CHAPTER XIV,


1t was late on the evening of tho fifth
day after the letter had been sent to Ida
Raughton, that a mule, bearing upon its
back Lord Penlyn and escorted by q guide,
stopped at the house OF the Cure Of Sas-
tratz.
The young man had Travelled from Lon
don as fast as the expresses could carry
him, and had come straight to the village
tying at the entrance Of the Schwarzweiss
Pass to find that from there he could only
continue his journey on foot or by mnle.
He chose the latter as the swiftest and
easiest course-for he was very tired and
worn with traveling-and at last be ar.
rived at his destination.
When the first feeling OF horror had
been upon him on reading the letter Smer-
don had written, acknowledging that he
vas the murderer, he had told Ida Raush-
ton that he would not go to see him even
on his death bed: that his revulsion of
feeling would be such that he should be
only able to curse him for his crime
But she, with that gentleness OF heart
that never failed her, pleaded 30 with him
to have pity on the man, who, however
deep In sin, had sinned alone for him, that
she induced him to 60.
Remember" she said, that even

Yes" her lover answered, Il see his
reason now. He thought that Walter had
come between my happiness and me for
ever, and In a moment Of pity for me he
aid the deed. How little he knew me. IL
he thought wished him deadr'
But even as he spoke he remembered
that he had once cursed his brother, and

that Smerdon had acted, then he, too

he left Belmont an hour after the letter

Camille sIvori.

While Paganini was playing some
of his wonderful passages on the vio-
lin at a concert in Genoa, the stiffness
OF the hall was broken by groans
and the sound of some one falling
on the floor. A fainting woman
was taken from the hall, and shortly
after gave birth to Ernesto Camille
Siyori, who afterwards became the
great violinist's pupil, and who
attained fame second only to his
masters, although there was a vast
distance between the two. We hear
but little OF Sivori in this country
and his name is but seldom spoken,
but he was great performer. He
wrote many things for the violin,
and some years ago young Dengre-
mont made his Fantasia on II Trova-
tore very popular. A writer, speak
ing of Siyori, says: delicate in
appearance, he advances to the foot
lights composed, and, one would say,
with slight timidity. There is no
ostentation, no studied gesture, no
artifce. One would say that the
strings, untouched by the bow, Vi
brated spontaneously, or that an
invisible zephyr breathed upon them
and disclosed their hidden melodies.
So many are there, so various and
variable, they overflow and then
unite, dissolve and then blend,
so smoothly and tremendously
that you can hardly believe them to
be the result of art. You would
rather imagine nature poured them
out with the same prodigality with
which she lavishes perfumes in
garden, or zephyrs on . summer
morning

A RIDICULOUS SERMON.

The following is synopsis Of a
sermon that was preached on Lady
Day in st. Mary's College, Oxford,
in l64l by the learned Thomas Mas
ter, B. d.
Text, Luke l;26-"The Angel Ga
briel was sent to a virgin espoused
to man whose name was Joseph,
Of the house Of David, and the vir-
gins name was Mary
We see the virgin in her peri
geum, and her degrees in this low
er part Of her orb are pointed out in
the text.
|. A virgin supposeth ,coman,
one degree below q man.
III. A virgin one degree below o
woman; woman is cipher, God
made it not.
III Espoused, that's somewhat
lower yet; it is Gods and the kings
highway from maid to wife, but il
neither, and is therefore inferior to
both.
". TO Joseph, this brings hel
lower still.
v. Of The house of Dauid, lower
still.
VI. Her name was Mary, yet
lower.
| VII. Of Nazareth; we are now
at the ground, nay at the grave, fol
Galilee was the region of the shad-
ow OF death. From this lowly state
of Mary we gather comfort for our.

A. The body, that is the flesh,
which is the carpenters shop, and

scended.

Some girls treat their yiolins In a
very odd manner. One young belle
has what she declares is Stradi-
varius one hundred and fifty years
old. She has it inlaid with pearl,
consequently ruined its tone. An
other has an instrument she declares
Paganini liked very much, but she
has it all bound up with old gold
ribbons. She was warned it might
injure it. but said it didn't make any
difference as the ribbons suited her
complexion.

She went to Miss Madison as soon

she.
But Miss Madison could only pity

the number of lives that have been
lost in the worlds wars, the destruc-

HOW LITTLE We KNOW.

How little we know of each other,
AS we pass through this journey Of life,
With its heart-breaking woes, It's envies,
Its sorrows, it's tumults, its strife.
We only see things on the surface,
There are none Of US who glory in sin,
But an unrufied face is no index
To the trouble we carry within.
How little we know of each other,
That man who to-day passeth by,
Blest with honor. and fortune, and title,
And carrying his proud head SO high,
May carry dead secret within him,
That makes his bosom hell,
And he, too, sooner or later,
May writhe in a prisoners dark cell.
How little we know of each other,
That woman of fashion who sneers
At poor girl betrayed and abandoned,
And left to her signs and tears,
May ere the sun rose tomorrow
Have the veil rudely snatshed from. her
face,
And sink from the heights of her splendor,
To the shades Of shame and disgrace.
How little we know of each other,
Alas, Of ourselves so little we know,
We are all weak when under temptation,
All subjects to terror and woe.
Then let blessed charity rule US,
Let us put away envy and strife,
For before the sun rises tomorrow
These closets may be open to the light.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. II you
are tired, week and nervous, it is
clear that your blood is impure, and
without doubt there has been too
much over-work or strain on brain
and body. The course Of treatment
for such condition is plain and
simple. The blood must first be puri-
fed so that the nervous system, and
in fact all the organs will be fed up
on pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that
the best blood purifier, nerve tonic
and strength imparting medicine is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness,
loss of sleep and general debility all
vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
persistently taken; in word, health
and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

ANEopoTAL LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled BY W.
DAFT Jock AMOS.

Jock Amos was an odd character.
He was good scholar in his youth,
but unfortunately became lunatic.
He lived in Boston, near a church,
and often came in contact with the
minister with whom he had many q
verbal bout. As the minister was
taking his walk one fine Sunday
evening, he suddenly came upon
Jock, who was very busy cutting
some grotesque figures in wood with
his knife. Jock, looking hastily up,
found himself fairly caught, and not
knowing what to say, burst into a
foolish laugh. "Hal hal hal Mr..
Minister, are you there 7 Win you
trade whittier with me2n
"Nay, nay, Jock, ! will not ex.
change knives with you to-day"
"The mair fool are ye,1 quoth
Jock to the minister.
"But Jock, this is the Sabbath

Il dare say, Mr.. Minister, it'll he

ing with knives on the Sabbath day.
Jock, however, cut away till the di
vine added : "But why wouldn't you
rather come to church What is the
reason you never GOMEZ"
because you never preach on the
text l want you to preach on
what text would you have me
preach on ~
"On the nine and twenty knives
that came back from Babylon
81 never heard of them before"
at is sign you have never read
your Bible. Hal ha sic fool min :
lister |"
When the minister went to his
study, he searched long for Jocks
text, and at last found it recorded in
Ezra l:9. He was astonished at the
acuteness of the fool, considering
the subject on which he had reprov-
ed him.
