was blessed with five marriageable daughters. As the curate had fore seen, it was not long before he had an opportunity of bringing himself under the bishops notice; and. as he had likewise foreseen, the superior cut of his long black coat, and the superior polish of his manners made a certain impression on his lordship's mind. MT. D'Oyley was asked to garden par ty at the palace, and he made such good use of his time on that occa sion that before long he was invited to the palace a second time. He then con- trived to be employed by one of the bishops chaplains as a sort of unpaid assistant; and thenceforward his progress became easy.
 Before Dr. Smiles had been six months at Bishops Tilton Mr. D'Oyley had contriyed to be on terms of sym pathetic friendship with Ernesta, the bishops third daughter. She had con tided to him her preference for the Sarum Use; he had told her with sigh that the low tone of the diocese was a great cross to him. In short, they understood one another. But Ernesta knew very well that for her to marry penniless curate was out of the question; while the clergyman never dreamt of wedding g portionless girl, as the third Miss Smiles certain ly was.
 Matters were, in this position when the diocese was startled by the news that the rector of D>tchley had sud- denly died. Now, Ditchley was one.of the plums ins the Brampton pudding. Mir. D'Oyley had no occasion to look it up i'll Crockford. He knew all bout it. 500 per annum, and house; patron, Lord Cuddesly.
 For some time the curate of Market Dedham sat pondering. Then he got up and rummaged out an old uniyersi- ty calendar, and by it's help discovered the pleasing fact that Hon. Algernon Debray, Lord Cuddesly's eldest son, had been at Oxford for three months before he himself left that seat of learning. Mir. D'Oyley, having ascer- tained this fact, resumed his medita- tions.
 The following day he went to the palace and asked for the bishop. The bishop received him with a business like air, which would have been dis concerting to most men, but Rev Sep- timus D'Oyley refused to notice it. He seated himself, and proceeded to inform his lordship that he had to speak of a subject that was very near to his heart. The bishop stared. Then the young clergyman mentioned the mama of Mise ErnaS+a
 "Sir!" cried the bishop. half rising from his chair in his anger.
 Mir. D'Oyley looked at his diocesan with mild surprise, :.
 Understand me, my lord," said he; II have not breathed word of this to your daughter. All want to ascer- tain from you is this-would the posi- tion of rector of Ditchley be such as would satisfy you, in point of status and means--''
 You. Mr. .D'Oyley. Rector of Ditch- ley! Do you know what you are talk ing about?"
 T hope I do, my lord, returned the curate with smile. As it happens, Lord Cuddesly is the patron; and his eldest son was at Oxford with me- tThe curate said this in a quiet but oHhand sort of way, as much as to say that is the least psrt of the hpsi-

The: genuine obliterations of the stamps of the Ionian isles consist of "Corfu'' at the top between two lines of double circle, franco" in an oval with sharp ends, and pen strokes.
 The highly-colored labels of various Central and South American republics, known in the philatelic world as See beeks, add no value to a collection. These stamps are classed among the speculative issues.

The first consideration for beauti- 1ul philatelic collection is the stamps themselves, and the second is their ar- engagement in the album. Badly e11+ tered, torn or heavily cancelled stamps should by all means be avoided. Be- sides being practically worthless, they spoil the beauty of any collection.

To be happy one must have noth- ing to forget.
