Il must have my valentine, you know"
$50, of course, darling, I'll go over
after supper, and take this unlueky
thing to Dora, and bring back the
other. Besides it will be real charity

No hand squeezing now, but kiss

Il really did begin to think you

And was positive you cared for

Another exchange of kisses. After

your dear mother her valentine.

laughing ana clapping her hands.
''Yes. He knew what a prejudice
Mrs Marchant had against valentines,
and he thought he would have joke
with her. And, now, what do you

HER ANSWER.

All day long she held my question
In her heart:
Stunned my eyes that craved an answer,
Moved apart;
Touched my han! in good night greeting,
Roster grew:
Should leave omorrow-early:
Then adieu!
Bent her head in farewell courteous,
Onward passed.;
While a cold hand gupped my heart strings
Held them fast.
Still waited: still l listened;
All my soul
Tremble'i in The eyes that watched her,
As she stole
Up the stair with measured footsteps,
Bnt she turned.
Where 4 lamp ia brazen bracket
Brightly burned;
Showed me all the glinting ripples
OF her hair,
Yelled her eyes in violet shadows
Glimmered where
Curved her mouth in soft compliance.
As she bent
Toward me from the dusky railing,
Where she leant.
All, my love! One white hand
wandeIs
To her hair,
Slowly lifts the rose that nestles
Softly there;
Breaihes she in its heart my answer,
Shyly sweet;
And Loye's message mutely flutters
TIE my feet.
-Belgraria.

CHAPTER IL.

Very pretty, indeed, looked Lila
Marchant, in her velvet and furs, her
beautiful golden hair surmounted by a
coquettish little black velvet hat with
a red plume, as she gracefully skinned
over the surface of ,he large pond with
Lieutenant Tregennis, and several 9th
cavaliers in attendance. As for poor
Frank, finding all his attempts at ex-
planation repulsed, he was. with the
design of piquing Lila, devoting him
self to a group of pretty girls, who
seemed by no means displeased with
hte attentions of DR.. Marchant's hand
some assistant
Lieutenant Tregennis having, accor
ding TO previous arrangement, called
at the doctors house to accompany
Frank and Lila to the pond had found
his rival vanished, and Lila in frame
of mind to encourage his own atten-
tions.
s'What firt she is, Thought Frank,
mortified and jealous, land what fop
that fellow Tregennis is How l should
Ike to punch his.head."
And then he redoubled his attentions
to the three pretty girls under his
charge, until at least two of the trio
began to fatter themselves that he
meant something serious.
The scene was very lively and iu-
terestiDg one. 1t being the fashion
now days for ladies to skate, a large
portion of the fair sex were INDUCING
in that pas:ime, whilst others too tim.
orous to venture on the ice themselves,
were collected on the banks of the
great pond, watching with interest the
graceful evolutions OF their bolder sis
| ters.
The black mass of civilians who
crowded the ground on either side o.
the pond, were interpreted with bill
liant patches of scarlet, the coats of tn.
soldiers from the garrison. The officer
OF course, were 10 plain clothes OF
'mufti, as they term it. But ther,
were hundreds of private soldiers pres

barracks for the morning, and who's
picturesque uniforms formed no sligh

Reliable Evidence.

Mr.. II. X. STEyESs.-Dear Sir: will most
cheerfully add my testimony TO the great num-
Der you have already received in favor of your
great and good medicine, VEGETISE, for i do
not think enough can be said in its praise, for L
was troubled over 20 years with that dreadful
disease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing
spells that it would seem as though / never
could breath any more, and yEGETINE has
cured me; and do feel to thank God all the
time that there is SO good medicine as NEGE-
TINE, and also think it one of the best medi-
cines for coughs and weak, sinking feelings at
the stomach. and advise everybody to take the
NEGETINE, for | can assure them it is one OF
the best medicines that ever was.

furnished the theory with substantial though
not very broad basis. BY ingenious methods,
which cannot even be indicated here, he has
ascertained with exactncss the proportion OF heat
given out By the umbra and penumbra OF
sun spots as compared with the rest of the solar
surface. Then, having the proportion OF sun
spot area i'm different years. he is able to state
in absolute figures how much the sun spots OF
each period may have diminished the suns
heat The calculations are somewhat Intricate.
but they plainly prove that the radiation could
not have been diminished by sun spots more
than One-tenth of degree Centigrade. Prof
Langley does not at all attack the generally ac-
cepted belief that sun spots signify intenser
action in the sun, and that therefore periods
of most numerous sun spots should DE the
hottest. But his facts are evidently contri-
button to the opposite view, 30 far as they 90.
In a very lively and complimentary discussion
of Prof Langley's essay during meeting OF
the Royal Astronomical Society, in which Sir
George B. Airy took prominent part, one OF
the speakers suggested that Prof. Langley's
explanation might throw light on the cause or
last Summers unusual heat. Sir George got
the laugh on the unfortunate speaker by
stating that the essay was WriCteh DeioIe lhe poo
weather set in. But the dilemma remains, that
one of the hottest, driest seasons ever known
was a period of almost total freedom from sun
spots; while according TO the sun-spot theory
such Summer should have been cold and
stormy. Prof Langley only mends matters by
OO.1 C. Perhaps however, the essayist who
will win the Dutch gold medal may be able to
trace IN sun spots not only the cause of last
Summers heat, but also of this Winters regu-
lar Wepkly storm.
