
gaily ran out into the open air. Soon their
merry voices died away in the distance,
and the teacher was left alone in that Just
now crowded school-room.
She was yorng and striking-lookng
girl. Her form was erect. her step stately
and her features, though irregular, were
pleasing; her abundant raven hair was
wound in sort Of coronal around her head
in a singular but not unbecoming fashion;
her complexion was clear~olve, and her
mouth firm in its expression, Utmost un-
pleasantly SO when closed, but when she
smiled she was positively beautiful; then
her whole countcnance changed; her large
fiery eyes grew soft and tender, and the
pride and hauteur that spoke in every line
alnent, marring her otherwise almost per-
feet beauty, disappeared.
Just now one Of those beaming smiles
lighted up her countenance; she stood by
her desk in her usual erect position, hold
ing note, yet unopened, in her hand. II
had been brought to the school room during
the session, and now that she was alone,
she prepared to read it She seemed in re
haste to break the seal. She looked atthe
bold, firm handwriting and pressed It to
her lips; then slowly unfolding 1t, she readi

ed out in prayer SO ferven nj, so power
full in his faith, that The very angels OF
heaven must have yelled their faces as they
listened TO that blending Of etelnal faith
and human sorrow.
Mary listened at first trembling, and
with strange awe: then The burning words
began to thrill her heart and limb, and

his prayers had drawn down from heav'

same holy anguish and the voice of faith

10 the throne Of God.
As he prayed, the face of the sick man
grew sublime in its palencsS, and the
death sweat rolled over it like rain, while
that oI the child grew strangely luminous.
Gradually, mouth, eyes and forehead kin
died with glorious joy. and instead of
that heart-rending petition that broke
from her at first, her voice mellowed into
soft thrnes and murmurs Of praise.
The sick man hushed his soul and lis
tened; his exhausted voice broke into
sighs, and thus, after little time, they
both sank into silence--ihe child filled
with strange ecslacy--,he father bowing
with calm joy beneath the hand Of death.

Hence we infer that the present 1856 is in
reality the year of our Lord 1860; in other
words that 1860 years have elapsed since the
advent or beginning of the Christian Era.
Why not treat this case as February was
treated9 Why not call next year 1861, and
represent the fact as it is! Our Christian
chronology is now perpetuating a talsehood.
That is not good example.
In connection with the preceding, we will
remark that our calendar is derived from the
Roman. AS they reckon by calends, ides,
and nones their year may be summed up in
the following lines:
March, May. July, October, do contain
Six nones; the rest but four. Each month does
claim
Eight ides: next after these the calends comes,
Which always to the following month belong"
Our readers may also remember that Juli-
us Caesar is said to have been assassnated on
the ides of March, nineteen hundred years
ago, at the age Of iitly-six. Hence the ex-
preston,
Remember March, the idcs of March remember,
Did not great julius bleed &c'
Here we will rest our crude historical sketch
of the meaning and derivation of bissextile
year, that the matter may not be tedouslv
long for persual. At another time brief
continuation of the subject, may be expec-
