Your plan is a good one Beatrice, and I
hope viii prove successful. know of no one
would sooner your brother would marry than
Edith, not for her personal attractions more
than her noble BIRTH
In the course of a few days Beatrice made
the proposed visit, and Lord Dashier was de-
TERED from his visits to the CITY several times
during her stay, as Sir Barton was SO proflise
with bus invitations for him to dine aud hunt
with him, Dashier was compelled to accent
some OF them. And, after Beatrice returned
with Edith for guest, he was kept almost con-
stantly at their beck. And, to the satisfaction
OF all concerned, it could be seen that Edith
was exertlng power over him which it would
be hard for him to cast off, 1t was not the
spontaneous, gushing love which the lowlv
Ihyra had inspired that he now felt for Edith
but the most intense admiration for her lovely
qualities, hlgh-bred manner, and beauty, of
person. Day by day he was becoming more de-
voted to her and a little less thoughtful of
Thyra-such is the fickleness of man. He
made an occasional visit to the city, passing a
little time with Ihyra and promptly paving her
bills, during Edith,s stay which. by oyer,per-
suasion on the part of Lady Dashier and her
daughter, had been protracted to month.
After. Edith left, his thoughts were oftener
turned to Thyra, and, in the course Of two or
three days, he went to the city again TO see her
He did not find her however she was home IL
her fathers on a visit, and he was told .by the
professor that she anticipated staying week
or two. He did not care to be seen going to
the cottage, but two or three times went to the
glen with the hope of meeting her there but
allied to find her.
As his visits to London had now apparently
ceased, and he had once or twice visited Edith
since her return home, Lady Dashier and her
daughters were happy in, the belief that he no
longer cared for Thyra !, but, if they could have
looked into his heart, they would have come TO
a different conclusion, as the impression she
had made there was indehble, while that made
| by Edith might soon become obiterated.

"SUCH AS THEY"


Give him lift, and help him up,

asked himself if he was doing right, in TINS
persisting in his attentions to Thyra. against
his mothers wishes And then he asked him
self another question: Would he be doing
right to marry one for whom he could never
entertain more than brotherly regard? He
knew Edith could never fill any other place in
his heart, while Thyra was the object of his
souls purest and warmest affection. Then
was lac not right IN thus following the die
tates of his hearts best and hottest emotions +?
He once and forever concluded he was and
that not even mothers displeasure should
turn him from his purpose. After he reached
the city he purchased some choice fruit for
Thyra, and then proceeded to her apartments.
He found her sitting up and appearing ouite
cheerful. She was dressed in a white. loose
wrapper, with blue ribbon at the throat.
and few white flowers in her hair. She was
still quite pale, but there was slight tinge on
her soft. round cheek and her large, dark eyes
shone with more than their usual luster.
''You are looking pretty well, my little love, -
said Lord Dashier, as he sat down beside her,
taking her small, white hand in his own.
Yes; and am feeling pretty well. l think
| will be as well as ever again in a week or
two. But where is Lady Dashier You thought
you would bring her with you when you came
again."
''She would not come, Thyra; but she said
If she could help you in any way, she would be
happy to do it."
q can think of no way she could help me as
much as to come to see me but suppose she
still scorns me 2" replied Thyra, inquiringly.
Not SO bad as that, dear, I hope. Could
she only see you I am sure she could not help
loving you. You must go to the Hall soon
with me, and then she will have to see you"
'.Neyer, unless she is willing to receive me. "
said Thyra, determinedly.
And what if she is not willing to welcome
you when | get ready to take YOU there for
good and all, which, if can bring it about.
will be at no distant day?" he said.
g / can never go there to live against her
wall. Think, dear, how miserable we would
all be-"
Lord Dashier had long feared that the mo-
ment would come when this declaration would
be made by the independent little miss he
loved so dearly, and had in his mind what re-
ply to make, and this was it:
1--WE love each other very dearly, Thvra. and.
for the sake of within on my mothers part,
which, on q close acquaintance with YOU. nv
dear, might be entirely overcome, you would
not consent to separation, which, on nv
part, at least, nothing on earth could atone for;
no, am sure you would not"
These words were uttered with so much so.
lemnity, Thyra was deeply impressed with theil
meaning. and she leaned her head on hel
lovers shoulder. and promised to do all in hel
power to win the respect and admiration OF
Lady Dashier.

- My dear mamma, you know we have been
wondering, of late, what could call Robert SO
often to London. NY maid tells me that the
servants are gessiping over him and a Little
girl, whose father lives on our estate Robert,
who she thinks pays her expenses, is deyotedly
attached to her, and goes to see her once in
two or three days."

matter, but can it be SO bad as this y said Lady
Dashier, her voice trembling with emotion and

Perhaps it is only false report, after I'll ;

No more was said between the two at this

him depart for the city; and surmised his err
rand, and beheld his indifference for society or
any of his former diversions they were con-
WINGED Of the truth of the reports.
g 1t will do no good to demonstrate with him,

to attract his attention in some other direc-
ton. How shall We do it, Beatrice ~ she asked
of her younger daughter.
You know, mamma, Edith Savers has in

with her of course. Robert VIII take me over
and come for me when l get through with my
visit, bringing Edith, too who l intend shall
stay with us as long as we can keep her. We

possible, and if he does not give into her bland

Rattlesaakes as Missionaries.

In 1859 there lived in the southern part
of Missouri i family by the name Of
Weaver-vcry hard characters-thc old
man, his wife and five grown boys. Du-
ring the spring John Weaver was bitten
by u rattlesliakc. Everything was rc-
sorted to for his relief, but all to no
avail. When they saw he must die
they sent for i'm old Baptist preacher to
pray for him. He prayed as follows:
"We thank: thee, Almighty God, for
thy watchtul care over us, and for thy
goodness and: tender mercy, and cspe-
cially do we thank thee for rattlesnakes.
Thou hast sent one to bite John Weaver.
We pray thee ito send one to bite Jim,
one to bite Henry, one to bite Sam, one
to bite Joe, and VIC pray thee to send
the biggest kihd of II rattlcsnake to bite
the old man, fer nothing but mttlesnakes
will ever bring the Weaver family to re-
pentance. There arc others in Missouri
just as bad as the Wcavers. We pray
thee to stir up Missouri, and if nothing
else will bring the people to repentance,
we pray thee to shower down more rat
tlesnakes.' Amen"

A STORY OF: BORROWERS.

There lived near any fathers family, In
I, quiet village in Chic, two families who
who were chroEic borrowers, and
the posts of the :ncighbofbood. One
borrowed by day aid the other by night.
The former would Jake anything, from
pinch of soda to q bed quilt, but made
specially Of flour. The pthcr family
made no requests bat wood: coal orjointS
Of stove pipe and garle'! implements
followed in rapid succession. The day
borrower became a:steady .lmin on the
-four barrel. My :mother; being of a
sympathetic natur', could not refuse,
and would doubtless yet have been sup
plying the samc family with -four if
she had not had ons bad girl among her
family of children. who was alone at
home one day whca the led who always
came for the -four entered, and in his
old words, said:
"Mam wants couple bf spoonsiul of
flour to make batclt bread"
This same bad gixl measured exactly
two spoousful of nonr into his Immense
wooden bowl. The iIonr looked right
lonely, but it didntfccl hs lonely as that
bad girl did when the mother of the lad
came in and threatened "to skin her.
She changed her ilo;lr market, but the
total dcpravity of tAat girl was clearly
established.
During one night swc roach trees were
entirely stripped Of ;bcautiflll ripe fruit.
Early next morning Dus night borrower
called. My mother soll Of our loss, and
of course, we had net Ethe faintcst s,,s-
picion as to who had taken them, and
her neighbor cxprcsstll sympathy and
disgust that anybody would do so, when
this same bad girl hasl to have her say,
and remarked that itdidn't matter very
much, as most of :he peaches were
plugged, and that whoever swallowed
them wouldn't get n: chance to digest
them, for they were MI full Of cpicac-
oil of which was strictly false, and that
bad girls mother was: Mortified Mt such
q falscilood.
Two hours later, Is some ono was
passing through the sslley in tho rear of
the borrowers hose, h9 discovered about
u bushel of cooked peaches. 1t was
afterwards learned that the family spent
many hours in tho nssht pccling and
canning peaches, and: as many hours
nearly getting them eut of the cans.
So, owing to that b'al girl, peaches,
sugar and labor were ':n entire loss, but
We we're ever after rids of Our night as
well as day borrowes'. SO much for
having bad girl i'll the family.
