CHAPTER XVII.
THE FIRST SUCKER.


On the following evening, as we have
said, Rosa returned with the Bible Of
Cornelius De Witte.
Then began between the master and
the pupil one of those charming scenes,
which are the delight Of the novelist who
las to describe them.
The grated window, the only opening
through which the two lovers we're able
90 communicate, was too high for con-
veniently reading book, although it had
been quite convenient for them to read
each others faces
Rosa, therefore had TO press the open
book against the grating edgeways, hold
ing above it, in her right hand the lamp,
but Cornelius hit upon the lucky idea of
fixing it to the bars, SO as to afford her
little rest Rosa was then enabled to fol-
low with her finger the letters and sy la
bles, which she was To spell for Cornelius,
who with a straw pointed out the letters
to his attentive pupil, through the holes
of the grating.
The light of the lamp illumiu sted the
rich complexion of Rosa. her blue liquids
eyes, and her golden hair under the head
dress of gold brocade; with her finger
held up, and showing in the blood, as il
flowed dowuwards in the veins, that pale
pink hue which shines before the light,
owing to the living transparency of the
flesh tint.
Rosa's intellect rapidly developed itsrlf
under the animating influence Of Corne-
Illus, and when the difficulties seemed too
srduous, the sympathy of two loving
hearts SCENE TO smooth them away.
And Rosa, after having returned to her
room, repeated in her solitude the reading
lessons, but. at the same time, recalled all
the delight which she had felt whilst re-
ceiving them. *
One evening she came half an hour
later than usual. This was too extraor-
binary an instance not to call forth, at
once, Cornelius inquiries after its cause.
''Ohl do not be angry with me" she
said, ait is not my fault. My father has
renewed an acquaintance with an old
crony who used to visit him at the Hague
and to ask him to let him see the prison
He is good sort Of fellow, fond of hi;

very free with bis money, SO as always t.

"You don't know anything further o

NO." she answered, "it's only fol
about fortnight that my father has ia
ken such fancy to this friend who is 81
assiduous in visiting him."
"Ah, So" said Cornelius, shaking hi
head uneasily, as every new inciden
seemed TO him TO forebode some catastro
phe, livery like some spy, one of thOs
who are sent into jails to watch boil
prisoners and keepers"

WEEDS As WATER PURIFIERS.

Mr.. Mechi writes as follows ! had re-
Gently a striking proof OF this. Into nv
pond runs a stream of 20 gallons pei
minute of fresh water, from a drain
which cut IL feet deep some 80 odd
years ago. Weeds will grow and thrive
in this pond. and we have annually to
rake out large quantities of them. They
look very beautiful as they grow IN
pellucid water, which is used for house
hold purposes. Said u visitor to me one
day, IF you had pair of swans, your
pond would be free of weeds" so kind
friend presented me with pair, and very
soon they cleared the pond. pulling the
weeds up by the roots and feeding on them
Nv family were delighted with the grace
1uI swans and the removal OF the weedy
distractions to boating. but although the
weeds were removed, the water was nc
longer pure and pellucid, but most decid
edly muddy ia taste. and when the steam
issued from the kettle the smell of mud
was unmistakable. Well. no one thought
it could be the swans; but at last ] came
TO the conclusion, and, despite family and
other remonstrances, returned them to
their original owner. After short period
the weeds reappeared, as they increased IN
bulk, the water gradually resumed the pei
lucidity and purity. =.
What the weeds do for the water and Its
occupants the land vegetation does for the
air; men, animals, and other living
creatures poison it, while the vegetation
absorbs the injurious gases, and converts
them into wholesome food and fuel Tor
man and beast, filling the atmosphere with
that precious oxygen without which men
and animals and other living creatures
could not live. We owe to the river veg
citation much of the purity of Mater. 1t
is excess of impurities from our towns
which are beyond its powers of appropri-
alton.
