Gilbert Sinclair and his friend devot- ed the rest a the evening to billiards, with frequent refreshment an Gilbert's art £n e way of ran y anil soda. "You talked the other day about find - big a purchaser for this confounded old barrack," said. Mr. Sinclair. "I hate the place more every day, and it is costing me no ,ena of money for re- peirs—never saw such a riekety old hole, always some wall tumbling down, or drain getting choked up—to sae- no- ! thing of keeping up a large stable he -re ' as well as at Newmarket." "Why not give up Newmarket?" sug- gested Mr. Wyatt, with hia common sense air. "I'm not saeh a fool. Newmarket gives me some pleasure, and this place gives me none." "You inust keep up a home for airs. Sinelair, and. a London house would bs.rdly be mutable In her preseut stete." "I can tale her to Eastinge or Vent- nor. or to nay box at Newraarket, it Crtalp...$ to that." "isn't it better for her to be near her father?" "What does she wo.ut with her fa - her. an old twaddler like Clanyarde, without a thought beyond the gossip of his club? Don't humbug, Wyatt. You told. me yuu could put your finger on a purchessr. Was that bosh, or did you mean it?" "It was not bosh." answered Wyatt; "but 1 wanted to be quite sure you were in earnest before I pushed my proposal any further. You might cousider it an impertinence even for me to thlisk of sub a thing." "Whet are you driving at?" "Will you. sell, Davenant to me?" Gilbert dropped his billiard cue and toed staring at bis friend. in Wank amazement. Ltere was a new state of things, iudeed. The profeesioual man treading on the heels of the mil- lionaire. "Your he exelaimed. with eoutemp- tuous surprise. "I did not think ra- teen per cent. and renewals could be made sti profitable." "Ina too tlfin-skinned. to resent the insinuation," said James Wyatt, cush- ioning his oppunent's bali. "I can af- ford to buy Davenant for tile price you gave for it. I've got just. enough mon- ey disengaged. I sold out of Paler- rnos the other day when they were up, to provide the purtmase money. I brought down a deed of transfer, and if you are in earnest, we can settle the business to -morrow morning." "Yoa're buying the plain as a spec- ulation," said Gellert, suspieiously. "Not exactly. But what woul4t it matter to you. if I were? You want to gt rid of the plate. I am ready to take if off your hands." "Youhave heard of a bid from sane - body else." "No, I have not." "Well, you're a curious fellow. Go- ing to get married, I suppose, and. turn country squire," "Never mind my plans. Do you. mean to sell? "'Ilaeu I'm ready to buy." The deed was executed next morn- ing. Gilbert stipulated that he NI RS not to surrender the house till the inidsumnaer tauarter, and that rames Wyatt was to take the furniture at a valuation. Mr. Sinclair was much pleased. with the. idea of getting back five -and -thirty thousand pounds of ready money for a place the purchase of which had been a whim, and of the occupation whereof he was heartily tired. Those miners in the north were still holding out, and money had not been flowing into his coffers nearly so feet as it had been flowing out during the last ball year. He hail made unlucky bargains in horselle,sh—squandered. his money on second-rate stock, and on running small races that were not worth his people's traveling expenses. In a word, he had. done all those foolish things which an. idle man who thinks hinieelf ex- tremely clever, and yet lends an ear to every new adviser is at to do, "Pive-and-thirty thou' will put me in- to smooth water," he said, as he signed the contract with a flourish. The one suspicion as to Mr, Wyatt's attentions, which would have prevented Gilbert Sinclair agreeing to the bar- gain, had. never presented itself to his inbad. James Wyatt went back to London. that afternoon, promising to meet his client next day at the Argyle Street Branch of the 'Union Bank, and. hand over the purchase -money. At eight o'clock that evening he presented him- self at Sir Cyprian Davenant's cham- bers. He found his friend sitting alene among his books, smoking an In- . n noonali. "Wyatt, old fellow, this is a sur- prise," said Cyprian, as they shook hands. "Rave you dined?" "Thanks, yes; I took a chop at the Garrick. I've just come from Dave- nant." "Indeed! How is Mrs, Sinclair?" "Pretty much the same, poor soul. How tong is it sine you heard of her?" "I saw Lord Clanyarde at his club about a week ago." "Weil., there's been no change late- ly. Something wrong with the mind, you see, and a gradual ebbing away of strength. She's not long for this world, I'm afraid; bat she was too good for it. Angels are better off in heaven than they are with us. We don't ap- preciate them." "No more than swine appreciate pearls," said Sir Cyprian. "What would you give to get Daven- ant back?" asked. Mr. Wyatt, without pretace. "What would I give? Anything—half my fortune." "What is your fortune worth?" "About a hundred and fifty thous- and." ' "Well, then, I ,sha'n't want so much, as half of it, though your deer is tempt- ing. Davenant is raine." "'Yours!" "Yes, at the price you got for it, with another five thousand as a sporting bid for the furniture and improvemente. Give me five -and -twenty per cent ot my purchase and Davenant is yours. "Willingly. But how about Mrs. Sinclair? Will it not grieve her to lose the place?" "Whether or nonthe place is sold. I tell you, Sir Cyprian, I stand before you the owner of Datvetant and aU its appurtenances. I did. not buy it for nay - Self, but on the speculation that, as I bought it cheap, you would be glad to give me a profit 011 my penal:Ise. I knew Sinclair well enough to bo very sure that he would let the roof rot over his head before he woula consent to :int the plate to you." "You hate done a friendly thing. Wy- att, and. I thank you. I sbeuld hesitate, perhaps, in agreeing to steel' a bg,r- gain, were any other men. than Mr Sm- clair in question, but I do not feel my- .e.af bound to stand upon punctilio with bun." -Punctilio, manl There's no punc- tilio to stand upon. Siuelair sold the es - tete to Inc unconditionally. and I have an indisputable right to sell it to you." --- CHAPTER XXI. Sir Cyprian Deven Int had ridden to Totteritige several times after his dis- covery of Mrs. Walsinghem's connection with the village as tenant of that small and unpretendieg house with the green slautters, glass dooF, and allure Plot at garden. it, was hes habit to put un his horse at the inn, and go for a rustle stroll while the animal restea after his midday feed, and in these rambles he hail made the aiequaintmatti of the nurse and baby at the green -shattered house. The nurse was a German girl, fat- . relate', good-natured and unintelligeut. Sir Cyprian won her heart at the out- set by eddressing her in her native lan- guage, wbich she bad not heard since • she cerne to England, and in the confi- , deuce inspired by his kind mannersand ; excellent German she freely imparted • her affairs to the stranger. Mrs. Wel- ' sleigh= had hired her in Brussels, and i brought. her hoine as nuree to the lit- ( tie Ind, whose previeus nurse had been ; disinessed for baa conduit in thit city. "Mrs. Walsinallaurs little girl?" in- ; mitred Sir Cyprian. No. darling was an orphan, the , daughter of a poor cousin of Mrs. Walsingbarn win) had died in Vienna, and. the kind lady had brought the lit- tle one home, and was going to bring her up as tier own child. Sir Cyprian heard and was doubtful. He had his own theory about thie haler, hut a theory whieh be would not for worlds have mai:cried to any (Inc. lle Rot on quite farailiar terms with the little one by and by.

She was quite ready to attaeb ber- salf to the wantleriag stranger, fascin- ated by his Wateli-ebain and seals. "What is her name?" aeked Sir Cyp- rian. ! "Clara, but we always call her lathy." . "Clara? That's only her Christian • name. She bas a surname' I suppose?" ' The nurseemaid supposedas much al- ' so. but had never heard any surname, • nor the profession of the little dearet father, nor any details of the death of father and neother. Mrs. Walisinghaan was a lady who talked very little, but she seemed extremely fond of Baby. She came to see her twice a week, and. seraetinies stayed all day, playing with her, and superintending her dinner, and carrying her about the garden. On the morning after that interview r. with James Nt 3 a LI; Sir Cyprian rode to Totteridge and put up his horse, as us- ual. at the inn. The nurse hat told hina that Mrs. Walsingliam was to be at • the cottage to -day, and he had special reasous for wishing to see that lady. i He might ba.ve called upun her in hall - noon Street, of course, but he preferred poto ssible.. her at Baby's establishment, if It was noon when he walked up and. down the pathway before the cottage, waiting for Mrs. Walsinglaam's arn- val, a bright winter day, with a blue sky and a tve,st aand. He had exchang- ed greetings with Baby already, that young lady . saluting him from the nursery window with vivacious tiour- ishes of her pink arms. The church clock had not long struck twelve when Mrs. Waleingham's neat brougham drove. up. She. opened the door and Iet herself out, and had scarce- ly stepped on to thepathway when she reeognized Sir Cyprian. ' She turned very pale, and. made a ' little movement, as if she would have ' gone back to her carriage, but Sir Cyprian advanced, hat in hand, to greet ; her. "You have not forgotten me, I hope, ; Mrs. Walsbanham?" "Sir Cyprian Davenant, I think." I "Yes; X have had the pleasure of meeting you more than three years ago at the Star and Garter." t "I remember perfectly. You have been • in Africa since then. 1 have read some t notices of your adventures there. I am , glad to see you so little the worse for ; them. And. now I must bid you good- ! morning. I have to see some people here. You can wait at the inn, Holraes," : to the coachman. • "Will you give me half an hour—a I quaxter of dal hour's conversation, Mrs. Walsingham?" asked Sir Cyprian. ; She looked at hina uneasily, evidently puzzled. • "Upon what subject ?" "Upon a matter of life and de,ath." " You alarra me. Have you come here on purpose co waylay me ? I thought our meeting. was accidental." " Waylay is a disagreeable word; but I certainly came here tbis morning on purpose to see you. I am going to make an appeal to your heart, Mrs. Walsing- ham. I want you to •do a noble ace ; tion." "I am afraid you have come to the wrong quarter for that commodity," she answered, with a bitter smile, but she seemed somewhat reassurect by this mode of address. • "Shall we walk?" she asked, moving away frora t he garden gate. t The wide high -road lay before them, destitute of any sign of Itortain life, the ' leafless limes and. chestnuts standing up • against the winter sky, the far-off hills purple in the clear bright air. They • would be- as much alone here as within any four walls ,and Mrs, Waisingham. was evidently disinclined to admit Sir Cyprian into Ivy Cottage, as the house with the green shutters was called. " Have you friends here? Do you of- ten comer asked Mrs. Walsingbam, carelessly. •' 1 take my morning ride here area - atonally, and. the other day, while rest- ing my horse, I.made the acquaintance of year German nurse and her charge. 13eby is a most fascinatinglittle . thing, and I take the 'warmest interest in her." " What a pity my small Mete isn't old. enough to appreciate the honor I" sneered. Mrs. Waisen.gleam. Sir Cyprian ignored the sneer. • "My interest in that sweet little thing has given rise to a strange( idea— & -wild one, you will say, perhaps—when : I have explained myself. 'But I must begin at the begbaning. I told you that I el,as going to make an appeal to your heart.

No doubt she has plenty of sympathy—a busbana who adores her—and the .thivalrous devotion of old admirers, like yourself." ."

"Is it the lies ot her baby tivbiela airs. Six:wiper feels so deeply ?' asked Mrs. \\ aieingham. who had listened thoughtfully to Sir Cyprian's appeal.

Mrs: Waisingerou was moveth No eonteung tear veiled. the hard. bright - 01 her dark eyes, but her tower hp worked nervously, and ber inereasing pallor told of a mind deeply troubled. "If her husband had by any (let of his brought her to this centlition, I should tall him something worse than a murderer," said Sir Cyprien; " but badly as I think of Gilbert Sinitlair, can not blame, him here. It Le destiny that has been eruel—an inseratable Pro- videnee which haa chosen to inflict this halal -yes misery on the gentlest and neat innocent a victims. It is vela" tiara to understand 1%4 this should be. , "Mrs. Sinclair is not the first," sabl Mrs. t.aleenethani, strn gel mg against some strong feeling, " Giber women 141V,' lo.,t atildren they lnveti—unly dren-1 Ifit,Oti 131 ti• •Ir Leerts."

But Mrs. Smelair's placid perfectiou sbould be above such human passions." "elm is human. enough ansi weak en- ough to break her heart for the less of her child," answered Sir Cyprian, growing angry. 'But you seem to be ineapable of pity, and I fear I have been mistaken in appealing to you. Yet thought thitt your Jove for the child yonder might inspire some feeling of sympathy with an. afflicted mother." " My affection for my poor little or- phan cousin—a waif thrown on ray hands by misfortune—is not a very absorbing sentiment," answered Mrs. Walsingham, with languid scoria. " So much the better," cried Sir Cyp- rian, eenerly, " for in that case you will the easur fall in with my plan for sav- ing Mrs. Sinclair's life and reason." You have a plan for saving her ?" "Yes, a plan recommended by her physicians, end to whieh her husbo.nd arid father have given their consent. In ct, crisis itt wnich nothing but hope could save her she has been told to hope. It has been even hinted to her that her child is still Jiving." 14Ire. Walsingham started and lock- ed. at haat wonderingly. " A cruel deception you tbink, but the case was desperate, remember. This false hope has already done something. have heard this reornixtgethat there bas been a faint rally—a flicker of re- turning intellige,nce. She remembers that she has been told to bope—remera- bars and looks forward. to the realiza- tion of the promise that has beert made. If we fail her now, despair will again take povAession of her—more bitter be- cause of this ray of light. The plan formed by those who love her best Ls to give her a child to love—a child ohora she will believe at first to be her awn, sexed from the German river, 'but about which, in time to come, when rea- son and strength 'have returned, she may be told the truth, She will have given the little one her 1070 by that tine, and the adopted child will fill the place of the lost one." " A most romantic scheme, assured- ly, Sir Cyprian. And pray what part do you expect me to play na this domes- tic drama'? Why choose me for your con fidente ?" "The little girl you ha-ve adopted is about the age of Mrs. Sinclair's baby, You. admit that she is not very dear to you—a, charge which you have tak- en uposa yourself out of cla:axity. Let Gilbert Striclair adopt that child.

The good folk of Germany are exer- cised over their Emperor's mustache. For some years William wore his mus- tache with a ferocious upward cuxi that gave biri a very bellicose aspect, es- pecially when the imperial brow was surmounted by the shako, helmet or bearekin, belonging to one of the 109 uniforms which Ills Majesty is entitled to wear. A great change has taken plain during the last few months. The imperial mustache now stands out at right angive with the imperial count- enance, just as an ordinary civilian's might. This more paella: turn to Wil- liam's whiskers is regirded by his sub- jects as a happy augury for the peace of Europe. There axe but tvvo known survivors of the realms ball given by the Duch- ess of Richmond at Brussels on the eve of the battle of 'Waterloo. They are Englishwomen, the ladies Louie°. and Sophia Tighe.

TRICKS OF FRENCH BEGGARS. 33egging is .disguised under many strange trades in Paris. A. woman was recently found who sells sets of ad- dxasses of the oh,aritably disposed to begging letter irapasters. She sells two ante, the big set and the little mt. The little set is five francs, end. com- prises 200 addresses. For 15 franees one carnhave the big set of 950 address- es, sufficient, said. the vender, to enable any one starting in the business to earn his living for a year. ae these facts have been given a wide publicity, the persons whose addresses are collected will receive a usetul weaning. Ordinary street begging in PDX1S, it appears, is reckoned to bring in an average of at least a shilling au hour. Wien Babe wee sick, we amber Casterhs. When she was a, Oland, she cried for Casteria.

Very few persons have any accurate conception of the enormous inland. com- merce carried on between various points on the great lakes, Superior, tiara% Michigan, and Erie. On the waters of eaeh of these lakes there are fleets of shies, the eharacter of which is being constantly improved and the cerrying °opacity constantly erdarged.t The last report of the Ciiief of Engineers of tbe Si:. Mary's Falls Canal, which connects Lakes Huron and Superior at Sault Ste. Marie, shows a larger business done than. any previous year since the open- ing of the canal in 1870. Figuxes for the last; year covered show, compared with the previous year, an increase of sixteen per cent. in tonnage, thirteen Per cent in the n.uxaber of passengers carried, and ten per cent. in the ton- , nage of freight carried. The length of this canal is one mile; the navigable depth in feet is eighteen. There passed through it in. the Year covered by the last report, a fiscal year, ' 18,000 vessels, of which 12,500 were steamers and the xemainder sailing ships. Through this canal were brought 453,000,000 bushela of wheat, ,the chief article of commute from East to West, and 8,000,000 bushels of other grain. One important article !of inter -State coramerce in the inlani seas of the country which are called "lakes" in the getegre.phies, is la,n ore, of which 8, 000,000 tons were carried through the sf- Mary's Falb Canal Of flour there was carried 9,000,000 barrels, and of coal, the chief item of transfer from East to West, 2,133,000 tone of bitum- inous and 440,000 tons of anthracite. Another important itero. uf Interlake commerce is lumber, of which the Mich- igan forests are an almost inexhaust- ible supply. The lumber which pa.s.sed through St. Miley's Falls Canal last Year amounted to 740,000,000 feet. The total lumber products a the State of Michigan amount in a year to 8,000,000,- 000 feet,and the lumber proctuots of the State of Wiscoesin are about one-half as large. Another considerable item of trans- port through tins canal between Lakes Superior and Huron is salt to ithe amount of 270,000 barrels last year, and of capper, to the amount of 107,000 tons. There were in addition carried last year 23,000,000 tons of building stone and 460,000 tuns of raiseellaneou.s freight, int -hiding wool, hides and general 32103- claand Ise. The enormous business /done in this canal ran be viewed in its vorrect di- raensions by ceraparLson with the oper- ations of the world -famed Suez Canal, whieh is carried, during the last year of whieh there is a complete 'report 3,552 ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 8,000,000,compared. with 18,000 shim, with a registered tonnage of 16,000,000, or twice as ratieh in the Si. Mary's .aalls Canal. In other words, more than five times as many ships, steamers, and $eal- mg ()raft (though mostly eteament)esent through the canal as went through the Suez Canal, and the tonnage of the canal was twice as great. A COW UP A TREE. -- Row et Got trie There Nobody Dias Item Able to Find out. Within the borders of the fertile land known as the blue grass region of Ken- tucky there is a more or less thriving village called Harrodsburg. A. mile to the south of Harrodsburg, on the pike road, lives one John Peters, who, besides having a wife and several small children and three acres of pasture land, owns a very remarkable cow of the Jersey breed. It was on Friday—most unfortunate of days—a few weeks since, that the Jersey cow owned. by Mr. John Peters distinguished herself in a manner unique and peculiar, and entirely dile ferent from other cows that from time to time have found their way Mt° pub - lie print. There is not at hand at this moment and authentic list of the rows of history, but in rank, at least, the Jersey cow owned by Mr. Jahn Peters, of Harrodsburg, is deserving of ever- lasting fame along with the famous fe- male bovine. of Mrs. O'Leary, who ha a moment of forgetfulness kicked over the lamp and set off an elaborate dis- pia.a of fireworks some years ago ia Chicago. The Jersey cow owned by Mr. John Peters was found. by her master tight- ly wedged in the forks of a maple tree, anti it was with the greatest diffieulty that she was removed, with the ai'l of a derrick and ropes and naors or less profanity, from her perilous rest in the branches of the maple. As the etiw wee at least eight feet front the gamine, and has never shown any anility as an athlete or tree climeter, just leree ate got into such a poeition /S now one of the unsolved masteries of the blue grate region.
