If Mr.. Devereux had been questioned
half an hour later, it is to be feared
: that he would have been found to en-
tertain but confused remembrance OF
the events Of the next few minutes.
The appearance of his cousin (whom
! lie thought far away from Mort horpe)
was surprising enough in itself; hnt
this surprise decpened into an,nzemcnt
when he saw that recognition in
s,untly took place between kcnnon
and Alice 1ngleSby.
"You!" said the former, catching
his breath with u gasp, while his face
palcd and his eyes dllated almost in
| slan,aneousl y-"yon"
"Ycs. it, is ," said Alice, quietly E,
then, after minute, she held out her
hand, saying. IL little wls,fully. "Fate
has ordained il, Mr. Kcnnon. You see
| remember that we are old friends. F"
But, Instead of taking her hand.
Kcnnon folded his arms and recoiled
Il step.
Thcre is no question of fate or
friendship in the matt""," he said
coIlly. This is simply Il mistake. l
was looking for Miss IngIcsby, and l
was told that she was here. [ see
that she is not, SO beg pardon for my
intrusion, and leave you to the tete-a-
tefe which | disturbed"
He shot one dark, resentful glance
at DevereuX as he said the last words,
but the latter was too puzzled TO no.
tice it. Indeed. as it CHANGED there
was nothing in his mind but cordial
kindness towards his kinsman, and, if
he could have secured IL moments
time before complete bewiIdermeDt
overlook him, lie would have liked
nothing better than to express this
kindness. AS it was, he stood still
and said nothing. Not SO Alice, how
ever. She was mistress of the situa.
tion By right of her supreme self:com-
mand, and, as kennon turned 70 90,
she laid her hand on his arm. Holding
him captive thus, she spoke to Dcve-
reux with the same gracious smile
that had given him hope when she
agreed to stay, ten minutes before.
"Mr. Kennon and I arc old friends" ;"
she said. Eve know each other long
ago, and he is naturally surprised to
see me a1a.n-to see me here. If you
would not mind--lf | might ask you
to leave us for while ? lie will take
me safely down the mountain, l am
sure"
Within bounds Of civility palmer
request could hardly have been made
What Dcvcrcux replied or how he got
away he never knew. He went, of
course there was no alternative to
thal-but he carried 4 sore heart with
him, and it would have been vet sorer,
if he could have heard the first words
which Alice spoke after he was safely
out Of car-ehot,

is next to holiness, while taste and.
dress are the chief evidences Of ad-
vancement in refinement and ,civiliza-.

world is CONCERNED. The social circle
very justly excludes all who does not
conform TO- this requirement" Gooa
dress and good manners are passports
to the best society. Then why preach
infavor of a style Of dress that lowers
one in his own estimation, and, as u
consequence, in the estimation of
others? Are we not in great meas
ure judged BY our dress? Such twad-
die might as well be discontinued 1t

the cardinal points, and will not be
neglected by the ladies as long as the
gentlemen show such a decided pro-
ference for the most elegantly dressed.

HORACE GREELEY.

STEAK K1NDLY.-Much Of the un-
happiness in this world arises from
giving utterance to haSty, unkind
words. Many a sorrowful hour and
sleepless night have been spent brood
ing over some harsh or angry word,
which has dropped from the lips in Il
moment of unguarded passion. How
mach pain wo would save ourselves
and others if we would guard all our
ways and actions. Kind words, spo-
kel in the right time and place, do

cost nothing. willie they Zurich the

winning many true and faithful

Hungering Hearts.
Some hearts so hungering through the

Some hearts so hungering through the
world,
And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled,
TO hide the pain they may not speak.
The eyes may flash, the lips may smile,
The voice in giddiest mirth may thrill ,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart is pin!ng still.
Those know their doom and walk their
way,
With level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with late, nor weep nor pray !;
While others, not so sadly wise,
Are Knocked by phantoms evsrmore,
And lured by seemiHgs OF delight.
Fair to the eye, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight.
T see them gaze from wistful eyes,
/ mark their sign on fading cheeks,
7 hear them breathe in smOthered sighs,
And note the grief that never speaks.
For them no might redresses wrong,
No eye with pity is impearled-
Oh, misconstrued and suffering long,
Oh, hearts that hunger through the
world! .. ..
For you does life's dull desert hold
No fountains shade, no date grove
fair,
Nor gush of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches wide and bare.
The foot may fall, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still We make no weak complaint,
And speak no naere OF grief or blame.
Oh, eager eyes which gaze afar!
Oh, arms which clasp the empty air!
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,
Not all unpitied your despair.
Smile, patient lips so proudly dumb
When life's frail tent at last is furled,
Your glorious recompense shall come,
Oh, hearts that hunger through the
world!
