certain without them" conceded Mark,
reluctantly. "Neither would you. One
shrub is very like another"
"But there are the blossoms"
"Blossoms?"
Now that noodle of Mark had never
observed that the arbutus has such
thing as a blossom. He was not a gar
dener, and the only time he had ever noted
the shrub in question at all had been in
the waning December dusk, when the
wealth of crimson fruit had caught his
eye. The hanging blossoms, which, as
every one knows, or ouSht to know, come
out at the same time as the berries ripen,
had been entirely overlooked by him.
In few moments the veil had fallen
from his eyes; he saw it all; the mistake
into which ignorance had led him; the
pit fall into which diffidence had en-
trapped him.
or course, Edith-his Edith that should
have been-had worn a spray of green,
with white bells pendent therefrom, on
the fateful evening when he had fancied
her lost TO him forever.
One glance had doomed him in his own
eyes. lie had not seen his arbutus berries
wreathed in the dark locks for which he
had designed them, and he had sat there
after with dumb lips and a dead weight at
his heart-and then, then had followed
the maidenly modesty which he had mis-
taken for resentment, the reticence which
had prevented explanation, his own proud
resolve TO make neither complaint nor
comment, and finally his retirement in
full marching order from the scene. He
had told himself that he was a man who
knew when he was beaten.
AS he had ridden away that night he
had mentally hidden farewell to all the
bright prospects which had danced before
his eyes during the past months; had told
himself he had been deludcd and mis-
taken; and quietly set about to retrace
his steps.
So we'll had be traced them that he had
baffled even his comrades in arms, and il
was only now, only when kindly lad
having had the luck TO stumble upon the
keynote OF the affair at the outset, pressed
homo query upon query that he was pre-
vailed upon TO disclose the events OF the
past.
"Inever did understand it," murmured
the joyful Edith in her lovers ear few
hours later, "and never mind what sup
posed. wore the arbutus exactly as
received it; II came from you; only Marie
would put in only the half, and there
were no berries-of that am absolutely
sure"
$50 am l." said Brett.
"For recollect hearing her muttcr TO
herself something about great ugly, red
fruits which made me suspect she did
not admire your taste, and was devoutly
thankful you had confined yourself to
the arbutus blossom.
81 tell you what" cried Mark, starting
TO his feet. 81 see IL all now. Oh,
heavensi that 1 should have been such an
idioti That ficnd OF a woman had picked
of the berries and thrown them away"
Which was exactly what Marie had
done.
Now, did ever a man run greater risk oi
shipwreck from little want of common
sense, and a complete ignorance OF horti-
culture.

wild tumult Of applause that seemed TO

stamped their feet on the floor; ladies
beat their fans to pieces hammering them

deep. But after single modest bow the

Editors Of the Providence Ne,cs:
Any effort or any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening Of the mind aud the
exciting of thirst for knowledge, is to be
commended. Travel, more than any other
thing, will accomplish these objects. and the
proposition of the News to aid some one Of its
readers in the requirement of useful informa-
ton abroad, TO be disseminated among the
people of our State upon his return, appears
70 be particularly interesting and laudabls.
