In years gone by Rose Grainger was
a singularly beautiful girl, of a warm
brunette type; the type, so people say,'
whioh is becoming distinctively Aus-
tralaan. Italian in coloring and in fea-
ture; the influence (ef a sunny olimate
on the English race. Travelled people
used to say she reminded them of the
Varotarl Judith in the Dresden Gallery;
a sweet face with soft brown eyes -and
a tenderly womanly mouth.
The girl had many admirers, but the `;
two men who were considered equal in
the chances of winning her were George
Berkley, an Englishman of family, and
Stephen Harding, by birth an Austra-
lien, a wealthy man and chief manager
of the Universal Bank.
In spite of his rival being an English-
man,
nglishman, Brisbane Laid long odds, in its
sporting way, an Harding: In Aus-
tralia the fate of squatter, farmer, and
legislator,. too, lie more often tbin not
in the hands ot a bank manager; when
such a. power is unmarried he is a parti
coveted by all sensible parents for a son-
in-law. And. besides, Harding was an
attractive man, plea ant in manner
when the business in hand was not so.
He knew how to say "No" to a risky
financial transaction; but he would take
you down to the club and offer you
sherry, and entertain you as if nothing
disquieting had happened.
He had begun life in the golden age
of Australia, when money was easier
to make, ay, and to keep, than now;
when the pace of life was taken less
rapidly.
For the reason that he could base
Rose near him, Captain Grainger would
have been glad had she chosen Harding
in preference to George Berkley, whose
cattle station was further norththan he
deemed safe far his child to settle.
Otherwise the charm of the young
squatter's English ways, and his family
connections, were indisputable advan-
tages.
But the decision lay with Rose, and
she did so in favor of Berkley, whose
suit was wamly Lacked
by
the
ga
w
.
ernor,
Sir Eustice ;palet, who wrote
home in enthusiastic terms of Miss
Grainger to Lady Berkley, assuring her
that her boy was engaged to a Iady,and
to no "back block" barmaid. He re-
ferred. Debrett for
the
e to Burke n
ferrel her
credentials of the Grainger family,
whose blood was bound to be as blue
as that of the best Berkleys: Those re-
latives who had croaked of apedigree
recorded in the archives of the Old
Bailey were pleasantly silenced.
Stephen Harding his
defeatat like
an honest fellow; but be disappointed
a good many mothers wbo had thought
was consolable. He hid. his heart und-
er the sleeve of his office coat and work-
ed. incessantly.
Time went an. The day fixed for the
wedding drew near; letters passed be-
tween the lovers as frequently as the
mail arrangements permitted; the tele-
graph bad not then reached so far
north. The Gulf country was an
intima Thule.
George was an excellent correspond-
ent, looking at Fife with a large view;
he not only could tell a story well, but
he was something of an artist. His
letters were accompanied by vivid
sketches of the people and the scenery
among whom he lived. Rose, bright
and clever, wrote, as such a girl would,
to the man she loved..
Their engagement was so well re-
ceived at home that Lady Berkley in-
creased her son's capital, and the Gulf
Station was put up for sale, with a
view to his coming further south to
the rich Iand. on the Darling Downs.
But just as these things were being
arranged there came a tragedy which
completely changed the current of the
d
ai'
lives with which this story is concerned.
While George Berkley and his head
manager, Diek Lawrence, were away
on a distant part of the run, a tribe of
blacks, with a cannibalistic reputation
swooped down on the homestead and
under peculiarly brutal circumstances,
killed Mrs. Lawrence and her little
daughter, a delightful child, nine years
old. Poor Dick "cooeyed" as usual
when he neared home, but his saluta-
tion was unanswered. The light of his
life had gone out. For some time he
searched unsuccessfully for his dead,
whom no one save George Berkley was
allowed to see in their degradation.
After an interval the Chinese servants
crept out of their hiding -place, and
under compulsion related how and
when the outrage occurred. The dead
were cared for with all tenderness, and
this done, the two. men rode off to
avenge., They did not ask for help of
any kind; no police were called in; no
signed warrants applied for. All they
asked was to meet the tribe in open
fight; and they did.
Lawrence came out of it !badly
wounded with thrusts from spears,and
hackings from sharp tomahawks. Geor-
ge Berkley disappeared. It took time
for news to reach Brisbane, and by the
time they did, nearly two months had
elapsed. Trackers were sent out, of all
shades. The affair became one -of inter -
colonial 'Interest. The neighboring col-
onies lent aid, and public sympathy
was laid at the feet of the girl in; the
hour of her grief. When Dick Law-
rence was able to crawl into the sad-
dle he led a party of troopers on to
the; trail where he and George had met
the tribe in fight; but to no availband.
Dick never ceased to murmur at the
inequality of'rate. He wished to die,
since -'all that he most cherished was
taken from him., Indeed, it was sur-
mised, but with bated breath, that the
worst had happened, for traces of more
than one cannibal orgie was discovered
in searching for the missing squatter.
end this, in part, explains the terror
of the Chinese servants, who left a
woman ancl. child to the fury of the
natives. Alarge percentage of the via
lime were Chiinamen.
It did not kill. Rose; indeed, trouble
seems to be so much an integral part
of a woman's life that it prolongs her
days. Every woman hugs. the big rota
ante of her life; the shrine once set up
is never dismantled, and who will dare
say that it interferes with the vocation
of wife or mother.
Emotion, however, dwindles with
time, publao • emotion that is to say.
Long after "The disappearance of
George Berkley" has been elbowed out
of the newspapers by fresher matter,
the girl might have been found reading
and re -reading his letters, and wringing
the hearts of Captain Grainger and
Teddy, her brother, by her persistent
belief that George was alive.
Perhaps Providence meant well in
sending her another grief to distract
her mind from what was felt to be be-
coming a delusion, for her father fell
seriously ill, and her whole attention
was given him. Having :ost her mo-
ther so early that her memory was but
a sweet shadow, Rose had grows up her
father's dearest companion and like all
girls who are thrown with i;.,od men
her character was formed upon an
open, frank basis, which while tieing as
free as that of a boy, lost nothing of
its womanliness which is the greatest
attraction to men.. The keynote of her
character was gentleness, combined
with humor and an extraor,Iinary
breadth of interests. Her l.e:auty, as
has been said was of an uncommon and
unquestionable order.
When the doctors warned his friends
that for Capt. Grainger the last
signals were flyiug, Stephen Harding
entered tho sick man's chamber, and
very , by ly and delicately placed his
services at his disposal, in the event
of his needing them in the interests of
his children. The old man knew he
was in danger.
"She ought to have married you,
,[larding," he said when Stephen took
leave of him.
I have never cared for any other
woman. sir," ha replied."She knows
that. There is no merit in being faith-
ful to the woruun who bas always held
your heart."
He was speaking to a man nearing
those places whore all things are made
clear, else he bad. not bared a hurt of
so slow a healing.
Touched by his devotion to her father,
and conscious that she bad to a great
measure claudeu Stephen's life, Rose
consented in the end to marry him. He
did not diptaoe tate shrine erected to
her lost lover. Harding was quite
aware of that; but she had in no way
wronged caged him. IL had been a pure
thing which had. called into life that
sense of motherliness which is insepar-
able from the affection of a good wo-
man. To care for some one and devote
herself e f tQ that person's welfare was
essential to her happiness.
Stephen h
td been nUel overworked
of late years, and gladly seized upon
his wife's suggestion that they should
run home ana take a year of rest and
travel in Europe. It was a happy
twelve-month of travel; the one long
holiday of Stephen's life. They drifted
to Dresden, where they both laughed

Rose's
wonderful resemblance e Fut resem 1•unce t o
the Judith of Varotari; a copy was
made of it, and brought back as a me-
mento of their Ions honeymoon.
Five happy years then followed,
clouded only by the absence of ebil-
dren. Rose Glared to believe that she
had outlived drama, when a crash

to Stephen Ranting it was no surprise.
Lie had seen the storm coining, and
warned his directors. lie did his best
to wave the banlr, but his hands were
tied; had he sold out when it would
have been wise to do so. people would
have e. lost confidence, and the collapse
would have been final He bad invest-
ed largely in Universal shares, and in
those of other banks.
The blow was a. crushing one to him.
A man whose life has been spent in
moneymaking practically knows each
sovereign dee owns by sight.
In vain the doctors ordered absolute
quiet and abstention from business.
Harding's door was besieged by his fel-
low -sufferers seeking advice, but the
oracle was as hardly .bit as his humblest
client. When his strength returned,
Harding got at his securities, and care-
fully examined what was left. to him.
Out of the wreck of his fortunes there
were a couple of mortgages on some
rich ,station -property near the Herbert
River, on the borders of Queensland
and South Australia. These he deter-
mined to see into, and announced to
Rose, more abruptly than be was wont.
his determination of making a journey
of inspection.
She had learned during his illness
that it was wiser not to actively oppose
any of his wishes; the brain was weak-
er and irritable, and she dreaded a com-
plete breakdown. However, the doctor
did not dissuade him. A change of
scene, and some riding and life spent
out of the office might, he considered,
work wonders.
He acceded to Rose's request that she
might go with him. She was a fine
horsewoman, and knew something of
bush travelling. Since their marriage
they had never been separated; but she
was more necessary than ever to him
now.
Lawrence had never severed his con-
nection with Rose and the more inti-
mate friends of George Berkley, and
immediately he heard of the downfall
of the bank and of Stephen's serious
illness he dame to Brisbane, and begged
Rose to let him be of some use to them. I
In his hands, therefore, all the ar-
rangements were left for the fitting
out of the overlanding party. He never
wanted for followers, and a party of
bu,shmen and a sprinkling of miners
eager to go into the Herbert district
joined. him.
He never wearied of telling the story
of the fate of George Berkley, whom he
described in the heat of the narrative
as "a man made by God 1" And he
was relating,once more, how he and
his hero hd fought the tribe, to a
,party of listeners in a little hotel at
Townsville, while waiting for Hard-
ing and his wife to arrive by the Bris-
bane boat. Amongst those who hung
upon his words was Professor Carl
Jansen, the German anthropologist,
seeking material for his book on Abori-
ginal dialects as compared with Sim-
ian speech. In some sections of scien-
fists it was supposed that the missing
link between the two races might be
found in similiarities of speech. He
had begun on the lowest rung of the
ladder of language by exiling him-
self an Kinn Bain the Walhalla of
North Borneo, whereon, so say the
Dyaks, heroes are buried, and where
men with tails dwell in the most un-
approachable caverns. Truth com-
pels it to be stated that men with these
appendages have yet; to be found. Still,
Jansen got to talking with orang
outans, and he learned the sweet note
of the Wah iG'
ah the Simian Orpheus,
who wails in tree -tops. With the com-
moner monkeys who live more amongst
ten he, grew surprisingly familiar. In-
deed. so successfulwas ho with mon-
key -talk that he craved his life by sum -
moiling.. from the .depths ..of.. the jun-
gles a horde of apes with and without
long tails when a Badjow chief at Alai,
suspicious of his researches, grew-
troublesome.
rewtroublesome. When be saw what the
professor could do. and how the mon-
keys understood him, the chief dubbed
Jansen a wizard, and decreed that he
was to be regarded as sacred "kramat,"
and gave him every assistance.
From the Simian to the human ton-
gue as she is spoke by the Aboriginals
of Australia, Jansen held to be a mere
step, and he pursued his researches un-
deterred by the fact that all zoologi-
teal tradition was against it. Except-
ing as a mere visitor, the ape has never
had a footing in the Antipodes. This,
however, was not regarded as any ser-
ious. obstacle by the processor; the
shoal waters and coral atolls which
separate Asia from Australia have
only come since the great upheaval ;
before this the two countries might
well have been one. There is a lux-
ury in holding a theory and being able
to pursue it when it can hurt nobody.
In practice the thing did not work
out so easily. Still, the Teuton has
patience, which the average English-
man has not leisure to attain to. The
disappearance of George Berkley set
linen thinking, with the result that
he begged to be allowed to join Hard-
ing's overland expedition, hoping to
fall in with the tribe who had made
away with him. The fact that they
were cannibals only made them more
interesting.
As Rose antieieated, the strain of
being constantly rat the saddle proved
too much for Harding's weak state of
health. The beat tried him beyond en-
dur•wace, Re lost strength, and failed
rapidly; what a lost fortune had be-
gun ma r.a
wonton to end.
In order to get. medical advice, Law-
rence altered the route, and struck
westwards towards the telegraph line,
which threads the lone continent from
north to south, hoping to reach a sta-
tion
tation from whence, even by wire, some
advice might be given.
He grew so weak, however, that a
halt had to be called, and messengers
were sent at express speed for help.
They had reached that part of the
country where a curious tableland ex-
ists—a kind of volcanic plateaux—
where the rocks are marked with the
action of fire, and cast up in strange
forms. Gigantic pillars and scraps of
bastions lie about, as if a Titan had
commenced to build and in a fitof tem -
tare, who was advancing from the op -
pante direction, and who instantly turn-
ed and fled. The young men were
so startled that for a moment or two
they lost their presence of mind, but
Ave seconds later they were in full
u
p rsuit. They were all good runners,
and the chase was an exciting one.
The night was clear and starlit, the
time was between eleven and twelve
o'clock, and the streets were deserted.
Presently the creature, with its pursu-
ers some forty or fifty yards behind,
emerged from the tangle of side streets
among which the chase had begun, in-
to the main street of the town, which
led, almost in a direct line, to the
abbey. same quarter of a mile away.
!t was apparently bent on escaping as
it had escaped before, that is, by scaling
the $piked railings of the church -yard
and being 1esC mon. the wilderness
me
ss
of tombstones inside
The pursuers
put on an extra spurt; but their quarry,
as if aware of it, did the same. Sudden-
ly, to the intense surprise of the young
men, the creature turned sharply to
the left and disappeared up a narrow
covered way known as Cooper's Court.
But this move was explained a moment
or two later by the appearance of a
couple of constables approaching from
the opposite direction, Cooper's Court
being a cul-de-sac, with houses on three
sides of it, the young men now felt
themselves as sure of capturing their
prey as one may reasonably feel sure
about anything. They shouted to the
constables to hurry up, and rushed hel-
ter-skelterse
through the pa..aga into
the court. Then they paused to gath-
er
ather breath anti look around. But what
had become of the creature8 Three pairs
of keen eyes scanned every corner of
the court, but to no purpose. Then as
exclamation broke from one of them;
and the others, following the direction
of his finger with their gaze, could just
make our a dusky figure numbing ape -
fashion up the iron water -spout which
ran from the roof to the ground be-
tween two of the. corner houses of the
court. The creature was climbing
slowly, band over hand and foot over
foot, and was already three parts of the
way up. The young men were so
struck that they could not utter a
word. Half a minute Later the crea-
ture had reached the roof of one of the
houses; then it turned and relieved it-
self by giving vent to a gibbering de-
risive laugh, if laugh it could be call-
ed, and scrambling nimbly up the ties
of the roof, disappeared on the .other
side. By this the two constables had
come up, and they, as a matter of
course, took the direction of the affair
into their own hands. But by the
time they had succeeded in knocking
up „the people in one of the houses and
in getting leave to go through into the
garden at the Track, the creature could
easily have got away three or four
times over.

MILK SOLD BY THE BRICK.
Milk may be bought by the brink in
summer, like some kinds of ice cream.
It is frozen solid, though, and, if in-
tended far use in coffee, as soon as re-
ceived in. the household it must be chip-
ped off with the handle of the knife or
fork, according to the quantity desired.
From a fad, frozen milk has grown to
be more or less of a necessity in the
warmer countries in Europe. The Bel-
gian Government designs to increase the
trade at an annual outlay of $50,000,
and in Copenhagen a company has ,been
formed and arrangements have been
oompleted for the regular export of
frozen milk. The necessary plant
has been. erected, and oontracts have
been made for the delivery of 110,000
pounds per week, which will be sent to
all parts of the world in bricks, or
blocks, like ice.

The Great Rank Robbery
It was found that the tunnel from
the bathroom led into a room on the
fifth floor of a tenement house at No.
76 .i.uatow street, adjoining the jail.
The wall of the house added to the wall
of the jail made a thickness of four
feet and a half of solid masonry, which
had been out through. In the three
rooms that had been rented in the
house by Leary's friends were found
abundant evidences of the work. One
of the closets contained nearly a wag-
on -load of brinks, neatly stored, which
had been removed from the waIl. There
was found, also, a kit of the finest bur-
glar tools ewer used. by New • 'York
"eracksmen." Among these tools were
a "jimmy" two and a half feet long,
made of the finest cast -steel, and off-
ering tremendous leverage; and a still
larger one, made in two pieces, each
wrought in octagonal cast steel, with
wedge-like ends, and fitting into joints
of brazed gas-pipe—a tool four or five
feet long, of great weight and strength,
and capable of breaking down the hea-
viest brick or stone work. There were
also a dozen steel probes of various
lengths from eight up to twenty-eight
inches, beautifully tempered at the
ends, and mortar picks of cast steel,
chisels, and iron-boundmallets.
m 1 ors.
For weeks Leary had been kept ad-
vised of the progress of the work by
his wife in her frequent visits. Dur-
ing the last two or three days before
the work was finished, the shell of
bricks left in the wall was so thin that
signals could easily be passed from one
side to the other,
When everything was in readiness
the final signals were given, and Leary
had but to give a strong heave with
his massive shoulders to drive the out:
er bricks into the tunnel and show the
way of escape clear before him. As a
precaution against noise the confeder-
ates had spread piltows in the tunnel,
so that the uricks fell upon them and
the sound. was deadened, The size of
the hole on Leary's side was five rows
of bricks in tensa, with a width equal
to the length of tour bricks. The care
with whicn the gang had worked was
further indicates in, several ingenious
devices
to preventche sound oi their
operations trom tieing heard. The end
at the
long 'umplastered round

lets uses were vrrapped in feathers a d

John Leary fled. to Europe, but was
afterwards arrested in Brooklyn by
Robert Pinkerton and three of his men
who '•held him up" in a sleigh. at the
corner of
Twenty-seventh street andd
Fourth avenue, Brooklyn
; and before
Leary could make use of a large-sized
revolver which he had on his person,
the horse was grabbed by the head and
pulled to a standstill. and Leary was
dragged out ot the sleigh and hand-
cuffed. Re was taken immediately to
Northampton, ana put in jail there.
Some time previous to this the Pink-
ertons had locates Conroy, who had
also escaped trom Ludlow street jail,
in Philaaelphia, ana immediately on
the arrest of Leary, Robert Pinker-
ton sent one of nus detectives from
New York to l'huactelphia, who was
fortunate enough to arrest Conroy at
one of his resorts on the same night,
and he was also d iivered i nai 1' at
e
Northampton.
Some months previous to this the
Pinkertons had also arrested Thomas
Doty, another member of the band, and
lodged him in the Northampton jail.
In the meantime, Scott and Dunlap,
now in State prison, had made a con-
fession as againet Leary, the holder of
the securities; and when Leary was
brought to Northampton, they wrote
hien a letter, notifying him that unless
the securities were handed over to
their proper owners, they would take
the witness stand against him and
convict him, but that if he did turn
over the necessary securities they
would refuse to taste the stand. This
resulted in the recovery by the North-
ampton Bank of nearly all the secur-
ities stolen from the bank and its de-
positors, this not including, however,
the government bonds and currency
stolen at the time. Some of these se-
curities tau depreciated in value up-
wards of one hundred thousand dollars
since they were stolen The amount of
the securities ' recovered represented
seven hundred thousand dollars; they
had been in the hangs of the thieves
upwards of two years.
After the securities were returned.
Scott and Dunlap refusing to take the
stand against Leary and Doty, the
authorities were eventually obliged to
release them, as Evans had also refus-
ed to take the stand against the,. Con-
roy, who had simply been a "go-be-
tween," and not an actual participant
in the robbery, was released at the
same time by order of the court.
The trial of Scott and Dunlap took
place at Northampton in July, 1877,
a year and a hall after the robbery.
Evans took the stand against them,
his evidence making the case of the
prosecution overwhelmingly strong.
After three hours' deliberation the
jury brought in a verdict of "guilty,"
and the prisoners were sentenced to
twenty years each in the State pri-
son. Scott died in prison, and Dunlap,
having been pardoned several years
ago, is now Iiving in a Western city,
a reformed man. and is earning an
honest living. As far as is known,
since leaving the penitentiary he has
never returned to his evil ways..Con-
roy also has taken to new ways, is
honest, and is generally respected by
all who know hum:
Red Leary came to his death seven
years ago in a curious way. One night
in April, 1888, he bad been drinking
with some friends at the "Knicker-
bocker Cottage," a well-known sport-
ing resort in New York, on Sixth ave-
nue, between Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-eighth streets. In the party
was "Billy" Train, an old bunco man.
They were all somewhat intoxicated
and inclined to be uproarious. As they
came out on tele street, "Billy" Train
picked up a brick and threw it up in
th'e dr. yelling: "Look out for your
heads, boys." To this warning Leary
paid no attention, and the brick came
down on his head with full force, frac-
turing his skull. He was taken to the
New York Vos_pital and died there,
after much" suffering, on April 23rd.
As for the safe expert, Evans, he
is engaged in legitimate business, and
is. prospering. In compiling this article'
fromthe records,'the writ
her has b
request, changesome of the names
of the parties, who since that time have
reformed and are now respected mem-
bers in the community where they re-
side, and the author has no desire to
injure them.

ENGLAND VANISHING.
A Writer Avers That the Sea Is Gradually
liueuersing It.
lA writer in an English journal tries
to show that the sea is fast encroach-
ing upon nee British Isle, and that in
the course of time England will be
onar•kei on the map as a vanished land.
He sun:
On the east coast, the sea is en-
croaching upon the land at an aston-
ishing rate. Seaside towns and villages,
holiday resorts, are gradually being eat-
en up, and the inhabitants driven in-
land. In many parts the sea runs up
on a beach which was once far inland.
In other cases, churches which were at
one time situated far from the sea now
stand at the edge of the Cliffs, and have
the sea lapping almost at their doors.
The"Goodwin Sands, about five miles
off the coast of Kent, were at one time
a portion of the mainland itself, and the
property of Earl Goodwin.
The coast of Norfolk is minus three
villages of which it was once possessed
—Shipden, Eccles and Wimpweil—all of
which have been taken into the arms of
the encroaching ocean. The Cromer of
nato -day
lCromerstands, miles inland of the origi-
Auburn and Harlburn, two Yorkshire
villages, once promised to develop into
seaport towns of considerable import-
ance,but, likeCanute,the
t the win of h
1Q
will of the inhabitants of these villages
was ignored by the rising sea, and Au-
burn and Harlburn now exist in mere
names and sandbanks,
Munwicli, on the coast of Suffolk, is
gradually being swallowed up. Every
now and then the inhabitants move a
distance inland, rebuild their houses and
shops, and wait patiently and philoso-
phically for the next 'notice to quit
fromlarfatethe sea. Many other seaside places
have suffered, or are suffering, a simi-
.
ft may be argued on the other hand
that some seaside towns are gradually
becoming inland towns by the failure
of the sea to "came up to the mark,"
and running out only to run in for a
shorter distance. Winchelsea, Sand-
wich, Rye and Southport are all suffer-
ing in this way. \Vtnchellsea and Rye '
were originally two of our Cinque Parts, '
but the sea has left them standing high
and dry. Sandwich was once„, a highly

The sea is leaving Southport quite in
the lurch; so much so, indeed, that the
inhabitants have had to sink extensive
lakes down on the bench to keep the sea
running off altogether and leaving
them merely an ordinary inland town.
But the extension of our island in
this way is very much less than the
encroaclument of the sea at other points,
and while our land is certainly becom-
ing more extensive in one direction, it
Is contracting, and with much greater
rapidity, in some other. And the ulti-

be pointed out by posterity as "the po-
sition in which Great Britain .s reputed
to have stood."
A CASE OF TELEGRAPHY.
One Lady Appeared in a Vision at the
Time of Her Death.
A gentleman took a house in Ireland
for six months, and was accompanied
thither by ,hitt wife and daughters. The
house was furnished and had plenty
of bedrooms. Therefore it was decid-
ed not to use a certain large, long room
with cupboards along one side (which
had all been locked and sealed up with
tape) in which things belonging to the
owners of the house had been put away.
One evening one of the daughters, going
to her room, saw an old lady wrapped
in a shawl walking along the passage
ins front of her. The old lady appeared
to know her way and hurried on with- ;
out hesitation into the unused room.
The girl called her sister and they fol-
lowed the dame into the room. But
all was silent; no one was there; the
dust lying about showed no signs of
footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearthrug b • fire-
light. Looking, up she beheld the old
lady standing in the doorway watch-
ing her. Greatly frightened, she sprang
up and, rushing downstairs, was found
fainting at the drawing -room door. At
last the family returned to Dublin. One
day when a friend was calling the cur-
ious incident which I have narrated was
referred to. The young lady very un-
willingly told her experiences. The visi-
tor seemed mueh struck and asked for
n • accurate description of the old lady.
"For," said she, that house belong-
ed to two old ladies, sisters, and when
they let their house they went to re-
side at Geneva. One of them, answer-
ing exactly to the description you have
given, died at tee time you saw her
appear."
TSL+ CNAON HAD ENOUGH.
An English canon of note used to tell
a good story of himself. In his cap-
acity of magistrate ehe was once visit-
ing the county jail, and expatiated to a
friend, who was with him on the vir-
tues of the trenchant., Warming with
his theme, he declared that he often
wished he had one at home to give him
the gentle exercise he required, but was
too lazy to take, except under compul-
sion; and, to remove his friend's skep-
ticism, he asked the warder to give him
a turn.
Round. went the =II, the canon de-
clared that the movement was delight-
ful; but after two minutes of it he had
bad quite enough and called on the of-
ficer to stop the mill. To his horror
the officer answered:
"Very sorry, sir; I can't. It's timed
to go 15 minutes and won't stop before.
