" Above' all, be sane," he kept repeating, to himaelft In such an all- important thing as marriage, why should .one give way to delirium ? • It was in the Midst Of these hogitittionsto- *hich, however just ond rational they may .have sounded in his mental ears, left behind them a curious haunting sensation of uh- easioess and distrust, as if be had been per-- suading himself to go forward to do seine - thing from which he instinctively shrank back -it was in the midst of these repiesen- tations and forecasts that Sidney chanced to find himself on Henley,Bridge, and there he psused for a moment to look at a boat that was comiag do tm-stream. The solit rtry oarsman as a podgy young man -in gay white flannels and smart straw hat, who was evidently proud of his performance, looking neither to the right nor to the left, but swinging along in splendid style. Sid- ney waited to see him shoot the -bridge-no great feat, byothe-way, for the arches, thoagh low, are wide enough ; but it slid-. denly" became evident that in his blind eagerness • the oarsman bad forgotten about the bridge -that he was, in fact, about to go full tilt on to the middle pier. "Hi, an ! Look out ! Where- are you coming.to ?" Hanle yelled. It was too late: Crash went the bow on- to the stone buttress ; one oar flew out of the young man's hand ; the boat swung round and the next instant all had disap- peared, borne on by the current. Sidney ran to the other side of the bridge. The first thing he saw: was an oar ; then the boat keel uppennoet ; then the young man violently struggling in the water, wildly pawing with both arms; and doing- his dead best to drown himself. For a second he got hold of an oar, but that seemed to yield with him ; or pethap3 in bit fright he did not know what he -etts doing ; at all events, he let go, and was again helplessly floundering. This could not last tong, as - Sidney Hume perceived. He hastily dis- possessed himself of his coat and hat, slip- ped over the parapet, dived, and preently, • after, a few rapid strokes, had reached and seized the dangerous creature, who clung to him with frantic grips. At the same mit- ment a young fellw; who hbppened to be pushing off in a gondola a little farther down the river, gently and skilfully propelled that long black vessel towards these two. Sidney caught hold of the steel prow, the gondolier continued his cautious course, and in a couple of minutes they were at the bank, where there was plenty of assistance to help them out. Another boat was put off to in- tercept the wrecked emit, the oars, and the , elegant straw hat -all of which were gent-, ly floating down on the stream. The inci- dent did not attract much attention '• they are used to such things at Henley ; besides, there was hardly any one about. At first • the stout young man, all dripping and dishevelled, .seemed too bewildered and ex- hausted to understand. just what had ointir- red ; he stood there in limp fashion, pant- ing and gasping to recover his breath. THE HANDSOME HUME,,,P. RY WfLLIam BLARE. • CHAPTER VI. " winn HER APRIL EYES." It was the first day of June, and a glory of summer lay over the land. *Oat at Henley the fair and cloudless blue of the sky seemed to be far away and remote from the shim- bering earth ; all the vast intervening space - was. a shining wonder of light ; while the variable airs that floated in butterfly fashion hither and thither were freshen(' sweet with the scent of the hawthorn and the lilacs and the masses of wallflower, golden yellow awl and criinaon, that basked in the hot sun. The prevailing silence seemed all the more intense because of the silver trilling . of the larks and the calling of children in the dis- tant meadows on the Berkshire side of the stream. There was hardly any other sound, and there was but little .sign of life either on the river or along its bank:, or even. in the town itself; for high noon at Henley (except at Regatta -time) meane an old-world, old- fashioned drowsiness and torpor and content, sufficiently impressive to any one who has just come away from the furious London whirl, The golden tassels of the laburnum droop idly in the -still sunshine; a clogttsleep on a door -step can dream on without fear el disturbance. And. it was to escape into this. • gracious calm and quiet, it Was to face certain prob- lems that loom large in the imagination of four -and -twenty, that Sidney Hume had abruptly flect away from London. He had found an admirable excuse. Quite recent discoveriesof inscriptions had again. drawn his attention to a subject that had always had for hint a curious fascination- the wanderings, namely, of those • companies of Greek tintors who, in the centuries immedi- ately preceding the birth, of, Christ, went travelling all over Asir; not only perforining the old masterpieces o Greek tragedy and. comedy, but also carryino°with them a poet. -each little troupe with its oWn poet -for the production of new plebes. India. beheld those thiasi, those bands of strolling play- ers ; Egypt treated -them well ; from court to court they went, fromiestival to festival; amply paid and amply belanded ; exempt from military service -in fact, the spoiled children of Dionys•ius; each nomadic corpor- ation complete within itself -actors, sing- ers, costume -makers, manager, treasurer, with likewise the harmless, necessary poet, And what, now, if this young Fellow of All - Souls were to lay aside, for a time at least, his inchoate and dusky Seythian studies to take up a Much more 'bright a,u•d vivid theme that appealed far Mote directly to his own tastes and sympathies ? But then he would have to look round among hiabooks,and his books were at Henley. So down he came to Henley; and no doubt his mother and Lady Helen assumed, perhaps with some touch of impatience, that it was this new subject that had demanded 80 great a sacrifice of him jut as the -Landon season was near- ing its height. NeyettlielesS7 rte he now wandered in soli- tary self -communion along tint itt'..13.ntiti kiit of the Thames, or toitered high tip ainong the Wargrave woods. it was not the Dion- yaia of two thousand yea,"ts .ago that chiefly claimed his attention. Rd was confronted with the problem of his own fature, and that in a very pressing and peremptoty manner. For it was clear that his mother expected him to marry Lady Helen Yorke ; and not only thaWbut, she seemed to assume that Lady Helen herself was also looking forward to this natural climax. Assuredly Lady Helen had .gone out °nee way to show him every mark of her favor. She had presented him with the beautiful head of Heratthat _now confined his scarf ; she ostentatiously wore that little trinket he had given her at Oxford ; she called him Sidney, and Helen he was to hiin when no strangers were present ; while she had so continually associated herself with him and his pursuits that. even at this moment, though he was not conscious of any more mykierious and more powerful magnetism, her mere absence left with him an undefined senseof loneliness. It is true that no word or sign of any understanding had passed between them. The little ceremony that Mrs.Hume had so indpporttinelybeheld .and misinter- preted meant nothing at all, though it was obviously impossible for either Of them to tell her so. Indeed, this -young fellow found himself in a, very awkward position, • though how he had got there he hardly knew ; and the question was whether he should at once beck out of it, or go On and answer to the expectation that appeared to have. been fprined. Then came tbe next question -a question • of appalling importance truly : What was this passion of love that the poets had been writing about all these centuries, and was it a necessary prelude to marriage ? He had hail his youthful fancies, of a nebulously sentimental nature, of course. • As a mere • school -boy he had been captivated by the fair, insomuch that his jealous rage •and championship had led him into fisticuffs. • But as a young man, while the sister •or cousin of one of his college companions may have attracted by rt noon of her pretty profile or graceful figure, the charm was but momentary ; while in ordinary society he found himself most drawn to a girlor.woman who could Oak amusingly and elenerly, na matter Who t might be her equipment in the way of gcod looks. But thispass.ion of love, •which so far he had escaped, surely it was a Teal thing ? It was not Merely in literatitte that Aphrodite the implacable-" implac- able Cypris, Cypris terrible, Cypris of mor- tals detested "-slew the ions of men. Did. he not see amid the ordinary news of -the day how some poor devil .of .a solicitor's clerk-- nay, even some crown -prince -must needs go and blow -his brains out, overcome by this madness of love and despair ? On the other hand, tilde was aurely, no allure- ment, nothing desirable, in any such -tem- pestuous frenzy. Sorely a union based on esteem and liking and ,cungenial tastes, would better commend itself to a reasonable human being. Tho great hulk of mortals appeared to go through their lives Without the aced of any chorus to cry, " 0 woe! woe ! woe !" His own brothers and sisters, for example, they were all getting comfort- ably along, happily settled, as far one could make' out; and as Merry as grigs at the' . Children Crylor Better go into the Red Lion, sir, and set a drop of brandy," said one of the by- standers who had helped to drag him to shore. " Here, take my arm; sir:" And mutely, liithont a word of thanks to his rescuer, he obeyed ; while Sidney also dripping, had to go back to the bridge -to nick up his coat and hat ; thence he made his'wity home, -veinal was nt great distance. But about half an hour thereafter, Sidney Hume, sitting in the.front garden of Lilac Cottage, and deeply buried in Muller's Bith- nenalteethumer, was startled by the appear- ance of a stranger t startled, because he seemed to know, and yet not to know, who this was. Surely he hadneeti that dumpy • figure -the clean-shaven leatm•es-the odd expression ? And then it flashed upon him that this was no -other than the adventurous oarsman he had but recently fished out of the Thames -how no longer, alas ! a dapper youth in boating flannels, but a nondescript creature of sombre hue, in garments that were certainly never made for him.

And I've got to. apologize, too, for these wretched things," he contin- ued, looking dowit discontentedly at his borroived clothes. " Don't wonder you should have noticed them." Sidney was not aware that he had been guilty of any such rudeness. "Tho best they could do for me --while my own things are getting dried," the young man proceeded. " But I didn't want to. lose any time in malting an apology. Awful bad form, you nmet have thought " Not at all not ot all," Sidney said. " You make, too much of a little trifle like that.

" ''Soeu 'needn't im- agine, because Tin wearing these infernal things, that I can't produce a decentglass of fizz when a friend calls." " You're very kind," Sidney responded. " And now cau I offer you' anything ?. If you've swallowed a mouthitil or two of Thames water, it wants Some qualifying.' " No, thanks -no; thanks," the young man said. • There wat evidently something on his mind. " It's the other 'Way about.

The Hellenistic world of • two thousand years ago, dumb and distant, gave place to the modern world .of London, with its continuous, monotonousmurmur of fashion and festivity. And what if he were to yield to this urgent appeal? He knew not whither bis consent might lead; but he knew the desire that was in' his mother's heart. Then again be returned to his curi- ous questionings; were the paesionate frenzy the bitter longing, the agony and despair of love mere _tricks of trade on the part of the poets, mere conventionalities of literature ? t -or on the •other hand, if they were only too real, were they not things to be avoided. by any sane pertOn wishing to remain sane ? Moreover, if he now returned to London, the season would not last forever. He could take some books with him to fill in the odd hours.- Then would come a cessa- tion of that mad pursuit of pleasure ; then would come quiet and -application, with per- haps soma definite achievertient of work to justify his training a,nd his toil. And yet,- plausible as this reasoning may bane been, it left behind At, as - his former dim speculations had done, the, strangest restlessness, and even a dull, namelese,inex- plicable regret. At last be threw down the book.. He could bear this'inaction these haunting meditations, no longer. fle got his stick- and hat and set forth. All this bright, breezy, Leautifol world seemed to - call for some joy. of motion, some freer breathing, some happier elasticity of thought. The tall poplars were swaying and rustling against the blue of the sky ; the drooping -willows dipped and trembled over the stream ; the big leaves of the wis- teria in the trellis -work were blown across the branches of purple •blossom •, while the gusts of wind, alternating with bursts of sunlight, struck the surface of the river into wide sheeta of silver, though there was a sharp gleam of azure farther along, where the daisied fields appeared to meet. And when he got farther out into the country, all this moving, changing panittoma seemed to growmorevivid and intense. Now a tow of elms along an upland height would - grow antrat hlack.against the deep cerulean spaces of the heavens ; again the sunlight, springing down upon a field of charlock, would produce a glare of lemon -yellow bewildering to the eye, Rooks were cawing above the topmost branches; larks carolling high in the clear air; sheep bleating in the , distant pasture ; a cock bidding aid de- fiance from some neighboring farm ; about the only siletit creature he encountered was a, cuckoo that with noiseless hawklike flight sought shelter in the umbrageous foliage of a, sycamore. A summer day it was, though wiib some surviving look of the spring about it. There even came asudden shower; but as the rain fell in the open sunlight be- tween the golden -green meadows and a shadowed line of upland, it merely formed a shimmering silver veil, that gradually dis- appeared, leaving beat behind. And conte springlike was the next thing he saw when hp _returned to the town. It was a Wedding ' at St.' Mary' it Church, and the bells were ringing, and the coachman wore fine nosegays, and twin rows of young damsels, each holding a basket of flowers, waited to scatter blossoms in the path of the bride, as she walked freat the church door to the gate. It was going to be a pretty sight, and he thought he would stay to sec it. It was of our own time; why should it not interest him as much as the chanting of the twelve Laconian maidens outside the Spartan bridal bower of Helen? A small sprinkling of a crowd, mostly woo men,had gathered around the gate, murmur- ing in their talk, and benignly expectant. Th.en the bride appeared:, in all her white artay, leaning on the arm of the bridegroom, . and followed by her bridesmaids and friends; and as the newlyonarried couple came along the pathway to the gate, the small wenches with the baskets threw flowers before them: but especially before the feet of the bride, who hardly looked to one side or the other, so agitated ohs she. Yet this was a happy wedding. The sun shone on it and on the gay procession ot folks, and Sidney thought the scattering of these handfuls of bloseoms a very wintome ceremony here in front of the old-fashioned English church, in the quiet old-fashioned English town. And now -now came his undoing, the work of an instant. -There had been stand- ing not far from him it young girl whom he had hardly noticed,for her back was towards him, and he had been chiefly occupied in watching the small lasees strewing the flowers. • But 118 soon as the bride had 'passed, this girl turned to come away ; and as she did so, her eyes suddenly encountered his. She had not been prepared to meet the gaze of any stranger; she also had been regarding that pretty spectacle of the children and the fluttering marguerites and paueies ; and she was smiling in sympathy, her lips slightly parted, her eyes. full of amiability and kindness ; -Nay, for him, etartled as he. wits, they were full of far more than that ; all the spring and all the snmmer seemed to dwell there, and the sweet desire of youth and inno- cence, and the timidity of a fawn, He was vaguely aware of a bewilderment of beauty aboet her face, and of a clear and rose - tinted complexion ; and likewise there was some kind of stirrotinding glory of hair. But thee things were a nothing; he only ii knew that in this m ment of self -forget- fulness on her part the had unwittingly gazed into her very soul -shining in these happy, youthful eyes that were as blue as the blue of a June sea. Then, the next instant, frightened, she had withdrawn that inadvertent glance, and had continued on her way, her head downcast, her steps some- what hurried. He stood transfixed, breath- less, almost benumbed, as it were. He saw her pass quickly along the pavenu int Why, even the very colors of her dress -the cool: light lilacs, with a touch of yellow and white -seemed also ' to speak of youth and freshness, and the blooms and sprays of the early summers.; Was it some vision that had been vouchsafed him? for she had sud- denly. disappeared. He had no power to follow; he dated .not follow:' he felt as though he had already been guilty of wrong. And perhaps he had. kor in that mo- ment of forgetfulness and smiling sympathy and good wishes her eyes also had met his, and had found something there. Alas ! that was the tragic part of it. • (To be Continued.) . • -The c ilebr tted humorous or ttor, Max O'Rell while delivering a lecture in Torontc, Monday night, 3rd inst., made a sharp hit at the representative Scotchman. He is re- ported as saying: " The ficotchman was 'sterling, inatter-of-fact, industrious, anal - he said it deliberately -humorous. Stern, strong and unyielding as his native granite, withiron muscles, powerful hands and huge feett-the size of the latter ,explained the origin of the kilts, for he could never get those feet 'through a pair of :. ttousers. (Laughter.) Wherever the Scotehman went he succeeded, and that success -was not due to extraordinary conditions nor to luck, as tlie failures in life would fain believe. His religion was `Trust in (4od and rely on yourself,' and his motto, ' Help yotirself and Heaven will help you.' Scotland was the only country in the World where the Jews had never got a footing -if they had staid there they . would have starved. Crossing the fit. George's Channel to the Green Isle, the speaker occupied the last few thilitit& of his address with Pat, whose proverbial wit be described as pathetioombtle and poetical. • Hibernianisms were not the re- sult of stupidity, but the overflow of intel- lioence. In all his travels Max O'Rell de- clared he had seen nothing to surpase the intellectual attaimnents of Irishmen or the beauty of Irishwomen, adding that the places where he had seen the lorliest women were on the streets of Budapest and the drawing rooms of Dublin. t itt tt. basket of dirty linen.I'M notgoing up to see Jim Summers like this -Mr. &m- iners; I mean -Mr. Summers ; perhaps you don't know him?"

" But why shouldn't yea call • on your friends all the same?' Sidney inquired, good-naturedly. He began to be quite in- terested in this guilelest youth.. He stretched out his arms, displaying his bulging sleeves ; he looked down on his twisted tiousers, with an inexpressible loathing. " Like this ?" he repeated, almost re- proauhfully. "Like this Why, Jim Summers is the best fellow in the world - Mr. Summers, 1 mean -but he'd- burst out laughing ; he'd ask me wherethe petroleum was, so that I could set myself. on fire for a Guy Fawkes._ • No ; what I want to suggest, Mr. • Hume -4. understand that is your name, and I am proud to -make 'your ac- quaintance, as I ought to be • ;after the good turn you did me to-day-owell, as I tan't go to Call on my friends, because of these in- fernal rags, I thought you might come along to the Red Lion and ,have a bit of early din- ner with me.
