Unknown Heroes,
The world is full of hero worship, and
many are the fortunate ones we honor and
revere. Some won by knightly deeds on bat-
tleeld, some by splendid prowess in saving
life when periled by fire or flood—by every
form of daring bravery or noble effort the
list is welled. And a quick and generous
appreciation is awarded all such deeds of
exceptional heroism.
All heroic acts, however, do not come to
the light of public) approval. • There are un-
k.nown and unnoticed heroes and heroines in
private life whose names are net destined to
be "sung in numbers ;" whose quite lives
flew on in uneventful Balinese.

resigns the ambitious plans of youth, with all
their vaguely splendid possibities, to care for
his aged parents, is an -obligatiran. perhaps

brothers and comrades winning fortune and
renown that might be his, is a hero of no
humble type.
The girl who, putting aside her happy
dreams of the future, dedicates her life to

sister, making their lives bright with the

the earlier portiene of this lordly pile erected
by Geoffrey de Clinton.
'1( ears afterwards the handsome etruoture
was sold to Henry III. and was greatly en-
larged and fortified by SIMOD de Montford,

I had spent se -vocal weeks at the cosy Iltile
town of Stratford -on -Avon, but feeling that
I mob soon tear myself away from iv, I
decided ere I left to visit Kenilworth.
My quaintly oak -panelled bedroom at the
hostelry known as, the " Shakespeare " was
"the Romeo and Juliet room"— a name suf.
deiently romantio in itself to favor the
wildest dretoh of imagination.
In thinking of Kenilworth, Sir Walter
Seott's magic clesoripticin had already thrown
a wizard's charm around me. All kinds of
quaint, kaleideseeme-like fancies flitted
through my brain and before I had beheld
the ruins of the onoe stately 'node I could
picture "ye prinoeleye pleasure" of the"royal
entertainments given by the Eerl of Leicester
to good Queen Bess.

There, too, was the unfortunate Edward

the buildings that remained were erected.

I crossed a rustics wooden bridge spanning

Broken on the Wheel, But Survived.
In 1770 a naars warkarrested at Bourdeaux,
France, for highway robbery. A coach was
dragging its weary way along the poor roads
of the neighborhood, when suddenly a
man sprang out from -behind a tree and be-
fore the driver could recover his aelf-posses-
sion, the horses had all been hamstrung. It
was the work of a moment to hurl the
driver from his seat, arid to terrify the
passengers, three women and a boy, into
submission. Every arbicle of value in
the vehicle was stolen, and the thief then
disappeared. An alarm being given, a man
named Henri Pouchard was arrested on
suspicion. Be was positively identified
by the coachman and the paseengers,
and was speedily convicted. He begged to
prove an alibi, and averred that he was fifty
miles off when the robbery was committed,
Butno adjournment of any kindwas granted.

loosed him and sent him to a surgeon of

Aber having completed and embellished
it at a fabulous expense, the earl of Leicester
then entertained hid royal mistress and her
whole court for seventeen days, with more
splendid pageants and costly magnifieence
than had ever been beheld at thab time. The
expense of these entertainments ooet not less
than 55,000 per day.
As I looked down from my ancient seat
upon the ivied battlemenb, I oould, in faney,
see the hundrede and hundreds of brave
nobles and gallant courtiers assembling bere-
headed near the massive gateway, and in
imagination I heard the loud and joyful
musics of golden trumpets sending a right

who, if his story speaks true, coquetted rather
more than became her title of "Maiden
Queen" with this lover, whose soaring ambit

Tricky Lawyers.

amnion, has now some rather more unpleas-

I hailed with delight a narrow mossy
pathway across the fields to the castle and
found that admission to the ruins could be
obtained by payment of a small sum. Am
cordingly I hastened to tbe entrance on the
northern side, walking underneath the splen-

Robert Dadley, Earl of Leices'ter and bear-
ing the Dudley insignia, dated 1571, sup.
posed to have been removed front the Privy
Chamber.
It wok with no little pleasure that I
reached the Green Sward, originally the
"Base Court," where I got a very fine view
of the main buildings. Those glorious old
ruins, underneath which I then stood
were in many parts merely held together
by the green twining arms of the graceful
wild ivy ;and so gaily ornamented were
they by many gold colored lichens that they
formed one of the most superb memorials
of baronial splendour I had met with in
England.
Turning westward into the Inner Court I
learned that the buildings I had read of,
erected by Henry VIII. and Sir Robert
Dudley, wlatch once formed the eastern aide
of the equaret had wholly dieappeared.
Upon my right hand I saw the formidable
"Keep," consisting of four strong towers,
connected by walle of an immense thickness
and having many windows or rather loop-
holes, alas 1 so sadly suggestive of "stranger
pate of banishment."
At the top of vhe south eastern tower I
obeerved the site of the Dial of the Great
Clock, the hands of which always stood ab
the hour of banquet during Elizabeth'e vi-
sits.

the arched entrance of the "Keep," now
known as Juhus Caesar's Tower, which y as

It was a very significant utterance .of
the Boston " Herald," that the idea of
depriving Boston and. other New England
points of the ase of Canadian railways was
the thin edge of the wedge to split up and
destroy the bristle, of commerce and menu -
factures of New Eughincl. Such a statement
would have provoked ridicule 29 years ago.
Now, however, so radical have been the
changes, that the powerful commercial
organizations of Chicage, Minneapolis,
Boston, Portland, etcs, , are up in arms against
any attempt to weaken Canadian railways,
as carriers of goods from points in the United
States through Canada to other points in
the United States. We have demonstrated
that we are fully provided with all the
appliances to do our own export and Wiper's
trade without the intervention ot United
States railways, and are prepared to do the
business of the United States with Asia as
well. In a word, we have proved our
ability to make ourselvee completely in-
dependent of our neighbors.--(Ottema Cit-
