In which Georgianas horse stood. and
now the Squire held her mare and his
own horse at the gate Of the churchyard.
The state of affairs needed no explana-
tion. He took it in at one glance. His
daughter trembled. She had never seen
such a look on his face before. She adj
vanced step towards him.
sc Never come near me again, - was all
he said, as he threw the refns Of Georpi
ana's mare to his whip and called his
hounds away to find another fox. Butthe
field fingered to see the "happy pafrs'-
the bride in tears-depart ingioriously in
a farmers chaise.
Eighteen months passed Mr.. Haueh-
mond was, in his opinion, the laughing.
stock of the county. Women were YER
min. He had publicly horsewhipped the
reverend scoundrel of a brother" who
had presumed to marry his daughter in a
church he had given him-horsewhipping
a clergyman being not altogether a unique
feat at the end of the eighteenth century.
But Parson Downes and young Elliot let
Georgiana know how things were going
on at HaughmOnd Hall. What they told
her was this: First, the Squire left off
cards; then he talked of giving up the
hounds to younger man then his appe-
tito began to fail him. These were good
signs, Beorgiana knew. But her father
resolutely refused to see her, open her let
ters, or recognize her existence. She was
dead to him, he said, and he moped with
his dogs al alone. ~F ~
Mrs. Wilton was a young lady of re.
source. She had devised the romantic
elopement; now she hit upon another
scheme.
She drove in chaise thirteen miles, on
a hot July afternoon, with her old nurse
and Master Gilbert Wilton behind her. 4
In the shrubbery the young gentleman,
just six months old, was popped into a
great wicker basket built on purpose.
Nurse carried the basket to the butler.
The butler carried it to the master of
Haughmond Hall. Both were in the
plot.
Heaven help the man If he can find it
in his heart to say owt but yea to such a
beauty" said the old woman who had
nursed Georgiana, as she handed her trLas-
ure to her old fellow servant.
Squire Haughmond woke from his
nap.
A little cry made him aware of the WIS.,
itor's presence.
He opened the hamper There, on
great pillow, lay lovely boy On his
little white frock was pinned card with
this upon il:
Grandfather, if you please, I'm come
to see you"
For the nurse and the mother there was
an awful three minutes of suspense.
Then the 'Squire's bell rang.
Bring my daughter here"
God bless your dear heart. mistress, :"
cried the old nurse, breathless among the
laurels where her mistress was in hiding
he's got him on his knee
That afternoon Georgiana rode her own
mare back to fetch her husband. They
never left Haughmond Hall again, and a
Wilton holds it now, as good ox-hunter
as his great grandfather was langsyne.-

to prolong life. The company alluded to
was established to insure the lives of tee

The result of the nine years. business shows
that the mortality experience in the teetota-

The drought has affected our grass crop more seriously than has generally been supposed, if we take the graphic illustra- tion recently given by local fisherman as correct. A farmer, not thousand miles from here, noticed the ''gudgeon snatch CT" picking his way through his best meadow and politely demonstrated with him for tangling the grass. Whereupon the knight of the rod, after giving the worthy agriculturist cordial invitation to region where drought is perpetual and the thermometer always high, re- marked that, IS to grass, he could easily plant his No. 12 boot between the blades anywhere in that meadow.

Threatening clouds prevented the timid ones and those living at dis tance. from attending the concert.
