The Future Newspaper.

A few hundred years, says writer
in the Portland Transcript, make fu.
ture beyond all comprehension; we
have no idea OF the possibilities. except
by contrasting with past and present.
A newspaper OF one hundred years ago
is curiosity of more value than thous-
and of-years-old pottery and brica-
brac. Whya Because it gives Il true
history of the time when published, re-
lates to facts that would be otherwise
unknown, touches facts beneath the his
torian's notice, yet of real interest to
the people of to-day.
Take one years file OF any metropol-
itan daily of 1884 one hundred years
from now, and you will have y history
of the world beyond comparison. No
historian would dare compete with the
simple new spaper bought anywhere for
2 or 3 cents, worth to future genera
tons sums not to be covered by money
in fact, beyond value. All this hascome
about in hundred years. Now add a
few hundred years to the progress OF
the newspaper, and what will be the
outcomes
/, Every town will have a paper OF
its own.
2. Type will be set by machinery
with the rapidity of electricity.
3, Every paper will contain a direc.
tory of every soul in town. giving full
name, age. description, weight. bust
ness; directly below these facts space
will be left, and daily the varied move
ments of individuals will be given; nc
matter how simple the fact. it will APP.
pear, and make diary every day, such
as many privately keep at present
4. A list of births. deaths, and mar,
riages will appear, including the whole
world.
5. The paper will be bulky. but moi
disagreeably so; table of content;
will readily put the reader in the RICH,
track. and book form of about size Of
Transcript will make an easily-handled
paper which will be sufficiently stiff &c
hold easily. No event will be too small
TO appear; all business, pleasure. sor
row, will be depicted in concise and ap
propriate form As a reference, tbs
paper OF the future will equal an ency
cloDadia of TODAY.

CHAPTER TX.

The site of the bridge WAS chosen just
where Lady Lilias had decided, and Lord
Audley was very pleased with IL. When
they reached Ulyerscroft Hall again, Vane
showed them his plans, and the sketch OF
the bridge which Sir Kaye had so warmly
approved. Father and daughter stood by
the library-table. Lady Lilias had taken
or her hat, and some Of the dead-gold
hair laid like veil over her shoulders
With careless grace she had thrown one
arm around her fathers neck, and stood
looking with him at the sketch,
DIT is q beautiful bridge, papa" she
said. WYou will call 1t Q foolish fancy OF
mine, but IL looks almost like chain OF
towers
The Earl laughed At the fancy; but II
was not very exaggerated one, eonsid.
eriug the lightness, elegance, and grace
Of the design. She looked at Vane with
wonder and admiration in her beautiful
eyes.
..Is this idea your own! How elegant
and simple it is, How beautifully you
have sketched it! You must be an artist
How clever you must be"
.Iou think so, Lady Lil,as, because you
are not accustomed to the workers OF the
world" he answered. "There is nothing
especially clever about it,"
scan you do better things" she asked

think Heaven has given me skill. l love
to battle with the difficulties Of my pro-
fession. A fierce tide, steep hill, rug
ged mountain, are all giants whom love
10 fight single-handed, to grapple and con-
quer."
He looked 30 earnest, so handsome, 80
proud, that she watched him with admira-
ton. In her own mind she thought this
man, who loved his work, who liked TO
grapple with difficulty and danger, who
played, as it were, with the great powers
of the earth and moved them at his will,
was worth a thousand Of the @white-hand-
ed glittering youth" whom she was accus-
toned TO meet. From that moment Ger.
tain respect tor him crept into her heart
She admired his bravery, his courage, his
truth. his devotion TO his work, and his
ehiyalrous simple notions.
Vane was soon quite at home. His I'M
affected noble character and beautiful
sensitive face won friends for him Every
one respected him. When he had been
there three days, the young Duke OF Walt
ham joined the party; but he was neither
liked nor admired one-half so much rs Nane

still the one blot on q fair and noble
character remained. lie was ashamed Of
his origin. lie dreaded lest it should ever
be known that he WA the son of poor ig-
norant farmer. lie knew it was hateful
weakness, and he loathed himself for IT,.
But he WAS powerless To combat with the
feeling, aud he was thankful that 1t could
never hc anown.
At dinner one evening, when Lord Aud.

open to its full extent, top and bottom. The
boxes were not gone half an hour when my
