" Yes - I say yen are beautiful, though I
have jusepeen the Most bewitching woman
that ever blessed my eyess-in your car-

thought, there flashed -across his mind a con-
viction that the beauty and Aspatria were
identical. It was a Momentary intelligence ;
he grasped it merely as a clew that might
lead him somewhere.
" In my carriage ? I dare say it was Ria.

" Have you brought back with you that

" Neither Elizelieth nor you have ever

" Did you expect us to change guard ',over
and quite forgotten you."
" think you onght. Also, you should
give her her freedoM. I consider your be-
haviour a dog -in -the -manger atrocity."
" Can you not pick nicer words, Sarah?"
" Sarah, telt Me truly, have I lost my
good looks ?"
She regarded hiM attentively a moment,
and answered : ", Not quite. You have
some good points ,yet. You have grown
thin and gray and lost something and per-
haps gained something ; but you are not
very old, and then, you know, you have
your title and yonr castle and your very
old, old family, and I suppose a good deal
of money." In reality, she was sure that
he had never been io attractive ; for he had
now the magic of a countenance informed
by intellect and experience, eyes brimming
with light, lips neither loze nor course, yet
full of passion and the faculty of enjoy-
ment.
He smiled giimiy at Saiah's list of his
charms and said, " When will you intro-
duce me to your future sister ?"

" Do you suppose she would leave a mod-

" She is the sister of the officer you sa

nearly two years."
" Then of course she is not Aspatria, and

or and my eyes do not see correctly. I will

ter. If elle should name me at all-"

Ulfar was now in a vortex. Things went
around and around in his consciousness ;
and whenever he endeavored to examine
events with his reason, then feeling ad-
vanced isome unsupported conviction, and
threw him back into the same senseless
whirl of 'emotion.
Ile had failed to catch the point which
would have given him the clew to the whole
mystery, -the identity of Brune with the
splendidly accoutred officer Sarah avowed to
- be her intended husband.
Without taking special note of him, M-
ier had seen certain signs of birth breedinge
and assured position. In -his mind there
was a great gulf between the haughty
looking soldier and the simple, handeome,
but rather boorish -looking young Squire of
Amber -Side. The two individuals were as
far apart in social claims as the north and
south poles are apart physically.
And if this beautiful woman were indeed
Aspatria, how could he reeonoile the fact
with her • education at St. Alban's, her
friendship with such exalted families, her
relationship to an officer of evident
birth and position? When he thought
thus, he acknowledged the impossibiiity ;
but then no sooner had he acknowledged it
than his heart passionately denied the de-
duction with the eimple iteration, " it is
Aspatria or not he told himself that he
was at last genuinely in love. Every affair
before_ was tame, pale, uninteresting. If it
was not Aspatria then the first Aspatria
was the shadow of the second and real•one ;
the preface to love's glorious tale ; the pre-
lude to his song ; the gray, sweet dawn to
his perfect day. He could not eat, not sit
still, nor think reasonably, nor yet atop
thinking. Tne sun steed still; the min-
utes were hours, at four o'clock he wished
to fling the timepiece out of the window.
Aspatria had the immense strength of
certainty. She knew. Also she had Sarah
to advise with. Still better she had the
conviction that Ulfar lovediher. Perhaps
Sarah bad exaggerated Ulfar's desperate
condition ; if NO she had done it conscious.
ly, for she knew that as soon as a woman
is sure of her power she puts on an auth-
ority which commands She was only
afraid that Ulfar would not be kept in
suspense long enough, that Aspatria would
forgive him too easily.
" Do make yourself tut puzzling as you
con for this one night, Aspatria," she
urged. " Try to oatvio and outdo and MU
affront that dove -like simplicity he used to
adore in ou, and into which you are still
apt to re apse. He told me once that you

school in Kendal. It was a Quaker school.

" No black gown to -night. I havei mind
to stay here and see that you turn the
Quakerees into a princess."
" I will do all you -wish. To -night you
shall have.yoar way ; but poor Ulfar must
have suffered, and-"
" Poor Ulfar, indeed ? Be merry ; that is
the best armor against love. WhaV ruins

But though she lectured and advised As-
pataia as to the ways of men and the ways
of love, Sarah had not much faith in her
own counsels. " No one can draw out a
programme for a woman's heppiness she
mused .. " She will not keep to it's lines.
Now, I do wonder whether she will dress
gorgeously or not ? What did Soloman in
all his glory wear ? elf Aspatria only knew
how dress catches a man s eye, and then
touches his vanity and they set firei to his
imagination end finally somehow, some way
gets to his heart ! If she only knew,-
. All thoughts, all passions, all delights
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
Are but the minieters of Love,
And feed his sabred flame !"
A little before nine, Ulfar entered Sarah's
drawing -room. It was lighted with wax
candles. It was sweet with fresh violets,
and at the farther end Aspatria stood by her
harp. She was dressed for Lady Chester's
ball and was waiting her chaperon ; but
there had been a little rebellion against her
leaving without giving her adniirers one
song. Every person was suggesting his or
her favorite, and she stood stniling, uncer-
tain, listening, watching, for one voice and
face.
Her dazzling bodice. was clasped with
emeralds ; her draperies were of damasked
gauze, shot with gold and silver and abloom
with lowers. Her fair neck sparkled with
diamonds and the long white fingere which
touehed the strings so firinlysglinted with
flashing gems. The moment Ulfar entered
she saw him. His eyes, full of fiery pres-
cience forced her to ineet her inquiry • and
then it was that she sat down and filled the
room with tinkling notes, that made every
one remember the mountains and the merry
racing of the spring *hinds and the trick -

moment. This is my friend Sir Ulfar Fen -
lifted her. eyes sweetly to his eyes ;
she hewed with the grace and benignity of
a qtrea and adroitly avoided speech by
turning the melody into songe

Eveiy word went to Mar's heart and
amid all the soft cries of delight he alone
was silent. She was beaming with smiles,
she was radiant as a goddess ; the light
seemed to vanish from the room When she
went away. Her adieu was a general one,
exoepting to Ofar. On him she turned her
bright eyes and courtesied low with one
upward glance. It set hil heart on fire. He
knew that gleam. They might say this or
that, they might lie to him neck dema he
knew it was Aspatria ! Ile was cross with
Smith. He Itemised her of downright de-
eeption. Ire told her frankly that he be-

She bade him come in the morning and
talk to Ria ; and he asked iMpetuOutply :
" How soon.? Twelve, I suppose? How
am I to pass the time until twelve to-
morrow ?"
" Why this haste r
" Why this deception ?"
" After seven years indifference are you
suddenly gone mad ?''
" I feel aa if I wellbeing very badly used."
"'How does the real Aspatria feel ?
at once to Ainbar-Side."
" The real Aepatria is here. I know it !
" In a court of law what evidence would
feeling be 7"
" I will to -morrow it ten o'clock."
His impetuosity pleased her.. She was
disposed to leave him to Aapatria now. And
Aepatria was disposed on the following
morning to make his confession veay easy to
him. She had dressed herself in the simple
black gown she had kept ready for this
event. It had the short elbow eleevee and
the ruffle round the open throat and the
daffodil against her snowy breast that dis-
tinguished the first costume he had ever
seen her in. She loosened her hair and let
it fall in two long braids behind her ears.
She was, as far as dress could mike her so,
the Aspatria who had held the light to wel-
come him to Ambar-Side that stormy night
ten years ago.
He was standixtg: in th• e middle of the
room, restless and expectant, when she
opened the door. He called her by name
and went to meet her. She trembled and
was silent.
" Aspatria, is it you My Life ? My
Soul 1 It is you 1"
He took her hands • they were as cold as
ice. He drew her dose to his Bide ; he
seemed to see her eyes ; he whispered word
upon word of affection -sweet-meaning
nouns and adjectives tha't caught a real
=physical heat from the impatient heart and
tongue that forged and uttered them.
• Forgive tne, my dearest I Forgive me
fully ! Forgive me at once and altogeth-
er ! Aapatria I love you ! I love none bat
you ! I will ;dor& you all my life 1 Speak
one word to me, one word my love OM
She forgot in a moment all -that she had
suffered. She forgot all she had promised
Sarah, all her intents of coldness, all' re-
proaches' ; she forgot even to forgive him.
She just put her Darns around his neck and
kissed him. She blotted out the past forever
in that one whispered word, "Ulfac.";
And then he took her to his heart ; he
kissed het for very. wonder ; he
kissed her for very jay • but Mott of all he
kissed her for fervent'. love. Then once
more life was an " Interlude in Heaven."
Every hour held some sweee surprise, some
accidental joy. It was l3rune,it- was Sarah,
it was some eulogium of Infer in the great
London weekliee. He had fought in the
good fight of freedom ; he had done great
deeds of mercy as well as of valor ; he had
crossed primeval forests and brought batik
wonderful medicines, and eyes and -many
new speeintens for the botanist and sthe nat-
uralist. The papers were never weary of
praising his pluck, his bravery, his gener-
osity and his endurance ; the Geographical
Society sent to him its coveted blue ribbon.
In his own way. Ulfar had made himself a
fit mate for the new Aspatria.
And she was a constant wonder ta him.
Nothing in all his strange experience, touch-
ed his heart like the thought of his:simple
patient wife, studying to please him, to
be worthy of his love. Every day revealed
her in some new and charming light. She
was one hundred Aspatrias in a single, love-
able, lovely woman. Oa whatever subject
Ulfar spoke, she understood, supplemented,
sympathized with or waisted- him. She
could talk in French and Italian ; she was
not ignorant of botany and natural science
and oho W44 delighted te ho his pupil.
In a single month- tbe,y beeame all the
world to each other ; and then the be an
to long for the lonely old castle routing
the wild North sea, to !plan for its restora-
tion and for the sweet home life which
alone could matisfy the thirst of their
hearts for each othees presence. At the
end of June they went northwerd.
It was the month of :the rose and the
hedges were pink and the garden was. a gar-
den.of roses. There were banks of roses,
mazes of roses,walks and standard. of roses,
masses of glorious color and breezes scented
with roses. Butterflies were chasing one
another among the flower' ; nightingales
languid with love, were singing softly above,
them. And in the Midst was a gray old
!smith+, flying its old border flaga and looking
as happy ale if it were at a festival.
Aspatria was enraptured, spellbound with
delight. With Ulfar she wandered from
one beauty to another until they finally
reached a standard of pale pink roses. Their
loveliness was beyond compare ; their
scent went to the brain like some divine
essence. It was a glory, --e prayer, -a song
of joy ! Aspatria stood beside it and seem-
ed to Ulfar but its mertal manifestation.
She was clothed in a gown of pale -pink
brocade, with a little mantle of the same,
trimmed with white lace and pink roses.
She was a perfect rose of womanhood. She
was the glory of his life, hie prayer, his
song of joy 1
"It is the loveliest place in the warld 1"
he said, " and you 1 you are the loveliest
woman ! My sweet Aspatria 1"
She smiled diesinely. " And yet," she
answered, "I remember, Ulfar, a song of
yours that said something very different.
Listen :
There is a rose of a hundred leaves,
But the wild rose is the sweetest 111
And as she sang the words, Ulfar had a
vision of a young girl, fresh and pure as a
mountain bluebell, in her scrimp black
frock. He saw the wind blowing it tight
over her virgin form ; he saw her fair child-
ish, troubled face as she kissed him ,farewell
in the vicar's meadow and then. he saw the
glorious woman, nobly planned, perfect on
every side, that the child wife had grown to.
So, when she ce&sed, he pulled the fairest
rose on the tree ; he took from it every
thorn, he put it in her breast, he kiss-
ed tbe rose and he kissed her
rose -like face. Then he took up the song
where she dropped it and hand in hand,
keeping time to its melody, they crossed
the threshold of their bleseed home.
" The robin sang beneath tbe eavee
" Thera iB a rose of a hundred leaves,
But the wild rose is the, sweetest.
" The nightingale made answer clear :
" 0 darling rose 1 more fair, more dear 1 -
0 rose of a hundred leaves 1"

You mayliesr the sound of their falling feet,
Going down to the river where two worlds meet ;
They go. to return no more.
There's a place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too. usigned.
Step into the front with a cheerful face ;
Be qui*, or another may take your plaoe,
And you may be left behind.
There is wo`r‘ to be done by the way, mY boy,
That you ver oan- tread again -
ie
Work for th loftiest, lowliest man ;
Work for th plow, plane, spindle and pen ;
Work for the hands and the brain. f .
The terpent will follow your etepe, iry boy,
To lay for your feet a snare ;
And Plunge sits in her fairy bowers.
With garlands of poppies and lotus Rowers
Inwreathing her golden hair. •
Temptations will wait by the Ivey. my boy -
Temptations without and within ;
And eptrits of evilowith robes as fair
As those which the angels in heaven might wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armour of God, my boy,
In the beautiful days of youth ;
Put on the hamlet and breast -plate and shield,
And sword the feeblest ann may wield
In the cause of right and truth.
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
Witis the peace of the Gospel ehod ;
And before high heaven, do the best you can
For the great reward and the 'poi of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

Not So Crazy az Efe Seemed.
At Bloomingdale Asylum they have among
the assembled lunatics many who are not
too violent or too mischievous to be allowed
to roam about the grounds. Recently the
superintendent has given occupation to
some of these " trusties, ' by utilizing them
in carrying on the improvements about the
asylum grounds. Some of them have been
set to trundling bricks in wheelbarrows.
A few days ago one of the attendants saw
a grey -bearded wheelbarrow .nan promenad-
ing solenenly through a side path, pushing
before him a wheelbarrow turned upside
do'w‘ Ire you," cried the attendant, " hold
ba'r‘roWwhp are you doing with that wheel-
" Friend," replied the crazy man, with
patient courtesy, " if you had watched me
carefully you would have seen what I was
doing with the wheelbarrow. I was push-
ing it 'friend. I will now push it sore
more."
He started on.
" Hold up a minute," pretested the at-
tendant, Don't you know that it is fool-
ieh to push a wheelbarrow that is wrong
" Foolish ?" said the lunatic. ",Not on
your life is it foolish ! I am not so crazy as
I look, friend. Yesterday I kept my Wheel-
barrow right sidelup and a pie -faced Irishman
came along and filled it , full of bricks. I
know better, now."

This canny Sootchman showed a com-
mendable readinese to give credit where it
justly belonged. His local attachments
were likely to lead to cemplications, but all
clahne upon his loyalty could easily. be
tested by the scales.
I, You are a native of this pariah ?" asked
a sheriff of a Scotch witness, who was sum-
moned to testify in a case of illicit distill-
ing.
Maistly, yer honor," was the reply:.
" I mean, were you born in this parish ?"
" Nae, yer honor ; I weans born in this
