was almost satisfied with his peeping, SO
proudly and lovingly did he take her
home.
Chow did you find me out, George?'
ooh, you are easy to find out, Emma.
Of course [ knew if you went out in a
carriage, that you got the carriage at
Morreps. But how do you come to know
this Frenchman?"
"You think all foreigners are French
men, George. He is an italian, and SO
is his beautiful wife. He came from
London to paint my Lord Bishop and
the cathedral, and the signora was so
much better here that he resolved to
spend the winter in Yorkshire, and try
make enough to take her home to Italy
in the spring. My lord asked me to
have my picture done, and papa paid for
it in order to surprise you. 1 think,
George dear, you had better not let papa
know you have spoiled his SURPRISE"
George felt more and more sorry and
Inundated as he looked in the pretty,
frank face, and thought how cheerfully,
after all, she had taken the forestallment
of her Christmas secret.

the signor plenty of money"
Gle is painting all of the principal la
dies in the city. The Bishop thinks very
highly of him. Indeed, have seen his
lordship there at nearly all my visits.
George let the subject drop now as
quickly as possible to Emma; but he
talked a good deal about it-and in no
very good temper-to his grandfather.
For once Mark had no excuse for his
suspicious. He was quite awed by the
fact that he dared to think wrong of in
terviews which the bishop had arranged
and honored with his presence.
He had lost faith in his own penetra-
ton regarding the sex, and George and
Emma were quietly at some pains to
convince him that good and true women
are the rule, and not the exception.
And though can not describe exactly
how it came about, know that the next
Christmas Mark was the gayest old
bachelor in Ripon, and opened the
festival ball at Georges house with Sig
nor Sarti's handsome sister-the very
same lady whom the bishop himself, very
soon afterward, made Mrs. Mark Ripon.

A French Incident.

A horrible affair was occupying the
attention of jury in the department Of
the Somme, France. An old peasant
named Roussel has daughter, Delphine,
whose mind about two years ago became
troubled in consequence of an unhappy
attachment. Roussel, through avarice
and fear of the doctors bill, made a
wooden cage in which he placed her, and
there the unfortunate creature remained
until July %, when she was liberated by
the gendarmes. When released the lu.
lucky Delphine was in pitiable state,
and although she has been carefully
tended ever since, her reason seems to
have vanished forever. Roussel has been
condemned to five years imprisonment
only, the jurors having found that there
were extenuating circumstances.

"THE LAST ROSE OF SUMNER
BY WILLIAM GIBSON,

On the romantic shore of Lake Lucerne,
Beneath my window some garden walks,
Where now the autumnal froste the foliage burn,
And hardy dahlias blacken on their stalks;
But many-leaved and fresh and fragrant, blows
One solitary hower-a perfect Rose.
This, full of crimson life as fit had
No thought of death, I've watched, day after day
W lille deep in SHOWS the Rig-KuIn was clad,
And deep the SHOWS in clefts of PLATE lay
Grim mount above the clouds whose sharp
drawn peaks
Have long presaged the storm-and now 1t breaks
Like ships at sea, st. Gothard's SUBMITS strain,
And toward Tells chapel all the stored scene
Is dashed with slanted streaks OF misty rain;
There's not spot of color or OF sheen
In the dull landscape save that lonely Rose
Leaden the sky and gray the very SHOWS!
With all of bushes and all fragrance rife,
Loves fragile banner to the gale unfurled
Bloom brayeIy on! Yea, live thy little life,
Rosel l would not pluck thee for the world.
'Twere sentim entail folly that would shed
Thy sentient leaves to strew yon sOdden bed.

These words in melody of perfumes wrought,

In gray-haired age my youth is fresh; bloom
Up to the ice and blackness of the tomb.
ssThou in flesh, and in my petals l.
Are shadows; but soul is thine and mine.

And that which makes the poets thought divine,
And love subtler revelation still,

GA few short days, or hours, an1 am gone.
But, lingering here, last of happy race,
Into my bosom all thou lookest on
gather up-but clothed in summers grace;
And shall hang forever in thy mind,
A mystic Rose, Immortality refined.
Yea, these my perfumes shed shall hit thy sense
With spiritual power when am dust
Perchance the last ROnS hence,
Of men shall be poet, and his trust,
The perfect flower of manhood, shall resign,
As the perfect Rose, to love divine"

"A Wise Legislator.

He is successful because he has the manly

tariff affects not only goods imported from

Both of these lectures are announced by the
papers to have been well delivered and well

applause Of those who heard them. II Is clear
that there Is direct antagonism between the

question, and that Blaine and other Eastern

accord with the Republican press Of the
country upon the caucus subject. During the
session of the Legislature the caucus" was
loudly denounced by the local papers re-
ferred to, and they have already opened a
preliminary cry against the ''iniquities" Of
the system anent the meeting of the consti-
tutional convention. These diatribes read for
all the world like the heavy leaders of the
Radical journals, also in denunciatiOn Of
Democratic caucuses. It may be observed,
however, that the Times and Pica1nnae pre-
tend TO think the caucus q very fine institu-
ton In Washington while they contend that
1t is an unqualified imposition and outrage in
New Orleans. 1t is safe to say that there
will not be found bakers dozen Of Demo-

abide by the decision of the CAUCUS upon
every distinct issue settled therein. That
dozen will represent the Influence" Of the
