(From Onward and U ward for play.) .) p y That was a mistake when 'l said the boat was waiting for us at Laohins 1 I must have been thinking of the Lachine Rapids, which are one of the sights which all right- minded visitors to Montreal goand see, and down which they generally descend in a eteamer. We had fully intended to ht. elude them in our programme, but want of time and heavy robe prevented our going,and so I cannot give you the desoription of an eyewitness. We determined to make the most of our last day at Montreal, and so, instead of joining the boat either at Dlontreal itself or at Lachine, we left tate in the afternoon by train to Coteau, about 30 miles west of the oily. There wo head ordered ts " maohiaze" to meet ria to drive nu for the mile and a half between the station and the river. But our "machine" did not turn up, and we fell to the mercy of e, youthful Jehn, with an extremely shaky and antediluvian trap, who took a mis- ohievano pleasure in landing as ever and anon in deep blaok ruts in which the road abounded, looking back with a twinkle to enjoy the anxious glandes at his paaeengere at the angle in which the frail wheels found then]sslves during these plunges. But the rough tranait dtd not biiud our oyes to the peaceful Fxenoh Oanarlian Bcenee through which we were posing, nor to the gorgeousness of the golden eaoset which was glorifying the whole landscape. Soon we wereestablishsd in our new abode, the Coreiean, with its clean cabins and attentive stewards, and its genial, sailor• like captain, who had been navigating the river for twenty-eight years, but who dame originally from Maidenhead. Ho was good enough to invite ne to his own upper dealt, near sae steersman's cabin, endows having °leathered up the prcoipitoas ladder which led thither, we enjoyed a magnificent view. That first evening was lovely; the glow of the sunset melting into full moonlight in an incredibly short space of time, and wo eat and eketobed, end congratulated our- selves on having taken the boat instead of the hot stuffy train. Next day was too hazy and grey for a proper view of the ter famed Thousand Islands, through which the Corsican threaded her passage. No name could better describe the scene than the Thousand Iolanda. The broad river, which, at places, is seven miles across, is literally studded with islands of all shapes and sizss, some scarcely more than is rook on which a bush has taken root, others large enough to maintain a small colony'. Nearly every island has its villa and its flag, and its little pier with brightly colored pleioure boats lying around. Steam launches ply busily from one point to another, whistling importantly their ap- proaob ; fishermen are seen pursuing their Draft devotedly in every little bay. The air resounds with the laughter of picnic parties, for this is one of the great holiday hanunte of the Americans, both from the north and south of the St. Lawrence, and at night the villas and the', hotels vis one with another as to who can beat ilinminatetheir respective ielands. It is, therefore, a goy and attractive entre that the river presents at this point, but we agreed that it has not the same impoe int; beauty that we saw further east. But now, in eho afternoon, we are approaohieg Kingston, fail of historical assooietiona from the old days of Frontenao onwards, The little picture does not do it jaatioe, for it commands the river in a moat pictur- esque way. Oar captain told ns we [mold have jnet two boars ashore, and so we hur- ried off, dosiroue first of all to assure our- selves of the well-being of a daughter 'ol one of Lord Aberdeen's tenants who had emigrated hither two or three years book. We found her happy and bright, and quite a Canadian, giving her verdict in favor of the " new country " most emphatioally. She had been with the same mistreat ever since she came out, and appeared a great favorite with the latter. Having received thio fur- ther testimony in favor of the emigration to Canada of the right eortof hard-working girls, we proceeded round the Frights of the town, under the guidance of a genuine Irish cabman, who did the. honors impar - fierily of the Barracks, of the Military College, of the Martell° Towers, anis of the Penitentiary and the Lunatic Arelam and the Queen's College—this latter being a Presbyterian University presided over by the well•known and eloquent Principal Grant. Then, after a comfortable little tea at the hotel, we sonrried beak in good time before the bell of departure sounded, and we sailed out into Lake Ontario in the rays of the netting sun in the happy delu- sion that we wore to glide aver waters oe smooth as the river which we had just left, till we found ourselves at Toronto, which we were to reach next morning. Alas for our hopes 1 We descended to supper, but scarcely were we seated, than swish -swath came a wave through the port hole, sweeping over glasses and plates in its passage. We do not know much of what happened in the sapper saloon after that. We were each alone in our narrow berth bewailing our folly for having traded the treacherous waters instead of having taken beg and baggage to the train at Kingston. But, at three in the morning, hark, what is that whistle? What is that welcome clanking of a drain ? Are we stopping ? Yea, indeed. And is there any chance of esoape? The thought occur- red eimultaneoualy to two passengers, who appeared with wan fades and dish- evelled hair at the door of their cabins at the same time, and oonfrontod ono another with the cams question. The thought was gniokly put into action, after Lord, Aberdeen had obtained the kindly oo-opera• tion of the captain, whoeven refrained from scoffing' at such ' deserters, and admitted that it had oome ap a pretty stiff end,un- expected gale. And a few minutes later we were ,left rejoioing on a deserted pier, with caught bat a tea•kettIe, a plaid, and an umbrella in onrhands. But a Robinson' Crane inhabited that peier—eo fate would have it, he was Cruso by name—but he was lilts hie 'teemesake in hoepitality also, and in his, ability for making the bust of whatever - strangers came his way. He eskod not our name or onr brininess, but made us freed the office which be oocapied as agent for the stoamboete. EIe asked ns it we wanted anything, he provided ne with money, he volunteered to stir up a cab in the town to fetch ns to the station a couple of hours later, and ho showed us his method of getting water out of the lake by means of a sode.wator bottle with e long stringaround the nook. What say yon to *his as a elpadimen of Canadian hospitality and oonrtesy 2 The reoipienta of it were, anyway, genuinely grateful, and very ley- fully did we balance oareelves on the edge of the Bier, in the cl trk, tend in the midst of the gale, and fish for water, end then make our tea in the shelter of the can, 'Wooing to the storm ontaide. To prevent you Early 1Vlimrrlages. A lady of intelligence and observation has remarked : I wish I could impress the minds of the girls that the chief end of woman io not tomarry young." If girls coati only be brought to believe that tueir climaxes for a heepy marriage were bettor after three or four and twenty than before, there world he much less misery in the world then there is. As girl grows older, if sae thinks at all, she certainly becomes more capable of judging what worldmake her happy than when younger. At twenty- five a woman who is somewhat independ rent and not over.&axions to marry is much harder 20 piease and careful in her choice Than one at twenty. There is good reason for this. Her mind has improved with her pears And she now looks beyond mere appear- uanosa in judging men. She is apt to ask if this man, who is eo very polite in company, is really kind-hearted. Do hie polite acti°ns spring from a happy, genial nature, or iaafiie Attractive demeanor put on for the occasion, and laid aside at home as he lays aside hie coat ?

The Holatoin•Freisien Aseooiation,,one of the most prosperous cattle breedore' ieseooietions in Ameriea, has appropriated $10,000 to be paid in premiums on its shown et the Exposition.

Professor Williem Saunders, director of the experimental farms of the Canadian department of agriculture, is in °erre. opandeac:e with Chief Buchanan with a view to getting space for a big display. -President Bonney, of the World's Con- gress Auxiliary, says that the indications erre shat the proposed congresses on educa- tion, temperance, religion, agriculture, laver end other great eubjeote, will be so large that great diffioulty will be experi- onoed in providing large enough aesembly rooms. The most enjoyable way of reaching the World's Fair grounds from the heart of the city will be by boat on Lake Michigan, and the Least Directory intends to see that very extensive facilities in that line are provided. Paokers of canned goods, at their recent national nonvention, voted to request the Exposition authorities to be allowed to show the process of preserving fruit, and to ergo a felly egaippea oannery for that purpose. Sootohmen have asked Director. General Davis to set apart one week daring the Exposition when Scottish games may be made a leading attraction. The requeet will probably be granted. Hon. Thomas M.

" How quickly that winter pawned to me, for before the spring came I knew I loved Charles` Roland l " Yes, I loved Charles Roland, but I never dreamed that my sister Claire loved him as well. " Claire is dead now, Linda, and lying at rest, but I cannot tell you my story with- out speaking of a wrong she did," and Evelyn's face paled at the memory of the proud, passionate sister, whose life had been eo short. " Do not tell mo if it pains yon," Linda said. " One evening Charles told me his love," Evelyn wont on. " It was summer and we were Bitting together, I idly dreaming of my love, when suddenly he bent over and taking my face between his hands looked into my eyes till, with very shame of the secrethe must have road in them, they drooped beneath his glance. l" Evelyn, my love, my darling, tell me you will be mine ?' he said, and I—oh, so unutterably happy, let him take me in his arms and kiss my lips with a lever's pas- sionate fervor. " Oar wedding day was fixed and the perfect joy'of the intervening time serves to brighten my life even now. " A few days before the wedding he went up to the oity—we were to be married on Tueeday, and on the Friday before, with one sweet, lingering kiss he left me, saying ho world be back on Saturday evening, but Saturday evening came and Charles did not.

A Horse Battle. The herds of horses on a Western mob, roaming over so large a space, rarely en- counter one another. When they do, the mares evince only the smallest possible amount of onriosity, but join and graze. Different is it with the stallions. With hut a moment's preparation, they rush wildly et one another like mad hulls, neighing in what seems the monkery of a neigh, and with head in sir and tail curving proudly, they rush and plunge and rear, kicking and biting, stamping one on the other until the ground and horses are coy. ered with blood, and exhaustion of one forces a surrender and retreat. As I have said, the fickle mares march off with the conqueror at their head, while the defeated lags wearily behind. One of the most terrible battles that probably ever took place between ranch stallions =stirred near the borne ranch o the Little Miesonri Horse Farm in the spring of 1888, at the time when the several bnnohee or droves of horses were being driven in from ehe ranges for an account of stook and for the brand- ing of the young colts. It happened by the merest °hence that three droves memo in together with the stallions leading. Naturally the three joined, and at once erase the question of leadership. This could only be settled by a battle, and before a in tof form an Otto herdera could begin o y plan for sopareting them, the three stallions were engaged in fiercest battle. As described by. those who saw it, this battle was so savage and so bloody that it seemed certain that at least one of the combatante must be killed. It lasted a little more than twenty minutes, end when the " amass of battle" drifted away and the fight was done, a big grey Percheron called Napoleon was seen to }te the victor, and he it was that,with uplifted head and proudly curved tail, led the com- pany of mares and colts to the pastures, while the two defeated , ones marched together, like whipped Imre, dejectedly in the rear. In this instance, although the fight was an nnuenally desperate one, and all three horses were badly cat and torn, none of the three suffered more than tem. porary discomfort.-ltaeper's Weekly.

" C. I. Hoon & Co., Lowell, Mass. GENTLEMEN : For many years I have been suffering from catarrh, neuralgia and general debility. I failed to obtain any permanent relief from medical ad- vice, and my friends feared I would never find anything to cure me. A short time ago I was induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. At that time I was unable to walk, even a short dis- tance without feeling a Death -Like Weakness overtake me. And I had intense pains from neuralgia, in my head, back and Limbs, which were very exhausting. But I am glad to say that soon after I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw that it was doing me good. I have now taken three bottles and am entirely Cured of Neuralgia. I am gaining in strength rapidly-, and can take a two-mile walk without feel- ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so much from catarrh, and find that as my strength increases the catarrh decreases. I am indeed a changed woman, and shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar- saparilla for what it has clone for ice.

Permanent Theatrical Factor Daily In- creasing in Numbers. A good deal is said &boat the chortle girl in ono way and another, bat perhaps very little of the truth about her is really known. 01 the hundreds of theatre -goers who nightly fill the different playhouses, probably few of them give a thought to the girls of the chortle, beyond observing their uniformity of dress, singing and act. ing. And yet the chorus girl is a per- manent theatrical factor, increasing daily in numbers, and is entitled to as much consideration as any woman who does her work ooneoien- tionely and thoroughly, writes Hein. rich Conreid in Kato Field's Waehing. ten. She oome° en the stage in the scantiest of tights and the glitter of tinsel, with a blonde wig over her raven locks, her olive skin hidden ander pink powder, and she teems to be an ephemeral creature, intended only to flatter fel the glare of the footlighte. When theplay is over, the certain down and the lights out, she is forgotten by those who a few minutes before had vehemently applauded her. It is a mistake to think that the thorns girls all Dome from the middle and lower classes. Many of them are of excellent families, and are well ednoated. They become chortle girls for the purpose of acquiring the rudimenta of the professionhaving, of course, a talent for music. And ire m the chorus have come many of the moat prominent stars in comic opera. I could mention several who are now singing in principal parts who be• gun their theitraeal careers in the chorus. The girls are thoroughly drilled, end if they have a real talent for acting it soon becomes known, and a °hence is given them to show what they can do. The majority are bright, and I dare say that many of them conid any day go creditably through one of the "star" parts if galled upon,to do so, Many who apply for posi. tions are very badly etage.struck, and most. of them go npon the stage for the purpose of being self-supporting. It is generally a matter of neoeasity. Almost every well. educated girl has some knowledge of mesio, and, naturally, she turns to the stage, There are many Such instances that have: oome within my own observation, including several girls from the South, of most ex. oolient family.
