D. D. WILSON. NOVEMBER 9, 1877. Be looks at me so tenderly and engin a Iy that I see in. that moment that his friendship for me has turned to love, and I feel that I cannot return it, and dare not answer him " Lois, won't you come out ? ! Do, darling, for I must tell you that I love you and hear that you love me." Ido not know what to say ; he is my friend, and I amso fond of him that I do not wish to hurt -him ; yet I cannot give him the answer he wishes to hear, for I do not love him. I am trying to frame a reply when auntie comes up to us and tells me it is time to leave. 1 answer hu rzedly : '"Yes, auntie, I will get my cloak :" ;A,nd I gave Philip a look to follow me but Aunt Mary had checkmated me here, for she hands me my wrap, and then takes Philip's arm. As he puts mo in the carriage he says: Write me an answerin time to let me come and see you to -morrow, before. Ileave linory. I nod Cocassent, then lean back, cover myhead over, and pretend to be asleep. Why could not Philip have remained my friend? Why does he want so much more than I can give ? When I got to my own. room I take out my desk and write a letter to Philip. I want it to be kind and friendly ; but I wish him to understand I have no love to give in return for his. First, I write a long letter, telling him he has Mistaken friendship for love ;- but I feel '1 am wronging him by such a supposi- tion, so I tear it up, and write justwhat I shouldhave said to him had time al- lowed : D; ATI PHILIP Forgive me if I have ever led you to believe my affection for you was any other than that of friend- ship. I ana sorry that yon love me, for I have no love to offer you in return, but shall always remain, dear Philip, your true friend, J Lois. It is broad daylight before I- have finished this short epistle, so I do not attempt to go to bed, for I see it is 6 o'clock, but I change my dress and run over to the rectory with my note, . , drop it into the letter -box, and get .home again long before auntie is down. After breakfast she orders the carriage round and asks me to go out for a drive with her. I see her reason ; she is afraid. Philip will come over and that we shall go out for a walk. I know that he will not, so I assent readily. As we are on the way home we meet the rectory carriage returning from the station, and I know that Philip Graham has gone. I am very weary, and go to bed early. Auntie wonders next day why Philip does not call, and I tell her that he has left Coohmory, and is.. going to -India. She replies that he might have been polite enough to have c: lied to ' say good-bye ; and then severely censures him for his inattention. This 1 cannot bear, for I am very fond of Philip, and I will not hear a word against him. I feel weak and hysterical, and burst out crying in a foolish way ; then rush out of the house down to the river, where we had so often been together. I throw myself down on the grass and have a good cry ; then wander about to all the places where I bad been so happy, and remember every word that Philip said, and everything that I had clone, even to my romp in the clover -field. Everything is the same, but the country seems to have lost its charm. The sun is just as bright, the grass just as green, the river just as rippling ; but I want to go home. I am longing to see mother and the girls, and to have no time or opportunity to think of the past month. I am pining- for change, for nothing seems pleasant to me at Coolmory now ; but most of all I am longing to see Philip again. If I could only see him down by the river once more, only have time to tell him that my letter was a mistake, and that hove hist more than life ! - It is too lata now, and I only look for- ward to see Barbara and Helen, and trying to forget my Summer holiday. I never thought how golden the days were, or what made them so bright to Me, until Philip left; now all the glory of my life seems to have departed with him., and I feel as if the beauties of Coolmory are mocking at my misery, and I desire as much. to go home as I longed a month ago to come down to Aunt Mary's. CHAPTER IV. I have been home some months now, and everything is the same as ever. Mother is just as busy about getting us married as she was last season, only that she seems to have given me up al- together, and I am allowed to accept or refuse invitations at my own sweet will. We spent the Autumn at a semi - fashionable watering -place, and made some new acquaintances—among others a Mr. Jerome -Beauchamp, who is very attentive to us all. Mother has great hopes of his ultimately making one of us Mrs. Jerome Beauchamp : but 1 have my doubts on the subject, and look upon him as quite a confirmed old bachelor. He is an amusing, clever man, and does not bore me in the least, consequently we get on very well to- gether. 1 have never told -any one about Philip Graham, no even asked Aunt Mary for news of him. When I first came home I tried. to forget him, but every day I think of him, axed wonder if I shall ever again see his grave, serious smile, or hear his melodious laugh. It is nearly a year since I went down to Coolmory, and we have again glori- ous Summer weather. The season is in full swing, and we no out a great deal. I seem to have rest all my girlish whole -heartedness, and enjoy nothing with the old joyousness ; but I go out and my thoughts are distracted while I dance and talk, but when 1 come home I feel weary of it all, and then - think how happy I might have been with Philip if I had answered his question differently that morning a year ago. often wonder. if he is still. in India, or if he returned home at office; and also if he inet any efirl on his voyage there or' back who has made him for-' get ine. I feel as if I should be happier if I knew these -things concerning loin, and then. I argue with myself that he is nothing to me now, and my stock of logic is exhausted in the conviction that he is clearer to ir_e than all the world. I am in this frame of mind ,one morning when father sends for mo, and When I reach his study I find mother awaiting with him for' me. Mother is looking delighted about something, and father is looking worried. They do not keep me long waiting before I have heard their reason for sending for me, namely, that Mr. Jerome Beauchamp has done me the honor of proposing to father for my hand and youthful af- fections.. - Father goes on to tell that both mother and he approve of the match, and that they have given Mr. Beau- champ permission to . plead his cause wahine. I listen silently until father has finished speaking, then break out in a passionate refusal to see Mr. Beau- champ, mach less to become his wife. -Father looks quite relieved at my an- swer, but mother seems disappointed, and I wish it was in my power to pass Mr. Beauchamp's offer of marriage on to_ Barbara or Helen. After this little episode my life seems even darker, for Mr. Beauchamp used to lend me clever books, and his con- versations were always brilliant and amusing. Now my refusal of him has vexed mother, and nothing I can say or do will please her. Evidently Mr. Beauchamp will not take father's an- swer as a decided one, because t's morning I received a letter from him, in which he begs so earnestly for: my love, and promises to makewlife so pleas- ant to me, that for one moment I feel inclined to lett" the dead past bury its dead, and to become his wife, if he will have me when I tell 'him all my love was givenawky long ago to Philip Graham, but Iemember Philip's words; and that he considers me true and worthy ; so while the otheis go out to the Park I stay at home to; have a quiet afternoon .to answer Mr..Beau- champ's letter, and to tell him that I cannot marry him. It is a brilliant day, and I am writing in father's study. I am very puzzled what to say to Mr. Beauchamp, and my thoughts revert to that other letter I wrote to Philip this time a year ago. I pass my fingers through my hair with a vague idea that that will help me what to say, when I hear the study door open and close again from the outside ; then I look up to see who has entered, and can scarcely beliee my eyes, for it is Philip Graham. , In that one glance I can see that Philip loves me still, and that no one has come be eveen us, That he loves me with the same. passionate longing is evident; for before either of us has time to reflect he has caught me to him, and I have thrown my arms round his neck, and -can say nothing but "'Philip," while he smooths my hair and mw:- murs, " Lois ! my little Lois!" Then he puts me from him while he says: " Lois, I should never have intruded on, you, but I came to see your father on business, and they told me that no one was at home." Here I cannot help interrupting him with my exclamation of : Oh Philip, it is what I have- been praying for night and day," Then I break down, and cover my face with my hands, as I remember that he has not said anything to me that has given me any right to ifevert to old times. '` At length I look up, and find the same fond old smile on his face as he takes my hard, and says : Sod, Lois, you do love me, though_ you -wrote that letter, which has kept me an exile for a year ?" And my eyes answer for me ; for in another moment I am in his arms again, and he is pressing hi& lips to mine. •' I came on here from your father's office to get him to draw up an agree- ment for a partnership with DrL Drew- itt ; but now he will have to give me a deed of gift instead ; for I shall not give ou up easily this time, little Lois. Before the others come in e have settled everything ; and Philip nd I are looking forward to spending ma, y gc1d- en Summer days together.--,Tinsley's Af agazine. Married .in. the Dark. About twenty years ago there lived in 'central Michigan a curious old Bene- dict named Dodsworth. At the age of 50 he married a girl of 20, and when.the .urden of 60 years bore him down, his e was only half his age. Dodswojth- was noted for peculiarities, but the oli-. ax came when he found himself on s dying bed.. He was worth about $30,000, and hadn't a blood relative liv- ng, so far as he knew. He .wanted to . eave his. property to his wife, as the air had lived very happily, but 3 et he ould not, leave it' without displaying oineof his peculiarities in the provi- sions of the will. Some old men dis- lay a mean spirit when making their ills, and draft in a provision, cutting rhe .wife off with a shilling if she mar- ies again. This old man wasn't of hat stamp. His young wife was good- . i ooking, vivacious, fond of sooiety, and t was folly to suppose she would not . ourn for her " late departed " any ength of time. Therefore, mt. Dods_ orth turned his heel on the usual cos oma; and said in.his will : " In case my wife Celia does not take into herself another husband within 13 months from date of my burial, all be- quests otherwise made in this will are to revert to the State of Michigan, to be used for building and furnishing a home for old. women." Whether Celia was pleased or dis- pleased at this provision deponent saith not, but the old man had not been un- der the sod more than six months when the widow was said to be looting out for another man. If it was singular for the dying Dodsworth t) urge his wife to marry again, it was still more singu- lar that he should desire the ceremony to be performed under the following cir- ' cumstances, viz.: " And it is made incumbent on said Celia Dodsworth that in taking a ngw husband, the marriage ceremony shall bo performed in the bigbaro on my farm, on the H road. It shall take E place at 10 o'clock in the evening, on the main floor, without lights of any description, with all doors shut, and a free invitation shall be extended to all. The clergyman shall stand in the sta- bles, and the bride and groom on the main floor, and the principal, parties to the ceremony shall be dressed in black throughout." The widow announced her intention to faithfully obey in spirit and letter, the will was probated, and the twelfth month had scarcely • passed before she issued an invitation for the public to attend a wedding at the big barn. Just who the groom was to be no one could positively assert, as the widow had been keeping company with a widower, a bachelor, and two young men, and : as far as any outsider could tell, she loved one as well as the other. Being good- looking and talented, and having for- tune behind her, it was not strange that Ishe should have a number of suitors. i!. I. r TIE HURON EgPOSItOR, She seemed to enter into the spirit cif the affair with great zest, as also did the minister ; and to further mystify the people in attendance the bride en- tered the barn alone at one door, the groom alone at another, and no one knew that the minister had arrived un- til his voice was heard in the stablesj. There were, at least, 200 people present, and each one understood that even the striking of a match would break the will. Many jokes were passed and con- siderable confusion existed, but at last the minister announced that all was Teady. The ceremony was gone through with, and at its conclusion, the affa' having been a " profound success," rush was made for the bride. She wa kissed by a hundred men, and was theist carried home, a distance of a mile and a half, in a big arm -chair- Now come the mystery. When the lady was se down at her own door the widower, th bachelor,. and the two young men each claimed to be her true and lawful bus band. None of the crowd could say who was the lucky man, the minister was at sea, and the bride herself seem- ed to have doubts. The widower was the man of her choice, but in the con- fusion he could have been hustled aside, and he did affirm that an attempt was made to choke him and get him out of the barn. The bachelor vowed that she had promised to marry him, as also did both young men, and each one wa sure that he held the widow's plume hand, and was legally married to here. The four men had a . fight, but tha didn't mend matters. The crowd duo ed two of them in a creek, but that didn't decide the question. Just how it would have determined had not the widower -been a man of nerve no on can tell, as `the other three had alread r applied to the law, when the widower steppedin and took his place as hueL band, and settled with the others fol. $2,000 each. One of the young men, now over 40 years old, and having all the wife he wants (she weighs over 23 pounds), is living in this city, and, dur- ing the interview with him to -day, he solemnly and earnestly assured your corresppndent that he was legally mar; ried to the widow Dodsworth that night in the big barn. Another of the parties lives nil Clinton county, and he has time and again asserted that he is the wot. man's true and lawful husband, so help him God. The bachelor is dead, but. were he alive and kicking he would renew iris oft -repeated protestations :— " I married her, by gum, and, by gum, I ought to have her ? "—New York Herald; Wipe Your Feet, Mrs. M'Far= lane. Ye will nae doot think that's rather queer headin' for a noospaper artikle, but if you follow_ me an' see hoo I hap been tormentit wi' thae five wirds, you will confess that I hae some cause to complain o' them. Ye see, sir, my neebor wife got a braw new door mat, ane o' thae new kind o'• indiarubber apes, wi' " Wipe your feet" on it. I took a great fancy till'd, an' I asked her whaur she got it. " 0," says she, "I got it made to order at the pat- ent indiarubber works." So,, thinks I to mysel', I'll tak' the shine oot' o' you, my lady. I'll. hae my name on mine. So off I goes tae the warks an' I order- ed ane the same as Mrs. Scott's wi' my name on it. In due time my mat cam' hame, an' I was unto prood o't, an' at ance , put it at my door. I saw Mrs. Scott ant twa or three looking at it an' lauchin'.' Thinks I to mysel', that's in- to ye at ony rate. I had occasion to go into Mrs. Davidson's in the afternoon, an' I was scarcely in at the door when she says, " I say, Mrs. M'Farlane, hae yon wipet your feet ?" " Weel, Mrs. Davidson," says I, " I did wipe my feet' but I dinna see muckle use there his o, makin' a sang aboot wipin' my feet when I come into your hquse, for I've seen a cleaner anemony a time." " Nae doot, nqe Boot, but ye see I hae naething to warn me to keep my feet clean, sa I maun be excused. When I- cam' out I began to think there is surely something wrang wi' my feet, and I was standin' lookin' at them to see if I hadna been trampin' on some nasty thing, when a bit laddie wha was playin' at the bools, lookin' at me, saing out, " Wipe your feet Mrs. M' Farlane," and ran awa' lagchin' like a pouch. But to croon a' there was•Mrs. _ Tamson's parrot in its cage hangin' out at the window cryin' "Buy Sand, buy Sand.", It turned the side o' its heed to me an' sings oot, - " Wipe your feet, Mrs. M'Farlane," an' then it roared an' leached just like a human bein'. " The dell's in the beast," quo' I, " there maun surely he something wrang wi' my feet. But I ought to be thankfn' I hae some- thing to, wipe them on. I hae a bran new mat, an' it's nae ilka ane that can say sae. Hame I gaes, an' before wipin' my feet, I looks at my brow mat, when to my utter astonishment, it was lyin' lookin' up in my face, an' sayin' in its quiet way, "Wipe your feet, Mrs.lane." • Into the hoose I goes an' cries to Sandy, " Sandy, M'Farlane, do ye see onything wrang wi' my feet? Are they clean, or what on earth can it mean, for the very birds i' the air are cryin' to me, ' Wipe your feet Mrs. 14PFarlane.' '! " Aweel," says he, " listen to me, Kir' sty, an' I'll tell ye a story that may open yer e'en. There was ance ip Dundee queer ehiel ca'd Willie Harra. Willie was ane day turnin, up the coo's beddinJJ' wi' a graip, when the thrawn brute gied him a kick wi' its hint leg. Willie re- tained the compliment by.stickin'• the graip into Doddie's side. " Boo ! " oo !'$ roared the poor beast, wi' perfect painl " Boo ! oa ! awa," said Willie, " boo., 00 ! 3•e brute, wha began it first?" Noo Kirsty, I will ask ye wha began it first ?

The French laborer probably gets .� more for his wages than any other. His food is cheaper and more nourishing. His bouillon is the liquid essence of beef at a penny per bowl. His bread at the restaurant is thrown in without any charge, and is the beat bread in the world. His hot coffee and milk are ped- dled about the streets in the morning at a son per cup. It is coffee, not slops. His half bottle of claret is thrown in all a meal costing 12 cents. For a few' cents he may enjoy an evening's amuse- ment at one of the many minor theatres, with his coffee free. Sixpence ays for a nicely cushioned seat at the eatre. No gallery gods, no4reannts,pipe, smoke, drunkenness, yelling or howling The Jardines des Plantes, the vast alleries and museums of the Lop.vre,Hote Cluny, palace of the Luxembourg and VrsaiIles are free for him to enter. Art a d. sci- ences hold, out to him their hoicest treasures at small cost pr no cost at all. French economy and frugality do not mean that constant retrenchm nt and self-denial which would deprive life of everything which makes it wort living for. Economy in France more an in any other country means a utilization of what America throws away, but it does not mean a pinchingprpcess of reducing life to a barren existence of work and bread and water.—St. Louis Republican.
