They had not met for years. Once
they had leaned over the self-same gar
den gate, and sat side by side on the old
fashioned hair-cloth sofa, whispering
those platitudes which young love makes
of such breathless interest, while the kerr
osene lamp was turned down to the
faintest glimmer compatible with perfect
propriety.
He had said that her image, and hers
alone, could fill the void which absence
from her left in his heart; and when,
after unutterable agonies Of broken but
impassioned English, he had said that he
adored her, she had gently reclined her
head upon the home-starched shirt
bosom that creaked above his manly
breast, he having, with great presence OF
mind, placed his handkerchief theron, in
view of possible pomatum.
And then he had taken the assurance
that she reciprocated his affection from
her own lips, and he remembers, with a
sad smile, that her breath was family
suggestive of fried onions, eaten the
previous day; but in those heavily gold.
plated moments he thought that the
odor of violets in spring was exhaled
from her rosy lips.
He went away to work; they cores
pended until, from two letters a week,
the correspondence dwindled down to
the exchange Of casual newspaper, and
then silence.
She finally married-so did he.
And now that they had met, before his
heart had done beating, he saw that in.
stead of the sweet girl with brown hair
and 1.-the, willowy grace, which some
how he had half dreamed of encounter
ing, there stood stout lady with false
front, who said
"Well, James, do declare! How old
you've growed, an how gray you be %
And he replied:
Well, Hannah, never should have
known you. How stout you are %
Good heavens is that fat old woman
the girl that | thought | once loved %
he whispered to himself as he turned
away, while she murmured, half audibly,
Lemme see, wasn't Jim an ! 'ngaged :"

How TO Cook SruRGEoS.-Land and
Water recommends the following recipe
for cooking sturgeon, which, doubtless,
is applicable TO other fish Z" Put a piece
Of sturgeon into stew-pan, cover it with
weak broth, into which put vinegar and
cheap claret in the proportion Of a small
teacup Of vinegar and pint Of claret 10
two quarts Of broth, add little cayenne
pepper, and some salt and some sweet
herbs. Cover the stewpan closely, set II
by the side Of a slow fire, and let the
contents simmer slowly for twelve hour.
Set the pan and its contents on one side,
until the fat has risen 10 the surface, and
is solid enough to be removed. Remove
the fish; melt the gravy, thicken IL a
little, and IL it be not sufficiently
piquant in flavor, add any sauce you
like. When the fish is wanted for din.
ner, put il and the gravy into stewpan,
and let IL remain on the fire until hot
enough to serve. A deep dish must be
used for serving it,"

The presence Of the Sultan of Zanzibar
in England and France has attracted
new attention 10 that out-ofthe-way
African region. The island of Zanzibar,
ON which the Sultan's capital stands, is
situated short distance from the vain
land and is covered by luxuriant
tropical vegetation. The city is inhab-
tied by Arabs, Africans, Mslays, and
Fast Indians, and is the depot of the
East African ivory trade. Until re-
Gently it was also the headquarters of
the slave trade, but the British Govern
ment has pretty thoroughly broken up
this branch of its commerce. Zanzibar
is extremely unhealthy. II has been
the point of departure of Burton, Spoke,
Stanley, Cameron, and the Central
African explorers, aud they all agree in
heartily denouncing its malarious atmos-
phere and filthy streets.
