It was part of the duty of the dow
ager Duchess to open the billets ad-
dressed to the young ladies confded to
her charge. What was her astonish-
ment at reading this epistle!
& "Horror!" cried She "a child of high
family to violate her duty in seeking a
painter at midnight"
She rang and sent for the guilty one,
but her rage redoubled when Lncy,
with her customary gentleness, denied
all knowledge of the cause of her re-
proaches. The Duchess, who expected
to witness in her great confusion or a
candid ayowal, would listen to nothing.
The alarm was given in the palace and
it was decided that Lucy, disgraced,
should be sent home to her father.
Her prayers were Of no avail; single
night of respite was alone accorded her,
and she was compelled to sleep in the
apartment of the Duchess to avoid fur
ther scandal.
At midnight, Lucy rose as before; the
Duchess was aroused from her unquiet
sleep, and called all the ladies to wit
ness the confirmation of her suspicious.
With lighted fambeaux, the Duchess,
attended by numerous suite, followed
Lucy, who traversed again the long hall
and numerous passages and arrived at
the door of the monastery. Her culpa-
bility could no longer be doubted, but
they followed her even to the painting
room, where she was already seated be-
fore the easel. The noise around her
and the brilliancy Of the lights awoke
her in fright. She was a somnambu-
list.
Thus unconsciously had she served
as model to the artist, who fully re-
paid in love what she had given him in
renown. He obtained the prize and
was loaded down at the court with hon
ors and riches.
A few days afterward there was cele-
brated at st. Paul's the union of Van
Dyck and Lucy, the daughter of the
noble Count Ruthven de CORY.

LONDON.
Statistics of the Great Metropolis.


From the computations of authorities,
it appears that London with all its
suburbs) covers within the Is miles
radius of Charing Cross nearly 700
square miles. It numbers within these
boundaries over 100000 inhabitants.
It contains more country-born persons
than the counties of Devon and Glou-
cester combined, or 81 per cent. of it's en-
tire population. Every four minutes
birth takes place in the metropolis,
and every six minutes death. Within
the circle already named there are added
to the population 205 persons every
day, and $4,000 annually. London has
1000 miles of streets, and on an aver
age % miles of new streets are opened
and 5000 new houses built, every year.
One thousand vessels and nine thous-
and sailors are in its ports every day.
Its crime is also in proportion to it's
extent Seventy-three Thousand per-
sons are annually taken into custody by
the poice, and more than one-third of all
the crime in the country is committed
within it's borders. Thirty eight thous-
and persons are annually committed
for drunkenness by its magistrates.
The metropolis comprises considerably
upward of 100000 foreigners from
every quarter of the globe It con-
tains moro Roman Catholics than Rome
itself, more Jews than the whole Of
Palestine, more Irish than Belfast,
more Scotchmen than Aberdeen, and
more Welshmen than Cardiff. It's beer
shops and gin palaces are so numerous
that their frontage, if placed side by
side, would stretch from Charing Cross
to Chichester, a distance of 81 miles.
If all the dwellings in London could
thus have their frontages placed side by
side, they would extend beyond the
city of York. London has sufficient
paupers to occupy every house in
Brighton. The society which advo-
Gates the cessation of Sunday labor
will be astonished%o learn that so miles
of shops are open every Sunday. With
regard to churches and chapels, the
Bishop of London, examined before
committee of the House of Lords in
the year 1910, said: If you proceed
mile OR two eastward of st Paul's, you
will find yourself in the midst of
population the most wretched and desti-
tute of mankind, consisting of artifcers,
laborers, beggars and thieves, to the
amount of 100000 or 100000 souls.
Throughout this entire quarter there is
not more than one church for every
10000 inhabitants; and in two districts
there is but one church for As 900 souls"
In 1889, Lord John Russell stated, in
Parliament, that London, with 81
parishes and a population of 1,17O,O
had church accommodation for only 1O1,-
900. These and other statistics furnished
led to the" Metropolis Churches Fund"
established in 1886, which has been
followed by the Bishop of London's
Fund. 1t is still computed, however,
that at least 1000 new churches and
chapels are required in the metropolis.

one of them is now at that institution.
The new Minister is in his 47th year.
In his youth he was connected for a
short time with the United States Lee
cation in Russia. He studied at the
University of Berlin in 1886, after
his graduation at Yale. He has been a
New York State Senator, and was sent
by President Grant to San Domingo, to
study the question of annexation, in
1871. He has been q prominent advo-
cate of civil-service reform, and has
written much on that subject.

her departure he thought he saw the
Madonna returning to her native skies.
Enchanted by, his execution and excite
ment, he fell asleep in his arm chair.
On awakening. his first thought was to
examine, the canvas. Transported with
JOY at his success, he thanked on his
knees the angel or woman who had SO
favored him. In vain he endeayored
again to impart the ideaity which ex-
listed in his imagination He had SO

and OF Lucy that he determined to dis
