CHAPTER VI.

A LITTLE DINNER AT CLIFTON LODGE.
Some days after this we went to
dine at Clifton Lodge. My going fell
out in this way.
Miss Hawke called one morning to
ask the Seymours to dine en- famiNe on
such-and-such an evening. / had
taken my uncle's little mare for can
ter, and when | returned and heard
Miss Hawke had called l could have
pulled a handful of hair out of my
head with vexation. 1t was a week
since l he'd set my eyes on her. In
vain had sneaked out when nobody
was looking, and about the roads
which / thought she was bound to
pass along whether riding or driving
or walking. To no purpose, / say.
And then all on a sudden she calls
and l miss her!
However, smothered my feelings
and asked in collected voice the rea-
son of her visit. 1t was Sophie to
whom l put this question, and we were
alone.
"She called to ask us to dinner"
"Oh, indeed" said !, frightening up.
whats the date ?"
Sophie gave it.
"Did she bring any news?" said I.
anything fresh going forward at Cliff
ton Lodge ?"
"No; she brought no news" says
Sophie.
Nothing about-young Morecombe?
she'd tell you, wouldn't she, if he had
proposed?"
"She'd tell me, believe, if she had
accepted him." she answered; "but l
don't think she'd accept him-at least,
hope she won't"
plucked at my bit of a mustache-
there was not enough of it to desailor-
ize my countenance-and said, "Mr.
Hawke is very polite to invite me.
When l met him the other day /
couldn't help fancying that he eyed
me as if I might bea youth that would
admire his daughter; and l suppose
admiration for her in any other man
than Mr.. Morecombe would be worse
than poison to the old gentleman"
"To be quite candid, jack" says
Sophie, with an air of reluctance in
her gentle manner, Florence did not
include you'll mean she did not men,
tion your name. She asked mamma
and papa and Amelia and me-"
"Ohw said l.
"But it doesn't in the least signify"
continued she. "It was a pure over
sight on her part. OF course you'll
go?"
"Go?" cried 1. go to Jericho, you
mean? What, go where l am not
asked? Why, I'd rather hang myself
up by the neck until was dead, 9TH
erwise what mercy should Iexpect for
my soul ?"

Upon my word l was SO angry, so
disappointed, that l was ungallant
enough to wish that my affectionate
cousin had been man, merely to easy
my mind by telling her 1 would see
hereto. Observing my temper, and
vexation-and / believe this did more
to open her kind eyes to the state of
my heart than had / sat down and in
dited volumes about it-she dropped
the subject, and SO did 1, so far as
words went; but l very well remem-
Der carrying it into a summer arbor
where armed with large pipe, l
turned it over, kicked it, ground it un-
der heel. and, as actually endeav-
ored to make myself believe, buried
the mutilated thing along with the
imbecile sentiment that had kept me
feverish and foolish ever since the
hour at which had first entered my
uncle's house.
Ofcourse / was unreasonable. What
right had to expect to be included in
the invitation to dine? who was that
she should trouble herself even to re-
member that such a person existed
when l was out of sight? And yet
felt that it would have done me good
to have expended myself in an Irish
riot for the sake and pleasure OF
knocking anybodE over the head.
Was her nature perfidious? Was all
her talk about Mr.. Morecombe being
a fool and the like, fudge? 1t was;
feared it was, and ground my heel
into the soil of the summer arbor.
Well, in this posture of mind was l
sitting, smoking and writhing, when
heard Sophie calling "Jack Jack p
"Hallow I grumbled.
"Where are you, Jack ?" she cried.
"Here," said | and l went out OF
the arbor that she might see me.
She came running along, red with
heat, and radiant with pleasure, and
fourished little square of gray pa
per. saw the gilt edge of it sparkle,
and observed that it bore the creases
of cocked-hat note.
Read that, you foolish nope !" says
she ; and she put the letter into my
hand. 1t was as fragrant as jasmine
it was adorned with a crest in blue
and gold, and the crest embodied a
goose with its bill cooked up; the pa
per was ribbed and thick, delightful to
feel-a truly lovable thing to handle.
The handwriting was clear and decis-
i've it might have passed for mans.
Thus ran this missiye:
DEAREST SOPHIE When arrived
home after calling upon you it flashed
upon me that / had omitted to ask
your cousin, Mr.. Jack Seymour, next
Thursday evening. | am sure l can
not account for this foolish and most
tlsi1,tentiondl omission, unless l put it
to my habit of thinking of your family
5.consisting of four only. l am sorry to

! MEDICAL Use OF EdGs.-For burns

ing than the white of an egg, which

softer az a varnIsh for a burn than col
lodion, and being always on hand. can
be applied Immediately. IL is also
more cooling than the sweet oil and
cotton, which was formerly supposed
to be the surest application to allay the
smarting pain. 1t is the contact with
the air which gives the extreme dis
comfort experienced from ordinary acct
deuts of tins kind, and anything which

egg is also considered n Of the best
remedies for d~ysentery. Beaten up
lightly, with ca without sugar, and
swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its
emo'lient qualities to lessen the iDAam-
nation OF the stomach and intestines,
and by forming a transient coating for
these organs enables nature to assume
her healthy sway over the diseased
body. Two, or, at the most, three eggs
per DAY would be all that would be
required in ordinary cases, and since
the egg is not merely a medicine, but
food as we'll, the lighter tie diet other
wise, and the quieter the patient is
kept, the more certain and rapid is
their recovery.

be more conveniently cried about, were
rolled up and called rOlltnlea, hence

goats and asses were the next materials
used. and so nicely were they prepared

them with the greatest accuracy. Some
