On arriving in England, Fenwick proceeded
Immediately to his ancestral hall, where he
was informed by the servants that one Of his
apnis, who had caused him and his mother so
much trouble and unhappiness, was now on her
death bed, attended by her brother, Sir JOHN
Fenwick. He entered the chamber of death.
The ghastly visage Of the dying woman be-
came still ghastlier, when she beheld the boy
whom she and her sister had so deeply wrong
ed. She Immediately confessed that the tale
they had invented to blast the reputation OF
Lady Cl2ra, and ruin his and her innocent son,
was without foundation; that Clara was q
good and true wife until he drove her away and
spurned her. Lord Fenwick folded his long
lost son to his heart, and shed tears of jay over
him. The woman died in few minutes after
making the confession. Her sister is at pres
ent the inmate of convent. and strives to
atone for her black hearted treachery by fast
ing, penitence and prayer.
The health of Lady Clara failed after the
departure Of her son for America, and Capt
O'Neal took her to the south of France, in the
hope of restoring it, But she soon died, and
not long afterward the Captain was killed in a
duel BY will, he bequeathed his property
which was of great value, to his wies son
John n. Fenwick.

An EDIToR's LOVE SToRY.-An editor Of Il
Southern paper relates as follows, how he once
fell in love.
I'VE were never, kind readers, desperate
in love- but once and that was with a red
no, auburn-haired girl, with freckled com
pleetion, who had but few pretcnsions to
beauty; but then she had such really beautiful
eyes, deep liquid orbs through which her soul,
in moments Of tenderness, looked out in pas
sionate fervor and in joyous mirth flashed and
snarkled with the light of thousand dew
drops-diamonds, we were about to say-but
we never saw thousand. Her name was
Laura-which, when breathed softly by a very
soft lover, is a very sweet name-and her clear
ringing laugh fell around you like shower of
silver bells Moreover. she wore dark Wine
colored dress, trimmed with lilack covered vel
vet and black fringe, with a neat little white
collar of fne lace, which is the prettiest
of dresses and has the effect to make very
plain girl absolutely charming. She never
perforated her ear to hang thereby pendulum
Of glass or brass, and the only ornament on the
little white hand, which needed none, was a
plain gold ring. sacred to the memory of a
maiden's promise. Well one evenng-it was
moonlight in the summer time-we sat alone
in the porch, by the cottage door, holding that
little white hand in gentle pressure, but one
arm had inadyertautlv stolen around her waist
and silent song of joy = like the music of the
night" was in her soul. Our lips met in a
sweet delicious kiss, and bending softly to her
ear, we whispered the tale of passionate deyo-
ton proposed. In moment she tore her
hand from ours, and with look Of ineffable
scorn, she said, in a voice trembling with sup
pressed rage " What Marry an editor =
You git :" We slid.

PHYSICAL w WEAKNEss OF STUDIOUs MEN,
Think what poor specimens of the human ami

OF men are Do not men, by their beautiful,
touching and far reaching thoughts reach the
heart and form the mind of thousands, who
could not run hundred yards without pant

who could not dig in the garden for ten min
utcs without having their brain throbbng and
their entire frame trembling, who could not
carry in sack of Goals though they should

mistake and mistake which, will sadly de-
tcriorate the Anglo Saxon race You make
your recreation purely mental. You give a
little play TO your minds, after their day S
work but you give no play to your eyes, to
your brains, to your hearts, TO your digestion
in short, to your bodies And therefore you
grow weak, unmuscular, nervous, dyspepic,
near sighted, out of breath, thin haired men.
And in time, not only does all the train of evils
that follows your not providing proper recrea-
tion for your physical nature come miseraby
to affect your spirits, but, besides that, it
comes to jaundice and pervert and distort all
your views of men and things. l have heard
of those who, though suffering almost ceaselcss
pain, could yet think hopefully Of the prospects
of humanity, and take an unpreudiced view of
some political question that appealed strong TO

Different Opinions.

One evening at a quilting,
When all the other boys and girls
Were laughing, flirting, iilting-

As that young lawyer up the street,
Esquire Pygmalien Hawky
He's tail, and slim, ana lanternjawed,
And such a mouth-O, mercy
And then they say he's really thick

As for his hair-an old black sheep.

You're right in your opinion

Is running crazy in the wish
To be the largest patron
But, by the way this young esquire
Is worth heap of money

More than old Abercrunny
He's half million in the banks,
Ten thousand in hard guincas.

Don't talk of him so spiteful!
It's best to wait awhile, and see,
And give each one his rightful

The more we get acquainted
Just as the captains yellow barn
Shines more, the more it's painted

TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH.-I'he tenn
and near the surface, is but imperfectly under
stood. 1t is not yet established very conclu-
sively whether the bottom of the ocean is not
uniformly in condition of extreme cold, far
below the freezing point. Some of the more
recent observations made in sounding, it is
thought, seem to point in that direction. But
1t is difficult to conceive of any adequate cause
for such an extraordinary condition, especially
when considered in connection with the in
creasing temperature in the descent of mines
The temperature felt by plants and animals
has been proved to depend only in the slight
est possible degree upon the heat or cold ex-
isting below. The presence or absence of the
suns rays control the temperature almost cx-
cusiyely. When clouds intercept them in the
upper STRATA Of the atmosphere, the ultimate
warming influence is very much the same A
certain amount of heat is received in the ray,
and is cast of by radiation into space during
the night As either effect preponderates the
surface becomes warmer or colder thus in
creasing or diminishing the rapidity of the
radiation. Were the sun materially to change
its power, even for short period, the result
would be most serious. Judged by the rate
of cooling in single night, it would require
but a very brief period of total absence of the
sun TO change the summer into an intensely
cold winter air 1t is believed that the inter
nal heat of the earth cannot sensbly affect the
temperature Of the surface, the extent of the
influence being probably less than one degree
Fahrenheit.

STEEL PLATED SHIrs.-France and England
seem now bent upon running a race in The mat
ter of steel plated ships Of very l.fge size
France already has La Gloire, if not more, and
England, havlng been experimenting for some
time, has decided to begin to build with ali
possible dispatch. An English journal says:
:" The vessel which it is intended to be con-
structed will be rendered as nearly as possible
shot proof, aud this will be accomplished by
covering her above her water line with massive
steel armor plates. She will be of a size never
yet witnessed in the English navy, the inten-
tion being to construct her 400 feet in length
or about double the length of many line of
battle ships or about two-thirds the length of
the Great Eastern. She is to be furnished
with engines Of corresponding power, which
will drive her through the water at a high rate
of speed, and her armament is to consist ex-
clusiyely of Armstrong guns, of the heaviest
metal and greatest range. She will be the
most formidable vessel of war yet built for tie
government
AS we suppose our Government will have to
follow suit, this subject becomes very inter
esting one TO us. The expense of building
such steel-scaed monster of the deep must
be enormous. What with Armstrong guns
costing $4,000 apiece, and steel-plated steam
ships nation will need long purse which
means to take rank as first class power
1t would seem, judging by what we see in
the English papers, that common wooden
vessel would have no chance against steel
platter, as every ball would rebound from the
armed sides of the latter, and even her decks
be SO protected by iron bulwarks that but
very few shot could take effect.

human beauty are presented to our view, and

streams of affection to flow in Alpine torrents
