MARGARET RYMER.
They had One through the snow to
evening - service at North Orabb, the
Squire, Mrs. Todhetley, and Tod, leav-
ing me at home with one of my splitting
headaehes. _ Thomas had coine t(to ask
if I would have the lamR, but I told hint
would rather be withoue; it. So there
I sat alone, beside the fire, listening to
Hannah potting the children to bed up
steirs, - and looking sleepily out at the
landscape.
As Iie fire became , seeding the
room into gloom, the light outside grew
stronger. rhe moon was hi -clear
and blight as crystal; what with that,
anefilit perfectly white snow that lay on
everything, the night seemed nearly as
light as day. Thegrass plot outside was
a smooth white plain, the clustering
shrubs beyond it being also white. •
The moon grew darker, the landscape
lighter. • Asleep, in, another minute, I
should inevitably have been, but for a
eircumetanee that suddenly arose. All
in a moment -4 saw net holt, or whence
it came -:a -a dark figure appeared on the
grass plot, close before the bank of.
shrubs, right in front of me; the 'figure
of a man, wrapped in a 'big great -coat.
He was standing still and gazing fixedly
at the hOse. Gazing, as it seemed
(though that was -impossible) at me. I
was wide awake at once and sitting bolt
upright in the chair.
Yes, there could be no mistake; and
it was no delusion. The man was a tall
man, strong and. bony, With a mass of
hair on his face. What could he want?
Was it a robber reconnoitring the prem-
ises, peering and peeping to ascertain ,
whether. all the world was at church .be-
fore he went in to -title the house?
No one, void of such an experience,
can imagine how dark he looked, stand-
• ing there, amid the whiteness of all the
scene around. In Gee sense he stood
out more plainly than he could have
done by daylight, because- the contrast
was greater. But this kind of light did
not show his features, which, were
shrouded obsenrity.
Presently he moved. His head went
this way and. that, and he took a step
forward. Evidently he was trying to
see Whether the parlor where I sat was
empty or oecu,pied. Should I go out to

and call out to ask what he wanted ?
was not frightened; don't let anybody
think tint ;- but the watchinr, bim
• brought tome rather a creepy kind of
-sensation.
AS I left the chair quietly to open the
window, I heard the catch of the garden
gate, and somebody came whistling up
the path. The man vanished as if by
magic. While I looked, he was gone.
"Anybody at home?" called out Tom
Coney, as he stopped his whistling and
opened the hall door.
"Allright, Tom. Come along." .
And, to tell the truth; I was net sorry
to see Tom's hearty face. He had stayed
away from evening service to sit with
hiS mother.
"I say-, Tom, did you see any fellow
on the suow there?"
"On the snow where ?" asked Tom.
" There ; close before the shrubs."
And I told him what had happened.
Toro, one of the most practical fellows
livinn, with less imagination than an
ostrich, received the account incredu-
lously.
"You dropped asleep, Johnny, and
faneied .

den I was about to open the window and

and. woke -up anal said the sofa was on

" Tom, I tell you, the onan was there.
A tall, stroeg-looking fellow with a
board. He was staring at the house,
with all his might—at this room. as it
seemed_ to me, wanting to come forward,
I think. hut afraid to. He kept close to 4
the leures, as if he did net wish to be 1,
seen ; forgetting, perhaps, that they
were white and betrayed him. When t
you opened the gate he was there."
" is edd, then, where he could have
put himself," said Tom Coney, not giv-
ing an mele now not a soul
was there, all or womaii, when I came
up the path."
" That's- true. He vanished in a mo-
ment. While Lawn looking at him he
disappeared."
" Vanished ! Di4peared ! Your
words apply to a ghtst, Johnny."
Ghost be hanged ! It was some ill -
doles tramp, 1 expect, trying to look -and
see if he might steal into the house."

Nothing more was said about the man,
I and Tom Coney -e -who stayed supper—
held our tongues, as agreed upon. But

When- related, itilidnnot- seem to be
much. They had not seen it.
Timberdale Rectory was ,a cozy, old -
fashion( d hmise, its front walls covered
with ivy; and standing by itself amid
pasture land, a field's length from the
&Arch. Mrs. Todhetlea, sent me there
on Monday mop ng to invite the Rector,
Herbert Tanerton, ancl his wife to -dine
with us the next evening offa prime cod=
fish from London. The Squire and Ted
had gone out shooting. It was January
weather; cold and bright, with a frosty
sky: Icicles drooped from the trees.
and the snow in Grabb ravine was above
my ankles. The meter had.
•should go the road -way, Johnny," but I
did not mind the snow.
In Timberdale I met Margaret Rymer.
She had. h-er black cloak and boneet on,
and the gentle and refined face,with its
mild brown eyes, put me, mare than ever.
in minsl of her dead father.
I dare say nobody remembetrs her.
But I told something about her and -her
people along while ego. Thomas Ry-
mer, a gentleman born, but who -was
kept down by circumstances and never
got on to peas for a surgeon, had -kept
the druggist shop at Timberdale. His
wife was just as vulgar as he,was refined,
and they- had two children : Benjamin,
who folloWed his pother in looks, and
turned out not oveha-ell, and Margaret,
who was like her father, When Thomas
Rymer died, partly* of cold me chest,
partly of a broken heart, A.fargieret con-
tinued to keep the business going. She
understood the drugs thoroughly. Dur-
ing the ten month, or • so, that had
elapsed since, the 45n had not made his
-
appearance at home, Timberdale would
say, " Why does not Benjamin come
back to carry on the busfness in his
father's place?" but it got u.o satisfac-
tory answer. Latterly, Timberdale had
let Benjamin alone, and busied itself
with Margaret.
Some six months ago the Reverend
Isaac Sale had _dome to Timberdale, as.
curate. He was an abrupt, dark little
man of sterling worth, and some thireye'
years of age'—older than the Rector.
Margaret Rymer met 'him at the Sun-
day school, where she taught regularly,
and he fell desperately in love with her
—if it's not wrong to say that of a par-
son. In position she was not his equal;
but Mr. Sale made no -secret that he
wanted Margaret to be his wife. Mrs.
Ryrner opposed it • how as thebusiness
to be kept going withouthMargaret, she
demanded; or herself either? •
Mr. Sale had taken the curacy as only
a temporary thing. He wee waitingfor
some expected appointhhent abroad.
When it fell, Margaret Rymer would
have to choose between sailing With him
as his wife, or staying at home and giv-
ing him up for pod. So • said Timber -
dale. -
'After gtanding to talk a bit -with Man

rand for her mother, I ran on to the rec-
tory, Mr. Tanerton and- his wife were
in the snug little how-svinclowed front
roonn He, spare and colorless, young,
yet with cold gray eyes and thin light
whisker, sat by the blazing fire of wood
and coal, that went roaring and sparkl-
ing up the chimney. Somehow Herbert
Tanerton gave you the idea of being al-
ways in a chill. Intending to be kind in
the main, he was yet severe, taking too
much note of effences, anl expecting all
the world, and especially his own freek,
te• be better than gold. -

hearted, sat at the window., stitching a
wrist -band for some oae oy other of her
husband's shirts—he was as partianlar
over them as he was over the parish sins

" What about ?" I asked, a,s the flee -
tor turned_ in his ehair to shake hands
with me.
Mr. Sale is going to leave," said she,
as I sat down -by the table. "The ap-

‘.‘ Mr. Rymer told me on. his death-
bed I was attending him spiritually.
Of course, I have never spoken of it
to my wife; 1 should not think .of
speaking of it, but I consider that it
lies in my duty to disclose the facts to
Mr. Sale."
"Oh, - no, don'—don't, Please, Mr.
Tanerton !".I cried out, starting up in a
sort of distress, for the words seemed to
take had of me. " No one knows of it:
no one bat ,the Squire and I, as you say,
and Mrs. Rymer, and you, and Ben him-
self; Jelf's dead you . know. It need
never be brought up again, in this world.;
and I 'dare say. it never will be.
Pray don't tell Mr. Sale, for Margaret's
sake." •
"But I have said that 1 considenit my
duty to tell him," replied the parson,:
steadily. "Here he comes !"
I turned to the window, and saw sale
trudging up to the parsonage, throuah
the snowy deld pathway, his black hair,
and. red, rugged face presenting a kind of
contrast to the white. glare around. Ugly
he might be called„; but it was a face to
be liked; for all that. - And the ring of
his voice was true and earnest.
The affair, alluded. to by Rector,
was this. Ben Rymer, who, had receiv-
ed a. classical and liberal- educa-
tion, had been iintended for a surgeou,
Tel give him a knowledge of the -proper-
ties of drugs anchmedicines, Mr. Rymer
had first put him behind his own coun-
ter at Timberdale, and then placed him
with a chemist at .Tewkesbory. There
Ben fell into bad companionship. -Later
when he was again staying at home, he
visited. the 1.etter-bag one night, (Mr.
Rymer was then Postmaster of Timber -
dale,) opened a letter that was addressed
to his. Todhetley, took out a five -pound
• note it contained, (aud which he chanced
to know was there,) and. _sabstituted :an-
other for it. This other was a, note
'stolen et Tewkesbury by . some of Ben's
companiceas ; they had given it to him
to get rid of, and that's the way he. did
it. Fpr some time the changing ,of the
notes .was enveloped • in foe,— or, as
Thortiadhltymer himself expressed it, in
a sea of mystery ; later, Ben'sshare in
it came out. Not to the world in genere
al; only -to one or two items of its peo-
ple. • It helped to kill Thomas Rymer,
and it sent Mr. Ben elf oil his wander-
ingsagain.. It was a bit of ill -luck for
him, for he had really pulled up, was
reading hard at. his medical books, and
boeome as steady as could be. • Never,
since theu—some ten inonths ago now:_
ad Ben been heard of, And it was
this that Herbert Tan e r to Was no w
threatening to disclose to the Curate.
But I did not think he'd do it. .
c` We. were just talking . you," was
the Rector's greeting to Mr. Sale as the
'Curate came into the room. "Bring a
chair to the front of the lire ; .Tolumv,
keep your seat. I'm sure it's cold
enough to make one wish to be in. the
fire to -day inetead of rolled .
" What were you. saying about me ?"
asked Mr. Sale; drawing forward the
chair, ana giving me a nod in his short
way. • • I came to tell you how ill
Jae Batty is. I'm not sure she'll get
over it." •
" Oh, said the Rector, in a slighting
tone, as if Jael Batty had no right to in-
trude herself into more momentous con-
versation. " Bathy is careless and. in-
different in her duties, and makes her
deafness, an eacuse for not coming to
church. I'll try aril see her in the
course of the day. We were speaking of
Miss Rymer." •
Herbert Tanerton, I believe, had peo-
ple's 'Welfare at heart ; but he had amid
way of sayiug things that seemed to take
all the kindness out of his words. If
ouce he considered it was his duty to
tell a fellow or his faults, tell be dad,
face to face, in the most; uncomprchnising
manner. He had decided that his duty
lay with Sale to -day, and he 'beean

" But you are a gentlemaa iu position

The Hotels of New York.
Few persons are aware Of the magn

bullocks every week, making it neee
sary to kill 20,000 bead of cattle ever
year to feed the guests of only a sma 1
'portiou of the hotele in this city. • Th
• aggregate consumption. of mutton, vea
pork, Ste., is also very large. It will b
seen- that the yearly consumption of fis i
is nearly: 600,000.pounds, while 15,000,L.
000 oysters arc required during the same
period. Five -millions Of eggs are • alsit
used in these 16 hotels during the yea,r,.

of the neighboring market • gardens.
Nearly 150.000 pounds of coffee, 35,000.
pounds of tear and nearly 700,000 poluads
of sugar are wanted every year. Over
35,008 cans of milk (or about a million
and a half of (parts) and nearly' 170,000
quarts of cream are necessary for the use
of these hotels, and the. product of sev-
eral dairies In the country is thns con-
sumed. Over 450,009 pounds of butter
are also used every year. Apples and
_dried fruits have to be supplied in large
. quantities, and one hotel uses over four'
boxes of lemons every.weet in cooking. -

sert, form a large portion of the expens
