peculiarity was his disputatious temper and the flow of language which, even as child was ever at command to ex- press his arguments. In person, with commanding brow, his countenance was an exaggeration of that of his father-austere even to harshness, and grave even to melancohly,
 A learned man, who had guided his early studies, struck by his acuteness and his powers of rapid attainment. had, after much difficulty, persuaded his father to send him to a public school. This decision cost Mrs. Fall comet much sorrow, who believed a public school was place of much wickedness and cruelty. Her fears and | anxiety were, however. unnecessary, for her son was at once placed in a position in the school which exempt ed him from the servitude which she dreaded. while a very short time elapsed before. even with so many com petitors. his singular powers began to be remarked and admired.
 His success at school secured for him the University. He was always the favorite son of his father. though that. feeling on the part of the parent was never acknowledged or ayinced Secretly, however. the elder Falconet, began to muse over the future of this gifted child, and indulge in dreams which he never communicated to his wife. It was agreed in due course, that Joseph should study for the bar, having left the university in a blaze of glory as Senior Wrangler, and re- cognized as the unrivalled orator of its mimic Parliament.
 And what were the dreams of the youth himself? Had he any? Though of an eager and earnest temperament, his imagination was limited, and quite conscious of his powers, being, indeed, somewhat arrogant and peremptory, aspired only to devote them to accom- plishing those objects which, from his cradle, he had been taught were the greatest, and the only ones, which could or should occupy the energies of man.
 Firm in his faith in an age of dis solving creeds, he wished to believe that he was the man ordained to vim dicate the sublime cause of religious truth. With these ardent hopes, he had renounced the suggestion which he had once favored of taking orders. It was as the lay champion of the church that he desired to act. and be- lieved that in such position his in- lfluence would be infinitely greater than in that of a clergyman, whatever 4''S ANRNNSs 1hc SdASCE OA W.T.

It certainly did his father, for the se- cret scheme of the elder Falconet over which he unused alone was to obtain a seat in Parliament for his son.
 No easy matter in these days, when men think themselves fortunate to reach the House of Commons with a gray of bald head And yet men of influence, by pondering over an affair, geenrally strike fire at last. If they be men of influence, the luminous particle generally will not appear, and they are called visionaries, crochetty, or adventurers.

CHAPTER III.

There are few things more striking than arriving in the port of London on a Sunday and then proceeding to some distant hotel An enormous and illim- itabIe city stretches out before you, apparently without an inhabitant. The windows are closed, the shops shuttered up, and in mighty thoroughfares, grooming on week days with the weight or wains and carts and carriages, and streaming with population, perhaps the hanson cab that you have been fortunate enough to secure when you |disembarked is the only vehicle visi- ble-and no voice is heard except per- haps your own giving unintelligible di- rections to some obstinate or silently supercilious driver.
 In the present case, however, the in- dividual who had secured the cab had a companion. for when they had land- ed he had courteously offered a seat in his vehicle to one whose acquaintance he had only made during a short voy- age, but whose conversation and man. ner had interested him.
 There is nothing to me so striking and so unexpected as this appearance of London" said his guest. T came here with the persuasion that the Eng fish were rapidly renouncing not only their own religion, but the religious principle altogether. and I find a scene which. for the cessation of labor, could only have been equalled in old Jerusa- .em."
 Manners and customs outlive super stitions," said his companion, a man who, if he had lost his youth, was in the primo of middle age-of middle sta .ure, still slender, with an inscrutable ,ountenance, for the color of his eyes ,eemed to change when he spoke. On he whole, it might be described as a ,ompact face, the features regular but inclined to delicacy, the brow square,
 nd the mouth resolute. In these days
 ostume is little guide to mans sta- ion, except to the very praeticed' and
 fter a voyage the most fashionable nd fastidious are somewhat soiled and ,hattered Nevertheless, it would be tt once felt that the manner of this person was high-bred, natural, easy,
 nd yet dignlfled.
 q do not disapprove of the Sabbata- rian Institution" said his companion: "on the contrary,NI approve of 1t. It was a step in the right direction. It secured repose for one day in the week. True religion would secure repose for every day."
 That would be the Kingdom of Heaven" said his companion, with which you were just saying these Eng lish people were not so content as in old days"
 "when we were talking together on deck" replied the other. "I told you that was a missionary, and I saw that you despised me. though you were too polite to express such sentiment. ]

CHAPTER IT.

The house of Falconet held a mort gage on the West India property of a noble lord. who was also a Minister of State. It was not in itself a good se- curity, but the noble lord possessed ample property of a more substantial character, and SO the firm was safe. The firm had taken leading part in that abolition of West Indian slavery which had seriously reduced the value of the property in question. whether the memory of this fact entailed some remorse. or whether they were influ- enced by the recollection of happier times, when. for long series of years, they had been the agents of the noble

the wolves from western Texas, Claude B. Hudspeth, known as the cowboy legislator" who is the representative in this state legislature, has passed a bill providing for an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars by the stats to pay bounties on vol and other varmints' scalps.
 Lobo wolves are the only wolves which will attack mankind-speaking of course, Of the wolves in Texas and the southwest. The timber wolves come across to western T:xas in certain sea- sons in packs, and are very destructive to stock. as they hunt in packs, and these wolves will attack man when a pack of them runs across a man on foot; but the lObo is said to be the only wolf which will attack a lone man without the aid of other wolves. This is only done, however, when the wolf is very hungry and a man is caught alone on the range and unarmed, a very rare occurrence, by the way.
 These lObos, in killing stock, do not hunt in packs. A family or pair hunt together, and in this case they range alongside the COW or steer, one wolf on each flank, and drag the animal to the ground. Where a wolf is alone, his mate having been killed. his method in killing big steer is a singularly easy one. He first cuts the tendons of the steers hind leg, 'hamstringing'' him by sharp, vicious snap of his sharp teeth. The steer sinks down and the wolf cuts his throat next with sharp snap Texas Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

CALLED THE VERTICAL GRAND
A New and Wonderful Invention

While the grand piano is us- ually to be called the most effec- tive musical instrument as per- taining to tone and action the price of this piano is not within speaking of the space it oceu- pies. The wonderful appliance of the Steinert0ne system as contained in the Steinertone grand piano has also been ap- piled to the UPRIGHT. In doing this the UPRIGHT piano diyests itself of the limitations as usu- ally found in all other uprights and is transformed into a NER- TABLE GRAND pianoforte of remarkable tonal powers and hammer repetition. This Won- derfui instrument must be heard to appreciate it's superiority over all other uprights. The Steiner tone company invites the public to see these UPRIGHT GRAND PIANOS and when they have tested them and have been in- formed of the low manufacture CTS prices they will find at once good reasons to purchase the Steinertone Vertical Grand as house instrument. Remember the Steinertone plano and the low prices they are sold for either cash or time payments.
