woods and meadow land and tunnels of
echoing rock-days when sleeping and wax
ing seemed oddly jumbled togetherI And
the one pervading idea that filed his BRAIN
was Florence, rObed in pale blue silk, with
her golden hair dressed as in an old picture
he had once seen of the beautiful Saxon
princess, ROwena. And all the time his
heart was as heavy as lead within him.
Florence, whom he had so loved and
trusted; Florence, who had grown into his
heart as the clinglng ivy makes its way into
the crevices of the granite rock; Florence,
whose pure innocence and singleness of
nature he had worshiped What would life
be worth 10 him if she should prove untrue?
Not that he feared any such misery; no, he
knew Florence too well for that; but plum
with the bloom brushed off was no plum for
him, he told himself, with a hot, fevered
anger throbbing through his brain; of what
value were the smiles whose sweetness was
lavished literally on all alike?
And, as he rode along with folded arms
and travelling cap drawn sullenly over his
eyes, Gilbert Amydon felt like one who was
already bereaved.
The house was dark as he assembled the
steps and opened the door with his latch
key.
Gone" he SAID to himself with q bitter
smile. "Gonel Well, knew it. What else
could have expected? She is no longer my
sweet, home loving Florence, but-Rowena,
the Saxon princessi"
With these thoughts in his mind he strobe
up the passage and opened the drawing
room door.
To his surprise it was neither dark nor de-
serted. A cheerful fire burned in the CRATE
the shaded lamp threw its circle of light
on the red-covered center table-and there,
all alone, sat Florence, her cheek resting on
her hand, her soft eyes fixed intently on
something in her lap-his photograph
1t was the prettiest little tableau in the
world. Amydon stood for a second, scarcely
willing to disturb it,
''Florencer'
"Oh, Gilbert Gilbert!''
And with low, sobbing cry for JOY she
sprang to his breast.
so you haven't gone to the fancy ball,
after al" said he, as he sat down beside her,
passing his hand fondly over her golden
hair.
ITO the fancy ball? I never thought of
going, Gilbert. | knew you didn't like balls;
and, besides where would be the pleasure of
going, with you away?''
They wrote TO me that you were going as
Rowena, the Saxon princess, " said Amydon,
half ashamed for the words he uttered.
"Oh, know" SAID Florence, laughing.
Fanny Myrtle did wantme to go. She was
to be Rebecca, the Jewess' you know, and
Major Darrock, her cousin, was to be Ivan
hoe; and she thought it would be nice
party. She even ordered costume for me,
but l told her all along 1 shouldn't go; so
Clara Myrtle is wearing it tonight"
While you are sitting here all alone, and
studying my photograph" he Intercepted,
fondly.
Tim afraid / was crying a little" con-
fessed Florence, ''for was so lonely, and
wanted to see you so much"
My own darling little wifel''
That was the last OF Gilbert Amydon's
brief madness OF jealousy. Drusilla's spite
and Uncle Crawley's quiet malice had all
fallen short of their mark

last over her husbands heart

A vigorous plant IN spring gives sure
promise of the best results in autumn
With equal certainty it may be foreseen
what boys and girls will make the strongest
marks upon the age and command the
highest respect and esteem of the COM

they foreshadow their approaching character
and positions. When young people despise
parental restraint, hate school rooms, scorn

poses of manly life, but instead are seen

prophet to predict that these are the ones
from whose ranks the paupers, beggars and
tenants OF our prisons are to come, and this
too, at no distant day. The fact is as ineyi.
table as any law of nature. Stones were not
made to swim in the water. Ignorance and
vicious habits are millstones to anvbodv's
neck.
On the contrary, when you see a sober
minded, steady LAD or lass, who respects the
authority of father and mother, whose seat
IN the school room is regularly occupied,
who loves good book or paper, and prefers

Enoch Emery is editor of the Peoria (Ill. !
Transcript. A few months ago he married a
MISS Mary Whitestead, who at the time was
superintendent of the schools in that county.
In the course of time the election season
called around, and the lady aspired for re-
nomination before the republican county
convention. Her husband was a delegate
and the following account of how
he presented her to the convention
IS given in an Illinois paper:
When Enoch Emery arose in the
Peoria county convention to nominate the
candldate Tor county superintendent of
schools, there came sudden lull in the pro-
eeedlngs. Every one become interested. and
the delegates leaned forward in breathless
attention One could have heard a horse
cough IN that awful stiffness. The emotion
extended to the good Enoch himself. He
arose, diffidently toying with his spec
tacles, first cleaning them with a
new .caDbric handkerchief. and placing
them on his forehead, said: "i put
