standing, according to previous ar
rangements. it becomes necessary to
report such happenings as have trans
pired in the classic shades of this local

The recent freshet did considerable
damage in this locality. Old farmers
and observers claim that the freshet OF
&c. which has ever since been record
ed as the acme of freshets for this sec
ton of country, was not nearly so bad
as the one just recently experienced.
But we were singularly fortunate in as
much as there was no loss of life as a
result Of the freshet.

A Correction.

Ed. Register-In the latter part OF
the sermon delivered at st. Paul's
Church on last Sunday evening, there
are one or two sentences that should be
corrected; otherwise they are liable to
objection and just criticism. The term
infdelity twice occurs, and in each case
is improperly applied. 1t is not true
in general sense that infidelity, as
applied to religious unbelief, is incom-
patible with the highest form Of citi-
zcnship. This fact is well known to the
minister who gave utterance TO the ex-
preston. but in the rapidity of enunci-
alton and impulse of a rather an I'M
chastened imagination he allowed the

But the warning came too late; inten-
tionally or Internationally she did pull
the trigger, and the gun carelessly held
recoiled sharply, striking against her
shoulder with such force that she stag
gered and would have fallen if Thorne
had not caught her in his arms. The
gun slipped to the ground, but fortu-
nately did not discharge the second bar
rel.
Thorne regarded the white face upon
his breast with trepidation, amazed even
amid his anxiety at the fierce pang that
shot through lis heart at the sight of its
pallor. Suppose she should be seriously
hurt! Brute that he had been, not TO
have taken better care of her. FOOL
fool! to have let her touch that accursed
gum His hand trembled as he loosened
her cloak and passed it tenderly over
her shoulder. Dislocated? No, such
cruel harm had not befallen her; a
brnise, little stiffness was the worst in
store. A passionate relief, bewildering
in its intensity, thrilled through him;
his dark cheek rivaled hers in pallor;
his eyes glowed.
Then her ids quivered, the gray eyes
Enclosed aud the color flushed back
warmly, covering cheek and brow and
neck with mighty surge Of crimson.

eyes the expression he felt glowing with

paleness in force again, replied to his
inquiries with tremulous but determined
lightness, putting aside his selfreproaches
and assuming the blame with eager in
conference. She made terrible mess
Of it, but Thorne was past all nicely of
observation; his only thought, now that
he was assured Of her safety, was to get
himself away without further betrayal
of his feelings. His mind was in a
tumult and his heart rose up and choked
him. For moment he held the small,
tremulous fingers in strong, warm
clasp, then with quick good night
relinquished them, sprang over the fence
and walked rapidly away in the direc-
ticn of Shirley.

men of his acquaintance enyied him, but
he did not rejoice nor plume himself. He
wanted his wife to lean on him. to clothe
the strength of his manhood with the
grace of her womanhood-and his wife
showed herself not only capable of stand
ing alone, but of pushing him away with
both hands. His mood underwent many
changes. and finally he let her go, with
SEINE disgust and deep inward curse at
his past folly. 1t was not pleasant re-
Prospect.
Night had fallen; the air was ssill and
brooding; across the sky scudded ragged
masses of clouds, advanced guard of the
storm that was mastering along the hori-
zon; everywhere there was a feeling
that foreboded snow. In the sky few
stars were visible, and those glimmered
with cold, wan light; at the zenith a
solitary planet burned steadfastly. The
road stretched away into the night; it
was dark under the trees beside the
fence; away in the distance the echo of
footsteps sounded. /
Thorne thought of Pocahontas. His
face softened and his eyes shone ten
Derby How true she was, how thorough
and noble. Her pure face and fearless
gray eyes rose before him; with the love
of such a woman to bless him. her hand
in his, her influence surrounding him, to
what might not man aspirel There
were no insincerities, no half truths, no
wheels within wheels, such as Ethel de-
lighted in. about this other woman.
Even her occasional fits of impatienee
and temper were INDUCED in frankly
sudden furry of tempest and then the
bright, warm sunshine; no long con-
tinued murkiness, and heavy. sodden
depression for hours and days.
Did she love him? As he asked himself
the question, Thorne's heart bounded,
and the blood coursed holly through his
veins. He had tried to make her love
him-had he succeeded Thorne was no
fatuous fool. blinded by his own vanity,
but his power over women had been
often tried. fully proved, and he had
confidence in himself. Once only had
he failed of securing the love he sought.
and it was the memory of that failure
which made him pause and question
now He was not sure. She liked him,
was pleasant and gracious, but be had
seen her SO to other men. Never until
this evening had she changed color at
his touch. She liked him-and Thorne
felt within him fierce desire to change
her passivity Of regard into wild activity
Of passion. He could 10 it. That tide

terrible mistake, but there was sufficient
chivalry in his nature to make him feel
that the mother of his child had claims
upon him-to make him willing. for the
child's sake. to leave her the protection
Of his Tome and name as long as she
cared to keep it. Then. too. the habit
of thought in his family. and all his
early influences were against divorce
The idea had not presented itself spon.
taneously, as the natural solution of his
domestic difficulties; he had been obliged
to familiarize himself with it. His fam
lily had been Catholics for generations,
his mother had become one on her mar
riage and had been ardent and devout,
as is usual with proselytes. Thorne was
not religious man himself. but he re-
spected religion. and IN an abstract way
considered it beautiful and holy thing.
He had never thought of it with any ref
erence to his own life. but it made a halo
around the memory Of his mother. Her
views had influenced him in his deci-
sion in the matter of a divorce. The
world had given him credit for religious
scruples of his own, but the world had
done him more than Justice. He was
only haunted by the ghosts of his moth
er's scruples.
Thorne leaned ON the fence Of the field
where he had first seen Pocahontas and
went over his former experience of love-
What miserable thing it had been at
best. How feverish, vapory and unsatis-
fying What a wretched fiasco his mar
riage had proved! And yet he had
loved his wife. Her beauty was Of a
type that insures its possessor love of a
certain sort-not the best, but strong
enough to stand the wear and tear OF
well to ac existence, if only it is re-
turned II Ethel had loved him, Thorne
would have held to his lot and munched
his hnsks, if not with relish. certainly
with decency and endurance. But
Ethel did not love him.
Their marriage, from Ethel's stand
point, had been mercantile; for his
wealth and position she had willingly
bartered her youth and beauty, and if
he would have been content with face
value she would have been content.
Why should people trouble the depths
of life when the surface was so pleasant
and satisfying? She liked Thorne well
enough, but his ceaseless craving for
deep affection, community
of interest and the like wearied. bored
and baffied her. Why should they care
for the same things, cultivate similar
tastes. have corresponding aspirations?
If they differed in thought and life and
expression let them differ-it was of no
She found her husbands
exactions tiresome. He had her birth
right, she had his pottage; let the matter
end there, and each be satisfied.
But Thorne was not satisfied. He had
married transcendently beautiful
woman, hut he had no wife. Half the
