myself. II has attracted much attention, nat
urally, as it is within the sacred pale of Bea-
con HILL and treats somewhat of ritualism.
1t is not difficult to identify st. Polycarp
with the church of the Advent, and Peter
Rockfort might be one of the two fathers
there, although in all probability it was the
head rector who stood for the portrait.
There is touch of sensationalism in the
book, and in that it differs from any that pre-
ceded it, but it is very interesting and, al
though the charge of unnaturalness has been
made against it, the young people of the book
are as natural as possible, even if some Of
their elders are n triAe exaggerated. II is a
book to read, and assure you, you will not
skip line of it when you begin, for it fasci-
mates and exasperates one in about the same
degree, and at the end everybody wonders
who is Mrs Beauchamps Brown"

Gdstzimmer here and Speizezinmer there.
The central point of the establishment was
the great oven, which answered at once for
purposes of cooking the food and warming
the rooms. All improvements in the place
the old man intended to make with his own
hands at his workbench, which occupied one
side Of the livingroom.
As we sat there in that rude room talking
with the old Russian, putting away quietly at
pipe of the peace-making Indian weed, we
seemed to have entered quite into the circle
of his domestic life. In one corner of the
room sat the old Hdusftdu combing her
scanty locks. The eldest daughter was very
busy with some household work, while the
little grandchild played on the floor beside
the workbench. In the middle of the room
was the dinner table presently three or four
girls came in from their work. and we were
cordially asked to sit down with them to their
Tesperbrod of black bread, melons, and cof-

Dollys lovely eyes opened to their widest
extent. "a check - she exclaimed, and with
trembling fingers tore open the second enyel-
ope, which was also addressed to her but in
different, more elegant hand and sure
enough there was a check-a check for a
thousand dollars, payable to the order Of Miss
Dorothy Waldo. And on r. slip Of paper
which had kept it company were these words
I'm payment for a slice-a very large slice
of bread and butter And that's all the
young girl ever knew about it.
For one moment she stood dazed with 10y
and astonshment. The next she thought Of
Dan. Prehaps he had not started yet How
could she get to him through the deep snow
Sleighing- bells again. Farmer Beers coming
back without the wood. She ran out into the
lane. "Oh, do take me with you :" she cried,
to the great surprise of the honest old fellow
Il must see Dan-Mr. Howell l mean
must see him as soon as possible"
Jump right in, my dear" said the old
man, 'and I'll have you at the stone cottage
in jify."
Away they went, the gray mare making
excellent time--for her and as they neared
the house, Dolly caught sight Of Dan Just leav-
ing it.
Dan Dan :" she called, her clear young
voice ringing on the cold air and madly
waved her crimson shawl.
Dan turned, saw the bright flag and her
sweet face below it, and came bounding over
the snow in time to receive her in his arms
as she jumped from the sled.
'You couldI tho, if you guessed for
ever" she said, half crying and half laugh
ing-'you couldn't guess what brought me
here this morning
Whatever it was, Heaven bless it thous-
and times :" said her lover.

Yes now, | think of it, it is. But it can't

Very possible indeed" answered Dolly,

'Mr. Daniel Howelrs" only reply was to
fold her ip so close an embrace that, being
the tiniest of maidens, she almost disappear

the pretty blushing face all dimpled with
smiles, was again raised to his own.
No, she has not interrupted Dolly
She knows nothing about it, But it's all

The DARWIN JERK. "A new method of
saluting ladies on the street has lately been
adopted by the noblest swell gentlemen of
tender years. 1t is done in one time and four
motions. The hat by a right hand grasp, is
lifted from the head, brought forward on a
line with the nose aud then suddenly lowered
to the pit of stomach then, as suddenly, the
hat is returned TO its place, following the
same angular route. The head, at the same
time, must be bobbed forward about three
inches, and Immediately sprung back to its

as 'the Darwin jerk" because hand-organ

know it by the flowers;
They're wreathed on every bough aud branch,
Or falling down in showers.
The air is in a mist, / think
And scarce knows which to be-
Whether all fragrance, clinging close,
Or bird song, wild and free,
And countless wedding jewels shine,
And golden gifts Of grace;
l never such wealth Of sun
In any shady place.
1t seemed heard the huttering robes
OF maidens clad in white,
The clAsping Of thousand hands
In tenderest delight;
While whispers ran among the boughs
OF promises and praise;
And playful, loving messages
Sped through the leAf-lit ways.
Then were there swAyings to and fro;
Tho weeds a-tiptoe rose;
Aud sang the breeze q sudden song
That sank to sudden close;
And just beyond the wreathed Aisles
That end against the blue,
The raiment Of the wedding choir
And priest came shining through
And though saw no wedding guest,
Nor groom, nor gentle bride,
know that holy things were asked,
And holy love replied.
