And touch her maiden heart.

In prose pr poetry, a hope
To win me for his Bride.
But yet if any word of truth

There must be somewhere in the world
A heart that's meant for mine,
And this shall et the owner know

When Mr. Jones went home to supper the
other evening Mr. Jones had not returned
from a shopping expedition. This was so
unusual that he felt uneasy. But when; the,
,eritirti-eveninkinCerpiiiiliWand -she weals -till
absent he became greatly alarmed. In bis
own mind he had informed the police and
the mayor, and hsked to have the river
dragged. 'When Mrs. Jones came home
she was flushed and radiant, and her eyes
shone like stars.
"Oh," he said, sinking into an may
chair and sticking her feet out straight
before her, "I've had such a good time !"
"Maria," asked Mr. Jones sternly,
"where have you been ?"
"Been Out with the girls, and I have
come home sober, which is more than can
be said of some folks I know."
"Maria, this is no time for trifling. Tell
me at once where you have been, or 1 shall
take measures to find out for myself."
"Mercy me, don't look so cross Jeptha.
I went shopping with Cousin Kate and she
insiated on my going home to tea with her.
Then we both went over to see Mrs. Major'a
new dreas from Paris, and, as I was near my
own dressmaker, I went in to nee her and
borrowed a paper pattern,"
"And who came home with you ?"
"Cousin Kate."
" And did she go back alone ?"
f' No she wouldn't come in, so I walked
back with her, and Cousin John came back
with her and me."
"And did it take you till tezr o'clock at
night to do that gadding about ?" cross-
questioned Mr. Jones.
"Oh, no, dear, we dropped in at Mrs.
Blossom's and saw her new bonnet and had
some nice raspberry ceeqial, randsi ran over
to Mrs. Mancey's—I w N4o near—and bor-
rowed her recipe for sty,* ,pudding; and,
oh, Jeptha, I saw the Smith twinlets—the
sweet little things—a boy and a girl or a
girl and a boy, I' forget which, and on our
way home I looked in—why, where are you
going, Mr. .Jones? I haven't told you half

A Wife Vatting Ciaim Support from Rer
Husband and Refuse to Live with Rim.
The appeal case of Robertson vs Robert-
son came up before Chief Justice Galt and
JusticeablacMahon and Rose agt. Toronto
_yeaterday. - Oscar and. An Jane Robertson
are man and vvife, and until 1890 resided in
Waterford, Ont. In that year they moved
to Pontia.c, Ill. About the end of the same
year the couple visited the home of the hua-
band's parents at Waterford, and after a
stay of a few days Mr. Robertson re-
turned to Pontiac, while Mrs. Robertson
went to Cayuga to spend two weeks, as she
told her husband, with herrelatives in that
town. Since then, however, the wife hos
not returned to Pontiac and the husband
refused to support her unless she did. Last
Christmas Robertson made another visit to
Waterford and while there his wife had
him arrested for desertion and non-support.
He was taken to Cayuga, tried before Judge
Upper and sentene,ed to three months in the
Haldimand county jail. The defendant ap-
pealed yesterday and their lordships
quashed the conviction on the following
grounds: (1) That Robertson had offered
to support his wife if she returned to him;
(2)that the proper place for a wife is at her
husband's side, and the husband is not
bound to support her unless she lives with
him; (3) that a ditizen of the United States
cannot be sued in Canada for non-support
of his wffe. .4
Kissing for a Wager.
Mr, W. A. Mestayer, the American
comedian, is exceedingly fond of practical
jokes. .
Coming east recently from Chicago he.
fell in with a email coterie of jolly good fel-
lows in the buffet•car, and after they had
knocked the gold seals from several bottles,
they felt equal to anything. Then it was
that Mestayer arose, and said :
"1 want to kiss a pretty woman !"
A roar of derisive laughter greeted this
announcement.
"You fellows may laugh,"said Mestayer,
"but Lam going into that drawing -room
car and shall 'kiss the prettiest woman I see
in it !"
There was another howl of derision.
"I'll bet you $20," retorted Mestayer.
"I'll take you !" said one, "and see that
you get a decent burial."
Thenthey followed silently, while Me -
stayer strodeinto the car, and stood for a
mornent gazing up and down. '
In a moment he . made his choice, and
'walked softly towards a parlor chair in
whose velvety "embrace lay a slender, wil-
lowy, feminine form. The sleeper was very
pretty,, and a soft flush suffused a very
tempting cheek. Then, while the crowd,
half repentant, edged back to the door,
Mestayer leaned over the chair and lciesed
the steeping woman, as Swinburne. would
have said, full upon:the two lips.
Of course there was'a sharp scream, and
one Member of the party reaubed back to
his hip pocket. But -when the- young lady
looked up, she merrily remarked:
" Why, William, what Made 3 ou do that?"
It was Theresa Vaughan, Nlestayer'e wife.
A Romantic Scotch marriage. •
'A marriage, with which is associated
more than the URDA degree ofromance, was
celebrated in Edinburgh recently, the bride
being a descendant of the last Earl of Sea -
forth, and the bridegroom a crofter belong-
ing to Ross -shire. Miss Anstruther, the
lady in question, is connected with -several
titled Scottish families, her mother, who is
a sister of Lady Aahburton, being a grand-
daughter of the last Earl of Seaforth. The
bridegroom was Duncan Mackay, Beirinish,
'West ROWS, who farms a croft on Sir Ken-
neth Matheson's estate of Lochalsh. Mr.
Mackay is a well-known man in the district
to which he belongs, having taken a promi-
nent part loeally in the land reform move-
ment. Being much above the average
crofter in point of education, he has been
rather a. prominent leader in public matters
in the Lochalsh district. For several sum-
mers past Miss Anstrnther has resided at
Plock ton, Lochalsh, and it was while there
that she met Mr. Mackay.

Course on the e of a great curling match

hea in the parish of Birketneuk. It was
a co d day and there were not many for-
ward, three in the east gallery, four in the
west, and about a dozen scattered through
the body of the "bit biggin."The weather
was cold, and the tramp chord -a executed by
the feet of all to the last psalm was per-
haps excusable; but they all warmed up
• when the preacher, after a long pause, said:
"Life, ma brethren, is like unto a game at
curling. Without ae bit rag tae cover oor
bits o' bodies We • are sent oot „ into
this mild, cauld atmosphere. But sve
ether claes as we gang on, till we hae to

brethren, we git ready our besoms an' sweep

His Scotch Falling.
The dispute between Sir ThVas 31c11.
wraith, premier and treasurer of Queeni-
land, with the Bank of England hattbrought
out an unhappy but characteristic display
of temper from the Australian statesman..
It seems that Sir Thomas has made up his
mind, on what he considered as a settle&
understanding, that if Queensland did noti
succeed in securing a loan by the 1st of July,
the bank would advance a sum of about
$6,000,000. The bank, it seems, took e.
different view of the Matter, and thereupotp,
Sir Thomas McIlwraith said it had acted ale
no honeet hank would act and that if any.
body trusted it, he would be sold. As the
controversy developed, the hasty statesmate
acknowledged that he had been mistaken,
but excused his language by saying that it
was only a manner of speaking to which'
Scotchmen, were not unaccustomed. Thie
refusal to admit himself in the wrong lute
brought down ors Sir Thomas McIlwraith
the anger of the Times, which considers that
the'original offence against the bank has
.been aggravated by a slur cast upon North
Britons, Sir Thomas /vIcIlwraith is an able
politieian, but he has his failings, one of
which is quickness of temper, and it seems
