THE SIGHTS OF LONDON.

- The succession of novelties is endless 1t
is like looking at ten thousand most fascina-
ting show windows; One sees so much of 80
varied q character that the mind fails to grasp
it, and the legs and eyes give out before the
task is one.third over. Whatla task it was to
60 over the Centennial and attempt to see it
as it should be looked at; and yet here are
dozen Centennials challenging observation,
and q complete representation Of its special
kind Of exhibition. If London wants to be
instructed there Is ample provision for it, and
the Londoner should not be uneducated if
museums and free public exhibitions Of all
sorts can accomplish it., It is idle to suppose
that this great city can be seen in q week, or
in year-seen as it should be. There are
gray.headed men who have passed all their
lives in London, who are still ignorant Of
large portions of it, and, in fact never were
in some parts of the city. / know one who
has never been to the Tower, and another
who has never been through the Thames Tun-
mel. What can you do with such people?
They are as great curiosities as any London
has in her wonderful museums, and would be
as remarkable being as Philadelphian
who had never seen Independence Hall.
. One great sight Of London, in the heseason,
is to 60 to Hyde Park, ona fine afternoon,
about FIVE 10 clock, and see the carriages and
equestrians on "Rotten Row." There are two
roads, one for carriage riding, and the other
devoted exclusively to horseback riding.
No hired vehicle is allowed to enter Hyde
Park; and here, at the height Of the season,
may beseen5 Everybody, who is anybody, lin

Rachel Ray, with her usual reserve, had
refused to. yield to Lucy's solicitations to
take part in the demonstration made in
honor of the ministers arrival. She attended
the Sunday service, as she regularly did,
however, and went away after hearing that
memorable first sermon with new and thrill
ing emotions working at her heart And
seeing her on that occasion, and on several
subsequent Sundays, seated alone in her Gus
tomary places in far-of' corner, and recog'
nising her as one of the congregation who
had not yet presented herself to his acquain-
tanceship, Mr. Wade grew interested in her,
and making inquiries, found out concerning
her all that anybody else could tell.
AS soon as he learned her name and her

and 1 believe he means to have the matter
attended to-
"And good thing it'll be-" said Mrs. Can
ming. "The old Westinghouse needs repairs,
if anything does but Mr.. Towzleham and
Others as has the management of the money,
never spends it unless it can't be helped"
This little dialogue gave Rachel chance
to recover her composure, and when the min
ister turned to her again with some trifing
remark, she was able to answer him with as
much self possession as usual.
81 may come again, may I not?" he asked,
as he shook hands on bidding her goodbye.
"Of course" she answered simply, rather
wondering that he should think it necessary
to put the question to her. He kept think
ing over his visit all the way home. He had
not yet found any one in Drowsieville who
interested him as much as Rachel did, and
he had quite penetration enough to discover
her true position, notwithstanding her lowly
occupation and surroundings.
"Kitty," he said to his sister, on entering
his own house. "I've found somebody l

. had two manageable daughters, "that the
minister and Miss Kate should see so much in
that pale.faced down-hearted-looking young
woman to attract them. Any one would
suppose she was the liveliest and prettiest girl
around, from the fuss they make over her"
"Maybe she wouldn't 60 to the Parsonage
quite as often as she does, if the minister hap
pened to be a married man." said another
rather spiteful mamma. "Anyhow, it's queer
to see how she has let them bring her out,
when nobody else ever succeeded in doing it
BEFORE"
"For my part" remarked third, II
shouldn't think the Parsonage folks would
care to take so much notice Of a stranger
that nobody can find out anything about

them as can give an account Of themselves
and their belongings"
Lucy Melton, of whom Miss Wade had
grown fond, was admitted into the little coterie
into which Rachel had been drawn by her
new friends. She was not jealous at perceiv-
ing their efforts more successful than her
own had been, but was unsel6sh enough to
be heartily pleased at the result. To her,
too, Rachel responded now more cordially
than ever before Her nature seemed to ex-
pand, and her reserve and coldness to melt
away, in the genial atmosphere thus gathered
about her.
A change for the better occurred also,
before long, in her worldly condition. A

girl who required constant supervision, con-

Face to Face.

Wesley w. Bishop had q meeting with Mrs.
Kate NJ. Cobb in the Jail the other day. wes-
ley has been absorbed by strong desire TO
meet her for several weeks past, as he was
strongly impressed with the belief that 'if he
could see and talk with her" she would be
overcome by her feelings, and Ackno wledge the
truth of his statements. This wish had been
tostered by his pastor, the Rev. Hugh Mont
gomery of Norwich. Accordingly, on last Fri
day afternoon, Mr.. s. S. Thresher, counsel
for Mrs. Cobb, Jailsr Bsckwith, and the
Rev. Hugh Montgomery took seats in the
jailer's little sitting room, and awaited
the meeting with intense anxiety. Mrs.
Cobb was then sant for, and in q moment
her stately form, robed 10 black, gided
into the room. She was calm, bat her cold,
immobile face showed traces of her interest ia
the coming meeting. Bishop, pallid, gsuat
and shambing, cane next He was evidently
excited aud nervous, and his watery, coorless
eyes W .ndered away from Kate the moment he
sat down. He bowed distantly to her as he
crossed the threshold, but Kate showed no sign
of recognition. There was moment of intense
stllluess.
Then the Rev. Hugh Montgomery knelt on
the floor and prayed. There was another
period Of silence, and then Bishop was called
upon to speak his ''little piece" His ex-
slow in responding to the invitation. He arose.
and looking everywhere except at his chief
listener, and carrying bis hands like sancers in
front of him, said. Kate. you know that the
statement L made in relation TO the death of
Charlie Cobb is correct. Why do you deny
it?"
ST know that it is not correct" replied Kate
Indignantly, surveying Bishop with q disdain-
full look which he avoided.
"Do you mean to say that all my story
about Cobb is then, incorrect?" Bish-
GO began again.
"Yes, do,' replied Kate, with the same
determined aad indignant voice; that it is hot
at all correct"
Another pause followed, during which
Bishops active tongue seemed to fail him for
the first time in its history. After a moment,
he took mp some individual parts of the story
which he told 10 his confession, all of which
Mrs. Cobb said were out and out lies. This
closed the meeting. Kate remained calm aud
undisturbed and did not recognizable bow with
which Wesley left the room.
| She seemed bored with the interview, and sat
| silently looking down on the snow-covered
/ house-tops of the city and the ics-bound river
! after Bishop left the apartment. This was the
/ first meeting between the two since their ar
rest last June at which word had PASSED be-
/ tween them. In conversation with the Rsv.
Mr.. Montgomery he was asked for the full
( particulars of the meeting. bus he refused to
! say word on the subject, asserting that he
was bsund by an inviosble oath TO reveal
! nothing. He intimsted that be was inclined
to believe Kate rather than Bishop.
