Sir Joshua REYNOLDS Boyhood.

When Joshua was but a mere child,- :
his father was displeased to find him
devoted to drawing; on sketch which
the boys had made, his father wrote:
''This is drawn by Joshua in school,
out of pure idleness' The child found
the 'Jesuit's Treatise on Perspective, :"
and studied it with such intelligence
that before he was eight years old he
made a sketch of the school and its
cloister which was SO accurate that his
astonished father exclaimed. How
this justities the author of the 'Perspec-
tive when he says that, by observing
the laws laid down in his book, man
may do wonders; for this is wonderfully
When about twelve years old, Joshua,
while in church, made a sketch upon
his thumb-nail of the Rev. Thomas
Smart. From this sketch, he painted
his first picture in oils; his canvas was
piece OF an old sail, his colors were
common ship-paint, and he did his
work in "a boathouse on Cremyll Beach.
In 1740 when Joshua was seven
teen years old, his father tried to carry
out his plan to apprentice him to
druggist, but the boy was greatly op-
posed to this. He said Il would prefer to
be an apotheacry rather than an ordinary
painter; but if could be bound to an
eminent master, should choose that.
Fortunately Lord Edgecumbe and other
friends advised the boys father in his
favor, and so Joshua was finally sent to
London and bound to Thomas Hudson,
then the best portrait painter in Eng
land. After two years, Hudson sud
denly dismissed the youth from his
studio, though his agreement was for
four years; the master said that Joshua
neglected his orders, but others believed
Hudson to be jealous of his pupil

A Modern Wonder.

-'Say, John! What, do you thinkP
I've found something that beats the
Dutch. 1t is the wonder of wonders,
the most blessed thing that ever I set
eyes on. The very angel of perfection
and without wings. Iwouldn't
take one million dollars for it. The
very devil and his angels would stand
aghast at the sight of it. 1t is the
loveliest flower of mortality 1 ever be-
beheld-a perfect gem. 1t is the one
great fortune of my life. With it
can live contented and enjoy a happy
old age" !.

A SEPTEMBER VIOLET.

~ days the peaks wore hoods Of cloud,
The slopes were yelled in chilly rain;
We said: 1t is the Summers shroud,
And with the brooks We moaned aloud
Will sunshine never come again!
At last the west wind brought us one
Serene, warm, cloudless, crystal day,
As though September, havirg blown -
A blast OF tempest, now had thrown
A gauntlet to the favored May. :;
Backward to Spring our fancies Hew,
And, careless of the course of Time,
The bloomy days began anew.
Then, as happy dream comes true,
Or as poet finds his rhyme
Half wondered at, half believed
found thee, friendliest of the flowers!
Then Summers joys came back, green-leav
ed,
And its doomed dead, awhile reprieved,
First learned how truly they were ours.
Dear violet! Did the Autumn bring
Thee vernal dreams, till thou, like me,
Didst climb to thy imagnings
Or was it that the thoughtful Spring
Did come again, in search OF thee!

Five other years had come and gone,
and despair had taken possession Of
Hugh Beyerlie's mind.
During this sad and bitter time there
had come to the little fishing village
below the hall, n dangerous and design
ing man. one Karl IlIntzman, a foreign
sailor, who had revived amongst the
ignorant se1taring inhabitants prac-
tice that had disgraced the district
before the advent of the BeyerlieS at
Manly Hail.
Under Karl ITintzman's influence
the people had become wreckers. They
exhibited false lights, Turing vessels on
the rocks, or tempting them to run
aground on the oning. where they
plundered the wreck and robbed the
dead bodies. During two years they
had reaped a bloody harvest in this
way and almost simultaneously with
its terrible revival, Manly Hall had
begun to resume some Of its oiden
splendors. Hugh Beverlie was fire.
quently in company with the foreign
sailor, and on stormy nights strange
lights were seen in the hall windows.
Luke Briggs had degenerated into a
half imbecile old man, fun of sigls,
and ON rs, and tales of ghosts and
biood-rrd signals. What lights his
5 persuuous mind has hung out IN
the darkness of the Beyerlie fortunes,
the reader has already seen. They
were not all false lights, though they

"But it is quite n natural color Luke,
and nothing can be more beautiful than
a sunset like this"
Beautiful! Look at yon scudding

will be tempest; ay, and look yonder,
dost thou see that creeping figure by
the Black Rock? There will be ship
wreck too, my dear young lady. There
is always shipwreck when that foreign
sailor is out i the storm and the dark
ness"
The girl crept close to the side oil
the old man and in another moment a
peal of thunder rolled along the coast
the clouds grew black, and the sough-
ing of that wind became loud and sfTiil
1t was like n wall of anguish.

The sunshine is brighter the darker

Hugh Bcverlie received 4 mortal hurt.
He lived long enough TO confess his
sins. and set on foot government
inquiry into the horrible practice OF
wrecking. Nearly all the treasures of
Tom Beverlies ship were recovered;
when he was washed ashore he carried
round his waist a belt of diamonds;
and Christmas Eve came back again
to Manly Hall with all its ancient
plories. Tom Bevcrlie took the place
of his father in the double oaken seat,
beside the fair-haired girl, his true and

ITS AUTHENTICITY QUESTIONED.
Mr.. Young declined to answer until the
authenticity of the letter had been estab-
lished. The copy, he said, was part of
| the brief of the Bell company certified to
by two newspapers and one of the Bell
lawyers. He did not regard that as evil
dence in this case.
Mr.. Ranney, however, persisted in his
! question, and Mr.. Young replied en-
! pbatically that the Pan Electric Company
was not mentioned in the interview. ~
| can show that the statement is q mistake
if you want me to-" he said carelessly,
"but 1 suppose you don't" He was
willing to swear most distinctly and
positively that the Pan Electric was not
mentioned in the interview.

ness meant by stating in bis direct exam
