BEAUTIFUL EYES OF sLuE.

o beautiful speaking eyes OF blues
Where did you catch that glorious hucf
Have you slipped from the violet's purple
brim,
Hidden away in the forest dim,
Meath the cooling caves
OF dark green leaves,
Where the singing brook its foam veil
weaves?
o beautiful sparkling eyes of blue!
Have you kissed the drops of pearly dew?
Or how did you come by that shining light,
When the hours of day have taken hight2
From the dews wis,
You stole kiss,
Where the roses glowed in dewy bliss.
o beautiful starry eyes of blue!
Have you robbed the earth and heavens too?
Have you wooed the bride of the moonlit sky
Where the gems of night take wings and fly?
Oh, you look so true
Sweet eyes of blue,
But you've robbedthe earth and heavens too.

Rccollections Of Oxford.

My not being at public school has, l
have no doabt, strengthened my love of
my university and my college. In my
time the "head masters" had not had
everything their own way. 1t was pos
sible to enter Oxford at the age Of nine
teen-it was nothing wonderful to get a
scholarship before eighteen or even
earlier still. And to be scholar and fell
low of Trinity from 1S41 to 1847 was
something to be. 1t was indeed circle
to look back to of which fifty years ago
was chosen q member, a circle of which
man is much to be blamed if he is not
wiser and nobler for having been one.
But love of the foundation, the feeling
of membership, of brotherhood, in an
ancient and honorable body, the feeling
Of full possession in ones college as a
home, the feeling of personal nearness
to benefactor of past times, all that
gathers round the scholarship that was
something worthier than mere prize,
the fellowship that was something
worthier than a crammer's wages-ail
this, l hope, has not even yet utterly
vanished, but under the hands of one re-
forming commission after another, such
feelings have undoubtedly greatly weak
ened in the Oxford to which have come
back.
In the nnreformed university, the un-
reformed college in which had the
happiness to spend my youth, we had
time to learn something, because we
were not always being taught. We
were not kept through our whole time,
vexed by examination after examination,
examined in this subject one term, in
that subject the next term, all ingenious
ly combined for the better forgetting of
one thing before the next was taken in.
We had one examination, and search
ing one, thesuccessful passing of which
could not seem to any but a fool to be
the goal of study, but which, by the
reading it required, gave man the best
possible start for study in several
branches of knowledge.-Edward A..

It is necessary here to give the

Hardcastle's movements than that gem

After his extraordinary interview
with Wanda Arlington, when the pos
sibility of his securing the hand of Mrs
Evesham had been preached and dis
cussed. he had shrunk like bashful
schoolgirl from all further allusion to
the delicate subject. though he had de-
layed the day OF his departure. Now
it happened that this procrastination
was fraught with extraordinary events,
for he read one morning in the Detroit
Free Press. which he assuredly never
would have done if he had returned
home when he first intended, that DR..
Isaac jacobson, the distinguished New
York oculist, was visiting the great
lakes.

citedly. I'VE must intercept him at
Detroit and bring him to see George

Mr.. Arundel may recover

'.Oh. please keep to your story,
doctor" Harry pleaded.
"Well, my lord went into the horse
guards, but he dill not stay there very
long for he was requested to resign for
a series of misdemeanors which in
man, who had not strawberry leaves
on his brow, would have insured his
being cashiered. Then he married Lord
Newton Solney's daughter, about
whose death there was considerable
scandal Perhaps you read about it?"
No" Harry smiled. 81 don't think
was born when it occurred. if Burke is
accurate.
True, had forgotten. never
could quite get. to the bottom of that
affair-not that | was likely to do so;
for if there is man who hates scandal
it is myself.
"And Lord Arlington, sir?'
''Well. after her ladyship's death, he
kind of sobered up for awhile-I be-
lieve that is an American expression,
but it is very forcible-and led a re-
spectacle life till he was forty years OF
age, when he startled society by run

name think was Peggy o'Rourke, but

Burke says she was the daughter of

AIRY MEETS a, GREAT MAI


But the thread Harry held in the
skein of mystery snapped with cruel
abruptness. None had heard of any
gentleman of position who was accred-
tied with the phenomenal faculties
supposed to be possessed by Harry's
unknown.
"Pshaw, my dear fellow" friend
laughed, ''there are no such people out
side of cheap novels. OF course there
are plenty of charlatans hanging on to
the skirts of society who profess each
powers; but as for any man with the
rank of a gentleman cutting such
capers. its simply ridiculous You had
better eliminate the testimony of the
fair Miss Wilkins from your brief-it
will only lead you into difficulties.
''She certainly saw the man; the
woman is truthful am sure"
'Granted all that. The fact is, Mr.
Evesham, you do not realize the intense
ignorance of the British female of Miss
wilkins class. If they have any mag
ination, it is fed on the CORY incidents
of the penny-dreadfuls; and ! do not
doubt but that Maria's fiendish aristo-
crat, who looks into womens souls is
creation of her own disordered fancy.

to drop the noble villain from the

go back to New York, confessedly beat.

as follows:

Harry Evesham almost gave the
whole thing up in despair before he had
been month in London.
1t was wild-goose chase, for all the
clews he had wherewith to trace the
Identification of an infant waif, tossed
on the waves of humanity nearly TWEEN
ty years ago, were:
1. The case containing the effects OF
Ambrose Arlington, as found in his
room after his demise.
2. A parchment label attached to a
silk cord.
8. A case containing the clothes worn
by Wanda Arlington on the voyage, and
those afterwards discovered in her
trunk
4. Two photographs--one of Wanda
Arlington as child, the other recently
taken.
5. A pale coral necklace.
9. A gentleman's gold watch.
Z. The deposition of Sarah wilkins.
8. Copies of all dispositions taken a,

of events attending her guardianship
of Wanda.
And these were all.
He interviewed scores of Arlingtons
without success, consulted ofd files of
newspapers, and advertised for the bap-
tismal registration of any such infant.
No good.

Harry did not let the grass grow under
his feet, when there was even the faint
est chance of working in the right di-
rection, and half an hour after he re-
ceived Mr.. Hardcastle's letter found
him on the top of an omnibus on his
