THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
are supposed to be a picnic -party, or a
ishingsparty, taking a rest -anything you
pleat° ; but of course we must all be to-
gether."
So that group also was taken, with the
Ilighland river scene for its background,
-aed then they went forward and overtook
the carrieire. Mary was much more cheer-
ful now, after getting away from that re-
proachful eight of Cestle Heimra.
Do you know' Mr. Ross," she was say-
ing, "1 am aboutto encounter the bitterest
erferny I have in the world?"
"1 cannot believe you have any enemy,"
was his reply. "But who 118 this?"
"dames Macdonald."
" Oh, Macdonald the crofter at Cruagan.
Well. what have you been doing to him ?"
“ What have I been to doing to him ?" she
said, with some epirin "You ehould rather
ask what have I been doiug for him. I
have been doing far top much for. him ; I
suppose that is why he hates me. What
haven's I done for him ! I took off the tax
for the dike; I handed over the pasturage
of Meall-na-Cruagan ; I had the decree of
removalquashed, and gave back his holdiug
after he had forfeited it; I,stopped the ac-
tion against him for cleforcing the sheriff's
officer. What marc? What more? And
yet he looks aa if he would like to murder
me if I try to speak to him,"
'6Have you any idea of the reason ?'.'
"Ye," said Mary, a iittle:proudly. "He
says that you are his 4aied, and not ; he
says I have nothing' to do with the land or
the people here."
" Macdonald is a foolish man -and stub-
born ; I will talk to him," he said, and he
was thoughtful fora second or two.
Indeed, when they arrived at the scat-
tered little hamlet of Cruagaas'it was not
the sun -pictures that occupiedMary Stan-
ley's attention. The photographer was al-
lowed to choose his subjects as he liked. For
in driving up, they had perceived the sullen
browed, Russian -looking crofter at work in
his patch of potatoes; and as soon as the
carriage stopped, young Ross left his com-
panions, stepped over the bit of wire fenoe,
and went along the potato drills. Macdon-
ald ceased working, and respectfully raised
his cap. Ross began speaking in a low
voice, and yet with some emphasis, as the
ladies in the wagonette could gather. It
was impossible for them to overhear the
words, even if they had beep able to under-
stand; but as he proceeded it was clear
enough that he was becomhsg angry and
indignant, the man with the shaggy
eyebrows and the determined jaw having
answered once or twice. Then almost sud-
denly there came a strange termination to
.this fierce encounter. Young Rose remain-
ed behind, glancing around him as if merely
wsnting to know whether the crop promised
well; but Macdonald came down the drills
in the direction of the carriage.
" Kathchen," said Mary, in an eager
whisper, "he is coming to speak to me. Let
me get out -quick !"
, She stepped into the roadway. As Mac-
donald came slowly toward e her he raised
his eyes and regarded her a .second in si-
lence. He took off his cap -aud forgot to
put it on again. He was thinking what, to

but you happiness really depends upon
yourselves. You can follow one of two
courses . You can spend these six weeks in
finding fault with eich other, fighting and
anatchieg when you get tired of this close
'confinement, as you inevitably will be. Or
you can make it a point to speak kindly ;
wait for whatever you want; be very par-
ticular about saying, ' I beg your pardon,'
when you interrupt cach other or pass in
front of each other ; end, in general, treat
each other like very fine gentlemen. I
would advise that each of you regard the
other as a foreign palace of great cense-
qence, who has come to pay you a visit, and
treat each other accordingly."
This concert pleased the boys, and the
six- weeks passed -not entirely without
collisions -but, on the whole with great
pleasure to all concerned. The boys atill
talk of "that beautiful time we had when
we had the scarlet fever." .
The children of a home will behave, usu-
ally, as their father and mother behave. A
man who habitually treats his wife and her
opinions with disrespect Will find his child-
ren treating her in the same way. If he
speaks crossly and unremionably to them,
they may not dare to retaliate upon hien,
but they will surely speak in the same way
to their mates. If a hither is ready always
to spring to his wife's assistance, to show
respect to her opinions, to read her import-
ant passages from papers or books, aud lis-
ten thoughtfully to her- csmments, the
children will pattern after him. Such
children will instinctively form conventional
good manners, but they will wear them un-
conventionally, which is, no doubt, the ob-
ject of all sooial training.

"Not at all -not at all; we are going to
be quite good friends, Mr. Macdonald -and
there's my hand on it," said she, in her
frank, impetuous way. "And you are go-
ing to ask me into your house ; and will you
give Me a little bit of oetcelte or something
of the kind -and when you are next over at
Lochgarra you muat not for et to come and
see me. And at any time, ind you, if you
have anything to complain f, come to me
first ; come direct to me.; d n't go to Mr.
Purdie or anybody, for perh pi 1 might be
able to settle the matter for you at once."
And with that she called on Mr. Ross
and told him they were goirtg into the cot-
tage to get a bit of oatcake, 1 for Macdonald
was already leading the way thither. When
they came out of -Macdonald's cottage they
found that the photographer had quite com-
pleted hie work, BO they at once set out for
home again. Mary was in an extraordinary
stateaot delight over this vanquishment of
her obdurate enemy, and said she should
take meene to remind him of their com-
pact of good -will. 13uti young Ross Only
laughed.
"'Wherefore he called that place Beer-
sheba,'" he said, " because there they
!were both of them.'"
The following Saturday was Mary Stan-
ley's birthday. Early in the morning she
and Kate, in fulfillment of a long-standing
engagement, drove away out to Craiglarig to
pay a visit to Mr. Watson and talk over
mime matters connected with his farm; and
as they stayed for lunch they did not get
hack till the afternoon. By that time the
mail had come isoind there was an astonish-
ing number of letters and parcels addressed
to Miss Stanley, for she had a largenumber
of friends in the south who held her' in kind-
ly remembrance.
She was looking at these mod guessing at
the sendere, when she came to one that was
- larger and heavier than the others ; more-
over, it had not come by post, but by hand.
Something impelled her to tear off the brown
wrapper, and behold, here was the Rhodian
dish she had so particularly admired when
they were out at Heimra Island.
"I saw he noticed how long you looked
at it," said Kathchen, with smilingteyes.
Well, she did not look at it !long now,
beautiful as it was. She had turned again
to the wrapper, and she seemed to take a
curious interest in studying her own name
as she found it there.
"It is an unusual handwriting, don't you
think so, Kathchen ?" she said glowly, and
almost as if she were talking to herself.
"Firm and precise, . How odd one's
-own name appears wraffou see it written
for the first time by some one you know. .
Do you think character can be read in hand-
writing, Kathehen ? . . Firmness -yes, ap-
parently, and precision -well, I don't object
to that so much . . but don't you think

think . a little too independent . . and
Treed in his own domain ?"
"I don't know about that at all. But I
am going to tell you something now, and
yOU may be angry or not as you please,"
said Kathchen ; and she went up to her
-friend and put her hand on her arm -per-,
baps she wanted to watch the expression of
her face-" Mamie," she said, " that man
loves you !"

Home Behavior.
It cannot be too early impressed upon
children that they are to keep their natural
proclivities under at home just the same as
abroad ; that they are to treat each other
just as kindly and politely as though they
were strangers paying each other visite.
Two boys, aged respectively twelve and
fourteen years, were recently attacked with
the scarlet fever, in a form so mild that they
were not for a moment debarred from fol-
lowing their usual pursuits, excepting that
they were ordered by their physician to be
confined in one room for six weeks. 'The
largest and pleasantest apartment in the
house was given up to them ; the books and
games that they liked beet were moved
there, and everything was arranged for their
comfort. Then their mother sat down for a
serious talk with them.
"Now, boys," she began, "here you are,
with the cook and me to wait upon you.
We will do all that we possibly can to en-
tertain you and keep you in good condition,

ful companion in the midst of the many trials
and hardships incident to s pioneer life.
Mr. Armstrong was a conscientious and
liberal member of the Presbyterian Church.
He was modest and unassuming in his
character'but firm and steadfast in main-
taining what he believed to be right. His
honee was always a home for ministers.
During his long continued Mims he was
cheerful; and looked upward -and onward in
faith and hope and increasing desire, "To
depart and to be with Chritst, which is far
better. As we think of bine we breathe the

NOTES BY THE WAY -Mr. Js Agin had
a wood bee on Wednesday of last week.
Quite a pile of wood was put up. -On Mon.
day of this week a number of young men
gathered at Mr. Peter Cantelon's to try
their skill at wood cutting. The boys say
the way the blocks fell was • caution. There
are some pretty good sawyers on the 6th
line when they come down to work. -A
good many are on the sick list this week
with bad oolds.-The public roads are in a
shocking state, and in many places no teams
can get through at all, especially on side-
lines. -A man was heard to say the other
day that it would take a hot sun in Jelly to
take away the drifts on some sideroads, but
we think he must have meant on the roads
is Gristles&
roost Ho Liz. -On Sunday evening,
12th ult., about 6.30 p. a. A most shock-
ing suicide was committed by Charles
Mitchell cutting his throat with a reaping
hook. Mr. Mitchell, it appears, was not
altogether right in his mind at the time and
had frequently told his son James, a boy of
16 years, that he had a good notion of put-
ting an end to himself. On one occasion he
told his son there was a hole in the ice near
Mr. McMurray's place, just the size for
him to crawl in and drown himself. When
his son told his father to come away into
the house he went and when on the path at
the door he said to his son : "New, I feel
like taking a good run through the fields.
This was a few days before the deed was
committed, and although he was well
watched and all sharp tools were concealed
from his sight, it appears a reaping hook
unnoticed by anyone was in the wood shed,
This he had seen when out for an armful of
wood, and at the hour named, he went out-
side, although a few of the neighbors were
there at the time, no one ever thought what
he went out for. A few moments after-
ward one of his daughters went outside and
was horrified to find her father lying on the
path. She gave the alarm, and on Mr.
Clark going out he found that Mr. Mitchell
had cut his throat. They carried him in,
and a physician was sent for, who dressed
the wound, but he gradually grew wea,ker
and died about midnight. He leaves a wife
and five children, two sons and three
daughters, to mourn his untimely end.

-More than -50 years ago a canal to con-

posed. While the cutting was leas than 15
miles long, it was claimed that ships taking
this route would save 200 miles in a round
