literary executor. Among them ] found
two manuscripts, of which the following
is one. The other is simply a record OF
events in which Mr.. Quatermain was
not personally concerned Zulu novel,
the story Of which was told to him by
the hero many years after the tragedy
had occurred. But with this we have
nothing to do at present.
| have often thought Mr.. Quater-
mains manuscript begins that | would
set down ON paper the events connected
with my marriage and the loss of my
most dear wife. Many years have now
passed since that event, and to some ex-
tent time has softened the old grief.
though Heaven knows it is still keen
enough. On two or three occasions i
have even begun the record. Once l
gave it up because the writing of it de-
pressed me beyond bearing, once be-
cause / was suddenly called away upon
Journey, and the third time because q
Kafiir boy found my manuscript con-
venient for lighting the kitchen fire.
But now that ] am at leisure here in
England / Will make fourth attempt.
If succeed, the story may serve to in
terest some one in after years when /
am dead and gone. 1t is wild tale
enough, and suggests some curious re-
Elections.
/ am tho son Of missionary. My
father was originally curate in charge of
a small parish in Oxfordshire. He had
already been some years married to my
dear mother when he went there, and he
had four children, of whom l was the
youngest. / remember family the place
where we lived. 1t was an ancient long
gray house, facing the road. There was
a very large trce of some sort in the gar
den. 1t was hollow, and we children
used to play about inside of it and knock
knots Of wood from the rough bark. We all
slept in a kind of attic, and my mother
always came up and kissed US when we
were in bed. used to wake up and see
her bending over me, a candle in her
hand. There was q curious kind of pole
projecting from the wall over my bed.
Once | was dreadfully frightened be-
cause my eldest brother made me hang
to it by my hands. This is all remem-
Der about our old home. 1t has been
pulled down long ago, or | would jour
ney there to see it.
A little further down the road was a
large house with big iron gates to it, and
on the top Of the gate pillars set two
stone lions, which were so hideous that
/ was afraid of them. One could see the
house by peeping through the bars of
the gates. 1t was a gloomy-looking
place, with tall yew hedge around IT;
but in the summertime some flowers
grew round the sun-dial in the grass
plat This house was called the Hall,
and Squire Carson lived there. One
Christmas--it must have been the Christ
mas before my father emigrated, or /
should not remember tive children
went to a Christmas tree at the Hall.
There was great party there, and foot
men wearing red waistcoats stood at tho
door. In tho dining-room, which was
paneled with black oak, was the Christ
mas tree. Squire Carson stood in front
Of it. He was tall, dark man, very
quiet in his manners, and he wore
bunch of seals on his waistcoat. We
used to think him old, but as a matter
Of fact he was then not more than forty.
He had been, as l afterward learned,

the Society," set to work to carry out
plan which ! had long cherished, but
been unable to execute because it would
have involved separation from my
father. Put shortly, it was to under
take a trading journey Of exploration
right through the countries now known
as the Free State and the Transvaal,
and as much further north as / could
go. 1t was an adventurous scheme, for
though the emigrant Beers had begun
to occupy positions in these territories,
they were still, to all PRACTICAL pur-
poses, unexplorcd. But was now

a TRIBUTE.

When her eye with mischief dances
And her laugh is ringing clear,
Then my loves bright mlrth enhances
Charms my heart holds very dear.
When richer Joy is shining
In the clear depths of her eyes,
Hope and trust and peace combining,
Then my love higher prize.
When her gentle heart is yearning
For another's voc or wrong,
And her eyes To Heaven upturning,
Then my love Is yet more strong.
But IT'S when her lite's sweet story,
Bursting far of on her sight,
Lights her face with coming glory,
That in her most delight.
Mirth and joy, and pity tender,
Others, too, may rightly claim;
But to her fond angels render
Homage in prophetic fame.
