Young Mr.. Brown one day invited a
friend in Boston to go with him to the eoun-

"We can go tomorrow and spend our va
cation in my native place." said he. "My
old aunt keeps the house nv father left me,
and if you re agreed I'll just telegraph the
dear old lady to look out for us. Well have
some fine fishing"
Mr.. Peters accepted the invitation, and
Mr.. Brown rushed away to telegraph to his
aunt. When Peters went TO his boarding
house that night he told his landlady that
he was going with Brown to-his native
place.
''What place is it?" she asked.
why, I don't know, declared" laughed
Peters. "I never thought to ask"
A messenger boy soon after brought a
note from Mr.. Brown. He wished Mr..
Peters to meet him at the Eastern station
next morning at 10 o'clock. Business would
prevent his seeing Peters until they met at
the station, ready for the journey.
Mr. Peters went to the Eastern station a
few minutes before the appointed hour. Mr..
Brown met him.
"Come, hurryP' be cried. ''Our train
starts in three minutes. This is the car.
Get in, / have our tickets"
Mr.. Peters got into the car, and had
pleasant journey of two hours. That night
he wrote this letter to his friend White in
Boston:

place. There was no signboard on the station.

memorial of the immortal philanthropist
William Wilberforce. Sixty blind children
here receive education and instruction in
useful handicrafts. Quadrangular of form,
and of architecture in which the Jacobean
predominates, it is warningly suggestive of
coughs, colds, and rheumatisms, which,
strange to say, are not there in unusual
number. Royal and noble coats of arms,
which task all the pedantry of heralds to
explain, adorn the principal entrances and
some of the rooms.
The United States are graciously repre-

ROMANCE AND NOVEL.
The Difference Between the Two CInsses
of Imaginative Works.

The Difference Between the Two Clnsses
of Imaginative Works.
New Orleans Picayune.l
There is a clear distinction between those
works of the Imagination known respect
lively as the romance and the novel. The
romance owes its name to the fact that it
was composed by the trouveres or trouba-
dours in Romaic dialects. 1t was originally
poetic in form and is still poetic in SUBJ
stance. The modern novel is development
of the novella or nouvelle of the italian,
Spanish and French literatures of the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and may
be traced back to the fabliaux of the old
Provencal poets. The romance deals with
great characters and extraordinary events.
The novel proper is confined to a lower
plane, and is strained in its action by con-
siderations of probability. These definitions
are more general than precise; but they will
serve, perhaps, to indicate plainly enough,
though roughly, the differences we have in
view. In point os fact, many works of fic-
ton partake in part of the nature of the
romance and in part of that of the novel.
There is no reason why a romance should
not be, in q certain sense, realistic. We
suppose that most readers would class
Robinson Crusoe" as romance; but we
know of no work in which the imagination
is at once more free and more sober. It is
not story of common life; but its whole
movement is suggested and defended by
probability. Crusoe is never placed beyond
our comprehension or our sympathy. He is
always natural and always human. In the
Arabian Nights" we find genuinely human
men and women, and we recognize the uni
versal motives of humanity in their conduct;
but the machinery employed is largely
magical and supernatural.

SYNOPSIS or PRECEDING CHAPTERS.

The story opens with the death of the first
born Of Egypt. The Egyptians, frenzled by the
great calamity that has overtaken them. descend
upon the Hebrew quarter with intent to slay
all of that race in their midst, to whom they
attribute their troubles. One man Is found and
stoned to DEATH the other houses being de-
serted by their occupants. Hornecht, Captain
of Pharaoh's bowmen passed by the ruins OF
the Hebrew village, and in rescuing some cats,
held sacred by the Egyptians, discovers the un-
conscious form of Ephraim, . Hebrew youth,
who was the bearer of a message from Miriam
to his uncle Joshua, a Captain in Pharaoh's
army and warm friend Of Hornecht The
latter has widowed daughter, Kasana, who
was compelled by her father to marry an Egypt.
ian while loving Joshua. Joshua had just re-
turned from long campaign, and knew little
of what had transpired among his people. He
was satisfied with his position, which was one Of
honor. He has determined within himself to
stay with the Egyptians. when Ephraim deliv-
ers his message from Miriam, the prophecies
calling upon Joshua to lead his people out Of
Egypt.

lieve, and act upon the belief, that if their
aforetime partners have deserted them and
married again in defiance of the law, they,
themselves are freed from the chafng bonds.
There are also many who think that the
willful absence of the sharer of their bed
and board is equivalent to divorce. This
is a mistake. Desertion for two years or
more is sufficient grounds for divorce, but
a decree must be obtained before another
marriage is consummated.
The questions of age and previous marital
conditions are the two hard spots. The
other queries relate to birthplace and are OF
comparatively little importance. II the
groom goes alone for the license he must be
able to answer all the questions on behalf Of
his bride. Many young men do not know
the date and place of the young lady's birth,
and that generally results in postpone
ment of the wedding. 1t is on record that
one applicant did not know his brides sur
name 81 always call her Mamie" he said.
He knew more when he came back next
day. 1t is not an uncommon thing for ap-
plicants to be unable to give the date OF
