Their marriage day was at length
fixed for tho next 'Thursday fort-
night. Bishop L-- was to perform
the: ceremoey, immediately after
which we were to sot out for Ilick-
ory !lull.
Wallraven had intended to go im-
mediately to Paris, but Regina had
expressed her will that. they should,
according to the wish of tho old
gentleman and the time -honoree'
custom of Virginia, spend the hon-
eymoon in retirement, at the patri-
monial house of the bridogrooni,
Ilickory hall.
Wallraven hesitated, lookedd dis-
turbed, made— I know not what sort
of excuse for opposing this plan.
Regina good-humoredly- persisted
in her purpose.
Wallraven expostulated seriously.
Regina was charmingly immovable.
For the first time in their lives,
Wallraven decidedly vetoed her will,
and gave it his final determination,
for reasons of tho utmost moment,
1 to proceed to Paris. Wolfgang guvo
his decision in a firma, grave,
1 though affectionate tone; but itegina
became extremely offended. Finally
Wallraven bowed his will to heas,
and retired to his chamber with a
gloomy brow, to write and accept
i his father's invitation, and prepare
{ i then) to receive us.
Wolfgang remained in his room all
the forenoon; and so, when I wished
to speak to him—thinking that he
had surely long since finished his let-
' ter—
c I went to his door, and, accord-
; ing to our usual familiar and uncere-
monious habit with each other, with-
out rapping. entered his room.
. t Ho was so closely engaged in
'writing—so absorbed, in fact—that
1 he did not. perceive my entrance until
I had approached the sidle of his
chair, and had involuntarily Warn
that he had reached the fifth page of
a foolscap letter.
I spoke to him.
IIo started, thrust the letter into
tits writing -Desk, and turned around.
He looked paler. more gloomy, than
I had seen hien look for six months
or snore.
Ile told me that, in consegncnco of
the e'.lange of plan by which wo were
'to bo to Ilickory Hall, instead of
altoad, he had written, among other
!things, for his sister Constantin to
conte on and be present at Iris mar-
riage, inquiring of mo, with much
interest, how I supposed bliss Fair-
field would like Constantin.

tnit-<led him of an eng'a'gement he had
made to ride with lite that after-
noon. Ho smiled mournfully—said •
that It had escaped his memory. but
that he would soon be ready.

that 1Vullravcn's cheerfulness was

evil symptoms, however, were never
betrayed except in the absence of
Regina. In her presence he would ,
-always resolutely command himself,
and act it gay tranquillity which
was far from Itis real state of feel-
ing. I do not know whether Re -
gine penetrated his Dansk or not. If
so, she never permitted oto to Hero
that. rhe did.
She was certainly very much
pleased with the prospect of going
to Ilickory Hall, and of having
Constantin Wallraven for n brides-
maid and a traveling companion.
Smiling, she said t0 nae one day:
"Do you know. i'erdinand, what
makes me so wicked about this 'nat-
ter c going to hickory Hall? It is ,
to see That fine old Virginia gentle- -
roan, whom I shall love as a father,'

a second father. i do not care if
the old hull is tumbling down!
There is a certain prestige of old re-
spectability about that dilapidated
building which does not always sur- .'
round a smart -looking new tenement
however large and costly'."
Then turning to Wallraven, she
said:
"Such an absurd inistnke of your

that of supposing that i tiiuuild he

Consumption
q There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex-
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil-
lions of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
q From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT'S

and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cid liver oil in the
form of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

"Yes! Ah, Ferdinand! I shall

ter I shall have. 1 have li.gn lonely.
Ferdinand. 1 have borne within my
boson a cold heart, because I have
bad no mother or sister to keep it
warm. For some reason or other.
I never formed a female friendship
in my life. I never could bring my-
self to make advances to other
young ladies, and something within
oto repelled others from making ad-
vances to rno. I have, with all my
independence, needed that sisterly

the want of some gentle wotnan
friend whom I could love, whom I
could trust. Now, in the failure of
a sister of nay own, my husuand's
sister will become inexpressibly dear
to nye; at least, I feel as if it would
bo so. I think it will bo her own
fault if it is not so."
I wondered to hear Regina speak
so. It was tho first glimpse, with
onto exception, that I had ever had
of the heart wither her colt! bosom.
Yes, I wondered, until I remembered
that under the snow of earliest
spring the grain still germinates nn -
seen in the warm and genial soil.
That cvcn:ng, according to ap-
pointment, Mr. and Miss Wallraven
arrived.
In the bustle of their arrival, I
had little opportunity of making ob-
servations.
After supper, however, when we
were all—the three Wall•avens, Re-
gina and myself—assembled in our
' parlor, 1 had every facility for
studying any prospective relatives.
First, I saw that Regina was more
than satisfied with the new brother
and sister.
Constant Wallraven was nearly the
frac simile of l.olfgong—tho sante
tall, slight, elegant figure, tate sunk
haughty set of the head, the sprue
light -gray, blazing oyes, the same
wilderness of slightly curling, silky,
black hair, jet-black eyebrows, and
lung, black lashes. But he looked
stronger, older, and more sett led
thin Wolfgang. Ile looked as if at
some time, not far distant in the
past, he had been just such a cha.,-
tic assemblage of discordant ele-
ments as Wolfgang now was; and ns
if some mighty power had forcibly
subduer) the chaos, bringing eut of
it a world of harmony, beauty and
strength. 1Vithal, there 009 an ex-
pression of frankness, good -humor,
and health of mind and body in his
handsome face, which testified that
tho transforming power, whatever
it had beat had not crushed but dis-
ciplined hint. Only by the perfect
repose, perfect hartuony of (hese an-
tipathie elements of character be-
trayed in his features and complex-
ion, could one judge of the pre-exist-
ence of a disciplining experience. Ono
haw hitnowt
a u nn who,though
a an
still quite young, had gained the
great victory of his life; whose man-
ner of existence and work was hence-
forth defined, laid out, and well
understood.
I felt instinct ittely a high respect
for, and n strong attraction to Con-
stant Wallraeon, as to a soul more
exalted than my own.
Constanlia wtiy the same dark,
majestic, superbly-beautitul women
1 had seen her by night at Ilickory
Ilall. I do not know Chit my art-
ist taste was ever so highly gratified
as by ronparing these two young
girls, Constantin and iteginn, both
so perfectly beautiful, yet so op-
posite in their forms, features, and
complexions; yrs, and stype—though
both were of the queenly order. Co -
stunt Ws was n natural dignity;
itegina's a conventional stntelinese.
Upon the whole, we were all pleased
with each other, and it was on the
stroke of twelve before we parted
for the night.
Once or twke i observed an un -
won tcd thoughtfulness upon 1 h
usually clear, open countenance of
raw sister; but that warts so natural
muter the circumstances, that it
trade no impression on nay mina.
When 1 l;ad retired to my room,
however. and before I land time to
begin to take off my dress, T heard
n tap at lay door, and, thinking
that it was of courre Wolfgang, I
bade hint' come in. The door open-
ed, and my sister entered, and sank
softly down in h er usual sent, near
my dressing -table. 1 lucked at her
indpuirin;ely, anxiously. The stately
gayety which had (listing -Welled Iter

quite gone, and the thoug'htfulra•ss

PERbIANENT FORESTS.
The Question Will he Disco:sod at
the Forestry Convection.
Tho question whether our forests
aro to be permenent is one of spedel
interest to Canada as the prit'u.c
wealth and public revenue derive.!
therefrom has always been largo
and they have been the support of
large numbers of our people. The
permanency of the forests depends on
several considerations. '1'o argue
that forest should be 'continued use
such on the rich agricultural lands
in the eastern Protinces, on tiro
prairies of the West or the fruitful
valleys of British Columbia would be
an absurdity. 'These lands aro bd..-
ter fitted for the purpose to which
they are being devoted.
The principle on which the ques•
tion should be considered is laid
down clearly in the following par-
agraph by a scientific forester who is
also a practical lumberman:—
"Every foot of national soil should
bo devote(' to that product' under
which it pays best; hence forests
should never disappear from land on
which conservative forestry is the
most remunerative use to which soil
may ho put. A national platform
ought invariably to contain thl.i
plank. Lune so described is called
'absolute forest lurid.' "
In every province of the Dominion
there are largo tracts of rocki,
sandy, or otherwise poor land on
which forests aro growing or from
which they huvo been burnt or cut
off. These (ands produced good tim-
ber but are not mineral lands or
agricultural burls. '1 hey fitly fill
the description of "absolute forest
land" It 19 011 such lands if at all,
that the forests should be perma-
nent.
'''his is ono of the questions which
will no doubt bo discussed at tho
Forestry Convention which has been
culled by the Dominion Premier to
meet in Ottawa in January next,
and it may be expected that the dis-
cussion ui11 throw considerable light
on it. It may be worth while how-
ever to look at sone•, of the (a:ts
that affect the problem.
In European countries, sects as Per-
t -fumy, the forests are found un moun-
tainous or poor land. The forests
of Germany are situated, nt le tel.
in the largest compact areas, in the
mountains of that country, where
seventy or eighty per cent of the
land is under forest. Besides these
the largest areas aro the sanely
heaths in Iianover and East and
West Prussia, so that really once
about ten per cent. of the forests are
growing on good agricultural la•.d.
These for the must part are situated
in river valleys where the land is
subject to floods. ,l gristliest pro-
cc,y is however taking place whereby
the Prussian State especially is buy-
ing up poor, sandy hand that is go-
ing out of cultivation and planting

The greatest riddle which fees sten

Mr. Croft !fall, an Etiglishutan, has
made an ie:teresting discovery in this;
connection. flu has shown that t.io
destructive action of a ferment is re-
versible, given certain comfit 4)113.
One ferment will break up a certain
substance, while another will rebuild
it.
Old ago is brought about by tho
action of a series of destructive far•
nuvstations. It is only necessary to
bring into action a reversible series,
and old age twill bo prevented. Per-
petual youth will result from the an-
tagonistic action of these rival fer-
mentations. Advanced biologists
hope it will bo possible to manufti -
turo life itself.
This is the most remarkable exper-
iment of our tines, and we may hear
of its success I:efut'o we aro mousy
years older. By the discovery of re-
versibility in fermentation, it may
be possible to turn a majestic oak
into a small tree, and eventually into
RIA acorn, while a full-grown ratan
might be turtle(' back into a youth,
a Roy, and finally a baby.
A GROWN MAN Al' FIFI'EFN.
Quito the other way about aro the
experiments of Professor Herman, of
the University of Michigan. lio
states that he can take a child nn 1
snake it into a full-grown person
within a period of fifteen years. This
growth is caused by the action of
properly directed currents of Glee-
tricity.
Dr. A. L. Kuliapko, of Moscow, is
at present engaged in important ex-
periments which aro exciting gront
interest in medical circles. '''hese ex-
periments are being undertaken in
connection with a process for the re
animation of the heart.
During a recent lecture I)r. Kuliap-
ko experimented upon the hearts of
rabbits which had been killed recent-
ly. In every case a regular pulsatictt
was obtained in the presence of the
audience. 3Ioreover, it is declared.
he succeeded in maintaining the nor-
mal pulsation for periods of five or
six days in some instances.

1)r. Kuliapko's latest demonstra-
tion was with the heart of a child
who had died in the hospital thirty-
six hours previously. It was some
little time before any effect wise
unused; then tho heart was seen to
ehriuk somewhat. Gradually it e>c-
minded to a normal condition, and
then it commenced regular functions.

according, to Sir M. Foster, member

HUMAN VIVISECTION,
When the nerve was divided there
was loss of nU>vetllellt a11(I loss of
sensation, and aiter a whits tho
nerve united, and there was return of
movement and sensation. In experi-
ments on animals, he said, thee
could judge of the return of move-
ment, but it was difficult to judge of
the return of sensation.
:1 friend of his had a nerve in his
arm divided in order that he night
study the return of sensation. 1fo

only inconvenience for a short time;

was brief. 'That was an ordinsry
