CHAPTER XXXVI.
TOO FOND A HUSBAND.


 The drunken lawyer very nearly fell as he tried to step off the counting room piazza, and almost made up his mind it would be more desirable to lie down in some soft spot and go to sleep, than take the long walk he had set himself. But the cool breeze seemed to refresh him 1narvelously, and in another moment he despised the green hollow under the elm that had looked so inviting, and hurried up toward Philip Breton's house. took pretty smart man to get ahead of John Giddings drunk or sober. The young mill owner wasn't nearly as frightened as usual Something was in the wind. He ought to have watched him closer lately, but Giddings concluded he was in good time yet with Breton at one end of the village, his wife at the other, and himself, the acute lawyer, between them.
 The lawyer had walked as far as Silas Ellingsworth's house, when he caught sight of pair of horses on fast trot, drawing a close coupe. Elegant pairs and chariots of that description were not so common in Bretonville as to make it doubtful who might own this one, and besides it must have been an occasion of peculiar necessity that called for such unaristocratic haste. Giddings was perfectly delighted with his own sagacity.
 He knew human nature pretty we'll. When a man gets another in an unpleasant situa- tion, he must count on the unfortunate struggling to escape If it happens to be a woman, he need not be so watchful- women are all fatalists. But it takes pretty smart man to get ahead of John Giddings.

Discovery in China Painting.

The present manufacture of porcelain is comparatively recent ,'!ustry, and is con- stantly reaching fresh results. The under glaze treatment of china, for example, was not known here twenty-five years ago; it was secret guarded most carefully, and confined to few European and eastern fac tories and workers. It was girl who dis covered it-Miss McLaughlin-and now it has become the property of all expert china decorators. Her success was not alone im- portant to china painting as an art; it was specially valuable in raising the estimate put upon the work of her own sex, and has per- haps done more than aught else to stimulate to good results the work of women in this branch of industrial art.-Jenny June in American Magazine.

A DAY IN WINTER.

How could one live through day like this, Sweetl were one not with his books or in love, I am both: am happy; with that dear bliss Of lovers who have no faith to prove, Of readers who have no task for needing, But read from the sheer, sweet love of reading. The sun is dead, and the clouds hang low, And the winds are weeping dirge. What thought My life is full; in my heart know Iris only distance keepeth the kiss On thy lips from mine, On my lips from thine; No task to learn, no faith to, prove Oh, how could one live through day like this, Sweet! were one not with ais books or in lover

with him on his recent visit to this city a
ballot box constructed for cheating purposes

sill such boxes in their possession.
