CHAPTER TX.

1t was most unfortunate that Sylvia and
George never found themselves together
again at Oaklands. The trees that had
heard his vows and protestations two
short years ago still stood there, and, as
their leaves rustled in the wind, seemed
to laugh at his Inconsistency.
As to Annie, she had never been so hap
py.. Her child's little feet trod the same
turf on which she had played herself
She looked around her in serene content,
and thanked heaven in her heart that it
had placed her in so fair world, and
showered so many blessings upon her.
Sylvia was in very different frame of
mind. She declared that the child's noise
distracted her, and appealed to Mr.. Gray
to know If children were not always bores.
He laughingly told her that he had never
heard Of but one who was not. Sylvia
was caressed and battered by the old man
to her hearts content. The carriages,
that had been shut up for so many months
that the spiders had woven their webs
over the silk cushions, were now brought
out and placed at her disposal. She drove
out two or three times a day.
Everyone in the house followed the gay
example; the gardener took better care Of
his flowers, because Mrs. Florence wished
to wear them in her hair, suppers and
dinners were arranged, where Annie, OF
course, presided, but Sylvia was the guild
ing spirit.
Occasionally the child would he-ailiaeg,
and Annie would be obliged to excuse her.
SELF, at the last moment, and allow Sylvia
TO go alone 20 the station to meet the gem
tIemen on their return from town in the
afternoon.
Then Sylvia, with the air of fine lady,
would sent herself in the beautiful carr
rage, and order the coachinan to drive
like the wind. She leant back, wrapped
in soft laces, with her eyes half closed,
and only aroused from her luxurious
dreams by hearing the voices OF some
poorly-clad people out for holiday. She
looked at them with SILVER Of disgust,
for they recalled too vividly her miserable
past, with its notifications and miseries.
When the carriage reached the station,
Sylvia heard with ill-disguised pleasure
the murmur which greeted her appear
ance.
ut is young Mrs. Speed she heard in
awhisper from more than one person
The mistake was scarcely surprising to
anyone who saw the three drive away;
the pretty, gay little woman looked like
the wife Of the elegant man at her sidej
while Florence opposite, middle-aged and
grave, seemed to belong TO a different
world.
While Qaklands was thus transformed
by the caprices OF girl, old Gray looked
on quietly. He was Ct an extremely in
qnisitive nature. Believing that "knowl-
edge is power" he spared no pains to get
at d secret whenever, and wherever he
suspected one; he had always been more
or less of q spy. The goings and doings
Of his servants interested him immensely ;
not Q basket OF vegetables came into his
kitchen without a preliminary examina-
tion from himself. He took the greatest
pleasure in finding fault. and bringing an
offender to justice. All this gave him &C.

evening when he repeated all the MORN

but they were not 70 calm as OF yore. A
brighter color glowed on Dora's fair face,
and Mrs. DO Lacy held her big scissors
with trembling hands. The birds on the
table were more brilliant than usual, as II
Hope had touched them with her life Civ

Tho poor fellow had certainly received
1 fearful blow. The humiliation Of d re-

court make an order in regard to the per-
sons in prison, who were afflicted with
smallpox. He said that the magistrates
in the county have been dismissing cases
which had been made out for the reason
that they did not desire to send people to
the prison. He thought that all prisoners
who have been afflicted should bs placed
in separate building, which should be
erected by the poor directors. The court
stated that it was matter for the county
commissioners who had been spoken to
about the matter but had taken no action.

LOWER END NEWS.

From Our 0uarryvIlie Correspondent.
1t seems strange coincidence that about
two years ago we recorded the death of
four of the oldest citizens Of the GLOVER
end, all who lived within 4 short distance
of each other, and now we have to record
the death of four more, all living within q
radius of three miles. Mrs. Dennis Carr,
a much respected lady of some 70 years
q leading member of St. Catharine's .
Catholic church Mrs. A. Kaufman, aged
% years ; John Mowrer, aged S3, and
Jacob Barr, better known as Brandy
Jake " who was we'll nigh 80, aud one of
the last of that family Of Bars who lived
on and owned nearly all that section
around Quarryvillc. All these old folks
lived close to tho village of Qnarryville,
and died within ten days.
In the southern part of this county the
army worm is getting in considerable
amount of work on the wheat, and the
damage is more than most farmers are
aware of. James Collins, esq of COlerain,
who is one of tho leading farmers of this
section, says that in his section the worms
made their appearance about one week
ago. and up to this time they have destroy
ed at least ton per cent. of the wheat. They
eat it off just below the head. He also
says that large fiOcks of blackbi can be
seen in the fields in hunt of the worm, and
that caro- should be taken of this bird, as
1t is the best friend the farmer has. Jacob
Keen, another leading farmer, estimates
his damage at more than ten per cent.
The lower part OF tho county was again
visited by a very heavy rain yesterday at
ternoon, aud the roads that have been
fixed up arc again ready for ro
pairs, and tho washes in the fields must
be made over In the fools of Wednes
day, in Fulton township, there were
eleven bridges swept away tho ROADS in
many sections are in a terrible condition,
and at this season it is almost impossible
