his presence. She would not have won dered, perhaps, had she realized that he had been directing peoples lives for years, learning their griefs, and making himself fully acquainted with their hopes and fears and blunders. All sorts and conditions of men and women con- 6ded their affairs to him. He could have told how Tom and Sue in the court had got into the habit of knocking each other about the head; and why Lord and Lady Hightower in Mayfair never spoke a word nowadays, when they chanced to be left alone together. He possessed the rare gift of unlocking hearts, and such gift is only held by one who is born director and spiritual guide of men.
 MT. Sidney had no mystical tenden- cies. His life was too busy; he took too intense an interest in the lives around him to have time for mystical thoughts. He believed strongly in the helping power of human agency and had all kinds of questions referred to him by all kinds of persons. He did not write books; he preferred to live in peoples hearts rather than on the shelves of their libraries. Even his ser mons were rarely to be found in print. and in short he was not one of those men who desire to leave great name behind them. To do his work thoroughly while he lived here; to lift others out of the slough of despond and lead them with a firm hand up to those de- lectable mountains where his own soul rejoiced in pure air, this was his daily task.

CHAPTER XII.

AdClinc NilliCrs seemed to bring a sense of life and freshness into the old house in Cecil street. A subtle fra, grancc foatrd in with her; her soft black skirts rustlcd gently through the dim passage; a bunch of violcts nestled in the lace that was folded loosely round her neck; she wore little black bonnet glittcring with jet, and was al. together a very nguishCd-loOllinG young woman. At the sight of her Scaward's quiet face hrightcncd, but she was not alone. Granny was slowly getting out of her carriage.
 "Shr troHld comc," murmured Adr- line, and she won't go anywhere else. The carriage is to return for lis in two hours. said that l could not possibly look through all your sketches in less than two hours"
 "IIow do you do, Sraward?" said the old lady, formally. "l am not fond of the strand, and l don't like being dragged out in the afternoon unless it is absolutely necessary. But Adclinc has the strongest will I have ever known. l am quite unable to cope with hcr--qEitt unable"
 still uttrriug feeble complaints, Mrs. Nillirrs was conducted into pretty room where fire was burning on the hrightly-colorcd tiles of the fireplace; u luxurious arn.-chair stood invitingly near tea table, and Scawards house. keeper (who had been Adclinc's nursc) was waiting to take the old lady's man. tie.
 Now there were few things that granny liked better than chat witt Tabhy, who knew all about the family and its ways, and whose only fault was her absurd adherence to Scaward Ayl stone. And Tabby, being d discreet woman, knew just what to say. and what to leave unsaid. She guessed that the cousins wanted to have conf, dcntial talk upstairs in the studio: and she also divined that they relied on her to keep Mrs. Nilli>rs amused and in a good humor while they were absent.
 II am not going up into the studio, Scaward," said the old lady, from the depths of the armchair. "rhc sight of many pictures wrarirS me, and hate unfinished things Don't keep Adclinc there zoo long; don't like to feel my self neglected. At my age I have n right to expect attention. But the young people of the present day are heartlCss very hcartlcss. The, !o not consider the old"
 You can always command attention in my house, grandmother" Scaward replied with grave courtesy.
 "I wonder you don't take another house." said granny, looking round with disparaging air. This is a hor- rid ncighborhood. Why not move to Kcnsington?"
 "Old associations are pleasant to mo, '' he answered. And after all, it does not matter where bachelor lives, does it?"
 Not if he means to remain bach elor," Mrs. Nillicrs said sternlv. You ought to marry, Scaward. Every year

OLIVE,
BY SARAH DouDN&Y.

Mrs Vinicrs had been left n widow early in life, with two sons and one daughter Her daughter had displcascd her by marrying Mir. Aylstone, the fa. thcr of Scaward, and had never been quite forgiven. Her eldest son had satisfied her pride by cspousing the daughter of an earl, and the boy born of this marriage had always been her favoritc grandchild. She liked Claud Nillicrs ns much as she disliked Sea ward Aylstonc.
 The second son had married Il wealthy woman, and Adcline was tho only child born of that union, Of all Mrs Nillicrs' grandchildren, only Sea, ward Aylstonc and Claud and Adclinc Nillirrs were left. The parents of these young people were dead, ant granny had always claimed the right of interfering with their personal con, crrrS. and giving them great deal of excellent advice Of the three, Claud had proved himscl6thc most docilc; but even ClOud had deeply offended his grandmother in time gone by, and had very nearly ruined his prospects in life
 But he had rrpcnted of his folly be fore it was too late. And in obedience to Eranny's command he had dutifully proposed to his cousin Adcline.
 Miss Nillicrs had accepted him, and tho pair had been engaged two years.

CARNATIONS WILL REIGN.
The IT il Chrysanthemum May Lose II
 Glory.

Hhe TT il Chrysanthemum May Lose Its
 Glory.
 The short-lived chrysanthemum is likely to be busted from the high posi- tion it now occupies in public favor by the carnation, which blooms the year round While it probably never will be possible to make so large and gorgeous display it is possible to bring the carnatiOn to such a degree of per lection as will entitle it to foremost place.
 With this end in view, says the Phila- telphla record, the national carnation society was organized in this city, prin- cipally through the efforts of Edwin Lonsdalc, of WyndInoor, on the Read ing railroad. Mir. Lonsdale was elected president, and C. ]. Pennocll, of Ken heth square, secretary. The society has for its object the propagation and development of the finest varieties of the caru2tion through the individual ef- forts of is members, who arc numbered by the thousands throughout the entire country. New seedlings are being pro- duced every year by hybridizing, and particular care will be taken by the society to sec that these are properly classified. It is the purpose also of the society to taboo all varieties of inferior quality. The ideal carnation of the fu- ture will be about four inches in diame- ter, and must possess the two all import ant qualities of stiffness of stem and clearness of color.
 The possibilities of increasing the varieties of the carnation by blending and hybridization arc very encouraging, as a prominent florist said yesterday. There are already over two hundred varieties in existence, several of which have been held in popular esteem year after year.
 The "crimson king" as the name i'm plies, is of dark red color. It has al ways been a favorite, although of late years the popular taste runs more to the pink varieties, of which there are many of great merit. The Grace Wilder" probably holds the palm among the pinks. Among the whites the honors are evenly divided between the "Hinzie" and the Puritan" The But tcrcup" is the yellow par excellence. Several new pink seedlings were brought out this year, and all possess merit, particularly the Mrs. Colhesh," " Aurora" and Grace Battles" the first mentioned having been brought out by w. J. Colflesh, of Darby. There are carnations of all colors, except blue, blending of several colors will swell the list of varities to thousands under the efforts of the new society.

A ProlnisIne Product.

The manufacture of new disinfec- tant and deodorant called Sauridon has been commenced at Maryhill, Eng. It is a residual product of an uncommon kind of blackstone shale, which is com posed of animal and vegetable remains, is remarkably light, and yields a large proportion of a heavy volatile oil. The oil is extracted by distillation, and the residual product is reduced to grains of different sizes, varying from a fine powder to the size of pea. The pow der is claimed to have an instantaneous effect upon obnoxious matter, while also being tasteless and colorless and harmless to all animal life. In the granulated form the substance acts powerfully for Altering and sweetening water. The oil, mixed with other sub stances, is used as a manure, which com pines the qualities of 8 fertilizer and a powerful insecticide.

 Nearly thirty years have gone by since Charles Dickens wrote about the Savoy churchyard and the quiet pre- cinct. II think that on summer nights the dew falls here," he said; the only dew that is shed in all London, beyond the tears of the homeless" And these very words may be spoken of this spot to-day, so green and fresh is the grass and so beautiful are the trees. The place is unchanged, and the familiar figure of the chaplain, known and loved by everybody, is still constantly seen in his old haunts. The surroundings are altered; ''the simple dwelling houses, with their white doorsteps and green blinds," have been swept away; but the coalies still touch their SOUL westcrs to him as he glides about" and the children's faces brighten at his greeting.
 The churchyard was quiet and de- serted when Olive ventured in and sat down to rest upon seat under the trees. She was in perfect harmony with the tranquil lights and shadows; and the grave beauty of the old gray walls, on which the record of centuries was written so legibly, yet without any sign of neglect or decay. The chapel, in its venerable strength, stood in the midst of all the active life of to-day, and linked the present to the past. In that old church, the good and peaceful Fuller spoke loving words to those who sat within the walls, and crowded about the windows and doors to get within reach of his voice. And there, too, he preached his last sermon to the wedding couple, who were members of
