dressed, stepped from the train, and be-
gan leisurely to ascend the graveled path
which led up the gentle ACTIVITY to the
house.
Tom recognized her, and called to his
wife,
"Mary, Cousin Kate is coming up the
patti" ~
One glance for poor Dick was suffi-
cient, and, as he recognized his acquain-
tance of the previous night, he would
have given all he possessed to have been
Safely in the train, which had stopped
for water at the station. .
Such emergencies quicken human
thought, and hundred modes of escape
suggested themselves.
Finally he stammered-
"Think I'll have to go by this train,
Tom. Dispatch. Forgot all about il"
And he blushed to the roots of his
hair.
Tom was puzzled, as we'll as amused,
but he would not listen to Dick, whose
only hope now was that Miss Malin
would not recognize him.
His feeling was one of unmitigated
meannness as he watched her as she
came up the walk with inimitable grace,
now pausing to examine a flower, then
turning to view the sunset.
He endeavored to compose himself,
and, at the critical moment, underwent
the >tortures of an introduction with all
the 'fortitude he could summon.
At breakfast next morning she related
her adventure with the burglar, and
when she came to description Of his
person Dick devoutly wished for any
thing to call him from the table.
But the climax was reached when the
provoking Tom remarked:
"That is a good description of you,
Dick; perhaps you are the burglar"
He bore it all in spirit nearly ap-
proximating to his conception of martyr
dom, and indeed, so sensitive was he to
ridicule that rather than reveal his iden-
tity he would have suffered all its palms.
Then came charming little fishing par
ties and boat rides and delightful walks
until Mary thought it was almost time
to fulfill the promise contained in Toms
note.
But we need not descend to all the de-
tails of a frst-class courtship, for it came
to that.
1t is wisely ordered that success in that
avocation shall depend not ON any pre-
vious special education.
One beautiful evening when the moon
hung high in the heavens and shed
halo of glory on the trees, just
donning their September tints, Dick
yielded to the fascinatinn of the scene,
confessed his guilt and surrendered him
self.
Kate, having found her burglar "a
dear good fellow" as punishment fell
in love with him, and Dicks romance
was complete.

Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem. J:
The New York Tribune speaks of "the
epidemic of Democratic dishonesty which
prevails in the South" but does not
specify any cases, neglecting also to be-
wall the continual acts of Reputation in
the Northern States and cities and towns,
which exhibit most desperate decline
of public morality. The repudiation by
the people Of the Republican State of
Minnesota of large amount OF State
bonds was an act of exceptionally des-
perate wickedness, as the State has long
been prosperous, and is perfectly able to
pay her obligations; but the Tribune of
course applauds that dastardly business
as a shrewd trick Not Northern paper
comes to this Office without recitals of
embezzlements all over that section and
statements with reference to repudiating
towns, villages and cities. The inference
is not hard to draw.

A Ducl on HOrAeba elk,

The Earl of Glencairn challenged Lieu
tenant General Sir George Munro for
grossly opprobrious language used by him
tow ard the Highland troops, as being ''no
other than a pack of thieves and rob-
bers." They met in field near Dornoch,
"by gray daylight. They were both well
mounted on horseback; each of them were
to have one pistol, after discharging of
which they were to fight with broad
swords. The pistols were fired without
doing hurt.
"They then engaged with their
swords, and after few passes
my Lord had the good fortune
to give Sir George sore stroke on
his bride hand whereupon Sir George
scried ou, that he>was not able 10 COM
mand his horse; 'and / hope says he,

SAYS my Lord, 4 will let you know that

horseback Whereupon they both alight-
ed, and at the first bout my Lord gave
him sore stroke on the brow, about an
inch above his eyes, which bled SO much
that he could not see.
ellis Lordship was going to thrust
him through the body; but John White,
his man, pushed up his sword and said
You have enough of him, my Lord.
His Lordship, in passion, gave John q
stroke over the shoulders, and then took

The Art ssSir Oracles.0
The Spectator.

The number of writers on art seem to
increase every year, and on no subject
are writers more dogmatic, "intense" and
uncompromising in the expression of
their opinion. There are few art critics
whose style does not recall, II am Sir
Oracle, and when 1 open my lips let no
dog bark" The certainty in the express
sion of opinions is the more to be won
dered at when we see how much restraint,
temperance, even diffidence, is used by
those who do the work, when they dis
cuss the work of fellow-artists.
Great men who have toiled through
the labor that has made them great have,
perhaps, staggered too often under the
many difficulties of their art to be so
light-heartedly confident in theorizing,
either on other artists work or on their
own; and, being greatly gifted, their ar
tist eye feeds generously on natures
beauties, so that their opinions are soft
ened toward diverse styles and manners,
which, though not their own, translate
more slrikingly sometimes one truth,
sometimes another. Still, there are prin-
ciples which lie deep-rooted at the core
of the whole subject of art which inspire
them to eloquence, principles which
have made all highly cultured
societies include the right de-
velopment of art in the scheme of all
wholesome civilization, but which prin-
ciples, in the turmoil and hurry of mod
ern life, run chance, too often, of be-
ing forgotten. To state them briefly,
they are reverence for and delight in
beauty, earnestness in study, and SINGER
ity toward those emotions which arise in
artistic natures Ito quote from Sir F.
Leighton's admirable discourse to the
Royal Academy students), "in the pres
ence of the phenomena of life and ma
ture." All, we think, will agree that it
is the adherence to those principles which
has been the secret of the power of all
greatness in art; and should they cease
to be the mainsprings from which the
inventive faculty produces its work, art
must sink to the level of flippant and
not very wholesome pleasures, or solemn
and not at all amusing farces.

INature1

There is no doubt that in the outset
the manufacturers, as body, set their
face against the size in stuff. Twenty
years ago these fabrics had an evil repu-
tation; they were made by tenth-rate
manufacturers and sold by tenth-rate
agents But the heat of competition has
changed all this, The immense quanti-
ties of these goods which found market
in India and China-indeed they were
mainly made for exportation-compelled
the great majority of Lancashire manu-
facturers to respond to the demand for
these combinations for China clay and
starch with modicum of cotton, de-
mand which is very largely fostered by
the numberless middlemen who come be-
tween the manufacturer and the con-
sumer.
The usual result has followed; the
very fact that numbers are engaged in it
has given the trade an air of respectable
ity. Qu@ fuerunt vita, mores sunt.
The other day Mr.. Consul Gardner re-
ported from Cheefoo that bad name
attaches to Manches er goods among the
Chinese, consequent on attempts ito sell
glue as cloth" and it is highly amusing
to read how the Manchester Chamber Of
Commerce waxed indignant, and how
they requested Lord Salisbury ITO pre-
vent the publication of similar state
ments in the futurep 1t is rather insig-
nificant, too, that whenever book on the
subject of cotton-sizing is put forth, it
should be thought necessary by the
authors to dwell upon the "moral as
poets of the question in entire oblivious-
ness of the salutary caution that to ex-
cuse is too frequently to accuse. Some
of the arguments in extenuation would
be amusing if they were not grotesque,
as When we read that "no one, we sup
pose, will deny that for coffin-linings,
&C., heavily-sized, but cheaper cloth,
is not just as good as purer but more
expensive article. If this be granted,
the existence of such material is GER
certainly boon." How very grateful
tile undertaken ought to feel for such q
boonl

| Immediately, as if seized with fit of mad

howl this last horrible verse:

the only answer to this terrible question. -.

the Spaniard TO US ma cruel voice. 81 hase,

me to have AgiyenI HIM d lesson. Let, HIM

future"
He went away rapidly after these words.
We were utterly dumbfounded. We opened
the door and found the student in horrible
commissions. The paper, signed with the
name of Francois Violot, was on the table.
Scarcely had the student recovered when he
demanded to know who was the Infamous
sorcerer who had subjected him to this horri-
BILE proclamation he wished to kill him. He
searched for him all though the inn, and dart
ed off like mailman in pursuit of him. And
