tion of experience. •
"I was aequainteil with that lady," said
Mi; Winthrop rather stziily, "She was a
kind-hearted, good creature ; and an origi-
nal too, like our friend Mr. Shncoe,"
"Ali, now, what do yon think of Mr.
Simcoe?" inquired Martha, delighted at this
opportunity of introducing the great Bmek-
mere question.
"I think him an excellent fellow," said
Mr. Winthrop promptly. He was so kind as
to call upon ma-, although 1 came here as a
total stranger. Byaheeby, can you tell me
what is the meaning of that flume, word
that is printed on his card?"
"011, Tiddliwinks?" saidMarthelaaghing.
"That is the house where he lives. Some of
our lirackmere folks are a little pretentious,
and call their mansions be grand names ;
and Mr. Simcoe wishes to reprove them, I
fancy, by giving his own dwelling so absurd
a title, though it is really one of the best in
the town."
"Dear me 1" said Mr. Winthrop. "I am all
the better pleased that he has been so good
as to invite me to it. I dislike pretension
exceedingly. One of the things that so de-
lighted nle, and., indeed, all who met your
charming relative at Shingleton, was her
perfect naturalness. So many young ladies
of the -present day are disfigured by affecta-
tion, while Miss Denham (we all remarked)
had not a particle of it"
" Now, that's very true,' said Martha
emphatically. She was pleased to hear a
theory of her own (not uncommon, however,
among ladies of her time of life) corroborated
by a gentleman of Mr. Winthrop'sexuerieuee,
and she was more than pleased to hear her
darling so judiciously praised. They were
now drawing near the little terrace, the
view from which—and under that starlit
sky it was really most beautiful—excited
Mr. \Vinthrop's admiration ; whereby he
made another advance in his companion's
good opinion, for she was exceedingly
proud of what she called her "look -out."
•"I often wish that one of those painters,
who immortalise so many places that are in
no need of their patronage, would come down
and paint poor Brackinere," said Martha
"I cannot promise it immortality,"replied
Mr. Winthrop, smiling; " but I paint in a
small way myself, and have endeavoured to
do justice to your beautiful town. If you
will allow ine, I will send. over my portfolio
for your inspection tomorrow morning."
"Oh,' but won't, you bring it yourself ?"
saidMarthagood-naturedly.—'"Mabel, dear"
-for the other two had come up by this
time—" "Mr. Winthrop here is a great artist,
though he pretends to be very humble about
it, and has been putting Brackmere upon,
canvas."
But Martha's attention was fixed upon the
advancing pair. Like a steam -tug with a
fair ship in tow, Mr. Simcoe waspanting to-
wards them, closely followed by an elegant
stranger, with a crush -hat under his arm,
which divided with himself the admiration i
of the Brackmere audience
"My dear Miss Barr, let me introduce to
you my friend, Mr. Winthrop of Wapshot, i
whom the reputation of our baths and ex-
cellent sea -air— Ah, Miss Denham, you
know, it seems"—
" I have had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Denham," said Mr. Winthrop, with an il-
lustrative glance at her mourning apparel,
" other—and happier days."
He shook hands with Mabel warmly, but'l
with great respect, and seated himself by
her side. The room seemed to spin round with
her, as the audience welcomed the appear-
ance of the Patriarch in comic costume with
encouraging plaudits. Her brain was dazed
for the moment, but through her pained,
and confused senses a conviction smote her
with all the force of a presentiment, that
with this moment which she had dreaded
so long, and striven to avert so vainly, had
arrived her fate. She gazed on Mr. Winthrop
-with his mournful smile and sympathetic
voice, like some frightened but submissive
bird, who. caught in. the crafty snare, per-
ceives the fowler corning.
While the Patriarch quavered his foolish
ditty, like a -doomed 'man jesting at death,
her neighbour addressed her in an under
tone, which, thoughso respectful and so.
full of earnest tenderness, made her shiver.

A romantic wedding was gnietly. solemn-
ized in St. Thomas' Church, Hamilton, last
week. Everyone knew Miss Elizabeth
Mercer, step daughter of Sheriff 1FIclp;ellar,
Miss Memel.. formerlyresitied in Guelph, and
was at ono time the reigning belle of the
place. While visiting in Barrie some years
ago Miss Mercer met a Mr. 'Townley, then
connected with the railway there. Townley
fell in love with her, proposed, and was ac-
cepted. When the Canadian Pacific was
built through to the Pacific, Mr. Townley
went to Vancouver, where he is now in the
emplo rof thatrailway. The en ageme•it con -
tinned, and Mr Townley paid several visits
to his fiancee. .A day last spring -was
gamed for the wedding and preparations
were made, but owing to the death of Miss
Mercer's sister it was postponed until this
month. Townley furuislsed a house in Van-
couver and made every preparation for the
reception of his bride. Miss Townley, sister
of the prospective groom, came out from
England to be present at the ceremony. The,
bride w•as to meet her at the station and the
two were to journey to Banff, where the
groom was to meet them and their wedding
was arranged to take place. On Wednesday
Iast_Miss Mercer spent the day in bidding
her many friends farewell and she forwarded
her wedding presents to Mr. Townley's ad-
dress in Vancouver. In the afternoon she
met Herbert Muir Morton. Mr. Morton
and Miss Mercer are members of the St.
Thomas• church choir. They attended a
wedding at St. Thomas' church 111 the after-
noon and coming from the church after the
ceremony some one threw a handful of rice
over Miss Mercer. Perhaps the shower of
rice hadits effect on her. At any rate when
Mr. Morton asked her to be his wife that
same afternoon. at 4 o'clock she did not. an.
swer at once, but demanded time to think it
over. It was all so sudden. Just one hour
and a half later Mr. Morton heard the words

Aunt Sally's lamps.
Children sometimes tell the truth at most
inopportune moments, mutt, to the discom-
fort of their Odors, writes a correspondent,
who relates that a lady of her acquaintance,
whose home was charmingly managed, lead
two rougislt, irrepressible boys. One after -
220011 this lady had company. She w'as par-
ticularly anxious to produce a fawn 11)10
impression, and took great pains for this
purpose. Sboprepared an elaborate supper.
The guests and family were gathered about
the tea -table, when one of the boys surprised
his mother by exclaiming, during a hill in
the conversation, "Tell you what ma, eve
don't have such a supper's this very often,
do we ?" There MILS a momentary pause ;
the hostess blushed, and then said with a
laugh, "No, Johnnie, this is a company sup-
per." The reply and the little laugh pre-
veuted any feeling of awkwardness. Atter
supper the company retired to the parlor
where the lamps were lighted; and here that
artless boy fired another shot at his mother's
peak armor. "0 ma 1" he cried, "You've
borrowed Aunt Sally 'snew lamps, ain't you?"
If annoyed, the mother did not betray it ;
but snaking a smiling grimace to her guests,
she said, "It's no use trying to shine in bor-
rowed. plumes with my boys.

The Gazette du Tezel: gives some interest-
ing particulars of the ascent of Elburz by M.
Pastoulchow, This Russian gentleman was
accompanied by six Cossacks. When they
reached the easternsummit, at an altitude
of 17,514 feet, they felt violent pains in the
head and suffered from malaise. They slept
for several hours, and metered themselves
with two eups of hot tea, They then pro-
ceeded towards the loftiest summit, but
were unfortunately caught in a snowstorm,
which compelled them to halt. They slept
again for a few hours, and on waking found
themselves buried in the snow. At this
point three Cossacks broke down, but 141.
Pastoukhow withthe three others succeeded
in reaching the most elevated point, 18,470
feet high. Here he erected a flag, took sev-
eral photographs, anti made a topographical
plan of the eastern and western cones. The
two - 831111111118 are 001111-o58d of the hollow
cones of extinct craters. The orifice of the
eastern crater is 150 feet large, and :that of
the western 250 feet. The western summit
is covered with perpetual. snow.
