| In the dusk of the evening Kitty cam
down stairs again, to find Mr.. Baverstocl
talking to her father and step-mother.
I'VE were talking of getting married, Kit
! ty,' Mrs. Morton said making way for he
to sit down; but she stood staring at th'
group before her almost as if In dream
"And Mr.. Baverstock says he would not mar
ry an heircss for the world
mo, indeed | would not, Miss Kitty;
should only marry because loved the young
lady, and felt could devote my life to her.
"And why do you expect to be married, Mr.
BaversiOck 2" she asked absently.
He shuffied about uneasily, and answered
| in his squeaky voice:
well, hope-I hope the young lady vii
have an affection for NEE
Kitty would have laughed at any Othel
time, but now she only stared at him anc
passed out into the garden.
She went through the gate and wandered
Just little way down the lane again, feeling
that she would give almost anything to walk
straight on and out Of the weary world alto
gether.
"Kitly." well known voice said softly

my poor little girl and he drew her hand
through his arm. "Why, what was the mat

Nothing" she said, drawing herself up,
"only am going home
Something is the matter, now he eX.
claimed. "Why, KITTY, what is it, my little
darling?"
You have no right TO speal; to me'like
that she said, while the hopeless tears filed
her eyes and trickled down her cheeks,
"What would your cousin say? you, who
are engaged and going to be married"

arranged-though Caroline is gong to be
spliced"
"Yes, to you"
ooh, dear! no; it's to Fletcher"
"Why, ! saw you kiss her this afternoon,
and heard you say you was awfully fond of
her"
"Well, what then?" She'd been telling me
in confidence about fletcher, and getting me
to manage IT with my uncle, who had some
ridiculous notions IN his head, and | was
congratulating her and telling her what he'd
said, and / thought | deserved a cousinly
kiss for my pains
"Was that all 2" she said in amazement
"Yes, it was, you little goose'-for he
could not help seeing the state of the case
"aad you see I've been hanging about here
on the chance of seeing you. l wanted to
tell you how fond am of you, you little dar.
ling, and to ask you to be my wife"
And then he did to Kitty what he had
done to his cousin Caroline in the afternoon,
and. But never mind, the story is told,
and you can guess how pretty Kitty looked

quizes the mother as she goes home to exc
cute the doctors orders.
Now we submit whether 1t might not be
well to have the diagnosis of school girl's
ailments varied u little occasionally fiom
that above. Let some such questions AS these
be propeunded: Does your daughter go out
several evenings each week TO sOciables,
dances or parties? Does she often stay Out
till midnigh or later? Does she take stimu-
lating food and drink tea and coffee and at
unreasonable hours? Does she literally pa.
tronize the confcctioner? Does she not often
dress less warmly than she shouldy Does
she squeeze herself into tight dresses and
tighter corsets, TIL the vital organs are pack.
ed like passengers in an onnibus-till the
blood fails to find half Its channels, and the
lungs do not admit air enough to vtallze
even the little that still circulate! Does she
not read much of the silly trash found in
cheap novels, and in almost equally perni-
cious Sunday school books? Does not her
mind dwell too much on the other sex, think
ing more Of boys than Of books-mOre OF
love than of learning? If these questions be
answered in the affirmative, as most of them
would have to be, in some cases, If answered
truthfully. then let these additional ones be
asked, and with an carnestness that shall
startle: How, in the name Of common sense,
which every mother should have-in the
name of human nature which, at this deli.
cate period of girlhood, demands so careful
and constant watchfulness can you expect
your daughter to have good health while suf.
fered to indulge IN so frequent and SO ex.
haustng disslpations and excesses? Can
you be ignorant of the greater, the more terri
bic evils that too often and too surely follow
close upon these!
Quite likely such questions might fall less
kindly on the maternal ear-mlght receive
less gracious maternal response-might exalt
the questoner less highly IN the maternal es-
innate of his professional skill as well as of
his acute appreciativeness of the lovely and
the intellectual. Still, we think it possible
they might lead to quite as sure and radical
cures as questions whose beginning, middle
and end are about stairs and studies There
is room for grave doubt whether it IS alto
gether wise to take the young lady invalid
from school, where she is Obliged to make
some mental exerion and thus give her all
her time to devote to the very excuses which
have brought upon her the ills she would be

Tho Grain Trade,

The farmers and grain dealers Of the
Peninsula, will read with special interest,
the following: The London Mark Lane Ex-
press, in its review of the grain trade for
The past week, says: The tendency to i'm
provement noticed last week has assumed
the shape Of definite advance in prices,
and the caution with which buyers operated
lately has been succeeded by feeling Of
greater confidence. This improvement is not
confned to London, but is shared by all tn
large provincial and the majority of the
Continental markets. kilograms from
Odessa report a good inquiry, with conside-
rable shipments for Continental account.
Finer weather at the end of the week had
the elect Of quieting the nearer foreign
markets as we'll as those of London and
and Liverpool but we are inclined to thiuk
the bill is only temporary in view of the
probable shortness of stocks In France and
Germany. Our own country markets con-
tinue scantily supplied by farmers at from
two to four shillings per quarter higher. A
greatly reduced quantity of English wheat
apparently will be marketed during the
next month or so. Feeding corn shared
the revival of activity, and both barely and
maize have risen. Flour has partaken OF
the improvement, and both here and abroad
realizes higher prices.

We received from Mr.. Smythe, yesterday,
the following statement of facts about the
stealing of that sewing machine
went to nay tenants house, Harman
Rau, who was behind in his rent, not wish

Twenty-ffth. / said If send my son John
and Joseph Hogans for the machine will
you give It to them, and he said yes. They
went and rang the door bell, and his daugh-
ter came to the door, and went and told
him, and came and told them to come in.
Mr. Rau told them to take It and they
brought it home. Mrs. Rau came In, In the
afternoon and paid one months rent and
promised to pay the other on Saturday
which they did do, and then wanted me to
send the machine home to them to where
they had moved. l said l would deliver it
up to them here. But they would not take
it and they said they would make me take
1t home. / did not take 1t home, but they
were glad to come and take 1t home. The
young men are not to blame; they done all
according to my orders. made one grand
mistake-that did not get an officer to 20
out and seize on their goods, and then they
would have had the officer to deal with in
stead of me.
