Mei
dear, you tire very young, and 1am old,
let me give you a piece of advice."
tt yeksire assented Miss Ogilvie,with
"You've read the story of Burns' life,
*sun e.
eel/A.7098e, and you know how the fine
ladies andgentlemen who dwell at ease
toed him. I took myself to task foe re-
vealing yOUT identity to such a leader in
society aa Lady Bassett, but if you keep
Burns m mind, and don't let them poil
you there's no harm done."
1
esia Ogilvie laughed in pure amuse-
ment.,
"I shall not forget your advice, Mr.
Warren, but I think you need have no
fear for me. I can estimate the great
world at its worth, take what it , can
give me, and pass on, it us to busi-
ness now, if you please," she said in her
clear, practical way. "Will you be
ailli.4 ta consider another piece of work
frem my pen by-and-by ? "
"Are you writing again?" atiked
the publisher in genuine amazement.
"I write continuously, sir. It ie no
trouble to me."
"It won't da. If you are to suetain
the reputation your first venture has
won, you must give your brain a rest.
I wouldn't mind if you produced noth-
ing more for five years, if at the end of
that time you could lay before me some-
thing equal to 'Ambition.' You will
find that prolific writers do not produce
the best work. Literature which is to
last, bliss Ogilvie, requires time iet com-
ing to maturity. Nourish your rare
gifts in the dews of quiet thought, and
our most ambitioua hopes for you will
be abundantly fulfilled."
"I will remember what you say, Mr.
Warren," said Miss Ogilvie, "and try
to follow your advice; but thoughts
come to me with such a rush at times
that it is a positive relief, a necessity
too, I hold, to put them into word."
"Well, Miss Ogilvie, all the magazine
editors are down upon me to make you
known to them, but I am going to keep
you out of their clutches as long as I
can—till the summer is past at any rate.
My wife and family are going to St.
Leonards -on -Sea for the Easter heliday8.
ff you will join us there we shall prom -
be you a pleasant rest." ,
"Thanks." Very grateful were the;
oyea uplifted to the publisher's , face.
"But I have already promised to spend
Easter with Lady Bassett in Kent."
A curious expression flitted across the
-
face of Mr. Warren, but he made no re-
markheyond expressing a polite hope
that she would have a pleasant holiday.
Then Miss Ogilvie took her leave.
At home she found a note from, Lady
Bassett, which ran—
"23 Harley Street, 17.th March.
"Dear Barbara,—I am going out of
town for a few days, returning io time
for my assembly on the 29th. Remem-
ber I expect you early that day,and will
find it hard to forgive you if you. tail me.
—Your friend, E. E. BASSETT."
With the open letter in her hand,
Barbara sat down by the fire and fell to
thinking many things. Scarcely eigh-
teen month had passed since she had
quitted Little Wymar in despised ob-
scurity, and already she was spoken of
in the high places of the earth as one
whom ail delighted to honor. She was
conscious of no proud exultation for it
was only the fulfilment of an eapected
desire, the resule of an indomitable per-
severance and resolute will. She had
registered a vow to stand upon the pin-
nacle of the world's fame,and even now;
when it was coming very near her, like
Dead Sea frult,it was bitter to the taste,
and her woman's heart was desiolitte and
void, and crying out for some other
thing to satisfy its innermost needs.
Finding her musings unprofitable and
unsatisfactory, she rose and went to her
study, to the work which she had elect-
ed to be all -sufficient for her lif . But
thoughts were hampered, and refused to
flow from her pen with their iwonted
vigor and ease. Her heart was troubled
and restless, and would not be stilled
even at the voice of the will which she
desired to be the ruling powerl of her
life.
The week during which Lady
was out of town seetned intolera
to the girl whose life she had so
ed and blessed by her friendship. Bar-
bara had paid many visits to Harley
Street, but hitherto they had been of a
private nature, such -as morning, calls or
afternoon, teas; but she had a length
yielded to her friend's entre ty, and
promised to appear at her aesembly,
and to be introduced to certain !celebrit-
ies who were eager to make her acquain-
tance. On the morning of the 29th the
well-known greys appeared in Egbert
Street, and the footman announced that
he had been sent for Miss Ogilvie. Elspet
whose adoring admiration for her young
mistress was almost amusing'n its in.
tensity, got into her usual sta e of ex-
citement at the appearance of the grand
equipage from Harley Street, and ran to
help her to get her things together, talk-
ing all the while.
" It's something like the thing, my
_ dearie, tae see ye gettin' ready for a
dance, an I'm glad tae see ye game intae
society befittin' a granctabachter o'
Dunire. Mony a braw dance hae I dress-
ed yer mither for. I only Wish her
leddyship had letten me gang we ye tae
pit ye intae yer goon i' the efter-
nune. ' .
Barbarar listened to the old woman's
half proud, half tender words, and smil-
ed to herself a little sadly. Any allusion
to the fair, delicate, frail mother, whom
she had loved with a most passionate
devotion, awoke many thronging mem-
ories in her heart.
"1 sometimes think, 14.11spet," she
said, as she watched the old woman lay-
ing her delicate evening attire in its
wrappings of white paper ; "I often
think it would have been bettor for me
never to have known any other life than
the quiet one I lived here with you."
" Wheeslit, bairn," said II: spet, in a
reproving voice. " Did ye think an
Ogilvie cs' Dunire wad hide. Na, na ;
ye was made to shine amang braw folk;
an ye hae gotten in arnang them by a
queer lea.din' o' Providence. God
bless ye, my lamb, an' gie ye a happy
nicht an' a licht heart tae keep time tae
the music. My respecks tae that donee
svuinmin, Iseddv Bassett."
"Good-bye, Elspet, I'll be home some
tune to -morrow," said Barboaa, putting
up her lips for the kiss without which
she never left her faithful fiend. " I
don't know what is going to happen to
me to -day. I fear I'm going to meet my
weird, as they say in the north countrie,
she added. gaily, and ran downstairs to
the carriage.
(To be continued.)
The Weather Prophet.
Beneath the weather-beaten porch
That shades the village store,
He sits at ease, an aged man
Of threescore years or more.
That ample seat for him is placed
Beside the open door.
His face is very keen and shrewd,
And piercing are his eyes,
As with an air of prophecy
He scans the cloudy skies;
And children look with awe on him,
For he is weather-wise.
And jolly farmers, riding by
On loads of fragrant hay,
C,all out, "Good morning, Uncle Din 1"
And, "Will it rain to -day?"
While boys who would a -fishing go
Await what he will say.
"Wal, et the wind should change about
(They listen eagerly,
But he is very slow and calm—
‘For thus should prophets be).
" Mebbe them clouds will bring us
But 1 dunno," nye he.
And ever, as the seasons come,
And as tne seasons go,
The oracle is asked the signs
Of wind, or rain, or snow;
But still he never hesitates
To answer, "1 dunno 1"

The Selo' ntist and the Maniac.
The casa of the late mad King Louis
of Bavaris., says an exchange, revived
the very old qiiestion as to where reason
ends andemadness begins. Apropos of
the discussion „ a French paper tells a
story: Daring one of his visits to Paris,
Baron von i Hemboldt expressed to his
friend, Dr. Illanche, the distinguished
authority: in matters concerning in-
sanity, a: desire to meet one of his
patients.
"Nothing easier," said Dr. Blanche.
" Come and take dinner with me to-
morrow."
Next day Humboldt found himself
seated at the dinner table of the famous
alienist, in company with two unknown
guests. One of them, who was dressed
in black, with white cravat, gold -bowed
spectacle*, and who had a smooth face
and very bald head, sat with great grav-
ity through the entire dinner. He was
evidently' a gentleman of undoubted
manners,' but very taciturn. He bowed,
ate, and staid not a word._
The other guest, on the contrary,
wore a great shock of hair brushed wild-
ly into the air e his shabby blue coat
was buttoned askew, his collar was
rumpled, and the ends of his crazy neck-
tie floated over his shoulders. He help-
ed himseilf, ate, and chatted at the same
time.
Story upou story did this incoherent
person pile up. He mixed the past with
the present, flew from Swedenborg to
Fourier, from Cleopatra to Jenny Lind,
from Aechimedes to Lamartine, and
talked politics and literature in the
same breath.
At the dessert Humboldt 'leaned over
and whispered in his host's ear, glancing
at the same time at the fantastic person-
age, whose discourses was still running
on.
"I'm very much obliged to you.
Your n4tniae has greatly amused me."
"My maniac ! " said the doctor,
starting back. "Why, that isn't the
lunatic / It's the other one."
" Whlat ! ,The one who hasn't said a
word ?"

"But who in the world can the man

while?'
