When the families of reigning mon

is always great deal Of felicitation on
the subject, because Of the effect such
marriages are supposed to have in the
way Of binding nations together in the
bonds Of peace. II would be well II It
were so; but those Of England seem to
be very disappointing. There are the
Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh for
example. The former a son OF the
British Queen and the latter daughter
Of the Russian Emperor have had but

Cyril. Not being of . romantic tenn

thought to the matter, merely looking
upon it as essential, that at some distant
time Cyril should form some suitable
alliance, so that the name need not die
out; but there need be no haste. and 4
fortune must be among the lady's ad-
vantages. What, then, was his sur
prise and dismay, when Cyril came to
him one morning and asked his consent
70 marriage with poor young girl,
the orphan niece Of a small farmer. who
lived SEINE three miles from Atherton
manor. A stormy scene ensued. They
parted in anger. Cyril mounted his
favorite " Madcap'' and rode At once to
Deepdale farm. Hiida saw him coming
and met him Mt the door. The rash
young lover had not waited for his
fathers consent to WOO her, and they
had been betrothed for several weeks.
