PORTLAND RAILROAD.

This line traverses the streets of the
cities of Portland, Deering and West
brook. In road-bed and track are first
class in all respects. In it's transtorma-
tion from horse railroad to an electric
road sthe work was done in a very sub
stantial manner and nothing but the best
of material used. The bridges and cul-
yerts are few in number, owned by the
several cities and are kept in a first-class
condition.S
The rolling stock is of modern design
from some of the best builders in the
country and is maintained in first class
condition. During the year extensions
have been made from what is known as
the Westbrook line. from point in tho
city of Deering to connect with the line
through Stevens Plains and another ex-
tension from Stevens Plains, or Vest
brook Junction to Aliens Corner, so
called, all constructed in accordance with
the high standard of this company.
Under the head of station buildings is
seems proper to refer to the pleasure
grounds at Riverton, built and operated
by this company. In the carrying out Of
this scheme the company spared neither
pains nor expense and in it's mainte-
nance it gives to its patrons first class
entertainments. Everything in and about
this resort is of the very best and its
patronage comes from among the best
people, mot only of this vicinity, but those
who are going through the city of Port
land remaining sufficient length OF time
to allow them to enjoy the amusements
afforded here. Nothing seems to have
been left out in either the construction
or maintenance that would be conducive
to the pleasure of those who frequent it.

Chapter XVI.
CONCLUSION.

Now that we have entered upon the last
act Of all in this little romance of real
life, it is high time to introduce the reader
to those brighter and more cheerful
scenes whiel were promised in the be-
ginning of the foregoing chapter as a
s'finale.
It was q brilliant morning early in De-
Gem berthe AustT asian midsummer
exactly a month from the date upon
which Clara Lam BERT Ind released Cecil
Rawdon from his promise to marry her
The bells OF the little clearinghouse
church had been ringing forth rs merry
q peal as their limited chimes could con-
trise, ana the people dwelling around
wanted to know the reason of this
clangor. Then news was sent that there
was about to happen q double wedding.
This intelligence as of o nature to excite
Colonial curiosity. Who were the happy
couples? And presently, after diligent In
auiTy. il was discovered that Miss Marian
Marston WIS going to be married to Mr..
Cecil RaWdon, and that Miss Clara Lam
bert was about to be married to Mr..
Walter Brymer.
The first item of news the reader will
no doubt have been prepared for; the
second may possibly take him very much
by surprise. But the affair fell out in
this way. The wealth Sydney merchant,
who was one Of that class of gentlemen
who get the reputation Of being old at
fifty, and are always named with the pre-
fix of that qualifying adjective by their
friends Tor no other reason apparently
than because they happen to have re-
manned bachelors-since his return to
Australia from England had been con-
sidering deeply and often; and the tenor
Of these deep and frequent reflections
were whether alter all married life did
not offer g great many more attractions
TO man who had attained the age of

been vague, half formed idea when he
embarked on board the Strathnairn to re-
turn TO sydney; it grew into a conviction
before the ship had been many weeks at
sea; ana he had secretly pitched upon
Miss MaFston IN his own mind as a girl
whose character ne would quietly study
for awhile with view to making adj

vent of Rawdon, and the young lady's
