The Democratic papers have been
very careful since the elections TO make
no sign in regard to the future policy of
their party. The reasons for this are
sufficiently clear to ali political obServ-
ers. The Democrats simply can not af-
ford to state plainly what they would do
with the finances or. with the South
N. \. Times.

''but the presence of his friends must always
be mutual qualification and delight.
Then there was pause, rs there any,
thing new in the papers, Mr. Simpson?'' in
quired Mrs. Brewster, at last, feeling she
ought to break the awkwardness of the 81
lence. Mr.. Simpson cleared his throat and
replied that there was, that most interest
ing and important correspondence had been
going on between the Pope and the Emperor
of Germany. Such a subject was Just suited
for Mr.. Simpson to declaim upon, and by the
time he had enlarged upon his own views of
his favorite paper, half an hour had slipped
by, and Mrs. Brewster, glancing at her
daughters, remarked that if they intended
going on their expedition it was quite time to
get ready. So the girls put on their best hat
with poppies and corn-fowers in the front,
and the quartette set off-Bella and Mr..
Simpson leading the way, while Mrs. Brews-
ter and Rosie brought up the rear, followed
by Joe, their Skye terrier, in full bark. A
good mile and a half of dusty road had to be
traversed before Scoresby was reached. For
this mile and a half any fiat commonplace
would do. No one could possibly expect to
be inspired by turnpikes and hay-wagons it
was not in the nature of things; besides, a
road is always to a certain extent public; one
is liable to be logged and jostled by milk-wo-
men, bicycles, girls schools, and hundred
oLher things, all OF which tend to interrupt
conversation and disturb the mind. Yet Mr..
Simpson stuck fast to Bea's polonaise, never
bndging from it for single instant, and Mrs.
Brewster whispered to Rosie: $50 far, so
good; he certainly was never. more attentive
than he is to-day"
And now the great iron gate of Scoresby
came in sight, and Mrs. Brewster felt her
spirits rise more than ever. True, there was
a long expase of avenue and garden to be
passed and commented upon, but yonder, in
that deep cluster of trees, yonder those love
inspiring summer-houses were situated!
Amt those lovely borders ?" cried Bella,
pontng with her parasol, and already tired
to death OF her companion; "arn't those
lovely borders, and don't the colors harmon
ize well with one another?', e
"Beautifully!' exclaimed Mr. Simpson.
with some show of enthusiasm ssbesutifulIy!
that golden shade and that deep russell
brown seem to melt into each other. Prav
have you studied botany, Miss Brewster9
mo" answered Bella: 81 only know the
common names of few flowers. 1 don't
