Modern Romances.

The London Punch is publishing
HAIOzeanna or 5he White Witness
Tale of the Times" intended to take off
the style of novel produced by Miss
BraddOn, Mrs. Wood and Wilkie Collins.
1t is illustrated, too, after the fashion OF
books. We quote a passage as a spe c.
linen:
Sir LioneI's carriage is at the door.
Farewell, mia Bettina,' he said,
pressing his wife to his heart, "I shall
come back when I return"
.'I doubt thee not, Lionel" was the
weeping lady's reply; and the coach
man having embraced the calm but
emotional butler, ascended to his seat
in the rumble, and the vehicle was soon
lost to view.
Two girlish figures, each dressed in a
lc5tde sac, approached.
"Mamma," they cried, twill you not
trust us nOW:"
''I will, p replied Lady Bettina. Gag
nesia come EveIine." They entered
the "BrOwn Study"
Listen said Lady Bettina, ''to my
secret. Before / married Sir Lionel

The lid of Agnesia's lovely eyes trem-
bled as she looked towards her sister
EveIine, a proficient in the French
tongue, murmured ''gd1lHlon" in her
ear
''Without noticing their emotion the
mother proceeded

man beneath my station in life. Seiz-
ed with an original idea that my rich
brother did not need his money, I in
duced Barlow Toto" she faltered.
Agnesia quickly passed her delicate
and from one lobe of her exquisitely
moulded ear to the other.

assured by her Ohspring's sympathy.
"The property became mine. William
Barlow, however, had to fly the Coun-
try. A warrant was out against him,
and in his absence lac was arraigned,

A grOan of horror burst from their
pale lips, and Lady Bettiua hid her
face in yariagated 6G71dGRuG,
"Some time after this" Lady Bettina
went on. "L married Sir Lionel, who,
yesterday, informed me that his wife
was still living. He has gone away to
seek her. I hope soon to have tidings
Of her decease."
Mamma" said Agnesia, "we too,

You strong enough to bear it ?"
Lady Bettina filled up a silver goblet
with sparkling eau de Oie and drank IL
off at a draught.

Charles Dickens.

"He is a fine looking man-who is
he ?"
Our felIow-traveler was an intsIli-
gent, well-bred and pious lady, who ap-
parently resided at a distance from the
great centers OF population, and, TO be-
guile the Journey TO Boston we had
shown her the new photographs Of the
great author and reader.
"This is Charles Dickens"
sd oes he live in Boston 2'
'He is the famous man who has been
reading in Boston but he is an En-
glishman,"
"Ah what does he readlD
ellis own works. Have you never
read anything OfDickens'?"
"No."
We accordingly explained that Mr..
Dickens was famous as an author and
ready to buy all the tickets available at
two dollars each and that his most
popular story could be obtained, with
several others, for twenty-five cents
each and recommended this investment
with congratulations on the coming
pleasure ofa first perusal of all the
books which we know now by heart.
This was acknowledged only, and the
following closed our agreeable inter
view and journey to your beautiful
city :
'fIs he a good manP"
Certainly he never attacks virtue
nor defends vice"
fare his stories true stories ?"
"Although constructed by his genius
as all artistic works must be, the stud
les of every character and scene are
from real life, and they may be called
true. They give true ideas, which is
the essential part of a true story"
els he a Christian man P"
"There is so much difference Of opin-
ion as to what constitutes a Christian,
that it is perhaps impossible to answer
this question TO the satisfaction of all.
The great body of Christians-those
who consider the essential things to be
those which the master declared as such
consider Mr.. Dickens as a worthy
Christian brother. Certainly he Is one
of the most eloquent and effective
preachers of this doctrine and practice,
and never treats il with sneers or indif-
ference"
"Is he a Baptist2"
"We have not seen that he has so de-
clared himself nor that he belongs-in
an exclusive sense-to any Of the sects."
"Well, that is perhaps not necessary
if he is Christian man.
We regret that we did not ask for our
friends address, and know where we
could send some of this authors works,
for it would doubtless be useful in the
district where this blessing is now un-
known. Boston TYdNseTiDt

''From the time Of the daughters ar

could hear strange noises in the house.
Steps were often heard upon ths stairs
in the lone still hours of night. Varfoun
articles of furniture moved mysterious
ly about i'm the room above, ana the old
gentleman and lady finally came to the
conclusion that the house was haunted
or that something was wrong. One
night, after all had retired, the 'parents'
not only distinctly heard steps upon the
stairs, but voices and noises on the
landing-place above. Armed with q
horse pistol that had done good Service
in the pioneer times, the father left the
bed and quietly approached -dhe foot Of
the stairs, where he found resting upon
the lower step, pair Of boots. At once

every member of the household to the

s'Au hands then proceeded cautiously
to the young lady's room, and not being
able TO arouse her, they broke open the
door Just in time to see a bOOtless man
dive through the window. The old
gentleman rushed to the opening, dis
charged his pistol, and the young man
dropped to the ground. Great heav-
ems! you have killed my husband y eX-
claimed the daughter, falling back and
ftinting upon the bed. Your husband
cried ali in q breath, and then a rush Of
domestics for the yard below.
"The young man was found upon the
ground beneath the window, and car
ried into the house, and the old people,
frantic with grief and fear, promised to
receive him TO their hearts if he would
only live. The doctor soon arrived, and
having dressed a slight flesh wound up
on his arm, pronounced him in no dan
ger. He has now recovered, and is one
OF the happiest men within fifty miles

The Abyssinian EZ beditiOn.

In common with other English Jour
nails, the Saturday Review writes In a
very despOndent and lugubrious strain
concerning the Abyssinian campaign,
asserting that the people are dissatis-
fed with it, and that the expensive war
should never have been undertaken.
The Review closes its article as tOllOwsi
No one Of his senses ever felt euY-
thing like sure that, however, much
trouble we take, we shall get back the
captives. Theodore may murder the %,
or he may carry them off into wild in
dala. If we do succeed in hberating
the captives or any of them, we shall
be truly fortunate; and it viii be hap
py day when the news of such a success
comes 20 England. But we must bear
in mind that we cannot undertake to
get the captives back. All we can do is
to infiict some sort Ofa punishment on
Theodore if we do not get them. We
can take his fortress, and thereby des-
troy his overs; or do something to-
wards destroying it ; although it must
be owned that every Abyssiuian seems
so afraid Of him that directly we were
gone Magdala would probably be re-
stored to him, of sheer fear and prostra-
GOn before his super-emtnent Brutality
We cannot be sure of Furnishing him
much, but we can be sure OF Furnishing
him little. This seems a reward, and
very tame ending of so great and costly
an expedition. But that is the fault
not of the expedition, but Of Lord Rus
sell and Mr.. Layard. If We choose to
enter into diplomatic relations with
penniless savage, who at any moment
can stink out Of known geography alto
uether, we must take the consequences
and one ofthe most unpleasant of these
consequences is that, even if we spend
nine or ten millions in whipping him,
neither he nor his neighbora will ever
quite know that he has been whipped.

The Robins Have Come Back Again.

There's a call upon the housetop. and an.
sWer from the plain.
There's q warble in the Sunshine, a tWittel
in the rain;
And through my heart, at sound Of these
There comes nameless thrill,
As sweet as Odor to the rose,
Or Verdure to the hill
And all these joyous mornings
Ny heart pOurs forth this strain
'+3Od bless the dear old robins,
Who have come back again.''
For they bring a thought of summer, of a
dreamy, luscious days,
OF king-cups in the meadow, making
golden haze
A longing for the clover blooms,
For roses all aglOW,
For fragrant orchards where the bees
M1Gh Qronlng murmers go.
I dream of all the beauties

And sing: "G5Od Keep the robins,
Who have come back again.
