(Cemciudeci) It struck me at once that Bettie sup- posed that after this relapse he might remain a cripple, and that Sir Albany's answer was designed to snake him aware that not even such a life as that was possible to him any more. Until then I do not think I bad realized. that there was absolutely no hope, and slow, bit- ter tears began to drop upon my hands.

".But I've done no work—I'm not tired," sitid. Bertie. "It won't be rest o me." "Rest doesn't mean idleness. The best rest is the work one loves, and strength to do it. Why shouldn't you look forward to that, my child'? Here you couldn't have worked ; you could only have lain still and. suffered." "Yes," said Bertie, and he was si- lent.

I could not boar it any longer ; the reference to his dear old boyish ways, to the little things he used to do for me Was unendurable, I went out of the room, and, like losepin sought for a place where I might weep: He lived through the night, and in the early n'iorning the end eame.

"Theyare a good-hearted people, it must bo owned," he said, when he eame homo and told of it, "but they are un- reasonable. What they would not let me do before because it was right and beneficial, they will let mo do now be- cause I tun in affliction. Could any- thing be more unreasoning 2" I said that I thought the concession proved a degree of regard and sym- pathy thas ought to be very -valuable to him, but could not refrain from adding at the same time I had. heard that Sir Albany had expressed himself very strongly in fever of such a measure at the vecent rent -dinner. My father shook his head. "It was hardly probable," he said ; "Sir Albany is opposed to ine on all points, and, in fact, to all authority ex- cept his own in parish. My dear, do not look at me with such. eyes ; 1 am not ungrateful for his recent kindness —Heaven forbid-- but circumstances then forced us into terms of intimacy which cannot be maintained. Wo dif- fer toe much on all imrortant subjects for any real community of feeling, It must be evident to youlthot Sir Aloany feels this as stroggly as:I, or else how is it that he never comes near us now 2" That was a griestion to which I had no answer, though it had many times occurred to myself, and I had exhaust- ed my ingenuity in endeavoring to find runt, It did ing so closely united with us in our sor- oorv, after sharing our watching and holding our dying Bertie in. his arms, after standidg as one of us beside his open grave, Sir Albany should not feel sufficient interest in us to come some- times to see how we were bearing that heavy depression. which is apt to suc- ceed a great shock, aud from which it seemed that all the parish knew my father to be suffering. He had been to the Vicarage only since the funeral and, though he had not since then been stationary at Treleaven, but had been visiting ; so we hoard, amongst his friends, he had been at home often enough and long enough for the oc- casional absences to afford no sufficient reason for his neglect. And yet could not persuade myself that those long weeks of persistent kindness had been followed by an abso- lute indifference to us—indeed Sir Al- bany's manner once, when I met him, in the village seemed te forbid such a conclusion ; and nurse told me that if ever she fell in with him when she was out with the children his inquiries res- pecting my father and me were always at owe warm ancleager. Stillethis only mitere his avoidance of the house a greater puzzle, and it worried me, and. even—my spirits be- ing broken by what had recently occur- red—between at times a source of ab- solute trouble. He had been so kind and had made me so grateful, and had helped so to smooth my poor Bertie's pas loge over filet dark and doubtful road he had had to travel so early, that I could not think.of one without. recall- ing the other. "Sir Albany is gone abroad again, I hear," said my father at luncheon one day towards the end of March. "Gone abroad And without even bid- ding us good hy 1" I could not help exclaiming, though I did not generally care to discuss Sir Albany's conduct with my father.

But I wish she had not suggested sueb speculation to me, for the next week went by heavily. At last one day I gathered a heap of spring fleevers, and carried them to the churchyard to lay on Bertie's grave. It was an office of love that I perform- ed very often, and a sort of gloom had come over me that mule it peculiarly congenial. I stopped at the gatrof the church- yard to look down the valley and note all the signs of early spring, which were peculiarly associated in my mind with Bertie—he always loved them so. It was the beginning of April, showery and mild. Masses, of white cloud were in the sky, but the sun was shining. The village roofs peeped out amid the hlossoming orchards, and farther off, on the lowest ,ridge of the bills the gaeat gray house of Treleaven was backed by the end of an almost indis- tinct rainbow. The scene was full of beauty and peace. How Bertie would have loved to look upon it, I thought ! winding amongst trees into the vi The day was very still, and thenia•ogaed, was almost deserted—only a single fi- gure was visible advancing along it. I stood in sort of dream, with my flow- er,basket in my hand, thinking of Ber- tie, and watching the solitary "roving form. All tit once I felt ,,,anastirill go through me, and with gthe thought of to be associated that of ano er who had been good both to him and to inee But that I knew it to be impossible, I :should haVe believed that I recognized the walk, the carriage of the sbouldeee,, the poise of the head. knew-L.a swing of the walking -stick at, some tall dock or thistle in the hedge as he hur- ried along. I could not be mistaken— it was Sir Albany Treleaven. In two minutes more he had come with me. ''They told me where you were go- ing." he said, as I shook hands with. him, almost mechanically, in my great surprise. "I may come too, may I not ?" For answer I turned silently into the churchyard. " I thought you were gone abeoe.d,' I said, at last, as we walked slowly up the path. "I have been abroad," Sir Albany swered, " but I reached home again this morning. How beautifully the turf has grown!" " 'We keep it well watered," I said. We had reached the shady corner- of the churchyard wlere Bertie lay under the grass, with the trees bursting into leaf around him. Not all the mingled feelings that had been in my heart the moment ,before could prevent the thought of him' from monopolizing it for a little while as I stood by his narrow green resting -place. We were both sileet, and at last I sorted my flowers and sprinkled them upon the young turf. " I want you to come with me a little way," said Sir Albany, when I had emptied my basket. I knew what he meant. He had mourned with me over my dead, and he wanted me to nose and stand with him. for a little while beside his own. Not far from Bettie's grave hat where there were fewer trees to inter- rupt the scene, grey granite announced the resting -plan of " Soffrey Treleaven, only son of Sir Albany Treleaven, ef Treleaven, aged six years," with the motto " they shall be even ae the an- gcils." The name of the mother who had so heartlesely .left the poor little bey tp die uncherislied her care did not appear in the inscription, " I had hitt buried here in the open," said Sir Albany, presently. " I could not have the bedy that had held. each a bright, jeyotts little soul as his shut in the vault with .all tbo weariness and guilt of his Middle-aged aneeetors." "It ie aS pretty 'a graSte• as there is 1874, maned $o 'eluset, it wasn't worth while to hate when we should both be in the grave. so soon ; wrote to her thet fergkieve liee—so far, at leest, that -I. ne longer wiehed puniehment to fell npon hoi*-ehat I would 0'04 pray God te giVe her 6114 happin.ese gs might be compatible with R deep eense ef what sh,o haddone, den't think 1 worded it hardIY—I'm afraid my heart woe harder than my weeds.

" am very glad of that," I said. "Yes," he said, " I am glad for her sake, grid glad also for my own. If she had never made the admission—never exonerated me from that old charge of tyranny and crtielty—I might have hesitated now, when I am free to do so, to ask another woman to fell the place sho deserted, to =ow that spring -time of life which she blighted in my youth. There is only one women," iseq added, after a pause, turning and facing nee as he spoke, " that I should ever wish to ask or trnst to make my happiness again—and that is you, Nelly ? What can you say to me ? You ought to know me well enough ; nor. do I think you can be altogether taken by sur- prise.

Of course I had wondered, bat I could not at the minute say so. His mann-. had been so quis t, our conver- sation bad boon oo entirely conoerhea with the dead and the past, as to put nurse's inuencloes, and any suspicions. that had ,ever recurred to myself, en- tirely...out ,ofeeny thoughts.

He drew a long breath, and his coun- tenance changed. Thaok &averse you were jesting 1" he cried. 0 I thought you were in ear- nest, and you can't think what a pang it gave.

I did love him enough, not only to vesture, but to feel sure of sueceeding ; and I saw no geed in hiding from him what felt.

C Glued tei the Spot, We shall never forget that eYening we spent at Magruder's years ago. We admired Miss Magruder, and we went around to see her. It was summer- time and she sat upon the piazza. The carpenter had been there that day, glueing up the rustic chairs on the porch, so we took a seat on the step in front of Miss Magruder, where we could gaze into her eyes and drink her smiles. It seems probable that the carpenter must have upset his glae- :pot on the spot whore we sat, for after enjoying Miss Magruder's remarks for a couple of hours, and drinking several of her smiles, we tried to rise for the par - pose of going home, but found that we were immovably fixed. to the step. Tim: Miss Magruder : 'Don't be in a hurry,' and we toldher we believed we wouldn't.

When Mr. Benjuallin Wog, the ills - trials painter, was about fifteen years of age, Ito was confined to his bed by a fever, and remaired. there 8:14veial. days; the window shot ers being close& his eyes acquired the po wer of expisosion, and. he at times observed living objects in the scenery before the window, mov- ing as it were, in appartional around his bed rgom. It appeared extraordin- ary to him that small figures of men, cows, pigs, and fowls, should traverse the wall and ceding of his room ; and yet the act appeared, to his organs .of vision, too unquestionable to doubt or to accoont for, upon the ground of emotions caused by his illness. He re- la,ted the circumstances to his friends, who geriously feared that his intellects were impaired, and sent for a physician who declared that he was in a favorable way of recovery ; he had no reason to. infer that the mind of young West was unsound, although he coda not but al- low that it appeared singular that objects should be present to his sight which other persons did ntt see, and therefore he perseribed for him a com- posing deaught. Yolang West discover- ed that, upon his covering with his figure a diagonal hole in the window shutter, the visionary objec s disap- peared, which first caused his mental fears to subside, sensible that there must, therefore, be ROMs natural con- nection between the objects themselves and their eeptessentation on the walls of Ina apartment, Upon perforatin a paler window sletitter horizontally, he produced a representation on the wall of the objects on the otherl side of the etreet ; and when he was fully reavere ed from his indisposition, he made a box, having on his sides porferated, and with the reflective qualities of. mir-' ror ho produeed ncamera, obscura."

Farm- er. Freezing Fish for Sumner Use In Russia they allow some hinds of fish to freeze in a certain amount of Wat- er, which they store the same as ice ; and in summer they cut off a piece of ice with one or more fish inside to sell. It might be kept for years in this way without changing the nature of the fish. the same thing could be done heie, not only fish, with game. The process is very simple. ltabbits are skinned, drawn, cleaned, etc., as for cooking. A little white gravel, (the - same as is used. in gravel walks) is put on the bottom of a tub ; a dozen, more or less, of rabbits, are placed on the sand, leaving a little space between each ; then the tub is filled with water until the rabbits are covered, and is put out for the night. The following morn- ing it is frozen cold. The tub is then snrned. up side down, and. the cake of ice, with the rabbits or birds in it, is placed in the ice -house, and kept as long as desirable. Wheneeeer wantedsnaesog_ more rabbits ara cut off and tisea.
