A Stone HOuse.

A local correspondent of the Fall Riv-
er Mass News writes as follows: We
suppose it is known to but few that there
is in the extreme northwestern part of
Bristol County, in the town of Eaton,
phenomenon of nature known as the
Crock House Cave" or "Lovers' Re-
treat" but such is the fact. The whole
house, complete on three sides, is formed
by only three large rocks. The size of
this room is about eleven feet square. Its
evenly cut sides, wholly by natures
hand, are pleasing to the eye, but the
most striking feature of all is the back
rock, which forms the roof, by its over
hanging front, not unlike an od-fash-
ioned chaise top. Our better half was
with us on this visit, and in passing
round the outside of the house, saw a
string hanging from the top of the over
hanging rock which forms the roof, she
gave it gentle pull, and 10 and behold
Mr.. Tree-toad held the other end of the
string in his mouth, and allowed himself
to be drawn several feet before he let 60.
During the time as he passed over the
moss with which the rock is partially
covered, he changed his colors, a la cham
eleon, giving us on small scale beau
tiful exhibition. This rock house is sit
uated near the old muster-feld. and the
locality is known as "Dailey's Hill" and
is we'll worthy of visit.

CHAPTER XIX.
RETRIBUTIoN.

After breakfast Euphemia proposed
walking down to Mrs. Cells cottage, and
and little Mabel was only too glad to be
her companion. Euphemia had a secret
hope that the woman might be dead, or
dying, by this time; and, under all the
circumstances, it is not surprising that
she should desire such thing in her
heart, however unwilling she might be
to utter it aloud. She left Mabel outside,
gathering wild flowers, whilst she went
in. One glance into the room showed
her that Fate had not befriended her here
more then it had elsewhere.
Margaret's eyes were the first to see her
as she entered, and the burning light of
fever was gone from them. They were
only dim now, as from weakness and past
pain.
"And ! ana betterp she exclaimed, in
In . feeblee, sneering voice, as Euphemia

III. c. Lodge in International Review.]
"The Consti tuition" says DR.. Won
Hoist, page 72, "is not the faultless mas
terpiece which Americans, for the most
part, esteem it to be-" This is brief
reiteration of some elaborate opinions in
the first volume, and seems to show
serious misconception of the true merits
of the Constitution and of the feeling OF
Americans in regard to it. 1t is state
ment which reveals with fresh vividness
the gulf that divides the English race
from the nations of Europe in all matters
of practical government. Not one of the
men who set their hands to the Consti-
tuition was satisfied with the whole of it,
and no one ever supposed it to
be ideally perfect. If it had been,
it would not have lasted a month,
but would have been speedily consigned
to the limbo of perfect constitutions
such as are devised by Frenchmen and
Spaniards. The Constitution was the
creature of circumstances; it was the
best that could then he made, and was,
as nearly as possible, an exact representa-
tion of what everybody wished, al
though it satisfied nobody entirely. 1t
was wise, judicious, very loose in many
respects, and full of compromises. 1t
was the genuine and legitimate work of
the race which produced it. 1t could be
indefinitely supplemented by unwritten
law, so dear to the hearts of English
people, who then tried their first expert
ment with written constitution. In one
word, it solved problem, wasa practical
success, and has performed the work for
which it was devised. 1t is on this ac'
count that Americans venerate the Con
stitution, and ESTEEM it faultless mas
terpiece," and not because they think it
an ideally perfect plan, such as comes
fresh f ON the head of the last speculator
on government. The only test of Con-
stitution is success. The unwritten Con-
stitution of England and the written one
of the United States have succeeded
where all others have failed, and they are,
therefore, great achievements. They
demonstrate the political sagacity of their
authors, and the people who live under
them would be false to their best in
stincts and noblest traditions if they did
not reverence them as masterpieces Of
human wisdom. 1t will be an evil day
for the cause of good government wien

The Romance of Princess Pillar.
Paris letter.

The newspapers have published ro-
mantle story to the effect that Princess
Pillar, the sister of the King of Spain, the
beautiful girl who died so suddenly few
days since, perished literally of broken
heart because she had fallen madly in
love with Prince Rudolph Of Austria
when he was visiting in Spain, and be-
cause she foresaw that she was destined
never to wed him. The poor Princess
was informed that she could not marry
at all until her royal brother had taken a
second wife and was the father of an heir
to the Spanish throne; and that, should
that wished-for event occur, she still
could not count on marrying the Aus
trian Grown Prince. Whereupon poor
Pillar turned her back YEARLY on this too
conventional life.
