Frank Eenf ela stood beside a couch, on which lay extended the figure of his sister, on the evening succeeding the day last mein timed. He had been suddenly recalled in consequence of the dangerous illuess of his mother, whose cries, in the height of Jelin- ium, from an adjoining room, ,pierced his heart, though they failed to bring any ex- pression into the face of the marble form ou which he gazed ; for Mary was past all earthly emotion—she was dead. Days passed, and still Hester raved on, watched and cared for by the husband she had so dearly loved, and the son she had so wronged_ At length a change came, which they hoped might be for the better --first a glinemeirng of reason, then a gradual recognition of those about her ; but the mental shock, joined togreat bodily prostration, on learning that her daughter was dead, which they had tried in vain, by every gentle fiction, to keep from her know- ledge,was- too great for the little strength remaining ; and though her mind continued clear, itbecame evident to thele that her days wererumbered. It was during one of these latter days that, calling Doctor Thornton and her son to her side, she with much pain and diffi- culty revealed to them likewise the secret wbiell had burned hi her heart so long, and recounted to Fronk all the incidents with which the reader is already acegnainted, \. - 1 do not know, my son, whether your father still lives.

Do not start ; what I sais true, although, when last we met, fearful that a desire to right him night weigh more with yore than the wish you expressed to repair the injury done, to rue, I was tempt- ed to conceal his existence. Enclosed is the certificate of his birth. Thelast request of his mother is that yeu will do him the justice which she has so wickedly withheld. That God may pardon nee, and forgive you, is the earnest prayer of Her peace was made with all, and in the sombre twilight, with the gentle loving heart of old restored to her, Hester was passing away. "Hark 1 did yon not hear a voice calling me ? It is my Mary's I see her now ; she is going to bear me upwards on her bosom. Dearest husband, 1 may not stay—Liss me depart. Frank, my dear dutiful son, forgive me ; let tie clasp you once morn," and in that close embrace her last sigh was breathed. Not many weeks after the events we have narrated, Frank Benfield presented himself at General Allenby's to give his mother's message to Lady Helen, and entreat her to put oft' his dismissal until he had had time to make int uuiry father. respecting his The only clue he possessed was so slight, that how to follow it had been a matter of anxious thought. He had determined to consult his kind friend the General, and as he drove to the house the thought struck hint that Mardon,ehichwas one of his father's names, hadalso been lady Helen's—that it was at any rate a strange coinoidence, if it should lead to nothing—andelaldon was not a very common name. Lady Helen received hien coldly enough, though her glance softened when she notic- ed his dress of deep mourning, and learnt from hitt that he had been absent attending the deathbeds of his mother and sister. "My mother, Lady Helen, desired me to give you this, and to tell you " — Lady 'Helen was looking with a puzzled air at the card he had handed to her—" and to tell you that the dying blessing of the wo- man to whom you yourself gave that card, and whom you once succoured was yours. I see you have no recollection of the occur- rence to which she alluded. When you were Lady Helm: Malden, do you remember, on a journey from London about five -and - twenty years ago, observing in the porch of a way -side inn a young girt ?" "I do, I do—I remember all now. I as- sisted her with a trifling sum, which she un- willingly accepted as a loan, and to satisfy her I gave her this card with my address. I see, I see ; she paid back the money a few months afterwards, when she found her husband. It was he she was going in search off." " My mother did not find him, Lady Helen. You were not the only good Samar- itan Providence cast in her lonely way. An elderly lady, whom she met in the mail, took her home, and assisted her in her sorrel for her husband—my father—which proving fruitless, after seven years she became the wife of Doctor Thornton believing her first husbandtobe dead. Thirteen years ago they found themselves face to face, and -do not think harshly of her—my little sister was dearer to her than life., Concealing my birth from him, she entered with him into a sol- emn compact to preserve secrecy on thesub- ject of their marriage, It was a voluntary proposal on his part, to repair in a degree the wrong hehad done her ; for, Lady Helen, entangled in an attachment formed previous- ly to meeting my mother, he had intention- ally deserted her." "A..sad story, ,Major Benfield. Poorlrl I remember het well -she was very beauti- ful ; and your father, is he since dead ?" '" That I do not know. Benfield en old Rcas my; another's name --this is his, the only clue I have to him "—and drawing the copy of Milton from his pocket, he opened and pre sented it to Lady Helen. He Was about toproceed with what he had to say, When, looking up, he was shock- ed to see her bee. deadlypale. She stretched her hand out feebly for a bottle of. essence that stood` on a table near, and, closing her eyes, tnotionr9 !lira to he silent. When preses,tl,,r color returned to her cheek, and she was able to command herself sufficiently, she sat up, and in a law clear voice addressed hilt thus:— " If \If your statement is true, you are the son of my first cousin, Lord Redland, and your„ proper apPellation is Viscount Mal- ” Oh madam, my father is then alive you can direet rue to him," cried her listener joyfully. "Yes, he is living down in shire, on one of his properties." She closed her eyes again and then Frank saw the white lid quiver, and tears struggle from beneath the long lashes. "I see it all now," she murmured—" poor George—Frank," she said tastily, as if to speakbofore the old pride gained the mastery over her gentler feelings, " when ou have seen and told hien a,11, and that his cousin once Helen Malden, forgives him, and prays for his forgiveness in return Young man, I was the woman whom your father loved —I have been the cause of all his and your. poor mother's unhappiness.

But one great joy stood outfromall other ---Alice might yet be his ; and this reflection. was uppermost in his mind, while he travel- led, as quickly as steam could take him, to thear h c toff a ou t 1? n, ry where Lord Redland 1 still i led his hermit hf . . e It is needless to describe what passed be- tween the father aynd son. All substantiated and proved to their mutual happiness, they returned together to London, and a joyful meeting and reconciliation took place at Sir William ,. ills i m Allenby's. the world r i Id 1 ad of , course, plenty to say when Lord Redland introduced his son, and no little scandal fell on poor $eater. But she was beyond the range of calumnytitan - and as for the old Doctor, r to t he was not of theworld, , nor dad lie live in it, so the tongue of malice did not reach him. It was cnrhous to xnark how this gay world, whose taupe wagged so busily, struggled and fought for the favour of the young Viscount, and the vexation which the announce - anent of his engagement to Alice, and sub- sequent ,marriage, caused to all its votaries. It failed, however, to disturb the happiness of any of the parties concerned, and at length the great world found some fresher subject TO occupy it, and left our frienc;: alone. Lord Redland did not long survive Hester ; lie lived Wee() two of his grandehil- drenborn, and then, amidst the tears entire - gets g is of his is fahiiily and friends, joined her, WO may hope, in the better land for which he hadinr.nyyeers been preparing. There are few people so happily mated. as Frank and Alice, and it is one of their greatest pleasures to visit and cheer the good old Doctor, who having long given up practice, resides near the spot where his dear ones lio buried, waiting to be called hence. Sir William and Lady Allenby are quite of one mind now on the subject of their ron- in -law, and if there is a fault which grand - wartime, in her lectures to Alice's little - daughters, particularly condemns, it is that of pride. [vie step] W1RELET'S Two voters in Kingston, who caught cold in going to the polls, have since died. The Grand Duke Sergius, brother of the Czar, has been appointed Governor of Mos- cow. Lady Dilke is convinced her husband will yet be able to clear up the charges against him. Mr. Justin McCarthy declares that the democracy of England is on the side of Ire- land. The dead -lock in the Kingston City Coun- cil still continues, and the suggestion has been made to hold a new election.. The friends of the late Secretary Windom, of the United States Treasury, have pre- sented his widow with a gift of $50,000. Archbishop Fabbe has suppressed the order know as " Work of Souls in Purga- tory and the Conversion of Infidels." Prince Bismarck has accepted the Candi. dature for Gestemunde in the Reichstag - His return to political life is causing uneasi- ness in Government circles. Mr. H. B. Spotton, of the Barrie Col- legiate Institute, has been appointed head - minister of the new Harbord street Collegi- ate Institute in Toronto. Pure air Rather than Medicine. It isn't drugs or medicine that is needed at all ; it is plenty of the purest air that can be had. Open the windows and the doors, clear out the cellar and ventilate it thoroughly, remove the dampness, the mustiness, the ancient odor, the smell of decay which greets the nostrils when one enters from the health giving atmosphere out of doors, says Good Housekeeping. Never mind if the outer air bears the taint of the gas house, the manufactory or some other unpleasant thing ; it is also mingled witht he health nd strength giving forces of nature and is certainly better for the human system than the same air,whieh has been shut up and contaminated for an in- definite period, with no chance for purifica- tion. Don't mind, even, if a little dust is brought in ; a few minutes with the duster will put the whole house in perfect order again, and even at the worst, dust is not half so bad as disease. And as for the fear of draughts, with colds and a thousand re- sultant evils following in their train, nine- teen -twentieths of that is imaginary., and the other twentieth is easily avoidable, Waste in Stage Dresses, Parisian actresses go toe very great ex- treme in the way of costume. Many of them have to receive immense salaries simply on account of their dressmakers' bills. The sum of $6000, which Mlle. Marie Magnier of the Theatre Gymnase, Paris, receives annually is insufficient. Her toilets alone cost nearly $5000 a year, says the New York . Ledger. In Halevy's comedy, "L'Abbe Constantin," she wore a beautiful dress of exceedingly delicate white lace and gold, costing $1500. Mlle. Jeanne Grapier receives $100 a night to play " La Fille a Cacolet" at theV'arieties. Nearly two-thirds of her salary goes in dress. The dresses which Mine. Doche wore in the title role of " Le Dante aux Camellias" cost „600. The costumes now worn by Mme Sarah Bern- hardt in the same play will sell for ten times this sum. THE RETURN OF TH E BIRDS. The Robin the .First to Bring Us Spring Cheer. The Order In 1t'Ltcb the Feathered. Sous- stew. Coale Itack to els, The season has returned when the migra- tory birds will soon be with us again. Who can tell the first bird that revisits Ontario after the stomy winter is fairly broken ? The first bird to return is the robin. The robin is known as wanderer on the face of the earth, He usually makes his appear- ance early in February, when the grcued is still mantled in snow and ice, and when, it would seem, he could find nothing to eat, The robin visits every part of the Dominion. He slakes his mud -spattered nest ou an ap- ple bough in the orchard. Tile eggs are usually of a blue-green color, and from four to six in number. The second bird to return is the bluebird. Familiar to all must be this eheeiy bird, one of spring's earliest visitors, and one of the most welcome ones withal. All of us who have ever been in the country can recall finding the bluebird's nest, usually in some hollow stump or other artificial retreat. A dainty nest it is, too, lined with horsehair and the depositor, perhaps, haat adozen pale blue eggs. Then comes back again, next inorder, the meadow lark. This bird is clumsy in form, though of rich yet subdued plumage. Its general aspect is brown, with streaks of ash over ite crown. The meadow lark flies low over the fields, its wings rustling ntuehof the startled fashion of the quail started from cover. Its nest is a rude affair, loosely con- structed of stnall twigs, dead wood, oto, Tho song sparrow follows the meadow lark. This cheery songster is with us the year r a loi. It co res first t at the early y t n s i o Who does of knot he son gr ngtnnn .n Q sparrow ? A modest bird, of simple, unix• downed plumage, this• bird is the life of oar hedges and groves, whistling a soft, aub- dued note, sweet and tender in its melody. The blackbirds next return to their old haunts. Thszeare manyspecies of this family of birds, such as the crow black bird, the red -winged blackbird, etc. The black- bird is, much in demand at the hands of the amateur hunter or sportsman, who funds this bird easy game. Then back again, whistling plaintively and abrilly iia its haunte in some thick bramble or copse 1s tt:er;,,.00iril. This son ster is indeed a familiar oiled our bird life. The catbird is of a somber, slate gray in eolor, clean -limbed, spry, graceful, and of aria- toeratie bearing. There is much dignity in the carriage of this bird, althouit must be confessed that its walk is not tyre'h e poetry of motion. But for this shortcoming its song' more than counterbalances. Ringing forth sharp and clear, a peculiarqualityof defiance is heard in its quivering note. The catbird remains with us nearlytheentire year. The tohee bunting is one of spring's ear liest visitors. This bird is glossy black in color, with a dash of rich chestnut at its sides. One day the swallows return again, and soon after tile warblers, The first of the wood warblers is the San Domingo yellow - throat, of which there aro no less than twenty varieties. The Maryland yellow -throat is next in line. This bird takes its name from the color of its breast and from the fact that over its head it wears a black hood or mask. These birds are among our most sprightly singers. By the middle of May the woods. are alive with returned. wanderers in bird land. The Baltimore oriole retutns to nip the opening cherries. This bird is the prince of migra- tory songsters. In plumage it is of dazzling beauty, its breast glowing like a flame, with back and wings of glossy black or olive color. City people can know nothing of the de- light of watching the birds come back in the springtime. That pleasure is reserved for those who, simple in heart like nature, are content to pass their days near her deep green woods and her wild. haunts, beyond the habitations of men. The Porcupine. The Micmac or Shore Indians are very partial to the porcupine as an article of fend, the Abenakis not esteeming it so high- ly, much preferring the flush of the musk- rat, which the former Indians do not care about, indeed the Micmacs call the Abenakis (of St. John River at any rate) muskrat or musquash Indians. The Indians make use of the quills of the porcupine, which they dye to ornament their birch bark boxes with. Some of this work is very pretty. When the white hunters of our forests find a porcupine they very often make use of his flesh for food. The black cat or fisher is very partial to the flesh of the porcupine, and will dare all the dangers of his quills to secure one ; and the hunter often finds that the fisher which he has captured carries some of these quills in his hide. The porcupine is very fond of fat or grease of any kind. It frequents old camps, and one almost always sees some part of the deacon -seat on which grease has been spilled gnawedaway by the sharp teeth of this animal. I admit that the porcupine does eat the bark of trees. I do not think, however,. that he girdles them so that they die. His chief food in winter seems to be the leaves and small boughs of the sapling hemlock. He is agood climber, but slow; ba fact, he is a very slow walker and his movements are far from graceful. As Mr. Flower says the porcu- pine can strike quick and dexterous blows with his tail.. Ihave cut a piece of beech and stirred up a porcupine in his den by means of it, and on withdrawing the stick found the hard wood filled. with quills which had been driven into it by the animal's tail. With Mr. Flower I admit the damage one of these animals can do to a field of buck wheat, but I do not think that they are especially notorious for trespassing on man's domain, chiefly confining themselves to the forest. They are very fond of making their dens among loose rocks. The interior of Nova Scotia, which is very rocky and has little soil, is the best ground which I have ever seen for porcupines. —Forest and Stream. Mrs. P. P. Coffey, of Omaha, wife of a mechanic, is said to have become sole heir to $75,000,000, left by a millionaire manu- facturer named John O'Neill, in Bradford, England.

There is one man who watches this development with vivid interest, and that is Charles Stewart Parnell. The situation in. Servia, as to which you have had full and early information, is cloud- ing over again rather more heavily than be- fore the recent fall of the Unrnich Clover's- nient and the accession to power of M. Patrich. King Milan had abaneioned the Furpose with which he left London in ebruary of returning to Belgrade. The tiurnich (government had assured him that his presence in Belgrade would impede rather than advance the settlement of all the diiilcnities raised there by the presence of his divorced wife, Queen leatalie, and the Guruieli Government had undertaken to carry out the agreement made on King Milan's abdication in 1$SS, a copy of whi•:il, now for the first time published, was sent to you in February. lender this agreement KingMilan to see the complete leality of hs divorce' eatablished by the Church authorities, and to have his pension of 360,000 franca a year permanently charged upon the national budget. Upon learning et the defeat of the Quruich Cabinet Ring Milan's anxiety to ace these matters settled became ungovernable. The new Premier, M. Patrieh, is regarded by Ring Milan as hostile not only to him- self but to the Obernioh dynasty. Two years ago 31, Patrich mann a visit to Russia, where lie was received with great distinction by the Czar, invited to the palace, and de- corated with an iml rial order in diamonds.

Extreme andprceo igcd frosts have Win- ter -killed the young wheat roots in the uorthern and western departments of France and throughout the most of Spain. It is estimated that at least• third of the 17,000- 000 acres in France under wheat have been affected, and that the present condition foreshadows the loss of one-quarter of the whole French crop. A vast amount of re - sowing will have to be done, but this can only be of use under exceptionally and uni- formly favorable conditions.
